Vindication of the Rejected Heir Chapter 238
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

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

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.

As the rain patted softly on the window pane, Declan watched the city from his small apartment. The landscape of the city in the early hours of the morning always hit him with a whiff of nostalgia.His mind wandered like it always did these past few days. He was coming to a full realization that he was suddenly turning into a full-grown man with nothing to show for it.Life had done him a lot. Growing up was not very easy for him. He had not learned to speak properly as a child, and thus, he was not considered fit to be at the forefront of the family business.Daniel, his younger brother, was the trophy child that everyone applauded, thus Lord Rowland, his grandfather, thought him fit to handle the family's business despite being the younger one.Things took a drastic turn after his parents passed in a ghastly accident. The coldness that came with their death seemed to dry up every ounce of love that he could ever receive.Lord Rowland no longer regarded him as a vital part of the fam

Judging from his expression, Declan did not want to get married to the daughter of Lord Rowland's rich friend.Over the last couple of weeks, he had been forced to go on ridiculous dates with her, what his grandpa had referred to as "getting to know each other".Patricia seemed uninterested too, and very much irritated by him, just like the rest of his family. They had managed to finally hold a good conversation on their last date, where they both admitted that they were sick of the decision to get married.Declan took one last turn before the full-length mirror that leaned against the wall. As he looked up, he could not miss Daniel's face behind him. It wore a smirk as usual."See who's getting married today", Daniel began with a tone heavily laced with sarcasm. Declan let out a small smile, with his eyes on the ground.He would not look Daniel in the face. For some unknown reason, he was intimidated by his brother. He was more learned, smarter, and even more handsome than he was, al

Lord Rowland was red with rage as he flashed Declan, who was confused, a deadly look."Take him out of here", he commanded. Two pairs of strong arms grabbed Declan immediately. He was scared to the bone."And I don't want to ever see you anywhere near this household, or the company", he said as they took him out.Declan insisted that he would speak up on this matter. Even though he was an adopted child, accepted by his father into the family, there was no way it was his fault.A tear slipped from his eyes, and another followed until he was sobbing like a child.Reminiscing on how much he had endured, he thought this marriage would land him a place in his family, then this happened.At this moment, more than he ever desired in the past, he wished his father was alive, the only man that was always solidly behind him."Please grandpa, hear me out just this once", his stuttering was worse because he was not just angry, but he was also scared of how his life would turn out after this.He w
