Daniel froze as soon as a squad encircled him, and so did Patricia. She knew that he had made a call to Abigail, but it had taken some days and she did not think that they would come for her, at least not until she was dead and long forgotten, just as Daniel has threatened her.
Abigail rushed to her immediately to untie her, first removing the gag that enclosed her mouth, while Declan hurried to pick up his nephew Damian from where he played in the sand.
"Daddy!" the little boy called out to him excitedly. Since he had been taking care of Patricia and him, she had made her son regard him as his father.
Declan did not see so much wrong in that. It was hectic that he had other people's children look up to him as a father, which he had no problem with, but he could not have a child of his own.
Declan thought that it had been a while since he saw Hannah. She had barely spoken to him since he chose to send Samantha to the facility. The day she visited, Samantha had not been in a good position with her, and it had fueled her withdrawal.He had however kept her updated about the ongoings, and when she found out that Samantha was leaving, she was not too happy about it.It was a cool Sunday evening and he knew she would be home. She had asked Doctor Pat to always allow her off work on Sundays because she needed to spend some quality time with her kids for the intense week ahead.He decided to head there, and he got a box of toys on his way for the kids that regarded him as their father.He was not sure if he sti
Hesitation brewed in Abigail since she left the office and headed to the FBI chief's house. She did not want to do this, at least not alone, but she needed help, one that no one seemed interested in offering her.She saw the way the chief had planned a tactful attack on Daniel and gotten him behind bars and she only wished that Frank could be gotten out in the same vein.She had not bothered to tell Declan about it. He had a lot of things to worry about already, and it was her cross to carry. Everything related to Daniel's arrest and prison sentence was duly communicated to her, and last night, he had sent a request that he wanted to press charges in court.Abigail had wondered if it was for attention or to shake them a little to release him. Not everyone wanted a court scandal and he knew how much Declan liked to stay under the radar. He was one of the youngest billionaires in the country, but no one had been talking about him, because of how private he had kept his affairs.As s
It was a long ride but Abigail was finally at the station to get Frank. She did not know how to react. The mixed feelings that had fueled her for the longest time still bubbles within her. Her children had wanted to go with her, but they had to be in school. She was glad that she would have some time to spend with him alone. They would talk about how things would go on from there.He was sitting in the waiting room when she arrived and she stopped to look at him as he stood up and rubbed his hands together. His clothes were clean as though he had ordered some fresh clothes for his freedom. They were small too, as he had been working out endlessly in the prison. His shoulders were broader and his arms were bigger, and for a split second, a lustful thought crossed her mind which she shoved off immediately. He smiled at her and that was when she walked to him and embraced him tightly."I did not believe that I was going to miss you this much even after what you did," she said to h
It had been a whole month since Samantha left and Declan was beginning to pick up the pieces of his life.There were a lot of loopholes that had not been tended to, but with Daniel in prison, Hannah already working, no wife, and Patricia back in the city, he had a lot of time on his hands.He had decided to immerse himself in work so he would not think so much about all that had happened.He had decided to do exactly what Samantha said she would do, create a new life for himself and avoid bringing the mistakes of the past into his present. The people in his life were still dear to him.Samson had advised him to go to therapy so he could release all the negative energy.<
Dante was not joking when he told Hannah that he wanted custody of his kids.One of the biggest regrets of her life was telling him that he was the father to her children.She had begun to see the other side of him, just as he promised, and immediately she had rejected his proposal to date him.He was intent on humiliating her. He had told her that she would not have anyone to help her when he came for the children that she had struggled so hard to raise for many years.When he had come very early in the morning like he usually did on some days when they were still good friends, she thought that he wanted to see them before they left for school, but he had suggested that he drop them at school instead of
Chapter 140The long-awaited day of Samson's launch party finally came, and Hannah had been so excited about the party that she paid close attention to every detail, so she would not disappoint him.She was looking forward to talking with him about their relationship, even though he had shown valid signs that he was no longer interested in that with her.She had taken a few days off work and left her kids with a sitter, while she came to the city a day early.She had joined Declan on his plane, and he had been uneasy throughout the whole journey, as though there was something he was hiding, something that he would rather not say. She did not press him. She only looked forward to seeing
Hannah turned around sharply, as she could not still believe that she had come here without being invited.She suddenly felt stupid."Declan was just telling me in the office about how he had used his invite instead because you wanted to come," he explained, feeling very downcast all of a sudden.He was a bit unhappy that he had not bothered to send her an invite, and he knew that she would react this way."So why did you not invite me?" She asked him. "Because you were already banging on a new girl," she added, in a raised voice.He knew that Hannah would talk like this when she was annoyed. Abigail hung up on Declan in a hurry when she heard the doorbell from her study.She had been home all morning with her kids, as Sundays were a day of rest for her.Declan had called to express how devastated he was about Samantha's new boyfriend when they had almost had sex in the hallway.She had insisted that she thought that she just intended to make him a bit jealous, so he could keep his attention on her.He had decided that he would not back down but would keep reaching out to her until she succumbed to him.As she stood up from her study desk and headed to the door, her heart raced.Latest ChapterVindication of the Rejected Heir Chapter 142
