She opened the door and stepped into the chamber feeling quite nervous.For the past two days, she had spent time with Leonard at the table. They had spoken about the future and other things and she was starting to grow comfortable around him and now, he had just summoned her to his room that morning.When she got into his room, he invited her to sit on the sofa adjacent to his bed. While rubbing her palms against each other tenderly, Sylvia sat and cast her gaze to the floor.Leonard cleared his throat loudly and threw his back against his chair.“David told me everything.” he began. He then took a deep breath. “I'm sorry!”Sylvia finally looked up at him.“I'm sorry for lying to you. When the autopsy report came and it was revealed that Ben was strangled, I was lost.” Leonard said.Sylvia sighed.“The thing about influential people is that sometimes, you can't differentiate your fr
Flashback!“What if I can't do it?” she said with trembling lips.The man sighed and walked up to her. He slowly reached for her hand. He then opened her palm and placed two pills inside.“We’ve talked about this over and over again June. You are not a baby. You can pull this off so go out there and show Daddy that you're a smart ass.” he said and patted her hand tenderly.June opened her palm and stared at the pills. Then, she slipped them inside her purse and took a deep breath.“I've done a lot for you child and I'm not asking you to pay me but if you can pull this one trick off, I'll be the happiest man in the world. I won’t ask for another favor other than this but if only she knew that it was just the beginning of his endless demands.She shut her eyes and felt a sense of calmness beginning to envelop her as he continued motivating her. He thenmoved closer to her and grabbed her arm like he was going to hug her.Then he began to whisper into her left ear.“If you want to make it
“You said we were only visiting June. You didn't tell me we were also going to see Cathrina.” Sylvia lamented as they traced their way towards David’s car.“If we are bent on making things right then we have to leave no stone unturned,” David replied. When they got to the car, Sylvia threw her back against the vehicle and heaved a deep sigh. David moved closer to her. He tilted her jaw with two fingers. “As long as you're with me, you don't have to worry about anything.”She threw her arms around him. “I love you, David.”“I love you most.”They got into the car and drove away. After driving for about twenty minutes, they made it to the detention center. As usual, Cathrina was informed of her visitors and she granted them an audience. The moment Sylvia and David walked hand in hand, Cathrina became emotional. She sniffled as tears began to well up in her eyes. The duo settled on the bench facing her. “You know what Sylvia? I used to think you were one of those gold diggers who
“Did you just hear what Fred said?” Sylvia flung the question at David the moment they walked into his room. “We can't get married in ten days.”David crashed by the edge of his bed with a sigh.The restless Sylvia began to pace.“Come and sit with me,” David told her.She didn't. She kept pacing back and forth.David stood up and grabbed her by the hand. He then led her to the bed.“There’s a lot on our plate David. There’s June to deal with, there's Griffin, and now…“Do you trust me?” David interrupted.She turned to him. “You know I do.”David swallowed and took charge of her hands. “There’s something you need to know.”He was staring directly into her eyes. Sylvia felt a tingling in her eyeballs. “There’s something you need to know too.”David sighed and then cleared his throat loudly. “I'll go first.”Sylvia encouraged him with a nod.“I met June recently.”Her eyes widened in horror.David didn't take his eyes off her. “I left home the other day because I couldn't bring myself
“You have five minutes!”Sylvia shut her eyes and opened them immediately. “You can do this, Sylvie.” She muttered under her breath and began marching forward.After making breakfast that morning, she decided to visit Cathrina at the detention center. She had thought about it the whole night and was ready to face one of her demons.She walked up to cell 4 as instructed by the woman at the counter and before opening the door, she stopped to ponder.What if David rages mad at the idea that she went behind his back to confront Cathrina?She sighed and reminded herself that she was on a personal quest. She will only be at peace once the circumstances surrounding her father’s death were laid to rest and now that she was carrying David’s child, she wanted to be at peace with the Wells.Sylvia pushed the door open and when she stepped in, she met Cathrina looking at her straight in the face.“I was taken aback when the officer told me one Sylvia Baker came to see me.” Cathrina spat and motio
David pulled open the door to his chamber. He walked inside with a bright smile and traced his way to the mirror.“I'm going to be a father!” David muttered under his breath as goosebumps took charge of his body. He stared at his reflection with prestige. Amidst the chaos, David never thought that he could be this happy. He cupped his face with his hands and broke into a resounding laughter. He quickly moved to the table beside his bed and began to pull all the cabinets out. When he got to the last cabinet, he collected all the photos and dumped them on the floor.When David returned to New York, he had asked his agent to get him the pictures of all the curvy girls in town; The one's he found appealing to the eye and for the past few months, he had been exploring them.“No more!” David declared and seized the pictures.He grabbed a matchbox and dashed out. When he got to the backyard, he set the pictures ablaze and headed back to his room to continue his cleanup.He then collected
David was about to usher Sylvia into the car when Eleanor slipped out of her corner behind a grocery store. Immediately after David pulled up right in front of Sylvia, Eleanor stayed hidden.Sylvia wiped her tears with the edge of her palms and moved closer to Eleanor who was greeting her with open arms.They shared a warm embrace.“We have a new mummy on the block!” Eleanor spat.Sylvia broke off their embrace and stared at Eleanor with astonishment.Eleanor giggled and squeezed her hands.David faced the women. “Eleanor called me when she saw you walking into that store.”“How did you know the kind of pill I came for?” Sylvia threw the question at Ellie.Eleanor folded her arms across her chest. “Well, I followed you inside the pharmacy and when I saw you pick those abortion pills, I made my judgment and decided to get baby daddy.”Sylvia exhaled.“How could you even think of doing such a thing without informing me, Sylvia? I thought we were each other's rescue mate?” Ellie said and
Chapter 105Sylvia kept tossing from one edge of the bed to the other. She had settled for green tea that night because her stomach couldn't take anything. She had lost count of the times she had thrown up that night.It was past midnight yet she was unable to fall asleep. Her joints were aching and her head was hurting badly. She was just restless. She sighed and tried to sit up. The moment she threw her back against the wall, she felt her intestines tying into a knot. She groaned in agony. Sylvia couldn't wait for morning so she could hit the hospital. She had one thing in mind; food poisoning.***“Are you ready?” Maurice demanded after Sylvia stepped out.It was a few minutes past 9 am. Immediately after she woke up, she told Maurice that he was going to drive her to a hospital so immediately after breakfast, Sylvia got changed and then set out to meet him.“Yeah,” she replied and hurried after Maurice to the parking lot. He helped her get settled in front and after he was r
“You came to gloat? Go ahead son, it's what I deserve. Your father didn't make a mistake by keeping me here.” Cathrina said and hugged her knees with her chest.David moved closer to her and positioned his hands on his hips. “Did you say, my father? The last time I checked, you wanted to give me away to someone very easily.”She exhaled sharply and gave a smile but beneath her smile, David could see her pain.“You didn't care about how I felt or what I stood for. You just wanted to fulfill your selfish wish but I promise you, your lover will be apprehended and you guys might get to enjoy a little reunion before you end up in prison.” David said.“Leonard is a good man!”David chuckled. “Since when did you figure it out?”“I didn't just figure that out but I've always known from the start but to be honest, I have never been fair to him. I married him and never loved him.” she then look up at David. “When you meet someone you love, don't hesitate to spend the rest of your life with them
"Sir, we're here." The driver announced as he swerved into the garage of the Wells Mansion.David slid out of the Mercedes, feeling quite antsy at the thought of being back home. The Wells Mansion was huge and fancy. A whopping two-story building that left a pauper's mouth dry. The evening sky, a swirling mix of blue and orange rested above the lit-up house. Before the building itself was a wide spread of well-tended shrubs on either side of the road.It was a good thing then that David was no pauper. He barely gave the huge building before him a glance. Dressed elegantly in a gray, three-piece, Italian suit, he strode towards the arched entrance where a familiar face greeted him with a wide grin."Well well well, if it isn't Old Benny!" David grinned, baring a perfect set of white teeth. His green eyes glinted with mirth as he clasped a hand on the butler's shoulder."Welcome home, Young Master," Ben Baker greeted, smiling so widely, David thought his cheeks had to hurt."Is it a wel...
