Kenneth got to his house only to meet her live and vibrant. Save for the scar, her body is as clean as a porcelain jug in a way that no one would ever thought she had alot of allergies on her body the previous day. Tanya even took the initiative to prepare dinner for him which marvelled Kenneth the more. "You shouldn't have done all these?" Tanya smiled as she collected his bag and coat, "You took care of me throughout yesterday when I was sick, is preparing dinner for you too much?" Kenneth smiled simply and agreed to her terms. While eating, he took the initiative to ask, "Can you go over to your mum's place for some days?" Tanya's brown perked up, "Why should I?" "I'm traveling to China tommorow and I don't know how long it will take before I come back, it's bussines" Tanya drank the water in her cup and sighed before replying, "So? If you're traveling why should I go to my mom's place?" Kenneth dropped the cutleries and replied, "You're still sick Tanya. How can I leave y
As Tanya and Kenneth landed at the airport, she received a text from her mum inviting her back home. She said to Kenneth, "Drop me at the subway station I need to go and see mum" "Shall we go together?" He asked. Tanya shook her head, "No, she just wants to see me after discharging from the hospital" "Alright, I'll also head to our house to tell dad about the outcome of the meeting" When they got to the subway station, Tanya's got off and boarded a bus leading to her stepfather's house.Meanwhile, As Kenneth drove into The Griffin's house, Celine came out with an enthusiastic smile to welcome her brother. "Welcome back brother" She beamed while Kenneth hugged her with a smile. "How have you been? Did you eat well?" He asked as they entered the house. "What about Sister-in-law? Didn't she go with you? Where is she?" Kenneth explained the situation to her and walked into his dad's study only to met it in a sullen and disheveled state. His dad is breaking several things and fal
Tanya got home that day look very downcast. Without speaking much to him, she had he dinner and got prepared for bed. Kenneth could noticed something off in her and decided to start a conversation before she departed to her room. "I won't ask if you're okay when I know you're not" he started and walked to the drinks cabinet and grabbed some bottles of alcohol, "Why don't we chat over some drinks?" Tanya felt like she needed it at that moment to deal with the mental stress Bianca put her through. She nodded in agreement.They settled down at the balcony while watching the stary sky. There was a long moment of silence between them. Just drinking and watching the sky and sighing simultaneously. After what seems like ages spent with sighing, Kenneth spoke first, "Well, I agree that we might be married for some certain reasons but we could share personal problems and concerns to each other. Don't you think the silence between us when we're not talking about work is precarious?" Tany
Kenneth's car rolled into a neighborhood where many private building had their own parking lot and navigated through gated keypads. Tanya marvelled with awe as she saw the rich and luxurious environment and the amazing streetlights. Tanya expected him to stop the car soon but instead the car continued till the end of the neighborhood. "Where are we going?" She asked. "You'll see when we're there" After sometime, he stopped the car in front of a luxurious fountain gushing with cold water while a stature bearing a pregnant woman was at the middle. "Wow, this is a pleasant surprise" she exclaimed as she got down from the car and rush towards the fountain. Kenneth also got down from the car and leaned beside it while admiring the smile on her face."Why did you bring me here?" She asked finally. Kenneth walked lazily towards her and they both sat the edge of the fountain, "I don't know, I just wanted you to see it. Actually... You're the person that brought me here" Tanya was sur
As Kenneth sat at the back of his limousine which was conveying him and his wife to the airport, he received a call from a subordinate. "Sir, the security team had found out about the CCTV footage you gave them last month" As he said this, Kenneth quickly the brothel where he met Tanya, the drink spike hasn't been clarified."Oh yes, what have you find out about it?" The subordinate was silent for a moment before he responded, "We have found the original CCTV footage which means the one you found was manipulated. I have sent the original footage to your email"Kenneth ended the call and quickly checked his email and saw the video sent to him. His hair stood at one end immediately he saw how the drink was spiked. The person who spiked the drink was Frank Harper and it wasn't Tanya's drink that he had spiked. It was the drink he had ordered. In the video, the waiter had served the drink in the cup and was answering other people before bringing it to where Kenneth was when Frank sp
It took them thirty minutes to arrive at the mansion after shopping for the whole day.Roland had arranged most of the workers at the mansion to come and welcome the boss and his wife. Tanya felt flattered by the majestic welcoming she was given by the workers as the madam of the house. "Ken, don't you think this welcome is too much? It's not as if we're real or....." "So you expect me to tell me them that?" He asked with a jest as they walked into the house on the red carpet while almost 30 workers are lined by the edge of it bowing to them."They have to welcome me of course since this is the first time they'll see me yet I pay their salary every month. I haven't been here since I brought this place." Kenneth explained."Wow" Kenneth and Tanya walked up the stairs while Roland walked after them. Tanya noticed that Kenneth also had men for securities based on their outfits and guns. "You even had your own security team for the mansion?" she asked out of curiosity.Kenneth smil
Ryan took the flower vase in his room and smached it to the ground angrily. "Where on earth did Kenneth take Tanya to?" He shouted as he was prepared to smash another one but Frank who had been sitting down across the room rushed to him and collected the vase from him. "No, No Ryan this is too much you have to calm down" He pushed him to the chair, "Why Is Kenneth getting all things to himself? Why!!!!?" "How will you find an answer to that if you keep shouting? Calm down and let's talk about this" Frank admonished again. Grudgingly, Ryan sat opposite Frank still painting and fuming. Frank walked over the freezer and brought him water which Ryan gulped hurriedly before panting again. "You see what I'm saying is happening? I remembered tell you that of your brother is extinct then things will be good for you" Frank said. Ryan rolled his eyes, "Are you trying to tell me that I haven't been doing that? That punk always get away from me one way or the other like.." Frank sighed, h
Kenneth was startled by her sudden question. Shoving a towel towards her, he said, "You're naked go and dress up" She collected the towel and dropping it to the ground. "No Ken, tell me what happened at Pyramid High, why is everyone warning me against you?" Kenneth sighed. He turned back and sighed in exasperation. Tanya became remorseful immediately and thought she had offended him in one way or the other. “I’m sorry if I make you uncomfortable, I'm just too dizzy and seems like I'm seeing things" She held her hand to her cheek.Kenneth turned around, "I understand you, it's normal to feel this way. What were you doing in the bathroom?” he asked in a confused tone.“It’s probably bcause I’ve never really used the bath tub before and it seems like I have been submerged under water for a long time, but I didn’t expect that sense of vertigo when I got up...”So that was what had happened, Kenneth remembered that the scent oil that was added to the tub water also had relaxing effect
TWO WEEKS LATERAt Ryan and Bianca's home, They both stared at each other in silence, allowing their eyes to communicate what words could not. Thousand words that can't be conversed was exchange within this short time if eye contact.She noticed that there was still sorrow in his eyes, pains and agony like that of a lonely soul shone clearly in his face.Bianca can't help the shudder that escaped her chest. The priceless expression on his face was very nice that she raised her hand and touched his face. On the other hand, he observed the twinkle in her eyes, he can't help but be mesmerised at the lady before him. No doubts, Bianca is definitely a very pretty young woman that looked very innocent. Seeing her face to face like this, a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips gracefully breaking the pain and agony that shown in his eyes. He wasn’t sure why he had told her that he no longer hated her, but he knew it was the truth. The hatred he once harbored had dissipated, the
After a while, Bianca slept. The doctor diagnosed that she had malaria coupled with her pregnancy and should spend more days in the hospital.Kenneth informed Celine of the news. She was the happiest when she heard that Bianca got pregnant of her second child. When he came back, Ryan nervously put his hand on her hot forehead, and the burning temperature left him distraught.He quickly took off his jacket and shirt, which were still warm from his body, and wrapped them around Bianca to shield her from the cold despite the hospital duvet around her.Bianca weakly opened her eyes. The man had given her almost all his clothes. At this moment, he wasonly wearing his black vest.His muscular body was a work of art. His rugged and untamed charm stood out in the wilderness.“Do you still feel tired honey?” Ryan asked in a raspy voice while fixating on her flushed face.“Uh… It’s cold. I feel so cold…” Bianca hugged herself and shivered.Ryan drew a deep breath. With downcast eyes, he sprea
She was used to the pain, though. “What’s the point of asking these questions now, Ryan ?Are you delusional to think that I will be glad to go back to you because of the baby?"Bianca narrowed her eyes, her gaze vulnerable. She rarely laid herself bare, and it tugged at Ryan’sheartstrings. “I loved you and always supported you Ryan but you decided to leave me for an anonymous fellow. I'm happy that we don't have to worry about all that now but did you you know the pain I experienced because of your foolishness? Our daughter is 2 years old yet you let her know that her father and mother are divorced? I don't have any reason to be with you anymore" Tanya and Kenneth stood by the doorstep watching the drama.Her strong emotions cut Ryan like a knife. His pale lips shivered, and he could not shake off the lumpin his throat.He realized that he was the monster.Ryan trapped her in a loveless marriage and nearly destroyed her.“Do you really mean it, Bianca?” Refusing to give up, Ryan
Bianca complied with the police too and was jailed for some months. Celine stopped working and left the country again. Since he came to confess his sins himself and it was a matter that has already been forgotten, Ryan was given 2 years in prison and was later pardoned 6 months later when Bianca came to pay the fine. Bianca refused to go back to Ryan after everything even though they kept meeting once in a while. As Ryan drove to the hospital, he was constantly looking at Bianca who laid at the back seat not moving. His heart raced in panic 'Nothing must happen to you Bianca. We may be divorced but I don't want you to leave me now. Please' Before he arrived at the hospital, he pinged Gaston's contact but it was left unanswered.Then he used voice mail to say, "Bianca fainted and i have taken her to the hospital, meet us at People's hospital"In the next moment, he pulled up at the hospital parking lot and took Bianca into the hospital in frenzy. The nurses brought the stretche
"How dare you do all these without my permission?" Kenneth's stoic and commanding voice asked angrily. Standing beside him was Tanya, Ryan and Frank. Celine was so shocked that she almost yelled in fright. Bianca was surprised too, she doesn't know how Tanya and Kenneth who was said to be out of the country was here. "Ryan, did you call them?" she asked with a shaky voice. Ryanwalked up to her and held her, "Did you think i will refuse what you say? or have you forgotten that you are my mother now?"Bianca smiled generously at this praise before facing Kenneth and Tanya. "I am so sorry Tanya that I didn't tell you abou this beforehand, I thought we could handle it alone"Tanya only smiled, "You don't have to be sorry sis, we are here now" Kenneth was still looking very angry and intimidating. "Celine Griffin I am asking you, did you know about any of this?" Seeing that she was beaten at her own game and was now at the mercy of her brother. Celine's heart jumped to her throat. S
The next day, Bianca had left the cooking class to drop Chiquita as usual when a red sports car whizzed past her and stopped. The driver lowered the shades and from it, Celine Griffin stuck her head out. "Hello sister-in-law?" Bianca furrowed her eyebrows. She wondered who the little witch as she had called Celine knew where she was and wondered why she came to her. Bianca entered the car and then Celine drove to a seaside. In the car, Bianca had secretly pressed and hold the volume button of her phone like Ryan had set it in case of emergency when they were still married. When they landed, Celine paced up and down while Bianca sat at the bonnet of the sports car looking at her. She guessed that Celine is now aware that her cover was blown. Indeed Celine knew because she had planted a voice recording device under Ryan's bed. "What is it? Why have you brought me here?" Bianca asked.Celine scoffed. "You are kinda smart, which I like, mind telling me why you done all you done? I
Meanwhile at Celine's workplace, Rose stormed in with her eyeballs looking like a fiery pit. Celine now work at Pyramid High as a music and Dance teacher as that is where Keturah attends too. She had gave Rose her card before leaving that day. He gestured his accompanists to leave before facing Rose. "What gives you the audacity to come to my workplace, did you want me to be suspected? are we that close for you to have the guts to come uninvited?" Rose smirked and took a smile knife from the make up kits and shoved it towards him, "Celine Griffin is this our agreement? You want to kill Jesee so you sent an assassin to him without my knowledge is that what we agreed on?"Celine hissed and sat down, "What else should I have done? That bastard had the audacity to kill my father did you expect me to let him live? If not for you who said I should let him suffer I would have killed him a long time ago!" Rose stood in daze for a moment to process the news. Celine wasn't looking gentle,
By the time Rose arrived at the hospital, Ryan has been treated again and was now better.She walked into the room and met him watching the TV. As Rose was about to pulled the chair to sit, her leg slipped from the high heels she was wearing causing her ankle to sprain.Ryan jerked from his bed with worry. "Are you okay?"Rose rolled her eyes and sat down as if nothing had happened and sat down, "I should ask you that, I heard that an assassin came here today?"Ryan sighed, "Are you asking me that silly question? You and the fool you work for probably sent him""Don't worry, Once you have suffered enough we are going to send to where you will only rest and do nothing but rest" Rose replied.There was a moment of silence between the two of them while Ryan stared at Rose like a lost puppy. Rose noticed his gaze and quipped,"Why are you looking at me as if I owe you something or like I hold you life?""No, I was just wondering why you're doing all these. Bianca will really be worried w
Ryan Griffin slowly opened his eyes, squinting at the sunlight streaming in through the window. It took him quite a while to finally sit up with some effort.His head and legs was bandaged. It took him a trillion minutes before he realized that he was in an hospital.Ryan hasn't regained any of his memories by this time. He felt his head throbbing in pain and tired to stand up ans grab the cup of water nearby.He was unaware of everything happening outside, as he sighed uneasily. It was when he laid on the bed and closed his eyes with much difficulty before he realized that he was involved in an accident.Ryan's heart throbbed as he remembered this harsh day. It was actually when he was leaving Dark Lake after visiting Bianca.The door creaked open with a gentle push.He lifted his head and looked toward the direction of the door, only to see a doctor wearing a white coat and a face mask walking in.The door took the water and propped Ryan up to fed him. At this time, Ryan is now bett
