Eric’s POV I hated to ask favor from the man who wanted me and my family dead. Unfortunately he suddenness in killing my parents. It disgusted me to know he is related to me by blood. “I need your help” I said to him. “My help?” “Hey don’t ignore me. Can’t you see we were talking?” “We are done talking you can leave “ he said to his son. “But…” “No buts, you can leave” “Ok” he said and left but he actually leave. He is so cautious of me that something I feel he is a little intimidated by me. “Why do you need my help? I never thought you will come and see me after.. Not now Mr. Ben Hong. I am not here to listen to your story. It went do me any good. Besides the real murderer is under trial,” he cuts him off. Ben smiles. “You nothing like your father, do you know that. You more like your grandfather than any of us,” “That is something I disagree. Anyways he is the reason I came. Chang told me you know something or someone who can break Grandfather” “Hahah
A four years ago… Nairobi… “It has come to light that Ben Hong and Randall Meyers are involved in the deaths of Frank Hong and his wife. “ new anchor read. “What the hell is going on. A brother killing a brother, that is not the family I left behind. What did you do little brother” a woman in her early seventies said while watching the news. She took the remote and threw it at the television damaging it. “Kale!” “Yes boss” a tall black man, well built resounded behind her. “Find out what is happening in Singapore. Contact me if you find anything. Two years ago.. Thailand.. Kale visits the woman in a five star hotel. She sat in her corridor and awaits his arrival. “Took you longer than I expected” “Sorry Miss Greta. Here is the information you want” “If it here” she grabs the envelop and scanned through the documents and pictures in it. “Wow, all this drama behind me. She spots Phoebe’s Picture. She oddly looks familiar, don’t you think so Kale” K
Phoebe’s POV “Hello, little brother, do you miss me?” she smiles. Little brother? Mr. Hong is not the eldest? I can’t believe it. She is pretty and rich; it makes sense if she is related to the Hongs. I pause and stare at the two people who are arguing. Instead of being surprised, Eric is smiling like he knows what is going on. I wonder what is happening. I didn’t know Mr. Hong had an older sister. Eric isn’t the only one who seems unfazed. Her presence interrupts everything. Everyone is staring at us now. I thought it was supposed to be a birthday party. My stomach groans. I am still hungry, and yet I can’t even eat anymore. I draw too much attention to myself with the way I am eating. This isn’t like me at all. I don’t understand why I am like this. “What are you doing here?” Mr. Hong asks. “Is that how you welcome your older sister?” she answers. “I ask again: what are you doing here?” “And I say again: is that how you treat your older sister?” He glances at Eric. “Did
Eric’s POV “Congratulations, you are pregnant,” hearing the doctor announce such news, my eyes widen. I can’t believe it. She is really pregnant. I blink, trying to grasp what he just revealed. Forgetting that I am not the only one surprised. “What!!!” “Doctor, you must be mistaken. There is no way my daughter would be pregnant. She hasn’t been with a man before, please do your checks well.” “Huh!” I exclaim, and Grandfather Hong and Aunt Greta exchange glances. They are in shock. The doctor is the most shocked. He glances at Phoebe and then to me. “Mama, calm down. It’s probably a mistake, right, doctor?” She winces at the doctor. Unfortunately, the doctor seems to be an honest man. He still insists on the fact that she is pregnant. Honestly, I have been hoping for such news. The last time we made love, I didn’t use a condom. She passed out, so she hardly remembered what happened after. And that is good news. She would probably have my neck if she finds out I am the cause
Phoebe’s POV Mama has all the reasons to be upset with me. I did tell her I was not having sex with Eric, and now it turns out I am pregnant. She keeps dragging me along. I don’t know where we are heading. She probably doesn’t know either. “Mama, mama, mama!” “What?!” She finally pauses and lets go of my hand to face me. “What? Do you have anything to say now?” “No I don’t, but I need to know where we are going l, we have been walking and it’s getting dark. We are a few steps away from the hospital I think it’s best we..” “No, we are not going back to that place. I know what you are trying to do here and it won’t work on me this time around” “Mama, listen please” “No, I am not going to listen to your lies anymore. I have had enough of you trying to act smart with me. Yes may not be the best mother in the world but, I did want you to end up like me. I am trying here Phoebe. I wish..” her voice breaking. “Mama,” I call, softly. “No don’t say a word. I am not done yet. You tol
Phoebe’s POV As expected of the most famous family in Singapore. Mr. Hong makes our unprepared marriage London to the public. Everywhere is flooded with the news of the number one bachelor’s marriage, ERIC HONG. It’s not easy being his soon to be bride. The hate is as equal as the love. People think king i don’t deserve to be with him. He is too precious for me. Catrina snaps at me interrupting my thoughts. “Girl where is your head. You can’t be distracted when you have a big wedding at hand. More importantly you are the bride” she points out. “Exactly” “Huh!”she exclaims. “What are talking about?” Ella asks. I sigh. “I haven’t you guys seen the hate comments on the news. No everywhere. It’s hard to be the bride when you are the only one who seems to be happy” I explain. They stare blankly at me with a frown. “I didn’t think you care about what others think about you?” “Me too, guess people do change” “That is not it. I feel like it’s being rushed. We are not
A Few Hours Ago… Phoebe’s POV It was high time I faced my fears and made things right. I decided to visit my father. Mama accompanied me, and the moment we entered the police station, I asked her for some alone time with him. She nodded in agreement. I approached the officer at the front desk and politely asked to see my father. He directed me to the waiting area, where I took a seat and waited for him to be called. Soon enough, he appeared. He seemed to be doing well, smiling as he took his seat. “Is there something you need? You haven’t visited for a while now,” he said. “Been busy,” I replied. “Yeah, I can see that. You’re getting married.” “Huh!” I exclaimed, surprised. He chuckled softly. “Don’t be surprised. Your marriage to Eric is everywhere.” “Hmm. I just want you to listen. Will you do that for me?” He nodded. “I’m sorry.” “Huh?” “Don’t be surprised. It was bound to happen anyway,” I giggled. He chuckled again. “I’m sorry for being a bad father, for
Eric’s POV Aunt Greta told a story about my grandfather and his father. She said we were quite similar in many ways. Just like my father, we were both stubborn children. Grandfather fell in love as a kid while traveling with his father. Unfortunately, the girl in question was an ordinary Thai girl. She was beautiful, he said. His father wasn’t interested in creating such a connection. In times of war, a love that was supposed to bring people together instead created a rift between a father and a son. His father led to his first love’s death, and on his dying bed, he asked for forgiveness, but my grandfather refused. Aunt Greta wanted my help to convince my grandfather to visit his father’s grave. So here I am, standing in front of his door, hoping he would open up, since I have been coming for a week now. “Grandfather, you don’t need to act like this. I just want us to talk. This is your last warning.” No response from him. This was my only option. “If you don’t c
Philip's POV Everything feels like a dream. I'm trying hard to be friends with Eric, but it’s difficult, especially since he got married. He’s a changed man. He’s always smiling now. I heard he loves visiting Phoebe’s home country. The point is, he’s happy, and I’m just here in my office, drinking alcohol. We found out who attacked Eric—guess who? Rachael Li. I expected that. She’s unstable and needs help, which is why I sent her to a psychiatric hospital, since I’m technically her husband. But things are clear now. No hard feelings. She claims she has changed, and who am I to judge? I’ve changed too, but not entirely. I still lack the courage to confess and apologize to Diana for being a jerk. Six months should be enough to get my act together. "Ping!" "Who the hell is disturbing my..." I pause when I see who’s calling. "Diana," I mutter. I clear my throat and answer, "Diana." "Can we meet?" "Yeah..." "Someone wants to see you. Can you make it right now? I’m in front of th
