The Wrath Of Harvey Brooklyn; The Underrated Son In Law

FIVE

Harvey directed them to the hospital where Nadia was in. "You can stop here, we've arrived."

They all came out of the car, and went in, Harvey went to the receptionist and signed some papers before he went to where his sister was.

Nadia lies on the bed, she seems to be asleep. Harvey walked up to her and touched her on the cheek, tears ran down his cheek. Nadia hadn't been able to walk for three years now after that accident. And it was all because of him, she was out there looking for money to clear up his school fees and then it resulted in this. Harvey had promised himself to not stop until he gave her the best treatment in the city, he would make sure she got back on her feet, even if it was the last thing he would do on this earth.

"Are you okay young Master?" Proj Jason asked, noticing Harvey getting emotional.

"Yes, I am," Harvey said, wiping the little tears from his eyes. Nadia woke up, she was disturbed by their noise and was surprised at her brother's sudden visit.

"Harvey?" She called.

"Nadia, you're awake."

"You didn't tell me you'll visit today." She said trying to balance on her bed. She was used to him visiting on every last day of the month, he was never allowed to leave Anderson's mansion without permission.

"Yeah, I wasn't planning to, but something urgent happened." He gestured at the men. Nadia's heart skipped seeing the hefty men that accompanied him, had something gone wrong, had he caused any trouble?

"Did anything happen?"

"Good day Miss Nadia, I'm Prof Jason." Jason addresses himself. 

"What do you want with my younger brother?" She asked, Nadia had always been overprotective over her younger brother. Harvey smiled over this, it was lovely seeing his sister being so caring.

"Nothing is wrong Nadia, they just came to talk. It's something very important."

"About what?"

"Miss Nadia, you don't have to worry, we didn't come for any trouble. As I said I am prof Jason, the Butler of the late Clement Stephenson, as directed by my late Master I came in search of the new heir to Stephenson, who's your brother. Harvey Stephenson." Proj Jason explained.

The news hit her like a punch to the gut, her eyes widening in disbelief as the words sank in. It was as if the air had been sucked out of the room, leaving her gasping for breath, her mind spinning as she grappled with the weight of what she had just heard. The same news she had been trying so hard to hide from Harvey.

"Are you okay Nadia?" Harvey asked, seeing her reaction.

"Y-yes, I'm fine." She tried to hide her reaction.

"B-but how did you find us?" Nadia stammered.

"So does that mean you know something about this?" Harvey asked, judging by the question she asked.

"Yes, Harvey. I do"

"What?" Harvey exclaimed in a puzzled state. 

Nadia, who had kept this a secret deep within her as their mother instructed, finally confirmed it. 

Nadia explained to Harvey that their mother was a mistress to Clement Stephenson, and his legal wife was after her to kill her. Their mother was pregnant with Harvey at that moment, and Nadia was still very little. 

Mr Clement tried to hide it from his wife, despite being married he still loved Harvey's mother, which was more of a forbidden love, as the two couples had to keep it a secret. 

It started a very long time ago, Clement and Martha, Harvey's late mother, fell in love in high school. They had already planned on getting married, as Martha was the kind of woman every man would dream of.

They got into an intimacy together and Martha became pregnant with his first child which was Nadia. But then Clement's family had already arranged his marriage with another woman, Sarah. He told his family about his relationship with Martha but they denied it because Martha was from a low-grade family, meanwhile, Sarah was from a reputable family.

Clement couldn't resist his family and was forcefully married to Sarah against his will. But still, he kept Martha as his mistress, giving her a house and everything that would make her comfortable.

Despite being married Clement visited her often, and his wife Sarah became extremely suspicious. She then decided to trace him, and then one night when he was coming out of Martha's house, Sarah stumbled upon them.

There was a heavy argument between them, and Sarah threatened to kill Martha.

Martha was scared, she was now pregnant with another child for Clement. To save her children's lives she wrote a letter to Clement before leaving the house he bought for her, hiding in the city away from trouble. And although she knew Clement had been trying so hard to find her.

"You mean you knew all these? Then why didn't you tell me, Nadia?" Harvey asked.

"It was the instruction of Mum, the Stephensons are ruthless, they were after our lives I had to keep you safe."

"But still. I'm a grown-up now, I deserve to know the truth! I can't believe I have a family out there and I don't even know." Harvey gestured.

"You don't have any family there Harvey, the only family you have is me. And I can't let you go back." Nadia declared.

"I understand your fear, but please Miss Nadia, the heir needs to return. The business is dying and it needs a leader." Prof Jason pleaded.

"An heir? I thought Clement had a son with Sarah before mum became pregnant with Harvey?" Sarah asked.

"Yes, but Master Clement later found out Sarah had been lying to him the whole time. Henry wasn't his biological son, she only framed the pregnancy to be his, because she wanted him to be with her at all cost." Prof Jason explained. Sarah was a deceitful woman, she knew no matter what she did, Clement would still be in love with Martha, so she needed something to trap him, something he couldn't resist. And so she hired someone to get her pregnant and drugged Clement to bed because he refused to touch her. And when it was morning she made it seem as if they did something the previous night.

"Then how can we trust you? How do we believe all this isn't a setup to capture us, where is the proof that Harvey is the new heir, do you have any?" She interrogated me.

"Yes, I do have a proof." Prof Jason brought out a device from a briefcase and placed it on a table. "This is a tape recorded by Master Clement before he died."

He then played the tape, and Harvey and Nadia paid close attention.

"This is Clement Stephenson. I'm recording this message to set the record straight about my family and my legacy. I can no longer live with the guilt and deception that has haunted me for so many years.

I recently learned that my wife, the woman I trusted above all others, betrayed me. She cheated on me, and the child we raised as our own, Henry, is not my biological son. It pains me to say this, but I have been a fool.

I failed my true children, Harvey and Nadia, by not being there for them. I let my pride and ignorance blind me to the truth, and for that, I am truly sorry.

But now that the truth is out, I want to do what's right. I'm leaving all my inheritance to Harvey, who is my true heir and rightful CEO of the Stephenson Group. I know Martha would raise him to be a good man, and I know that he will lead our family and our company with wisdom and integrity.

To my wife, I say this: You have betrayed me in the worst way possible.

"You have broken my heart, but I will not seek revenge. I will leave that to karma.

As for Henry, I still care for him, but I cannot pretend that he is my son. He is a part of our family, and I hope that he will one day forgive me for not being there for him as he deserved.

I know that this will come as a shock to all of you. I can only ask for your understanding and forgiveness. Thank you for listening, and God bless you all."

And then the tape was over.

"This is it, now do you believe me, Miss Nadia, Master Harvey?" Prof Jason asked.

"Yes, I will come with you. I will take what rightfully belongs to me." Harvey said.

"Harvey, are you sure about this?" Nadia asked. "It might be too risky and I'm sure Sarah will be after you."

"I'll be fine Nadia, this is an opportunity for us, and I can't let it slide."

"Please be careful." She said,

"There's nothing to worry about Miss Nadia, I and the entire Stephenson group are with Master Harvey, and we will serve him with all our heart." Prof Jason assured.

"Alright, but please keep me updated, and if anything goes wrong make sure you come back okay?" She said to Harvey.

"I will Nadia." He then hugged her on the bed.

"One more thing Prof."

"Go ahead, Master Harvey."

"I need my sister to be admitted to the best hospital in the city, would that be possible?"

"Of course, she will be transferred to another hospital first thing in the morning tomorrow, you don't have to worry about that."

"Good let's go.”
