Anyways, he needed to get in to collect his personal belongings, but he was restrained by the security and was almost manhandled. Having no option, Patrick left. He doesn't know why he has this feeling that Adrian is acting without thinking. They've been friends for many years and they're going to part ways, simply because he tried to make him see things right? Meanwhile, Adrian was pacing back and forth in his office. The fury in him had gradually subsided and he waited, glancing at his phone at every interval if Patrick would call him to beg him. It will be a shock to Patrick,he thought. Getting fired suddenly without compensation and without notice, he might want to exercise his civil right, but he ended up waiting the entire day and Patrick didn't call him. Oh, Patrick now acts arrogant towards him, right? First, he came to fight him in his office and now,he can't learn to be humble and beg for his position back? Meanwhile in X-city, Simon Blake has good
As soon as the officer left, a faint smile appeared on Luna's lips. She's intelligent and smart as much as she's beautiful. This woman is a combination of beauty and brains. She decoded her sudden outburst and played along. When she returned to join Ava, the both of them hugged each other “Thank you Luna. I initially didn't understand what your sudden ranting was all about until I saw the officer. Thanks so much” “You're an intelligent woman” Luna said and brought Ava to a corner. “That's the only way I communicate with my loved ones. I hope one day I might have a chance to get out of here. I've been here for so long that I'm almost forgetting what it means to be a free citizen again” Luna said in a pathetic tone. Ava sighed softly “Were you also framed like me?” She was framed, otherwise how can she end up being imprisoned because she tried to save grandfather? Luna Wesley nodded. She was framed and her years of training as a medical doctor was wasted. Her practi
Santiago and Jimmy were on their way to New Jersey. The former president had called them and told them that their sister has been found but she's not with her parents. Her foster father had died, but she's not with her mom, she'd been locked behind the walls and iron bars called prison and under tight surveillance. That made Nancy Blake sob more. Her daughter in prison awaiting trial? She's to be charged with attempted murder or murder as the case may be? Oh her life! How can this be? For generations, the Blake's had never had anything crimina to be reckoned with. How can a daughter of hers become a suspected criminal? Being away from her family doesn't mean she's got another blood running through her veins. She's still Blake. Hence Santiago and Jimmy took off. However it will be done, they must do it. She cannot be tried and convicted. That's never going to happen. Adrian arrived at the hospital and saw his grandfather had woken up. But he appeare
Richard kept making calls “I want the ashes of her remains collected. At least something to show that Ava would be given a befitting burial. Please contact Sam Leon and let's know what he is thinking. I have no idea about his daughter's imprisonment…” Richard paused and suddenly turned to glare at his wife “What?” he said and hung up. “Sam Leon is dead?” Richard demanded and Anna shrugged. At this point, it's better she talk less. Nothing is ever going to be the same anymore. When they got to the hospital Adrian was hurriedly walking into the hospital when Richard asked “Did you know that Sam Leon is dead?” Adrian paused and shook his head. “Yes dad” he answered. And they all walked into the hospital. The doctor said only one person should see him at a time but Richard said no, they all needed to talk to his father immediately. When they filed in, grandfather was lying down and his bandaged chest had been treated again. The wound was fast drying up and it seemed
That unasked question soon found it's answer as Patrick Connor arrived with his car and walked straight to the stage where Adrian was seated as the chief mourner. “Fake, everything you're doing here is fake and pure pretence. What do you think by erecting a mourning hall for Ava Leon you could silence the raging of your conscience? Spending so much to showcase the degree of your pretentious life” he bellowed. His eyes puffy and red. His complexion turned reddish for fury as he glared at Adrian. The latter was quiet and said nothing. He tried to be calm but he couldn't, as his uneasiness gave way and he stared at Patrick with moist eyes. That made Patrick Connor to chuckle aloud. Everyone present were surprised. Patrick Connor had been Adrian Lester friend of many years, what happened. Richard walked over to ask Patrick to step aside and let Adrian give his wife the last right and respect he could give to her when Patrick lost his calmness. “I can't believe th
“Did my mom hire you to rescue me or you've heard my story and came to help out?” Ava asked. Santiago and Jimmy exchanged glances again. And this time, Santiago decided to do the talking. He gestured that everyone sit down and Ava did. “Ava, I want to be straight forward here” he said and kept his gaze on her. So identical to their Mom. This Ava is the spitting image of his lady Mother. “We are siblings. The three of us. You, Jimmy and I. We are kids of the same parents. I am the first, Jimmy is the second and you are the third and only daughter of our parents. When Mom gave birth to you, you were swapped….” Santiago Blake narrated the whole story to her, telling her how they got to know about her and how their Mom was worried about her. “Are you saying you are my real family, my biological parents are still alive?” Ava asked. She'd been quiet for a long time after Santiago stopped talking. Taking in every single word he spoke. She knew she was adopte
Richard Lester arrived home. He was fuming with rage. So it really ended this way? Sam Leon died at the Lester mansion and at Adrian's presence? When did he become so irresponsible that he couldn't raise his own son properly. What happened to him? Is it wealth that controls him or his love for Lola? How can he be so obsessed with another woman while being married? Even if Sam Leon wasn't Ava’s father, shouldn't he respect him as an elder and a former employee of their home? How can he treat that man that way, how can he deny him the privilege of being with his daughter even in death? How can Adrian become so inhumane? How , how? Richard shed tears for Sam Leon. He'd done them a great favour in this life and they couldn't appreciate him for that, rather they made him regret his actions at death. Anna is responsible for Adrian's attitude. She'd always see everything right with whatever he does. What had Sam Leon and his wife done to her, and what has Ava done to
Adrian raised a brow. What is his father saying? Sacrificing their own child, how? He glared at his father and the latter was furiously staring at him in rage. He knows that Sam Leon pleaded with him to remember the past, to reciprocate their kindness and not forget the past favour they've shown to them. But he didn't know what he was talking about that day. His mom also doesn't know. He asked her days later and she claimed not to know anything. “...did you remember when Adrian almost died, when he had acute leukaemia and we needed an urgent bone marrow transplant? We all got tested and none of us was a fit or compatible to donate to him. And Adrian was dying. We were worried that we'd lose our son and you started sobbing. And time was running out on us and we had only a short time left to either get a donor or watch our son die. My parents were worried and I was the most worried one because he's my son. And when it remained less than 48 hours for Adrian to e
