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
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
Abigail rushed out of the bar in a frenzy as she hoped that she could catch up with Frank. It was his turn to take care of the children but he would not let him, at least until she could prove that he was not Ferdinand's killer. The chief and Declan followed after her in a hurry too as she headed to her house.The nanny was still with the kids when they got into the house. "Has Frank come here tonight?" She asked the nanny as she embraced her kids tightly."Not yet, but he called the landline and said he would be running late," the nanny added.Abigail turned to Declan and the chief."Frank is your killer," she said to them in a low voice. They were confused. Declan knew about the deadbeat dad of the children, but he did not know that he was capable of murder. Slowly, he put the dots together, and he figured that it was because of Abigail that they had the ruffle and Ferdinand got killed.The chief made a quick call immediately and more men were sent to where she was along with th
It was as though the weather was in sync with their moods on the burial day.The early hours of the morning had begun with a heavy downpour, and as he stood and observed from his mansion, Declan thought it may not be possible for the burial to hold any longer.He had only invited family, friends, and close business associates that his father had worked with over the years.He wanted to invite Daniel, but he was rational about his decision-making and would not do so.Throughout the period he was in the city, he always went to the bar, just to see Daniel and know how he was coping with the loss of his friend.He did not know that
"Your wife is pregnant," Doctor Pat announced to Declan. He was stunned for a moment, too surprised to speak.He knew Samantha was on the pills, and her endometriosis reduced her chances of conceiving.There he was, caught up in the middle of an array of emotions that could be described as mixed feelings. It made him too excited to speak."Are you serious, doctor?" He asked, finally finding his voice. "As a heart attack," Doctor Pat replied with a smile, and they both burst out laughing."We've lost hope on this because of the endometriosis, coupled with the fact that she was on the pill," Declan went on in a teary voice."I guess life had other plans
