2024-04-18 05:49:01Stiles stared at the pictures on the tablet that Jonathan Jacobs just handed him.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"Those pictures were taken 24 years ago, the night you were born and the lady carrying you to that orphanage, do you happen to know her?"
Jonathan Jacobs asked, his eyebrows furrowed in curiosity.
Stiles was dumbfounded, he was still in shock from the whole thing.
"How did you get this picture?"
Stiles asked with his gaze still fixed on the tablet.
His thoughts raced as he remembered the picture under his bed, it was the same picture, but this time around in black and white.
"Well, like I said, your dad and I have been on this case for quite some time and just this morning he forwarded this file to me."
"So I thought it wise to let you see the pictures, maybe you might have seen her before or something."
Jonathan Jacobs said as he sipped his plain hot steaming coffee.
"Sometimes isn't right Jonathan Jacobs, I have this same picture under my bed, only not the same colour."
Stiles' voice was barely above whispers as he stared askance at Jonathan Jacobs, who had a dropped jaw as his coffee dripped from his mouth back into his coffee mug.
"I don't understand what you are talking about."
"What do you mean that you have these same pictures under your bed?"
"These are classified information obtained from a top intel."
Jonathan Jacobs said as he kept his coffee mug on the table making a rather silent thump.
"I'm serious Jonathan Jacobs."
"I think that lady was the nurse that had delivered me that night."
"That explains how she got access to the secure facility that night."
Jonathan Jacobs said as he gazed at the pictures one more time, then another glance followed.
"Well since we have identified her as the nurse who helped in your delivery and she is also the one that took you to the orphanage… I think we might be up to a good start here."
Jonathan Jacobs said as he stared at Stiles who was still kind of perplexed by the whole coincidence.
"Something fishy is going on here and I really don't like it."
"Why would the nurse who helped my mom deliver me be the one who took me to the orphanage?"
Stiles asked, his voice was laced with a mixture of anger and frustration.
"I know it's just weird."
"And how did you come about the pictures under your bed?"
"The pictures were given to me by the matron of the orphanage the day I was adopted by the Thomas's."
Stiles said, his voice barely above whispers as he slowly kept the pictures on the table and poured himself a hot glass of coffee.
"And the matron… if we can find her she can tell us who brought this file to her and why."
Jonathan Jacobs immediately suggested, his gaze was on the pictures on the table.
"That's a good idea but I really don't remember who the matron is any more."
"Even if I could, most times they kind of keep information like this hidden from outsiders."
Stiles said as he plopped into the brown sofa behind him.
"You are no outsider, watch this."
Jonathan Jacobs immediately took his phone and called the orphanage where Stiles was adopted from.
"Stiles we are the Hendersons of which you are the only living heir and thus the most influential person on the continent.”
"We can get anything we want, anything we want."
Jonathan Jacobs said as the phone continued ringing without any response.
"That's weird, anyways let's find another way to identify this lady."
"If she is a nurse at the hospital where you were delivered, I think we should start our search from there."
Jonathan Jacobs suggested as he kept redialing the number of the orphanage but all to no avail.
"Yes it would have been a great idea to track the nurse to the hospital but that would only alert her to hide even more."
"Especially if we go about carrying her picture around and asking her colleagues if they know who she is."
Stiles immediately added intelligently as he plopped out of the sofa.
Jonathan Jacobs Immediately stared at him and smiled gleefully admiring his intelligence.
"You know what Stiles, you have your father's smart brain."
"So what do you suggest we do?"
Jonathan Jacobs asked as he plopped into his seat.
"There are a lot of ways to identify her, I think we should run a facial recognition search on her photo."
"But that wouldn't be possible since none of us have access to the International facial recognition datalog."
Stiles said, his face etched with confusion and disappointment.
Now turning around his gaze fell on Jonathan Jacobs who pressed a secret button under his luxury mahogany table, the tabletop opened revealing a military-grade sophisticated laptop.
"Can I have those pictures?"
Jonathan Jacobs asked, his hands were already busy logging him into the international facial recognition database.
Passing the file over to Jonathan Jacobs, Stiles had his mouth agape.
"What else is hidden under this table or that weirdly labelled cupboard that says…Project X?"
Stiles asked, his eyes fixed on Jonathan Jacobs.
"That will be a discussion for another day, right now I need you to place your palm on this scanner."
Jonathan Jacobs said, his gaze still fixed on his laptop screen.
"Why?!"
Stiles asked almost immediately, his voice was laced with a mixture of curiosity and trepidation.
Looking up at him, Jonathan Jacobs immediately replied, "I meet your biometric print to bypass the security of the international facial recognition database."
The words of Jonathan Jacobs came as an unbelievable shock to Stiles.
"Wait a m…inute."
"Can my biometric print bypass the international facial recognition database security?"
He asked, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"We are about to find out."
"There is a lot you don't know about yourself, young master."
As Jonathan Jacobs spoke,
he immediately placed Stile's hand on the scanner and the screen read, "Welcome Lord Henderson, it's been a long time."
"What the hell…"

Stiles was still in shock as he stared at the pictures in his hand wondering how this lady was truly involved in her mom's death.The situation was intense as Jonathan Jacobs pondered on the next possible move."I actually anticipated this coming, but not on this scale and level."Jonathan Jacobs said as paced around, pulling out his phone he immediately placed a call to a secured line.The incessant unanswered ringing of the phone only added more tension to the current situation."Who are you calling?"Stiles asked as he threw the pictures onto the table which made a loud thump."It's Jack the IT guy back at your dad's mansion."Jonathan Jacobs said as he had the phone etched to his ear expecting a response."Wait my dad has an IT guy?"

He spoke in a relieving manner.“Where are you coming from by this hour if the time?”.She asked her voice barely above whispers.“I went on a serious occasion with my friend, yes that my friend you saw me with”. He spoke as he turned to go up to his room.“My mum asked about your whereabouts”.Stiles stopped half way up the stairs and walked down.“She did?”.“Yes she did,but don't worry I told her I sent you to get some luxury clothes for me at the Oxford mall”.“You did?”.

He barely registered Miss Laura's presence as he shoved past her, heading straight for the garage door. The cold metal felt like a barricade to the truth, and he needed answers,now.His heart hammered in his chest, every step more frantic than the last. He reached the door, and before he could push it open, Mr Jonathan caught up to him, grabbing his arm."Stiles, slow down. We need to think this through." His voice was calm, controlled, but the anxiety in his eyes betrayed him."I can’t.I have to find my father.”Stiles replied, his voice tight with urgency.The door creaked as Stiles swung it open, his breath catching in his throat. The garage was dark, the air stale with the scent of oil and dust. His eyes scanned the room, but it was empty, save for a few parked cars and scattered tools. No sign of his father."Where is he?.”Stiles muttered to himself, stepping further into the room, his hand grazing the cold metal of a car door."Stiles, we don’t even know if he’s in here,this i

“You’re the one who did this?You set me up, Sophia? You know how much I care about Raya, and you…”Stiles’ voice broke through the silence, the accusation sharp and raw.His words faltered for a second as if the betrayal was too much for him to fully articulate, but the anger in his voice made it clear how deeply this hurt him.Sophia’s gaze flickered, a flicker of something unreadable crossing her face before she masked it with a thin, victorious smile. “I did what I had to do, Stiles. You wouldn’t have learned your lesson any other way. She deserves better than someone like you.”“What, Sophia I can't believe you are being all this shit.”Raya spoke as she gazed at her scornfully.“Cousin, I did it for the betterment of your future.”Sophia spoke as she grabbed Raya's hand.“My BETTERMENT, or do you mean the betterment of the THOMAS’S FAMILY, yes Sophia, I know about everything you guys have been doing, you guys have been trying to take me out from the exclusive contract that was g

Raya finally turned her head, meeting his gaze. Her eyes were hollow, distant, like she was looking through him rather than at him. “Explain? What is there to explain, Stiles? You don’t get to just walk in here like everything’s fine. Not after what you did.”Stiles’s heart clenched at the weight in her voice. She was breaking, but the walls around her were solid as ever.“I didn’t…” His voice faltered. He didn’t know how to make her see. How to make her believe him when every word she’d heard painted him as the villain.“I didn’t mean for it to happen. I never wanted to hurt you, Raya. I swear, I…”“Enough,I don’t want to hear it. You made your choices. You made your bed. Now lie in it.”Raya cut him off, her voice quiet but firm.Her words were like a slap, and they stung worse than anything she could have thrown at him. His chest tightened as if all the air had been sucked from the world, leaving him with nothing but his own failures.The silence that followed felt heavier than b

Mrs Lisa’s gaze softened slightly, but her voice was sharp. “You’re not telling us everything. What did you do, Sophia?.”Sophia’s eyes narrowed. “I told her. Everything. About Stiles kissing a random girl in a restaurant I even sent her a picture of the both of them. She’ll never trust him again. And once that trust is gone, everything falls apart.”Mrs Lisa Thomas face was marked with a smile as she turned and gazed at Mr Thomas, whose face was also marked with a smile.“No wonder why she has not come out of her room since today.”Mrs Lisa spoke.“ I should go and check up on her, you know, for family reasons.”Sophia spoke as she stood up from the couch and walked towards the stairs.“Sophia!”Mr Thomas called out her name.“Yes, uncle.”She replied as she stood halfway up the stairs.“Tell her to get ready for the Henderson Global Conglomerate company Anniversary, which should start in a few minutes, he said he his going to introduce his long lost son to all Oxford valley.”Mr J

Stiles felt his heart skip a beat. The weight of his father's words settled over him like a lead blanket. He stood frozen, the gravity of the moment pulling him in every direction."I…”He tried to speak, but the words got caught in his throat. His mind raced, desperately trying to piece together what this meant, what it could mean for his future, and what kind of mess he was already tangled in.His father’s holographic form was crisp and clear, but Stiles couldn’t shake the feeling that it was all too surreal. His gaze flickered between his father and Mr. Jonathan, then finally landed on the princess, whose smile hadn't faltered for even a moment.“You want to announce it tomorrow?”“In front of everyone?” Stiles repeated, his voice rough. Mr Henderson, in his perfectly tailored suit, stood tall with an air of finality about him. He took another sip from his glass, watching his son with a calmness that only deepened the unease in Stiles’s chest.“Yes. It’s time.” His father replie

Mr Jonathan didn’t answer right away, his presence solid beside him, as though giving Stiles space to come to terms with the question himself. “You won’t know until you try.”Mr Jonathan finally spoke.The words hung in the air between them, heavy with meaning. Stiles sat there for a long moment, staring at the dim city lights flickering in the distance, the sounds of the night city surrounding him. He knew Mr. Jonathan was right. But it didn’t make the reality of the situation any easier.He wanted to fix it. He wanted to undo the betrayal. But in the end, only Raya could decide if that was even possible.Stiles ran a hand through his hair, his shoulders sagging as he stared at the ground. "I don't know how I can look her in the eye again.”He whispered, his voice breaking with the weight of his words.“You will. You’ll find the courage. Because that’s what you do when you love someone. You face the music, no matter how ugly it is.”Mr Jonathan spoke, as he took a glance at Stiles

"Why did you even go on that date? Why didn’t you tell me? You could have been honest with me, Stiles. I would have understood. But now… Now everything feels like a lie.”Stiles throat felt tight, and he swallowed hard, he then turned and gazed Mr Jonathan, who was staring worriedly at him."I didn't know how to tell you. I thought it was harmless at first, just a casual dinner, but I should have told you. I should have been honest from the start. I was scared,scared that you’d leave me if you knew how much I’d messed up. But I see now that lying was the worst thing I could have done.”The silence on the other end was suffocating. Stiles waited, his pulse racing, unable to guess what was going on in her mind. He could hear her breathing softly, as if weighing his words, as if trying to decide whether she could believe him, whether she could ever trust him again.Finally, she spoke again, her voice softer now but filled with sorrow. "I need time, Stiles. I need time to think. I don’t
