The hidden heir of Wayne Fifty-two: Twisted case
The wailing of sirens filled the streets as officer Redd hurried down to the hospital in his official vehicle. He had put on his siren to alert the other drivers that it was an emergency and even if he didn't wait for the traffic light to turn green, his other colleagues warding the streets would understand.He arrived at the hospital and hurried to meet the doctor who was already attending to the patient that had just woken up."Doctor..." He called out as he panted."Officer Redd! Are you alright?" The doctor asked as he went to meet him. He placed his hand on his shoulder and handed him a bottle of water from a nearby cart in the room.Officer Redd accepted it and drank a little from its portion. "My man." He smiled as he stared at the patient that was already sitting down on the bed. "Did you rush here because of him?" The doctor's eyes widened. "You shouldn't have rushed to get here, he is not going anywhere you know." "I know, I just missed him so much. We have a lot to talk
The hidden heir of Wayne Fifty-three: Survival of the prettiest
Mia sighed as she fell into her bed and closed her eyes shut. She didn't know how to feel, she was angry, sad, anxious, and curious, all at the same time. Why wouldn't she be? She hadn't heard from any of them and she had always missed her chance to call and check in.For all she knew, they could have removed Ivan's oxygen support and buried him already or Ivan could have woken up and gotten back to his usual life at school. The last thing she heard from Alfred was Ivan was in a coma and he was not responding to treatment like he was supposed to.The door to her room pushed open and her mother walked in with a concerned look on her face for her daughter. She went to her and sat next to her on the bed."I'm fine... Cause I know that is your question." Mia said before her mother said anything.Her mother didn't respond and just sat down next to her with a weary smile on her face.Mia was forced to sit up and she turned to look at her mother. "You don't have to worry about me, mom, I a
The hidden heir of Wayne Fifty-four: The Grahams
The Graham's residence was a prestigious home, a place to cause the jaws of visitors to drop in complete surprise. It was a place Tara had gotten used to already, since she was dating the youngest son of the Graham family. They took her as family and even gave her a whole room in the house where she could stay for as long as she wanted.Tara's family were rich but there was a difference between being rich and wealthy and the Graham's were wealthy. All she selfishly wanted was to be a part of that wealth but she didn't know there were paroles that they ran to get to where they were and she was not so sure she still wanted to be a part of their wealth on finding out.But in situations like that, it was usually too late, maybe hers might be different. She was strolling down the hallway out of boredom after Charlie left her all by herself in his room, though promising to be back in a few minutes but it had been longer than that.The Graham's had a study room with all the books one could
The hidden heir of Wayne Fifty-five: Ivan's choices
The tension and anxiety that lingered in the room was higher than ever. It was something they all patiently waited and anticipated for but when something related to Ivan's waking started happening, they all felt shocked.Doctor Winston rushed over to him to check him and asked China to assist him since she was a medical student. "China! Hurry and come over here, we need to check him instantly!" He ordered sternly.China blinked repeatedly, feeling a little confused before her senses finally returned and she rushed to join him. "Yes doctor Winston, what exactly do you need me to do?" Doctor Winston, who was already engrossed in checking Ivan, didn't even raise his head to look at her as his sole attention was to make sure everything was alright with his patient. "Just stay here by my side, I will tell you what to do." He responded sharply.She nodded and also began examining Ivan with her eyes until her physical assistant would be needed.Mia, of course, was starting to feel left o
The hidden heir of Wayne Fity-six: Game of risk
Mia didn't know whether to be angry or pleased that she confessed things to her. But what was this condition she was giving her? She could never give up on Ivan, no matter who he picked, but if she agreed to China's condition then she would be bounded by her word and forced to stay away truly.A question popped into her mind and she did not hesitate to ask it."What if he doesn't pick either of us?" "And what if he picks us both?" China countered her question with hers. Mia felt surprised. "What do you even mean by that?" She didn't know how to react to China's words."Don't get me wrong here." China sighed. "I just want you to promise me that you will not get mad if he chooses me or another random girl, maybe Tara for example, and neither will I." Mia choked on her words, she knew there was a very big chance of Ivan choosing another girl over her after everything she had done to him but she also knew that China was right.If Ivan did wake up and ended up not choosing either of th
The hidden heir of Wayne Fifty-seven: Change in plans
Shock was that feeling of pause while the brain made a new connection, one that brought high emotion of either joy or sorrow. It was just like finding yourself unexpectedly on a platform, a train approaching, realizing that that time the destination was not a choice.China's brain stuttered for a moment and her eyes took in more light than she expected, every part of her went on pause while her thoughts slowly caught up. Mr Andrews saw the shock register on his daughter's face before she could hide it. A small smile played on his lips.That was a moment where China's face washed blank with confusion, like her brain cogs could not turn fast enough to take in the information from her wide eyes. Every muscle of her body just froze."Are you not happy to see your dear daddy?" Mr Andrews asked.Mrs Shay sprung to her feet to meet Mr Andrews where he was standing and she was wearing one of her brightest and prettiest smiles."Good day to you sir, China didn't tell me her father would be com
The hidden heir of Wayne Fifty-eight: The death of Elvis explained
Minutes before officer Redd got a call.The evening sky was calm and settled, even though it was empty of the moon that evening, the stars that were twinkling in the sky still made it look beautiful.Alfred and Tara were standing outside the police station next to each other. So many times as they tried to hail a taxi but failed, Alfred would want to try to bring up the conversation of her returning to the Graham's residence and how unsafe it was but he would also swallow his words back just like a pill because he knew she would not give in to his words."Mr Alfred," Tara called out to him.He turned around and fixed his gaze on her. "Yes Miss Tara?" "I know you are very worried about me but I want to assure you that I am very skilled in not getting caught and I will be sure to make use of that skill to save myself." She assured him with a smile on her face.Alfred couldn't help but to smile. "I guess master... I guess Ivan and I will have to hold you to your words." She nodded silen

Two hundred and ten: Happily ever after
The man explained how his mother told them their deaths had been decided by the Andrews. When Ivan's real father found out about this, he told his wife to stay away on the day of his accident and protect his child while he remained in the car with a maid who agreed to sacrifice herself for the safety of her boss. They didn't want to drag anyone down with them but the woman insisted. So their enemies would be convinced and Ivan would be safe. “I can't believe this…” Ivan muttered to himself. Even Alfred was a little shaken by the story. He didn't know why they didn't include him in the plan, maybe because they knew he would never let them go ahead with it. He held back the urge to cry. Ivan felt like he was broken to pieces. “My mother…” he said softly and all eyes fell on him. “Where is she now? Do you know where she is?” His father seemed hesitant but nodded his head. “She attended your step mother's funeral to show her last respect. She came around sometimes just to check on yo

Two hundred and nine: His mother's location
Mr Shay felt grateful as his plane finally landed. He was never a man who enjoyed flights, he preferred to travel by road for a trip or even by water which he extremely detested. But he would be more than happy to travel by water than to ever step foot in a plane. Without wasting time, he hurried out of the plane with the maids assigned to him. They all helped him with his bags and loads as they walked into the airport. He noticed his son standing not too far from him, waiting for his arrival. He had not expected his son to be around for his arrival since Ivan said he had a white collar job. But he was very pleased to see him after his long trip. His lips spread into a wide smile as he walked towards his son. “Ivan, my dear boy!” He called out to him. Several men moved closer to Ivan at once in a defensive way and Mr Shay froze in his steps. Why was his son being guarded like some national treasure?“It's okay, he's my dad.” Ivan said to them and they backed away with each of th

Two hundred and eight: The airport
Ivan dressed up and went down for breakfast. On arriving at the dining table, LD was dressed up all nice and cutely and she wore a big smile on her face.She was dressed in a cute pink dress and her Goldie locks hair was made into two ponytails. Of all the beautiful accessories on her, her smile was the most beautiful. She was so beautiful that Ivan couldn't help the smile that worked up his face. “Well look at my beautiful girl,” he said as he picked her up from the ground and gave her a twirl.Her happy giggles filled the room and magically lifted the spirits of everyone sitting at the table. Truly, nothing could make a person more happy than a child's laughter. He placed her back on the floor and kissed her head. “You look amazing.”“Mommy says she wants me to look beautiful when my new baby brother or sister comes home. Can I have a baby brother?” LD asked with a bright smile on her face. The smile on Ivan's face disappeared in almost an instant. He flashed a smile at his daug

Two hundred and seven: Morning breakdown
The sun rose in the blue sky and spread its ray down on Ivan's face. Anticipation had kept him awake all night long, all he could do was think about his dad and his return that day. When his dad returned, he would really get answers about everything he wanted to know. Well hopefully that was. Would his dad really remember much? It had been decades ago, would his memory still be intact? That much worried him and kept him awake all night. His mother was gone and sadly before he could ask or even tell her anything. Not even a final goodbye. The memories of his mother lying lifelessly in her bed was to hunt him for a very long time. He never even knew when she was already falling sick, she seemed so healthy that he didn't even believe it at first when he found her in her bed. Oddly strange of her to ask a married man to pass the night at his mother's, that was what he believed but he went anyway. Those were the moments he would cherish forever. No wonder she hugged him so much that

Two hundred and six: Early flight back
They all went inside and sat at the dining table. The maids surrounded them and began serving slices of pies. LD climbed down from her seat that was next to her grandmother. “Daddy!” She wailed as she hurried to Ivan. Ivan immediately caught her in his arms and lifted her into his lap. “What's wrong? Is there something bothering you?” She nodded her head but said nothing. They all watched her in fear. Neither of them understood what was wrong with her to make her almost tear up and worry and anxiety swallowed them up as they waited for her to confess to her father. “Go ahead Darling, you can tell me anything.” Ivan said in a soft tone. Janet was already on her feet and she hurried to the other side of Ivan's chair where she could meet with LD's gaze. Placing her hand on her husband's thighs, she crouched down next to him. LD still remained silent in her father's lap with her arms wrapped around his neck.“Here, come on, whisper it in my ear.” Ivan leaned in closer to her with h

Two hundred and five: Her Majesty
The car pulled up at the front space of the mansion and their driver hurried down to open the door for them. Three smiling faces stood close to a fountain, standing impatiently for Ivan and his wife to arrive. The driver opened the door but no one got out. Alfred wondered what was keeping them but he declined when Mrs Banks said to go to them instead. He decided they would just wait for them to join them. “We'll be a minute.” Ivan said to his driver and the handsome young man nodded his head and gently slammed the door back. “Is there… is there a problem?” Mrs Banks asked again but Alfred's decision to wait behind still stood. “They'll come out eventually, let's just wait and see what is going on first.” Alfred responded in a respectful manner and Mrs Banks nodded her head. Mr Banks didn't bother to protest or even utter a word. He knew that if he were to speak, he would have to break his perfect smile and he worried he would not be able to get a smile as perfect as that again.

Two hundred and four: His own happy ending plan
Heather stood there, stunned, just as every other woman standing in the room. She was sure she had never heard London laugh before. She hadn't even seen the girl smile ever since she was brought to the shelter. Janet hadn't expected less though. Living with Ivan for over five years, she knew the kind of soul he was and she trusted that whatever he put his mind to, he was sure to achieve it. She couldn't have been more proud of him. Ivan carried little London back to his wife and Heather. “London, say hello to your new mom.” Janet smiled and waved at her. “Hello, my name is Janet.” “Hi, I can call you mom, right? Or do you want me to call you Janet?” London sharply responded with a smile. Janet chuckled softly. “You're such a smart little girl. You can call me mom,” she reached forward and gently smoothened London's Goldie locks hair. “I'd like that.” London smiled and nodded her head. “Will you carry me in your arms?” Janet opened her arms wide for her. “Come here.”London unw

Two hundred and three: London
Ivan managed to wear a smile on his face even though his heart was shattered to pieces. “Hello there, my name is Ivan.” He said with the brightest smile he could summon. “Do you want to tell me your name?”She silently stared at him, although it seemed as though she wasn't as scared as before. Yet she didn't utter a single word and neither did her gaze leave Ivan. “You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I don't force you to do anything you don't want to do. Although I would really like to know your name. I bet it must be as pretty as your eyes.” Ivan spoke softly. Even though he already knew what her name was, he was hoping to hear her say it to him. “London…” the scared little girl responded softly, almost as soft as a whisper. Ivan smiled brightly from his heart now, a smile that reached his eyes. “I knew it, I knew it would be something pretty. Do you remember my name, London?” She nodded her head, her knees folded in front of her to rest on her chest. “Do you want t

Two hundred and two: At the orphanage
Breakfast was served the next morning and as Ivan had mentioned, they had small talks about the best choice of orphanage to go to and the list had been summed up to the best three. “Okay,” Alfred started. “So we are down to smile orphanage, bright sun and victorious home. And the decision is down to you, young master Wayne. Which one would you like to go to today?” Ivan relaxed into his seat and let himself think for a minute before answering. “I got it!” All eyes fell on him as he exclaimed. “Today, well go to bright sun orphanage,”“Excellent choice young master Way–”“I'm not finished.” Ivan cut Alfred off. “Today, we'll go to bright sun orphanage, tomorrow, we'll go to smile and the day after, we'll go to victorious home.” Alfred was thrown into a pit of confusion. “You… you want to visit all three places?” His brow arched subconsciously as he questioned. “Why not? Jane wants to adopt three kids after all, nothing limits us to adopting from one place or is there a rule or some
