Rodgers went over and brought out a file. He made some notes on a notepad, got it out besides the file and then sat down with his legs crossed. “Not entirely,but close to finding him. When he was taken from you, someone claimed to be your sister and took him away from the government orphanage. And when I looked closely, the person's passport has faded over time but the name is Susanna Wesley, a younger sister of yours…” Rodgers was saying when Luna interrupted him. “No, I have no sister, let a younger one. There's no Susanna Wesley anywhere in my parents bloodline. Where did the imposter took my son to?” Luna asked fidgeting with tears filled eyes. “There's where I paused. Who is Susanna Wesley then?” Rodgers asked and Luna broke down in tears. Who took her son away, who did it? “I invited you over to ask you a few questions Ms Luna. If you don't calm yourself and be strong, we aren't going to go far in this investigation. Now that it is affirmed tha
Aurora was shocked and for the next few seconds, she found herself tongue tied. She stared at Patrick with a poker expression, unable to find words to retort back at him. All her efforts, to see that she made Patrick what he dreamt about, was not appreciated all because of Adrian Lester? Who has jinxed her in her past life that she wouldn't find happiness in this life again once she crosses paths with the Lester family son? “Did you think through your words before sprouting it or you simply blurted it out unknowingly?” Aurora asked, her gaze fixed on Patrick. This fellow stood by her momma when her Papa died. He had a cross with Adrian because of her and without thinking twice, was ready to discard the great prospect and the future of financial stability that stares at him because of that demon surnamed Lester? “Of course I'd thought it through. I am not that kind of person who forgets past favours and friendship because of present opportunity” Patrick declared.
She sighed softly and wanted to shut the door when he placed a foot forward, obstructing her, and blocking the door. “What do you want?” She demanded. She doesn't want issues with anyone. She just wants to live her life peacefully, find her son and live happily ever after,of course that's after she'd get revenge on the one who made her end up in jail. “You” Richard replied and stepped forward. He had to stalk her and know where she lives. He needs to see her and talk to her again. Luna Wesley just turned around and walked away from the door, leaving it open. Richard took another step in, leaving his bodyguard and chauffeur behind. Luna Wesley just sank into the sofa. Many years have passed and they meet again for the second time, staying at such close proximity. She expected that she would feel repulsive by merely sighting him but no, she's not feeling anything like that. “You have five minutes to stay here. And your time starts now” Luna declared, her ar
He helped her sit up and she smiled and said “I'm fine” but she knows deep inside her that she's far from being fine. The pains plunging her body were severe. Richard helped her into the restroom and when she returned,he decided he would call the servants to order. Why wouldn't anyone be available or could it be that Anna didn't use the call button? He wanted to talk to her about Luna Wesley that she was out of prison. She'd regained her freedom but changed his mind concerning it. It's of no use, telling her the woman he used to love is back at the time when she was feeling so sick and vulnerable. Next morning, Richard Summoned the servants and told them to pay a close watch on their madam. He also phoned the hospital and requested for special nurses to be available, taking care of her and taking turns and shifts. “Isn't Adrian aware of his mother's condition?” Old man Lester demanded. What's the use of having a child that would not be there for you at such a crit
Did he hear what Anna said? Can the ears also be hallucinating? Of course not. He heard her words distinctly. He never heard the beginning,but he heard it midway and it's enough for him to conclude what the conversation was all about. At the same time, Anna's sixth senses perceived that someone might be close by, eavesdropping on her conversation and she turned back abruptly to come face to face with her husband. She was momentarily rendered speechless. How much did he hear and now knows? Or perhaps he didn't hear anything, he probably just stepped in. These naughty servants didn't use their common sense to shut the door after them, otherwise she would have known when he opened the door. But staring at Richard, he wore a poker face. She cannot ascertain if he heard or not. Hence she felt weak and gently used her thumb to hit the ‘end call’ and hung up. At that moment, many thoughts crossed Richard's heart. What does Anna know about the whole ordeal that Luna w
Richard waited patiently. Many years have passed. How can he not know that Luna was pregnant? How can he not know? He pulled her hand and placed it on his left chest, exactly where his heart beat and said “swear to me, Luna, if my question doesn't deserve a positive answer, swear to me!” He demanded. Luna pulled her hand off and glared at him. He wants her to feel his heart beating and then swear to him that she has his son at the time he was frolicking around with the mischievous woman he married. “What if I was pregnant? What's your business with that? Who says my son was fathered by you? You are not in any way related to my son. And yes, I had a son” Luna bellowed, her eyes locked with his. Richard's eyes went tender. He gradually softened his gaze and he asked “Why didn't you let me know that you were pregnant? I could have raised my son even if you were locked behind bars…” he demanded, his tone filled with resentment. “Why would I tell you about a son th
His lips touched hers. She still didn't move, he kissed her gently, briefly, intending to end it, but he couldn't. He kissed her more. And slowly, he felt Luna was responding. His hands circled around her and moved away from her back to the back of her head as he kissed her more. She kissed him back, and the real fun started. Luna Wesley knew she was doing what was wrong, but it doesn't matter to her what is wrong and what was right anymore. However life presents things before her, she would take it. Wasn't it wrong when another woman took her man from her? Or was it right that she went through terrible times and years of betrayal and separation from her son? Everything was wrong. She wants to go with what is wrong at that moment. Being with Richard, having his hands around her, touching and kissing her were things she should never get separated from, but it happened. She missed him. It's been a long time. She has his lips again, his body against hers, that charm
Elsie stepped away and bowed her head fiddling with her little fingers. Uncle Adrian is not a stranger, the little girl thought. He's uncle Santiago's friend and he has come to their house. Adrian glanced up and saw Aurora, standing with a beautiful evening dress. She dressed so simple and yet looked pretty and attractive. Being classical sometimes, is not in the dress but in the personality. She changed drastically from the woman she used to be, the daughter in-law of the Lester family that she used to be. Why didn't he see those unique features in her back then. He probably was blind, completely out of sight he guessed. Aurora descended the stairs and said “This is the last time I will be seeing you interacting with strangers. The next time you do it, I'll lock you up during sport time” she threatened,obviously referring to Elsie. Immediately Elsie's eyes welled up with tears and she moved away from Adrian. The latter saw her eyes and was displeased. She sh
Jimmy's action pacified the entire family but not Simon Blake. This girl called him by his full name and that's a humiliation on its own. How can she be so disrespectful? “You talk to father that way, you called him by his full name and rebuffed his final decision on your stupidity? How dare you humiliate my father this way?”Jimmy declared. Without another word, he pulled Magda by her wrist and took her into the bedroom. He shut the door and bolted it from within and forced her against the wall painfully? “You suddenly became senseless because you are pregnant. You're not the first person to be pregnant in this family but your pregnancy has succeeded in turning you into a maniac. He pressed himself against her to the wall and pinned her chin with his fingers, making her completely powerless and unable to resist him. “I didn't force the pregnancy on you, I didn't rape you either. We made love, we were happy doing it,it pleased us both, we got satisfied and the
Adrian stood up quickly, he was going to look for her. He searched around and she'd left indeed. He dialed her cell phone but it was switched off. He sighed softly and decided he would talk to her by morning. He sighted Patrick seeing Amanda off. He waited until the latter drove off and went to meet Patrick. He saw his face glow with excitement and he smirked. “You've got yourself a new girlfriend eventually” Adrian stuttered, sounding sarcastic. He didn't expect that suddenly a woman had bonded with him and it's at grandfather's candle night. “She's a friend. Not a girlfriend in the context of your thoughts” Patrick snapped at him. What's wrong if he's been accompanied by a woman? “Whatever. It only surprises me that she sprouted out of nowhere to be by your side. And you obviously forgot that Jessica was here to keep you company at your grandfather's death…” Adrian was saying when Patrick interrupted him. “Shut it Adrian!” Patrick bellowed, his gaze unfrie
Patrick glanced at Adrian casually and looked away. No one gets really close to his mom and wouldn't fall in love with her. Maybe it's her charisma or it's simply magical. If Adrian of all people could start loving her, it only means that his mom would be on par with angels soon. Because hardly can anyone not love angels. “Luna is an amazing woman. She'd been here often these few days to check up on Father. And last night, she decided to stay up all night by his bedside when she saw his critical condition…” Richard stuttered. The women were busy, instructing the maids and supervising them. Things need to be put in order and a real touch of perfection is all they require. “Aunt Luna, we could just sit and watch. Hasn't the entire decoration been contracted out to a company already?” Aurora urged. The decorations of the mansion have been really given out to a company,now they just needed to await the beautiful work of art that would be done. Jessica kn
She'd stayed up all night by his bedside to administer his medication according to the hourly prescription. She stayed there along with his nurse. But at midnight, father opened his eyes weakly and said “You're the one here Luna?” He'd asked. Initially she'd wondered why he used those words. But then, she soon understood what he meant. “All these years, I'd always thought Anna will be by my bedside when I die,but she'd gone before me and here you are, in her place” Those were the last words of father to her. Luna sniffled and stood by the sidelines, beside her was Richard. They all were broken and for a while none could console the other. But there was something else that father said and Luna couldn't say it out loud. She'll keep it in her heart in order for her not to act selfishly. “The ambulance is waiting outside. Father's remains must be taken to the morgue” Richard informed. He would be taken there while they made preparations for his funeral.
It wasn't only Aurora who appeared to be sobbing,Clara Leon looked away hiding her tears. She pulled her hands off Aurora's grip and fetched a tissue paper. She stretched her hand and offered Aurora one and she took it, cleaning her tears too. Adrian knew both of them were sobbing,not for pains or sorrow,but for being pleased with him. He didn't mind their silent sob, he continued: “When grandfather insisted that I should marry your daughter, I thought he was being old fashioned,not considerate nor did he know the feelings of the heart. I thought I knew better but I was a fool. Grandfather was offering me my life saver and I didn't realize it. He was insisting that I hold onto an asset of an inestimable price,but I was mad at his dictates. That made me swear to never have anything to do with your daughter. I vowed to make her miserable and I swear, I did just that. But I was privileged to be given a second chance. It was late when I realised that I had hurt a
Lena hurried into the office and saw the frosty gaze of her boss, glaring at her furiously. What had she done to make him feel so furious with her? “How did this trash get in here?” He demanded, his index finger pointing to the beautiful flowers that had found itself in the trash can. “Miss Jessica brought it for you and since you're both acquaintances, I let her drop it on your desk…” Lena was explaining when Patrick yelled at her. “Do I look like I am an acquaintance of Jessica? How dare you allow that woman into my office?” His tone was filled with contempt for the one who brought the flowers. Lena couldn't find her voice to answer Patrick Connor. She saw them both together the previous day and even went to lunch together. They're not lovers but they really get together. “I'm sorry sir” Lena apologised. She didn't expect that from yesterday to that morning, their closeness had become history. Something has gone wrong and she was wondering too, why woul
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
