He arrived as early as he could, to share breakfast with his parents. He sighted his mom first and went to her, hugging her. "You know I missed you a lot, right?" Leah declared, glad that Louis had forgotten about their last grievances. She's glad he didn't put it to heart again. "I missed you more,mom," Louis said, kissing her temple. He looked past his mother to the dinning before asking "where is dad?" "He's upstairs,"Leah replied. She cannot tell Louis that his dad was mad with her. He cannot find it in his heart to forgive her for taking the annex company away from Pamela. "Louis" Ellis Hayden called, standing at the top stairs and trying to descend down from it. The smiling joyfulness that he's fond of when he sees his son is no longer there. "Good morning,dad" Louis said, coming over to meet his dad at the penultimate stair and hugged him. "How have you been?" Ellis said, forcing a smile. He missed his son but he missed Pamela and the grand
Louis Hayden pushed the door open and walked in. He heard Romeo's last sentence and his father's excited words. He is no longer comfortable with himself after what his father said that morning. "Who's having a grandchild?" Louis asked, walking closer and standing right in front of Romeo. It's been months since they last saw each other. It has always been video and audio calls. Zoom meeting with emails. But they are getting to see each other again. He placed a hand on Romeo's shoulder. "I am. I am going to be a grandfather again. I'm having another grandson from Pamela. She's a blessing to Hayden's family" Ellis announced. Louis was speechless. Is he really involved with that woman? Was she right when she barged into the office and accused him of cheating? Romeo saw the confused stares coming from Louis. He sighed and walked out, he hoped his return would be the dawn of a new era in his relationship with Pamela. "I'm afraid the secret is out. They knew
It wasn't quite an hour, a doctor came out and Louis went to him "Doctor how is she?"he asked. The doctor glanced at him and said "she would be fine. President Hayden, are you in any way related to her? I mean to ask, who is her husband?" "She's my wife," Louis declared. He was interested in what happened to Miranda, why is the doctor asking him such a question. "You?" The doctor asked and squinted. He was in surgery for the most part of yesterday. He heard about the trending news. Oh, is Louis Hayden right? "Yes, is there a problem?" Louis asked. Did he also know a thing? He is getting more confused than before. Why was he staring at him that way? "No, everything is fine. The mother is out of danger now but the baby, her pulse is weak and she has been transferred to Neonates…" the doctor explained. Soon other doctors stepped out and two nurses wheeled Miranda Alvan out of the theatre. Louis saw her and went to hold her hand, giving it a soft squeeze
Leah Hayden snapped her head up. She can recognise the voice from a distance. Her heart beats faster. She just hopes before everything gets better, she won't develop a severe high blood pressure. "Yes, I'll inform her" The servant said and went in. Leah would have told her to say no if she had known that it's Clarion at the door. She nodded and the servant went to hold the door for Clarion Johnson to walk in. Just then, Louis drove in through Hayden's giant gate. He wants to talk to his mom first. She probably would be able to answer a few of his questions. Then he would merge it with whatever Romeo would tell him. He parked his Porsche and saw a latest Rolls Royce Phantom parked. There's a guest and the person must definitely be from the aristocrats class. "Aunt Clarion" Leah Hayden said, coming over to hug Clarion but the latter raised her hand and stopped her midway. "Leah Hayden, I am not hypocritical. I don't accept a hug of deceit. Hug me f
Leah's eyes went teary afresh. Louis heard everything. He heard Clarion's words. He must be thinking horrible of her now. She is falling out with everyone. Clarion got into her car and the chauffeur drove her off. It's so unbearable to be anywhere close to that woman. So unbearable. "I asked you Mom, if what that woman said was true? Pamela is my woman and I truly got engaged to her. Is it true that you were the one who splitted us apart? You are the brain behind Miranda being by my side? We had Quadruplets and she's presently pregnant with my child? Is it true, Mom?" Louis yelled. Leah shivered and started sobbing aloud. She nodded and next shook her head, completely confused. She didn't expect that Louis would still be like this after several months. She didn't know Miranda Alvan would betray her and go a little farther. She didn't expect this outcome. "So it's true then, there was a splitting. You ruined my happiness? Tell me why you did that? I
Pamela raised her head and glared at her mother. She was surprised. Go to the commissioning project if the Hayden's cooperation, as what? She's not Louis' woman, she's not the president of the annex cooperation, she's not even related to them nor an employee. What the heck will she be going there for? "What are you saying, grandma?" Pamela inquired and Clarion smiled. She chuckled aloud and said "yes, Hun. You will go there as invited.. You will go as Dr Pamela Grayson. You will go as the elegant beauty from Middletown City. You will look up and raise your shoulders. It's time you get off the valley of despondency. You will dress glamorously as the princess that you truly are. Everything that you need, I'll make it available" Clarion declared. "No grandma. I don't want to go. Louis might be there. I don't want to cross paths with him and his evil mother. I just want to live my life simple and privately" Pamela rebuffed. Clarion laughed out loud. She glared
Does Pamela know that she loves him? And she approved of it? Pamela, she thinks of others happiness before hers? In the heat of the challenges she was feeling currently, she still thinks about him? She wants him to be with someone and she could only trust Alice for now. There are several women, but there are only a few of Pamela. Will Alice be one of such? "Looks like you are not interested in me. Your quietness made me regret coming over to express my feelings. Let's pretend that I didn't come here nor say anything to you" Alice declared and turned around to go. Lucas just held her wrist and turned her to face him. He raised her chin and glared into her eyes, looking intently into them as if he was searching for love in it. Alice subconsciously placed her hands around his waist and drew closer to him. Lucas bent over and captured her lips in a sweet kiss. Alice held him tightly and opened up to the kiss. Lucas cupped her face and kissed her passionately. Ali
Alyana placed the box before Pamela. "Everything that grand nanny wants you to know is in there" She said and stepped backwards. "You mean, you travelled all the way from Middletown City with my grandma just to give me this?" Pamela asked, wondering how much inconvenience she had put herself through to come over. "Yes, princess. I promised grandnanny to personally deliver it to you. Please accept it so that I can return to the palace" Alyana declared. Pamela nodded and glared at the box. She said "Thank you I will book a flight to take you back to Middletown City tomorrow" "Thank you, my lady. And I wish for the safe delivery of the new prince" Alyana declared and bowed slightly before the princess. Pamela's eyes went teary. How she wishes Alyana can remain and be her grandma's personal maid. But she insisted that the King might be displeased with her. She nodded and told Alyana she could go to bed. Next morning, she should get ready for the first flight.
