The Bastard Son's Inheritance Chapter 6
The Arrest "Oh no! Why is this patient in here?" demanded doctor Philip as he recognised Brian. Lucia frowned and averted her gaze from the doctor. Helen looked like she might pee on herself too. "It's an awkward situation doctor Philip," began Helen, "but I assure you there's a good enough explanation." Apprehension was written all over her face. "Liar!" Lucia shot at her. "Why not tell the doctor the actual truth?" "Mmph,” Brian groaned out loud. It was all he could do to deflect the attention from nurse Helen even though he was beyond embarrassed himself. Doctor Philip who was about to probe Lucia for more explanation changed his mind and instead ordered, "Help the patient at once, you can explain yourselves later." He started moving towards Brian followed by nurse Helen. However, nurse Lucia remained rooted to the spot, irritation written all over her face. Brian had never felt so humiliated like he was at that moment. He kept his face down wishing the floor should open an

The Torture"Is this not the same criminal we were called upon for his arrest yesterday?" one of the officers said casually to his other two colleagues as they drove.Brian was kept at the back of the van with one policeman to guide him. Not that he could escape even if he was left alone. His hands were bound behind his back like a common criminal. "Please officers, I can assure you, I'm not a criminal," Brian stuttered in his defence. "it's a simple misunderstanding. Please allow me to explain myself..."Whack! The sound of a heavy slap reverberated in Brian's left ear causing the words to cease from his mouth. His ear began burning like someone had poured acid on him. It was made worse by the headache returning in that instant. He had not yet taken his pain relief medication that morning. Brian blinked hard to clear his vision, wishing his hands were freed to hold his head as he felt a tingling sensation around his injury site. "You dare to cross Miss Charlie? Do you not know h
The Bastard Son's Inheritance Chapter 1
Beaten UpIt was a busy Friday morning at The Presidential Villa Hotel; the only seven-star hotel in Auckville, where Brian Macpherson works as a security guard. He had been standing since he got to work, opening and closing the massive wrought-iron gate for arriving guests. And though he was not officially informed, he suspected there was a grand event being hosted in the luxurious hotel by some big guns in the city. The fleet of expensive and flashy cars trooping into the lush green parking lot was an indication to that end. After letting in the latest guest driving in a black Lamborghini Aventador, 2023 model and closely followed by an ash-coloured BMW X7, he yawned and sat down. He had barely done so when he heard his name. "Brian Macpherson! Get your lazy backside over here!" It was the manager of the hotel, Miss Freya Charlie. She stood arms akimbo on the front steps leading to the reception hall in her knee-length designer navy blue dress that accentuated her curves. Her g

At the HospitalBrian remained on the ground panting in agony and exhaustion. But even more agonising was the sound of Aleya's high-heeled sandals against the marble floor as she climbed the front steps into the hotel. The thought of what his girlfriend was about to do with another man hurt his pride more than the shame of being openly assaulted. As he lay there, he recollected their 10-month relationship. Aleya never allowed him to touch her even once. She always gave the excuse of waiting for a special occasion like on her birthday - which was eleven months away from the day that Brian and Aleya met. Then when he persisted, she promised to let him make love to her on the day she'd mark the first anniversary of her company - City Fashion and Decor. Incidentally, the anniversary was coming up in a week's time which Brian was really looking forward to. As a mark of his undying love for Aleya, Brian had made a special arrangement to surprise her by announcing their engagement durin

HomelessBrian's heart began to thump violently like a legion of soldiers were on parade. He nervously pressed down the receiver button. "Mr Macpherson!” the angry voice of his landlord boomed over the speaker almost instantly. Brian knew that tone, it meant trouble. “Good evening, Mr Howard,” he said, trying to sound confident. “I just found out…” “It's a good thing you've finally answered your phone,” the man carried on sarcastically, not letting Brian explain himself. “The tow truck is just pulling out of your apartment this minute. Do not bother returning home because all your worthless properties have been moved out and the locks changed." "Oh no! Please sir, don't do this to me. I'm just leaving the hosp..." "I warned you that the deadline for remittance was today at noon,” he fired on without listening to Brian's pleas, “and this is already evening. If you're seen anywhere near my apartment building, I'm calling the police to arrest you for breaking and entering. “Nonsens

Unexpected Fortune Brian's blood pressure shot up after seeing Aleya's photo upload and reading her humiliating chat which caused his injury site to begin bleeding. A lady nurse leaning against the reception counter noticed his bloodied gauze and hastily walked up to him. "How may I help you, sir?" she said. Brian shook his head, not knowing where to start. The tears that had gathered in his eyes found their way down his cheeks. "This is a hospital and we're here to help those in need of medical care," the nurse prodded him. Brian heaved, dabbed his eyes and narrated his ordeal. The nurse listened patiently, not interrupting him until he was finished. Afterwards she said, "Give me a few seconds, I want to check our records." She walked back to the counter and imputed Brian's details into one of the computers. Staring at the screen awhile, she finally nodded. Apparently satisfied that he was telling the truth. Then she marched back to where Brian was seated. "I will help you,

Caught Brian's gaze focused on the face, it didn't seem familiar. He sat up instantly and greeted her. "Good morning, ma'am." It was the A&E nurse from yesterday morning when Brian was first rushed to the hospital unconsious. "You? What are you doing here?" she demanded, ignoring Brian's greeting and pointing her pinkie finger to the floor, indicating she meant that particular room. Brian stared at her, his mind suddenly going blank. During the drive back to the hospital, his intention was to find his doctor and explain what had happened and then plead for a readmission at least for that night. But Aleya's devastating WhatsApp message got in the way, causing him to nearly suffer another medical emergency. Thankfully, the kind nurse at the reception came to his rescue. The lady's cold piercing eyes unnerved Brian. In that instant, he had a flashback to what the nurse had muttered under her breath: "I'm taking a lot of risk doing this." His forehead furrowed as he thought of a g
