Dylan immediately called Bryan, eager to know where the two timing bastard of a maid was. She was the only one who could testify against Lucy in court and clear Katrina’s name.The maid had seen Lucy killing Mr Anderson. She was the only eye witness to everything that had happened. Her testimony wasn’t only going to clear Katrina’s name and free her but would put Lucy where she rightfully belonged and that’s in a jail.“Where is she?.” Dylan almost growled on the phone the moment Bryan picked the call.“Good day boss. She’s at the province with her grandma. It turns out she had ran away to stay low there. Wasn’t a hassle finding her. I checked the address already and it’s very functional.” Bryan replied.“Good. I’m headed to the hospital. Meet me there and we’ll leave for there once I’m done.” Dylan replied ending the call.Hope blossomed in his chest and he prayed that his hope would not be crushed. He needed to have a upper hand over Lucy and that maid was all he needed.Dylan pulle
“What do you mean by she’s dead?.” Dylan asked insensitively. All along he had hoped the maid’s testimony would vindicate Katrina, her death meant he was back to ground zero.The maid’s grandmother, Mary’s grandmother looked at Dylan with sad eyes.“Yes. My only girl is gone forever.” She replied, her eyes glistening with tears.“How did she die? What happened?.” Bryan asked with a suspicious eye on the old woman.Mary’s grandmother shook her head slowly in a sad manner. “Not in anyway a person would wish to die. Till this day I can’t keep thinking of what she must’ve done that must’ve pushed her into committing suicide.” The woman said in a dejected manner.Mary had been the only relative she had left, being her son’s daughter. The old woman had lost her son and Mary’s mother to an unfortunate accident which automatically made her the girl’s guardian. For years she had trained Mary and protected her in the way she could until Mary had returned with fear in her eyes from work.Her gra
The word relentless had to be an attribute Lucy had gotten effortlessly since she was consistent in showing up for ever court hearing concerning Katrina while confidently accusing her of killing late Mr Anderson. One would think felt she would’ve given up after such a long time since Katrina in question was in coma and couldn’t participate in the court hearings but she want.Lucy would’ve backed out but in the end, the only way the inheritance could be transferred to her was Katrina getting convicted for killing later Mr Anderson. She had done well in covering up her tracks and had planned so much lies with backed up evidence for her lies when she got to court. Each hearing was a new discovery of who Katrina was as Lucy slandered her in every way possible.Lucy wasn’t making any effort to impress the judge but the jury knowing if she gathered a lot of pity from them, they would consider her to be the real victim in the situation. Plus she blessed the fact that her lawyer was a good on
Mr Michaelson was confident Dylan would break and succumb to his request but he had not expected it to be so soon. He looked his grandson over and could see one thing he had never seen in Dylan’s eyes and it was fear.He was intrigued to know what exactly scared his grandson so much.“I am happy about this decision you’ve made but do permit me to ask what prompted it? The last time I checked, you had resigned yourself to loving the dead girl for eternity.” Mr Michaelson said.Dylan’s jaw hardened at his grandfather’s words. “ Why I’ve decided to change my mind doesn’t matter. What matters is that you fulfill your end of the bargain.” He replied.“Ahhh. About giving Katrina her freedom you mean. Well, consider it done but first you’ll have to marry Anastasia.” Mr Michaelson said sternly.Dylan scoffed at the old man. His grandfather was a very cunning man and Dylan knew this quite well. “Actually, I have a preposition.” Dylan countered as he stared at his grandfather.His grandfather
Time wasn’t on Dylan’s side as he tried to move the kids out of their current home. He had decided to keep Martha since she was quite good with the kids and they loved her whole heartedly but Dylan had let the kids driver go, hiring a new one for the sake of their safety. It wasn’t as if he didn’t trust the driver enough, at the end of the day, he didn’t know him enough. But he had been wise to settle the driver by giving him the Audi he drove his kids to school to begin an Uber business.Dylan successfully moved his kids to their new home and he was thankful the kids had not fought with him about it, though he could see he questioning gaze and concern in Martha’s eyes when he showed her to her room.He had gotten this house a long time ago and had not thought about it until now that he needed to hide his family away from his grandfather.Dylan wasn’t sure of how Katrina would take the sudden movement but he was hoping on explaining things to her and hoping she would actually see rea
Dylan walked ahead of Anastasia, not wanting to talk to her. His grandfather had suggested he took Anastasia for some drinks and now he found himself walking into a cafe with Anastasia struggling to catch up with him due to the heels she had on.“Dylan dear, would you mind taking a hold of my hand? Your legs are quite long I must say…” Anastasia said looking at Dylan over in a seductive way.Dylan stopped in his tracks, huffing as he turned to look at Anastasia. He let her wrap her hands around his arm as they both walked into the cafe.Anastasia took a seat, batting her eyelashes at Dylan who payed her no attention. She was excited to finally be in his presence after such a long time. Anastasia had tried all her possible best to earn a date from Dylan. By going to every function he attended and even visiting his grandfather frequently, but she had never for once met him.“What would you like to order?.” Dylan asked looking at the menu.“Oh. Anything you want is fine by me. I’m less i
Katrina hated the smell that hospital had. It felt like death and she felt dead. After all, she was half dead for as long as she could not remember and the nurses had made it a point to remind her it was a miracle she was now awake.She hated hearing that and more so, she hated the fact that she was heavily guarded with policemen like some criminal who had been caught on a killing spree. She wished for the times when she was a free woman and could go anywhere she wanted to. Now she was confined to the four walls of this hospital room, with only her lawyer and Dylan allowed to visit her. What made all of this more frustrating was the fact that she was not allowed to see her kids. Her own beautiful two children had not seen their mother ever since the burial of her grandfather. It was still shocking to her that Lucy would go as far as starting a case against her concerning the death of her her grandfather. The worst of it all were the implicating evidence her lawyer said Lucy had broug
Dylan didn’t need a soothsayer to tell him what was going on. He had put two and two together and it dawned on him why his grandfather was in Katrina’s ward. He only wondered what his grandfather had said that had upset Katrina so much.“What’s going on here?. Grandfather ? Why are you here?.” Dylan asked the old man with a glare on his face but Mr Michaelson wasn’t faced by his grandson’s glare.“Katrina?.” Dylan asked turning his attention to Katrina.Katrina scoffed, her eyes throwing daggers at Dylan. She was beyond hurt that she could not even express herself as fresh tears wailed in her eyes.“You…”“Sir. Please I’m sorry but you can’t be in here.” A police officer said all of a sudden, stepping into the room.Mr Michaelson frowned because he had personally gotten the permission to see Katrina for as long as he wanted from the judge but he figured the presence of his grandson was the reason his visit was being cut short.“Don’t worry officer. Me and my boy will be right behind y
THREE YEARS LATER“Dylan stop! You’re going to wake Sarah up. Don’t…stop,” Katrina scolded Dylan as his hands keep coming up to touch her boobs.“But they are so big. I don’t know, I think I like it when you’re pregnant with my baby. You only seem to become more beautiful and irresistible,” Dylan replied with a cheeky smile.Three whole years had passed and for Dylan and Katrina it was the best three years of their life. After the trail of Mr Micahelson and Anastasia who were both sent to jail, Katrina had gotten pregnant.She gave birth to a girl Sarah who was two years old now and 3 months ago, Katrina took a pregnancy test which showed positive.“Well try your possible best to resist me. It had taken me quite the strength to put this little woman to sleep and If she wakes up, she’s your responsibility.” Katrina snapped.“Yes mum,” Dylan replied rolling his eyes.“Don’t roll your eyes at me!” Katrina yelled out throwing a pillow at him. Her yelling almost waking Sarah up.“Mum! Mum!
While Katrina left to the police station to alert the police about the sudden kidnap of her children, Dysln on the other hand went straight to visit his grandfather.He had his suspicion concerning the sudden disappearance of his kids and the only person who came to mind was his grandfather. Besides, if it turned out his grandfather was innocent, there was no better person to help me look for his kids than the old man.He was very much aware that his grandfather didn’t run a clean business. He had access to some of the prestigious gangs that caused mayhem in the city and even sponsored some when he needed to take a person out.“Learn to knock will you! Such mannerless behavior. I blame your mother and more so your father for not picking the woman I had chosen for him. Perhaps you would’nt be so…”“My kids are missing,” Dylan stated sternly interrupting his grandfather.Mr Michaelson raised his eyes to his grandson, slowly removing rhe eyeglasses he had on.“And what makes you conclude
Katrina stood in front of the court, her back straight with her head held high. She was dressed impeccable in a black suit pant and had worn heels. That’s because she knew she was walking out as a free woman finally.Her step sister had confessed to the crime which meant she would not be convicted for her grandfather’s death.It pained her that Lucy could not be in court because she had been deemed unfit to be present. The process had been quick and short, the judge declaring Katrina not guilty of the crime and seeing her free.Katrina felt relieved course through her veins, tears spilling from her eyes as the judge gave his verdict.She had hugged her lawyer and out of excitement have Dylan a hug.“I’m sorry,” Katrina said immediately stepping aside from Dylan.“Congratulations Mrs Katrina…”“It’s Miss Katrina lawyer. And now this is done, I’ll get to start immediately with the divorce process to Mr Dylan here,” Katrina interjected.Dylan sighed, aware that this was going to happen.
Dylan stormed into his grandfather’s mansion to talk to him. He wasn’t sure what his grandfather had said to Katrina that pissed her off so much.Worst of, Dylan had been positive that he was finally getting somewhere with Katrina. At least she tolerated his presence when the kids were around but his recent visit had been a total disaster.“Dylan. You’re here.” His supposed fiancé Anastasia said, her heels clicking on the floor as she walked towards him.Dylan’s jaws Locked as he glared at Anastasia.“You…” he started closing the gap between them so fast, his hands curling around Anastasia’s neck as he slammed her back against a wall forcefully.“What the hell were you thinking by going to see Katrina at the hospital.” Dylan stated angrily.Anastasia’s eyes were wide open in fear as she felt a sharp pain at her spine while trying to breath properly.“It wasn’t my idea. Your grand father asked me to accompany him.” She defended.“And you felt it was in your place to visit my wife?.” Dy
Today like the past two days was going to be fun and full of laughter for Katrina and she looked forward to it. From the moment her eyes lid opened, quickly snapping shut from the bright light that glowed in the room, Katrina already knew she could wait for her day to start.Somehow her not being able to believe Dylan bothered him a lot that he had returned with the kids the next day and now he promised her she would get to see them again.Katrina could not imagine the strings he had pulled to have the kids come stay for a long period of time but she was immensely grateful for it.Each time spent with the kids gave her hope and more will to fight for herself. For them. Just like yesterday, Dylan had promised to brring the kids over for a while and Katrina was looking forward to that. What she wasn’t looking forward to was seeing Dylan’s grandfather and Dylan’s fiancé walking into her room.“What are you doing here?.” Katrina asked haughtily the moment Mr Michaelon walked in with Anas
Katrina sat upright on her bed. Three days had passed since the horrible scene that had played out in front of her but each day she woke up, it felt just like the past.Out of everything was the sad part of not knowing where her kids were. Surely Dylan had understood perfectly that she was coming for her kids once she was done with the case of her grandfather’s death. Of which her lawyer had spoken to her, letting her know things were looking up for them as she had almost half of the jury at her side.Katrina wasn’t sure what magic had convinced them but she was glad about it because she needed to get out of the hospital and house arrest she had been placed on.“Mrs Katrina. You have a visitor.” A female police officer said.“It’s just Katrina.” Katrina replied, typing her hair into a loose low bun.“Okay Katrina. She’ll see you.” The police said to the visitor.“No. Get out.” Katrina snapped, her eyes red as she saw her visitor.“Excuse me?.” The police office asked taking a step ba
