"It's simple, you said it yourself once. They want to break your father's heart. Losing you, would definitely make your father sad. And probably give up his rights to the throne." Lucian explained. "No dad would never do that." Kimberly said. "Then what could make him give up the throne? Listen if people are hunting you it only means there's a plan within their plan." Lucian reminded. "You have a point. If they wouldn't benefit from killing me then they wouldn't bother at all." Kimberly said. "Exactly." Lucian nodded. "So how do we find out about what they're planning?" Kimberly asked. "I need you to contact your mother." Lucian said. "Really?" Kimberly asked. "Yeah." "And tell her what?" Kimberly asked. "Our theory. Come on call her, your father may not believe you." Lucian said. "Dad wouldn't..." "Think about it, if your uncle is really behind everything and your dad still hasn't found the orchestrator... Which means your dad trusts his brother so much." Lucian
"Where's Dominic?" Alexander asked. "He's probably in his office." Bethany replied. "I'll have my men bring him in." After a while a few guards walked in. "Your majesty, Dominic has left the country." The lead guard reported. "Where did he go?" Bethany asked. "He booked a flight out of the country but we're not sure where." They replied. "Find out where he is?" Alexander yelled. "Yes, your majesty." They replied bowing and excusing themselves. "Honey do you think that he is going after Kimberly?" Bethany asked. "Why would he...?" Alexander asked. "This is the time for you to face your fears and stop giving your brother the benefit of the doubt. I have to call Kimberly and ask her to be careful." Bethany said. **** Fifteen hours later. Dominic arrived in Canada and decided to take a two hour break. "Have you found the address of my niece?" Dominic asked. "Yes, sir." "Let's go." Dominic ordered. "But sir, it's dangerous I don't think the princess would welco
"Ian what are you doing, are you okay?" Lilly asked. "Yes, I just have something to say." Ian said. "Really? What is it?" Lily asked and Ian brought out a red velvet box. And Lily smiled. "Lily Stark, from the bottom of my heart, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Ian asked. "I didn't know you were this cheeky Ian seriously." Lily smiled. "And thank you, for surprising me. And yes I will marry you. But..." Lily said. "But?" Ian asked his heart in his throat. "If you slide that ring in my finger." Lily said and Ian immediately slid the ring into her fingers and Lily helped him up and he kissed her while the guests applauded. "Congratulations Lily." Lucian smiled as he hugged her. "Thanks Lucian." "Congratulations Lily." Kimberly said hugging her. "Thanks Kimberly." "See, I told you, you can do it." Kimberly said with a smile. "Yeah, thanks." Ian smiled back. Everyone congratulated Lily and Ian till the party came to an end. **** It was Monday m
Anderson sighed at his troublesome best friend. "Well just be you and she would probably fall in love with you." Anderson said. "Okay, does that mean I should try hanging out more with her?" Adrian asked. "Okay, but try not to make it too obvious." Anderson said. "Should I stalk her?" Adrian asked. "Like you haven't been doing that for years." Anderson said rolling his eyes. "I only stalk her on social media okay." Adrian glared back. "Well I guess stalking her in reality wouldn't be too hard then. But don't let her catch you." Anderson reminded. **** Cleopatra and Lunel decided to go visit someone. They walked into the house and the maids welcomed them. "How is he?" Cleopatra asked the doctor. "The same, he's expecting you I guess." The doctor said. Cleopatra and Lunel walked into the room and saw an old man over eighty seated on his bed. "Grandpa." Cleopatra called out. "Princess." Brad Wallace smiled when he saw Cleopatra. "How are you doing today grandpa?"
They finally finished their dinner and Jordan helped old Brad back to his room. It was very lively down the stairs because Isabella, Anderson and Karen were playing and talking really loud. Well Brad Wallace could rest because his room was a bit sound proof. The next morning. Jordan went to check on Brad Wallace before the doctor arrived. "Grandpa." He called out. "Grandpa?" Jordan called out again holding his hands. "No." Jordan sobbed. Cleopatra walked into the room and saw Jordan crying. "What's wrong?" Cleopatra asked. "Grandpa's..." Jordan sobbed and Cleopatra walked towards the lifeless body of Brad. "No! Grandpa!" Cleopatra sobbed. Everyone found out Brad Wallace passed and they had to prepare for a funeral. "I'm sorry about yesterday." Anderson said to Isabella. "What?" Isabella asked "You know I talked about Gran passing?" Anderson said with a sad expression. "It's not your fault. I guess even grandpa knew it too. That he was dying, probably why he
Adonis pecked Sophie on her forehead and decided to go back inside with her and soon he left with his parents. "Mom." Isabella called out. "What is it Bella?" Cleopatra asked. "How are you feeling?" Isabella asked. "I'm just... I'm fine." Cleopatra replied. "You know you can cry in my arms if you want." Isabella said and Cleopatra chuckled lightly. "I'm serious mommy. I know what Gran means to you." Isabella said. "I'm just sad... Jordan and I... Your grandfather was one of the people that raised us. To Jordan he was his father, his mother and also his grandfather. And I was close to grandpa too, I lived with him for a long time before I married your dad." Cleopatra said. "And I told you you can cry in my arms if you want. I'm not Anderson in case you don't feel like crying in front of your son." Isabella said. "Don't be silly." Cleopatra said and Isabella hugged her. "I love you mom." "I love you too sweetie." Cleopatra said. "Come it's time to talk ab
Adonis saw the duo from a far and walked towards them. "Don't worry I'll try my best to come I promise." Sophie said. "Thanks." Leonel forced a smile. "You can always call me and I'll come outside to pick you up." Leonel said. "Why would your guards stop me?" Sophie asked. "Probably. But since you have an invitation they'll let you in." Leonel added. "Hey babe." "Oh hey." Sophie smiled hugging Adonis. "Oh, hi." Adonis said to Leonel "Hello." Leonel replied. "Okay Sophie I'll see you around." Leonel said. "Likewise." Sophie smiled. "What's up with him?" Adonis asked. "Oh nothing much. Let's go grab lunch." Sophie said. "Okay." Adonis nodded with a smile that soon faded. He wondered what Sophie and Leonel discussed that she was keeping from him. **** In Peterson's home his wife was busy ordering the maids around. Her father in-law law and mother in-law arrived a few days ago. She had to make them feel welcomed. So she was preparing a big dinner. "Wher
"Come let's go inside." Leonel said. "Is everyone here a business partner?" Sophie asked. "No, my family is also here. It's my father's birthday remember?" Leonel reminded. "Oh, I see." "Come I'd like to introduce you to my mom and then maybe we can sneak out." Leonel said. "Why don't you want to stay? It's your father's birthday and he's also talking about his business." Sophie said. "Yeah, and such talks are boring." Leonel said rolling his eyes. "Well, I need to get home by ten." Sophie said. "What? Why? But the party is just starting?" Leonel asked. "I'm not leaving now, I'm leaving by ten else dad would surely punish me for disobeying his rules." Sophie said. "That's okay, I wouldn't want you to get punished because of me." Leonel said. Lily saw Leonel from afar and decided to ask Peterson. "Uncle look at Leonel over there, who is that girl with him?" Lily asked. "I'm not entirely sure, I guess we'll find out when Leonel make the introductions."
Sophie was finally discharged from the hospital. Adonis was really worried when he arrived home and found out Sophie had an accident. "Sophie you can still come home with us if you want you know?" Charlotte said. "No, mom I still want to school here and... You guys aren't leaving me just yet right?" Sophie asked. "Of course not. And someone is here to see you." "Grandma." Sophie called out hugging Nancy Chase. "Oh my sweet little girl." Nancy Chase said hugging her. "I missed you so much Grandma." Sophie said. "Me too, and I came with someone else." "Who?" Sophie asked. "Grandma." Sophie called out hugging Kira, Arthur's mom. "Sorry I invited so many old people to see you Sophie, but there's someone else here to see you." Lunel said. "Grandpa? Aunt Lauren. It's so good to see you guys." Sophie smiled. "Of course Sophie, we had to come see you." Reddington smiled hugging Sophie. "I'm so glad you two came to see me." Sophie said hugging Lauren. "Yeah, I'm th
Charlotte asked one of the drivers to send Alec home first but Alec insisted he wanted to see his sister. They saw people gathering and Charlotte decided to check it out as well but was surprised one of the victims was her daughter Sophie. "No, Sophie." Charlotte sobbed. Sophie and Leonel were rushed to the hospital. After a few hours Leonel woke up. There wasn't much injury on him he just had a few bruises and cuts which would heal soon enough because he was wearing a helmet. "How's Sophie?" Charlotte asked. "She's in a coma. Also she has a fracture in her hand. She broke a bone as well. But it would heal with time." The doctor said. "No, no." Charlotte sobbed hugging Arthur. "Sophie's going to be okay, honey." Arthur said patting her back. "How is Sophie?" Peterson asked. "Are you happy now? My daughter is in a coma because of you and that son of yours. If anything happens to my little girl I swear I will kill you." Charlotte threatened. "I regret ever falling
"We met in UK, he was our neighbor." Charlotte replied. "Oh I see." Alec nodded. "Can I use the restroom?" Charlotte asked. "Of course I'll show you the way." Peterson said and Claudia frowned she wondered why Peterson invited Charlotte over. "Peterson what sick game are you playing?" Charlotte asked as soon as they were alone. "Playing? I should be asking you that Charlotte." Peterson said. "And why is that? Why can't you just leave my family alone, you have a family of your own now a wife and a son. Why are you pestering me and my husband?" Charlotte asked angrily. "Why didn't you tell me about Sophie?" Peterson asked. "What about Sophie?" "That she's my daughter." Peterson replied. "You're my father?" Sophie asked walking towards them. Everyone in the dinning headed towards the direction Charlotte and Peterson were when they heard voices. They all heard Peterson saying Sophie was his daughter. "Sophie." Charlotte called out. "Mom what is he taking about?" So
Peterson opened the test results and read through it, he was surprised that his DNA matched Sophie's. That means Sophie was his daughter. But why would Charlotte keep it from him, why would she lie to him? After all the years, was that why she kept her distance? Peterson decided he was going to invite Charlotte and her family over for dinner and as a matter of fact his father would be there. He was grateful Kyle and his wife hasn't returned yet so they would be invited too. He dialed Leonel's number. "Hey dad." Leonel said. "Son, I need to ask you a favor." "What is it dad?" Leonel asked. "That girl Sophie do you happen to have her contact?" Peterson asked. "Of course dad." "Do you mind if you give it to me?" Peterson asked.b "Eh why?" Leonel asked. "You see her mom and I lost contact and I would like to invite them for dinner tomorrow night." Peterson said. "Oh, okay." Leonel shrugged. He texted Peterson Sophie's number. He dialed the number and Sophie answe
The driver and bodyguard were confused as to what to do, they didn't want to disobey their boss. And now the young mistress wants them to do something else by putting them in a compromising situation. "We'll take you there Miss." They said. If they left the duo alone and something happens to them they would be blamed and they would surely lose their jobs either way. "Sophie think about what you're doing? Dad asked us to go home but you're disobeying him." Alec said. "Listen Alec, I know you want to be the obedient kid here but... Not today, I want to know if mom is really sick. And if she is, I want to know what's wrong." Sophie said. "Whatever, if we're caught it's all on you." Alec said. **** "Charlotte, did something happen at the mall?" Arthur asked "I saw Peterson." Charlotte replied. "What? You saw Peterson?" Arthur asked. "Yes." "What's he doing in New York? And did he see you?" Arthur asked. "Yeah, and he is Leonel's father." Charlotte replied. "What? So
Sophie returned to her room to change her clothes. She was still upset with Adonis and he still hasn't called to apologize. Sophie headed down the stairs and saw her mother and brother waiting. "Where's dad?" She asked. "He would meet us at the mall." "Okay." Sophie nodded with a smile. They got into the car and headed to the mall while Sophie just stared out the window absentmindedly. "Sophie is everything okay?" Charlotte asked. "Yeah, I'm fine mommy." Sophie said. "Your dad said you've been moody since you came back home yesterday did something happen at the party?" Charlotte asked. "No, mom nothing happened, everyone at the party was super nice." Sophie said. "Then did something else happen other than the party?" Charlotte asked. "My boyfriend happened." Sophie replied. "What happened to him?" Charlotte asked. "He's upset I went to the party without informing him." Sophie replied. "Well why didn't you tell him about it? Isn't your boyfriend friends with t
"I didn't let you finish really? Why would you go to their house?" Adonis asked. "First of all the party isn't held in their house and secondly, it's an official party and birthday party. So yes, stop being paranoid." Sophie said. "Why didn't you tell me you were going to a party in the first place?" Adonis asked. "Must I tell you everything? Besides, it slipped my mind." Sophie said. "I'm sure it did." Adonis said disconnecting the call. "Hello? Hello Adonis are you there?" Sophie asked as she noticed the call was disconnected. "I have to go Leonel." Sophie said. "Are you sure?" Leonel asked. "Yeah, it's two minutes to ten. I should just say my goodbyes to your family. You sure you'd be okay on your own?" Sophie asked. "Yeah, I'll manage. You already helped me endure most part." "I have to go now Mr Stark." Sophie smiled at Peterson. "Oh, but it's still early." Peterson said. "My dad would be upset if I come home a minute past his curfew." "Of course, father's don'
