Without much ado, Ava came out of her room and saw her father staring at the door after her grandparents had gone. " Daddy, are you okay?" She asked him but he didn't say anything. She was still a young girl and he was still internalizing everything. The main point was that he knew that they were lying but they had gotten the results from a very reputable hospital in the country.He dares call them the best. Three of the best hospitals had confirmed that he was not his father's son.Estelle was distraught too but she was busy with making sure that the company was in order, leaving things to Antonio was going to cause a disaster so he didn't want to involve her. She was even supposed to come that night but he told her not to bother."Daddy..." Ava's light voice called through the room and he turned. His daughter was a gem. She refused to leave when her mother came to take her away. He was very surprised but was pleased.His life was in shambles and he didn't know what to do at all. The
Emma bit her lip in contemplation but she was thinking about still telling him the truth because that could change the way things were going. She waited to see what would happen with the way Leonardo was behaving. there was a problem he had to sort first before thinking of the next ones that he could do with or without."Just tell me what is happening and I'll make sure that you don't have any problem. Is it at your work place? Tell me." Leonard demanded. She said that it was good news but she was not willing to let him know about it and that told him everything that he needed to know."Okay, I will tell you when I return. I just want you to be fine before i say a word." Leonard sighed, he had come to understand that she was a very lovely head but she was also very stubborn. It was one of the things that kept her from being destroyed by her Ex boyfriend. that memory always left a sour taste in his mouth. " Is there anything else you want me to do for you, babe?" "Nope, I'm getting s
Leonard was astounded by the words and at the same time, elated. He would never have imagined that Emma would get pregnant at least not this fast. He was very happy with everything that was going on and wanted to have the best of things to himself."I'm so happy that everything is falling into place. I can't even get annoyed anymore. Thanks for carrying my daughter." He said and she chuckled at him. "How do you know that it's a girl? I mean, you can't know these things can you?" She replied and he smiled at her."Tell me, what do you know about children and pregnancy? You are not a doctor." She chided him.He snorted and stared at her for a minute. He knew what he was saying and that was nothing but the truth. He was the reason she was here without a doubt at all. " I know that you are probably thinking about something else but we'll be fine." She assured him.Leonard needed no reassurance because he already had his plans mapped out and one of which was making sure that he got out of
Upon Leonard's arrival to his parents house, he met the front door locked, but funnily, the lights were on which took him by surprise. They never left the lights on whenever they were leaving the house because of the cost. It was even ingrained in visitors at least today but he didn't understand what was happening right there.He checked under the flower pot to know what was actually wrong with them. He needed to ransack the house and see if he would gather any evidence that would vindicate him. He would rather he went away at least for the first part of the year after getting the answers he desperately needed.As he slotted the keys into the door, it opened immediately which was also surprising, this never happened at least in history. His guts rejected being in that house but he was already outside the house. Obviously he would like to find the answer. There was nothing that would stop him again. It was the best that he could do for now. He kicked the door open and walked in, he w
A handcuff was already placed around Leonard's hands and he was being taken to the police station. Camera lights flashed before him and all before the next news hour, he was already on the tabloids and every media platform. It was a big mess and he was waiting for his lawyer.Estelle had rushed Emma to the hospital immediately after she heard her scream. This was terrible and he never expected that she would be losing the only child she had for her brother and right now that another issue had surfaced, she didn't know how to navigate this.Reaching into her pocket, she fished out her phone and dialed Dominic's number because that was the only person that she trusted to handle her case. " Oh, my goodness. I don't know what to do, babe. I'm lost. Just start coming. my brother can't go to jail." She told him in a frantic tone.Dominic had already heard the news and knew that the family was in a state of dilemma so he did what he should have done earlier. He immediately put a call through
“There is nothing that you can say that would make me release this little girl to you. You can't make me do that not in this life, not ever what sort of rubbish is that? I bet you already know what's up and the right thing that you should do yet you're still trying my patience. Now I don't have the time for all of this, kindly move away from me." Estelle fired at the lawyers.How dare they say that they wanted Ava in their custody. It was a total mess and she was already feeling very annoyed at the way things were going. "Now, tell me who do you want to become her mother?" She asked them. After the girl had learned to love Emma like hers they suddenly wanted to spring up this issue. " She can't live with Sophie if that's what you are asking for." She replied and they stared at her probably wondering why she was acting that way but it wasn't anything serious other than she doing what she should done from the beginning.Barrister Franco cleared his throat at the way she was speaking. H
Meanwhile, Leonard when in the cell was thinking about how he was going to get out of this mess that he found himself in. His major emotion was regret. He should have listened to his inner voice that told him to leave that place without hesitation. Heck his lovely wife had even called him but he still refused to listen. It was that bad and it pained him more than anything else in the world. She had told him that he needed to leave. Sometimes, overconfidence got the best of a lot of people and that was not the best of the rest people. "What are you doing?" A sergeant called him with venom in his tone, it was almost as if he could just destroy him with his gun.He leveled the man with a withering glare, refusing to be intimidated. He hadn't committed any crime so they were going to do all that they could buy his answer would still remain the same."Aren't you hearing me?" "I didn't hear you, what are you going to do about that?" He replied them angrily. "The sergeant stared at him w
Antonio grinned at his brother and Wales away but gave a signal to his ally in the prison who was going to make his brother's life a living hell. Leonard would face the wrath of being on his bad side. He didn't know what was coming for him. There were few people that had the audacity to go up against him and his brother's mistake was thinking that he was one of them when in reality, he wasn't.He grinned as soon as he got to the counter. "make sure that he regrets ever crossing me. I want to make sure that he loses his life no matter what happens." He said and passed a wad of cash through the top of the counter.The sergeant smiled at the dollar bills. He would use this to settle his house rent and finally have peace, no longer looking over his head. That man would regret his existence by the time he was done with him."You need not to worry about anything because I will make sure that you don't suffer a thing. Tell me what else you want to be done for you?" Mark asked Antonio grinne
