Brianna dressed as fast as she could, so that she wouldn't waste Kendrick's time. She was wearing a black designer gown which was reaching her knees. Plus, she wore black heels and also put on the gown’s jacket.

Before Brianna left the bedroom, she wore her blonde hair into a bun.

Soon after, Brianna hurried to the living room, and a loving smile appeared on her face as she watched how the father and son were bonding with each other.

Brianna remained standing at the corner of the stairs.

When Kendrick's eyes eventually met with Brianna, she definitely approached him.

“I'm done dressing, hubby”. Brianna proudly said.

Kendrick simply nodded his head at Brianna, before he rose up from the sofa he was sitting on. He took Harry with him outside, and as he arrived outside, he gave Harry to Brianna, so that he could fully focus on driving.

After seeing the car Kendrick decided to drive, Brianna joined him, and sat in the front passenger seat with Harry in her laps. In no time, Kendrick drove off.

Harrington family’s mansion,

It was a 30 minute ride, and finally, Kendrick arrived at his family mansion. He parked his car close to the rose garden, before he got down.

Brianna also got down from the car with Harry in her arms.

The building in front of them was huge, but it wasn't bigger than Kendrick's own mansion.

Kendrick didn't hesitate and entered the building in front of him. Even Brianna did the same thing by entering the building.

The living room,

Mrs Lucy Harrington was sitting in one of the living room sofas, when she suddenly saw her son; Kendrick, approaching with his family.

With joyfulness, Lucy immediately rose up from the seat. “You guys are here early. You didn't even inform me that you are coming. I would have totally prepared lunch in time”. Lucy admitted.

“Don't stress yourself, mother in law. I'm supposed to be the one preparing the lunch”. Brianna admitted. And to fulfil what she had just said, she handed Harry over to Kendrick before she rushed to the kitchen.

“What a nice lady. I'm so glad that you got married to her and left that jinx Vivianne”. Lucy said with a glad tone.

“Mother, please. I've already told you not to mention Vivianne in my presence again”. Kendrick said, and although he tried to suppress his emotion in Harry's presence, his voice tone was still kinda harsh.

“Fine. She's just a jinx after all”. Lucy scoffed as she admitted. Soon, she added, “Your father is in his study, you can go meet him there, Kendrick. As for your grandmother and cousins, they're together in the garden”.

After hearing what his mother had said to him, Kendrick didn't bother to reply. He just made his way to his father's study.

As soon as Lucy saw that her son had left with her grandson, she slightly shook her head and concluded, “My grandson is so adorable. I'm fortunate that Vivianne didn't give birth to Kendrick's offspring!”. After saying this, Lucy scoffed before she went to the kitchen, in order for her to assist Brianna.

Victor's study,

The study room was a large one. Not only that, it had many books which were neatly arranged on the shelves. Additionally, the room was a little dark in colour, but there were rays of light coming in through the windows.

Victor was sitting on the chair, which was stationed in the front of his wooden desk. He was busy reading a documentary book when Kendrick suddenly invited himself inside his study room.

Victor kept his documentary book aside and furrowed his eyebrows while he said to Kendrick, “Kendrick? You came here earlier than I expected. I wasn't even expecting you to come by now”.

“I know that, but here I am”. Kendrick simply said before he left Harry to stand on his own.

After Harry stood on his own, he excitedly walked to meet Victor, since he recognised Victor as someone close to him and his grandpa.

Kendrick didn't bother to sit down, since he didn't come here to have a long talk with his father. Speaking of which, Kendrick's dark eyes got darker as he said to Victor, “Father, it's time for you to fully retire and leave the company. You're not in your prime anymore, and you tend to make lots of mistakes”.

“You-!”. After hearing what Kendrick had said, Victor instantly rose up and pointed a finger against him.

Victor's loud voice was enough to scare away Harry, who ran back to Kendrick's side.

“I came all the way here to tell you this, Father. You should retire and at least, spend quality time with your wife”. Kendrick announced. Soon he carried Harry, and after turning his back against Victor, he concluded with a dangerous voice, “Actually, I have good news for you, Father. Even before I came here, I had already dismissed your position as the company's acting chairman”. After saying this, Kendrick left with Harry, without even bothering to look at Victor's angry face.

Victor was so angry that it caused him to trash the books on his desk.

He was panting really fast and soon, he ruffled his hair with his hands, and in a rough manner.

“How dare that brat do this to me?! I'm his Father for crying out loud!!!”. Victor gritted his teeth as he yelled out in frustration.

Because of how loud Victor's voice was, Lucy heard him from where she was.

‘That’s definitely honey's voice!’. Lucy thought to herself before she quickly stopped what she was doing and faced Brianna. “Brianna, my hard-working daughter-in-law. Take care of the kitchen, alright? I have to check on my husband”. Lucy said and was about to leave the kitchen. But upon hearing Brianna's voice, she halted.

“Is anything wrong with my father-in-law, mom?”. Brianna worriedly asked, since she also heard Victor's loud voice.

“What a caring daughter-in-law you are, Brianna! But don't worry, my husband is definitely alright. Maybe he was just overreacting”. Lucy admitted and later on, she left the kitchen in a hurry and went straight to Victor's study room.

Upon arriving inside her husband's study room, Lucy saw how the whole place was scattered.

Lucy was so surprised because she didn't understand what made Victor so angry.

Lucy made her way to where Victor was standing and said to him, “What's wrong, honey?”.

Victor didn't even bother to reply to his wife's question, because he was preoccupied with different thoughts.

“How dare that brat do this to me?! How dare he bite the hands that fed him!”. Victor roared in anger as he continued to trash his study room.

Lucy couldn't stand still and watch all this madness anymore, so she ran to Victor and held him. Her actions indeed, caused Victor to stop trashing his study room.

“Honey, tell me…. What happened? Did you and our son quarrel?”. Lucy asked with a composed voice, since she didn't want Victor to be irritated with her.

“Kendrick, that brat! He dared to fire me from my own father's company!”. Victor gritted his teeth as he explained to Lucy. Just thinking about what Kendrick had done to him, made Victor's blood boil with anger.

“O-ur son did what?”. Lucy said in disbelief.

“Yes. Kendrick came all the way here, to inform me about how he had fired me from my own father's company. Obviously, he had that audacity, because he possessed most of the company's shares!”. Victor stated the true fact.

“Unbelievable. Wait, I will go and talk to our son, honey. Just calm down”. Lucy said to Victor before she left his study room in a hurry.

Immediately Lucy came out from Victor's study room, she began searching for Kendrick's whereabouts. To be fair, she searched every nook and cranny of the mansion, but Kendrick was nowhere to be found.

‘Where could Kendrick be? And is Harry with him?’. Lucy wondered before a certain thought displayed in her head, ‘I should check if Kendrick's car is still parked in the mansion’.

Lucy didn't waste time and rushed outside. And to her surprise, her hunch was correct. Kendrick's car had already left the family mansion.

“Kendrick! How could he leave without his wife, Brianna!?”. Lucy frowned her face because she was extremely disappointed at Kendrick. “I'll talk some sense into his head when I see him again!”. Lucy announced, before she angrily returned inside the mansion.

......

Kendrick was driving his car on the roadway. He was sitting in the driver's seat, while he carried little Harry on his laps.

“Son, we are going to my company right now”. Kendrick declared.

“Yay! Dada and I are going to work together at the company”. Harry exclaimed, causing his dark eyes to sparkle on their own.

The twins’ mansion,

Barrett drove his car inside the mansion, through the large opened gates. After he had parked his car, everyone got down.

“Wow! Big brothers, you guys bought a new mansion and didn't even bother to tell me about it?!”. Vivianne exclaimed before her matured brown eyes began to sparkle.

“Barrett and I wanted this to be a surprise for you”. Garrett explained the situation to Vivianne with a smile, before he leaned close to her and added, “Well, do you like the mansion?”.

“Like? I love it! It's so spacious and totally my style”. Vivianne admitted and giggled afterwards.

“I see you two are already having fun, Garrett, Vivianne. Anyway, let's enter inside. Vivianne must be tired and hungry after experiencing a long flight”. Barrett said.

“Sure”. Garrett and Vivianne agreed with each other, before they followed Barrett inside the mansion.

    Vivianne entered the mansion with her big brothers. Upon arriving in the living room, she was amazed because of how the place was beautifully decorated. The size of the living room was grand. Not only that, five sofas, including a swing sofa, were arranged accordingly in the living room. Vivianne was so excited because of the living room, that she ended up planning to take a tour of the mansion later on. Barrett, who was ahead, coincidentally turned behind and saw the way Vivianne's pair of brown eyes were sparkling with delight. He stopped walking and even confronted Vivianne, before he said to her, “You're already loving the mansion?”. “Uh-huh. And after lunch, I'll definitely take a tour of the mansion”. Vivianne admitted without a slight hesitation. “Alright, little sis. Enjoy your day today. Because after tomorrow, you might actually become really busy with work”. Barrett announced, surprising Vivianne because she didn't quite understand his point. Garrett saw the

    “Kelly! Come and join your family for lunch!”. Kelly was in the kitchen eating when she heard Vivianne's loud voice calling her. She kept her plate of food on the counter and left the kitchen for the dining room. “Kel-!”. Vivianne was in the process of calling Kelly's name again, but she halted, when Kelly suddenly showed up in the dining room. “Oh, you're here already, Kelly. Have a seat beside me”. Vivianne said to Kelly with a smile. Kelly was stunned because she didn't understand what was going on. In fact, she hesitated to sit down, but since Vivianne urged her to, she later sat down next to Vivianne. Even after sitting down, Kelly's heart was strangely beating so fast. And because of how nervous she was, she wasn't able to look at Vivianne's face, or even the twins' faces. Vivianne clearly noticed the way Kelly was feeling nervous. So she held Kelly's hands and patted them. “It’s alright, Kelly. I called you over for lunch. From now on, you're free to join us in th

    Vivianne had already taken her bath and was now in the process of wearing the black gown she chose from her wardrobe. Before Vivianne wore the black gown which was on the bed, she went and stood in front of her wall mirror, and was drying her wet hair with the hair dryer which she was holding in her hand. It took a while, but Vivianne's hair finally dried. And at the same minute, she went and took the black gown from her bed. “How gorgeous and stylish you are”. Vivianne complimented the gown, and was also busy admiring it. Anyway, she later wore the black gown and returned to the wall mirror– to check herself out. Staring at the image which was reflected in the mirror, Vivianne was indeed satisfied, because the black long-gown fitted her perfectly. And even though the gown was black, it was shining bright like the night stars– because of the diamonds it was designed with. Vivianne also styled her hair later on. “It's show time”. Vivianne muttered with satisfaction, as s

    “We last saw each other five years ago? But I don't even know you or them”. Vivianne admitted with her hands wrapped on her chest. After hearing what Vivianne had said, Brianna, Lucy, and Victor almost ended up laughing, because they actually thought that Vivianne was pretending not to know them anymore. After all, they treated her so badly in the past. “Vivianne, everything that happened in the past was just a tough misunderstanding, and we can't change any of that. But you pretending not to know us, is clearly not cool”. “Don't you agree, Vivianne?”. Brianna purposely added. “What are you even babbling about, young lady?”. Vivianne frowned her face at Brianna as she questioned her. Honestly, everything Brianna was saying was not making any sense to her. “Enough pretending, Vivianne. Don't attack Brianna because of your jealousy. I know that you still have a grudge against Brianna because my son divorced you and married her five years ago. But you should know that your marria

    After listening to Garrett's question, Vivianne tried her best to remember Kendrick, but no matter how much she tried and struggled, she just couldn't remember him. “My memories concerning Kendrick are just blank, big brother Garrett. I can't remember anything about him”. Vivianne admitted. “It's alright, little sis. It's even best if you don't remember him at all”. Garrett assured her. “The Harrington family mistreated you badly in the past. Do you want me to return the favour to them, Vivianne?”. Barrett clenched his fists when he said to Vivianne. “Leave them be, brother. As long as the Harrington family behaves themselves and does not scheme against me, I won't involve myself with them”. Vivianne concluded, and in the same minute, she left the banquet hall with her brothers. The next day, It was already 8am in the morning, and of course, Vivianne was awake and had dressed herself up. She wore a white gown which had a golden belt attached to the waist. Seeing that there wa

    ‘What's his problem?! What the heck is this guy's problem?!’. Vivianne shouted in her mind and had already started the engine of her car, since she was planning to drive away as soon as she could. Vivianne's hands were already on the steering wheel, but she couldn't drive the car because Kendrick was standing in the way. “Vivianne!”. After hearing the way Kendrick called her name with his deep voice, Vivianne shivered in fear. In fact, her hands started shivering and were too weak to drive the car. “I- I have to call my big brothers to come and save me from this dangerous man”. Vivianne said to herself, as she then took her cell phone from where she kept it. Immediately after Vivianne took her cell phone, it fell out of her hand, and when she picked it up, it had turned off. Vivianne tried to switch on her cell phone, but it wasn't working, no matter how she tried. “Gosh!”. She gritted her teeth in annoyance and tossed the cell phone on the back seat. “Who the heck i

    Vivianne's bedroom, Vivianne had been lying on her bed for a while now, and was also thinking about what Kelly had said to her. “What does Kelly's words mean?”. Vivianne muttered as she rose from her bed and continued to think. It didn't reach a minute, and Vivianne ruffled her hair because she didn't understand either Kelly or her words. “Ha. Kelly has a twisted personality. I really want to tell Barrett and Garrett about her, but I should just leave it be at the moment”. Vivianne admitted before she went ahead and took her cell phone from the bed. Vivianne checked the time on the phone and saw that it was already 9pm. “Why haven't Barrett and Garrett returned home?”. She wrapped her hands on her chest and questioned herself. After that, she tossed her cell phone on the sofa. Vivianne wanted to wait for her twin brothers’ arrival, but she was feeling too sleepy to do so. In the end, she laid on her bed and slept off. Kendrick's mansion, Kendrick was alone in his bed

At least not yet, until the right time”. After concluding, Brianna returned to Harry's bedroom, as she intended to continue sleeping. ..... The moment Vivianne opened her eyes, it was already morning. Using the back of her hand, Vivianne rubbed her eyes, as she then rose from the bed and stood on her two feet. “I must have fallen asleep last night when I was waiting for Barrett and Garrett's arrival. I better go check if they're back already”. Vivianne adjusted her pyjamas after saying this. In no time, she came out of her bedroom and went to Barrett and Garrett's bedrooms’ corridor. Actually, Barrett and Garrett's bedrooms were almost close to each other. Now that Vivianne had arrived in Barrett and Garrett's bedrooms' corridor, she was about to knock on their doors, but before she could, both doors su

One of the nurses saw the two new faces who were about to enter Vivianne's ward. She wanted to stop them and ask questions, but later decided not to because she trusted Barrett and Garrett, who were with them. As they finally entered Vivianne's ward, Pearl’s eyes coincidentally darted to the bed. There, she saw her daughter, Vivianne, who was asleep at the moment. “Anne. My precious Anne”. Pearl muttered as she approached the bedside. She carefully sat on the bed as she didn't want to wake Vivianne, who was sound asleep. Pearl's eyes were filled with love and tears as she watched her daughter. The last time she saw Vivianne, Vivianne was a little girl. But now, things have changed. Vivianne was now a fully grown-up lady. And despite these great changes, she easily recognised her as her daughter. Vivianne's face was not pale, causing Pearl to feel at

A smile was on his face as he stared at Raquel. “Raquel, I have told you, Aurora and your mother countless times, it's not that late. I can return to my hotel room”. “Don’t argue with me, Theodore. I'm older than you, and I know better. Stay here tonight, and tomorrow, you and I can go to your father's company and prevent those greedy shareholders from taking over the company”. Raquel scolded him. “We're the same age”. Raquel turned to Theodore upon hearing what he said to her. She said, “I'm a month older than you. So, logically speaking, it counts. I'm older”. Theodore quietly nodded at Raquel because he didn't want him and her to start arguing with each other. “Good. Now, goodnight and sleep tight”. Raquel patted Theodore's shoulder and said this to him, before she turned to the exit door and began to leave the room. “Wait, Raq

    Barrett and Garrett had to look at each other because of the dangerous aura their mother was emitting. Without any doubt, they came to the conclusion that Vivianne and their mother had similar characteristics. “Mother, please calm down. Don't get angry too much. Mr Brooks has already been caught and punished. He would spend the rest of his life behind bars until he dies”. Garrett assured her. “But what does that change, Garry? Him spending his remaining life in jail doesn't mean your father and grandparents will ever come back to life”. Pearl said to him, before she stood up. She started pacing back and forth as she ran her fingers through her hair.After she stopped pacing back and forth, she asked, “You said your father's body hasn't been found, right? So I believe he is not dead. He's probably alive somewhere. I am going to find him no matter what! Anyway, where is your sister? Why don't I see her?”. Garrett breathed out in relief upon seeing that Pearl had calmed down. He ans

    “Everyone, let's quickly go inside the mansion”. After they stopped hugging, Barrett said to them. He opened the gate using its remote, before he collected the sports car key from Garrett and went and entered the car. As Barrett drove into the mansion, Garrett, Pearl, including Beatrice, who had decided not to leave, entered the mansion.The gate was locked by Barrett after he had gotten out of the car. “Please, mom, follow me inside the house. Have you eaten dinner?”. Barrett asked her. “No. She has not eaten anything yet. She didn't even eat lunch”. Beatrice replied to Barrett on behalf of Pearl, who had almost replied to Barrett.“Who…?”. Barrett asked. It was now that he and Garrett noticed the unfamiliar face, Beatrice. Beatrice paused when she saw how Barrett and Garrett were staring at her with suspicious eyes. “Oh”. She reacted after she understood why they were staring at her. She introduced herself, “I am Doctor Beatrice. I'm the owner of Beatrice's hospital, which is lo

    It was evening and Barrett and Garrett left the hospital. They were returning home as they wanted to take their baths. Their bodies were itching them, since their last bath was last night. Garrett was the one who was driving the red sports car, because last night, Barrett was the one who drove. …..Pearl and Beatrice had been waiting outside the mansion's gates ever since the moment they arrived, as Pearl was serious about not leaving.‘I’m so tired and hungry. I haven't eaten lunch or dinner. My stomach is currently angry at me’. Beatrice thought to herself while she kept a poker face. She couldn't let Pearl see that she was exhausted. After waiting for 10 more minutes, Beatrice gave up. She stopped squatting on the ground and stood up. She extended her right hand towards Pearl, who was squatting and said to her, “Please, Lady Pearl, let's return to the hotel. You haven't eaten for hours. That's not good for your health. Let's return so that I can examine your health”. “No. I'm

    “Axel?”. Theodore muttered and walked towards him. With doubt in his heart, he asked, “How did you know I was going to come here by this exact time? Is that the reason why you stood here and were waiting for me?”. “Don't be so surprised, cousin”. Axel said. He removed his hands which were in his trousers' pockets before he added, “Aurora called me last night and told me that you had returned to Phoenix City. She also told me that you were going to come to the mansion today. And I know you, cousin. I knew you would come here by this time. That was why I left my condo and arrived at the mansion earlier than you, and ordered the security guard beforehand to let you in when you arrive”. Theodore chuckled, because to him, Axel sounded unbelievable. He had a puzzled look on his face as he curiously asked, “So you did all that for what? Simply to see my face or what? Am I so special?”. “Of course not, cousin. You're not special. I only came here to tell you not to cry”. Theodore furrowed

    Brianna ran to her car and was panting fast. “Mother, please you have to listen to me. Everything that my father has done seriously has nothing to do with me! I truly love my husband so much”. She pleaded and tears were pouring out of her eyes, but that only made Lucy get angrier at her. “Get away from here before I do what I'll regret, Brianna! Just get away from here!”. Lucy warned her. “Mother, please listen to me. Remember that you always used to listen to me. But why not now?”. Brianna felt her voice cracking as she said to Lucy while crying. Her throat was in deep pain because she was mentally and emotionally broken and hurt.“Just go away from here, Brianna. I'm angry. I'm sure you already know what I can do when I get angry”. Lucy said to her. She glared at Brianna, before she turned her back against her and returned to the house, leaving Brianna outside. After Lucy left, Brianna rested her back on the car and used it as her support as she slowly sat on the ground. “It- why

    12pm,“Lady Pearl, I am now aware of the location of the Beckham family’s new mansion”. Beatrice announced, and a drop of tear escaped from Pearl’s eyes. “Are you telling me the truth?”. “I would never lie to you, Lady Pearl”. Beatrice promised her with a smile on her face. Some hours ago,“My family…. I have twin boys. Their names are Barry and Garry. But my father-in-law loves to call them Barrett and Garrett. Also, my last child’s name is Vivianne, and my husband's name is…” After Pearl told Beatrice about everything she remembered concerning the Beckham family, Beatrice immediately started to call several people. Some of those people whom Beatrice called reside in Phoenix City, so she was certain that they must have an idea about where the Beckham family were currently living. Out of all the people Beatrice had asked, only one of them knew about the Beckham family she was talking about.“Are you sure you know about the Beckham family I'm talking about?”. Beatrice asked the

    “Stop pretending to be hurt, Brianna. I know you're just pretending to be hurt, so that you'll gain my sympathy”. Kendrick glared at her and said to her. With the way Brianna was trembling, he thought that she was acting.Brianna opened her mouth and tried to say something. Unfortunately, her voice was nowhere to be found. “I have loved you, Brianna. I married you even after you spiked my drink. But you repaid me with your betrayal. I thought I knew you. I guess I was wrong. I never for once knew the real you”. He said to her.. And after he had turned his back against her, he added, “I hope your father suffers in jail or gets a death sentence. He deserves that for killing Vivianne's family”. Kendrick hissed, before he walked away and was heading upstairs to his room. “Ah”. Brianna whimpered. She was sitting on the floor, before she laid on the floor and continued to whimper. ‘What did I do wrong to deserve this ill-treatment from the one I love?’. She thought to herself as tears co
