"What do you mean I'm not your son? If I'm not your son then... Who am I? And who are my parents?" Theodore asked.
"Your parents... Well your mom is still your mother but I'm not your father." Robert answered."You mean to tell me mom cheated on you?" Theodore asked."Yes, she did." Robert replied."How is that even possible?""She did alright, I ran a DNA test and you're not my son." Robert said a slight hurt passing though his eyes but he quickly concealed it."Well can you really blame her? You're a cocky bastard yourself so you deserve a taste of your own medicine." Theodore retorted."You watch your mouth.""Should I really? Was that why mom died? Did you kill her?" Theodore asked."I could never hurt your mother like it or not I loved her and she is mine.""Yours? You don't own her even if you were married to her. You had a son behind mom's back and you had lot's of mistresses out there. You even got married to Albert's mother shortly after mom passed." Theodore said angrily."You know when I was younger I used to look up to you but not when I found out you were living a double life. But still I worked so hard, so hard just so I would be a worthy heir and after everything I've done it turns out I wasn't really your son." Theodore added."Maybe that's even better at least I'd know I'm not related to a bastard like you. So tell how long have you known about this and why didn't you tell me?" Theodore asked."Three years, i found out shortly before your mother passed. And I didn't tell you because I had other plans in mind..." But Theodore cut him short understanding what he meant."So you just wanted to embarrass me. Do you really hate me that much?" Theodore asked angrily."You know you shouldn't come to someone else's work place and bark like a dog." Dalia his stepmother said walking towards the duo."Oh now I understand, this was your plan." Theodore uttered."I only helped stage the show, I asked Robert to tell you he was going to give you the company on your twenty fifth birthday but then he'll give his real heir... My son." Dalia said proudly."I always knew you were a bitch but I never thought you were this deceptive." Theodore smiled."Did I surprise you? Oh, I'm sorry." Dalia mocked.Theodore felt like an idiot to believe Robert was going to hand over the company to him when Dalia who runs the show was in his life."I'm not surprised at all I just couldn't believe I didn't figure it out earlier." Theodore retorted."How could you possibly? You think everyone in the world is just like you, nice, innocent, sweet looking, gullible. But believe me when I say there are wolves disguised as sheep." Dalia mocked."And you're the perfect example of that. No wonder you were able to poison my fath... I mean Robert's heart." Theodore said."Watch your mouth Theodore." Robert Brantley yelled."Of course you'd be on her side. How many times did you take mom's side huh? None.""I didn't need to take your mother's side." Robert said."Why? Cause it was an arranged marriage?" Theodore asked angrily."At the start, yes that was how it felt but...""No, you didn't love mom. You only saw her as a commodity, a property that was sold to you by her parents am I wrong? Tell me I'm wrong Robert?" Theodore asked.Robert was unable to answer his question."Of course I'm right, up until the end mom was nothing but that... A commodity.""You have no right to say that to him." Dalia yelled."Shut up you whore. I wasn't talking to you.""How dare you speak to her that way? Get out of my office." Robert said displeased."I wasn't planning on staying in the first place. Go to hell Mr and Mrs Brantley." Theodore said angrily leaving his father's office.Theodore angrily got into the car and drove towards his girlfriend's home. Nathalie Spencer was one of the most caring and most thoughtful soul he knows or so he thought.And she was the only person that could comfort him at this point. He took deep breaths as he got to her condo, he didn't want to overwhelm her with his looks so he tried to smile.He wouldn't be here if there was anyone else that could comfort him. He would have gone back home to Helen but he didn't want to bother her she's done so much for him already.Since he had her spare key he just used it Nathalie was used to his surprise visits.He could hear moans coming from Nathalie's room but he did not to take it to heart it might just be her friend Bridget who decided to bring a boy to her condo right?But he thought wrong it was indeed Nathalie but the guy on the bed with her surprised him even more."That was a really great show your father put on yesterday." Nathalie said."Of course, my mom and I orchestrated the entire plan. You should have seen his face, that cocky face he used to lord over me became scared for the first time and even confused." Albert said as he thrusts into her."Yeah, he looked quite surprised I bet he was hoping I'd comfort him yesterday. But I left as soon as he was humiliated by Mr Brantley." Nathalie said with a sweet voice."Am I better than he is?" Albert asked."Of course a lot better, handsome. And the new President of your father's empire.""So that's why you're cheating on me?" Theodore asked surprising both Nathalie and Albert."Theo... What? How.." Nathalie stammered. Albert immediately pulled out of Nathalie."I have spare key to your house remember?" Theodore asked trying really hard not to shed a tear in front of these two cowards.Albert was speechless he hadn't planned on letting Theodore find out about their relationship like this. He wanted it to be more elaborate.But he couldn't resist Nathalie's perfect body besides she was dressed in an overly sexy dress when he came to see her. And he couldn't resist so he decided to make it quick but it turns out Theodore caught them before he could leave."How long has this been going on?" Theodore asked."Come on babe you can tell him." Albert said to Nathalie. Making Theodore's anger soar.How dare he call her babe and in front of him too. Theodore felt like punching Albert's face but he decided to let Nathalie speak first. "Two and a half years." Nathalie answered honestly. And Theodore gasped, two and a half years? That was around same thing Robert said he found out about his identity. And that was also around the time he lost his mother was all these just a coincidence or was there something else to it. "Two and a half years? Nathalie you've been cheating on me for two and a half years? Why?" Theodore asked deeply hurt."You still don't get it do you?" Albert asked."I wasn't talking to you, you peasant!" Theodore yelled."How dare you call me that you little..." "Albert baby let me handle this." Nathalie said surprising Theodore even more. What was he still doing here anyway wouldn't Nathalie just insult him?"Listen Theo, you were foolish enough not to notice something has been going on for the past two years. You were even more silly when you didn't question
Leaving Theodore's room Helen brought out her phone and dialed a number."What is it?" "You need to some home, he needs you." Helen replied. "Is it that bad?" The lady on the other side asked."It is, he is crying." "What? Did anything else happen other than what the news is carrying?" The voice on the other side asked Helen."Yes, a lot and also a truth." Helen said."Great! Let's hear it. What is it?" She asked and Helen told her everything. "I'm on my way." She replied disconnecting the call. Dalia rushed into the hospital ward where Albert was. "Son are you okay?" Dalia asked."Oh my baby boy look at your face." She said examining him. "Does it hurt?" She asked."It hurts so much mom, he just came angrily at me. He attacked me." Albert finally said."Where were you?" Robert asked."I was at Nathalie's." Albert replied. "What where you doing there Albert?" Robert asked."Robert now's not the time to be questioning Albert." Dalia said displeased."What do you mean? I'm tryin
Everyone turned to the direction of the door they were all surprised to see who it was except Helen. "No one is leaving this house." Karina Brantley said boldly making Dalia glare at the younger woman. "Karina you have no say in this stay out of it." Robert said. "Oh really father? I have no say in this?" Karina asked."Yes, you don't." Robert replied. "So you want to give Albert all that Theodore had been working so hard for?" Karina asked. "Did this bitch put you up to this?" Karina asked referring to Dalia. "How dare you call me a..." "Oh please hold your horses Dalia I wasn't talking to you." Karina glared."No she didn't, there's something I didn't tell you. Theodore is not my son. Your mother had an affair..." Robert tried explaining but Karina cut him. "Can you really blame her? You had an affair too. Else Albert wouldn't be standing here either. Oh and all the other mistresses asides Dalia." Karina reminded. "So if Theodore is not your son, that makes me the only lega
Theodore knew Ivan had a point without him in the company he was sure they would kick Ivan out since he was his friend. And he was the one who gave Ivan the job. Ivan wouldn't actually have been friends with Theodore, he was from a poor background. They only met a few years back and unlike most rich snubs Theodore decided to make him his friend cause he liked him. And when he found out Ivan needed a job he decided to give him one at the company he believes Ivan was brilliant and he knew a talent like his was hard to come by. Ivan was also one of the reasons for Theodore's success at the company but now it would seem all their hard work was for nothing."You have a point." Theodore replied."Whatever it is you wish to do I wouldn't stop you." Theodore said. "Well I'll be tending my resignation next Monday." "Okay, well buddy I'm going out. I'll see you later." Theodore said. Theodore met up with Karina. "Morning." Theodore greeted."Morning brother." Karina said pecking him and h
Theodore couldn't understand why he was being stared at by most of the workers some where looking at him and even sneering. He knew his father didn't give the company to him but that doesn't mean he should be treated like dirt right? Karina dialed Theodore's number she was sure he didn't know about what was happening. Theodore walked out of the company when he heard his phone ring. "Rina what's wrong? I told you i was looking for a job today..." "I don't think you'll get one." Karina replied."Why?" Theodore asked surprised."There's a derogatory post about you." Karina replied. Theodore could feel his head spin he has been thinking he wasn't getting a job for some other reason but that was because someone ruined his reputation he decided to check his phone and see what was really on the posts.Theodore's identity as an illegitimate child was revealed. Robert Brantley had only announced Albert his heir but no one knew why. The post went on to call his mother a promiscuous woman
Karina was sobbing profusely she had tried calling Theodore but he wasn't answering making her more worried. No matter how angry he was he would still answer her call to tell her he was okay. But now he wasn't answering. "You still can't get a hold of him?" Helen asked."Yes, nanny I'm worried." Karina said she was still mad at Robert for saying all those things about her mom but she needed to be sure Theodore was okay. "Who are you people?" Theodore asked alarmed he wasn't just going to follow anyone he sees he might be depressed but he was still sane. "Someone wants to speak with you." One of the men replied. "And may I know who this someone is?" Theodore asked and they hesitated they were asked not to say a word about who their boss is. "Our boss wants to speak with you." One of them replied."What does your boss want from me?" Theodore asked."We don't know sir, all we know is we were asked to bring you to him. He said he just wants to talk." Leo the leader replied."Excuse
Theodore was still trying to digest everything someone had always wanted to hurt his mom since before he was born? Charles was drugged when he was in a business meeting and Argon Smith wanted nothing more than for him to be Charles' father in-law. He had specifically asked Charles to meet him in a hotel. He wanted to take Charles to one of the rooms making it look like he raped his daughter, thereby forcing him to marry her. Charles after taking a sip from the drink immediately figured the hidden agenda and he quickly excused himself Oliver saved him that day. He asked him to take him to the club. He didn't want his parents to know about it and he wanted to handle it discreetly. But then Kendra showed up, it would appear she got into the wrong room and Charles liking the woman in front of him gave into his desires. "How did she end up in your room?" Theodore asked. "She was so drunk that she didn't know what she was doing although there's something I still haven't figured out. T
Theodore drove straight to Nathalie's home. She was about to go out with Bridget. "Theodore what are you doing here?" Nathalie asked."I can't believe it Nathalie I can't believe you were the one who made that post go viral." "I..." Nathalie stammered."What cat got your tongue? Even if you hated me so much you shouldn't have involved my mom into it and now Nathalie I swear you will pay for this." Theodore said. "And who are you to threaten her you low life?" Bridget asked. "Stay out of it Bridget or you would be included in my revenge list and as a friendly reminder I don't go easy on my enemies." Theodore said and Bridget shuddered. Nathalie was scared to the bone she had never seen Theodore look this murderous. Even when he angrily punched Albert he didn't look like this his current look was terrifying. "It was Albert who posted it I swear. I had nothing to do with it." Nathalie explained."Oh I know... Which is why you and him would pay greatly for this. Sit back and watch t
