“My baby!…” Nancy Blake blurted. Her eyes were moist and the tears were threatening to trickle down her cheeks. She was confused. What happened? Babies swapped? Simon now also was on his feet and he went to hold his wife. Everyone knows what happened on that day to the last child of Simon and Nancy Blake. Their baby was still born and Nancy had refuted it over the years that she felt as if her daughter was still alive when she birthed her. But Simon has gotten the dead baby and gone to bury her. He tried to convince Nancy that she was indeed dead and had been buried. But hearing the breaking news, Nancy felt like she would fly over the ceiling and get to the hospital. “Simon, could my daughter have been swapped? I heard her cry when she was born and later I was told it's a stillbirth. Maybe that dead baby was not mine after all…” Nancy blurted. “It's alright, Nancy. We'll get to the bottom of this. But I need you to stay calm. I'll make my findings at o
Adrian Lester stood in his night robe and stared at Alice with an icy gaze. Why was she looking around like someone who was about doing something sinful? “Ms. Alice, you should know your place in this mansion and stick to your duties. I don't like people who are supposed to be elders and yet, have no brain in their skull” Adrian bellowed. He has thought her grey hair meant that she's wise and reasonable. What the hell is she doing with these good for nothing poor scumbags? “This is Mr Leon and his wife, Ava's parents…” Alice was trying to explain when he interrupted her. “Like I care who the fuck they are? They can be whoever's parents, what do I care? Get out of my sight and don't let me disrespect you in any way further“ Sam Leon and his wife exchanged glances. He had watched this boy grow before him and he had always been reserved and doesn't interact with anyone. But he didn't expect that he would now become so ruthless and disrespectful. Isn't
“I have no past with your family and you haven't done us a single favour. What do you have to offer my family? We are wealthy and out of our generosity we hired you as our gardener. So what past are you talking about? Ava Leon will die in that jail for what she'd done to father. She'll suffer a worse fate than death and I will not let this go, at all. She can't kill a flea nor can he step on an Ant but she attempted to murder my father” Anna Lester declared, spat on the floor and went away. Sam felt he was running out of breath. He was now very weak. His heart pained him, not because of the news that Ava is in jail but because Anna said they have done them no favours. How can she say that, how can she betray him and Clara? How can she forget that they have no biological child today and it's all because of the help they rendered them. How can she say to him that Ava would die in jail. The only child he now has by adoption, was going to die too in the hands of
Simon blinked his eyes a few times, trying to hold back. She was swapped at birth. Nancy said it, she said her baby was born alive and she heard her cry. She insisted that he should investigate it but he shoved it aside. He felt she's getting worked up unnecessarily because she cannot accept the reality that her months of expectations would end up with nothing. But he should have listened to her. He should have investigated it back then and who knows, they might have known that fact many years ago and forgotten about the emotions that now clouded their hearts. For twenty years, Nancy had secretly mourned the death of a child that did not die. How can their daughter accept them as her parents? How can she suddenly be found and be told that the parents she'd known all these years are not her real parents? Who knows the kind of life she now lives? All these thoughts crossed Simon Blake's heart within seconds that he pulled his wife into a hug to console her. T
She was sweating profusely and shivering. Tears trickled down her cheeks uncomfortably. She didn't know how loud her scream had been and that the inmate with her had been woken up. “Hi little girl. Is your guts on fire?” She yelled at her, her gaze filled with annoyance. How dare this girl interrupt her sleep? She's the President of that cell. “No..no…please..my Papa..” Ava couldn't say more than that. She ran towards the entrance,but it was shut. Oh goodness, she was shivering. Something has happened to her Papa. “Hey, relax. You can't see your Papa. And don't disturb my sleep otherwise I will crush you at once” she threatened and hissed aloud. These baby girls raised with silver spoons are like that. A minute away from their parents, they start crying like a moron. Nonsense. Ava didn't care about the threatening, she kept crying aloud “Oh Papa, don't die, Wait for me to get back…Papa” she was sobbing profusely. She stood by the entrance, hitting t
Adrian Lester was furious. He got off his swivel chair and approached Patrick. He glared at him with a killing intent and the latter stared back at him in hostility. Why hadn't he known all these years that Adrian has this side of personality? For years, they've been friends and he didn't know he is so mean and senseless? “Your audacity, Patrick! How dare you walk into my office to lay curses on me, how dare you?” He thundered and pulled him by his collars. He said his tears would flow? He dared to say that to him, someone he had helped a few times in the past? A lowlife that he paid his tuition fee for once from his pocket money? Someone he employed in his branch company and gave good incentives? He cannot see anything right in all that he does that he dares to come into his office to curse him? Patrick Connor wouldn't let Adrian bully him as he pulled him by the collar as well and the two glared at each other in fury. Adrian gnashed his teeth. “There w
Ava's heart clenched in pain. Oh her Papa is dead. Did Adrian do it, did he frustrate them until Papa's weak heart couldn't take it, did he do it? She hates him now. Everything he'd done to her, she can let it go. She can close her eyes and assume none of it existed except in her imagination. He wrongly accused her and jailed her, she can let that go also. He fucked her and planted his seed in her belly, she can put that behind her. He called her parents many unpleasant names, qualifying them with disgusting adjectives, she can forget about it. But hurting her parents until Papa's weak heart packed up, that's an unpardonable offence. “Who's Adrian and which Lester family is he from, why would anyone want to hurt you by killing your father?” Luna asked. “Adrian,son of Richard and Anna Lester, the CEO of the Lester conglomerate is my husband” Ava announced and turned to glance at Luna with her reddened eyes and sore nose. Luna's eyes displaye
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
Nancy just held Charlotte's hands and nodded. She couldn't find her voice. What can she say, her daughter is there for her. She's a fulfilled woman. “I'm sorry everyone for this messy atmosphere. It isn't Magda's fault at all, it was mine. I shouldn't have fallen in love with a she-devil. I shouldn't have allowed my feelings and emotions to blind me, not to have realized what kind of woman I married. It was mine fault, I asked for your forgiveness” Jimmy apologized. He turned to his sobbing mother and sister in-law, who kept wiping the tears off his mother's face “I'm sorry sister in-law. I didn't know that Magda had lost her sanity. Please forgive me for this accusation and humiliation that woman brought to you. Take it out on me however you want but please, don't hate me for this” he pleaded. The atmosphere became a bit less tense. Jimmy glanced at his brother and saw him, with a cold gaze looking away. “Now listen to me everyone so that you can be a wit
Santiago glared at her in displeasure. How can she say no? How can she feel comfortable living in a place where she's been humiliated and insulted? Didn't she know he was doing that for her, that she should remain the dignified wife of Santiago Blake? Magda has turned into a Hyna and only attacks her from every side. “You will leave here. I am doing this for you. Can't you see how disrespected you've become by Magda,the senseless woman Jimmy trapped himself with? I can't let you stay another hour here. I can't take it if anyone tries to hurt you again. So to keep my mental health intact, we're leaving, you and I this…” Santiago was saying and taking Charlotte's wrist to make her leave with him but she pulled her hand off aggressively. “I said no, Santi. I am not leaving to anywhere. Is it too difficult for you to understand?” Charlotte replied, wiping her tears off and staring at her husband. Santiago is the best man on earth. She loves him more than her
Jimmy was startled and stared at his bride. What is going on, she's instigating a misunderstanding between his elder brother and himself. She's talking to Santiago and telling him lies that he'd been having affairs with his wife? Both Charlotte and Nancy exchanged glances. They've never seen such senselessness before. Right before their eyes, she accused her husband and sister in-law of infidelity? Charlotte was lost for words. What the hell is going on? Does she have anything against her that she couldn't think of something else to defame her except to accuse her of cheating on her husband with his brother? They don't know what Santiago said but Magda hung up and glared at Jimmy with irritation and turned to Charlotte staring at her as if she was going to strip her naked with her eyes. “What has this family done to you that you want to ruin our peace and happiness? You have to provide evidence to this accusation before every member of this family” Nancy stuttere
Patrick has never felt belittled by a woman like Jessica just made him feel. He glared at her in fury and she glanced at him flippantly and hissed between gritted teeth. She's right, there's nothing he can do about it. She knows everything about himself and Adrian and the puzzle created by Aurora's presence in the middle. She now threatens him with it? How dare she, how can he not have regards before his employees and she says such words to him? He'll ask Aurora, she'll definitely tell him the truth. If she's the one,he would scold and frown at what she's done. But if she's not, he'll invite Adrian for a discussion and discuss things with him. He'll tell him everything. He would get angry, frown at him but he deserves to know what happened that night. He cannot let this woman become a pain in his ass or turn him into a pawn that she talks down at. Without another word, Patrick nodded and stepped out of her office. He got to his secretary and asked “cance
Seeing that Jessica was playing with her cutleries, Patrick chuckled. Looks like he'd talk too much. That's why he preferred to be quiet than talking because he might go overboard. Jessica swallowed hard. He is jealous that Adrian got him an apartment. He wants to be the one to do it. Hadn't she put a shackle on her feet now,by getting involved with the brothers? Having a crush on one and sleeping with the other. Only one knows that she's involved with them both. What if Adrian gets to know that his brother fucked her? Wouldn't they take it out on each other? For the rest of the meal they didn't say anything. When they were through, Patrick paid with his limitless card and they got into the car. Just then, his phone chirped. Seeing his mom was calling, he answered the phone “Hello mom” he greeted, getting his seat belt strapped over his body. “Guess who I met today, a childhood friend of mine. And she's also got a very beautiful daughter. I already a
Jessica settled into her office but she hasn't stopped wondering what crossing boundaries meant or what it is in the Lester conglomerate. She isn't going to take anything for granted. For Adrian's sake, she would behave herself. And the fact that she'd shared moments with Patrick, she'll do her best to ensure nothing gets into her head to make her misbehave. By lunch, Patrick sent her a text that she would accompany him for lunch. There isn't a big deal if he invites an employee to accompany him to lunch after all. It's not like he'd ever invited an employee though,but Jessica is more than just an employee, she's Adrian's friend and his one night lover. Jessica agreed and by noon, Patrick was stepping out of the company with Jessica. This time, he was driving. He asked his chauffeur and bodyguards to take the time off. As he sat behind the wheel, the seat belt strapped around him, the car tinted,the atmosphere chilly, the conducive environment made them have
Nancy already pulled her daughter in-law into an embrace and consoled her. No woman would be comfortable to be reminded of her lost child but Magda just reminded her. “Don't let her words get into you. I know you would give me many grandchildren. You will be fine, Santiago loves you, that should be more exciting…” Nancy consoled her. Simon asked Santiago to take her to their room. That way, Santiago took her away, while Nancy went back to her room, followed closely behind by her husband. “She thinks I can't be a mother again simply because Dominic died?” Charlotte sobbed. Why did Dominic have to die, why didn't he fight,and survive and be with her? If he did,the likes of Magda wouldn't talk to her this way. But then, what happened to Magda? She was such a sweet soul and loving. What happened to her? “She doesn't know what she's saying. What does she know about our marriage nor the decision for us not to have a baby yet? She said those words to hurt you
They saw Magda step out of the car in a beautiful wedding dress and holding a bouquet of rose flowers. She looked beautiful and on her finger was a beautiful diamond wedding band. Jimmy stepped out from the other side of the car and walked over, intertwining his fingers with hers, they walked towards the house. “Santiago, I'm dreaming. This can't be real, right?” Charlotte asked,her eyes still locked with her husband's. They are married at such early hours of the day? Who is the fool that joined a couple without family or witnesses? Or could it be that they got some roadside witnesses? “I wish it's a dream indeed. But this is real, my love” Santiago responded. Without waiting another minute, he got his robe on, wore his slippers and stepped out of the room. Charlotte too, not wanting to be told what really happened, stepped out in her night dress and went after her husband. By the time they descended the stairs, their family had all crowded round the couple.
Simon shrugged. She could go ahead. She might be able to get words out from her since her fiance wouldn't be willing to do so. Seeing that Simon didn't see anything wrong with that, Nancy decided to check on Magda. After all, if she were getting married the next day, it's only normal that they would have a few words of discussion. When she stood by the door to Jimmy's room, she knocked gently. Nancy knocked on the door repeatedly and there was no response. She contemplated on turning back to leave and the door was yanked open. Before her stood Magda, dressed in a transparent dress that barely covered her ass. She glared at Nancy in irritation. This old hag kept knocking the door disturbing her quiet moments alone. What the heck does she want? “I've been at the door for a while. I already concluded that you're asleep” Nancy explained. She would already have turned around and left. But staring at Magda, she doesn't like it that she stares at her in su
