"She owns company shares more than any investors we have." Tristan declared that made Sam tremble in disbelief."What? I don't believe you!" She lashed at him."Believe what you want Sam. Nicole owns half of the company and if you keep this up she might change her mind in signing the divorce agreement.""No! You are saying this just to stop me from bullying that bitch.""Just stop! Please stop. I have more in my plate now. So leave and give me that peace of mind, even for a moment.""Are you throwing me out of your office?" Instead of replying Tristan called his secretary in the interphone. "Please come and show Miss Grey out.""No Tristan you can't do this to me, I make sure you regret this!" Samantha was still yelling after she was ushered out of the room. Tristan slumped at his chair and massage his head."How long has this been going on with Samantha. She use to be easy and fun to be around but now she is giving me headache, worries and anxiety." He realized."Has it been t
This is great Mum" The twins remarked simultaneously in awe. Nicole brought them in the biggest and famous amusement and theme park in Santa Elena as to Adonis recommendations. She herself didn't know about this place as a child she vaguely recall being in this kind of place . Of course in Santa Monica where the kids grew up there are limited theme parks and nothing compared to this magnitude."I don't recall having this theme park before Ado." She voiced out her thoughts Adonis."It was started to build just about months when you dissapeared. A year later it was completed. But it almost wasn't able to operate .""Why?" "There was a despute between the partnership of the Hewitts and the Georges." "You mean this park is own by the Hewitts?" She was shocked."Partly. I guess the old Mister Hewitt intervene. So the Georges agreed to continue with the project." Adonis explained.So this is the project that were discussed during their meeting with the George couple.Nicole recal
Nicole and her kids were back in Santa Monica, but the issue surrounding their father's identity has not yet been resolved."I Think you should tell them the truth. " Helen told her. "I'm going to tell them but not yet grandma I'm still waiting for Tristan to present the divorce paper. I need to claim my inheritance before our marriage will be dissolved. I don't want him and most of all I don't want that mistress of him to get hold of what my parents has left for me." "I think if you are waiting for him to make the first move, you've got a long time waiting." "Why?""Because if he wants divorce, he would made a move already. I think he had second thoughts.""I mean why would he have second thoughts? He wanted it for a long time.""I don't know dear but I feel that he wanted to have a hold on you.""For whatever reason that might be I would not initiate the dissolution of our marriage.""Right dear don't allow him to demand the conditions. As of now you have the aces.""I know, a
Tristan did not waste anymore time he called his private investigator. For an update on his wife's activities."I don't think that is a good idea sir." Charles told his boss."Why do you say that?""Sir your PI and Samantha has a friendly relationship, and I have as discovered that he is divulging his discovery to her. Maybe I am wrong but I think you should get another person to do this without telling her." "Are you saying that Sam control his reports to me?" "I'm afraid so.""How dare you Charles involved yourself in my private affairs!" Tristan felt betrayed that his trusted man doesn't trust his girlfriend."I am just looking after the affairs of the company , but I cannot dismiss the fact that Samantha has a great influence on your decisions. It can affect your ability to run the company."So you think that I'm not capable of making my own decision without the interference of Sam, is that it?""No sir, what I'm saying is that you are so in love with that woman that you overl
Jacob have already left for Santa Elena, with the promise to come back and visit his great- grand children. The twins had wonderful time with their great-grandfather."I guess this is it grandma. She told Helen."I wish you good luck. Don't worry about the kids." Helen bud Nicole goodbye on her mission back in Santa Elena.A few hours later she is Infront of Tristan in his office. "To what do l owe the honor of your presence in my office dear wife?" Sarcastically Tristan greeted her."Spare me your sarcasm dear husband. We both know why I'm here.""I don't think you miss my presence, so I think it has to do with bussiness. I already asked Charles to handle anything that has to do with our business partnership." "I know that. That is why I also advise my assistant to handle anything that has to do with our business partnership." She replied using his own words. Tristan smirked."So why are you here? I thought you said that, the divorce issue will be handled with your lawyer?""It se
"What! You weren't able to achieved what you are supposed to do?" Helen's voice reverberated on the phone. When Nicole called them that night."Samantha arrived and I had to leave to avoid conflict." "So what are you planning now? ""I will try again grandma.""Good." They continue their conversation about the kids who were sleeping by the time she called. Just as she hang up the call her phone rang again. "Who can it be?" She wondered looking at unregistered number of the caller."Hello?" She replied."Hello Nicole, it's me Tristan." His voice was clear and strong." What is it you want Tristan?" She is excited but she doesn't want to give away any clue."Can we meet tomorrow after work at dinner?""Are you inviting me to a dinner date? I wonder what would Samantha Grey would say if she learn that her boyfriend is having a dinner date with his wife." She taunted him."I just wanted to have an arrangement with you regarding the divorce. But if you want to assume that it's a dinn
Tristan and Nicole both turned in surprised looking at towards the door. But Tristan recovered quickly. "Nicole meet Anna and Anthony George. You remember them do you?""Of course, she remembers us, we just met a few weeks earlier." Nicole stood up to welcome the couple with Anthony shaking her hand and Anna kissed both her cheeks. Tristan look startled.While Nicole at the back of her mind she is surprised and anxious asking herself. "Is my plan going to fail before I even started?""Nice to meet you again Nicole, actually We were just passing by when we saw Tristan entered the place so we engage him in a friendly conversation until we invited ourself to join your dinner date. He he he." Anthony is such a darling that Nicole doesn't hold it against them when they barge in they supposed to be private meeting."Oh no problem with that, you're welcome to join us. Isn't it Honey? " Tristan sweet and affectionate tone made Nicole realized that the couple doesn't have the knowled
Tristan contemplated on everything he had discovered this night. He wasn't able to noticed that Nicole stepped out of his car, lost in his own thoughts.His mind return to the time that he suspected that he must have slept with his wife. But it slipped in his mind the incident because of the trouble arising to the refusal of his potential business partner to sign the deal.Earlier that day he had a big fight with Sam. She had become manipulative in their relationship that he felt like a dog on a leash. She threatened to leave him and abort their child.He went to a bar and get drunk in frustrations before he went home. He doesn't even remember how he was able to reach home. He woke up with a headache, but he felt that he slept with someone and had a wild night.He thought it was Samantha, but it felt different. He saw the evidence in the sheets on his bed that he thought he should confront his wife.But was those kids that the Georges claim to be his, is it true? He must get to the
"You mean to say that you decided to drop all charges against that woman, just so you could have enough evidence to nail my grandmother to imprisoned her?" She is indignant that Tristan will attempt to make a move behind her back."Sweetheart, it's not that I single out Helen. But in the long run you will learn why I'm doing it.""Then tell me now! Don't keep me in suspense." Her anger has not yet dose off."Nikki my dear, there is just things that we thought that you are not ready to know. I myself would like to let you know of a big secret but that is depends on what your response might be." Jacob join in explaining to her which she tone down a it.'But grandpa isn't it right that I should also be aware of what is happening around me. I have the right to know, don't you think. it's my life." She said emotionally."What do you want to know?" Jacob asked gently."I want to know why Tristan is pinning my grandmother? Is there something that I don't know? I mean she must have done w
"Are you sure about it grandma?" Helen and Terence were discussing some procedures she is willing to undergo."Of course! It's not that I haven't done it before." She replied enthusiastically."Grandma you have done it too many times I'm afraid that there will come a time that me myself won't be able to recognize you. There is still be a consideration if you will be able to pull out your new identity."Don't you worry about me. I am a good actress , remember? Just keep that woman hidden and don't let her escape until I will be successful in my mission. Besides if I have to change my appearance, to avoid being caught, it should be put into good use. Just remember all of the things I do is for your sake." She told Terence."After the surgery, Helen Hayes will be a memory only to the people who are closely related to her. Ha ha ha ha! And a new chapter is about to begin. I welcome myself back to the lives of Nicole and her children."Their evil laugher mingled together creating an
"How did it go grandpa?" Tristan asked his grandfather."As expected she took the bait. She had no choice. I told her you're not interested anymore." The old man replied."Good I think we can find something in her confession to reopen Helen's case." Tristan replied. He had asked his grandfather to faced Sam. Knowing that she will feel anxious to cooperate, because he is not interested in her cooperation."Look Tristan are you sure we are doing the right thing?" "What do you mean grandpa. Do you doubt this move?" Tristan suddenly asked his grandpa if he had a change of heart. He knows how much he dislike Samantha."There's nothing I wouldn't do for Nicole and your children. But to help that woman to avoid serving her penalty. She might turn her back to us Nicole especially. We all know how much she hates your wife." Jacob explained.""We are dropping the charge that involves the embezzlement, and some minor charges. But the capital crimes like attempted kidnapping and the present as
Samantha in her cell anticipating her vistation, waits patiently for the guard to notify her that she had visitor she had sent a message yesterday for the second time. it has been months since Tristan offered his help with condition. Now she finally decided hoping that his offer still stand.She was holding on for Terence to help her but the last time she had contact with him is through his lawyer saying that he is pulling out as his lawyer because Mr. Terence Black has drop his support for her."What do you mean that he has drop his support." She angrily snapped at the lawyer."I'm sorry Miss, I need to make a living I have many clients waiting in line for my services to represent them in court. But Mr Black notified that this month's pay is the last coming from his pockets should you want to continue my services you will have to compensate." The lawyer said vaguely. He is a middle age man with ample experience on court battles, and he should have made progress on her case but Saman
Mark and Moira had gotten over their ordeal when they were almost kidnapped by Helen's men. With the help of Psychological therapists, hired by their father the twins were back to their normal activities. With the help of Snow the White Lion cub that had steadily growing, the twins treated their ordeal as a natural occurence. Tristan hired a trainer that will help the children understand the nature of the beast.Snow also comfortable with being treated as a pet. She also possess a mild temperament and showed no difficulties being domesticated.Mark opened his drawer to get his underwear when he touch something and pull it out, he recalled it was a pouch he found when he explore the cave looking for a hiding place should the kidnappers found and enter the cave. While his sister was sleeping beside the lion cub. He look again at the pouch and studied it's appearance. It has an indentation of a letter that look like a letter R or a B or maybe it's the number 8. He is not sure.He was i
Helen couldn't believe that the pouch was missing, it contains as far as she knows the origin of the Blackburn family. Maybe some secrets and the heirs of the family's treasure.She paces back and forth, thinking of what happens if the pouch fall on the hands of the enemy."I can't hardly believe it!" She kept on murmuring to herself."Grandma stop! You're giving me headache." Her grandson sitting on the couch trying to relax complain."I just can't believe that someone might have taken that pouch. You see it was this close, for us to bury the Blackburn family tree, remove their Identity eery one of them, and pluck them out of our way." Helen said."Why is it important to find that pouch?" Her grandson finally asked."It contain the recordings in a micro chip that contains all the necessary information how they run their business their allies and enemies." She replied , but still anxious and continue to pace back and forth."If ever it will be found, I think the info it contain woul
Helen immediately after leaving the mansion, set to go to back to the cave where she saw the lions. She brought with her the two men who earlier had been the ones who tried to kidnap the twins.Knowing the direction it didn't take to long for her to reach their destination. She immediately enter the cave and look for the beast. She had her tranquilizer darts ready to fire should she saw the animal.But she didn't see the animal as she goes deeper inside the cave arm with tranquilizer darts and flashlight."Ma'am the animal, it was wounded. maybe it already died." One of the man with her said. He wanted to get out of the dark cave fearing that the animal may be lurking in the dark, ready to pounce once he had the chance. He still recall how the animal ripped off parts of his friend's body."Wounded! Who wounded the animal?" She said angrily."We didn't have the choice, he is attacking us" the man defended weakly."You shouldn't hurt the animal they tend to became wild if they were str
Nicole was surprised to hear Tristan's voice. "What are you doing Sweetheart. She is under a restraining order banning to approached you!""But Honey it's grandma Helen. I missed her." Nicole pleaded with her husband."We will be violating the order if we tolerated her action." Tristan can't hardly tell Nicole that she is in danger with the other woman."Why Tristan , do you think that I can afford to leave my granddaughter alone because of some suspicions that were fed to her by those people who thinks that I have ulterior motives in helping her before when it was supposed to be your obligation as her husband?" Her long explanation aimed to accused Tristan's past shortcoming to raise Nicole's distrust towards her husband."She is hardly alone. She had people around her who loves her care for her and will never betray her." Tristan retaliated equally with Helen's words."So you are saying I betrayed her?" Helen reacted."Grandma please." Nicole appealed to her grandmother not to ma
Helen had played her role very well. She was able to convince Nicole and even herself that she cared for her and her children over the years. But now the curtain had been raised and her identity is compromise. She had to go ahead in carrying their plans into reality.But there is still one option left to fight. Especially when she saw the animals who kept the Blackburn family's secret. She had to go back to the cave where she saw the animal, and retrieve what ever proofs that was left there. But before that she must do something first ."Nikki you have visitor." Ginger who in the meantime is staying with them in Tristan's mansion told her.Ginger decided to accompany Nicole while she is pregnant because she needs someone to attend with her needs since she is in her final trimester of pregnancy."Who is it?" She asked but before Ginger was able to respond her guest entered the living room."How are you Nikki?""Grandma! What are you doing here?" She was so surprised to see Helen, she
