“Hello Doctor, is he up yet?” Tony asked expectantly.
“Mr. Tony, the patient that was brought in is conscious and we're about to run some tests to be sure he's fine”. The doctor informed Tony and proceeded into Ethan's ward.
It had been a week since Ethan got into the accident. Passers-by rushed to his aid whilst calling the emergency line so he could be given immediate medical attention.
Soon enough, journalists were at the scene to report the incident live whilst the people from the emergency department were trying to stabilize Ethan before rushing him to the nearest hospital.
Upon arrival at Beryl General Hospital, he received treatment and was placed in an induced coma so he could have proper rest while his body healed. While unconscious, he was moved from Beryl General Hospital to the best hospital in Beryl City, Watson Specialty Hospital, and was admitted into the VIP ward by Mr. Tony.
He had regained consciousness but his head felt like it had been beaten with a bat used for playing cricket. The doctor entered Ethan's ward and noticed him grimacing and holding his head.
He rushed towards him and examined him, then gestured towards the nurse, "Stay here and make sure he's stable while I go talk to Mr. Tony outside”.
The Doctor stepped out of the ward, stood close to the door, and gestured for Tony to join him where he was standing.
The Doctor with a gleam of hope said, "He seems to have suffered from amnesia at a tender age and this recent accident caused him to suffer another traumatic impact to his head, but this time, it seems his memories from his childhood would return to him slowly. It may come in his dreams or as vague flashes, but he'll gradually regain his memory as he continues with his medications."
"That's wonderful news Doctor. I appreciate your help and effort. Can I talk to him now or does he need some more rest?" Tony questioned eagerly.
"You can talk to him now but don't put too much stress on him, if you do, he'll go into shock. The nurse will go in to check on him from time to time. I'll get his vitals chart from the nurse and I'll leave you two to it." The doctor concluded as he stepped into the ward to get the chart and exit with the nurse.
“You may go in now,” he said to Mr Tony gesturing to Ethan's ward.
“Oh, thank you doc” Mr Tony replied as he walked into the ward.
Upon his entry into the ward, Tony noticed Ethan was awake and squinting like he was trying to recognize who just walked into his ward.
“Welcome back, Young Master”, Tony greeted with his head bowed.
Ethan noticed some bodyguards outside his ward and was confused about what was going on.
“Young Master? I think you have me confused with someone else. I'm not a master to anyone. My name is Ethan. You must've entered the wrong ward.” Ethan suggested as he tried sitting upright on his hospital bed.
“Young Master, I'm not mistaken. You are the rightful heir to the Watson Conglomerate."Tony said with delight.
"You must've been hit in the head harder than I was hit to believe these things. I'm no Young Master or heir to the biggest Conglomerate in the country. I'm an orphan. My foster parents died a few years back and before I was adopted, I lived in an orphanage, so get your facts right and leave me alone." Ethan said menacingly as he had to remember the sad passing of his parents.
"Oh, but Young Master, you're wrong. Pardon my manners, I didn't get to introduce myself properly. I'm Tony Matthew, the personal assistant of the late Caleb Watson, the owner of Watson Conglomerate, the biggest conglomerate in the country. While you were unconscious, I ordered the doctor to get a DNA test done on you, and it was a match with the blood in this ancient heirloom that has been in the Watson family for years." Tony showed Ethan a customized pendant that had some blood smears on it and the DNA test results.
Ethan was surprised and began to see vague flashes. Tony's face looked familiar from the little he could remember about his childhood but Ethan was still skeptical.
"If I'm the heir to the Watson Conglomerate like you said, how and why did I end up in an orphanage home?"
Tony's features became gloomy as a tear threatened to escape his eyes as he narrated, "Late Master Caleb Watson had taken you and your sister on a drive to show you around Paradise Valley, a city where your family resides. Unfortunately, all of you met with a terrible accident, killing Master Caleb on the spot, but you and your sister, Elora, were nowhere to be seen by the time the emergency department got there. We have been searching for the both of you since, as we believed both of you were still alive somewhere but to no avail."
"How were you able to locate me this time around?" Ethan questioned, his curiosity overshadowing his doubts.
"After you met with an accident a week ago, the news of the accident was broadcasted across TV stations and while the emergency department was trying to get you out of the vehicle, we caught a glimpse of the unique birthmark on your arm, resembling constellations and I was on the next flight to Beryl City to confirm if it was you. Here, take a look at this picture from when you were 5." Tony brought out a picture from his wallet and handed it to Ethan.
Ethan stared at the pictures and he could see his father, mother, sister, himself, and even Tony in the picture and it didn't feel foreign to him, it felt like he had found his home.
"This is a lot to take in right now but all the evidence you've shown me is pointing to the fact that you're telling the truth. However, I have a family here as well. I cannot just up and leave them, especially my wife, Melissa. I have to inform her about everything. We would get the respect we deserve in her family and I can treat her as the Queen that she is." Ethan was struggling to handle the wave of emotions he was feeling right now, and then he asked, "Where is Melissa? Didn't she come to see me?"
"Nobody has come to visit you, Young Master. It's just been me and the guards." Tony responded.
"First off, enough with the Young Master thingy, call me by my name; Ethan or you'll get in trouble. Secondly, I left home without informing Melissa so she must've been worried sick about me and I don't think she knows I'm at the hospital because if she knew, she would've been by my side throughout. I need to go home to her. Find out from the doctor if I'm fit to be discharged right now. I miss my wife and I need to see her." Ethan's heart fluttered at the thoughts of Melissa and how happy she would be to see him and learn the new truth he learned about himself.
"Okay, Young, sorry. Okay, Ethan". Tony said before leaving the ward to the doctor's office.

He sounded delighted.On the way to Graham's mansion, Ethan had a taste of wealth as he saw Beryl City in a new light from the Ferrari Monza SP1 he sat in. This was the first time that he sat in a luxurious car with the likelihood of it being his.He had more appreciation for everything he saw and contemplated if this was a dream or if this would be his new life. He fantasized about vacations with Melissa and the respect he'll get from his in-laws whom he'll prove wrong for advising against his marriage with Melissa.“We're here sir,” Tony said, interrupting Ethan's fantasies. Ethan looked through the car window to see a lineup of cars that he only ever saw when the Grahams hosted events in the mansion.

"Divorce papers?” Ethan echoed with bulging eyes while frantically trying to grab the papers that were flying around to confirm if they were divorce papers.“Yes, divorce papers with your signatures on them," Melissa yelled with hatred evident in her tone."That can't be possible. I never got divorce papers prepared, not to talk of signing them, so how are my signatures on this?" Ethan tried to defend himself while raising his eyebrows in confusion."Don't play dumb with me. You're only upset because I'm not in my room crying into a pillow like a 14-year-old." Melissa paused and started laughing maniacally."You thought you could live without my family's money and now that you've been proven wrong, you want back in and you think I'll jump right into your arms?'' Melissa tutted in disbelief.“Babe, this is a misunderstanding. I didn't sign these divorce papers. Someone must've forged my signatures on them. You've got to believe me."

Ethan woke up the next day and rolled into a sitting position on his 60 by 80 inches queen-sized bed.He stared at the ceiling and for a brief moment admired the beautiful POP ceiling designs illuminated by the diamond-shaped chandelier.He got up and took a walk to the window and looked through the window pane at a vibrant city littered with middle-class working men. He stared at those on construction sites a few meters away, as they laughed, drank beer, and made use of heavy machinery.He looked down on the street and took a glance at businessmen and women running behind time and the performers by the road playing to the emotions of passers-by with the hope of getting some cents out of them.It was a beautiful city for those in power and wealth. He had never seen the city from this view before. And since his ascent up the ladder of social class, he had been too busy to enjoy this view. This was the first time since he could remember that he didn't feel like everything was against hi

Ethan arrived at the Emerald Estate at almost the same time David Graham left. He wasn't dressed in the wealth he had. He had gotten used to dressing simply and quite frankly, didn't see the need.He was still greeted with the chorused chants from the Emerald Estate greeters, “You're welcome to Emerald Estate! Your need is our command”.He smiled and noted that the customer care here was quite good. He proceeded into the building where he was awe-struck by a beautiful fair lady who was bathed in saliva coming from the mouth of an angry man he thought to be a disgruntled customer. He walked towards the receptionist counter to inquire what the issue could be but to his surprise, he was met with a smile and a bow from this pretty damsel who voiced out beautifully, “You're welcome to Emerald Estate, how may I be of help to you today?”He checked himself and was sure that he wasn't dressed as the wealthy man that he was, so he wondered why she gave him such a humble reply with rapt attent

He turned down the volume when he noticed them standing by the door and filled with so much joy he screamed, “It's done! I've finalized the deal today and I'm so certain that I've won the spot. The announcement will happen in a few days but it's done!"Eric and Claire hugged him warmly and looked at him with so much pride and happiness as they have always wanted to own a spot in the heart of the city and the most thriving plaza in Beryl City, ‘the Emerald Estate’.

“Yes, I am at the hospital,” Kehlani answered.“What the fuck does that have to do with you not being home? Get your ass over here now!” Henry yelled from the other end of the phone.“Won't you want to know what I'm doing in the hospital? Aren't you worried at all?” Surprise was stamped on Kehlani's face as she questioned Henry.There was a certain silence as she questioned Henry, but it was short lived as he picked up yelling, “Why would I care? Do you think I go around my day wondering what you're doing and probably not doing? I couldn't give two fucks about that and quite frankly, you still haven't answered the original question; why are you not at home?”.“My mom…” Kehlani was interrupted by Henry's sudden question, “Right!

Ethan strode down the steps defeated and worried when he saw the doctor that handled Kehlani's mother's surgery.“Doctor, how is Mrs. Michaels? Is she getting better?”“Yes, she just woke up and is talking to her daughter right now.” The doctor responded casually.Ethan almost walked away when he understood what the doctor meant and stopped him to ask, “wait, her daughter? Is she there with her right now?”“Her daughter, the lady you came with earlier, is there with her mother. Will that be all sir?” The doctor asked Ethan politely.Ethan raced up the stairs to Mrs. Michael's room and gently knocked on the door. “Come in,” Kehlani replied.Ethan heaved a sigh of relief as he opened the door, “Hello ma'am, and hello Khelani”.“You look worried sir, I hope all is well?” Khelani asked Ethan, whose brows were furrowed in frustration.“Well, all is well now.

“Please help me get up” Kehlani asked Ethan, as she winced in pain.“Slowly. Take it easy” Ethan guided, as she sat upright and he helped her on to the wheelchair by the bedside.“How do you feel? Comfortable?” Ethan questioned, as he checked the wheelchair to see if there was any issue before moving.“It's okay. I'm okay, let's go see my mom” Kehlani said with a smile, before Ethan wheeled her round the hospital and into the recovery room where her mom was kept.“Please we can't let strangers see patients” a male nurse that has just resumed duty for his afternoon shift said to Ethan.“I agree I'm a stranger but she's not. She's the daughter of the patient” Ethan said, pointing to Kehlani in the wheelchair.“Please what is the name of the patient you wish to see?” the nurse asked.“Mrs. Michael. Daniella Michael is her name” Kehlani responded with a nonchalant look.“And what is your name ma? Please may I have your file to confirm that too?” “I'm Kehlani Michael and here's my file to

"Nice to meet you, Kehlani. You seemed to be in a haste when you tripped over the huge rock in front of the hospital, causing the fall that impacted your head. Is everything alright?" Kehlani instantly remembered that she was rushing to the hospital to plead with the doctors to accept half payment in order to proceed with her mom's surgery, as she was informed that her mom needed the surgery urgently."My mom! Where is my mom? I need to get to her right now." Kehlani moved to leave the bed frantically, but Ethan didn't let her."Your mom? What happened to your mom? I'm sorry I can't let you get off this bed. The nurse said you need rest." Kehlani tried struggling in Ethan's grasp but Ethan didn't flinch and she broke into tears."My mom needs urgent surgical attention and I only have half the money for the surgery.

That would be me” Ethan replied as his body trembled with thoughts of what the news could be .“Sir, the patient you brought to our attention is stable but she's unconscious.

Hello, Why are you not home yet?” Henry said on the phone. He had gone back to an empty house he had rented for her but coming home to the empty house wasn't quite unusual.“I…I went to see mom. The doctor called so I had to rush over, I should have called to inform you, I'm sorry about that.” Kehlani said hurriedly knowing fully well what reaction would follow the situation.“Well, get here. Now.” Henry ended the call abruptly, then tossed his phone on the couch.He reached to lessen the pressure of his tie while striding towards the mini bar. A smile curled on his lips as he thought about the plan he's about to actualize.He got hold of a bottle of bourbon before he could think of an actual choice of drink. He chose the bottle of bourbon because it tends to help him think better.The sound of a closed door drew him out of oblivion, he checked his watch to find out that an hour had gone by.“Took you long enough.” He said blandly. His eyes moved up and down her figure, and a smile t

“How about doing something that he would never be forgiven for and no one will want to side him on?” Henry suggested.“Yes? But that's almost impossible, he won't do anything like that. He's too much of a righteous being when it comes to the things he does and doesn't” Melissa chipped in.“So what do we do about that?” Claire questioned.“Can we set him up and make him do it? By drugging him or any means necessary?” Eric added.“Who said anything about him doing anything? Henry said as he sat upright on the couch.With everyone staring at him expectantly and their eyes signaling him to continue with sharing the details of his plan, he began to explain, “What if we can find someone that will be willing to blackmail him for doing something unforgivable and we can forge proof with Photoshop. The Internet doesn't do much research with these sensitive matters, they mostly just go with the ladies' story. If we can use that to our advantage, he'd be locked up for life”.“That's a brilliant i

What happened at the reunion?" Melissa and Jason fell unto the couch, fatigued.Before they could respond to all the questions that Claire was throwing at them, Eric came storming down the stairs,"What the heck did you two do now?
