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
Abigail took out her shades as soon as she got out of the vehicle and put them on immediately.This was the first time she had visited Frank since he was put behind bars for murder.Although he had not yet been sentenced, she did not know how she would react if he was given a jail term for life.As she walked in, memories of her good old days with Frank flooded her mind.They had met in college, and although she was neck-deep in love with Ferdinand, she had decided to let her guard down and open up to somebody else.She was selecting some books for her next project in the library, and she remembered seeing a title she wanted, but she could
Daniel stepped into the office with a smirk on his face, as usual. He had neither seen nor heard from Patricia for the past three months.She was no longer taking his calls, and whenever he used a private number, she would end the call as soon as she heard his voice.Using a voice modulator did not help. He always had a way of finding out that he was at the other end of the line.He could not trace her location, as the location, despite how hard he tried to trace it, always returned without a signal.He knew she was receiving help from Declan, and he was intent on finding out where they were, so he could take out his revenge on them, just the same way he had done to Ferdinand some weeks ago.
