Two weeks passed with Rex and his wife staying with his family. Lisa’s recovery was more important than whatever Peter was up to now that he was released.The little girl was now able to walk and was undergoing speech therapy. She was now able to tell who was who and was made aware that both her parents were in heaven which she understood. Their lives went to a normal functional family in two weeks. Rose and Peter decided to do their first antenatal booking, and Rex could not contain his excitement.They walked into the doctor's office, and Rose was ordered to get on the bed as she pulled up her shirt. The doctor began taking the scan.“There is the baby,” he said, calling on Rex to get nearer.“Is it a boy or a girl?” Rose asked.‘It's too soon to tell, but by the fourteen-week, we will be able to tell,” the doctor explained.“That's too far,” Rex replied.“Patience, I know you want a boy?” Rose got up from the bed. “This is the reason I want this baby to be a girl,” Rose mocked.
Peter closed his eyes, trying to process what his daughter had just said, but he could not wrap his head around the pregnancy thing. It couldn't be, something was off or maybe they were thanking the pregnancy to spite him. Rex never married his daughter for love, for life, or commitment, but married her to use her against him.To him, Rose was a shield that he hid behind and nothing else. She was joking. She was not pregnant. She couldn't be pregnant. He kept trying to convince himself.Rex stood in front of him, noticing he was at war in his stupid head."Aren't you supposed to be congratulating us?" Rex asked with a huge smile on his face. He was loving the confusion on the pathetic man’s face. Peter looked up at him, not in any mood for any congratulations. He was actually caught out of words.He never saw the messy shit leading to the creation of a new life. Rex walked past him, making sure to bump shoulders."Hope when the child is born, you will shield the monster that is
Peter rubbed his temple, he was in no mood to entertain more trash. “I do not have to explain anything to you, but if you are not going to be patient and you get caught, then you will be on your own!” he warned her and requested her to stop calling, or else they were going to be at risk of being caught.Chelsea stared at her phone in disbelief.Waiting one more day was not the luxury she had on her hands.She wanted to leave the filthy place she was in, and that was only possible with Rex’s death.But now the old man was pushing back the plan.She felt like screaming, but that was another luxury she did not have.She quickly put her phone and gun away, making sure no one was watching her.Living in a homeless shelter for over a month was the most embarrassing and humiliating chapter of her life that she was eager to get out of. It was worse than prison.At least in prison, she had a comfortable bed with fresh food and a shower. They even had a TV and a gym.But in the shelter, beds
Meanwhile, at the mansion, Peter was busy with his lawyers, trying to block his wife from getting the main mansion when Chelsea beeped at him.He looked at his pager, irritated. He had clearly instructed her to stop calling him and wait for instructions, but the woman had a brick in the brain and was very impatient. He ignored his phone, but she kept calling over and over again, forcing him to excuse himself.He walked outside this time, not wanting anyone to hear his conversation. “What the fuck is wrong with you!” he yelled at her. “Rose is pregnant?” Chelsea went direct to the point, trying to hold back from yelling.Peter’s eyes darted around, she was not supposed to know such private news. “Where are you?” he asked.“I fucking asked you a question!” Chelsea yelled. "Is this why you no longer want me to kill that stupid bastard?" she yelled this time.Peter took a deep breath, yelling was not going to solve anythingRose’s pregnancy changed a lot of things, and he was not sure
“Would you fucking shut up!” Peter removed his gun and charged at her.Chelsea paused, breathing heavily. Her entire face was peach red, ready to burst open with fury.“We had a deal, a fucking deal, and you were only supposed to show your ugly face to Rex when I told you to!” Peter yelled, pointing the gun at her.Chelsea kept breathing heavily without showing any sign of fear.“What if Rex had seen you? Do you know that he always has invisible people guarding him? What if they saw you!” he yelled at her.Chelsea looked at him, wiping her already bloodshot eyes.“Answer me!” he yelled at her.There was silence in the room.Peter looked away, tempted to blow her head off. After all, the mess in his life started because of her. But he needed her if he wanted his hands to be clean.Chelsea had once lost everything, including her baby, because of Rex, and she was willing to spend the rest of her life in prison as long as Rex had a bullet in his head.Because her hate for him was public
Naming the new baby after Sam was fully welcomed by both Edward and Sydney. They felt it was an honor to Samvand and the family, though they were upset that the couple was taking time to relocate and start a new life away from Peter Banks.When Rose got discharged, the couple, together with Patricia, moved out of Peter’s mansion for the baby’s sake and were staying in one of Rex’s mansions.Rose did not want her father near her son. The man was never going to change, especially with the way he was treating her mother and corrupting the judges.The couple planned to leave the country once the divorce was finalized.Her mother had decided to drop the contest for the house. She was done with her husband and did not want to be associated with him.She was also in the process of selling her two companies to Rex, especially now that he was done with cleaning the companies and was the major shareholder.The news did not sit well with Peter. He planned to sue Rex for manipulating his wife and
Rex was tempted to scream but restrained his excitement. Counting chickens before they hatch was never his style.But for eight months, he had tried to find a crime that would land the fool with more than ten years but always came up short.The closest he ever got was the money laundering, but because he cleaned both his mother-in-law and wife’s companies, he had automatically made himself an accomplice, which Peter would use against him.But now, with the CIA director awake, the flash, and a terrorist willing to confess, Peter was as good as gone.He was tempted to run after his wife and tell her the good news but restrained himself again.He was going to tell her everything after the investigations were done.He got up and took a shower, smiling and picturing how life with Peter locked up was going to be.He was going to be free, and there was a possibility of not leaving the country and bringing his family to join him and his wife.He finished his bath and headed out to meet with t
“How the fuck did you know about the charity event?” Rose yelled. “The invitations are not out yet, but you already know about the event?”Rex quickly got on his laptop, checking for any breach in security, but he found none.“Rose, the old board that you are trying to change was appointed by me, so they informed me about the event that you plan to replace them,” Peter explained.Rose slowly calmed down; she had completely forgotten why she wanted to change the board.“You are not invited. If you had cared, you would have called the day I gave birth!” Rose yelled, hanging up.She turned to face her husband. “He went snooping around the board, spying on me instead of reaching out to me!” she yelled, irritated.“I am going to block him. I do not want to speak to him or see his face!” she added.Rex got up from where he was seated and placed the baby in the crib.He walked to her and gave her a hug.“Bae, forget about him. The charity is not going to plan itself,” he advised her and pla
