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
CHAPTER 186Jayden's joy knew no bounds as he was welcomed into the Gracehill corporation. Many of them wish him a good and successful life ahead while some say he lied to get his Aunt Helena locked.Upon entering the Gracehill corporation, Jayden was met with friendly smiles and messages of congratulations from the staff. A lot of them showed their admiration for his bravery and resolve in holding Desmond and Helena accountable.Mr. Thompson, who was the acting CEO of the corporation, expressed his pride in having Jayden as a part of the Gracehill family while extending his hand in welcome.Jayden firmly shook Mr. Thompson's hand, feeling a swell of pride in his chest. "Thank you," he responded, his voice reflecting gratitude. "I feel privileged to be present in this place."During the day, Jayden met different departments and teams within the company, all of whom were excited to collaborate with him. He was amazed by the commitment and expertise of the staff and felt a hopeful antic
CHAPTER 185As Desmond and Helena were led into the police station, the atmosphere was tense and charged with energy. Jayden and Yohan stood, their expressions showing strong determination. The proof collected was strong, and they were prepared to witness justice being served."Desmond and Helena, you're being arrested for the killing of Sir Benjamin Gracehill, Theodore, and Sandra," stated one of the officers in a strong tone.Desmond sneered, a self-satisfied grin dancing in his mouth. "He looked at Jayden and Yohan and spat, saying they had no evidence."Yohan moved closer, displaying the files with incriminating evidence. "We certainly do," he said, anger flashing in his eyes. "We have statements from witnesses, records from phones, and footage from surveillance cameras that confirm both of you were present at the crime scene."For a moment, Helena's calm demeanor faltered, a hint of fear appearing on her face. However, she swiftly composed herself, narrowing her eyes in defiance
Meanwhile, Jayden had told the hospital to announce the death of Robert to avoid putting his life in danger and also told the doctor to make sure no one came to claim his body. " I am his only family." He warned the doctor. Jayden immediately had Medeia and Benjamin flown out of Sweint City that night to protect them. He had Amber and Brian follow them for protection. " What is going on?" Medeia asked him over the phone. " Helena has gone berserk. I don't know what she would do to you and the child if she caught you. She might even want to use you as a bargaining chip. Jayden called Yohan '' we need to set the ball in motion. I am sure Desmond and Helena will be out for my head. Have the files with you turned in to the police and have them start an investigation immediately. " Where are you? " Yohan asked " Right now, I need to be with Robert. He has got only me." Jayden replied. As Jayden rushed to Robert's ward his mind buzzed with a flurry of thoughts. The sudden turn of events
Helena looked at him and froze. " Have you been stalking me?" She asked, frightened. " I don't have time to go about explaining everything you have done so please just save yourself the trouble of humiliating yourself. I expect to have the divorce papers by tomorrow. If I don't see it then I would have to send mine." Robert replied, walking out of Helena who seemed lost. She knew there was something off about Robert but she didn't expect him to tail her anywhere she was going. Helena took out her phone and called Desmond. " He has it! The phone and everything we have done." She screamed her lungs out " That isn't my problem. You fix it. You can expect me to keep running towards you every time there is an issue to be solved. Just make sure you have the phone. I don't know how you plan on making it happen but just get it!." Desmond shouted at her.Helena immediately entered her car and chased after Robert. Robert looked at his windscreen and saw Helena was right after him. He took hi
CHAPTER 182" Since you are listening to me, you should know what I want. I have your sex tape with me and I will have it released to the world. I know there are many evil deeds but we would unravel them one by one. I don't want anything from you. I just want you to pay for your crimes and every single pain you have melted out to the weak. " Robert said and cut off the line before Helena could beg him. He looked down and watched how she banged the steering in frustration. Robert knew he had to switch the phone off to avoid being tracked. Helena immediately took out her phone and called Desmond " I am coming over to the Villa and we also need to talk. It is high time we take care of this matter once and for all." Desmond, who felt relaxed that his plans were beginning to hatch felt agitated once more. He needed to wrap things up in time but it looks like the time was against him. He was the killer of Medeia's mother and had all of her weakening from her immediately when she died. H
CHAPTER 181With Allen and Bella walking out of the picture it was easy for Desmond to make up his mind about marrying Helena. He quickly called her " Hello baby, I will be with you in a few minutes. Where do you want to meet up? " He askedHelena was thrilled that they were going to be finally together. " I will send you the location of the Gracehill villa. You can stay there while I try to clear things up with my husband. This calls for celebration." Helena said as she hung up the line. Little did she know that Desmond was also planning to have her killed and have all the money and will for himself. Allen watched as Desmond drove out of the compound with the promise he was going to make life better for them. He drove towards the Villa and his mind went on how he was going to make Helena hand over the will to him and put everything she ever owned under his name. It could have been easier if his friend, George was not dead.He would have been a great asset. He would just wipe off h
CHAPTER 180" You are really going to leave me after everything we have been through. I can't believe you would just throw away what we have built over the years. Do you think I killed Fiona just to allow you to be with another woman? What am I even talking about. You killed her to take over her properties. Do you think you would have been able to if I haven't been by your side? Now that things are going so well for us you then decide to get married to that whore. I won't sit back and watch you leave me alone. " Allen shouted at him.Desmond looked at her and rubbed his hands over his hair. He was having a lot to deal with within a limited space of time. He had a lot of blood on his hands. He alone had killed Theodore, Sir Benjamin and even killed his first white all because of money. It looks like everything was catching up to him at once and his secret was about to be in the open.Desmond stood there, his mind racing as he tried to process everything that was happening. His careful
CHAPTER 179 The room was tense as everyone kept quiet. Jayden looked at them " Can you both ddo do do do o something? She asked you a question and it demands an answer. " He shouted at Desmond, who was now shivering. " it looks like you have a lot of secrets in your family. I guess you don't mind us finding out by ourselves." Jayden grabbed Medeia's hand and they both walked out on them. Bella looked at her parent again. " Can someone tell me what is going on right now I don't understand. Medeia just asked you both a simple question. Are you really her parents?" Desmond looked at Allen and both of them knew it was only a matter of time before she finds out. They had tried to bury the secret and bribe as many people who knew about it. " Ask your mother. " Desmond said getting up from his seat. He picked up his phone and called someone who he thinks can help with covering the matter from escalating.Bella walked closer to her mother changing her seat. " Are you Medeia's biological
CHAPTER 178" What is the matter Medeia? " Desmond asked over the call. He was having a lot on his plate at the moment and wasn't ready to add another to it. " I am coming right now to the mansion. I need to see you and Mother. " She looked at Jayden's face. " Are you sure all is fine? you can just talk to me over here and we can settle it. " Desmond replied." I just said I can't say it over the phone. I need to see you and Mother before I can ask you anything ." She replied." Alright. I will be seeing you soon then. " Desmond replied cutting the line. Jayden changed course and headed towards the Moore's villa. he drove into the compound and walked out to open the door for Medeia. " You need to play it cool or we won't get to the bottom of this," Jayden warned her trying to make her calm. As they strode into the house, they met Bella who also drove into the compound. " Well, Well, who do we have here? Did you get lost or something? " She said with a smirk." You are stupid if yo
