Vindication of the Rejected Heir Chapter 100
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.

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
