Mrs Linda paced up and down her husband's study with fidgetiness. Ever since she had an argument with Ryan, he hasn't contacted her and she has been looking for all possible ways to make her son trust her again. She had promised herself to make sure she get the Big Griffin's Holdings for her son. But to get it, Tanya has to be gone first.Charles Griffin entered his study at last and sat down after sipping from the cup of water on the table before facing his wife."Why are you pacing up and down? Didn't you say you have a fare to attend?" Mrs Linda rushed to his side and massaged his shoulders lightly, "I have but I'm so worried honey. I mean I am very worried so much that I can't sleep" Charles's curiosity piqued, "Worried? What is troubling you so much? Did you need money?" She squeezed her face as if she was irritated about something but deep down her heart, she was in glee. "How can I demand money from you when our family source of income is at the brink of death?" "At the b
Suddenly, he rushed to his father and grabbed his collar.Mrs Linda's eye widened and shouted. "Ryan!!"Ryan wasn't listening to his mother but faced Charles Griffin with hard expression. "You can't do this to me dad. After all I am doing to make you like me? No dad, I'm your first son and your heir!" Charles Griffin shivered under his arms as Ryan clutched his collar. He managed to say, "You are just like the jerk that impregnated your mother. Your silly and baseless anger is one of the reasons I will never acknowledge you!" "Dad!!!!" Ryan shouted in anger and pushed him away. Charles Griffin screamed in anger as his head hit the sharp edge of the big table and immediately blood gushed out of his head in full current. Mrs Linda gasped in shock and covered her mouth with fear. Ryan also snapped out of his anger and saw what he had done.He rushed to the man so he could quickly check his wound and stopped his blood, but Mrs Linda shouted. "Don't touch him! Don't touch him, he's de
Catherine and Bianca's father rushed into the police station in frenzy. Tanya hasn't been locked up because of her preganancy. "Mum!!" She cried immediately she saw her mother. Catherine rushed to her daughter too with sobs and hugged her while crying. "How are you? I hope they didn't hurt you?" "Mum, I didn't do it. I promise I didn't even know that he was dead in the study" She cried in her mother's arms. "I know. I believe you my daughter, you didn't kill him I know that" Catherine pacified her in return. After the series of sobbing and lamentations, Tanya was taken for questioning all which her reply we're thesame that she didn't kill him. Celine, Ryan and Mrs Linda stormed into the police station after the questioning too. Before they came, Ryan ans Mrs Linda had went to Celine's school to burst the news to her telling her that Tanya killed her father. Immediately Mrs Linda saw Catherine, her hatred soared and she began her drama again, "Catherine is this y
TWO WEEKS LATERTanya who was put in a separate jail because of her preganancy sat in a corner with puffy eyes. Dark Circles formed around her eyes and hair messy and unkempt. Her belly is now bigger as her pregnancy is now 6 months old.She spent days in the jail fantasising about the past when her husband is there with her. Days when she'll sleep in his arms and inhale his masculine scent. Tears would drop from her face anytime she remembered this. Today is her trial, Mr Brown had came to visit her previously telling her that he'll arrange the best lawyer for her. But with no sage telling her, Tanya knows that there's no escape for her in this case.Some moments later, the police came and brought out of the cell. Mr Brown who was waiting for her rushed to her with the lawyer, "Don't worry madam, we will make sure we get you out today, I hired from Madrid, Roland arranged it"That is not the news she wants to hear, she lowered her voice as she asked, "What news did you have so f
AT MADRIDONE WEEK LATERKenneth Griffin sat up on the bed as the doctor remove the veil covering his face. The Illumination coming from the window almost blinded his vision and he quickly closed his eyes.When his eyes has grown accustomed to the light, he looked around his surrounding with wonderment. "Where is this? " He asked in a hoarse voice.Mr Brown and Roland entered. Roland almost cried when he saw his boss back on his feet. He quickly hugged him with tears. "Welcome back to life Master. Thank you for coming back to us. I miss you so much"Kenneth hugged him back, "How are you Roland? Why are my here?" Roland and Mr Brown looked at each other with surprise, "You don't remember how you got here?" Kenneth shook his head. The doctor came in afterwards, "He has temporary amnesia. His memory has been cleared starting from some years ago. So it's up to you to make him remember somethings" Kenneth didn't understand anything that they were saying instead he looked at them with
The lady smiled softly. "I'm Tanya. You can call me Miss Tan or Tan Tan, that's what everyone here calls me"The little laid her head in Tanya's lap and breathed slowly. "Miss Tanya are you from Italy? You sound like an Italian".Tanya smiled and felt that the little girl know alot more than her age. But she didn't reply her question instead, she patted her back as a sign to tell her that everything is fine.After waiting there for what seems like ages for the girl to calm down, Tanya banged on the window which lead outside. She didn't bother banging the door because no one will hear because of the loud music. As if the heavens listened to her plea, she heard someone approaching the window. Her heart leapt with joy. She increased her banging on the door and luckily, the small window was opened from outside.Outside, was very dark and hazy save for neon party light. A man strained his neck to see. The man asked in Chinese, "Did you need help?" "Yes please" she answered desperatel
Tanya's body was sore when she opened her eyes. It was morning already, which means a new day to go to work. She tried jerking up from the bed but the sharp pain that throbbed in her head was unbearable making her relax. She grunted uneasily, before turning her head to the other side of the bed and caught a man sitting by the edge of the window reading a book, his legs were long and casually crossed. He wore slim fitting tailored suit that emphasized his broad shoulders and slender waist. His face was bowed to the book making it uneasy for her to catch a glimpse of his face. He was bathed in the warm morning sun, is cool and calm profile graced his stoic appearance. The man suddenly looked up from the book in his hands and noticed her looking at him. His appearance was cold, his chilling gaze seemed to pierce through her. The way he looked at her made her feel as if a surgery knife was pierced in her skin, scattering her veins sheet by sheet; it made her bone shudder. The man
Celine took the sleeping girl in her arms and left with her brother afterwards. After Tanya refuted the offer for a compensation, Kenneth didn't press the matter anymore instead he left the ward. When they had left, Tanya started the fresh round of tears that was threatning to fall from her face as memories of good old times flowed to her brain. Ryan Griffin's obsession, Mrs Linda's Tantrums and finally Celine's support for her.But of what use is those memories now? Time cannot go back to the past, the future is uncertain and the present is already messy as it is. Bianca and Frank had eloped together since she got released from the prison, no one really bother her for now, all she had is her dying mother who was battling for her life everyday. Her stepfather had died three years ago. She scurried up from her the hospital ward, so she could go back to the bar where she works so she could get off work early and visit her sick mother in the hospital.'This is China Tanya, no longer
Time passed, things continued getting even between Tanya an Kenneth so much that the little Keturah realized that something was indeed going in between her father and Tanya.Despite knowing all that happened at his father's house, Kenneth has been having hard time to find anything to snitch Ryan with. Ryan became more proactive day by day. Bianca has came back to Italy and Frank, now one heard anything about him. Tanya continue playing her roles as Keturah's nanny and Kenneth's secretary and in a little time she got a savings. One day at work, The stakeholders and the designers in charge, Kenneth and his secretary, Tanya, were standing at the electronic dashboard, waiting anxiously. They had just launched new designs, and people were rushing to order, especially the product they spend the most money and resources on.Tanya was smiling widely, Kenneth stood still like a rock, his expressionless face giving nothing away. The orders were increasing rapidly, quickly surpassing 1,000, t
"Think of what happened at our house that day well before I come back from the swimming pool" Kenneth warned as he left the house to the backyard. Tanya had finished taking her and they had lunch already. Still, what Tanya didn't understand is why he keep pressing her about the incident at his father's house. Keturah hasn't returned from her Outing with Celine which gave the two enough time alone. Her eyes twinkled in admiration as she leaned by the window of the kitchen watching Kenneth swim inside the pool. 'Why is he suddenly interested in knowing why his father died? Did he remembered something?' Tanya wondered as she watched him swim. Unable to stop herself anymore she grabbed a shawl and ran outside to join him even though the evening is getting a bit chilly and frosty. Kenneth smiled as soon as he spotted her and stopped his movement by resting at the poolside. His cute dimples broke into a beautiful smile as he asked me, "Why did you have to come in this cold w
Tanya washed her hair twice, then dumped half a bottle of conditioner on the tangled mess, letting it soak in while she scoured her body with a liquid raspberry gel squeezed into a puffy ball of nylon. Even a practical girl deserved a few luxuries, she thought, sighing with pleasure as the hot water rinsed away the makeup that Jillian Kim painstakingly did.After coming back from the event, she didn't see Keturah, Celine has taken her out. She rushed to her room to take her bath and also run off her frustrations.She knew better than to let herself relax under the invigorating spray; as it was, she’d taken too much time already, and regretfully, couldn’t risk a long, leisurely shower. But even a few minutes was better than none, and at least she’d be clean. And she’d also be able to think straight again, something she’d had trouble with since their departure from the event. Kenneth didn't remember her yet he's doing all these for her. The more she thinks of it, the more she finds i
Tanya looked back to the entrance of the hall and saw Kenneth walking towards her with a flower banquet in his hand smiling like prince charming. She rushed through the buzz of the reporters to his side, shock written all over her face."Why are you here?" She asked in bare whisper but Kenneth smiled and held her hand as they walked towards everyone. When they got to where the investors had gathered, Kenneth knelt down and gave her the flowers Nana which got everyone clapping for him. Bianca whispered to Ryan, "Don't you say he lost his memory of her?" "I wondered too, did he regain his memory?" Ryan also asked with confusion. Nevertheless, the crossed their hands and watched the tirade. When she accepted the flower, he leaned over as if he wanted to kiss her and whispered, "Don't you like it that I'm here? Or you want to continue getting bullied?" Tanya panicked, she didn't know if it was panic of excitement or confusion she whispered back, "Your memories, have you remembere
Ryan and Bianca stands aside and watched how everyone diverts attention to her. Ryan nudged her silently, "Just stick to my side, we must end her today, Kenneth is not by her side" "We plan to Kidnap hee after leaving this event, are you telling me that I came here abd won't get Kenneth? He doesn't remember Tanya, we must change his mind to make him think I'm his wife!" Bianca became petrified and worrisome shimmered in her forehead. Ryan heaved a long sigh of anger and frustration, "Must you always prove that you're stupid? How an we do that without kidnapping her? You should be ashamed that you slept with me and also want my brother!" Without warning, Bianca kept shut.From where she was standing, Tanya's phone rang, she picked it up gingerly and answered, "Yes?""How is the place? Have you made your speech?" Tanya, even though a smile was plastered to her face, she rolled her eyes and shot back, "Will I pick your call if I'm on stage?" "If the reporters ask you any question
After dropping Tanya off at hall after which she left with great efforts, Keturah, Kenneth and Jillian Kim were the only occupants of the large minivan. Before she left, Tanya had felt awkward and nervous about the styling and the dresses she was wearing. Her mind and heart was in great turnout as she tried to figure out what Kenneth was thinking. 'Is he pretending not to remember me?' she wondered. When he was done, Keturah was the first to whisper into her ears "You look beautiful Miss Tan, I'm sure that dad will love it'Tanya pinched her cheeks with affection and smiled. "Your dad will love it for sure" she replied knowingly. Before standing up to look at herself in the mirror and very soon, the car pulled into a stop, Tanya checked the time! She was 10 minutes late for the event. Kenneth entered the back of the minivan through a door that connects it to the driver's seat, Tanya crossed her hand over her chest with a smirk waiting for him to talk. "How is it?" She asked f
Tanya stood in daze like one in maze. Kenneth is getting his memories back? If he could remember all the love advances between them, then then he would gradually remember her one day. Celine moved to her side and whispered, "Don't you feel Brother Kenneth seems to be different today? Or something had affected his brain again?" "I think so. He's gradually retuning to the Kenneth we both know" She said absentmindedly.. Kenneth sat down on the sofa as if waiting for her to gather her thoughts. Tanya moved closer to him and asked again. "I get that you're regaining your memory, but did you have to go this far for an ordinary event?" Kenneth sighed and said aloud so that could the make up could hear, "If you're not satisfied with Jillian, shall I call another person?" Jillian Kim didn't say anything, he only stood there looking at the rhapsody with two adults. Being called when he should be travelling by someone that offered to pay double his salary, Jillian had to stay and list
The next morning started on a very boring note. In the corner of the dinning room, Celine watched Tanya and Keturah who were in the living room with a smile on her face. Tanya sat on the sofa while Keturah sat on the small stool and Tanya keeps packing and repacking her long hair while she was busy on her books and a headphone on her ear. Keturah was so much engrossed in her books that an onlooker would thought she was cared about the person packing her hair but Celine could notice that she stole pictures of Tanya time to time. Celine was surprised as well as the most of the servants when she arrived and realized that she had gotten closer to Kenneth and she will be living with them for a long while. After all the conversations with Kenneth the previous night, she thought she wouldn't slept well especially when she will be sleeping beside the little girl but she had woke up naturally without even a dream to break the peace. When Keturah woke up, Cecilia had greeted her
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
