The Billionaire's Hidden Legacy: A Story of Love & Tainted I Chapter 35
The air was different and Charles was beaming up with joy. He wished he could jump up and down in honour of Fiona, David and Leonardo. But the ways of nature had gotten the better part of him as his eyes were droopy red.He sat on the couch of their living room and started to doze off, and while in a sleepy state, there was a huge smile across his face even as his eyes shut gradually. "Fire. Fire. Fire." Cynthia screamed upon seeing her son on the couch.Her scream immediately cleared Charles' eyes and he was awake. "Fire? In this house? Where?" Charles asked and got off the couch. "Relax. There is no fire." Cynthia said and sat down on the couch opposite her son's and giggled. "I can't believe you still have the urge to sleep." She added."Mother! This move of yours is terrible. I'm very tired. And just when I thought I had the perfect time to rest my eyes, you pull this stunt?" He asked and sat down. "I've been sleep deprived for days, Mum. You know this very well. At least, all

Two weeks passed. Fiona, David and Leonardo were discharged from the St Anthony hospital. Charles had taken care of the hospital expenses and was excited that his number-one chauffeur was back on his feet and In good shape. “The excitement I feel in my heart is immeasurable. In all honesty, I’m glad you’re back.” Charles told David who was seated in the hall of the Chauffeurs' apartment. The Parker mansion had separate apartments that were occupied by the many aides in the house. The chauffeurs had their space while the cleaners, cooks and other extra hands had their apartments. “I should be thankful to you too sir. Those kidnappers would have done worse had you not paid the ransom. I’m grateful and will forever be indebted to you for saving my life.” David said in a respectful tone. As the two spoke, a few other Chauffeurs walked in and out of the apartment to get one thing or the other. “I never imagined that I would step foot into this very apartment. To do this for your sake

The trees and the flowers kept dancing in the direction of the fresh air that was blowing all over the garden of the Parker house.This kind of air could easily put anyone to sleep in a split second. But not Cynthia.She had been restless after the disappearance of her son. And while she paced up and down in the garden, she kept her mind on nothing, but her son.The day before, Jean, a younger sister to Charles, had found a letter in her brother's room.[Mum. Dad. I know we are in the twenty-first century and perhaps, writing a letter may seem old-fashioned.But that was the only option to keep you in the know.To cut to the chase, I am currently not in Purple City. I've left for another city to relax and get things in perspective.A lot has happened in a short span and now that things are calm, I think the best thing to do is what I have done.The company has had its fair share of challenges within those turbulent moments and since I'm the one in charge, I dare say I'm in the best

In the heart of Purple City stood the famous coffee shop known as 'coffee cafe.'

I'm sure he will be here soon. Just stop looking out the window and drink your coffee. Your behaviour is kinda suspicious." Chris said."Suspicious? What do you mean?"

Jean had spotted Tracy in the crowd and so she rushed down to welcome her."Tracy, I'm so glad you could make it," Jean said and kissed her on both cheeks.Tracy was dressed in a beautiful yellow dress that was plain but had some rose petal designs embroidered in it. She was in the company of Louisa and Mrs Briggs who had equally dressed for the occasion. "That's a beautiful dress you have on." Jean tried to compliment Tracy who looked uneasy with all that was happening around her. "Thank you," Tracy responded in a weak tone. June, who had also seen Tracy talking to her sister became suspicious and thought to go and say hello."Tracy, what are you doing here?" June asked."Come on June, isn't it obvious? She is here for the shoot." Jean interrupted her sister."Your sister is right. She called and begged me to come. I know it is foolish of me to be here considering our history together. Everyone knows that Jean here does not like me. So when she called me, I was taken aback and wo

It was a weekend and the moment for keeping fit had come. Along the opposite ends of the streets of Purple City were a few people who knew what it meant to keep fit and maintain their bodies in good shape.Charles had been inconsistent with his jog. And for a moment he was discouraged and wanted to return home and abort his plans of running a few hours to burn some calories.But the sight of some adults and children on the road was all the motivation he needed to rescind his decision. A few times that he had been on the road, he went with his pet dogs Becks and Juu. However, he didn't feel like walking them so he left them behind. Charles ran a few miles and could feel the impact of the jog. His body was dripping with sweat and his shirt was already soaked in sweat. His heart was pounding fast and just when he thought to take a break and cool off for a few minutes before continuing, he heard a male voice shout his name from a distance. "Charles. Charles. Charles." The voice kept

"I had an idea yesterday, but it was ruined because of you," Fiona said in an accusing voice and caressed the chest of her husband who was lying on the bed with his shirt unbuttoned. "Oh wow, what did I do to ruin your idea? And what idea could that be if I may ask?" Charles responded and put his hand on the lap of his wife who was seated on the bed."Well, after your time out jogging yesterday, I thought of exploring this house with you. You know your father never allowed me entry on countless occasions, but now that we are legally married, and I live here now, I thought this would be the perfect time to get to know the four corners of this huge mansion." She revealed. "But you suddenly left for your friend's house and on your return, you were mad and virtually said nothing to me till this morning," she added."Aww, I'm sorry honey. Please forgive me," he apologized and kissed her on the thigh. "Why were you so mad last night? What happened at your friend's end?" She queried."Oh,

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.

"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
