Tessa dialed her mum’s number immediately but she didn’t pick up. Trying again, she did. “Hey Tessa, how are you doing?” her mum asked as she just burst into tears. Hot tears began rolling down her cheeks. “Is Kelvin my real dad?” she asked first. Silence erupted. Tessa could just wish her mum had said “Yes,” but what she heard next from her mum shocked her. “He isn’t your real dad. Where did you hear that from?” she asked frankly, but all Tessa could do was let out a scoff.“Are you my real mum too, or did you adopt me as well?” Tessa asked in a straight tone. “I'm sorry Tessa, I am your real mum. It was just a mistake. I got pregnant, I thought it was for your father but I was wrong. Five years later, when he came and claimed the child was his with evidence, I wanted to get rid of you, but I couldn’t because I felt a strong connection between you and I,” Mia cooed as she spoke.“Does Kelvin really know about this?” Tessa asked still in tears. “Your father…” she was interrupted and s
"But what?" Astrian asked her as she sighed before proceeding to speak, "But, he did the worst by almost killing my children. I was a weak person and had begged him, so I kept quiet, but knowing the truth now, I couldn’t keep it again; it eats me up." She sighed as Astrian just watched her. "What if she was putting on an act so he could believe her and then inform her husband?" he thought as he cleared his throat. "I'm sorry, but in this situation, I am right now, I can’t trust anyone," he told her as she smiled sadly before standing up. "I get it. If I were in your shoes too, I wouldn't trust a single person," she told him before walking out. "Wait, you look like someone on TV," she told him as Astrian frowned. "TV, no I don’t," he immediately denied as she nodded. "If you need my help, you can call my number. I’m willing to help you bring down that monster," Mia told him before finally getting out of his apartment.Just as Mia was about to walk towards her car, she spotted a familia
Then make sure you find them, never come here without them," Kelvin told the person through the phone before cutting the call. "Gorya, you would apply for a cleaner while Astrian would apply for one of the programmers, since you are good in computing stuff," Rose told him. "What about my companies? This would make Kelvin more suspicious and I really have to be careful so he won't trail me home," Astrian told her as Rose sighed. "Please, do we all forget about Kelvin threatening my daughter? She must have hated me now," Daniel sighed sadly as his eyes burned in malice. "I tried talking to her, she says she would think about it. I am still guilty of not telling her what's going on," Gorya told everyone as Astrian pulled her close to him, hugging her as she reciprocated.Reed stared at his phone, and afterwards threw it on his bed as he ruffled his hair. "I think I should see her," he thought before standing on his feet, going outside and walking towards his car. He was abducted, trying
The black mask on Reed's head was opened as his eyes were blurry, he tried opening his eyes but all he could see was darkness. He tried standing but realized he was being tied to the chair, he started to free himself but all to no avail."It's useless doing that," he heard a calm voice in darkness as the lights in the room turned on. Reed's eyes met with his father's as he stared at him in malice."I warned you, didn't I?" His father's voice echoed in the room as Reed gulped down his saliva. He hated this man in front of him with passion but what could he do? No matter how he tried to deny the fact that it was his father standing in front of him, the harder the pain that spread through his chest."You're going to marry that woman or else your mother will have to pay for your disobedience," his father's voice came out dangerous as Reed's eyes almost popped out from his sockets. "Why do you have to threaten me with mum? I thought you loved her but now all I can see is a greedy man who c
"What are you doing here?" she asked angrily, staring at Reed with malice in her eyes. "I'm really sorry, I have to explain something to you," he cooed. "Get out! Both of you," she yelled, her patience wearing thin. "I would come back to get the money your mother owed me and don't always forget..." he moved close to her. "You killed your mother," he smirked before leaving as she stood like a statue."Are you okay?" Reed asked as she faced him. "I told you to..." her voice cracked as she couldn't say any more words, tears rolling down her eyes. He helped her sit, and surprisingly, she allowed him. "Who's he?" he asked calmly. "How dare you act calm in front of her. But what could she do? She needed someone to comfort her right now," she thought before answering him. "My dad," she sighed as he nodded. "I'm really sorry," he bent his head, guilt covering him. "Can you please not talk about that now and kindly get me some water?" she asked. "Okay," he nodded as he stood up and walked into
Ryran listened to everything Mia had said with anger burning visibly in his eyes; he just realized Tessa wasn’t his real sister but could be considered as a stepsister. It really broke him. Tessa was thankful enough Mia hadn’t revealed the part of Kelvin being a murderer and a monster. “No matter what happens, Tessa is still my sister. How could the man hurt you, Mum, because of the Dad?” Ryran couldn’t help but ask the question that had been going through his mind. Mia swallowed hard before she could reply, “He’s…” “Kelvin’s business partner. They actually hate each other for a reason best known to them. It’s business, okay, so we shouldn’t interfere. He wanted revenge and had mistakenly hurt Mum, and he regrets it now. At least he is not like others,” Tessa interrupted, rolling her eyes.Ryran immediately felt confused as he stared at both his sister and mother. “Something doesn’t just feel right,” he said. “You call Dad Kelvin for the first time, and you talk like he really offended
Reed’s hand shook as he stared at his phone, “Don’t you dare hurt my mum,” he told his dad, who tied his mum to a chair, and she seemed to be in a deep sleep. “Told you I’d do something and you dared me to, and I did,” Jonathan told his son as Reed began fuming in anger. “If you dare hurt my mum, you’d be in great trouble,” he warned coldly as Jonathan laughed, ending the call. Reed hit the couch angrily as he rushed out. Just as he went out, Tina came out, looking worried. “Did I do the right thing?” she couldn’t help but question herself.After some hours of waiting, Thyme was called in. Kelvin watched Thyme closely as he walked up to him. “Mr., my assistant has told me about you, and you seem to have great qualities. Now you are my personal hacker, and you have to find someone for me before tomorrow,” Kelvin spoke seriously as Thyme just stared at him. “His name is Bruce, while his wife’s name is Emma. They traveled out of the country, and I have to find them because they are in re
