016 JOANA'S POV He was about to leave when Caleb came in. " Is he disturbing you?" He asked. " He is, and I want him to leave me alone," " I do not think you should be coming here; she has asked that you stay away from her, and you should do so." he turned to Clinton and told him that. " I do not care what you plan to achieve by going after her; you are the one that should stay away from her," he said. I was getting tired of all the things he was saying, I did not want to hear any of them. I told him to leave because I was tired of him standing there. " Are you talking to me that way? You were the one who threw a divorce in her face, and now you shamelessly walk in here; you should be ashamed," Caleb said. Clinton turned to me. " I want you to trust me this time, I want to protect you from everyone that is hurting you. I want to guide you and ensure you are safe, " he said. " I do not want that from you; I have made it clear to you that I do not want that from yo

017 CLINTON'S POV I stayed in my room all through; I felt like there was no reason to be outside or to be in anyone's face; I was exhausted and tired of reaching out to Joana. I know she was still mad at me, but this was becoming difficult for me. I stayed in bed, there was a knock on my door, I got up and opened it. I had locked the door because I never wanted anyone to open it. Another reason my door was locked was because of Louisa, I had asked her to leave my house, and she had done so, but she would not stop coming over to visit me like I was tied to her or something. It frustrated me. " What is it?" I asked the maid who had knocked on the door. " I was worried about you and wondered why you had locked yourself in the room that way; it was unlike you," She said. Her voice was filled with concern for me. " Thank you, I'm fine," I said. I opened the door and left the room. I got under the trees, the garden path, and stood there. I was thinking of how best to l

018 CLINTON'S POV I called the private investigator that I had hired; he was the one who was watching over Joana's kids; I told him I wanted the kids safe and nothing should happen to them. I got there one day, and I wanted to be sure that he was doing what I had asked him to do. I got there and met his car parked at a distance, he was inside, watching. I was impressed with that. I stayed in the car and watched as the children came outside, they were heading to their car. I got to look at them so well. There was something different; I began to pay attention to the things they wore, their height, and how they looked. I took my phone and called my private investigator. " I need you to leave your car and come to mine; there is something I wish to show you," I said. " Where are you?" he asked. " The car opposite you," I said. He got it and got out of his car. He walked to where I was, opened the car door, and got in. " There is something I noticed. I want to know the

019 JOANA'S POV I got back to Henshaw Group and had the issue they were having sorted out. I was happy that he got back his stance on business. My brother has always helped me, and I was going to do the same. "Thank you so much," he said to me. I got into my car and left the place. I got to the office and attended to a lot of things; the time I had focused on getting my brother's issues sorted made work pile up for me. It may have been worse, but Caleb was the one who helped me make it less. " Why did you do what you did?" Caleb asked me as I looked at him. "What are you talking about? I have to help my brother, why won't I help him?" " That's not it; I'm talking about agreeing with me that I got you pregnant; you and I know that Clinton is the father of your kids," he said. It made me stop what I was doing, I hated to hear that. Part of me knew he was going to ask me about it, but I also thought he wouldn't mention it. "And? Do you want to tell him about it?" I aske

020 JOANA'S POV I got back into the showroom and saw that it was not all the dresses that this was done to. I picked up the ones they left behind for me. I took them out and kept them in my office. " Why are you bringing them here?" " I want to take them home; they will be safe in my house," I said. " Oh no, your house will not be a good idea to keep them. You know people do come to look at them" " Let them come to the house," I said. It was hard for me, but I had to do that; maybe it would be safer that way. The dresses that were tampered with were left that way. I had no plans of texting to fix them, even though there was something to fix about them. At the end of the day, I began carrying the dresses to my car, I was going to take them home. I asked my workers to leave before doing that. I did not want any of them to be around the place or know that I was moving them to the house. " What is going on here?" I heard someone ask just as I turned to go back inside

021 CLINTON'S POV I kept thinking about what she told me. There was no way Joana was going to go around with Caleb. She loved me, she loved me to a fault. She never disrespected me. She has always been there, always being loyal. It did not make sense to me that she had something to do with Caleb before the divorce. She has never shown any interest in Caleb as well. It came as a joke to me, and I did not want to take it lightly. It did not want to believe her as well. She loved me too much to have done that. I began to think of the many reasons she was comfortable with the divorce. Could it be that she had gotten my replacement, and that was why she accepted it that way? It hurt me so much that I began to regret all that I ever did to her. She never deserved it. And Caleb? I knew he had a soft spot for her, but I thought it was because she was now family. I knew they had been friends for a long time, and that explains their closeness. I got into my car and drove dow

022 JOANA'S POV I got back to the office after checking in the clothes that were in the other room. It has already been paid for, and I went to confirm how well-made it was. I was also making provisions for it to be taken to the house as there was no way I could leave it in my office. Someone might take it from me. I had called Michael, he was bringing the car that would take it home. Ken, my driver, came in. " He is here with the car," he said. I went back to the room and asked the ladies to carefully take it to the car that was outside. They carried it carefully and took it outside. " Thank you for coming," I said to Michael. " It's nothing; I told you I will always help you whenever you need help," he said. It warmed my heart. The dress was taken into the car. The moment I got back to my office, I saw Caleb there. There was a big frown on his face. " What is the problem?' " Well, I'm glad you did not call Clinton to come help you with that," h

023 JOANA'S POV I raised my head up and looked at her; then I knew that something was wrong from the way she looked at me; there were tears in her eyes; I rushed upstairs and went to hold her. I took her from there because she was not meant to see that. She was never meant to see any of that, and it was my mistake; I should have locked the door when I left the room. I trusted them enough to leave them in the room. Part of me was happy that it was only her who left the room and not her two brothers. " Can you promise me something?" I asked her. I know I was meant to be mad at her for disobeying me, but I had no time for that right now. " Yes," She nodded her head. " I do not want you telling this to your brothers, not to anyone as well. You should not dare say it to anyone." I pleaded with her, and that was because I was not sure she would keep our little secret; I asked her to go into the room, then I closed the door, and I made sure that I locked the door. I was not g

111JOANA'S POVThe soft ding of my phone got my attention. It was text.“Mission complete.”I stared blankly at the screen. Who was this person? My mind quickly went to Jason.“Jason…”Caleb and Clinton both turned to me, “What are you talking about?” Caleb finally spoke out.“The person behind the shadows was Jason,” I let out a small laugh.“How? He's in jail!” Caleb pointed out.I strode to sit on the couch, a victorious grin on my face, “Yeah, he is, but remember the secret agency he's in.”“The same agency that tried to kill him for exposing Anita…” he scoffed, “I highly doubt, maybe it's someone that also wants Anita gone.”I darted my gaze slowly to him, “apart from me, who else wants her gone? Trust me, my guts tell me that Jason did this.”The two men shook their heads and headed into their rooms.Playing with the tip of the pen, I pointed to the huge clock, “tick-tock Anita… this time, your time is up.”__The car ride was silent, a soothing silence enjoying the cool breeze

110JOANA'S POVThey had no shame.The confrontation had been explosive. Mr. Gates hadn’t denied it. He’d simply claimed that family should protect family—and Anita had sat smugly beside him, like a queen regaining her throne.She barely looked my way, but I felt her satisfaction and tasted it in the air like poison.Clinton finally turned from the desk. “You used your influence to override hard evidence. You know what she did. You saw the recordings. Heard the confession.”Mr. Gates didn’t flinch. “Evidence can be manipulated, Clinton. I don’t trust the words of men like Jason.”“You don’t trust facts,” Caleb spat. “You trust whatever keeps your family name clean. What kind of legacy are you trying to protect when it’s rotting from the inside?”Mr. Gates rose from his chair slowly, placing both hands on his cane. “You may not understand it now, Caleb. But one day, when you have your own family to lead, you’ll realize that loyalty matters more than any public trial.”I had enough. “Lo

109JOANA'S POVSunlight from the arched windows entered the mansion and formed wide bands across the marble floors. I took my place on the living room sofa with a straight posture and crossed legs while I touched my tablet in silence. Instead of reading the screen, my eyes focused on distant mental work. The house stood at peace before violence broke out.The front doors opened.Footsteps echoed.Clinton and Caleb walked in together, dressed in work suits, loosened ties around their necks, carrying the usual exhaustion of a day at the office. But the moment they saw me, they stopped.I didn’t rise to greet them. Didn’t even look up."Joana?" Clinton said, his voice tinged with caution.I slowly looked up. My eyes were expressionless. Not angry. Not hurt. Not welcoming. Just... still. Stone still.Caleb moved forward first. "Is everything okay? Where are the kids?""Asleep. Upstairs. Safe," I replied, my tone flat.Clinton moved towards me from the couch to reach my position, where he

108JOANA'S POVThe mansion stood as an unspoken silent question without any reaction. As soon as Jason parked the car, he sped the tyres toward the garage, and before the engine idled, I bolted from my side to rush through the mansion's main entrance.I directed the security staff posted at the gate to inspect the area thoroughly. “Check the east and west wings—every single room. I want the kids found. Now.”The main door flew open under my hand as I stormed inside. “Where are they? Where are my children?”The maids inside froze at the sound of my voice, but one of them stepped forward immediately, wide-eyed. “We—We don’t know, ma’am. We thought they were in the greenhouse—”“Check the gardens, the poolside, the library, everywhere!” I snapped. My voice was cracking under the weight of my panic. “Clinton? Caleb?”One of the male workers appeared at the top of the staircase. “Mr. Clinton left early this morning. He said he had to meet a supplier downtown. And Mr. Caleb hasn’t returned

107JOANA'S POVHer statement lingered like a bad taste in the air, “It's only a matter of time.”I didn’t flinch. I didn’t even blink. Instead, I smiled. The smile formed on my face, and it took its time as I quietly flashed my teeth. I moved toward her across the hard table and concentrated my stare in her direction just like a hunter studies its target.“If you think, my dear, that you would be able to come out from this one,” my voice was low and soft.“It's over…” I smacked my lips.Anita's expression shifted from a thoughtful stare to clear confusion. She spoke with pronounced speed instead of interest as she probed deeper into my words.I didn’t respond.Because I didn’t need to.The heavy door creaked open behind me.Her head jerked in the direction of the sound, and in that exact second, I saw it—pure, raw panic. A flicker. Fleeting, but real. Her composure slipped like silk through shaking hands.Jason stepped in first.Dressed in plain clothes, looking more like a man who’d

106JOANA’S POVThe morning air was heavy with silence.After breakfast, I did not talk, although Caleb offered to drive me, and Clinton asked about my plans. I left without saying anything. I made a choice to handle it on my own.The police station sat like a solemn block of stone, grey and indifferent to the lives unravelling inside it. The kind of place that didn’t care if you were a billionaire’s daughter or a nobody from the streets—it held secrets, guilt, and truth in equal measure.I signed in, gave my name, and was guided to the interrogation floor.“She’s been denying everything,” the officer escorting me said with a sigh. “Claims she’s being framed. Typical story.”I wasn’t surprised.Anita always played the victim when cornered. It was her survival tactic. But she’d run out of corners this time.Officials assigned her a space with both a long table and window cameras watched by security officers who guarded the entry. A mirror reflection revealed her corporate-style clothin

105JOANA'S POVA few moments passed.“Do the kids know?” he asked, finally looking up.I nodded. “We’ll explain more later. But for now, they know something bad happened, and they’re safe. That’s enough.”He leaned back slowly, exhaustion clinging to every movement. “What happens now?”“Now?” I repeated. “Now we wait for the storm she started to finally pass.”He gazed at me from across the room, showing emotions that fell between regret and remorse. “What will you do?”I looked toward the closed door where Anita had been taken, then toward the grand staircase leading up to where the children were playing.“I’ll protect what matters,” I said. “Always.”Caleb gave a small nod beside me. Clinton glanced at me with something warm in his eyes.And for the first time in weeks, maybe months, I didn’t feel like I was drowning in all of this. I felt grounded. Steady. In control.The silence returned, but it wasn’t heavy now. It was thoughtful. Reflective. A room breathing after holding its b

104JOANA'S POV“Joana… what do you mean?”I didn’t bother answering Mr. Gates’ question. Let him stew in the weight of those words. Let him replay them in that calculating mind of his and wonder what I meant by shadows and what I knew that he didn’t. He wanted power and leverage. But then came the real scream—the kind that made the walls of the mansion vibrate and shattered whatever illusion of peace we had managed to hold onto for a single day.It came from the living room.I froze mid-step.Mr. Gates straightened behind me, his frown now sharp and urgent. We converged toward the shock with our steps matching each other like two magnets drawn to face their end.Stepping into the living room, I saw an expected disaster happening, like a show I was used to, though it stirred up my emotions.Two officers stood at the doorpost with straight postures showing their service badges shining under the sunshine. Staring at the officers in shock, Anita's blouse lost its smoothness, and her eye

103JOANA'S POVThe next morning unfolded like any other. We returned to the mansion, and you’d think nothing had happened the night before—the tension, the confrontation, the near brush with tragedy. The mansion seemed too serene for its usual lively atmosphere. Bright sunshine filtered through the glass to enhance the floor's golden shine, and the children's cheerful voices made architectural echoes. They ran to their various rooms to have their own fun.But there was nothing normal about today.Clinton and I walked side by side into the living room, Caleb trailing closely behind with his usual wary eye. The children followed their regular habits by having Mirabel draw at the window seat as Jake and Japheth competed loudly at their game.During this brief moment, I halted all my activities to breathe. To hope that things might start settling.Then, like the devil knew, just when to knock, a deep voice rang out from the hallway."Joana. A word," Mr. Gates said, arms folded as he sto
