The hidden heir of Wayne One thirty two: Phase one
The café was the same as the day before, of course it was. But the staff still remembered her face and the scene she and her guest created, judging from the way they were looking at her and the same guest. The thoughts that were probably running through their minds was that she was having a fight with her lover and they had come together to settle their disputes. She ordered herself a cup of iced americano and sat with her back straight with her arms crossed beneath her breast. She glared at Bradley with a death stare and he patiently waited for her to speak up. Even though she was waiting for him to speak as well. She cleared her throat, after realizing that Bradley wouldn't be speaking any time soon. "Why didn't you tell me about your family?" Bradley scoffed. "Have you forgotten that your family threw me away?" "Damn it Bradley!" She slammed her hand against the table. "Not them! Me! I was always there for you! What did you think? That I couldn't report you to the police and
The hidden heir of Wayne One thirty three: The ultimate black card
Ivan applauded her entrance as Vienna strode into the living room. A big smile played on his face as he watched her with an approving gaze. "Thank you, thank you." She bowed her head with a smile on her face. She was proud of herself as well. Who knew she had it in her to be so strict that she could incite fear into a man like her brother in law?"I have to admit, I didn't know you had in you. I was very surprised but pleased at your success." Ivan admitted. "Come here." She ran into his open arms and he gave her a gentle squeeze. "I was so scared, I couldn't bring myself to say those mean words about hurting his family." She said as she buried her head into her chest. Ivan patted her head gently. "I'm sorry I made you say those kinds of words." She shook her head then looked up into his eyes. "It's alright, I understand that it was for the best. If I hadn't said those words to him, I'm pretty sure he'd be on his way to Jacob right now to tell him about the deal I made with him."

The sky darkened over the residence of the Shay's. Mrs Shay took a sip from the pot of boiling soup on the gas and exhaled a sigh as a smile of satisfaction made its way to her face. "Honey! Dinner is ready!" She yelled out for her husband to come down for dinner. Mr Shay made his way down the stairs with hurried steps and sat himself down on one of the chairs in the dining room. "My love, I made a wonderful discovery today, like I was saying before you asked me to go up and shower first." Mr Shay said with a big smile on his face.Mrs Shay let her eyes roll skywards as she set the table for them to eat. "Yeah yeah, I can remember clearly what I said."She sat down and took out a spoon to start eating. She had prepared some rice and chicken soup for them, after her husband requested for chicken soup before leaving the house that morning. "So tell me," Mrs Shay continued. "Where did you go today that kept you out way until dark?" "I was going through the old cupboard in our bedroo

"Seems like our time is up for now, remember to go through today's work and don't forget your assignment. If you perform well on this then I can proudly assure you a spot on the graduation seats." Their lecturer announced to the students as they all packed up their books and laptops and other equipment. Ivan took out his phone from his pocket and clicked on messages. Fishing out Vienna's name, he clicked on it and started typing. "Hey, are you busy at work? Can we meet up? I'd like to know if you're free to talk." As he sent the text, he made to return the phone to his pocket but it chimed and he immediately raised it back to his face. "Just got out of surgery, I could use a break. Let's meet up at the burger place close to the hospital if it's fine with you." A smile worked its way to his lips as he texted her back. "I'll be there in thirty minutes tops, see you in a bit." He tucked his phone back into his pocket and rose to his feet but a hand pushed him back to his seat force
The hidden heir of Wayne One thirty six: The marriage proposal
The street was crowded with people of all heights and sizes. Ivan pushed his way through them and walked into the burger place where Vienna was waiting for him.She raised her hand and waved at him the moment she saw him walk into the place. A big smile played on her face as he walked over to her. He smiled back at her as he made his way to her table. "Hey there beautiful." He said with a smile. He leaned closer to her and placed a kiss on her lips before sitting himself down on the chair opposite her. "Oh I know I saw you a few days ago but I miss you so so much." She whined like a baby. Ivan let out a soft chuckle. "I know right? I should have tried to visit you earlier but I was so busy. I really have missed out on a lot of things plus, the school is extra busy planning our convocation ceremony and I'm so so stressed out by it." He groaned. She placed her hand on his with a serene smile on her face. "I understand what you're going through, I've gone through it too but I assure
The hidden heir of Wayne One thirty seven: She said yes!
He didn't know whether she was going to be embarrassed by his proposal or not so Ivan did his best to keep it on a low key. Vienna's eyes stared at the ring with so many emotions mixed together and her heart raced like crazy. "If you'd like me to keep it away for now, I promise you that I understand and I will do just that--""What? Are you crazy? Put what away?" She questioned him with wide eyes. Pushing her chair back, she rose to her feet and bellowed. "Everyone! My boyfriend is proposing!" Ivan was shocked by her sudden action and he felt even more awkward when all eyes fell on him. Some people stared at him and Vienna with admiration while others cheered them on. Vienna shrieked excitedly as Ivan, who felt like that was the only reasonable thing to do, fell on one knee and opened the box again while lifting it closer to her. "V... Uh... Will you marry me, Vienna Fawn?" He stuttered a little. She let out an excited shriek as she danced for a moment before screaming yes about
The hidden heir of Wayne One thirty eight: All over the internet
"A young man was seen yesterday entering a car known world wide as the property of the Wayne family, every single person is wondering who he is. Perhaps, could he be the missing heir that wind has been blowing past our ears about for a while now?" A young man wrote on his page before posting a video of Ivan's back as he entered the car plus extra shots of the car alone. The internet was flooded with posts like that and different pictures of Ivan, except no one was quick enough to get a photo of his face. Mr Andrews scrolled through the countless numbers of posts all having similar title and others that were just tagged "hash tag, heir of Wayne" "Why won't anyone show me a picture of his face?!" He growled angrily as he threw his phone across the room. He rubbed his face and heaved a heavy sigh before relaxing into his chair. He heard a knock on his door that brought him to sit upright as his eyes traveled quickly to where the sound came from. The door pushed open and a face that

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
