Vindication of the Rejected Heir Chapter 197
Kennedy looked in Hannah's direction and looked away immediately. He just wanted to make sure that she was fine for the last time.Declan decided that they would have some glasses of beer as they spoke. He ordered some men to take Hannah safely to the mansion.As they walked away, Hannah came to meet them with a blanket wrapped around her."Thank you so much for tonight," she said to Kennedy. He only grunted his reply without looking directly at her.He soon got into a bar with Declan and took seats. They ordered a few bottles of beer before Kennedy began to narrate the events that had led to the present day.Declan was shocked at first to

Once Declan stopped before his house, Kennedy ran inside to see Hannah. When he got in, he was at a loss for where to go. The house was magnificent.Samantha was just coming out of the elevator at that time."Kennedy!" She exclaimed. "What are you doing here?" She asked.Just then, Declan followed in after her."Babe, what's wrong?" She asked him as the men were panting breathlessly as they had been in a hurry.Declan knew that Samantha had no idea of what was going on. He did not have the time to say anything to her, and it had been that way for weeks. They were working so hard at work that they barely had time to be together.

A noisy clatter crossed Samantha's ears as Declan dropped his cutlery. When she finally summoned the courage to look up at his face, there was a disappointed scowl on it.She reached out to touch his hand on the table comfortingly, but he retreated and leaned back."I'm sorry," she mouthed. Declan looked at the waiters that were standing nearby and asked them to leave with his eyes.He wanted Samantha to be confident of her claims if at all she had one.He had not disturbed her for a child, nor had he directly or indirectly implied his need for one, not even once.He had always reassured her that she was content and enough, but she probabl

Kennedy finished his bath and was barely dressed properly before he heard his doorbell ring.He picked up his wristwatch on his dresser and looked at the time. It was 9 p.m. already.He wondered who it was. Not many people on the island knew where he lived, and he liked his privacy.It was probably security wanting to see him for something or his father. But except for when his father had an emergency, he would only call his phone. It made him feel like it was urgent.It could also be an attack from an enemy. He had just carried out a mission, and it was only normal to get a few enemies because of it.He opened up his drawer, and too

Hannah struggled to gather her breath as she suddenly sat up on the bed.She had no idea how to react to the news that Kennedy had just broken to her.She thought they were in a good place now, that what just transpired was a sign that they would solidify their relationship.She then remembered what the nurse had said in the hospital, about him wanting a transfer.Once again, she felt used and hopeless. It had been the normal routine with the men in her life.Just when she was beginning to develop a strong affection for them, they would run off, leaving her alone and lonely.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!" Daniel was heavily irritated by the report he was seeing.Somehow, everything did not seem to work out in the plans that he was making, and it disgusted him so much.He called the prison guard that usually gave him a phone and asked him for a phone call.The guard was hesitant, as Daniel had not paid his dues for the calls he had made the previous week.This made Daniel so annoyed and impulsive. He held the prison guard by the collar through the gaping prison door, visibly seething with anger. He pressed his neck, almost snapping the life out of his.The prison guard surrounded him and held the phone out to him. He call

"Ma, someone is waiting for you in your office," a nurse told Hannah as she got into the hospital. She had been a bit late today because her monthly period had started.She hated the days she had to go to work. She knew she would automatically be late as cramps became her best friend and her body had suddenly grown resistant to the pain relief drugs.She had brought it upon herself. She took so much of it that it made her body unresponsive.But this morning, she only had a cup of herbal tea, and the pain drastically decreased. She cursed herself for not knowing about it earlier.What pained her most aside from her cramps that morning was the fact that Kennedy was traveling.

Patricia looked at her buzzing phone that sat on the kitchen counter as she made lunch for Damian. Daniel was calling, and she was not ready to answer him at all. It had been that way since the last time she went to see him, and he had threatened her.She was avoiding her. If a man could kill his son just to have something, then it meant that he would not blink an eye to eliminate her. She now saw why Declan had been so overprotective of her.She had been married to this man for years, but she had ignored all his bad sides, thinking she could live with it. But now, her son's life was on the line, and she was not willing to gamble with it. He was all she had, her only cause of consolation, the only good thing that came out of being married to Daniel for close to four years.The phone buzzed persistently, and she huffed in exasperation before she picked it up and pressed it to her ear without saying a word."What do you think that you are doing?" He asked her."I don't understand wh

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
