"Cheers to our victory!" Ryan Griffin said as he made a toast with his mother who was grinning ear to ear as she gulped the drink in her cup. The living room at Ryan's home was Illuminated with neon lights that created a kaleidoscope of colors on the drink filled table. There were several drinks and food on the table which shows that the mother and son are in a real joyous mood. Ryan fell to the chair, Mrs Linda sat opposite him and said, "You can't know how scared I was when you kept quiet and didn't make any ruckus since your father announced his inheritance. I thought My son has been intimidated and didn't care about his own inheritance"Ryan laughed maliciously, "Come on mum, I'm your son! Did you think I'll let Kenneth be happy for that long without making any move? He purposely impregnated Tanya so she could have a share in the property and to make matters worse, he went ahead and said his child's name will be Keturah so that Dad can be more emotional. What a fool that he was

From the crowd seated in the court, she could saw Ryan Griffin and his mother seated at the back with smirks on their faces. She was later sentenced to life imprisonment and saw Ryan and his mother leave. Her father cried the most when the offender's family were given a chance to talk to her before she was conveyed to the prison. "See what you caused for yourself Bianca? This was the same reason your mother died. She was so jealous of others and wasn't contented with her own. Why did you have to choose this wrong path Bianca? I gave
Celine, Mrs Linda and Ryan sat before Charles Griffin in his study while he looked very gloomy and sad. Charles's phone rang at that moment which he picked almost immediately. There was a long period of silence before he said, "Alright thank you"He stopped the phone, Celine asked eagerly, "Dad have you found Sister-in-law's location?" Charles shook his head dejectedly, "No progress. She didn't contact her mother either" Mrs Linda rolled her eyes, "Who would be sane after all that happened? She loosed her husband before she gave birth to her baby, she must be somewhere sulking" "Mum....." Ryan called. Charles Griffin didn't say anything then he cleared his throat. "I have reversed the inheritance since Kenneth is no longer here" Mrs Linda adjusted herself on the chair ans listened with rapt attention.

Tanya entered the grand reception of Immortal Firm as every employee who was waiting for her cheered her on happily and came in turns to present her flowers. Tanya grinned from ear to ear as she was happy that she could came back to Italy in once peice. Immediately she got to the CEO's office where Kenneth do stay before his accident, she cried. Mr Brown came out of nowhere and tossed a file to her. "We are going to The press conference, Madam, you have to pull yourself together and follow me" Tanya cried uncontrollably as she lamented, "This office held alot of memories Mr Brown. I can't forget them that soon. Kenneth is the only one in my life after my mom" Her tears flowed in great current as she remembered the happy moments she spent with her husband in the office. After a while of crying and feeling emotional, Tanya composes herself and read them carefully. Taking a deep sigh, she felt she was ready to face them.Gingerly, she walked majestically towards the conference ro
Tanya sat in the VIP corner of Ice Spice hotel restaurant waiting for her guest. She keeps checking her wrist watch for the time as she waited. While waiting, the image of how she was preparing for wedding 9 months ago flashed before her eyes. When her mother and Frank's family are going up and down preparing while she and Frank are in the room whispering words of love to each other. The image of his betrayal also flashed before her eyes which made Tanya felt heart heart heavy and felt like crying. A lot had really happened after Kenneth csme to her life. It was this moment that she realized that she hasn't seen Frank around for a very long time. She took her phone to dial his contact when someone tapped her from the back playfully. She jerked from her seat in fright, "Oh!"Ryan laughed, "Sister-in-law aren't you used to my surprise appearance now?" Tanya dropped her phone thinking that she would call Frank later in the day. She smiled, "That is far from surprise. It's scary. Be
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 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
