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
Their union was never consummated and they claimed to be married? How did Elsie come about then? Who's responsible for Elsie and who is her father? Looks like this banquet was going to reveal things that were never known, things that Aurora never said to anyone in years, now it was ripe to be known to the ears of every one of them. “We're having a banquet. I think this is not necessary” Simon Blake interrupted them. This is getting beyond what he planned. He was going to use another approach but it appeared Jimmy and Aurora were getting faster than him. “No uncle. I am not interested in having a banquet with your family. I came here purposely to talk to Aurora about my daughter. But I respected you not to be too forward. I think we should talk about the most important thing first” Adrian suggested,his eyes darting to Elsie again. Their eyes locked and her eyes watered. It pains him that Aurora wouldn't listen to him to let Elsie be taken away. He doesn't want anythi
Aurora immediately dropped the gun in fright. She was scared and glared at it on the floor. Jimmy sprang up on his feet and picked the pistol. There's an accidental discharge. Two bullets have been released. “Why did you touch it?” He scowled. Simon Blake glanced at the pistol and with his eyes traced where the bullet landed, it was late because blood was already dripping on the floor. “Adrian!!” Santiago jumped off the sofa and went to his friend. He was holding the sides of his belly painfully and his hand was covered with blood. That was when Aurora glanced up and the sight before her was scary. She shot him, she'd killed Adrian? Charlotte rushed out, because she heard the noise, anyone else in the Blake mansion would hear it and those not far away would definitely hear it too. When Charlotte stepped out, Elsie also followed out and when she saw the blood dripping, Adrian being supported, her little fragile mind could not contain the shock, she went dizzy and
Aurora lost her composure. She got in the car despite being held back by her mother,she cannot imagine that she killed Adrian accidentally. When she got to the hospital, it was just on time that Adrian was being wheeled into the theatre. Being a doctor in that hospital, she went into the theatre unrestrained. Adrian was unconscious and his breath became weaker. She was glad, a trace of pulse was still left in him. It's an emergency case. She saw his shirt was pulled off to expose his upper body. The bullets have pierced his skin and wounded delicate parts in him. Blood was still oozing out from the hole the bullet made on his belly. “He needs to be saved. Nothing should happen to him” Aurora stuttered. She's fidgeting. She's in grave danger if anything happens to Adrian. He was running out of blood. He'd lost so much blood from the mansion until they got to the hospital. If it were some other people, they would have died already. Santiago just stood at
Richard kept his gaze on Luna Wesley for a few seconds. Several possibilities going through his mind. Just what kind of a man was her lawyer? Was he toiling with their emotions? He thought she doesn't want him around her not getting involved with her case and now, he's just getting to know that she thinks that same way about him. And as it is, none of them said the words passed to the other. “Something is wrong somewhere Luna. I didn't say those words to your lawyer. I was ready, doing my best to get enough evidence to get you out. How can I tell him that I was married and as a result become unwilling to help out? I wasn't married at the time. I was actively doing my best until he cut me off completely, saying it was your request that I stay off. Did he even tell you about the investigation I made so far? I got a few reports that would have helped. Did he tell you that?” Richard stuttered. “No. He never told me any of such. In fact when I asked him how far
Nancy shook her head. No, she didn't kill him. Her daughter is not a murderer and this is too hard for her innocent heart to believe. She didn't kill him. “No you didn't, Aurora. You can't even kill a flea” Charlotte consoled her, forcing a hug on her and holding her tightly. “Listen to me, Aurora. You didn't do anything to Adrian. You didn't shoot a pistol at him. What happened was an accidental discharge. It wasn't aimed at him, but it went in his direction. Is that clear?” Jimmy cautioned. “Yes, Jimmy is right. You didn't do anything to Adrian. Stop saying those words, it makes you feel guilty over what you didn't intend. It wasn't a premeditated action, it could have happened to anyone else” Charlotte consoled. Aurora was taken to her room and Charlotte stayed with her. Less than an hour and thirty minutes later, a call came in from Santiago again, this time, his voice was a little more calm. “Adrian has been resuscitated. Tell Aurora not to get overl
She took the baby away and left him in an orphanage, somewhere really far away that his parents would never be able to trace him. She was already pregnant at the time. She couldn't hurt an innocent baby. She was afraid the baby in her belly would be hurt too. Besides, he was Richard's baby after all. When she left him at the orphanage, she never went back to find him again. She shut her mind off him and concentrated on nursing her pregnancy to maturity and she had lived without the thought of that baby all these years. “You want me to believe you? If you could hurt his mother's life so much, you expect me to gulp down your lies?” Richard scowled. “I didn't mean to hurt Luna. I swear, it got out of hand and my mischievous acts went in coaches just to cover up the tracks. But the baby, I didn't hurt him. I was expecting Adrian at the time, I swear on the life of my son, that I didn't hurt your son with Luna” Anna pleaded, clasping her hands together. “Wher
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
