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
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
Adrian read the posts and comments and took them all in. He didn't murder Ava Leon, nor her dad. Ava Leon was still alive but Sam Leon died before him but he didn't murder him. Those who don't know his story that accuse him wrongly would one day cover their face in shame when they will eventually know the truth. But Clem kept deleting the comments until there was none left. Every comment coming was blocked from coming online. Anna had made a confession and had been arrested by the police, that's what mattered. Patrick drove Luna home. He was protecting her. Her name has been mentioned and no one knows how they did it; her picture was now littering on social media. The pictures of the young beautiful Luna and her present pictures. He doesn't want the journalists to recognise her and starts bothering her with questions. “Lay low now, until everything is suppressed” Patrick advised when he got to her home. The bond was already forming. He never imagined t
In X-city, Ray Grimard was back from an assignment and decided to go and find Aurora at work. He'd heard that her daughter's father visited and they've resolved their differences. He can't share his woman with anyone else. As far as X-city is concerned, Aurora can only be his woman. Even Jimmy Blake, her brother, has no other option than to agree that he's the cutest bachelor in X-city. Aurora was on call that day. She took an excuse to go have her lunch when Ray Grimard walked into her lounge. Aurora owned a lounge to herself being the daughter of the Hospital's director. The hospital was bought by Simon Blake and he is the acting director but it was bought in Aurora's name. She has her private lounge, separated from the other doctors. “My love” Ray Grimard chimed, coming over to give Aurora a peck on her chin but she dodged it and said “I can't remember having an appointment with you,Ray” “I've missed you for so long” he declared, ignoring Aurora's que
Patrick just sighed. He went over, held Luna by her wrist and said “I've looked forward to meeting you all these years. I don't know who you are and my foster father doesn't even know the woman who gave birth to me. I am more excited than you are, mother, that I found you. And to know that you have yearned for me all these years just as I also did, makes me more excited. But it shouldn't have been Richard. It shouldn't have been the man from the Lester family that fathered me. I wish it were someone else. I would have thrown a party but how do I cope with having that man as my father?” Luna was lost. If there wasn't Richard, there wouldn't have been Patrick. He's from him, she only carried the seed in her belly and Patrick is that seed. If she wasn't there, Patrick would have been born, if he was destined to be, but by another woman. Perhaps by that schemer, Anna Lester. “I don't want Richard Lester to be part of our lives. He isn't my father, I refuse to acce
Adrian was dazed by Patrick's response. What the heck? Is he expressing it in words how hurt he felt about the whole thing that happened? And yes, he's not qualified to teach him anything. What did he know that he would be teaching him? He doesn't even know how to manage his personal affairs and yet, he would be teaching him? “No, I'm not qualified like you said. But I hope to talk to you again when you are a bit calmer. But I'm glad that we're brothers and I'm sorry that we got to know so late” Adrian declared and shook his head slightly before turning around. There's no use staying there another minute longer. Patrick wouldn't even let them in, he left them standing outside and invariably called them strangers. Patrick is wounded. His heart is bleeding and he could only express it in the best way possible. Once he gets calm, he would be able to listen to him again. “I hope your hurting heart gets better soon. Because this is not the Patrick I used to know
They were by the door of the room they booked, but the vibes the women were giving him were such that he leaned against the door, his eyes closed, his lips on the lips of one of the women while taking in the magical touch of the other. Santiago stood and watched. This is vulgar. Can't they go into the room and do nonsense acts. Other customers were passing by and snorting but it didn't mean anything to them. Santiago shook his head and passed. This is the man who wants to be with his sister? A man whose dick is a plaything for every woman? As he went, he dialled Charlotte's phone and she answered. When he asked her where she was, she replied and said she's at the restaurant, having brunch. He went over to meet her and really saw her eating. He told her to call him as soon as she got to the hotel, instead, she started eating without reaching out to him first. He frowned at her actions. “I'm sorry honey. I had to stay here and take in enough of what I saw. The things I saw tod
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
