The Billionaire's Hidden Legacy: A Story of Love & Tainted I Chapter 18
It was almost midday and the sun was yet to shine in its full glory. The day appeared slow and lazy. Especially for anyone who found him or herself in the residential areas of Purple City.The residential neighborhood of the city was characterized by calm and peace of mind. And on most days, the place almost felt like a ghost town as most people would have left for work.But the class and wealth that resides in this part of the city could never be subdued.Anywhere you turn, there was an element of luxury that served as a constant reminder of the worth of that neighborhood. Expensive front designs. Luxurious cars such as Range Rovers, Lamborghini, Rolls Royce, Bentley and a few other expensive cars could be seen in front of most of the houses.Only a select few were privileged to own a home in the residential part of Purple City. And the Parkers have been fortunate to live in such a neighborhood and have rubbed shoulders with most of the rich and mighty in politics, music and even foo

The room was quiet and nerves were calmed. Charles was yet to give a piece of in-depth information about who was dead. He did not know how to let it out considering how his father felt about Fiona.But Chris pinched him and whispered into his ears to boldly tell his parents. Charles heeded his friend’s words and blurted it out. “It was in the news,” Charles said.“What was in the news?” His mother asked. “Did you guys not hear the news about the fire outbreak at the Golden Moon nightclub?” he asked.“Well. I did, but what does it matter?” Eddy asked. “I was there last night, father. And all that happened immediately we left,” he said and pointed to Chris and Albert to indicate that they were with him.“But you came out unhurt and that is good news. Besides, I did not know that you were there. And although it wouldn't hurt to know your whereabouts, you are a big boy to decide what to tell me and what not. But the most important thing is that you and your friends escaped that night and

The living room was left in an awkward silence. A lady who did not live at the Parker house had entered the living room and sat down without being permitted to.Edward, who was standing, sat back on the couch as Cynthia and Charles sat adjacent in a chair next to his. The Parkers were wondering how the strange lady was allowed entry considering the tight security post in place.But the strange lady looked comfortable and her posture in her seat made Charles wonder some more. Who was this mystery woman he thought. But before he could further make his deductions and arrive at a possible conclusion as to who the lady was, his mum broke the silence.“Angie! What are you doing here? How did you get past the gates?” Cynthia asked in a surprised tone. The lady in question was Angelina but she called her Angie because of the history they had together.Years ago, Angelina and Cynthia were the best of friends.The two grew up in the same neighborhood, attended the same college and were roommate

The atmosphere at St Anthony Hospital was filled by the sounds of sirens blaring from all angles of the hospital. It was just half past midday and already over thirty patients had been brought in by the ambulance.The smell of antiseptic could not be coiled within the four walls of the hospital.While some visitors sat in the visitor’s area, Doctors and nurses who were on duty rushed down the hallway to attend to their patients. And a few other patients were wheeled across the hallway to their rooms.Charles had nearly created a scene at the hospital. Upon his arrival with his friends, he had wanted to enter the hospital with his dogs and when he was refused entry, he got mad.“Sir, you cannot go inside with the dogs. Please, you may have to leave them outside if you must enter the facility.” One of the security guards informed him.It took the intervention of Chris and Albert to reason with him and calm his nerves.“Charles, you cannot blame the guard or get mad at him. He was simply

“The news about the Golden Moon nightclub is disheartening, to say the least. I know this may sound selfish and inappropriate, but I am glad we left that club unhurt.” Tracy said and handed Louisa the television remote.“I dare say we have the drama that unfolded to be thankful for. Had that silly girl not kissed Charles to wrench my heart, I’m sure we would have stayed behind a little longer. And who knows what would have happened?” She added.And sat next to the right-hand side of Mrs Briggs as Louisa pointed the remote to the television trying to find the channel that reported the news.“You know what I’ve learnt from this?” she queried. “What?” Mrs Briggs asked.“To stay true to myself and continue to be me. Clubbing is not my thing. It has never been and it will never be. I am never going to the club ever again.” Tracy said with her arms folded after she noticed Louisa had found the channel that broke the news about the fire outbreak at the club.“That was sad and hurtful to watc

The day had been long and stressful. The news about Fiona’s death affected Charles’ frame of mind.Upon his return from the morgue, he dashed off into his room and jumped right into the shower without taking off his clothes. He stood under the running water and kept looking down as the water flowed over his body.Soaked, he stepped out of the shower and took off his shoes. Then he slowly lifted his left leg into the Jacuzzi followed by the right leg. For an hour he sat in the Jacuzzi with his clothes on and rested his head on the edge of the Jacuzzi as he gazed and gazed continually into the mirror ceiling. He tossed his head to the left and the right and then finally kept a glance at himself in the mirror on the ceiling.It was at this point that it dawned on him that he was still in his clothes. He reached for the first button at the top of his shirt, then went for the second, and the third and continued till he unbuttoned his shirt while in the Jacuzzi. And dropped the shirt onto

It was yet a brand new day in the home of the Parkers. And the day was just beginning to take shape. Edward paced about in the living room with his hands behind his back as he looked at the floor.The incident that unfolded between Charles and Jean the previous day coupled with all the bad things that had happened within a short period got him worried.Edward paused for a second and lifted his head. He feasted his eyes on the glowing interior of the living room. Fine fabrics covered the windows. Glowing artificial flowers shone in the vases they had been kept.Everything in the room looked astonishing and gave off a vibe of hope, class and happiness. Edward thought the interior goodness was in sync with his home and life, till Fiona came into the picture. Now everything looked bizarre in his family.“Eddy love, you left the bedroom without saying a word, Is everything okay?” Cynthia, who had walked into the living room asked and moved toward her husband.“Dear, talk to me,” Cynthia sa

A few days away from official duties had not done Charles any good. And from information he had received from his assistant Rupert, his presence was needed at the office before things went south.It was half past seven in the morning when he pulled up in the parking lot of the Parker Enterprise in a black Range Rover Velar as opposed to the one he used during the night out with Fiona.He stood in the driver’s seat for a minute and put his head on the steering wheel, put his right arm over his head and added his left arm.His head was on the steering wheel for a minute when all of a sudden he started to hit his head on the steering wheel. Immediately, the pooh-pooh sound from the horn started to draw attention to his car. Everyone in the parking lot turned and stared at his car.His phone beeped with another message from Rupert that read: [Sir, there is a problem. When are you going to the office?]He took a glance at his phone and after he read the message, his eyes moved in circles b

Two weeks passed and Tracy was a little sober due to the information she got from her lawyer.Her lawyer had advised that she get Mr Parker arrested first, before arraigning him for court and eventually getting him behind bars.Tracy had received assurance from her lawyer that the evidence was enough to win the court case and punish Mr Parker.On a sunny day when the sun was making some people wear extra layers of sunscreen just to prevent the rays of the sun from having direct contact with their skin, Tracy didn't seem to care much.She only had a cap on and in her company were two police officers, Jason and Uriel.Mr Edward Parker was seated on the couch, while Jean sat in another filing her nails."Tracy, what a pleasant surprise," Eddy said the moment he saw Tracy who entered with a laptop in her left armpit and a photo portrait in her right hand."I wish, what brought me here is as pleasant as you claim my visit," Tracy said."Tracy, language," Uriel said. "What uncle? Let me spe

"June, is everything okay? For the past two days you have been indoors without saying a word to anyone," Jean said immediately as she entered her sister's room.June sat in one corner of her bedroom, her hair was begging for the feel of a comb. As tears rolled down her soft cheeks."June, will you say something already? Your silence is killing me," Jean said. But her sister would still not utter a word."Anyway, I went to visit Mother yesterday and she asked to see you," she informed her sister.Jean realized her sister would not say anything but cry. So she left her side.Three minutes later, Jean entered with her Dad and said, "Father, June has been like this for hours. She won't say anything to me,"Eddy moved towards June and just as he was about to grab her shoulder, she said, "Don't you dare touch me,""June! What has come over you? Why do you talk to your father like that?" She queried her sister.Eddy's eyes were wide open as waves of shock went down his body. If anyone woul

"Good day, Tracy," the lawyer greeted and entered Tracy's house. She walked her in and offered her a seat. Tracy dashed off to the kitchen to get some drinks for her lawyer when she heard the doorbell ring. "Don't worry, I got it," Uriel said and walked to the door to check who had knocked."Who is it?" Tracy asked at the top of her voice while she was in the kitchen.But there was no response from her uncle.Tracy walked back into the living room with a Tray supporting an apple juice and a glass.Slowly, she lowered the drink onto the coffee table next to the lawyer while she kept her eyes on the guest who had been walked in by her uncle."Careful with that," Uriel said when he realized his niece almost dropped the Tray on the floor."Right," she responded and shifted her attention to the drink for a second and then back to the guest."It's you! Where have you been and how did you know where I live?" Tracy queried.The guest was none other than Jason."I'm so sorry Lawyer," Tracy a

"Tracy, what's going on?" June called me saying something that I could not quite understand. "What's the matter?" Louisa asked."Cyril tells me you have not been to the office in days now. Is everything okay?" She asked.Tracy stood on the edge of the couch, with her legs on the seat on the chair as she watched Louisa talk."Tracy, won't you say anything?" She asked after her friend refused to say a word, ""Uncle, you are here. Good day sir," Louisa greeted the second she saw Uriel."Good day, my daughter. How have you been and most importantly, how's your baby girl doing?" He asked."I'm doing well uncle and Tracy is also doing quite well. I would have brought her here but Mrs Briggs advised she's too young to be taken out," she responded."That's fine. I'm sure eventually we would get to see her," he added."Uncle," she called the attention of Uriel. "Yes, my child," he responded swiftly."Why is Tracy like this? Why won't she say anything to me?" She asked.Tracy's phone lying on

"What the hell are you doing here?" Tracy asked June immediately as she walked in."Errm, what's that supposed to mean? What's going on?" She asked."What is that supposed to mean? This is my house and I don't want you here. So just get out," Tracy screamed. The noise from the living room drew Uriel's attention and he rushed down to the hall."What's going on here?" He asked. "Oh, uncle, you are here," June said."I just got here and Tracy would not let me even sit. She just asked me to leave without provocation," June explained.Uriel got the drift and understood why his niece was asking June to leave. He walked to Tracy and held her by the shoulder and said, "Child, you don't need to vent your anger on her. She has done nothing wrong,""I just don't care uncle," Tracy said and removed her uncle's hand from her shoulder."I don't want her here and that is final," she added and turned away.While she looked away, the doorbell rang and it was Henry."Good day uncle," he greeted. "Goo

"You mean Jason has been sending you anonymous letters? Why didn't you say anything to me?" Uriel asked Tracy."Well, I didn't know who he was until you just disclosed his name. And I didn't think anything serious of the letters till he made some revelations to me," Tracy said.Uriel, who was seated on a chair, got up and walked slowly towards Tracy and asked, "What revelations?" Tracy, feeling broken and hurt, paused for a second to allow the tears to roll down her face."My child, you have barely said anything. Why are you crying? What did Jason say to you?" He asked."Come on darling. I'm your uncle, you can talk to me," he insisted after his niece went mute suddenly."Tracy, would you talk to me? What is the problem?" He asked again after noticing the sobbing of Tracy had intensified.He reached for a tissue on the center table and slowly he started to wipe her tears."Jason told me some things that are still shaking my world," she finally broke her silence hesitantly."He did?

"Father, it's been days since our mother was taken away and you've not made any effort to go and see her," Jean said immediately as she walked in on her father in the living room."I thought you loved her? So what changed so suddenly that you seem not to care about her again?" She asked.Eddy got up from his chair, looked at the face of his daughter and then paced up and down without saying a word."Father, I thought you were going to say something?" She asked again."And what is there to say? I'd be lying to myself if I told you that I'm even thinking straight," Eddy responded swiftly."First, my sister does the unthinkable and now she is behind bars. Then my wife. Not forgetting the mess at the Parker company as we speak, and you dare ask about your mother?" He asked"Where do I even start from? I've lost everything," he said as water formed in his eyes."You can start anywhere, father. Make some calls, and talk to some of your influential people. I don't know but just do something.

A week passed.Tracy paced up and down the living room.Her nanny had gone to be with Louisa while June was with her family.Brooks was all alone contemplating whether or not to go and meet the anonymous fellow who had been sending her letters.The previous night, Tracy received yet another letter from this unknown person instructing her to meet up in a secluded environment."Why would this person want to meet me in the woods? As if his identity was not mysterious enough, this fellow wants me to meet up in the forest. Why the forest of all places?" She said out loud since she was the only person at home."What if the person is evil? Or has some devilish motive? Why on earth should a meet-up in the woods be appropriate and not anywhere open here in the city?" Tracy struggled with mind-boggling questions as she kept moving up and down the room."But what If the person is real and has genuine intentions? I guess my mind is playing tricks on me," she said."Well, I can never be too care
