Ashton, who was yet to be informed of Rosaline's abduction, was busy trying to figure out ways to make Rosaline terminate her pregnancy. To him, Rosaline was supposed to have his child, not Frederick's. He was the first to confess his feelings to her, not Frederick. He was going to do anything to make her his. Even if it includes hurting Frederick. After all, Frederick had also hurt him. Frederick had taken the entire family wealth for himself, without giving any to him. "Ashton," Bradley called.Ashton, who was dressed up and about to leave the house to go on his quest in terminating Rosaline's pregnancy, paused and looked at him."What is it?" he asked."Come sit. I have something to tell you," Bradley said coolly."I'm about to go out. We can talk later," Ashton said and walked off. But was stopped from leaving the house by the guards who blocked his path."What is the meaning of this?" he barked."Get out of my way this instant," Ashton thundered."They won't unless I tell them t
The two cars pulled up inside the Marks garage. Clement and Frederick, were the first to step out, followed by the guards, who forcefully dragged Martha out."Take her to the dungeon and tie her up," Clement instructed.He and Frederick entered the mansion and went to his study."I can't help but worry about Rose's safety," Clement complained."Words can't explain how worried and annoyed I feel right now. I keep blaming myself for what my gem is going through right now. If only I didn't forget. If only memories of that night didn't leave my mind. Then my baby won't be in this situation, right now," Frederick lamented.Clement sighed."Listen, with all that has been happening, asking you this completely left my memory," Clement said."Asking me what?" Frederick asked."What was the last thing you ate that day?" Clement asked."What day?" Frederick asked, confused."What other day, if not the day you lost your memory," Clement replied.Frederick stayed silent for a while as he thought o
NEXT MORNING Frederick and Clement were ready with the documents. Clement dialed Alex's line but couldn't reach him."I think this guy is making use of a burner phone," Clement said."I have thought of that too, I tried to track his location but couldn't," Frederick replied.Clement's phone rang amidst their discussion."It's him," he whispered to Frederick."The documents are ready," Clement said immediately after he answered the call."Great. Hand them over to Frederick. I'll tell him where to meet me. I'm sure you didn't involve the police, because if you did. Your little bitch here will pay the prize," Alex Wright threatened."I'm not a bitch, you nitwit," Rosaline's voice sounded from the phone."Rose," Clement whispered. "Don't get emotional yet, old man. Give the phone over to her dear husband," Alex requested."I do not have a husband. I'm not married," Rosaline's angry voice sounded yet again from the phone."You have talked too much for a day. Mute her," Alex ordered."Lay
"Rosaline!" Frederick screamed when he saw Rosaline fall to the ground. "Are you alright?" Frederick asked once he got to Rosaline. He held her hands and tried to help her rise to her feet. But Rosaline pushed him off and he fell to the ground."Lay your filthy hands on me one more time and I will show you what I'm made of," Rosaline threatened.Frederick sat on the ground, where he had fallen and stared at her in disbelief.Meanwhile, Alex lay on the ground groaning in pain. The gunshot that had echoed was from the shot one of the policemen fired at him. He held his bleeding shoulder and crawled toward his gun which had fallen off his hand when he got shot. Before his hand could reach the gun, it was kicked away from his reach."Cuff him," The leader of the troop ordered.Alex Wright was cuffed along with his men. The police led them out of the dungeon."This is not over yet, Frederick Mills. Do not forget, your entire asset and more is now in my name," Alex Wright threatened."Rest
"She is okay, she is just stressed," the doctor told Frederick "I will also advise you to prevent whatever would stress her, as it is not good for her in her current condition," the doctor added."I will definitely do that. Thank you," Frederick replied.He shook hands with the doctor and the doctor left. Frederick sat beside Rosaline who was fast asleep. Since they arrived at the hospital yesterday, Rosaline has been asleep. It didn't bother him, as he knew it was all because she was stressed. Rosaline stirred and her eyes flickered, Frederick on seeing this, knew that she was about to wake up. He quickly poured some water into a cup and kept it ready for her, as he knew she would be thirsty once she woke up.Rosaline finally opened her eyes, she looked around, only to see that she was in the hospital. She slowly sat up."How are you feeling?" Frederick asked, announcing his presence to her.Rosaline turned in his direction on hearing his voice. When she saw that it was Frederick, s
"Get out of here," Yvonne yelled.Veronica covered her ears."You haven't changed. You still yell like a psychiatric patient. Take my things upstairs if you have nothing to do.""Honey, who are you shouting at?" Bradley asked, as he left the kitchen and approached Yvonne. He nearly tripped when he saw Veronica who stood smiling widely at him. The smile on his face vanished."What are you doing here?" He questioned.Veronica rolled her eyes."Is that how you welcome your late brother's wife into your home?" She asked."I do not have time for your trouble, Veronica. Leave my house right now," Bradley said."Hey, Andrew," Veronica called, ignoring Bradley's statement.The young man that always followed her wherever she went ran into her."You called me, ma.""Take my bag upstairs. Yvonne will show you where to keep them," She told him."Right, Yvy?" She asked, smirking."Don't ever call me that again," Yvonne spat."Will you show him upstairs or I should just go up there and barge into a
"Mum?" Frederick called to make sure she was still there."Release your cousin from jail," Yvonne finally said."I don't get you, mum," Frederick stated, unable to understand why his mum would ask him to let someone who had nearly ruined him go."Let him go, please," Yvonne pleaded. Her voice was low and pleading. Tears were running down her face as she said this. If only she had been more careful if only she didn't make that mistake in the past, she wouldn't be in this situation now, she thought and let her tears flow without restraint."Did you take alcohol?" Frederick asked."I don't understand why you would suddenly call me on the phone and ask that I release someone that nearly killed me. You are asking me to let the person that ruined my marriage go scot-free," Frederick said."You know what mum. Good night. I don't want to have this conversation with you," Frederick said. Before he could press the hang up button, he heard Yvonne sob."Please, son. Just do this for me. I beg of
"He…he tried to hurt my baby," Rosaline stammered. Hot tears streamed down her face. Frederick's face twisted in anger and disgust and he stormed over to Ashton on the ground.Frederick held Ashton's collar and forcefully lifted him from the ground. He raised his hand to punch Ashton, but Ashton was faster, he punched Frederick's face and blood began to gush out of his nose."Arghh!" Rosaline screamed on seeing this. She pressed herself to one side of the bed and held onto her protruding stomach.Hearing Rosaline scream made all hell break loose. Frederick lost control of himself. He forcefully kicked Ashton's stomach and Ashton staggered and fell to the floor. Frederick sat on top of him. And punched him continuously in anger."How dare you.." PUNCH "Touch my wife." PUNCH"You attempted to kill my unborn child." PUNCH "What kind of brother are you?" PUNCH.Every word he said was accompanied by a punch. Ashton tried to fight back but Frederick was stronger. He summoned all the str
