Robert closed the document he was looking at after signing it. He took his coat that had been placed on the back of his chair, took his car keys and left the company.
Houston private hospital was not far away from the company. Robert had considered it when he was thinking for the location of the hospital.
He had thought that it will be easy for him to look for Lavender during the day maybe for lunch and even pick her up from work or drop her at the hospital in the morning. He wanted to use every opportunity possible to make sure that the gap between them is closed.
After ten minutes if driving, he was already at the hospital parking lot.
He did not get out of the but gave Lavender a call. Many people didn't know if his relationship with Lavender yet. He did not want to give her unnecessary trouble.
"I'm already here." He said through the phone.
"I will come right away." Lavender replied.
"Be careful. Take your time I will
The pair soon arrived at the airport.Cindy and her brother were already waiting. Although it has only been twenty minutes since they alighted, Cindy was already getting impatient. She wondered why Robert was not yet at the airport.Although she wanted to so badly call him she did not want to appear desperate.Robert arrived at the airport's parking lot and called Cindy."Where are you? I'm at the parking lot please come over." Robert said over the phone."Brother Robert aren't you coming to help with my luggage?" Cindy asked. She did not expect that Robert would not go to her right away after reaching the airport.It seemed like he had not missed her at all."There are a lot of people who carry luggage at the airport. Just find one I will pay." Robert said."Did you not miss me at all?" Cindy asked feeling wronged."Why would I be here if I hadn't missed you. Hurry up and come over with Derrick if you delay any fu
Cindy looked at Robert's changing expression and wondered what was wrong. She followed his gaze and when she looked over she was stunned to see Lavender.Lavender was standing right behind them and smiling at Robert. She knew Lavender because she had seen her photos more than once even if it was the first time of them meeting.She was obsessed with Robert that she knew everyone that he interacted with like the back of her hand."But what was she doing here? Didn't Robert already had a wife! Could it be that Lavender was…." Cindy thought about it and she was stunned. She couldn't believe that Lavender was actually Robert's wife. She was shocked at her deductions but she did not let it show on her face. She put on a kind smile as she awaited to see what was going on.Or maybe it was just a coincidence and they happened to meet at the parking lot. Maybe Lavender was also here to meet someone. All kinds of thoughts were racing through her mind. S
Cindy secretly smiled, feeling smug about what she had just accomplished. When she saw the displeased look on Lavender's face she felt even more good.'Heh, this is just the start, I'm going to do everything I can to get my brother Robert back. You just wait and see. He is going to throw you at the back of his mind and he won't care about you.' Cindy thought.Robert had no choice but to walk to the driver's seat. He now regretted why he did not bring his driver.He knew that although Lavender had already forgiven him and accepted him back for the things he had done to her in the past, there was still a knot in her heart.And if she was slightly displeased with him, the consequences would be catastrophic. He did not want anything to come between them even if it was his precious niece.He only prayed that Lavender's intuition was wrong and that she was just overthinking things.Robert started the car and moved out of the parking lot, soo
When Robert heard Lavender the hand that was handing the tissue over to Cindy froze. Even Cindy's sobbing stopped.Robert felt his heart thumping nervously.Lavender must be really angry, right? But how would he dare leave her here? Would that make him look like a real bastard?"We will go home. I will contact the kitchen to prepare dinner right away." Robert said. He immediately drove away the moment the traffic light turned green. He was afraid that Lavender might really alight from the car."But your niece is even on the verge of breaking down won't she get mad at you for refusing her request? You can go have fun like how you used to." Lavender said in a mocking voice.The smile the had made its way on Cindy's froze.Was Lavender getting back at her?Although she knew that Robert might really get mad at her Cindy did not care. Her aim was to make Lavender hate Robert. She wanted her to see just how good her relationship with
Robert carried Lavender directly to the master bedroom. He did not even greet his kids who were playing in the living room. He was worried that they might wake her up.When the kids saw their father carrying their mother in a princess style, they did not go up to them and only gave him knowing smiles. They obediently stayed where they were and continued to play on their own.They have already gotten used it. It seemed that their mother was very busy nowadays and she will always sleep before she arrived home. It was their father who carried her all the way to the bedroom before he came to greet them. Even eating dinner with nowadays was a luxury.The kids were busy playing when two un announced guests entered the house. They looked at them and it was only Reagan's face that lit up when he got a good view of the man walking in the house while holding different boxes in his hands."Uncle Derrick!" He shouted excitedly as he rushed towards the man and threw h
"Yeah how could I compete with my uncle, I didn't stand a chance from the very first moment." Derrick said with a self mocking smile.His uncle was powerful, how could he possibly compete with him he could as well admit defeat. He could also tell that the relationship between his uncle and Lavender was great, he could not bring himself to come between them."You mean my daddy us your uncle?" Reagan asked with shock."Yes." Derrick affirmed."No wonder. That is why your sister looks a lot like my grandmother, if I didn't know any better I might have thought that she had plastic surgery to look like my grandmother. So we are really related." Whitney said.Cindy who had done plastic surgery felt her face stiffen when she heard Whitney.This young girl really had a sharp eye. But unfortunately she had not noticed and she was only guessing. She looked at the three children and made a mental note that although they were young they were not s
The dinner that was supposed to have a table full of people only ended up with three people sitting on the round table. Cindy had lost her appetite a long time ago but since she wanted to spend more time with Robert, she could only force herself to eat. She also did not want to seem petty nor did she want Robert to notice that she was actually seething in rage. She wanted to appear as graceful and magnanimous as she could in front of the man she loved. Derrick on the other hand was concentrated on eating. He pretended like he had heard nothing when Whitney and Cindy were exchanging words. He was very hungry and he could not waste another second. He wanted to finish the awkward dinner as soon as possible and leave this place. He could feel how Robert loved and protected his family and he did not want to cross him. "It has only been eight years but everything in the city has changed?" Derrick asked. He wanted to break the awkward s
Robert rushed to the bedroom. When he pushed the door open he found that Lavender was already awake and she was playing with the kids on the bed. "When did you wake up?" Robert asked as he approached the bed a loving smile could be seen on his thin lips. "Not long ago. Are your niece and nephew still around?" Lavender asked. Her voice was calm and Robert could not sense any emotions in it. "No. I have asked the driver to take them to the hotel." He said as he stood by the bed. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead and then he did the same to his children. "Go wash up and let us have dinner. It is getting late. Kiddos let your mother wash up. Let us go to your rooms. I want to look at your homework." Robert said. The kids immediately followed after him obediently giving Lavender ample time to clean her self up. Actually she wasn't really sleeping. She woke up the moment Robert placed her on the bed. It was just that she

At the abandoned house, Emma was pacing back and forth as she looked at her watch."Is this man trying to test my patience?" Emma asked her father."Relax. He won't let his daughter die no matter what. Remember we gave him the coordinates for the longest route. Maybe he is still stuck on the heavy terrain of road leading here.""I haven't heard from Cindy. Why don't you call her and ask her whether she had already dealt with Lavender?”“I will call her right away." Emma said and dialed Cindy's number. The phone did not go through. She even dialed her dad's men that were protecting Cindy but it did not go through too."Dad something is wrong." Emma said. "None of the phones are going through." She added.Although Lion also felt that something was wrong, he did not think too much about it. The only thing that he cared about was her daughter to get her revenge."Call the other people and tell them to bring that little bastard over." "Their phones are not going through too."Just as Lion
"Just tell me where my brother and sister are and whether they are fine.""I will go make a call." The one who seemed as the little leader immediately left to make the call.He had been confused by the little boy's speech that his mind was blank.Were they really messing with the wrong guy? They were not from the city so they had not heard much about the Houston family and the ruthless heir.They were just a small gang that lived on the street. They depended on small jobs and theft for survival. Lion had found them and seeing how skilled he was they had decided to follow him. They actually believed in bullying the weak and fearing the strong notion.So, when he told them that he had a mission for them and that they will earn big, they readily agreed. The man stopped thinking about it and dialed his boss number. He can't let that little boy scare him.……In the car….Robert heard his phone beep and looked at it. After he saw the content of the of the text, he could not help but smile.
"You make it sound so simple." "Don't worry darling I won't let anything happen to our kids." "I trust you.""Why don't you do me a favor, leave this to me and let me take care of it. I promise that nothing will happen." "No that won't do. Even if we are going to ambush them, we can't give them a chance to retaliate. Since Emma and Cindy managed to pull off something like that, it can only mean one thing….""They have someone powerful helping them from the sidelines." Robert finished the statement for her."Yes. Since we don't know how powerful the enemy is, we can only play along with them." Lavender said. She would never take the life of her children and her friend lightly."So darling just let me go with you. Me staying at home while knowing that my kids are in danger is a real torture. I promise that I will look after myself." Lavender said."Okay. Grab some thick coats for you and the kids. They might be a cold by now."…..In the abandoned house….Lion was looking at Whitney
The car the Cindy was in was moving at a very high speed. Although the roads were bumpy and they almost rolled over a few times, Stella and the kids were still unconscious.Seems like that drug was really strong."Miss, why did you kidnap the woman too? You know that boss doesn't like it when someone goes against his orders." The man who was driving asked."That is none of your business. You should concentrate on driving. I will take care of the rest." Cindy said. As long she got what she wanted, she did not give a hoot about anyone.The driver shut up and the two other guys did not say anything as they watched the kids carefully.….Back at Lavender's place, the police had already arrived at the place and after checking everyone they realized that the suspect must have gone with children.And there was only one suspicious person missing among the guest and that was the kids’ Arts teacher."Why would miss Yolanda want to kidnap her own students?" Lavender asked with obvious doubt.It
The party began at five thirty o'clock in the evening. Since it was just for kids there were not a lot of formal talking. People were just socializing and making connections. Cindy who had already blended in as the kids’ Arts teacher looked on as people enjoyed themselves with disdain.Everyone here only cared about their benefits and whether they will leave an impression on the Houston family. After all the entire power of the Houston family lied in the hands of Robert and Lavender was also an internationally renowned doctor who had won major awards because of her medical papers.People just wanted to suck up to them so that they could have it easy in both the medical and business field."I think I now understand why you insisted of planning everything on your own." Stella said. She was hugging a man's hand and Lavender was happy to see them together. "You two look good together." She said with a smile."If you had not insisted on pairing us together, we would have missed out on ea
The long-awaited birthday party soon arrived. Although their exact born date was on a weekday, the party was held over the weekend since the kids had to go to school and their parents had to go to work during the week.Lavender had bought a much bigger villa and it was just right for the party since it was being held in the big yard of the private villa.She had refused to move to Robert's villa, although it held a lot of memories for the both of them, she did not want to remember her pitiful, painful past."Hurray it is finally the weekend and I am super excited." Whitney said to the boys."Yeah me too. I never thought that this day will ever come." Reagan said."How did you celebrate your birthdays with mummy?" Whitney asked curiously. Since they were just the two of them, did her mother also throw such a huge birthday party for her brother just like their father did every other year?"Mum will always buy three cakes. Every time I asked her why she would buy three cakes she always s
Three months passed by in flash since the engagement party and since Cindy’s disappearance.Robert had not wanted to involve himself at the start but seeing how battered Derrick looked, he decided to give a helping hand.But even with his resources, they did not manage to find her. The young spoilt mistress seemed to have vanished into thin air.There were no records of her leaving the country nor was there a corpse to prove that she had died. They had even contacted the police but they had not received any news of suicide or murder. Robert could only give up at this moment."You should stop stressing over her. She is all grown up and I am sure that whenever she is, she is safe." Robert said to Derrick. "I can't help but blame myself. All of these is my fault. If I had not spoilt her rotten, she wouldn't have turned out like that." "All of us loved her and spoilt her so we have to share the responsibility. But that does not mean that we should live in guilty for the rest of our live
Chapter 136 "What is wrong with her?" Derrick asked feeling uncomfortable from all the touching. He was shocked that he was actually having a reaction and hastily pushed Cindy away. Cindy moaned and was on the verge of undoing the zip on her dress.The smell of the male hormone was too much for her that she just wanted to grab whoever it was and eat him up."She is drugged so she needs a man to find relief." Robert said with less concern.Derrick and Lavender were shocked. Lavender was a doctor so she immediately knew what kind of drug Cindy had taken."How did she get drugged? Uncle…… you? Derrick looked at Robert in disbelief. "I am not the one who added the aphrodisiac in her wine glass, she did that to herself. I am just giving her a taste of her own medicine." Robert said."What has my sister done?" Derrick asked. He was in so much shock that he did not even know what to think."She wanted to drug my wife and you and lock you in one room so that she can embarrass my wife in fro
