In a very spacious building that was handpicked by the Chase family as the venue for the most important day of their lives in years.There were people that were seriously decorating the place, giving it final touches.The one in charge of decorations (event planner) was giving orders because the Chase family are known to be very prestigious, thereby they love it when the place is well decorated and cleaned.It was sparkling and there was no speck of dust in the event venue.Tonight was the day where Mr Reddington, who has gone silent, would be coming out for the first time in over ten years since the death of his family as believed by the world.It is such a rare occasion whereby he would not only be showing his face but will also be handing over the company to a new heir.So it was a great day for everyone, they needed to make sure it was the grandest kind, a lot of high classed people will be in attendance.Everything was getting well arranged in preparation for that occasion."Mr R
Peterson Stark got home after 9 whole years of separation."Look who came back home, honey?" Mr Aiden Stark said."Hi Mom… hi dad." Peterson greeted awkwardly."My beloved son, look how much you've grown. I thought you weren't ever coming home." His mother uttered."Well, I wanted to be away from the family, I needed a life of my own." Peterson uttered."You left as a young boy and now you came as a full grown man. That's wonderful." Mr Aiden Stark uttered and Peterson smiled at his father."Peterson sweetie, I can hardly recognize how you've become an adult. I have missed 9 years of your life. Please tell me you came home for good this time." Mrs Stark uttered."I have also missed you mum honestly, you are so beautiful, the same way I saw you years ago." Peterson uttered."Of course darling, you can't blame a woman for having to care for herself every once in a while. Besides, I still have years ahead. My baby come closer, sit close to me." Mrs Rose Stark uttered.Peter then walked c
Apparently tonight is the night where the handover party will be taking place in one of the most spacious buildings there is.The party venue is in one of the most renowned locations in the whole of the United Kingdom (UK).The whole place was packed and it was well lit, the reporters were all trooping in.Presenters from all channels were present to take coverage of the entire event and broadcast it to the world.Flashlights could be seen reflecting from all angles, it was really packed.All the important guests were present, anyone who was anyone in the city and around the world were present, those who couldn't make it were watching it live.The reporters were making sure not even the slightest details were left out.Everyone was busy chatting and it was fun to watch.Carlos Chase and his wife Nancy were both looking dazzling and so they kept greeting their guests side by side.Nancy is a beauty, so when she dolls up everyone wows when they set their eyes on her."Thank you for grac
Yvonne and Oliver Dwayne were seated together and watching intently as well."Honey I thought you guys were close, why didn't you go to the event?" Yvonne asked."No it's just changing over uh… the owner of the Empire so why should I be there? It's just regular stuff, no big deal. Besides, I don't want to spend too much money anymore. You know we have to pay the debt in a day's time." Oliver Dwayne uttered."You are so thoughtful I don't know what I did in my past life to deserve someone like you." Yvonne retorted "Stop with the flattery. I am more honored to have you in my life." And continued; "Come on, let's watch the show. I believe Mr. Reddington Chase has decided to quit because he has gotten old.""You're right I am pretty sure that it is his niece that he'll be put in there besides she's still young and has accomplished a lot in the company so I've heard." Yvonne uttered."Of course it's his niece Charlotte that should be placed there because there's no one else… there's no o
'Why did he have to faint, didn't he know that he was alive? Wait, Carlos must have been hiding something from me, when he wakes up he has a lot to answer for. He should be happy it's his nephew after all. Reddington does know how to make an entrance and an impact in the society. I am loving him even more.' Tristan thought as he sips on his wine watching from a distance.The reporters left no place, in fact nothing uncovered so to speak.After the commotion whereby Carlos Chase was taken to the hospital, the entire place came back to normalcy."Sorry about what just happened I guess it is from eating too much carbs, my brother will be fine getting back to today's okay meet luno Chase my only son and the air to Acorn Crafts Empire." Mr Reddington uttered.Everyone present began to applaud ever so loudly."So I leave the stage for the new owner of a contrast son you have the stage." Reddington uttered and nudged for his son to speak.Lunel Chase then stood at the podium and began with h
"Honey you just woke up okay and please do not even begin to ask me what happened at the party. I asked you to be sure of everything, for us to avoid all of this embarrassment. I asked you, Carlos if you're sure your brother would really give company to our daughter, look how you made a fool of us most especially me. I even invited lots of women, threw a tea party, and dressed really well all for what? Humiliation?" Nancy Chase uttered sternly."Just shut up okay, I just woke up." Carlos Chase uttered, holding his head in pretense. When he fainted he hit his dead so hard on the floor that was why he felt a level of pain."I know that what you did there by fainting was all a show, you are too dramatic. You didn't actually faint, you did that to escape the humiliation that would have emanated from what happened. So do not for one second think that you would ever fool me with that." Nancy Chase conveyed."How could Reddington just choose to disgrace me like that and out there in public o
It was all over the news that the Chase family had gotten an heir.Everywhere you go, it is evident that is the only thing you would hear.Even in the salon, the women were busy crushing on the young heir, wishing that he was theirs."If only I could have this man to myself there is nothing I would ever ask for because he is so cute." One of the hairstylists uttered."You wish." Her customer replied."I am being serious. Do you know what it means to be the wife of the young heir of The Chase family? I don't think you know what it means, let me remind you. It means houses, cars , power, respect and fame everything combined." The hairstylists retorted."That's of course true if only you can have him." Another hairstylist retorted."He better not be married because if he is, I might have to love a polygamy home." The customer replied and they all chuckled.In this salon, Mr Simeon Alverz was there with his girlfriend, waiting patiently for her to do her hair when he stumbled on the news.
Oliver Dwayne went to Mrs Cooper's home and so hard drinking a glass of wine and looking all time and the press and all that shit.Her husband is nowhere to be found he's supposed from our son-in-law is now the most richest and powerful man in the world combined with the fact that they were going to broke with each second what's making her sad and angry and disoriented."Aunt, why on earth are you this way?" He asked."Come on Dwayne, don't act like that I am not drunk okay? I was just simply drinking, why are you here so early in the morning anyways, is my daughter okay?" Mrs Sarah Cooper asked."Yvonne is a little bit down after watching the news from last night, other than that, she's okay. It's just that today is the deadline whereby we will have to pay the $20 million dollars or we would have a huge debt on our hands." Oliver Dwayne stated."Oh that, anyways um the truth of the matter is, how do we go about it?" Mrs Sarah Cooper uttered."The $20 million debt wouldn't have been h
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'
"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."
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
