It occured to her that her body didn't only react under the influence of alcohol, but we was also drugged. An aphrodisiac was put in the wine that she drank."Don't try anything mi lady, you can't escape from me." The man spoke from behind her. Lowering her lips towards her nape and kissing it more harder.He was too powerful for Kim to overcome, she struggled but he eventually got to take her with him to the bed."No… stop." Kim pleaded in a less audible tone, she was too weak and tipsy to do anything to the man.He pressed himself more tightly to her body. Hours later, Henry entered the room and couldn't do away with the awful stench of alcohol. He instantly went to the bed and he met Kimberly, half naked and uncomfortable. She continued to mumble some unfamiliar words. When he got closer to her, she reeked of alcohol stench and was also burning hot. Henry sat beside her. "Why did you drink?." He asked but didn't get a response. He expected it. She was too drunk to say anything. H
Henry finally put Kimberly in the car and when she didn't stop cursing, he kissed her violently. She didn't hesitate in biting him hard on his tongue. Kimberly seemed like a mad woman at that moment, her hair was disheveled and she kept ranting."What is wrong with you Kim?." "Let me go." She yelled."Let you go?. Why?.""Stay away from the lives of me and my brother. Henry Williams. Stay away from us, we don't need you. Stay away." As Andrew began the car and drove into the highway, Kimberly began to push the door open. It wasn't enough for her and she began to kick it hard. If the door wasn't on auto lock, Kimberly would've probably gotten it open with a hard kick.Henry became confused about why Kimberly acted wildly. "Take us to the hospital." Henry ordered instantly and Andrew changed routes."There's nothing wrong with me. Do not take me anywhere." Kimberly yelled.A man dressed in white lab coat came out of the ward with a frown. "Doctor, how is she?." "Let's talk at my of
Kimberly went along with Henry to visit Carmen's family concerning the case. "Carmen isn't home. She had been sent to her aunt in the province." Mrs Claus said."Can we by any chance contact her through her mobile number?" Kimberly asked politely."What do you want?" Mrs Claus asked instantly in a harsh tone."Carmen doesn't want to speak with any of you. " She declared."But, we have to speak with her. We need to. My brother can't go to jail. They both engaged in the act, why is he the only one being punished.""maybe she misunderstood, he mustn't have been the one she was with." Kimberly lamented. There was a moment of silence before a resounding slap was heard."How dare you speak Ill about my daughter? Your brother forced her into it and she confessed to it. Do you have no Shame at all for trying to cover up this act?." Kimberly was still shocked after the unexpected slap from Mrs. Claus.Henry instantly arrived at the scene after he heard the noise. The men were at the dining r
The next day, A young girl of about fifteen years old stood at the reception of the hotel. According to the scene, she was having an argument with the receptionist."Miss, Please I need to speak with ma'am Kimberly George. It's urgent." Carmen said. She looked nervous and scared. Carmen rolled her eyes around the lobby fearfully. The receptionist realized her actions and found it obvious that someone was after her."The person you request to see is a VIP in our hotel. We can't give you access unless you have an appointment with her." She explained calmly."Can you call her for me please? Tell her it's Carmen Claus. She would listen." Carmen said nervously."I'm very sorry but I can't help you, Carmen." "I have to tell her something very important about David George. Please." Kimberly was just approaching the reception when she heard someone call out her brother's name and she froze. Staring at the young girl who had just mentioned David, Kimberly had mixed feelings instantly and she
Still at dinner, while discussing with Henry and David, Kimberly felt her purse vibrated and she realized that her phone rang. The only person who would call was her blackmailer since he brought the phone and was the only one who could contact her through it. Kimberly became uncomfortable at that instance and Henry noticed."What is it?.""I have to make use of the bathroom. I'll be back shortly." Kim said, excusing herself to leave."With your purse?." Henry asked curiously."It's women's thing." Kimberly said with a wink. Trying to hide her nervousness from Henry and David as the phone continued to ring in her purse. After she left, Henry and David exchanged glances. "Women are full of surprises." Henry thought and they resumed eating.As soon as Kim reached the bathroom, she could finally breathe out after holding in her breath for a while, in a bid to compose herself in the presence of Henry and her brother.The phone was still ringing continuously and after catching her breath,
Kimberly jerked awkwardly as Henry wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. "Oh! It's you." She said instantly, recovering from her fright."Is anything the matter?." Henry asked. Kim instantly remembered the phone on the sink and she took it away so he wouldn't see it. She managed to slip it into her pockets and she reciprocated the hug.Later, after Henry was all set for them to leave, he realized Kimberly's unwillingness and was curious. She seemed unwilling to bath earlier, now she remained in her towel and wasn't putting on her dress. "Do you have something to tell me?." Henry asked."Yes, Henry." She answered slowly."What is it?." Henry found himself sitting besides her on bed."I don't think we should leave yet." Kim broke the news."Why?." Henry seemed worried."Let's just stay a few more days. Away from the palace and everyone. I find it more peaceful here. Please, a few more days." "You know we've spent so many days already and they'll begin to suspect our activitie
Soon, Henry and Andrew could be seen conversing in the garden. Henry seemed more charismatic than ever and it was obvious that he was drunk. Andrew had never seen Henry this way. More drinks were placed on the table and a lot more packs of cigarettes. Henry ordered them. Andrew tried to persuade him concerning his reaction towards the issue and if he doesn't stop drinking soon, he might end up falling sick."You can leave if you want to, I can be on my own." Henry stated drunkily.Andrew stood up and tried to help him get up, but Henry violently refused.It was no use, he had to stay with Henry till whenever he cooperated.It was after midnight when Andrew woke up, he had fallen asleep earlier. He realized that Henry was no longer in the garden and he was all alone with loads of emptied bottles and packs of cigarettes which were obviously empty also. Andrew rushed back into the hotel to get Henry and try to stop him from acting stupidly so things didn't get out of hand.He knew how H
The notification sound from Henry's mobile phone distracted her from her thoughts and she decided to check it. ‘Maybe it was Regina who sent a text lamenting her ordeals with the pregnancy.’ She thought.The bright light shone on her face as the phone screen was turned on by her. Kimberly frowned upon what we saw on the mobile phone. ‘See you tonight.’ was the brief message she had seen on the phone but it meant a lot to her. It could mean anything, especially infidelity. Henry might really be seeing Stacy as she had thought. Although the number wasn't saved on his mobile phone, Kimberly Decided to copy it and call Stacy later. She might want to confront this Stacy woman by herself.There was an awkward silence in the room all day, Kimberly wasn't doing any activity except watching Henry do his. He was on the laptop all day, working. Henry didn't rest a bit since he began typing on the laptop. She also realized that he hadn't eaten breakfast or even checked his mobile phone since. He

Kimberly stared at the gigantic portraits of Henry and David which she didn't get tired of staring at. she moved closer to them and touched one of Henrys'"Henry, I miss you so much," she confessed, hoping to get a reply. She roamed her fingers on the portrait, touching his face and lips.She managed to get a picture of a full full-face file of Henry's from the internet. During her time with him, she was able to take several unaware shots of him and his side profiles. Henry didn't like pictures, even when the press managed to get pictures of him, he had them destroyed.Kimberly smiled as she was reminded of that.She put her forehead on that of Henry's picture and closed her eyes. Kimberly couldn't help the tears that fell from her eyes.suddenly, the door was barged open by a little boy. "Mummy." he rushed in quickly and hugged her. Kimberly shif
Kimberly spent three more days in prison, there was no disturbance from Francis or torture from the policemen. Anthonia, her new cellmate made sure to protect her from her previous cellmates. Kimberly thought of ways to contact Grandma Lee's lawyer. He was the only person she hoped for. If Grandma could trust him with her documents, he must be able to get her out of prison. In the evening when the prisoners were in line for breakfast, Kimberly didn't go to get her food. She felt sick from what she ate for lunch. Anthonia stayed back with her."Ahhh." She cried painfully."What's wrong with you? Are you okay?.""No I'm not okay, my stomach hurts." Kimberly cried."Here, drink water." Anthonia offered."No, that's not it. My stomach hurts so much."Kimberly felt a warm wet liquid run through her thighs and she touched it. She was bleeding."My baby. I'm losing my baby." She cried out. Anthonia freaked out and she began to bang hard on the grate gate."Someone, we need help in here." Sh
Kimberly hoped that she wouldn't regret her actions. She spent two days in solitary confinement and wasn't given food to eat or water to drink. Kimberly had almost died from hunger. On the third day, she was taken back to her normal cell and was given food. That evening, Francis came to visit and request the papers again. Kimberly still stood her ground and refused to give it to him.Francis showed her some pictures on hon tablet. "I'm sure you wouldn't want your brother dead?." He asked her. Kimberly was shocked to see her brother in such a situation, he was all tied up and a gun was pointed at his head. In the video, David struggles to speak as his mouth was gagged.She couldn't hear a thing he said."Please don't hard my brother. I'll do anything you ask of me." She pleaded."Where are the goddamn papers?""I swear, I know nothing about them. I don't have any papers with me." She confessed.Kimberly was taken back to her cell, mistreated,d and beaten by the guards. Kimberly held
After everything was over, Leonard appeared in Henry's grave later that day.He was dressed in black as per funeral rights and he stood near the grave. Didn't attend the burial earlier that day, so he decided to pay his respect at that time. He was a bit drunk when he got there.He leaned down on the grave, staring at the tombstone of his half-brother seemed unbelievable to him. Even though he wanted Henry dead, he wanted Henry to die in his hands. Leonard felt that he lost to Henry, seeing him die in a plane crash."You're a coward, Henry. You're always fond of running away and not facing me. " He said,"We should've fought a lot more times. I owe you so much. Remember?" He lamented."I still have to pay you back for getting me locked up by my father. I deserve it. I have to shoot you with the bullets from my new gun." He explained.That same evening, Kimberly arrived at the graveyard to pay her last respects to Henry. As she saw the man on the grave, she quickly recognized him as Leo
Kimberly woke up after a few hours. According to Grandma Lee who was sitting beside her bed, she had passed out earlier and was brought to the hospital by granny with the help of some servants. Kimberly tried to stand up from bed."Henry, I need to find Henry. Grandma." She cried. "I cannot live without him." "Kimberly, get a hold of yourself. You should live well, if not for anyone but for your baby." "Grandma, it's hard for me to move on. Henry promised never to leave me. I told him I wouldn't leave." Kimberly couldn't control her tears as she spoke.Later that day, she was discharged from the hospital. Granny found out that Kimberly had no pregnancy complications as Henry had thought. The doctor in Germany lied to him. Granny didn't tell Kimberly anything and decided to investigate the issue. She found out that someone had the doctor manipulate the results to send Henry away. Henry's death had been plotted before now.Granny swore to get to the route of everything and find out w
When Kimberly opened her eyes she realized that she wasn't tied or blindfolded as she expected since they were kidnapped earlier. She looked around and saw that she was in a familiar place which she instantly recognized as the Williams mansion.She felt a throbbing headache hit her as she tried to stand up, they used so much drugs for her that she woke up late at night. "Henry?" She called out, staring at the masculine figure standing near the window. Henry wore only pants and was shirtless. Kimberly twitched her face irritably at the choking smell in the air. It was the smell of Henry's tobacco, clouding the air in the room.He put out the smoke, realizing that Kimberly didn't like it and he went to her.Kimberly was still confused by everything that happened. She realized where they were but wasn't aware of what happened after they were kidnapped which was the last scene she remembered before passing out.Henry sat behind her on the bed and patted her hair backward slowly. "How did
Kimberly stared at him for a moment, admiring his sincerity as he swore not to lose her. She grinned teasingly for putting him in a frenzied state."You sound so serious like any one of us is going to leave," Kim said and she wrapped her hands around his waist tightly. "I love you, Henry." She muttered, burying her face in his chest. "I love you too," Henry replied."Now, we should be heading inside. I think we've had enough of the wind for the night." Henry said and he carried her in bridal style inside their house. Kimberly giggled all the way Inside. "It tickles." She spoke in an almost faded voice.At the airport, Kimberly bid goodbye to David. It was a bit emotional for both siblings to separate from each other again. Knowing fully well that it may take long before they see each other again. After boarding the plane, Kimberly didn't hold back her tears and they streaked down uncontrollably on her face.Henry pulled her for a hug. "We would see him soon, Kim. And you both won't hav
Kimberly was discharged after three days and was placed under bed rest. Henry knew that they couldn't make a journey back to their country yet till she recovers so he brought a house in Germany for them to stay comfortably. He wouldn't want her using an elevator or feeling bothered to climb stairs so he bought a well-furnished bungalow."I feel like our life is peaceful living this way, Henry. Without anyone bothering us." Kim spoke. She snuggled herself into his arms on the bed and he held her tightly."Kim." He called out. "Yes?" She answered instantly, sniffing in his cologne that she couldn't get enough of. Kimberly had always loved the scent of Henry, and it seemed that it increased ever since she realized her pregnancy. She couldn't tell if it was her normal self or the change of hormones that made her love his scent more. But one thing she could tell was that Henry scents so well."I love you." He whispered. "I love you so much." He repeated and kissed her forehead."And our bab
