The dining became silent once more as they dug into their food. Brielle decided to overlook what she noticed reasoning that maybe her wit was playing games on her, and she was just imagining things.They moved to the living room to have a chat after dinner, the conversation was mainly George and Frederick discussing business. “So you guys couldn't walk out with me?” Lucy bawled at her children as they entered her room. “Mom please it was your choice to leave, don't pull into your problem with Dad.” Clifford chipped. “And you?” She turned to Sapphire who was on her phone. “Mom not again, you know how he is when it comes to Brielle, please don't act all surprised.” “Your guys sat there and watched a visitor shut me up in my own house.”“You don’t expect me to talk back at him.” Sapphire defended herself. Clifford gaped at his mother and sister.“I'm off, see you guys later.” Clifford declared, leaving the room.“Why is your brother so weak?”“You don't expect him to talk back at Ge
Brielle stood stiff, she couldn't get anything straight at the moment, everything appeared to be happening so fast, she fisted her palm in anger, she was furious, pissed, and pitiful at the same time, and her emotion was swirling. “So this was it, all this time she has been lying with him.” She couldn't hold her outrage anymore as she marched out to the door. “What are you doing?” George obstructed the door, holding her arm.“I want to talk to that bitch.” She blurted. “She needs a piece of my mind.”“You can't do that now, you need to calm down.” She snatched her hand from his hold and went up the window. “Do you think she will come clean with him?” “She has the choice of either doing it or you will do it.”“He deserves the truth, I can't believe she is so wicked, even to the man she claimed to love.” He walked to her and hugged her from the back, wrapping his hand around her neck.“Everything will be fine.” She sniffed rubbing her chin on his hand. There was a knock on the door
Lucy dreaded the upcoming meal, she had never hated having lunch the way she despised this one. Despite the room being full of air conditioner, Lucy has been feeling superheated, unnerved, everything chose to be wrong with her at that moment she didn't know who to lament to, after her last encounter with Brielle, she had been ramming her brain about how to evade her upcoming doom, she was tempted to call Clinton but she decided against knowing it will give him the upper hand if he finds the deep mess they are in. When she couldn't bear it anymore she let out a big outcry. Sapphire ran into her mother’s room, she screamed when she saw the state of her mother.“Mom!” She shook her lifeless body. “Mom, please don't do this.” Clifford busted into the room. He froze when he saw his mother on the floor in a pool of blood, too shocked to move, but he managed to take a little step forward. “Let's take her to the hospital.” The Butler spoke when he came inside the room. “What happened?” Bri
The food was served and they were in silence, making everything look more confusing to Brielle, they have never had a silent meal whenever she is at the table, it's always one banter and glare from either Lucy or Sapphire, and seeing them all composed came as a shock to her. Brielle has been glaring at Lucy giving all kinds of signals to speak but she seems to ignore her. They came to the end of their meal. She was about to speak when Lucy noticed this and cut her off. “Brielle, Sapphire has a few words to say to you.” She raised her eyebrow at them, confused about the whole drama happening, she turned her gaze to Sapphire waiting for her to speak.“Brielle, I want to say I'm sorry for all my childish and rubbish behavior towards you, I know I have been out of character.” She scowled at her. “Is that it? This whole drama this evening so this is what you guys have been up to.”“Brielle please, I know we have wronged you, all we are after is a peaceful family.”“Dad.” She called out.
“I think I fell for her pity story, which I'm not even sure it's true.” She avoided looking at him and threw her gaze out of the window. “I made myself vulnerable for her, she saw through my facade and took the opportunity, I couldn't stand her tears and her plea, so many emotions were swirling inside of me that I didn't know what to do.” She was so lost in her world, that she didn't notice that they had been driving around, for one hour now. He knew she needed the air. He went back to his hotel when he saw that she was asleep, he saw dried streaks of tears on her face, as he carried her up to his room. She woke up in the morning with a hand draped over her, she couldn't remember entering this room, and she was in his shirt. But she would remember the feel of this arm anytime, any day. She twisted and snuggled closer to him, burying her face in his chest. He stirred and drew her closer to his body by her waist. “Good morning.” He mumbled as he pecked her forehead. “Did I wake you
“So have you made up your mind?” George asked immediately she got of the phone with Nana. She nodded and squeezed the phone in her palm. “You can do it.” He drew her closet and packed her forehead. “I feel like I'm going to cower out when I see him.” She let out in a low tone. “How about I go with you.” “No no.” She blurted instantly shaking her head against the plan.“I think I will sought myself out, I will do it.” She left his embrace and went to change her clothes. She has never been so scared, no not scared, nervous about saying something, she knew this will come as blow to him, but he has to know before it's too late. She stood in front of his office, she has been standing there for five minutes , before she mustered the courage to knock. “Where have you been, you weren't taking your calls?”“I ran out battery, I'm sorry to have you fretted.”“You left without a word, I was afraid something might have happened to you.”“I'm fine, I just needed some fresh air.” She sat bri
“Sir here it is.” The butler handed a wrapped object to Frederick. After he returned from work, he had specifically ordered the butler to get him the spoon used by Sapphire and Clifford. He had a restless night, as he retired to bed, he could close his eyes, when he opted to work overnight, he wasn't getting anything straight, and his mind still bounced back to what Brielle said.He wasn't able to get enough sleep before his alarm barred. He was out of the house even before breakfast was ready. “Make it ready soonest.” He went straight to the hospital in the morning, he had arranged with the doctor last night, about the test. He handed the spoons for analysis over to the doctor. “I will sir.”The day went in a blur for Frederick, he couldn't get anything done in the office, and he excused himself of not going home that night.Brielle was worried about him, he wasn't taking any calls or replying to any messages. Everybody has been worried about him, he didn't divulge his location to
“I'm sure you don't know that you can't father a child.” Frederick went silent for a few seconds trying to apprehend what Lucy just said. “You know that brings me to the question, is Brielle really your child or another lost kid who thinks she has found a home with you.” Frederick was too stunned to say a word.“Lucy, are you playing with me.” “Oh no, Mr.Davies news flash you can't father a child. You. Are. Impotent.” She spelled it out for him. His world collapsed. “You know I tried many times to get pregnant by you, but it wasn't working, and I was left with no other choice than you find out whose fault it is, but I doubted it was my fault, knowing how fertile I am. As suspected it was your fault, you were impotent, I couldn't bring myself to tell you, because that would make you disregard me, I had to push my way into your life.”“I'm impotent.” He said not believing it, everything was just happening too fast, finding out that he wasn't the father to the children he had adored
