Some minutes till the reunion time, Celine spend every bit of her time getting Tanya ready for the event. Shades of make-up upon another, Tanya was almost exhausted of all these. Its. It her thing to wear makeups but Celine had said: "That annoying witch that called herself Serah will try every way to see you fall" Tanya had grumbled severally, but under sister-in-law, she got a manicure and pedicure done. She was driven by the chauffeur to join Kenneth who just came out of the office towards the car park. "Look who we have here. My dear wife is really serious about meeting her husband's friends so much that she had to get a make-up done" Kenneth teased. She slapped his chest playfully, "All these is for you" Celine who seems to be the third wheel coughed lightly, "Dear husband and wife don't forget that there's a single souls here and you're really oppressing me" They all laughed at her cruel joke. Celine left with the chauffeur leaving the husband and wife alone. "Don't
Immediately she closed the restroom behind her, Tanya heaved a long sigh of relief. She eased herself and cleaned her face with some water, still wiping the water that was splashed on her face spoiling the make-up, the restroom door was kicked open mercilessly. She looked back and met the angry face of Serah Klein. Tanya had expected this much from her. “Hi Miss Serah, Did you come here to sulk or piss?" Serah didn't reply but hissed with disgust and walked to the mirror to redo her makeup. Tanya smirked, Kenneth's words earlier is very sharp like arrow, she expected this much. Serah adjusted herself and asked in the process, “Spill it,” she said. “What did you mean Miss Serena” “You don’t have to keep giving me such an innocent and puppy face, speak, why did you come here with him? Is it to make me jealous for real?" Tanya stared at her with a frosty look cluelessly, what was this lady saying suddenly? She wondered. Tanya blinked innocently. “Miss Serah I think you
Kenneth Griffin sat in the middle of the meeting with the stakeholders without blinking an eye. The old men and women look at him with hatred in their eyes without a word too. The secretaires standing behind them seems to be wary of the too precautions silence and each secretary would occasionally whisper to their bosses. "Can you all just tell me why summon this emergency meeting without prior notice?" Kenneth asked after the silence that pervaded the air for too long. Angrily, a man stood up and banged his hand on the table. "Shut the hell up kid! What should we expect when we nominated a kid that sleeps around with women as the CEO" "What did you mean?" Kenneth was surprised. The expression on everyone's face was very grave and unwelcomed, no one can explain to him. There's no secretary behind him as he hasn't hied anyone since Tanya left. The stakeholders kept murm again making Kenneth more lost in the abyss of disarray. "Ryan Griffin should have be the one here today if
Bianca was the one that answered the door when the Frank Harper stormed into the house angrily. "What are you doing?" Bianca almost yelled because at that time, Ryan was away. Frank grabbed Bianca's arm. "Lets end this madness Bianca, come with me" "What are you saying? What came over you all of a sudden? end what Madness?" Bianca was clueless. Frank took her hand as if to drag her out of the house with worry, "Now I get it Bianca, Frank is trying to use us to get his goal then he might kill us later" They are almost at the door when Bianca snap her hands away from him angrily, "Stop this Frank! You're a dumb soul looking for accompanist but I'm not ready" Frank was left dumbfounded. He had thought that he could convince her to leave with him again but seems Like she had already made up her mind not to leave. "I'm not going with your Frank. I have unfinished bussines here. Did you think I'm so stupid to be staying with Ryan foolishly without any prior plan? Continue fooling yo
Roland sat across Tanya and Kenneth as if he was afraid to talk given the boring gaze the both bombarded him with. Kenneth had to leave the office immediately Roland called him regarding the paternity of Keturah.Tanya was not left out of the shock as Kenneth also rushed home to pick her so they to the place Roland stays together. She was most surprised to see Roland again after so many years and the fact that Kenneth hid it from her that they were both still in connection added to her confusion. Hearing that her child whom she thought has been dead was alive almost made her faint if not that she was strong hearted. “Will you two just stop looking at me as if I was some ghost or alien? Did you know the stress I am currently under because I had to find out that your child was alive?” Roland interrupted the staring competition with his supposedly sarcastic words but the couple’s eyes didn’t leave his.Roland held his head with frustration before heaving a long sigh of exasperation a
The Harbor is one of largest harbors in Italy, and occupies a vast area. If one didn’t experience it themselves, they simply couldn’t comprehend the impression of vastness it gave off. Kenneth had to go alone and leave Tanya with Roland because she had insisted on following him. Kenneth can never risk her life anymore.He was not so stupid for believing Sarah that easily but when Celine’s phone was unreachable and Keturah’s school said that she hasn’t appeared in school for that day, he had no choice but to believe Sarah. The blue sea stretched as far as the eye could see, while the sounds from the waves made the harbor seem exceptionally cold and lonely.After entering the harbor, the car revealed its prowess on the flat ground. If one gazed from afar, one would see a white sports car dashing across the harbor’s coast like a missile.The whole warehouse looked worn down, the rusted metal doors were slightly open, and by its side were discarded rocky materials and lime powder, looki
Charles Griffin walked towards his children, his expression was grave and unreadable. Kenneth staggered back, shock enveloped him. For a moment, Celine fainted but was revived when one of the men poured water on her. “How can this be?” Kenneth was thrown into an abyssal of disarray. Celine looked at her father like a ghost, tears rushed down her face in quick succession, “Dad, you… you are dead aren’t you? I watched you get cremated dad” A cold laughter rented the air. Charles Griffin ordered the men to untie celine and Keturah. “Its so nice to see you again my children, if I had appeared to you uninvited you might be too startled to welcome me” He said. Kenneth had to cry this time around and rushed to his father and hugged him. The man also hugged his son while they both shed tears of joy. Kenneth was very happy and grateful that his father whom he thought was dead is still alive. Now he had more than one reason to nip Ryan Griffin in the bud. Celine also hugged her dad
Kenneth and his family sat in the sitting room watching TV while Tanya's head was on Kenneth's lap. It has been a tough day so far for the three of them. Keturah was lying on Tanya's laps too on the long sofa while she rubbed her stomach occasionally. "Daddy, what's grandpa's name?" Keturah suddenly asked when the film has ended and Kenneth was still searching for another channel. Tanya's has been told what happened and was more than happy to hear that Charles Griffin was still alive even though she still alive. For the fact that they have more than one reason to nip Ryan in the bud and her innocence will be proved is enough to be happy for. Kenneth stretched his hand and patted his daughters head with a smile, "Your grandpa's name is Charles Griffin" Keturah smiled with a cute pout. But the sleepiness is evident on her face Kenneth smiled and excused himself to go and lay her to sleep. When she was fully asleep, Kenneth and Tanya were still in the sitting room her head on his
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
