CHAPTER 158In the dimly lit room, George exchanged glances with Spider, his supposed driver. Unbeknownst to Helena, the atmosphere had shifted, and danger loomed in the air. As they stepped into the waiting car, George sensed that Spider was not just a driver; he was an assassin, a pawn in Helena's twisted game.The car sped through the night, and George's mind raced, realizing he had walked into a trap. Unfazed, Spider spoke in a low, ominous tone, "You've got something Helena wants to keep hidden, don't you?" George hesitated, feeling a knot tighten in his stomach. The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on him.Meanwhile, back at Helena's mansion, Yohan's eyes flickered open. The memories flooded back like a rushing tide, and he found himself in a room unfamiliar to him. He cautiously got up, the grogginess dissipating. The events leading to his memory loss played like a movie in his mind, revealing the treachery and deceit surrounding him.Yohan's escape plan formed rapidly.
CHAPTER 159Spider's voice echoed through the phone, cold and calculated. "Desmond, your little game has taken an unexpected turn. I have the leverage now, and if you want to keep your secrets hidden, you better listen carefully."Desmond's heart raced, realizing the tables had turned. "What do you want? We had a deal." Spider chuckled, a sinister sound that sent shivers down Desmond's spine. "Deals change, my friend. I want more than just money now. I want power, influence, and a guarantee that you won't double-cross me."Desmond clenched his fists, his mind racing to find a way out of this predicament. "You're pushing it too far. We had an agreement."Spider's tone turned menacing. "I hold the cards now, Desmond. You either play along or watch your empire crumble. Helena might want to rethink it twice before ordering a hit on me."Helena, overhearing the conversation, approached Desmond cautiously. "What's going on? Why is he asking for more?"Desmond gritted his teeth, frustration
CHAPTER 160They both went their separate ways. Jayden drove home happily and knew it was only a matter of time before Desmond and Helena were apprehended. He walked into the mansion and found Medeia seated on the couch. " Honey, I thought you should be asleep by now. Why are you still awake?" Jayden asked looking worried." How do you expect me to sleep when my husband is out there? I was worried." She replied Jayden smiled and walked closer to her " I am sorry for making you worry. I just need to go out and see Yohan. I am the only family he has got." " How is he? Has he gotten his memories back?" Medeia asked searching Jayden's face for an answer." Yes, but he can't be seen in the open for now."" Why?" Medeia asked with a curious face." Helena and Desmond want him dead and they won't stop still they have achieved their aim." Jayden sat down beside Medeia, a heavy sigh escaping his lips. "Yohan's in danger. He's discovered the truth about Desmond and Helena. They're not just a
CHAPTER 161Desmond's heart raced as he watched Spider's movements closely, the tension in the air palpable. Helena stood beside him, her expression unreadable, as they faced off against the unpredictable threat before them. Spider was ready to make do with every threat. He looked at them and they reeked of fear.Spider's laughter echoed through the warehouse, sending chills down everyone's spines. "You thought you could outsmart me? You're nothing but puppets in my game, dancing to my tune and you will follow my every command."Desmond gritted his teeth, his fists clenched tightly. "We had a deal, Spider. Don't push your luck too far. Why not take the money? We are ready to offer you a substantial amount for that matter. Just take the offer."Spider's grin widened, revealing his glistening golden teeth. "Oh, I'm just getting started, Desmond. You have no idea what I'm capable of. I need some cash but I also want a seat at the Gracehill table." Helena stepped forward, her voice dripp
CHAPTER 162Desmond was caught off guard. He looked at her, " Oh! I had a runny nose. I guess I have been overworking myself lately. I will be going to the hospital to have the doctor have a look at me." He said gently hugging his wife who had a bit of a worried look on her. " Where is Bella?" He asked, walking up the stairway. " I think she is out to do some shopping,." Allen replied." Okay." Allen was bothered and knew Desmond was lying to her but she needed to be sure she knew what was going on. She sat down and turned on the television. The news of Spider's death was said over the news and George being found dead too. Desmond walked back to the living room and saw Allen's gaze fixed on the television. " You seem to be taking in what you are looking at. Do you know these people?" he asked taking a seat beside his wife." No, I just felt there is more to this than meets the eyes," Allen replied. " These are just random people killed. I am sure there is nothing to be worried ab
CHAPTER 163Jayden's heart skipped a beat as he saw Helena's name flash on his phone screen. He exchanged a glance with Medeia, his mind racing with apprehension. With a deep breath, he answered the call, trying to maintain his composure."Hello, Helena. What can I do for you?" Jayden greeted her, his voice steady despite the fear within him."Jayden, darling, it's been a while since we last spoke. I hope you've been keeping well," Helena's smooth voice flowed through the phone, her tone oozing with charm.Jayden's grip on the phone tightened slightly as he responded, "Yes, I've been managing. What's on your mind, Helena? I know you are always up to something and what with the sweet names?"There was a pause on the other end of the line, and Jayden could almost feel Helena's calculating gaze through the phone. "I couldn't help but notice some interesting developments recently. Have you been in contact with anyone...unexpected?" Helena's words were laced with subtle threats, hinting at
CHAPTER 164She angrily cut off the line and looked at Jayden. " Breath baby. You need to calm yourself down. They are just playing mind games with us." [ Ah! ]Medeia shouted and took her hand between her two legs. " I think I am going into labor. My water just broke." Jayden's eyes widened in shock as Medeia's words sunk in. "Oh my God, Medeia! Are you serious?" He scrambled to his feet, his heart racing with a mix of excitement and panic.Medeia nodded, her face contorted with pain as another contraction gripped her. "Yes, Jayden. I think the baby is coming. We need to get to the hospital, now!"With adrenaline coursing through his veins, Jayden sprang into action, rushing to gather their belongings and help Medeia out of the house. Despite the chaos swirling around them, he remained focused on getting her to the hospital safely.As they raced through the streets, Jayden's mind raced with a whirlwind of emotions. He couldn't believe that the moment they had been waiting for was f
CHAPTER 165 Helena was seated in her room when Robert walked in on her. " I heard Jayden's wife just put to bed. I think we need to go and greet them" " And why would I do that?" She replied painting her fingernails." I don't understand what you mean. Isn't he a family not to talk of he is your blood. Why would you decide to miss out on this important occasion?" Robert asked, looking at her." I don't want to have anything to do with Jayden," Helena replied staring at Robert who was perplexed at what was going on." Really? Does that include leaving him with his rightful place at the Gracehill corporation? I won't be denied that I don't know what you have been up to lately but I have decided to sit back and watch." " What have I been up to? Are you saying that to my face right now? It is not like you care if anything happens to me. I am the rightful owner now and this belongs to me. I am just getting back what is mine from the on-set." " I have told you many times but it seems yo
