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
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
