The hidden heir of Wayne One seventy four: At the café
Just a few months ago…Tara laid on her bed, her conscience eating her up like a ravaging parasite as it has always done ever since she got with Charlie. How could she know so much about his evil plots and not say anything to anyone just because she didn't want to lose anything. Because she didn't want any loss, she chose to let other innocent people suffer. An idea popped into her head and she didn't even bother to think it twice before doing it. She would feel less guilty if she had someone to tell everything to or at least something. Her mother was the least person for her to talk to. The woman was barely around and she knew she could never depend on her the day she saw a scar on her and Tara confessed it to be Charlie's doing. Unlike what she had expected, her mother told her to endure the pain so she could enjoy a bright future in comfort and wealth. She was an only child with only fake friends around her to spend money with her. She could have had one true friend at least
The hidden heir of Wayne One seventy five: The engagement breaker
The small group of friends and family went silent and watched Ms Wayne do her thing. She reached into her bag and took out a laptop and some wires. “What are we going to do with all of these wires?” Trevor's brow arched as he asked. He couldn't hold in his question any longer and he wasn't really the kind to watch in silence and patience like the rest of his group. But Ms Wayne didn't mind his question and gave him an answer without breaking her focus from her work. “I'm going to connect four androids together. This phone,” she pointed at Charlie's phone, “this phone,” Tara's phone, “my own phone and my laptop. All of them will be linked together.” “Why do you need to connect them together? And why is your phone a part of it?” He watched intently at what she was doing as he laid down another question. “Well you see,” Ms Wayne started. “These two phones–” Tara's and Charlie's, “--both hold secrets that we all need to know. It would be stupid of us to take the risk of going through
The hidden heir of Wayne One seventy six: Putting the plan together
The group dispersed to stretch their limbs while the files were being transferred and Ivan went outside the café for some air. He couldn't take his mind off the things he had seen on Tara's phone no matter how hard he tried. He wished he hadn't opened the phone yet but what difference would it make? He would still see the images later on anyways. The sun shone less than it had before as the evening breeze began settling in. He raised his hand to check the time on his wrist watch. About three hours had passed since she started the transfer, how long would they have to wait? More importantly, what kind of files were on the phone– both phones that three hours weren't enough to transfer everything? Or was she having some difficulties but didn't want to alarm them? He had too much to worry about these days. His mind was starting to wear off and he told himself he would go on a long vacation with his wife and step son when everything was settled. He nodded his head to confirm his own
The hidden heir of Wayne One seventy seven: Good old sex
Vienna felt a smile work up on her face. The night before, Ivan had promised her a night she would never forget in a thousand years but he ended up leaving her behind to attend the dinner with the Banks family. While she worked at the hospital, he told her they were already putting the evidence together and once they were done, he would spend the entire night with her. She quickly wrapped up with her work and left her son in the care of the personal maid Alfred had hired for her. Ever since Alfred moved out of the mansion with all the other maids and returned to the Wayne residence, she was all alone so he hired a few new faces to help keep the house tidy since it was too big of a job for one person anyway. Her personal maid was Frankie, a young and beautiful brunette with bright blue eyes and a warm character. “Be a good boy okay?” Vienna said to her son. “Frankie will play with you all you want tonight, mommy has to work outside tonight.”“Again?” Williams heaved a sigh. “Yes,
The hidden heir of Wayne One seventy eight: Her first words
The aroma of fresh coffee caressed his nostrils as he lifted the cup to his mouth. Taking a sip, he dropped his cup back to the table and continued with his meal. Vienna watched him in silence as he ate without uttering a word. After such an erotic experience, he just got up and went straight into the shower then changed into a comfy black hoodie and free black tracksuit pants. Still not saying anything about what happened earlier, he asked her to join him for dinner which she silently did. She could barely focus on her own food from all the discomfort she was feeling. She cleared her throat rather loudly than normal but he pretended as if he hadn't heard her and just ate his food. “Ivan,” she called out his name and was surprised that he barely gave her a response. Rather than responding, he arched his brow in response without taking his eyes off his food. She didn't mind his method of response, instead, she continued on with the conversation. “Where did you go today?” “Didn't
The hidden heir of Wayne One seventy nine: Her love confession
The room was silent for more than a minute. Ivan remained on his seat with his eyes fixed on Janet while she stared back as if nothing out of the ordinary had just happened. “You speak.” He finally managed to get the words to leave his mouth. “I always did.” She responded plainly.Ivan let out a soft laugh. “What exactly were you trying to gain by pretending not to be able to speak when the others were here?” “I was saving my first words for you. I know we didn't quite end things properly before…” “Before you suddenly passed out? Yeah, we didn't.” Ivan completed her words for her. “What happened to me? I feel some slight pains in my stomach–” she reached for the blanket over her lower body to lift it but Ivan held her hand and she looked up at him with a mix of confusion and surprise. “You… you were on some… pills.” He said and her eyes widened.“How do you know that?” She asked surprisedly. Her hands moved away from her blanket as she stared at him. “That's what happened to yo
The hidden heir of Wayne One eighty: A wedding night to remember
The room fell into yet another awkward silence, both staring at each other as if anger was the thread that pulled them together. Ivan wondered how a woman could be determined to ruin another life for her favor. The rest of the night went by in silence. Morning came and Alfred gave word of his departure and asked for the go ahead to handle Charlie's matter that day. Ivan gave him a go ahead and thanks to all their proof, Charlie was easily apprehended. The entire school was left in awe and the Graham's family, shaken. For the charge of bullying for many years all through college, attempted murder that led Ivan to a coma, attempted murder once again by hiring an assassin, for assaulting a woman woman severally and also attempting to murder her multiple times out of his rage, he was sentenced to forty years imprisonment and forced to receive medical help from rehabilitation center.Ivan couldn't help but to feel bad after the deed had been done but there was nothing else that could
The hidden heir of Wayne One eighty one: A life lesson learned the hard way
Everyone watched in silence and awe as Janet turned away from Ivan, escaping his hold, and walking away. She climbed up the stairs in silence and went straight to her bedroom. Ivan let out a sigh as he let his eyelids fall for a minute to regain himself. He turned around and found all eyes were on him. Trevor rose to his feet and dragged Ivan away from the dining table. Arriving at Ivan's room, he slammed the door behind himself and grumbled angrily. “What the hell is wrong with you? Huh? What kind of trick were you trying to pull out there?” Ivan looked at him as if he was confused. “What are you talking about? Weren't we both worried about her earlier?” “Yes we were but in a situation where she walked in like that, I should have been the one to run to her and not you! Why would you hijack my chance to show her how much I care about her huh?” Trevor couldn't hide his anger as he spoke. “I didn't hijack anything, you were just too slow. It didn't look like you were going to stan

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
