Maxwell and Riya walked into the house and she immediately led him to the living room to have a seat.She went into the kitchen and came out with a glass of water for him."I'm sorry that I kept you stranded in such bustling city. I was working late again today and my phone was not in my reach." She said as she sat beside Maxwell after offering him the glass of water.Maxwell drank the whole content of the glass and returned the glass to her " Thank you, Tayla"He said for the drink.As she collected the glass from him, he held her hand too and said." You don't have to be sorry either, I do not mind at all" He said staring into her eyes.Their hands were still holding each other when Mrs Bernard showed up in the living room without warning.Riya was startled when she saw her boss standing some steps away from them with a smile on her face.She slowly pulled her hands away from him and said in a whisper to Maxwell who had not seen Mrs Bernard Yet.He sat on the couch while Riya stood be
Maxwell and Riya were surprised to hear that coming from the elderly man."Sir, I do not understand" Maxwell said moving his gaze from Mr Bernard to his wife and then to him again.His wife sat on the couch in silence and she fixed her gaze completely on him."Yes, I know this might be complicated and hard to comprehend but then, they way you look now, is exactly the way I looked when I was younger and my wife is emotionally down right now because of an issue" He replied in a low voice.He had the habit of glancing at his wife while he spoke and even though Maxwell saw it to be something romantic, he still wished that they could just go straight to the point and make him stop feeling at edge."What issue, Sir?" He asked in a low voice Mr Bernard look became rather dull as he began to narrate the secret of he and his wife that they had held for years. "I married my wife at a very young age and we were both very expectant of kids to call our own. However, it happened that in ten year
Maxwell stood surprised while Riya was a little startled by the way the old woman leap in joy.The both stood in dilemma staring at the old couple as obvious joy beamed on their faces."Who is Michael?" Maxwell asked in a low voice after the rejoicing had reduced.Mr and Mrs Bernard both stared at him and said in unison "Our son".Riya glanced at Maxwell and they both met each other's gaze. The puzzled look they both wore made it evident that neither of them yet understood what was going on."Ma'am, if Michael is your son, why were you calling him Micheal?" She asked pointing at Maxwell.Maxwell nodded his head in agreement to her question.They both sat on the couch opposite Mr and Mrs Bernard as they listened to the most shocking revelation of their lives." What do you mean?" Maxwell asked in surprised tone as Mr Bernard referred to him as his long lost son."The mark was exactly the same one on our son and your presence here tonight is a proof that our son is alive" Mr Bernard sai
Maxwell woke up very early the next morning and was about to get out of the bed when Riya who was sleeping beside him woke up too."Good morning, Sunshine" He said to her planting a kiss on her forehead.Rita blinked her eyes and said in a low voice "The sun is not shining yet. Do you plan to leave so early?" She asked in her calm voice. Maxwell nodded his head and said "Yes.. I spoke to Harrison and he had to cover up for me to leave and return on time." You will not find a bus leaving for Sacramento so early so I'll advice you wait a little longer "She said holding him in a loose hug. Maxwell stared at her face for a while before saying " I have to leave now before Wilson returns to the mansion" He said in a low voice. "That's okay, how's Amelia feeling?"She asked with concern. " She was asleep when I left her last night and I think you might be right with what you said about her" Maxwell said in a low voice. "What do you mean?" Riya asked sitting up on the bed. "That she mig
The sun light from the window shined brightly into Kelly's eyes as she slowly tried to open it.She turned her face away sharply and after a few seconds, she looked and realized that it was Carson standing behind the window."It was you who did that" She exclaimed as she rubbed her hand on her eyes."A beautiful way to say good morning, sunshine" He replied with a broad smile on his face.Kelly reciprocated the smile and sat up on the bed.He walked over to her and kissed her chin before falling beside her on the bed."What are you going to do today?" He asked her in a low voice.Kelly wanted to reply, then she remembered the conversation they had the previous night and immediately frowned her face."What's wrong?" Carson asked immediately he noticed the sudden change of expression on her face."Nothing, leave me alone" She said moving away from him on the bedCarson was surprised at her sudden mood swing. He could swear that he had not offended her in anyway."Kelly what is going on?
Maxwell was surprised at the doctor's question. He noticed the way the doctor also stared at him and for the first five seconds he was mute."You are her husband, ain't you?" The doctor asked in a low voice.Maxwell could see the threat in the way the doctor spoke to him. He could also remember the number of times they had been at the hospital. Amelia was always not pleased with having a male doctor attend to her but it was an emergency and he could not sight the presence of any female doctor around the hospital either. He tightened his gaze and narrowed his eyebrow as he stared at the doctor sparking concern with his look. "Are you aware that Amelia hates to be treated by a male doctor?" He asked instead totally ignoring the doctors question. The doctor moved uncomfortably on his sit and raised an eyebrow staring back at him. Maxwell chuckled and said "Oh, I'm sorry. You just seem to know so much about her. Beside, I just got to know about this drug thing now" He said. The docto
Kelly was shocked when she saw her foster mother, Kate Harry approaching the dinning table.She stood shivering as Kate got even closer. Her whole body shook and Carson could not understand why she was so frightened.Just the previous night, she had told him that she did not recall knowing a person by the same name which he observed made her uncomfortable.Now here they were at the dinning and that name is what she mutters as she stared at the lady who James had been keeping away from the world where she seemed to have a lot of enemies."Kelly is everything alright?" He asked standing up too as he held her hand in his and asked in a low voice.James stared at Kelly with wide eyes and Kate who did not even know she was the one being called out by Kelly just walked over to a seat on the dinning.She didn't glance at Kelly and that shocked Kelly to the bone. She was going to ignore her too but it was something she could not do because without a doubt, she knew that person who she was see
Carson was feeling restless as he stared at Kelly with surprise on his face.He had never doubted anything she told him since the first day he met her and from the look on her face at the moment, he knew that whatever she wanted to say to him will leave him at edge and doubtful of her forever."Kelly, please don't tell me you lied" He said in a low voice as he stared at her face in the silence of the roomKelly blinked tears out of her eye as the tears wet her lashes making them stick together."Kelly, you're crying" He exclaimed when he saw the tears in her eyes."Carson, I'm sorry but that woman out there is my mother... My foster mother and she was the one I was running away from on the night that I met you" She said in a low voice. Her tone was sad and Carson could not help but feel sorry for her."How come you never told me about her... She's Kate Harry. The woman who Wilson is after" He said staring at her with a soft gaze."Wilson is after her?" Kelly asked raising her head at
