That Saturday morning, the sun cascaded down upon the earth, its beautiful light radiating on the skin of the people as they went about their daily lives. It was finally the day of the wedding.
Before the Courthouse, several flashy cars packed at the corner, as many wealthy and influential people in all of Turphey gathered to witness the first legal marriage of a Woodluck heir.Outside the courthouse, by the left side of the building, Kelvin was standing in the midst of Rolo and Declan, his two good friends who had traveled from England to witness the wedding of his beautiful sister, Pamela.Of all the beautiful looks and smiles on everyone's faces, Kelvin's anxious and furious gaze changed the settings of the lining.His brow furrowed deeply, and his eyes narrowed into fiery slits as he glared at the entrance door of the courthouse, looking to see no one in particular.He couldn't believe that after all his warnings, Pamela went aheAt the Woodluck mansion, the compound was booming with different luxury cars with wealthy and Influential personnel patrolling in and out of the house. Top politicians and businessmen in Turphey were trooping in and out of the house. The anticipation of the evening banquet and other entertaining activities hung out in the air. As Kelvin and his two friends entered the house, they were greeted by the presence of servants who offered them drinks to chill for the moment. They went directly to the garden outside the house. While they sat comfortably, Kelvin caught a glance of Frank walking back into the house after answering a phone call outside. He had a beaming smile on him, and Kelvin scoffed angrily, Kelvin wondered who he could be talking to at that time. Seeing that Frank was alone, he knew that it was a perfect time to have a chat with him without Pamela interfering as usual. He gulped down the remaining of his wine and smashed the glass on the table.“I'll be right back, guys.
“What the hell is wrong with you, Kelvin? I'm your mother. Don't you dare raise your voice at me,” Becca said to him. He clenched his fist looking in the other direction. His rage was growing slowly, even though she had no idea about his reason for sudden rage. “Fine, his name is Mark, and his surname should be Muller. His father died a long time ago, honestly, I had no idea where he was and how he managed to grow into who he is now. He told me that he has a company in Vancouzer, is that how you knew him?” Kelvin shook his head lightly, ignoring her questions. He wiped his lips and turned towards her direction."What did he ask about? You don't know who that is, Mom. Everything you think you know about him is lies.”"He came back to Boston with a fake identity, but surely you don't want to talk about that right now. All you have to do is trust me. I know him better than you do, and I didn't invite him, of course, no one did.”
It was raining heavily in Boston when Becca alighted from the car. She walked into the house, her face was a mask of anguish, and her eyes, red and swollen from crying, spoke volumes about her grief.As she sauntered into the house, Gregory was sitting on the sofa when she entered. He left his seat and rushed to her.“Where are you coming from? And why did you have the men drive while the rain was falling? You could've stayed and taken as long as you wanted.”. He said, and she shot daggers from her eyes."And why should I listen to you? You seem to have forgotten that you don't get to tell me what to do. At least not anymore.” He furrowed his brow and raised his hands signaling his surrender. She sighed and buried her gaze on the floor, knowing that her anger was becoming evident. "We should talk." She said, and he gestured her to a seat. As they took their seats together, Gregory knew from the looks on her face that whatever
It was a cold morning, following the rainfall of the previous day. Kelvin drove into the compound and sauntered into the house. He hadn't gotten the news of the recent development between his parents, as Gregory had sworn never to be the one to break the news to him.As he entered the house, his grandpa was rounding up a phone call, standing by the sofa with a glass of whiskey in his left hand.Kelvin sighed and let out a warm smile. “Hey Popsi,” he said as he walked towards him."You realized that you shouldn't be drinking right? How many times have the doctors warned you about that?” "Oh please, fuck the Doctors!" Connor said, and Kelvin chuckled.“Have you heard from your parents?" “What do you mean? I hear from my parents every time," Kelvin said. Clearly, he was not aware of what had happened the previous day.Keeping it a secret from him would be pointless, and Connor knew was definitely gonna find out soon enoug
7 days later, Pamela was having her happiest moments with Frank in the Philippines, while Kelvin struggled with Katherine's presence at work. Becca had divorced Gregory, and Gregory was forced to leave the house. There was no point remaining in the house when he was no longer married to Becca. Although he had enough money, he still misses the presence of Becca. Shockingly, Mariana couldn't fill in for her. Mariana had turned out to be a menace, unlike he had hoped, he came to realize that she didn't want him like he thought. She only cared about punishing Becca. That very evening, Pamela and Frank had agreed to attend a popular festival held in a popular arena. As time approached for the hangout, Pamela sat on the bed when she realized that the photographer she had employed had yet to arrive. She picked up her phone and dialed his number, but she couldn't reach him. Immediately, the door opened, and Frank entered the house. It was a
24 hours later, Connor Woodlock was seated on the sofa, when Kelvin walked in. He walked briskly and greeted his grandpa, announcing his presence. As he turned to head for the staircase, Connor stopped him.“We need to talk, Kelvin. It's about the recent development in the family. I'm not happy that your parents are divorced, it's very terrible news for me to take. But still, there's nothing I can do to change that." He said, and Kelvin paused and returned to the sofa. “Everything already, grams?”"You talk as if there's something I should know that I don't know yet." He said, and Connor paused. He smacked his lips and exhaled deeply.“You're the strength of this family, son. Always remember that. Mind you, there are lots of things you don't know, and I wish I could tell you, but it's not that simple. I only hope that you won't get to find out. Just focus on maintaining a good legacy for our family, that's all, son.”Hearing those words,
“What happened?" Becca asked, rushing into the hospital, while Kelvin was in a hot argument with Katherine.“Mom, have you been able to reach Katherine?" Kelvin asked, rushing towards her, leaving Katherine at the corner.“But I told you already, Kelvin. Her number is not going through." Katherine interrupted, making him pause. His eyes darkened with uncontrollable rage as he turned around.Becca was confused at the moment, everything seemed to be happening too fast. She furrowed her brow searching for clarity over the fog that had settled in her thoughts.“What exactly happened? I didn't seem to get what you were saying on the phone. You said something about a phone call," she said to Kelvin, and he exhaled deeply. Immediately, the nurses came out of the hospital room and walked past Kelvin without a word. Kelvin and Becca exchanged gazes, their expression a clear sign that a shred of confusion had engulfed them. Kelvin furrow
“No, that cannot be. It cannot happen at all, I refuse to believe." Uncle Theo yelled, his eyes turned red, showing that he feared that Kelvin's words might be true, but he wouldn't believe it.Kelvin sighed and stood up from his seat. As he walked towards the exit, he stopped and turned around facing his mother.“Remember what I told you today, whatever has befallen Pamela, Frank is involved. I'm telling you this so when you see him again if you ever will, then you must take legal action against him.”“To do that, we need to find evidence of his conspiracy and plot against Pamela or the family. Somehow, I know that there is a piece of evidence somewhere, we just need to find it. And as for you, Mom, stay away from Mark and General Orlando.” Kelvin said abruptly and walked out of the house. Hearing those words, Gregory turned facing Becca, he furrowed his brows, a puzzled look crossing his face as he tried to make sense of those words.“What's that?" He asked, and Becca glared at him
