CHAPTER 147Jayden called Mr Richardson's number again and it wasn't going through. He looked at the number if he had dialed it wrong. " it is the right one so why isn't it going through?" Medeia walked into his room and caught him talking to himself " Is anything the matter honey?" she asked looking a bit concern." I am fine. How are you seeing?" He asked with a smile touching her belly." I think the baby just kicked," she shouted with great joy. It was now a couple of months since Jayden saw Helena. They both do things separately and don't call on each other.The detective knowing that Yohan was safe and sound decided to find out the cause of Sir Benjamin's death which still was something that would take a lot of time. " How is the antenatal going? Let me know if you need some money to get anything " Jayden told her. Jayden continued to fiddle with his phone, frustration etched across his face. "I can't reach Mr. Richardson. Something's not right," he muttered, glancing at the
CHAPTER 148Jayden, torn between his desire for justice and the need to bring harmony to his family, contemplated Martha's words. "I'll think about it, Martha. But it won't be easy. There's a lot of history and mistrust between us. Besides, I think she had a hand in the death of Sir Benjamin. I don't want to trust her yet." he replied.Martha looked at him and knew it was more than just the death of Sir Benjamin but it would be better if both buried the hatchet for the sake of the company.The media, always hungry for the latest scoop, closely followed the developments within Sweint City's elite circles. The contrasting stories of impending parenthood and corporate power struggles painted a vivid narrative that captivated the public's attention.As the city braced itself for the next twist in the saga, Woody continued to try and reason with Bella. "You're capable of so much more than revenge. Don't let your anger define your future. Reconciliation might not be easy, but it's a step to
CHAPTER 149" No! No!! Please, it was a mistake. I didn't do it on purpose." Desmond shouted out from his sleep Allen walked into his room upon hearing his nose. " Wake up Desmond. Wake up!" she tapped him." Ah!." Desmond woke up all sweaty, he looked beside him and saw Allen who had his head on her breast. " What is it, honey? You have been having a lot of nightmares lately. Too many if you would ask me. Is anything the matter?" She looked at his sweaty face." It is nothing. I am just having trouble closing my eyes for a linger period. What about Bella? Where is she?" Desmond asked." She is with Woody, she said she needed to see her for some reason," Allen replied and looked at him." I will be fine. I am sorry I made you worry about me most of the time." Desmond apologizes. " It is fine. I understand that you have been through a lot but you should know you are not in this alone. You can tell me whatever it is that is troubling you. A problem shared is always solved." Allen rep
CHAPTER 150" I know that it is hard to believe my child but a mother never forgets her kids. Can you come home for dinner?" Allen asked." Dinner? With just you or the entire family?" Medeia asked back." The family. Is that such a bad idea? We could talk and also do things as a family now. You can even bring Jayden along with you." Allen replied, cleaning the tears off her face." I will consider it mother. I am not promising to come but I will think about it." Medeia concluded and cut off the call before Allen could say anything else.Medeia tapped her table with her nails and wondered what they wanted with her. She knew her family too well and now they try getting whatever they want either by crook or cranny. She picked up her phone to call Jayden but she knew he would be upset to hear that.Amber walked into the office after some time to check on her. " Are you alright ma?" She asked with a worried look on her face." I am fine, Amber. Just some family drama." She replied." Abou
CHAPTER 151Medeia looked at Bella who in return shot her an unwelcome look. " Mother, why did you call me here? I don't think I am welcome. So, please leg be done with whatever it is you want to talk about." she said looking from Allen to DesmondThe truth was that Medeia wasn't Allen's daughter but they had decided to keep it a secret from her. " How can you talk like that honey? We truly love you and care for you as our own." Desmond replied " Care for me? Did you just say "Care for me?" Medeia looked at Desmond and then back at Allen, she then looked at Bella who was getting irritated by the fact that they called her to the table " I don't see why we need to do this. It is obvious that she doesn't want to be here. So, why not let her go." Bella rolled her eyes and hissed at Medeia Desmond looked at her and she kept quiet " I don't remember asking for your opinion in all of this. What have you ever done well for the family? All you do is constitute a nuisance for the family. You
CHAPTER 152Desmond opened his eyes wide as her tongue fondled his before he closed his eyes. Helena let go of him and stared into his eyes. " I love you, Desmond Moore. I am sure your wife doesn't know what you are?" She said walking away from him " What I am? What am I?" He asked staring at Helena " A rare gem. That is what you are. You have these skills that need to be put to use. Let's forget about our family and be together." Helen's voice could be heard in the garden" Leave my family? I am sorry but I can't kill my wife." Desmond replied " Well, you don't need to do but I want you to myself and I want you to reconsider what I asked of you. Killing Jayden would do us good, okay." Helena added Suddenly, they heard a movement in the flowers " Who is there?" Desmond shouted walking towards the plant while Helena limped towards him. He looked in between the flowers and saw no one. " It might have been the cats," Desmond said catching his breath " Let's take it one step at a ti
CHAPTER 153Desmond's heart raced as Mr. Richardson's revelation hung in the air. The sealed envelope in Yohan's possession held the answers to Sir Benjamin's final wishes, and the weight of uncertainty settled upon the room.Bella broke the tense silence, her voice wavering, "Why would Sir Benjamin give it to Yohan? What does this mean? What does he have to do with his will?"Mr. Richardson sighed, "I can't say for certain, but it seems Sir Benjamin saw something in Yohan that the rest of us may not have."Desmond's mind raced, torn between the revelation and Helena's frightening agenda. "We need to find Yohan and that envelope. It holds the key to everything," he declared, determination in his eyes." Does he even have it?" Bella asked " he is suffering from loss of memory at the moment so I doubt it," Desmond replied " Why don't you call Mrs Helena? She might be up to something or Yohan might have regained his memory." Desmond looked at their faces, he knew that didn't understan
CHAPTER 154Jayden called the detective in charge of his grandfather's death and lashed out at him. " What the hell is going on? This has been dragging on now. I thought by now you should be able to tell me who killed my grandfather. We know he was killed and why are you not bringing me his killer?" He scowled over the call." You need to calm down Mr Jayden, we are doing our best to catch the culprit but we don't have solid evidence. And we can't go about discussing an innocent person." Detective Redrjck replied " I am giving you an ultimatum of one month to find me who the killer is or I will have to go straight to the top. Are you telling me you can't do a simple mob locating a murderer?" Jayden yelled over the phone again. Slammed the phone on the floor and it shattered into piecesMedeia walked into his room and found him sobbing. It was obvious he missed his grandfatherJayden wiped away his tears and looked at Medeia, his eyes reflecting a mix of sorrow and determination. "I c
