Vindication of the Rejected Heir Chapter 119
Declan stared at the sight before him for a moment as he tried to process what was going on before him. He only got out of his reverie when Samantha rushed to him for safety. Daniel stood there and just watched with a mischievous smirk on his face. Declan was speechless for a moment as he looked at his brother-turned-stranger and villain before him."Is this supposed to be a joke?" He asked, finding his voice at last. Daniel knew that he had done something wrong, but he did not feel like he needed to apologize to his brother."Well, I won't deny that you have a beautiful wife," he said with a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "I've never seen pregnancy look so sexually appealing," he added.Declan had had enough as he rushed to his brother and punched him in the face. There was a small ruffle between the two men, and none of them was willing to let go of the other."Stop it, both of you," Samantha cried out, and when they did not budge, she proceeded to make an effort to sepa

"I'm sorry it was a stillbirth," the doctor announced. "We tried all we could to resuscitate the child, but we could not help it," he added.Declan was not sure he had heard him correctly. He stood transfixed for a while.So many things were happening at the same time and it was difficult for him to process it all.Doctor Pat still stood there and Declan looked up at him again."Is there something wrong with my wife too?" He asked with trepidation in his voice. Doctor Pat nodded."I know that this is a lot to take in, but I still have to tell you again that her uterus was damaged from the impact," he explained.

Three days had passed and Samantha would not see anyone, even though she had been moved to a private ward.She barely allowed anyone to touch her, aside from the doctor and a nurse that had been assigned to her for her care.Declan would always watch her through the blinds as she stared outside the window with her back turned to him, at the tall hospital walls.The doctor had said that she was slowly losing her mind and he had been worried ever since.He had barely gone home since the accident. He worked, ate, slept, and even bathed in the hospital.He had told the doctor that it offered him a sense of intimacy with her, even though

Once Declan had given her his permission, Abigail went ahead to get Daniel arrested. It was not hard to find him. He had not been to the office since the incident, but he had been home, in the new apartment that came with privileges as part of company staff. He had panicked when he heard the police sirens from afar. He knew that Declan would surely want him to pay for his actions. He did not have anywhere to go. He had no place in the city any longer. The previous year, some fraudulent activities had been noticed in his Fintech company, and it had been closed down by the authorities. He did not have anything to fall back on afterward. He had been on an extravagant lifestyle and had squandered a lot of money. There were no viable assets in his name and he went broke. When he found out how much wealth Ferdinand, his father, had, he thought that the only way to get access to it and fill his empty pocket was to gain his pity and murder him afterward. He, however, had an excellent

A whole week had passed, and Samantha was still locked up in her ward, refusing to see anyone, with her back only turned to the door, and giving Declan the privilege to glimpse at her from the blinds.Declan had begged the doctor to allow him to see her, even against her will, but he would not let him. "She might become violent, and that is not what we want," Doctor Pat said. For a while, Declan was quiet. It was possible that he was not hearing alright. "Are you trying to say that my wife is losing her mind?" He asked the doctor. He was silent for a while."I did not mean for you to find out this way, but the past loss and these present losses are too much for her to handle," Doctor Pat explained. "It has tampered with her mind in some way, and if she gets upset any further, she might flare up," he added.Declan was rendered speechless for a while. This was all too much for him to handle. Here was his wife, a woman that he thought he would live the happiest moments of his life w

Hannah had just seen her children off to school. She was grateful for the bus, and it eased her stress.When the school year started, she was saddled with the responsibility of driving them every day.Declan had promised to get her a driver, but he never seemed to remember it because of how busy he was with work.He had been her major source of support and had asked her not to bother about anything.He had put a roof over her head, bought her everything she and the kids needed, gave her a monthly allowance, and she was to begin to work the following month in Doctor Pat's office, courtesy of him.He had accepted her and the kids

Daniel was on the loose. He felt like Superman, who had suddenly escaped everything that was thrown at him.He had tactfully answered the questions of the detectives at the police station, and he had gotten them so confused that they had no other option but to let him go.He was afraid nevertheless that they might charge him to court, and he needed something stronger to stand his ground than his little tricks every time.He arrived at the office early on the Monday morning of the first week of the first month.Everyone respected his presence as a son of Ferdinand, and he gloried in it.He demanded to be shown to the office that was meant f

It had been over two months since the doctor told them that their babies had high chances of survival as they showed massive improvements with their treatment. Samantha had stopped going to the office totally, and Declan had requested that an office space to be set up in the executive ward for him. Lucy was getting so much better and she was able to breastfeed the children as Samantha had required of her. It was as though they were living in the hospital with their children. Declan's heart swelled with joy with every inch that was added to their height, and every iota of flesh they put on. He would spend most of his time looking down on his boys, wondering if it was the same way his father looked at him and Daniel when they were babies. As he thought about Daniel, the events of the court's final verdict the previous week all came rushing back to him. He had always dreamed of the day Daniel would be sentenced to prison, and he would rejoice and rub it in his face. But on

Samantha was the first to notice his dazed expression once he was done with the phone call. He entered the private chamber of his office and stayed there.When she saw that he was not going to come out anytime soon, she went in there to search for him. "A celebrant can't leave his party, you know," she began in an attempt to lighten up his sour mood. He looked up at her and would not say a word. "What is going on?" She finally asked him. He dreaded saying anything to her. The news that he had just heard was capable of breaking her, and he did not want that for her. "You don't need to worry about it. I will fix it," he replied. "I did not ask you if you could fix it," she said. "I asked what was the matter," she was insistent. "Abigail just called me and she informed me that Lucy was rushed to the hospital," he finally spilled. "What are you talking about?" She asked, very bewildered. "Lucy was rushed to the hospital," he repeated. "And what are you doing about it?" She asked

The news about the court case had spread like wildfire, but Declan was not disturbed because he was on top of the case, gaining some level of victory over Daniel. The best part of it all was that he now had the judge on his side without having to try so much. It was in the course of these coincidences that he learned of the good legacy that his father had left behind because of his good deed. The judge had told him how he knew his father. When he kicked off his career as a barrister, he encountered different types of attacks from his rivals on the court. It was very unsafe for him and he was always running. One particular night, some armed men attacked him and beat him up so much that one could hardly recognize him except if they looked closely. He went about, knocking on doors and asking people for help, but no one would attend to him, especially because it was very late at night. They thought he was a thief or killer in disguise.Ferdinand was the only one who opened up to him.

Declan's eyes did not leave Georgina as she walked up to the witness box. He wondered what it was that she wanted to be a witness to. He saw the way she quivered as she stood there and he suspected that she had been coerced into doing what she did. He listened closely to her as she spoke, saying her vow on the holy book, even though everything that would come out of her mouth was all going to be lies. She did what he least expected. She said to the hearing of everyone in the court that she was raped by Declan the first time she came to be a surrogate for them.Declan was too stunned to say a word at all and just kept his eyes on her. She was crying bitterly. Looking intently at her, he was forced to wonder if these were just fake tears to back up her lie, or if it was a sign that she regretted betraying him. Daniel could have been the one coercing her to do this, but he did not say anything. His eyes still followed her as she walked down the witness box. She glanced at where Dan

If Declan could have collected all the pieces of evidence and witnesses he wanted in just a week or a month, it would not have been sufficient. But it took him three months, with Samantha solidly behind him. Micheal was not left out of the entire planning process for Daniel's court case. All they wanted to do was get him out of the way as soon as possible. To take down someone like Daniel, who hardly left any stone unturned or left loose ends, they needed to be well prepared, and Declan insisted that they were going to prepare well. The surrogacy plan kicked off in the second month. Lucy was giving off so many dangerous side effects at first that they kept wondering if her body could hold a child. She knew what she had gone through to produce a child that her body did not agree to. The one time that she thought she was close, was when the incident with Daniel happened. But Lucy's body adjusted afterward to the treatment. She began to respond positively and soon, she fell pregna

Declan paced about in the bedroom endlessly and Samantha was beginning to get dizzy from following him with her eyes. "You are going to bore holes in this floor if you don't stop pacing so much," she said to him. "That boy is making me go crazy," Declan said as he rubbed his forehead in exhaustion. Samantha wondered if it was Daniel he was calling a boy, but she resolved that there was no better way to refer to someone so petty than a boy. "What did he do this time?" She asked him gently, not wanting to piss him off further."He fired the entire members of the accounting department before I could come to the office," Declan complained. Samantha was left to wonder if Daniel was going insane or not. She had never seen someone that acted so much on impulse in an instant. He was so quick to act that one would think that he was not thinking at all. "I thought he was no longer CEO.""I nullified what he did immediately after I got the notice.""Then what are you worried about?""Don't

Samantha had never been pleased to hear the news before. Declan's agreement to still go ahead with having a child despite the Georgina drama was like music to her ears. She had not bothered to pester him about it anymore, as she did not want him to say he was right after all about Georgina. Instead, she had been more intentional about living her best life. She thought of the children back at the country home. They were enough to suffice for what she could not have. "Do you want to do an adoption or should we still search for a surrogate?" She asked him, deciding to lay all the cards on the table so they could deliberate together. She was not going to be selfish this time. Having a child was going to be a big step for them. It was not the financial aspect that bothered them. Declan's companies and businesses were worth an amount that could feed an entire city comfortably."We are both hoping to carry our child in our hands someday, so I guess surrogacy would not be a bad idea," he

"I will have to leave very early today," Micheal informed Declan ahead of time. He did not want to be faced with the challenge of having so much work that he could barely manage any spare time. "You have a date with your girlfriend, I guess," Declan said as he looked up at Micheal."Let's not say it's a date," Micheal began, blushing lightly. "It's just a little thing that I do with her every month," he explained. "What is that?" Declan asked, not feeling bad about prying. It was the same thing Micheal did as well. He could swear that Michael knew so many things about him that Samantha had yet to find out. He was very observant and he loved that about her. "We go to the prison for a visit before we head to the orphanage," Micheal said. "Shonda said she wants to own an NGO in Africa in the future, so this is a good start for us."Declan was highly impressed by this agenda. His father ran several orphanages and charitable homes before he died. It was conferred on him in the will. He

Daniel had been very cranky the entire week. First, all the money that he stole from the company's account had magically returned to it, and it still surprised him that they found out about the offshore account. He also received news that Declan hosted a birthday party over the weekend. He had not been invited nor did he have any knowledge about it. He knew what he could do with the knowledge of such a gathering. He was angry because, after months of being CEO, he had still not successfully convinced the board why he should take over the house. The will stated that it was primarily Declan's inheritance, and there was nothing that he could do about it. Declan, on the other hand, had suddenly banned him from entering the house. The security around it was toughened up so that no matter how much he tried to meander his way in, he would not succeed. This morning, Declan called for a board meeting that he said was going to be used to pass some information. He wished he could stop De
