Ass soon as she closed the door behind her, she met Kenneth coming out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped about his groin while he blows his hair with the hair dryer. Keturah was sleeping with Celine in her room so no one is there to disturb them. Tanya angry slump on the bed which made Kenneth surprise. He dropped the dryer and sat at the edge of the bed. "What's the matter Mrs Griffin?" He teased as he recollected the scene at the hospital earlier. Tanya rolled her eyes as she laid on her back since her baby bump is now big enough to stop her from laying on her chest. "Kenneth I'm not in support of staying in this house. Let's go back home" she insisted. Kenneth removed the slippers and climbed the bed and curl beside her. "Why are you saying this again? Aren't you there when Dad say...." "Stop this foolishness Kenneth! Dad here dad there. Did you still believe such a lies?" Tanya interrupted obvious angry at her husband's ignorance. Kenneth smiled at her cute anger and mo
Bianca walked up to them, Frank released Tanya and adjusted himself. Instead of replying, Tanya hissed and turned to leave but Bianca hel her back. "Where did you think you're going without answering my question?" Tanya rolled her eyes as if she just heard some jargon. "As you can see I rolled my eyes that's because I just heard jargon" Bianca gritted her teeth and dragged her hand, "Tanya Lewiston stop pulling my legs and stop trying to provoke me!! I was being this slow to you because of my husband you...." "Stop it! Your husband? When did you marry Ryan? Who and who were there when you exchanged the vows? This is our father-in-law did he agree to your relationship?" Frank gulped hard under the mask. Be looked at the two women he once loved arguing about another men he felt sad and cussed his luck. He cursed himself for leaving Tanya for the lowly Bianca and hated himself for not flying out of the country immediately after Bianca got pregnant. Now Bianca os preganant for him a
This word was like a bombshell to the people that sitting around the dinning and of course all except Mrs Linda who smiled in approval. "When is the party so I can tell the Ryan in my class that my Uncle Ryan was getting married" Keturah's little voice interrupted the momentarily silence that pervaded the air. Tanya looked at her daughter with surprise, "Don't talk while eating Princess. Elders are talking here you should keep shut" The little girl shut her mouth immediately but Mrs Linda reached for her and patted her head, "It's this Saturday baby girl, bring anyone you want let them know you're the princess of the mighty Griffin family" Keturah scoffed without replying. Bianca was the first to after this. "But Ryan and I are cool without any engagement?" Everyone shook their head as if they approved of what she just said. Bur Charles Griffin was obstinate, "You should be happy about this and not to go against my decisions!" He said egomanially. Tanya almost scatter thier pr
Bianca's reply was defiant, "He confessed to me first. We both wanted this baby and we have decided to stop chasing what is not ours"Tanya smiled. She find it hard to believe what Bianca was saying but she beaconed Bianca to continue talking. "Sarah is Mrs Linda's cousin. The woman didn't know that Ryan has caught her so we have both decided to sabotage the engagement. Ryan hates his own mother so we... we want you and Kenneth to join hands with us"After Bianca was done, Tanya shot her a glance, she wondered what Bianca was doing. This is unlike her to be so obedient and wanted to do something for anyone she now understood what love could do. "But Ryan has already told me that we're going to reveal the truth together, so what is there t talk about and why is the afraid or shying about?" Tanya was amused. Bianca fidgeted with her fingers for awhile before replying, "Ryan wanted to work at Griffin Holdings, the company where he works will fire him soon saying he's a Griffin whose
“Aunt, Bianca is not from my mum and even if mum is alive, She won't be able to give her gift because she's not her real mother and Bianca won't take it" Tanya said and exited without waiting for reply. The women kept quiet for a while a s Mrs Linda's fist were clenched at Tanya's intrusion but one of the women broke the silence as she asked Sarah who was trying to avoid the conversation. "What are you planning on gifting the bride-to-be miss Sarah? I heard you're very close to Kenneth Griffin?"Sarah smiled and tucked her hair behind her ear. "Kenneth and I are not really that close we just dated for sometime in college, well I have brought an Elizabethan Jade wrist watch so I'll give her"“Oh, from which century?”“From the late 18th century.”Mrs Linda snorted, "You can't get me such thing on my birthday. Is that how much you wanted to show off?" Sarah pretended as if she didn't heard what she said, and quickly left the women's circle. She's yet to fathom what Mrs Linda was pla
Celine opened it and a group of people came in. One man and two women.Celine gasped as she saw the man who came in. It was Jillian Kim, the man who came to style Tanya on the company's anniversary. Celine who was present that day was shocked that such expensive make-up artist was called again. Bianca gasped with shock, she only heard of Jillian Kim who was a celebrity make-up artist and haven't met him before. Seeing him here only make her more aghast with shock. "Hello Miss Celine, is this the bride?" Jillian Kim who was now Inside fully with his two helpers which he doesn't bring on the day he came for Tanya asked.Celine was smiling foolishly as she replied, "Yes she's my brother's wife. How have you been Jillian?" But Jillian didn't smile back it was evident that he was a gay. Jillian is a celebrity beautician in the country so it's normal that he's a gay. As long as Bianca could remember, being gay out in the open is considered a disgrace but Jillian Kim became a celebrity
BEFORE FRANK AND KENNETH'S ARRIVAL (10:50am)Meanwhile, Tanya got to the venue before Kenneth. But Kenneth was just after her when he had packed his car and made to enter the place after his wife, he sighted Frank Harper coming out of the cab.Kenneth was surprised at his audacity to come to such event so he walked up to him before he could enter and asked."Why are you so shameless Frank Harper? How can you still be able to come to Bianca's engagement even after all that happened?"Frank's expression was sour. He looked at Kenneth for a long time without a word wishing he could know all that Ryan and Bianca wanted to do but he stopped it."Frank I'm talking to you. Are you that bitter or that rude?" Kenneth was angered by his reaction and silence and he hates it when someone actually looks at him this way.Sighing with his arms crossed on his chest, Frank asked, "Bianca and Tanya are my exes so why shouldn't I be at her engagement?""But still it's still not a honorable thing, what i
"What happened?" She asked the driver who obviously looked shocked."A woman just throw herself before the car as of she wants to kill herself" The driver said with shaky voice.Celine strained her neck and saw the woman lying in the middle of the road, she was surprised so she hoped out of the car since many others had stopped and walked to the woman who shouted on him immediately."Did you want to kill me for real because you're rich? Your driver just hit me!" She yelled drawing all attention to them.Bianca who was inside the car turned her attention at the tirade happening outside. The woman continued aggressively. "With your expensive car, you almost broke my legs, I will not leave here until you fix me""But I didn't hit you? I stopped the car before I could bear you" The driver defended himself but this only put petrol to the already burning fire as the woman replied."Really? Even rich people driver's lie now? What a life. Everyone see what they are doing I'm sure it must be
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
