Tanya stood up from where she was crouching after crying for a long time and goes to her house. She packed some necessary things her mother would need and also changed her dress. Tanya booked a roadside bicycle and whistled as she drove to the hospital where her mother was admitted. She whistled as she drive through the rowdy traffic thinking of Kenneth’s daughter she saw earlier. ‘Why did she say she didn’t have a mum?’ she wondered. She pulled up at the red traffic light and at this moment, her phone rang. It was from the doctor. “Yes doctor? I’m on my way to the ……….”“Miss Tan, we have a problem!” Tanya was surprised. “Problem?” “Yes, your mum’s heart has increased its tempo. She just slipped into a coma, I am afraid she might not make it if we don’t schedule her surgery now” the doctor’s alarming voice came from across the phone making Tanya’s heart sank. “Do something then! Schedule the surgery, I’ll make sure I pay” she cried. This time, the traffic light had changed to g
Tanya sat haggardly in front of Catherine's portrait staring at it without a word while tears dropped from her eyes. Thinking back to the fact that she would be alone in this world without anyone to lean on is already scary not to talk of the fact that Kenneth didn't recognize her. Six years ago, after Charles Griffin's property was shared, Tanya had been taken back to the prison unknown to her that huge conspiracies has been waved against her. Everyday till she went into labor, she would dream of Kenneth wishing he woke up anytime soon and come to free her. Mr Brown who is an intermediary between the two of them is not helping matters either as he didn't have any fruitful message for her. She remembered that the day Mr Brown came to inform her that Kenneth died, was the day she put into labor and that same day, the prison yard van conveying her to the hospital encountered an accident. She remembered seeing Kenneth that day, she remembered calling for his name before blackout.
The private jet landed in Italy International Airport the next day. Tanya was the first to hop out of the jet to breathe in fresh air. After being in the jet for 8 hours although the night. Keturah Griffin hoped out after her grinning ear to ear as she was given a pack of candy and his father, just as plain as usual and his aunt, busy taking pictures like she always does. Tanya looked up in the sky and felt greatful for what had transpired in her life so far. She remembered when she left Italy with her mother. Who'll have thought that she won't come back with her mother again?How ironic. She thought. The little girl rushed to her, and showed her what she had written on her writing pad. "You're not going to leave me again are you?" Tanya smiled pleasantly and stroked her cheek, "I will only leave if you refused to talked to me" she pouted as if she was angry. They all left the airport afterwards. While Celine returned to wherever she lives.When they were in front of her stepfa
The cab halted in front of the tall and gigantic building and immediately Tanya rushed out with her luggages. She stopped at the door and click the doorbell severally all to no avail no one is answering. She fell frustrated as she tried thinking of what the door password might be but at that moment of distress, her mind couldn't think of anything. Then she thought of calling Kenneth to come and open the door but her second instincts quickly warned her against it. As she still stood there, Celine's car pulled up in the car pack and she came running towards Tanya. "I'm happy you're here, Bro Ryan has been released from the prison there's chaos inside right now and you're the only one that can stop them" Celine said again in an alerting voice and punched the password and the door clicked open.Celine stormed into the house but Tanya was still. She stood at the staring blankly. Celine looked back, "What are you doing? Let's go" "How will I stop them? You and I know that Kenneth did
When she had laid Keturah to rest, Tanya gently left the room and close the door behind her with a huge sigh of relief. Her eyelids are growing heavy at this moment but she tried her best to get a grip and walked to the living room. There, Kenneth was sitting on the sofa reading files. He lifts his head up to look at her and removed the Harry Potter doppelganger goggle he was wearing. "She's asleep?" He asked. Tanya nodded feeling awkward around him, she didn't know maybe you say she's leaving or she actually has nowhere to go. "Em.... I..." "You can't leave again for tonight, it's late, you're free to sleep over and leave tommorow" He interrupted. Tanya's heart leapt with joy, she didn't know if she should be thankful or not but a pleasant smile spread across her face. Kenneth stood up and walked towards the room beside Keturah's and opened the door. Tanya entered the room with her bags and was marvelled at the arrangement of the room. She gasped. This is when Kenneth realiz
The next morning, Celine who came around early in the morning and Keturah who was already dressed for school scratched their heads as Kenneth and Tanya stood before them. Kenneth and Tanya both had terrible looks on their faces as if they fought although the night. Tanya wore a sexy styled office outfit she had picked from Celine's dress which defined her womanly curves with precision.Kenneth scrabbled something on her writing pad and showed it to Tanya who almost shout on the girl as she read what she wrote, "What happened between you and dad?" "As your dad who never fulfills his promises" She quipped. Kenneth shot her a glance and replied with a suave tone, "Is that coming from someone that's seducing me? Huh, such a shameless woman" Keturah moved close to him and showed him the writing pad and his response was really very rude, "Ask your nanny! You asked me to bring her in, I never thought she had this so much ambitions for coming close to you" The two glared at each other
The black piece of cloth that was used to cover Tanya was removed suddenly when the car has stopped and she was brought out. Throughout the ride, she didn't bother herself to struggle with her captors as she knows it will be very useless there is only one person who could be the orchestrator of this; RYAN GRIFFIN! The dimly lit room casted a shadow in the man sitting on the chair opposite where Tanya was. He stood up gingerly and ordered the men to release her. True to her speculations, it was Ryan Griffin. He had a malicious smirk on his face immediately they looked at each other. "As expected of my blood sister who is also my sister-in-law you look very carefree" He said. Tanya was breathing heavily and not replying him. She stood there thinking of all possible ways to escape this but no Idea came to her mind."I invited you for a drink, shall we?" He asked as he threw a bottle of alcohol to her but Tanya refused to catch and let it smatch on the floor. After a while, she clea
Kenneth covered her with his coat when they got into the car. The ride was a very silent and boring one as they drove towards Kenneth's home. Kenneth didn't say anything, she was also busy trying to gather her thoughts. When they got inside, they met Keturah already asleep and a sticky note pasted on her cheeks saying, "Lovebirds, I have feed your dear daughter but she refused to sleep without her father and Miss Tan here" Tanya smiled and made to touch the girl but she jerked awake immediately. "Miss Tan, I was waiting for you" She wrote on her pad.Tanya sat down and pulled the girl in her embrace and she fell asleep almost immediately as if she had been waiting to sleep in her embrace.Kenneth offered to make dinner as the workers have retired for the night. Tanya sat there patting Keturah in the head while thinking if what Ryan said earlier. Kenneth didn't remember her, and if he eventually does, will he ever forgive her for loosing his child whine he cherished so much?As
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
