Vindication of the Rejected Heir Chapter 95
Ferdinand did not know what to expect as he made haste to meet Declan in the office. He had just come from the city and was elated that Abigail had agreed to marry him. He had been skeptical about making that decision, not sure of how she would take the news, but he had decided to take the bull by the horns regardless, and it had turned out well. She had let out a little cry before she gave in, but he liked how reserved she was, and how she was not with him because he could make her life easier, but because she loved him.Andrew was already at the airport when he arrived to pick him up. He was bubbly with excitement and had let the cat out of the bag immediately. "I am very happy for you, sir," Andrew stated professionally. Ferdinand had never seen him lose his cool to flare up or jump in excitement, but he did not mind.Declan was on a phone call when he stepped into the office. He could not remember the last time he had been inside it. He had not been present or briefed on the re

Samantha saw it in his expression when he entered the bedroom. She was getting ready for a shower, as she had come back early from the office. She had not bothered to wait for him, as she had seen Ferdinand go into his office. She knew that they would spend a lot of time there. She smiled at him as he got inside, but he did not smile back. She knew something was amiss.She moved to him and wrapped her hands around his neck with just a towel tied around her body. "I saw your dad enter your office," she began. "How did it go with him?" She asked. He looked at her briefly before he removed her hands and began to undress. He slumped on the bed afterward. She knew he was not happy about something."What is wrong Declan?" She asked him. He looked down at her before he replied."I don't think that I would be working in my father's firm again", he replied almost immediately. The news came as a shock to her, and she hoped that he was not hellbent on the decision."What do you mean?" She a

Samson rushed to the airport with so much excitement as soon as he concluded his meeting. He had been counting down the days that were left before he could finally see Hannah. He had missed her. Other times, he had worried about her health and how she was recovering from her surgery. They did a lot of bonding over the phone, even with her children. She had mentioned that she wanted them to be homeschooled in the beginning.She had decided to host a dinner for close friends and family and he could not miss out on it. When his flight finally landed, he boarded a taxi to where she stayed.The house was quiet from the outside, and it left him wondering if she was inside. As he stepped into the gate, a loud blaring from an alarm startled him and he quickly rushed back. Some men in suits that were crisply ironed rushed out to see who it was.They moved close to him and searched him thoroughly before he was allowed to enter. At the door, there was a scanning device for his face, and after

Declan stood up and rushed out immediately, causing a bit of confusion among the guests, including Samantha. Samson asked her what the matter was with his eyes but she shook her head.On second thought, she followed him outside.He was on a phone call when she got to him and he looked perplexed like he would cry. She knew that Declan let go of anger by crying sometimes, but she wondered what had provoked him to this extent. When she touched him, he turned around immediately and held her hand. His look was indifferent, and he seemed confused with the phone still held against his ear. She tried to fathom what the person at the other end of the line was saying but she could not. From the way he behaved, she knew it had to be something really bad.He finally ended the call and looked straight at her. She looked at him inquisitively."There has been a leakage", he blurted out, almost with a shriek. "So much oil has been wasted", he continued, his tone enveloped with worry."Do you know h
Vindication of the Rejected Heir Chapter 99
Georgina was finally pregnant. Since the night he had been with her, he had kept his fingers crossed. He never wanted to repeat the incidents of that night, not because the young girl was not appealing to him, but because he just wanted to keep the line drawn between them. When he broke the news to Samantha, she squealed happily and made him give her a twirl. He knew he had to be happy. At least, it was his baby if not hers. He would have preferred if it was a lab process, but Samantha always knew what she wanted and would always get it. Sometimes, he was unhappy that she used the same techniques she applied at her work on him, but he was getting used to her theatrics and would not give in easily anymore. She had begun to make preparations for Georgina to come live with them, and that was when he knew he should have the conversation with her."I just feel like the pregnancy is too early for us to bring her in," Declan had stated. It was not as though he thought bringing her in wa

It made no sense to him and he wondered why she would do such a thing to him. After the insane discovery that Samantha had been taking the birth control pills, he had not been himself. He had recoiled and taken a step back in their relationship. He vowed to himself that he would not touch her until he was sure that she was not on the pills anymore.But this was not Samantha's problem. She had been too occupied with work and taking care of Georgina. She had asked him if everything was fine a few times, but she did not insist when he did not answer. She was either too tired to talk or too late for work. He had wanted to have a conversation about it with her on multiple occasions, but he did not know how to bring it up.As he took his shower that night, he heard the door open and close."I'm home," Samantha announced in hopes that he would hear her. He did. He just chose not to respond to her and kept his eyes closed as he showered.Soon, he felt soft hands embrace him from behind, a

Declan retreated immediately and rushed after Samantha who rushed out of the study. He heard her sobs and he knew he had hurt her, something that he thought he promised her that he would never do.He watched her take a key from the shelf and head out. He knew she was not in the right mind to drive and he quickly signaled Andrew to pull up a car for her.He quickly did and before Samantha could get to the major exit, a car was already waiting for her.Without a second thought, she got into the car still sobbing and the driver sped away. She needed to get away and she thought of whom she could talk to.Her father was not around and she knew that Hannah was her only friend around.

The police had already flooded the murder scene when Declan arrived, and as he moved towards the revolving police red and blue lights, he prayed that, by some kind of miracle, his father was still alive.When he had finished with Samantha and picked up his phone, he saw his father's message first.Help me! He's trying to kill me.It sounded odd, and Declan knew that his father had been speaking to Daniel, someone that he had warned him to stay away from, but he would not listen.He had seen multiple calls from a number that he did not have on his phone, and he dreaded calling it at first. After some hesitations, he finally dialed, and he was informed that his father had been murdered in cold blood. He could not believe it, and as he alighted from his flight, the nostalgia overtook him and he wanted to throw up. A tear seeped from his eye.He rushed to get to the scene to know if he would get a view of his father's body before he was taken away, but an officer held him in place. He

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
