“I am here to see a patient; she was admitted a few hours ago," Denzel said to the nurse on a white scrub, breathing heavily He paused to catch his breath before continuing , “Her name is Marie Fernard.” “Calm down, mister, this is a hospital; lower your voice!” The nurse eyed him from head to toe as she replied, fuming in anger Judging from his shabby look, she needed no prophet to tell her that a man dressed in worn-out jeans and a crumpled shirt would not be able to pay a million-dollar required for the surgery. His type were those who ended up begging for free treatment. “ And who are you to her?” Her voice held a condescending tone as she glared at him in disdain. “I am her son,” Denzel replied impatiently, ignoring the weird glances and whispers from the people in the waiting room. Few hours ago, he received the news that his foster mother got involved in an accident. But he was unable to rush down to the hospital, because his in-laws wouldn't let him leave the house
“How much are we talking about here” Mr Kendrick asked “One million dollars '' Denzel replied,his lips curving into a small smile. Deep down he was thanking his stars that he obeyed his mind, by asking his inlaw for money. “That's a small money,” Mr Kendrick said, causing Denzel's handsome face to broaden up with smiles this time. “ But then again.”Mr Kendrick said, fixing his gaze to his son-in-law, “This also goes to show the length of your uselessness,” Mr Kendrick sneered, causing the smile on Denzel's face to seize, but Denzel shrugged it off. Right now, they could insult him for all they want, so far they gave him the money he was asking for.“I will give you the one million dollars.But on one condition” Mr Kendrick said,his deep voice resounding in Denzel's ears.Denzel’s heart raced, as his father-in-law's words hung heavy in the air. He wasn't expecting that,but he couldn't wait to hear the condition. “Take the blame for Tom, You will tell the police that you are the one
“ Mr Kendrick slammed the brown envelope on the glass centre table,” This is the divorce paper dissolving your marriage with my daughter. Sign it before I get back.” he growled, turning his back and went up the stairs without giving Denzel a chance to talk.Oliva froze, her mouth dropping to the floor. “ Yes, finally! his in laws high fived each other as they erupted in laughter and joy.Denzel needed no one to tell him that they had been waiting for this day to come , it wasn't about his refusal, he was aware they never accepted him and was never in support of his union with their daughter. “Mr Kendrick really thought this through,”Denzel said inwardly as sadness enveloped him the more. “Sign the damn divorce papers,”Mrs Veronica and Tom chorused excitedly.“Pack your stinking self out of this house and never return! You shameless thing,” Anita yelled mockingly.Denzel’s heart sunk into his stomach,He felt as if a cat was clawing at his heart viciously as he tried to absorb what ha
“Olivia please don't tell me you are being serious right now?” Denzel asked, still in shock. Never in a million years did he expect that Olivia would betray him like this. “Olivia I know this is not you talking, I know your father has threatened you to support evil” “Shut up!” Olivia yelled, connecting her palm with Denzel’s cheeks forcefully. Denzel winced as he felt the sting from the slap the woman he trusted landed on his cheeks. “ Do you think I will choose a miserable thing like you over my family? Sign it before I force you to.” Olivia snarled, eyeing Denzel disdainfully Shock was an understatement to what Denzel felt. His wife, Olivia —betrayed him like this? With pain etched in every part of his body, Denzel signed the papers. The last thing he heard before being dragged out was the sound of loud laughter coming from his supposed in-laws and painfully, the woman he had trusted. “Olivia you are such a badass” Anita hailed as she handed a handkerchief to Olivia.
Denzel froze as his own voice rang in his ears. This was the last conversation he had with Olivia doesn't it mean it was recorded and now used as evidence against him? They had planned this all along. She tricked him into confessing to what he knew nothing about. Denzel thought as he felt a pang of pain hit him. “So was that your voice or not? And did you admit your usage of drugs to your wife or not? The officer yelled , as he sprang up, slamming his hands on the shaky table. Denzel’s face turned pale. He knew he had been framed but he didn't know Olivia and her family would go to this extent , the more he thought about it , the more his heart sank deeper. “Please, I didn't do it, all of these are just a set up by Mr Kendrick and his family” Denzel begged as he stared at the man looking for any sign of sympathy but the man offered none.“Take him out,if he doesn't want to say the truth I will force it out of him”, The officer growled as two other officers rushed to Denzel and aggr
“ Young master, we are sorry we had taken this measure in making sure we rescued you, they turned him around checking for injuries, “Relax, you are in safe hands now, young master” The three of them bowed slightly as two gently lifted him up from the chaos. “ Young master?” Denzel asked,utterly confused Before Denzel could tell what was happening , he was seated at the back seat of an air conditioned range rover.His eyes darted around the car as he gasped taking in the car interior and posh leathers. The one that baffled me most was how this car managed to stay undamaged , like it hadn't hit a van , whereas the other van suffered terrible damage. His gaze landed on the gorgeous lady driving at the front, her white tailored suit hugged her slender body accentuating her well sculpted body even while she was seated. She looked so put together with her blonde hair nearly tied up in a bun. Without doubt she is a rich business woman and she really smells nice too. Denzel thought. As if
“Yes , I'm aware I also have noticed for a while now, I have been watching the car closely ” Amanda said, disrupting Denzel’s thoughts as she sped up the car attempting to give the other car space.Surprisingly, the other car also sped up, now pursuing their car with full force to double cross them. Amanda sped up to the highest gear, her hands firm around the steering.Denzel’s heart drummed against his chest as he tightly held one of the men. It was as if he was experiencing fast and furious in real life and the speed at which Amanda was driving, Denzel feared that the car would summersault but this time, he had no idea who was going to save him.Bang! Bang! Countless gunshots hit the back glass of the car. Denzel's heart dropped into his stomach as he waited for the bullet to pierce his skin. He sat still for a while amidst the sounds of gunshots but when he didn't feel any pain, he slowly opened his eyes and watched as the bullets bounced on the car window but were unable to pene
After 3 hours, the car finally came to a halt in a secluded part of the city, where only the; Elites members of the city, powerful businessmen and CEOs own properties or live.Denzel’s family, the Leon family, owned the largest portion of land in the area and a whole estate named after them. “ We are here young master” Amanda said as the automatic white gate slided, revealing the magnificent white mansion. Denzel’s mouth dropped open as he took in the sight before him. There was a huge white peacock fountain, the vicinity was surrounded by neatly trimmed and bright flowers as several men in black suits with headphones hung around their heads walked around,while talking. “This is one of the properties of your grandfather” Amanda said to Denzel with a polite smile, while packing at the open garage“Wow” Denzel said with his eyes darting around the luxurious cars lined up in the garage.“Welcome home young master” the servants said in unison,bowing their heads slightly as one of them
