For the next few seconds, Richard couldn't say a word. His words got choked in his throat and he stared at the picture,over and over again.

How could he describe what he felt at the moment? Was it shock, surprise or trembling? He doesn't know how he felt nor could he say a word.

He'd been seeing him for many years and didn't know who he was. How's that possible, why didn't he feel the uneasiness, the unexplainable familiarity with him?

Patrick Connor, Adrian's best friend?

No, this can't be. There might probably be a mix up somewhere. Maybe they didn't get the right address to trace him. He needs to be double sure before accepting this reality that was staring back at him.

He raised his head and glared at his assistant “Are you sure?” He asked. How can it be Patrick? He'd always call him uncle. No, it shouldn't be.

Only DNA can fully convince him to believe this. Patrick is his son? No, he wants a DNA but first, Luna needs to know the extent the

    Grandfather Lester felt he was going to have a cerebral haemorrhage. Richard has an illegitimate son that they don't know about? How's that possible? “Are you saying that Luna was innocent and it's all Anna's plot that brought her down?” Grandfather Lester asked, his hands trembling. Ava was accused innocently and she lost her life. Luna was also accused innocently, and who knows what has happened to her too? “Yes. Anna has confessed to me and with her information, I've tracked my son. But father,my life is in disarray. I don't know how to get my son to accept me and I will have no option than to hand Anna to the police” Richard explained. He has to take justice for Luna. Anna has to pay for what she'd done to Luna. He has to be fair to his son from Luna. But now, Anna is dying from cancer. “This isn't your fault then. I remembered you were warned to stay away from Luna's case as requested by her. I also remember that her lawyer was going to get even with you

    Patrick Connor just woke up that morning and took a bath. He had this dream that he didn't understand where its beginning sprouted from nor where it was ending. He saw himself in a family circle. And like he has a family. But where those families came from or where they met,he doesn't know. Well whatever, he came over to make breakfast. He got to his kitchen and prepared himself scrambled eggs with grilled toasted bread. He got a glass of coffee and set it on the dining table when his doorbell rang. So early, he wasn't expecting anyone at all. He got to the door and was surprised when he saw Ms Luna Wesley standing by the door. They met in X-city, a friend of Aurora. They stood staring at each other, the older woman's eyes welled up with tears and Patrick was stunned the more. “Come in Ms Luna” he invited, looking past her to the surroundings. Why is she looking so worked up and coming to his door so early? He held the door and Luna stepped in. The Un

    Patrick just stared at them as if they were cracking jokes or they were acting comedy. What is the meaning of the statement they just made? How can they be his parents? “I don't understand those lines of words” Patrick stuttered, his face drained of anything that appeared like a smile. He glanced from Luna to Richard and to Luna again. “He'd always carried this idea of his mother as someone with a questionable character, hence her identity was never unveiled to him. In fact his Foster father, Patrick Connor, who named him after himself, once said no one actually knows the identity of his mother. Staring at Luna, he doesn't know what to think. Then Richard, he'd always been an uncle to him. He's Adrian's dad, for heaven's sake. When did his best friend's dad become his father? “It's unfortunate that the three of us are getting to sit together as a family for the first time. It's not your fault at all ,Patrick. If there's anyone to be blamed, that should be me.

    Richard bursted into laughter. Sam Kechi must have thought he was a straw backed man that would shrink after hearing those threats. He was wrong, he had thought him very low in that aspect. He doesn't need him to send threats before he knows what he should do. When he had him arrested, he knew he was involved with his wife. If he wanted to protect Anna, he wouldn't have requested for his arrest. Seeing that Richard chuckled rather than giving him a response, Sam Kechi's lawyer continued “You're Richard Lester. There isn't anyone in New Jersey who doesn't know that name nor the name of your son, Adrian Lester. You can simply withdraw the charges against my client and we go our separate ways after all, the one affected has regained her freedom. There isn't much ado about this…” “Your words stink in my ears. You know I am Richard Lester and you dare to bring Sam Kechi's threats to my hearing? You've got nerves and your heart must be good at daring things and damning

    Clem's excitement was short-lived as he glared at the doctor. Why is there a “But” when He said he was free from harm's way? This is contradictory. “Until he gets better, he has been warned not to take alcohol and he needs to see the doctor often because one of the bullets brushed the sides of his liver. He needs regular checks to ensure he is not in any form of future danger. But for now, we can't say anything” the doctor explained. Old man Lester was quiet, not able to say anything. What's going on with his son? Adrian is in danger, they should have just said it point blank and not to be so careful in the selection of words they use. “Is my grandson in danger, just say it already?” Grandfather asked, his old hands shaking and when Clem saw the trembling hands, he held him into an embrace. “No. He is not in any danger but we can't say these same words in a few months' time if he engages in alcohol and doesn't come for check ups” they explained further.

    Patrick was annoyed. He was displeased with Aurora. She shot Adrian and dared to call him, telling him she did that? No matter what happens, he can never give Adrian up for anything in this life. He loves Adrian despite his cold heartedness and arrogance, they still get along with each other in spite of the little things that make them frown at each other. “No, Patrick. It was an accident. I didn't mean it. It just happened and he was operated upon. Against the doctor's advice he returned to New Jersey and Clem said he is in a serious condition now…” Aurora was still saying when Patrick interrupted her. “I'll talk to you later” he hung up and called Adrian. Contrary to his expectations, his friend answered his phone and he asked “Where are you?” “In the Lester mansion” Adrian replied and Patrick hung up. He got ready and headed towards the Lester mansion. He didn't know that Adrian was in such a delicate condition and he's not by his side. When he arrive

    Aurora was taken aback. Why is she asking her if he is dead? Elsie had suddenly become reserved after the incident that day. She knows it's psychological. It came to her as a shock, seeing someone bleeding that much. “No he's not dead. He's getting better now” Aurora replied, forcing a smile and talking flippantly, an act to make Elsie believe her. “Will you take me to him?” Elsie requested. It looked like he would die that day. She wants to see him and talk to him again. Besides, he bought her a lot of play things and her Mommy has asked that the servants throw them out and they did. “He's not in X-city anymore. But he'll come back soon once he gets perfectly alright. Then you'll see him” Aurora replied. Thank goodness that he'd left the city, otherwise she would have insisted on going to see him. As for coming back, Adrian will definitely come back again. If not for her, he would come for Elsie or Santiago. And they would stumble upon each other. Now that

  • His Unwanted Bride (Married by Mistake)   The Confession

    In the hospital, Patrick Connor was seated with Luna Wesley. They had both come over for a DNA test as requested by Patrick. He had called Luna earlier that day and requested that the only condition in which he can accept her as his mother, is to be certain about the bond they shared. Quickly, Luna agreed to come over for the DNA. That's how they ended up in the hospital. Richard was not brought into the picture. Patrick doesn't want him to be involved with these. He already has his family. They shouldn't come into his life to disrupt their happy home. If he ends up being Luna Wesley's son, they'll have a severe relationship with Richard. It was while they were there that there was breaking news: Anna Lester was making a video from her bedroom. At this time, Adrian just locked himself up in his bedroom. His Mom pleaded with him but he refused. She should hand herself over to the police first. Perhaps her punishment would be minimal. But she needs to do the

    For the next few minutes, Adrian glared at the man he'd known all his life as his father. The man who held his hands to teether him how to walk, so he was told by his mom. Until he grew up and became a man, he'd always been his most cherished asset. He remembered many times, he'd defended him before grandfather and protected him. He remembered how he was sick in college and dad almost sued the school for negligence. He could face the world for him and do anything for him. He had grown up with great love from both of his parents. He had seen them greatly in love with each other and appreciated how happy they were. But everything is gone. He called his mom a mistake. That's not enough,but he referred to him as his greatest mistake and wished he was never born. It is over. What was he still doing there? He is not afraid of being assassinated by him or his eldest son, but it doesn't make any sense staying back and waiting to die. A brave man will die fight

  • His Unwanted Bride (Married by Mistake)   My greatest mistake

    Richard had to do it. He needed to stop Adrian's access to sponsoring more nonsense on social media. Won't there be an end to this scandalous post that keeps popping up? And since he doesn't have access to his financial account to do so, he had to use a court order to achieve it. Now, he would come back to him for a discussion, and they would sort it out. After he heard what Patrick said hours ago, he now fully agreed that the entire Lester family has a problem of temper. When they are furious, they could do the worst but might regret it, but at that moment, they would damn the consequences. He had just been notified about the court summons from the Blakes family when Adrian arrived. A displeased father, coming face to face with a furious son, there's definitely going to be an explosion, and yes, there will be. In Luna's mansion, she turned to Patrick, made him face her and asked “Tell me the truth, this fury of yours, was it about you or you're concerned about Aur

    “Let go of me, you stinking man whore. You're jealous that Patrick and I are together. You couldn't stand it that you're a failure, a loser who couldn't keep a woman. But he's better than you are. He's a perfect gentleman. And I have never been so satisfied and complete with anyone like I am feeling with Patrick. You decided to spread scandal about us. You want to ruin our reputation and you've succeeded. But tell me, what you've gotten out of it, loser? The best thing that has ever happened to me in this lifetime was getting separated from you. When you flirts around and sleep with women randomly, you didn't know I can also find my perfect man in Patrick Connor. Tell me, you're nothing like Patrick. Does it hurt you that I rejected you and enjoy dating and fucking your friend? Patrick fucks me more than I can ever imagine you could do. So, you'd better get to accept that reality” she concluded and hissed aloud before turning around. She feels like

  • His Unwanted Bride (Married by Mistake)   Patrick attacked Adrian

    Luna sighed softly. Adrian is the reference point used to describe and measure the irresponsibility and stupidity of men. But it's not Adrian's fault at all, the apple cannot fall far from its tree. “Let's not talk about him. He is happy and I am happy too. He has his family and now, I have my family now. My Mom is my family” Patrick replied. She shouldn't know that the person she is using to describe irresponsibility is actually the son of the man who got his mother pregnant. Looks like being irresponsible runs in the genetic makeup of the Lester descendants. But thank goodness, he is not a part of them from his conception to that moment and he's not interested in being one. Aurora nodded. Patrick wants her to evade, talking about the man who fathered him. That's alright. She was also not interested in letting Adrian get any connection with his daughter. That night, they all talked, watched movies, and drank before going to bed. Patrick wished that they sho

    Adrian became furious. He was already threading gently, letting his temper be placed on check. He couldn't believe that things would work against him so suddenly. Aurora left him for Patrick. And his best friend couldn't find another woman for himself except his ex wife. He definitely would be happy that she insisted on getting divorced with him. He should have read the handwriting on the wall. But his trust in Patrick wouldn't let him do it. He believes against all odds, that he cannot backstab him to that extent. While nursing that in his heart,his father had completely made him lose his temper. He kicked the door open violently and stepped in, staring at his father furiously. Richard saw Adrian and squinted. Has he been eavesdropping on his conversation? When did he become so petty and disrespectful? He saw his reddened eyes and he said “I'll talk to you later, Aturo” and hung up. He glanced at his son and the latter's fisted palm was hitting the other palm hard.

    When Patrick returned to Aurora,he smiled and told her Adrian had a lot, bottled up within him. He just needs to be calm and everything will fall into place. Aurora doesn't seem to believe him. The looks that Adrian had and his threats earlier meant he had something against Patrick. She planned on heading back to X-city the next morning. Her good friend Luna Wesley isn't aware of her presence in New Jersey. It's only her momma, Clara Leon that does. Listening to her words, Patrick feels he needs to let her know that the Luna Wesley she's talking about is his mother. It would be nice if Aurora knows. “There's something else I want to tell you about,” Patrick stuttered. He was deciding quickly. She could know about his mother but definitely not about his father. “I'm listening” Aurora chimed, eager to hear him out. The way they talk, smile, leaves an impression on anyone who sees them that they're a couple. “When was the last time you spoke with your

    Adrian watched his dad walk away. He doesn't owe him an explanation why he would give such assets, in raw and solid form, to an ex-girlfriend of his simply because she's his son's mother? He is working hard for the family and his dad did such things without letting him know? How can he give the twin mansion to an ex? As massive as the Lester family is, they still haven't finished occupying the whole rooms in it. It's an exact twin, he gave it to Luna and claims he owned him with no explanation? Adrian doesn't know how long he remained on the balcony. All he remembers was that he became very cold before he decided to get back in. Things have to be different now. A week passed and Adrian decided to check on Patrick again. His heart kept going to him. Seeing he was not interested in talking to him on the phone, he decided to visit his new company. Since it was lunch time, Patrick might be in his right mind and have become calm. Then he would coax him for l

  • His Unwanted Bride (Married by Mistake)   The discussion was over

    What nonsense? Who the hell does he think he is, to tell her so. If other women never tell him no, it implies that he'd been involved with a lot of them then. She's not those women. She's Aurora Blake and she's never going to get involved with him. How can he say that? Is he in any way different from Adrian? “I don't mean to hurt you with my words. I dare not make you uncomfortable around me because I love you” Ray Grimard apologised. He gnashed his teeth and made a fist. How dare this woman talk so arrogantly to him? Arrogant women are the sweetest ones to fuck. He would drill them to the extent they would pass out. And he must do the same to this feisty woman. She thinks she's so mighty impenetrable to him. He would remember this day. He would keep it on record and she would beg him when the times come. He will vandalise her cunt and she would need to be hospitalised. He'll tear her skin and leave scars behind. No one dared him and did not end up with a

    Aurora made up her mind not to say a word of the divorce with her family just yet. It will take a while and then she would let them know about it. First thing the next morning, Aurora ensured she sent an acknowledged copy of the signed papers back to Adrian. It is completed, they are officially separated and she's free now. At breakfast, Santiago and Charlotte announced that there's good news they would like to share with the family. Aurora already knows. She smiled and was quiet. When Charlotte didn't come back to her after the test, she went to her doctor and she got to know that a new family member was coming. “That's lovely, we're listening kids” Nancy Blake glanced from Santiago to Charlotte and back again at her son. His smile was broad. It's also contagious and she smiled too. “Charlotte and I are expecting a baby,”Santiago announced. He glanced at Charlotte with a smile and she shyly looked away. “Oh finally.
