"Kimberly gave Andrew a pen on the second floor, retrieve it, I'm sure it's no ordinary pen". He finished speaking on the phone and returned to Kim. The lights turned off suddenly which made everyone anxious. Maybe it was a part of the show Elvis had prepared for the party, they didn't know.Bang.A sudden loud gunshot sounded from outside. 'We are under attack." Someone yelled out fearfully.Let the show begin. Elvis said in his thoughts.Several shots of bullets pierced through the glass windows.Everyone played on the floor to avoid getting hit by a stray bullet.In the darkness, Leonard held Kim's hand tightly. He didn't want anything happening to the woman. She is the only tool he had against his brother.The lights were turned back on after a while and some of the guests panicked and ran out of the mansion.Mr. Elvis's guards led everyone outside.Meanwhile, Leonard held Kim till they got to the car."Are you okay?"He asked her.She nods and adjusted her mask.He quickly starts
In the morning,Kim woke up weak and with a throbbing headache, the sedative was too strong for her body to take.She was thirsty, there was no water in the room. Kimberly manage to crawl to the door, she knocked for a while and the door opened.A guard rushed in and helped her up to the bed.Kimberly coughed on her dry throat and managed to speak tenderly., "I need water." She requested and the Bodyguard rushed out quickly to get her some.Andrew walked into the room, holding an invitation card."Boss, there's a message from the Williams Mansion, the emperor's birthday is in a few days." He reminded Henry who seemed distracted. "Your highness," Andrew called out calmly. "I heard you, drop the invite on the table". He spoke, cold and calm.The maid brought in food for Kimberly, "how do I know you didn't poison me?." She said.The maid didn't say a word, instead, she picked up a spoon and test a little bit from the food. Kim still had her doubts."You've eaten only a little, you might
Kimberly walked around the hallway of Clinton's mansion. These few weeks have been hard on her, her only mistake was meeting someone like Henry. Her life had been in danger ever since."Ouch!" Kimberly exclaimed, she tripped on something."Lalalalalala" a little boy mocked her."Who are you? Why did you do this?" She asked furiously."You came here to steal my brother's attention, I'm going to destroy you." The little boy was Threatened."Isn't that too harsh for a kid of your age to say? come help me up." She asked calmly. Gesturing for him to come closer. "Why would I? I'm not a hero, I'm a villain." He stated. Folding his hands across his chest."Ouch, it hurts!" Kim cried. Painful. Trying to gain the little boy's pity. And she successfully did.The little boy walked close to her and stretched his hand to help her up.Unexpectedly, Kim dragged him to the floor and tickled him. "Let go of me, let go of me" he cried. Struggling with her."What is your name?," She finally asked when
It "Tell me, what do you want?" Henry asked.Elvis ignored him, putting a large piece of meat in his mouth.Henry knew Elvis was not looking for something ordinary, he had lots of money and businesses."Open up, it's me," Thomas whispered as he knocked on Kimberly's room door. He knocked lightly on the door, so as not to attract the guards.Kimberly opened the door and allowed him to enter."what are you doing here?", She asked him calmly."I came to see you, Are you my brother's girlfriend?" Thomas asked.Kim couldn't control her laughter at that moment, "What would make the little kid think so?." She thought."Why do you ask? Tom""Don't call me Tom." He warned."I don't like my name being abbreviated, it's Thomas." He half yelled."Ok Thomas," Kim said like it was some command she had to obey.Kimberly laughed again, it was the first time she laughed in a very long time."You're the first woman I've seen him with since Florence died." The kid said, frowning."Florence?, Who is Flor
Kim opened her eyes slowly, her vision was a bit blurry but it clears gradually. "Where am I?" She asks rhetorically. The bedroom seems to be familiar yet she hasn't been there for too long.She stretched out her leg from under the duvet. She looked at her body, her dress was changed. The door opens,She pushes back her head returning to the sleeping position. He slowly sniffs the air around her, the person's cologne seems to be familiar but she could hardly recognize it. "Maybe she had encountered this person once." She thought.His warm hand touched her face slowly. "I know you're not sleeping." His cold voice spoke calmly.Kim hesitates for a moment, then she opened her eyes.On sighting Henry, she doesn't hold back, she hugged him tightly. She feared being kidnapped again, She felt relieved seeing Henry. Henry pulls out slowly and looked at her face. She seems to control her feelings, holding back the tears. Henry could see right through her, she had been through a lot. "Cry, cry
In a bar,Henry gulped a full cup of whiskey. He looked around, no lady seems to attract him.Andrew stood behind him, He wondered what transpired between him and Kim, Whatever it was, Henry was very angry at that moment.A slim lady dressed almost half-naked walks seductively towards Henry. Andrew blocks her path. "Let her," Henry ordered."Hi." She said calmly.Henry ignored her."I seen this situation, woman problem?" She asks.Henry twitched his face and forced a smile.The lady smiled back. "I'll take that for a yes, Who is she to you? your wife or girlfriend?.""What do you want?" Henry finally spoke."You can confide in me, it's okay if you don't trust me, I'm just trying to be a friend." She explained briefly.Henry poured himself another glass and poured another for the lady."Then I'll drink with you." Henry became drunk after a few glasses. Andrew helps him up. "Don't take me home, I'll go with her." He pointed at the lady. Andrew helped her take Henry to a hotel. The next
The colored lights in the VIP room switched continuously. A handsome man wearing a blue designer suit sits with his legs crossed, the lights shined on him which changed his hair color, and making him look more attractive. He seldom blinks his eyes as he stared at the woman who sat on the opposite side.Regina rubs her shoulders seductively and arranges a few of her hair behind her ear. She adjusted her white fur coat. Her bare neck was fully visible, it made her look sexier. She didn't look like the prostitute who approached Henry last night. She looked more like a businesswoman."Mr. Williams, It's nice to meet you again, you look cuter when drunk," she said sarcastically."Explain the lipstick stain on my shirt," Henry spoke coldly."Oh! that? It's just a souvenir from our passionate night together." She said proudly."We slept in different rooms." Henry reminded her."You can check the CCTV cameras if you don't believe me." He turned at Andrew. Call the hotel's security.Andrew dr
Kim knew he was holding himself not to fûck her in the dining room, she jerks up from his legs, but he dragged her back. "How did you know she made the lipstick stain on my shirt?" He said in a seductive tone, she could feel his hot breath on her neck."It's very obvious, the lipstick she had on was hand-made for her specially, That color is rare to find, back then at the brothel, Some girls make their make-up.""I'm impressed, My woman is smart." Henry complimented her.Kim faked a smile, "Can you let go now?" "No, let's stay this way for a while, it's comfortable." He stared into her deep blue eyes. He never had time to look at Kim this way, He felt she was the most beautiful lady at that moment.He raised his hands and touched her hair. "Go get dressed, let's get your hair done."The servants at the manor had been very busy, they'd been preparing for the emperor's birthday for more than a week. The Grand Hall was renovated.It was two special occasions, the emperor's birthday and

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.

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.

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 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
