"Janelle, I promise we'll talk about everything when I get back." Theodore said. "But why do I feel that's not true? Why do I feel that you're not going to come back to me?" Janelle said. "I'll come back to you I promise." Theodore said. "Janelle am sorry I haven't talked about the kiss. I was just..." Theodore sighed."Sir.." Leo called out. "What is it Leo?" Theodore asked. Leo walked towards his desk and whispered something into his ears."Janelle, just go home I promise I'll see you tomorrow." Theodore said calmly. "Theodore wait." Janelle called out but he was already walked out the door. Janelle stood there transfixed wondering what Theodore was up to. Theodore arrived at the building Zoe wanted them to meet. "Hello." He called out."Hello, is anyone here?" He asked. "Well hello." Zoe said from behind him walking towards him with a couple of guards and the man that was kidnapped his hands tied up tightly. "Wow, you." Zoe smiled taking off her mask. "I knew you were t
Two Weeks Later It was Kendra's memorial. Theodore was very sad but he didn't want to show it. He went to the office like everything was okay and he went on with his work. He was a bit pissed and he yelled at anyone who wasn't doing their job right. Well he had always been encouraging but today just seemed like a bad day."Sir, are you okay?" Janelle asked."Yes, am fine. Just leave me." Theodore said and Janelle nodded. Robert was in his office when someone walked in. "What do you want?" Robert asked. "Listen Robert, what's happening with the company isn't a joke. Am hearing whispers from the others. They're planning on selling their shares." Daniel Robert's friend said. "So now they want to leave just like that?" Robert asked. "Can you blame them? This is serious my dear friend. The stocks show no hope of getting back to where it was and it keeps decreasing day and night. At this rate we would even go bankrupt. And our debts wouldn't be payable." Daniel said pouring out his
Charles was surprised to see Dalia, they were both so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't know when Robert left."Well let's hear what she has to say." Charles said staring intently towards where Dalia was. Deep down he felt like killing her and burying her beside Kendra's fake grave. "Well hello Kendra, I know you love roses these for you." She said placing a bouquet of flowers beside Kendra's grave. "Am guessing that's mockery right?" Kendra asked. "Oh look at you Kendra, someone so beautiful so pretty rotting away. What? Are you going to say you're in heaven and you're watching down? Well if you are... I hate you." Dalia said. "I hate you so much. Even in your death your ghost still haunts me." Dalia said angrily. "Well let's see how you hate seeing me in front of you." Kendra said about to open the door. "Kendra what are you doing?" Charles asked stopping her."Showing myself." Kendra replied. "Are you mad? Kendra listen you can't just show up in front of the
Charles didn't want to lie to Theodore anymore. "There's someone I want you to meet." Charles said. "Who? The girl I wanted to ask questions?" Theodore asked. "No, not her. This is someone else. Get changed we're leaving right now." Charles said."But...""You wanted to know don't you? Well if you're curious come with me." Charles said and Theodore followed him. The duo arrived at the manor and Theodore looked around. "Where are we?" Theodore asked. "This is one of my private properties. Come on in." Charles said walking on ahead of Theodore and he followed him. Theodore saw a woman with her back to them and wondered who the secret woman Charles was having an affair with was. The woman turned slowly to face them and Theodore couldn't believe his eyes. "Mom." He called out softly surprised with mixed emotions. He stood rooted to a spot like he was in some dream. "Hello Theodore." Kendra smiled. Theodore rushed towards her and hugged her tightly. He didn't care if it was a d
"Come on don't be, I got a lot of money. So let's order." Derrick said taking his seat. "Sure." Karina replied going through the menu. "You look stunning." Derrick said and Karina chuckled."Thank you, but I must give the credit to Mary and Chloe they forced me into dressing up and I believe it's a bit too much." Karina said. "No, you... You look perfect." Derrick said."Thank you." Karina replied with a bright smile. "You're welcome." Derrick smiled. The duo began eating their dinner. "Wow everything tastes..." Karina said taking another bite without finishing her words."I know right? Oh if there's anything you don't like you can always send it back.""Are you kidding? Everything tastes so good. If I were a foodie I probably won't go home until I've tried everything in the menu." Karina said and Derrick laughed."Let's order desert and let's talk about those designs of yours." Derrick reminded. "Right." Karina nodded. She sat beside him and he began showing him her designs.
Harry sighed when he saw tears streaming down Albert's eyes. "But isn't that what you always wanted? For both your parents to be legally married?" Harry asked."I regret that wish okay. And I hate the fact that it even came to pass." Albert added wiping his tears. "That bastard, he is still cheating on my mom." Albert said coldly."I know it's bad, what your dad's doing but...""Don't even try to justify his actions. You know what? Am going home." Albert said getting up. "You're in no condition to drive and you didn't even come with a guard or driver." Harry said. "I can manage." Albert replied."And what kind of friend would I be if I let you go to your death. If you want a place to sleep. I'll ask the manager to give you a key. You can rest there." Harry said. "No, I want to go home." Albert insisted. "You're drunk.""Am not drunk am fine." Albert said."Yeah right. Security." Harry called out. "Sir, is something wrong?""No, just take him to a room upstairs." Harry instructe
It was a beautiful evening the sun had set in the most delightful way possible. Or it might just be someone's exaggeration there was nothing special about that day it was just another day. Theodore Brantley was in his room changing his clothes for the party. Tonight would be the best day of his life. After working for his father's company for so many years his father had finally decided to hand over the company to him. And since it was his twenty-fifth birthday he felt it was even more appropriate. He smiled brightly in front of the mirror. "Hey birthday boy." "Nanny Helen." Theodore smiled seeing the older woman. "Look at you? It feels like it was just yesterday your mom gave birth to you." Nanny Helen teased."Come on nanny Helen, I'm not a kid anymore. So how do I look?" Theodore asked. "Like the most handsome man in the world." Nanny Helen replied. "Come on nanny." "I'm serious." Helen said seriously. "Alright, this is it." Theodore said looking at himself one last time.
"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 angri
