The sudden arrival of Meghan reinforces Andrew's suspicion. He had walked into a trap. But unknown to Meghan, Elizabethan had heard the conversation between Andrew and Mia. He knew of Andrew's whereabouts and must be on his way, along with several cops. "Your dog had entered the lion's den. I am assuring you that you will never leave here alive," Meghan let out. He placed one of his legs on Mia's bed and glared at Andrew. "I saw you, Jasmine and Isabella hidden at the back of the trees, and I had been praying for a means to separate you guys." "What did you want from me?" Meghan ignored Andrew's question. He turned towards Mia and asked in a voice that was filled with indignation, "Why is it difficult to seduce him? After telling you that I need his sex tape." "I am sorry, Meghan. I tried my best, but I suspect he knows what you are up to. He keeps pushing me away, and doesn't even cast a glance at my body," Mia answered back. "Will you give me what I want or I should tell one o
Time is fast when you are unconscious. To Andrew, it was some hours of sleep. But in reality, the loathsome son-in-law of the O'Connors had been in oblivion for a week.Waking up in a white-painted room made him disoriented for a while. 'Where am I?' He raised himself into a seating position and gawked at the patient's gown on his body. 'Either I'm in heaven or hospital. What the heck... I didn't remember falling sick.' His eyes darted around the empty room, and his nose caught the scent of medicines that filled the air. 'I'm in a hospital. What brought me here? I am not sick, am I?' The door to his ward jerked open, and a lady in a white frock stepped inside. And her face suddenly became cheerful at the sight of Andrew. "Thank God you have woken up," she mumbled as she walked towards him. Andrew peered at the beautiful young lady, and his memory seemed to be coming back as she walked closer. "Miranda, right?" "Yes, Andrew. You have slept so long that you forget the name o
In truth, the more the merrier. Three exotic cars drove into the O'Connor's villa, parked in front of Mary's section of the villa, and all the passengers hopped down from the cars. Neighbours gathered and peered through the hole in the large black gate, and their jaws remained open when they saw Andrew among the distinguished guests. "Is that not Andrew?" "Yes. I wonder why he is here." "Brian's assets will be shared today. That may be the reason for his coming." "But who are those richly dressed ladies beside him" "Shh... We will ask Madam Alice when they leave. Andrew had their gossiping but ignored them. He winked at his family, smiled and said, " Welcome to O'Connor's villa. "Why are they all gawking at us? I bet they have never seen this kind of entourage here before," Mirinda announced. "Ignored them and followed me," Andrew said. "They were surprised to see me amid well-dressed people. I guess they were used to seeing me in rags and with poor people." After climbin
The whole room burst into an uproar when Andrew announced that he was picking Brian's granddaughter as his share of Brian's estate. And it takes the interference from their family lawyer before the uproar dies down. "Andrea is my woman, and I suggest you take any other property that caught your fancy... He has some estate in and outside Arkansas City, some shares of multinational companies and also jewellery deposited into his safe. Pick any one of those assets and let us resolve everything today," Stevenson cried out. "You are not in the position to tell me what I should choose, Stevenson. Your job is to get the last statement of the deceased done as he instructed." "You are getting it wrong, Andrew. You are allowed to pick an asset and not a human being. Andrea is not a cattle or property to be traded," Mary mumbled. She turned toward her husband and asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?" "We need to be patient and settle it amicably, Timothy answered back. Isabella cleared
Since this is the first time Mirinda will be stepping into Arkansas City, Andrew decided to take them to beautiful places around the city, and their first destination was the city's national park. They had a breakfast picnic along the way and then went on a nature scavenger hunt on horseback. And they were as tired as worn-out shoes after some hours of horse riding. Mirinda yawned loudly and let out, "I am hungry, Andrew. I crave a heavy meal as lunch." "Miranda is right. I'm so exhausted that I can't lift my legs anymore. Let's go and eat lunch, and then relax for a while," Isabella said. "Our hotel is almost two hours from this place," Andrew said. "Maybe we should look for a comfortable inn around here." "Good idea. I can't wait any longer. I'm afraid that I may faint any moment from now." "Be strong, my dear little sister. It remains a few minutes to reach where our cars were parked." Isabella whirled towards Andrew and asked, how come you aren't complaining of hunger? Whe
As proved by those knowledgeable in that aspect, only money can make a man forget his pride. Jude was immediately on his knees, and he crouched towards Isabella and Miranda. "Hey... Come and see our manager on his knee. Did he want to propose to that lady in a pink gown?"," one among those who had earlier praised him cried out at the top of his voice. "Something is wrong with him," his colleague let out. "Let's go closer." Some men hurried close to Jude and they all circled him, while some tried to raise him from his kneeling position. "Stand up, boss. Why are you crawling on your knees?" "Let me be... Hey! Get your dirty hands off my body." "Why is he acting strange?" "I have no idea." Isabella and Miranda gaped at the man on his knees, and the mischief on Andrew's face made them understand what was going on. A few steps to reach where Isabella and Miranda were standing, a car suddenly parked beside Jude, and a lady hurried out of the driver's seat. She raced toward Jude,
The drive from the city park to The Presidential hotel takes two hours. And Andrew and his sisters arrived when the sun was already blazing in the sky. And because of the hot weather, Miranda announced that she would like to swim in the hotel swimming pool before eating her lunch. "I'm hungry, Andrew. Let Miranda go swimming, while we eat our lunch," Isabella announced, after yawning three consecutive times in one minute. "There are places to sit beside the pool as we order our lunch," Andrew mumbled. He raised his hand and pointed towards his right side, and then let out," There are canopies over there to serve as shade against the sun as well." "Good. Let's have lunch, relax, and then go swimming," Isabella muttered. The trio walked through the long lobby, stepped down some steps, and arrived at the swimming pool side. While Andrew and Isabella looked for a place to sit, Miranda walked towards the female restroom to change into a swimming suit that she brought along from Ora
Andrew leapt over the steps and hurried towards the emergency section of the infirmary. Despite the heavy weight of the unconscious woman in his arms, he scurried through the long lobby and arrived in front of a door with a sticker, 'intensive care unit.' "Hello. Who is on duty? My sister is unconscious," he screamed out, hurried toward a patient bed beside the wall and lowered the lifeless lady into it. "Where is the doctor?" "Here, I am the doctor," an old man in a white gown and extra large spectacles appeared at the doorway. He gawked at Andrew, and then at the lady on the bed. "What did you do to her?" "Someone slapped her twice on the cheek. And she had been unconscious since then," Andrew answered back. He sighed and dipped his hand inside his pocket to search for his handkerchief. He sighed again when he discovered he had lost it, and then used the helm of his suit to clean the ball of sweat on his face. "Stepped out of the room and let me attend to her... And make sure yo
