Alastair drove all the way to Mr Brooks' mansion with an angry look on his face. Because the front of his car had the Alvarez logo attached to it, the security guard of Mr Brooks' mansion opened the gates for him without delay. Alastair drove into the mansion before he got out of the car. He had a piercing look in his golden eyes as he stared at the building in front of him. “Brooks! Get out of here this instant!”. Alastair yelled. His blood was boiling with insane anger because he was anxious and worried about Kelly. Since Mr Brooks didn't come out of his mansion, Alastair decided to storm in. But before he could enter the building in front of him, one of the security guards who happened to be sweating on his forehead approached him and said, “Mr Brooks is not around, Mr Alvarez”. “He's not around?”. Alastair muttered, and his eyes darkened, as he became even more suspicious of Mr Brooks. ‘Could he be at his company?’. He wondered. ‘But come to think of it, how did Mr
“Debbie?”Debbie stood up from bed after she saw Alan. She was staring at him but didn't exactly know what to say to him. As she was about to lower her head in disappointment, that was when Alan rushed towards her and embraced her.“I miss you so much, Debbie!”. Alan continued to hug her as he said. What shocked Kelly was the minute she saw Alan crying. “What?”. She was so stunned because she had not expected a scary looking man like Alan to be crying like a baby. She wanted to stand up, unfortunately, she had no choice but to refrain from doing that because she had stressed her injured leg when she stubbornly went to make food for Debbie, despite the way the chefs had pleaded for her to step aside. “I- I missed you too”. Debbie cried out, before Alan stopped hugging her and held her hands. Alan had a guilty expression on his face as he stared at Debbie's eyes and apologised to her, “I’m truly sorry for blaming you all these years. I should never have doubted you for even a second”
Debbie was worried about Alan even though she was aware that he was more than capable of dealing with those kidnappers. She stared at Gunnar’s lifeless body and hissed. She was also frowning at him as she clenched both her fists. “You must be the boss of the kidnappers whom my daughter said she killed. I saw you lying next to my daughter, but then, I didn't know it was my daughter who killed you. You’re dead. Serves you right for kidnapping my child”. She said, before she kicked him. After kicking Gunnar once, fear gripped Debbie. She flinched, before drops of sweat formed on her forehead as she mumbled, “What could have happened to my Kelly if those kidnappers and Mr Brooks had succeeded in doing something terrible to her?”. She paused for some seconds as she began to wonder with widened eyes, “If something terrible had happened to Kelly, I don't think I would have seen her again in this lifetime”. “You, your fellow kidnappers and Mr Brooks, deserve to die a thousand times!”.
After telling Kelvin everything that Mr Brooks had done, Alan ended the call because Kelvin assured him that he would make sure to arrest Mr Brooks. Debbie, who had listened to the conversation, became confused because she had heard Alan saying something to Kelvin about Mr Brooks killing Vivianne's family. She couldn't hold in her curiosity and asked him, “Mr Brooks killed Vivianne's family? Who is Vivianne?”. Alan put his cell phone in his trouser pocket. He equally put Gunnar's cell phone in his other pocket, before he paused for a while and breathed deeply as he replied to Debbie, “According to how I see it, Vivianne is our daughter's friend”. “Our daughter's friend?”. Debbie asked, and Alan nodded at her. She added after realising something, “Mr Brooks is an evil and a rotten man. He had committed so many crimes. I hope that after the police arrest him, he will be sentenced to death!”. “Of course, Debbie. He must be sentenced to death. I'll make sure of that”. Debbie held Ala
Mr Brooks' mansion, Alastair returned to Mr Brooks' mansion. The gates to the mansion were opened because Mr Brooks had just driven into the mansion. Just in time, Alastair drove in before the gates were shut. Mr. Brooks got out of his car and glared at the car that entered his mansion uninvited. Upon glaring, he noticed the Alvarez logo that was attached to the car and flinched. “What does the Alvarez family want with me this time?”. Mr Brooks muttered and ran into his house, but Alastair got out of his car quickly and ran after him. Mr Brooks had entered his living room. He was trying to lock the door, but unfortunately, his fingers were sweating and shaking because he was nervous. In the end, Alastair kicked the door open and forced his way in, causing Mr Brooks, who was standing next to the door, to fall to the ground and hit his elbow in the process. “What are you doing here again?! I could sue you for this!”. He hissed in pain and was massaging his bruised elbow as he quar
Ray went on and searched the whole house, including the attic and Mr Brooks’ study. The information he found out about caused the hairs in his arms to stand. “No freaking way. Mr Brooks is the son of the late Mr Hugo”. He opened his mouth in disbelief after saying this. In his hand was a diary, and the diary belonged to Mr Brooks. In the diary, Mr Brooks wrote about how Mr Beckham, aka, grandpa Beckham, had found out about his father's illegal drug business, and had reported him (Mr Hugo) to the police officers. He also wrote about many other important pieces of information in the diary. The diary; “On April 21st, the police stormed into my father's mansion with Mr Beckham. It turned out that Mr Beckham was the one who had reported my father to the police, because of my father’s illegal drug business. I stayed hidden as I watched the police officers take my father away. But before they could even leave the mansion with my handcuffed father, he slumped and died right befo
8pm,Theodore was inside the room of the luxurious hotel he had booked. He had visited the police station he saw on the news, and saw his father who was locked up in one of the police cells. He didn't even have a long conversation with his father, Richard, and he left the station in anger. He could have stayed in his father's mansion. Rather, he willingly chose to stay at a hotel, since he couldn't bear to step foot in the mansion. “That man is unrepentant, and he's a very shameless dad!”. He suddenly recalled what his father had said to him and roared. “I will never apologise to Leo or his family. I did nothing wrong to them. Both companies are supposed to be mine and mine alone! I was cheated! I am the firstborn son of my father! My father shouldn't have cheated me!”. These were the words that kept on playing inside Theodore's head. The words his stubborn father said to him. Up to this very moment, Theodore hadn't called Genevieve, Raquel, or anyone else, to inform them about hi
“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
A year later, The boxing gym, Vivianne’s eyes were shut, and she was standing in front of a punching bag. She was wearing grey shorts, together with a black tank top, and punching gloves. The clothes she wore revealed her fairly muscular body, but her six-pack was hidden behind the tank top. She took a deep breath, before opening her eyes. Her gaze was fierce, and her brows furrowed as she stared at the punching bag, before attacking it with the different punching and kicking techniques she had learned over the months under coach Jimmy’s supervisor. The punching bag eventually scattered, thanks to Vivianne's brutal attacks on it. “Wow, you've greatly improved, Vivianne!”. Jimmy clapped as he said to her. He had been standing close and had been watching her. He was proudly smiling as he approached her with a towel. Vivianne chuckled. She collected the towel from Jimmy and used it to wipe the sweat on her face and neck. She was still wiping away her sweat when she ask
The eyes of the shareholders were fixed on Theodore and they never left his side. The long silence was starting to become too awkward. Taking a deep breath in, Theodore’s gaze became serious. He said, “Who among you were the ones that daringly tried to take over this company after my father was imprisoned?”. “Ahem”. The shareholders cleared their throats and avoided staring at Theodore. Their action made Theodore frown and get up from his seat. He slammed both his hands on the long table, and they flinched. He said to them, “I will let your betrayal slide this time, because if I should fire all of you right now, the company would be shaken. But if you dare try to take over this company next time, you will find out that a doctor can also get crazy”. After saying that, Theodore looked at the shareholders' faces and didn't avert his gaze from them for even a second. The aura that surrounded him was filled with authority. He was reminding them that after Richard, his father, he w
“What?! You and my father are seriously getting married tomorrow?!”. Kelly exclaimed, and when Debbie excitedly nodded at her, she stiffened, before she let out a really excited scream. “That's awesome, Mom. This is great news. No wonder you are so happy”. “Yeah, Kelly. I'm finally getting married to the love of my life tomorrow”. Debbie nodded and said. Tears escaped from her eyes as she thought about how she and Alan would have gotten married years ago, if only that wicked and evil Mr Brooks had never crossed paths with her. Seeing the tears that escaped from Debbie's eyes, Kelly stopped smiling. She caressed Debbie's face and wiped the tears away from it, before asking, “What is it, mom? Why are you suddenly crying?”. Debbie sniffed her nose and held onto Kelly's hand when she said, “I am so happy, Kelly. But, thinking about how that evil Mr Brooks caused your father and I to be apart from each other for such a long time is breaking my heart. I wish your father had succeeded in
“Anne”. Vivianne's eyes widened as soon as she heard Pearl's voice. ‘What is this? Why does her voice sound so familiar to me?’. She thought to herself and blinked twice. She stared at Barrett and Garrett again, and after she had recollected herself, she asked them, “Brothers, please tell me what is going on. Do you know them? Are they your business friends? Who are they?”. Barrett and Garrett went and stood beside Pearl, who was sitting on the chair that was positioned next to Vivianne's bed. With his eyes fixed on Vivianne, Garrett placed his hands on Pearl's shoulders and said to her, “Vivianne, look at this lady closely. Can't you really tell who she is?”.‘Why did Brother Garrett talk like that? It's as if he wants me to know this lady. But I-’. Vivianne stopped thinking to herself and placed a hand on her chest because of the strong emotion she felt. She ignored her surroundings and everyone and paid attention to only Pearl, who smiled at her. She felt goosebumps all over h
Beatrice parked the car outside the hospital as they arrived. They all got out of the car, before Barrett and Garrett led the way. 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
Mr Hart’s mansion,Theodore was inside one of the guest rooms. He was standing, the same as Raquel, who was making sure that the room was in order. 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
