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
Henry pushed off her hands as she tried to touch him. Kimberly quivered fearfully by his reaction to her touch. He was suddenly irritated by her."Leave." He demanded in a hoarse tone."Your highness, miss George took care of you all night." Andrew explained."She is also responsible for my situation." Henry pointed out."Henry, I'm sorry. It's my fault that I didn't tell you the truth from the beginning.. I am so sorry." Kimberly apologized and sobbed."I do not want to see you, please leave." Henry spoke through gritted teeth.Kim stood up hesitantly and left the room, leaving Henry under the care of Andrew. We cried hard as she got outside the ward. She knew that Henry wouldn't believe anything she said. Kim went back to the hotel in tears and as she got there, she began to pack up her belongings. She wasn't comfortable staying there anymore. She feared that Henry might do something to her since she got him angry.Kimberly continued crying silently in the taxi, she had nowhere in p
The morning sun shines brighter than any other day. Kimberly woke up and began doing the chores. Before granny Alba could wake up to do anything, Kim was already almost done with the chores. It was her own way of appreciating the old woman for taking her in for so many days and feeding her. Kimberly felt indebted to the woman for sheltering her."She did all these? How long did it take her?." Granny Alba thought inwardly. Although she heard the noises almost an hour ago, she didn't want to believe that Kim did all these chores within such a short while."Erica, you shouldn't be doing these. Your leg wound, it might get infested if you continue." She instantly explained, trying to stop Kim."It's fine granny, I'm used to these kinds of jobs. You know, I used to be a maiden." Kim explained. Granny Alba could see through her lies. Although Kimberly did the chores perfectly well, granny could see that she wasn't used to it. That day, when she found Kimberly lying unconscious on the floor
"How may I help you, sire?." The woman spoke politely.Andrew stepped forward to speak. "We are searching for someone. It was reported that she stopped by this market earlier." Andrew displayed an image of Kimberly on his tablet for the shopkeeper. Granny Alba couldn't help but sneak peek on the image and when she realized that it was Kimberly, she became dumbstruck. She was unaware of the identities of these men and she dare not let them find Kim.The storekeeper riveted her gaze towards Alba and Henry vigorously. She knew that Kimberly was the woman who had just left the store to get Alba's purse."Madam Harper, I will stop by later to pick my groceries." Granny Alba instantly made and excuse and left the store.Henry suspected her for a moment noticing how she reacted after seeing Kimberly's pictures."Did you see her?." "No, I didn't. This woman hasn't been here to this store. ever." The store keeper denied. "Your highness, we could still look at other places." Andrew suggested.
"Someone who looks similar to your wife was brought into my hospital earlier and it seems that she's pregnant." Those words reoccurred in Henry's memories as Andrew stepped on the accelerator and they were on their way to the hospital.In a short time, they arrived at the hospital. Henry didn't hesitate to meet the doctor who took him to Kimberly's room.She Henry got there, he saw Granny Alba sitting beside Kim. He thought she was familiar. It turned out that his hunch was right. The woman who behaved suspiciously at the local store had some relation to Kimberly's whereabouts.Granny Alba jerked up awkwardly after seeing Henry enter the hospital ward."Who are you?." She asked and it almost seems like she was about to attack him."Leave her alone, she doesn't owe you anything." She yelled. "If you want to take her from here, you'll have to pass through me first." She declared. Andrew rushed inside after hearing the woman speak."The woman in question is my wife so I have every right t
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
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 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
