Vincent had only gone a little further from the house when Queenie asked him to turn around and head back to the house. He obliged and when he got to the house, he saw a familiar black Porsche shooting out of the gate and the horrified looks in the eyes of the maidservants. He needed one to tell him Pierce's weird temper had kicked in again and it was all because he argued with his younger brother. Again! Queenie didn't have the time to notice their expressions as she walked hurriedly into the house and straight into her room. She pushed the door open and heard a cold voice. "I think you should leave!" "Oh, if you say so." She muttered in disbelief and turned to walk out only to hear the man's hurried voice. "No, I wasn't talking to you." Slowly, she turned to look at him. With a shrug, she walked towards the man who was still embedded in a tuxedo. "I received an emergency call. Was told you were not fine." She said and looked him over. "However, you look fine to me." The ma
Nighttime in Maile, The Knights' MansionThe Knights triplets stood with their hands behind their back, facing their father who laid weakly on his bed. He had requested their presence and as such, they remained quiet till he spoke."I entrusted my company to you to manage in my stead. I am not dead, at least not yet. So any major decisions concerning the company ought to be discussed with me." the man began."Lucian, you've been in charge. Can you explain to me what it is that I'm hearing?" He asked Lucian who stood in the middle, directly opposite the sick man.Lucian leaned forward to answer. "Father, what I did was a smart move. Velon's company was dwindling and he couldn't keep up with it anymore." he explained."That is no reason for you to buy that bastard's company!" old Knight retorted. "I've always told you boys that nobody, nobody should involve themselves with Queenie or that peasant of a man she calls her ex-husband!" he added."It was solely for business purposes father.
When Queenie looked towards a direction, she thought she saw someone duck. So she got up and headed towards the pillar. When she got there, she found no one there. Just then the phone in her pocket rang and she took it out to see it was Audrey calling. "What is it?" "It's almost eleven and you're not yet in the filming set! You're clearly giving Alicia something to slander you with." Audrey huffed from the other side.Queenie held her forehead with her free head and sighed. She had totally forgotten! Glancing at her time, she assured Audrey. "If the director asks where I am, tell him I am on my way." "I've been telling him that for about an hour. I don't know what he'd think of me if I tell him that again." "Then you tell him I live three hours away." Queenie retorted and headed outside the house. "Don't be so shameless, Queenie. Since you knew that, why didn't you leave your three hours away house on time?" Audrey fired back. Queenie was about to retort when she heard Direct
Cameras, lights and everything needed forshooting the scene were all up before Queenie walked into the stage. She had also changed into Esther's character. She acted her lines when being handled roughy by the hoodlums before she took off. She had run for a bit when Daryl called off the scene. "Stop!" Queenie was ready to be reprimanded as she knew fully well she was supposed to fall on her stomach. When he saw her face, Daryl knew she did it on purpose. "I guess the stunt doubles should do this." "For something as simple as falling? Even a pregnant woman like me can do it." Alicia laughed from where she sat. "Ok, I'm exaggerating. That'd be quite a risk for my child. But why can't Queenie do it when she's not pregnant? Unless she really is." Alicia concluded. Jessica huffed out angrily and looked towards Alicia. When she was about to say something, she felt something tug her clothes. When she looked beside her, she saw Audrey shaking her head while mouthing the word, "Don't do
When Queenie returned back to the table, Pierce noticed the odd look in her eyes and asked. "Are you alright?" Queenie stared at him for some seconds before shaking her head. "I don't think so." Pierce got up from his chair and walked towards her. Without knowing it, he had attracted the attention of the people in the hotel. They soon took out their phones to take pictures. Pierce couldn't be bothered by them as his main focus was on the lady before him. "Let's go to the husband as soon as possible." He said and held her hands. On their way out, Queenie suddenly felt dizzy and slumped. The man scooped her into his arms and headed directly for the car. Vincent, who was smoking outside, saw them and threw the burning cigarette to the ground, extinguishing the light with his foot before rushing to open the door. She was taken to Hiltonia's Central hospital where she was admitted at once and treatment commenced on her almost immediately. The man waited anxiously for her outside. W
Filming shoot the next day. Queenie walked in with two assistants, a worried look in her face. She turned to Roxanne who was beside her to ask, "Have you tried contacting her again?" Roxanne nodded. "It's not going through. Says it's out of reach." "When I'm done with today's scene, we will go in search of her." She muttered and walked away while Audrey and Roxanne exchanged a worried glance."I think Pierce should have an idea of where she is. I'll give him a call." Roxanne said and excused herself. Audrey kept her eyes at them both. Three minutes later, Roxanne returned back to where she stood, a worried look in her eyes. "What did you get?" "He doesn't know. At this point, it's either the Baynes has her or she has been kidnapped." Roxanne concluded. "I'll go for the first. I'll give her brother a call." When the call connected, she heard Jessica yelling in the background before the noise got drawn out. "Is that Jessica?" Audrey asked. Michael Bayne, the first and only son
It took an hour before the shoot was over and Queenie walked over to them almost immediately. "Were you able to get to Jessica?" Audrey nodded. "Yes, I was. Turns out her father was the one who dragged her from the hotel she lodged in last night down to Maile." At the sound of the name, Queenie temporarily stopped walking and turned to look at Audrey. "Can you not mention that name in the future? Makes me feverish." Queenie requested and saw Audrey nod her head twice. "Thank you." As they walked out of the studio, Daryl stopped them. "I'm really sorry for the disruption, but can I talk to you, Ms. Knights?" "Sure." Queenie replied. Daryl glanced at the two ladies beside her and nodded. "Alone." Only then did Audrey and Roxanne move aside. There had been controversies about Queenie on the net after she showed up at the hote with Pierce. Many people thought she was leeching off him as they had seen and heard Pierce had gotten married. Given Queenie's reputation, they never f
In a hotel suite. The door to the suite opened and Anna Brendon walked in. She stopped as soon as she saw Natasha smoking in the living room. "I was beginning to think you won't come. And I was also preparing to execute you." Natasha said with a smile. Anna breathed out and hurriedly said, "I've been doing what you sent me. Her manager already despises her and I also leaked the whereabouts of Jessica to her father. As we speak, he has dragged her back to Maile." Natasha seemed impressed. She got off from her chair and walked towards Anna. "I have something else for you." She said as she walked past her. Anna looked down at her bump as she followed behind Natasha. "This fake bump, how do I go about it?" "You'll continue carrying it. Pierce has seen you like this, I can't afford for him to suspect you. Unless you're ready to die." Just like Natasha thought, Anna went silent. "I'm happy you understand. I need you to go back to Maile." "Maile? I just came to Hiltonia! You prom
Pierce walked out of the bathroom with a towel tied loosely around his waist. Queenie who had been sulking on the bed raised her eyes to say something but it got stuck in her throat seeing his chiseled muscles.It also occurred to her this was the most intimate she had ever been with Pierce. Her body heated up at the thought of that and she groaned in displeasure. She was supposed to be angry but she was horny instead. Pierce had no idea what was going on with her but he did notice her frown deepened every passing second. "Queenie, are you alright?" He asked slowly and she snapped out of her thoughts. However, she ignored him. The man chuckled to himself and walked to the clothes he had taken off before going to have his bath. He took out something and handed it over to her. "Just like I thought, you were the one with the diary." She mumbled as she took it. "Yes. I came across it once in her office and decided to take it. Unfortunately, when I read the part regarding the formula,
Velon managed to get them through the corridor undetected. Queenie practically limped the whole time but quietly. However, just before they got to the elevator, they saw a green light and froze. There was someone inside. There was no time for them to decide as the elevator dinged open and Henry walked out of it. His face scrunched over when he realized what was going on and he immediately raised an alarm. "Who are you and who gave you the go ahead order to move them?" His sharp voice echoed throughout the empty corridor. Velon and Queenie felt movements towards them and sighed silently. Just like that, their perfect escape had been ruined by a lousy mouth relative. Despite her weak state, she tried to move when Velon held her back. "If you do that they'll get you again. Just get into the elevator." Upon hearing him, Henry scoffed and stood guard in front of the elevator door. Taking Queenie down would've been an impossible task but at this point, he knew she was beyond weak and
"But I still don't understand what the talk has to do with your plan with the formula for more drugs." Queenie scoffed, turning her face back to Mishael. "True. I've deviated from my storyline." The man replied, flashing an apologetic smile. "My father spent all his life's savings on Transformers because he knew he'd get more out of the product. The Transformers' drugs boost the human body. Increases things like speed, retention ability and some special abilities one might acquire as a side effect." "So you're trying to tell me you plan on doing the same thing which caused my mother to burn down the laboratory in the first place?" Queenie asked just to be sure and the man nodded. "It's called, continuing the family's legacy." Mishael enunciated and walked back to where he dropped his bottle of bourbon. "What if they don't find it?" Queenie asked as he filled his cup again. He only gave a dark chuckle. "I don't mind doing the same thing my father did." "Bring children and use the
Texas Velon returned home after being released by Queenie. He first had his son released but as he looked down at the boy, his heart skipped when he realized there was no resemblance between. "Daddy, those people took mommy away." Matt said, tears brewing in his eyes. He hadn't forgotten the sight he saw that day. "We'll go to mommy now. Don't cry." Velon consoled snapping out of his world.He grabbed the boy and took him into his arms. Just to affirm that Queenie was just messing with him, he stopped by a hospital and had them run a paternity test. "The result will be out in an hour, sir." The doctor told him. Then his eyes settled on Matt. "You have a handsome boy." "Thank you." Velon replied and led Matt out of the hospital. "The results can also be sent to your email in case you don't make it here on time. It's always more convenient." The doctor added with a smile. Finding no harm in it, Velon gave the doctor his email address before leaving. He found the police station w
Lucas and Audrey turned to see Deborah standing behind them with a smile. The most baffling thing was that they had no idea when she arrived. "How long have you been here?" Lucas asked, turning to her fully. Deborah flicked her wristwatch and stared at the time for a few seconds before raising her head again, "Three minutes. Just enough to kill you both and dump your bodies in the middle of the sea."If she was trying to scare them, she didn't succeed as they just stared at her blankly. "What are you doing here?" Deborah asked again, furrowing his brows in displeasure. "I worked for your parents. Of course I had to attend your father's funeral." Deborah replied with a snicker. "They gave you away. Frankly speaking, you don't look like you care about him." Lucas continued saying while Audrey watched silently. "You're right." Deborah chuckled, "I came to be sure Queenie won't run with the medicine she purified. It's unfortunate that Mishael now has his hands on her." "Mishael? Li
Mishael turned off his phone and turned his attention back to Queenie. David stood by the side with tears in his eyes. Just a few minutes ago, Mishael had suddenly instructed him to strung up Queenie and hit her. He had obeyed since he was hypnotized. "You know you don't have to make him watch as you hit me." Queenie who had regained her breath said. Mishael picked up his glass and walked close to her. "Then where's the fun?" Queenie sighed and lowered her head. "You do know they might not find the diary, don't you?" "Yes, I do." "That's good to know. What do you intend to do when they don't find it?" She asked and the man grinned crazily. "I intend to cut off your body parts for every hour it takes them to find it. It'll be a really unfortunate sight if they don't hand me that diary." Mishael replied, taking a slip from his cup. "I can help you find it. My mother stayed away from home almost all the time. So I made it a habit to follow her thinking she was cheating on my dad.
Knight's Mansion Natasha watched the funeral from a reasonable distance. She turned and headed back to her room when a hand reached out and dragged her into a corner. "It's me." Lucian shushed Natasha who was about to become violent making her freeze momentarily. She looked up to see her three elder brothers looking down at her with stoic looks. This was the closest she had been with them ever since they grew up. "I didn't come to cause Queenie any harm." She told them after a minute passed with none of them saying anything. However, her words were far from what Lucas needed to hear. He opened his mouth to say something. Fortunately, Lucian beat him to it. "When did you become so close to Queenie?"Natasha looked up at them silently. It was clear from the look in her eyes she wanted nothing other than to run away from them. But that only made the protective brothers curious. "I'm sorry but I'm not supposed to be discussing that with you." She told them after their gazes became
Queenie's pupils dilated as soon as she heard that name. "Now, give me the envelope." David said afterward and Queenie reluctantly gave it to him. There was no debating it. If she resisted, David would kill himself and Mishael would send someone else after her. If she still refused to hand it over, the same thing would keep repeating. David glanced at the envelope quickly before putting it into his suit pocket. Then he glanced up at her and said, "Mishael says thank you." He got up and lowered his gun. "Mishael, that bastard!" She groaned, trying her best to rein the anger within her. How Mishael had manipulated David to be so stupid was what baffled her. "Give me the gun." She told him but the boy shook his head with a confused look. "I don't want to give it to you." "Then point it at me before I get my hands on you." David had an even more confusing look on his face when he heard her. He glanced at his gun again and tried to point it at her but realized he couldn't. "Queen
"When did you find out?" Lucas asked. "Yesterday during my talk with Deborah." Queenie replied, "When did you two get your information as well?" "Oh, from Mary Leicester. She was one of the founding members of the experiment." Roxanne retorted. Lucas also nodded in agreement. "In as much as I want to continue this discussion, I have a father and a husband to mourn. After this funeral, I'll get to the bottom of all this." Queenie sighed and got up. Lucas and Roxanne also took that as their cue to leave and left as soon as Queenie made her way into her closet. "You think she's really affected by Pierce's demise?" Roxanne asked sadly as they walked in the corridor. "I don't know." Lucas said, at a loss at what to say. Queenie had always been one who hated revealing her emotions to people. He could imagine how hard it was for her. Not only had she lost the only father figure she had, she also lost her husband on the day of her father's funeral. Anyone would be racked up with pain.
