The Billionaire's Hidden Legacy: A Story of Love & Tainted I Chapter 44
It was midday and the sun was playing tricks on the inhabitants of Purple City. One moment it would come out in its full glory and brighten up the city. And just before anyone could marvel at its brightness, it would go away and make it seem as though it was dusk.But the tricks of the sun could not influence Charles and Fiona.Earlier, Fiona had suggested they move into Charles' bedroom he once shared with Tracy. And upon sober reflection, her husband thought she had a point and agreed to move back into his former bedroom.But Fiona would want that to happen on her terms, so she suggested a few changes be made in the bedroom before they moved in."Careful with that," Fiona said, instructing Theophilus and David as the two men held on to the edges of a king-size mattress and slowly moved from the ground floor to the upper floor where the bedroom was. "Honey, do you think any of this is necessary? Why can't we just move in and use the old bed? I slept in it once and it was comfortab

There was somber calmness at the Woodpine public cemetery. The gentle breeze in the atmosphere rustled the leaves of the surrounding trees thereby creating a soft echoing sound that reflected the emotions in the air. Tracy's eyes were puffy red from so much crying. And while she stood by the weathered tombstones of her late parents, the tears still kept flowing down her face.She reached for the locket of her necklace that contained photos of her late parents and screamed. But her voice disappeared into the distance. "Mummy. Daddy. I know this visit is unusual because for the last couple of years, I have been coming here on my birthday with my new found family to bring you some flowers. But that won't be happening anymore," she said sobbing.Over the years, she visited the graveside with Charles and Mr Parker to bring some flowers to her late parents. "Your daughter needs you," she said in a weak voice as her hands began to shake. Her late parents had been buried side by side b

The day had faded away and Purple City was in slumber.Edward entered the living room to meet June."Dad, you are back," she said as Eddy walked in and slowly lowered his waist and sat on the couch opposite her. "You left abruptly, Where have you been?" She queried. "I went to find Tracy," he announced. "Come on Dad. How is that possible? Even the police have still not given any positive reports just yet, " she said."Well, it's quite late now. But trust me, by tomorrow you will hear some good news about her," he said. "I found her myself," he added as his daughter jumped and echoed in excitement. "Really? Where did you find her?"Just as Eddy was about to respond, "Charles and Fiona walked in from the kitchen holding hands and kissing.The two had been in there all the while munching on some cookies. "What the hell is the meaning of this?" Eddy asked when his eyes fell on them."Have you no respect for this house? How dare you, Charles? How dare you?" He fumed. "Look here young

In the midst of the grey and dreary outlook of a gloomy day, Fiona paced about in the garden. She firmly held onto a stick of cigarette with her slender fingers as a puff of smoke escaped her soft lips with each exhale.As she moved her head from left to right looking into the air, she saw how the puff of smoke she released from her lips curled lazily in the atmosphere. There was a distant sound of rolling thunder, and although that signified an approaching storm, Fiona didn't care till she was done smoking her cigarette."David!" She yelled immediately her eyes fell on the favorite Parker chauffeur who appeared from the poolside. "Where are you from?" She asked."And what is that supposed to mean, please? With all due respect, I'm only answerable to the Parkers and not you. So I don't think where I've been should be your concern," David said softly."Well the last time I checked, I'm also a Parker now. Which means I wield equal power just as any other Parker. So, before you start

The rains of the previous day could not influence the sun much.One would have thought that after a heavy downpour, the sun would shine with some level of intensity. But it was the opposite.The somber nature of the day gave Edward a reason to go golfing.Adorned in a white T-shirt tucked in over blue jeans, he wore a blue cap to match coupled with a neatly polished black shoe.Eddy stood firmly on the golf course in the backyard holding on to his favourite driver tightly and carefully.Along one edge of the track was a cluster of golf balls, and each one of them had the initial 'P' boldly stamped on it to represent the name Parker. Besides the balls was a golf bag displaying a great number of clubs.Eddy had not played golf in a long time and wondered whether he still had it in him."I can do this," he said in his head and set up a ball on a tee, eager for a great drive. But just when he was about to confirm whether he still had his golf skill intact, Charles shouted from a distance

The past couple of days had seen little to no sunshine. And even in BlueVille, the weather was no different. The birds hid in their nests while the trees kept dancing in the direction of the wind. The somber calmness of the town was one that could induce laziness and force one to stay in bed all day.But Louisa would not give in to such temptation. As early as ten in the morning she was already at Tracy's to finish the interior design she had started."My dear, do you need something?" Mrs Briggs asked Louisa who was fixing the curtain designs along the windows of Tracy's living room.Earlier, Louisa had a tour of the apartment and concluded that it was more spacious than hers. The three-bedroom apartment was painted in plain white colours. And In every corner of the house was a vase containing bright flowers. Tracy had made a copy of the photo of her parents in her locket and had enlarged it into a big picture frame.She had instructed Louisa to fix it on the wall exactly oppos

"You may come in," Charles, whose head was buried in some documents, said after he heard a knock on his office door.Spread on his desk were documents with the title 'Latest signee' on top of them."Gracious afternoon," a feminine voice greeted. "Good afternoon," he responded without lifting his head to see who was in his office."Yes, what can I do for you?" He asked with his head still submerged in the documents."Latest signee, I see," the female voice said upon catching a glimpse of what was so important to Charles that he would not lift his head to see who was in his office. Not even for a second."Yes. We just signed five new clients after losing four clients some weeks ago. Is this not wonderful?" He remarked and flipped the pages of one of the documents."This very client right here has signed a five-year contract with us. He is embarking on a charitable project and needs help with the distribution of a million solar panels to some rural areas," he informed her after reading

"I wonder what would have happened had the ambulance been delayed another minute. I am grateful for their swift intervention," Edward said, explaining to his son who was seated next to him at the visitors area of the St Anthony hospital.Cynthia had been rushed in by the ambulance after she choked during lunch.Charles had been at the hospital for the past four hours. He had to rush down to the hospital after his father called him earlier in the day while he was still at work."So what exactly happened?" Charles asked."I don't quite know what happened. All I know is that I was in the gym when all of a sudden I heard voices in the living room. I rushed down only to find your mother unconscious in the arms of Matilda," he said."Unconscious?" He queried and unrolled the sleeves of his shirt."Exactly. Matilda tells me she choked on a poorly cooked carrot. And after she helped your mother to get it out, she suddenly fell to the ground," he informed his son."This is so unbelievable," he

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
