"Liam, I want you to investigate if the information that Rael has given is true. I want to know if Lavender is truly back." Robert ordered.
His face was brimming with excitement as if he was about to uncover his most precious treasure.
"Forget about it. I want you to investigate the reason why Rael came to me to reveal the news. If she is planning anything that might affect Lavender, deal with it swiftly."
"Yes boss."
He will just go to school and confirm it for himself. If his son was in deed studying in that school, then it meant that Lavender was back.
Robert wanted to protect Lavender but he had no idea that he was one step behind.
"But boss, shouldn't you observe the other part first. Rael said that Lavender is planning for use her son as an excuse to get more benefits from you, what is she is right and you are jumping right into the pit of fire?" Liam sa
Lavender was about to start the car when her phone rang.Looking at the caller ID, she immediately picked up."Mommy…" a tender voice was heard over the phone."Son, where are you?" Lavender immediately asked."I'm home mummy. Didn't you see that I used our house phone to make the call?""I saw that." Lavender answered. She had been worried about her son and when she realized that Robert might have taken him, she wanted to rush to the Houston family and demand for her son.She did not care about the consequences all she wanted was her son."Sorry, mummy is just worried about you. I thought something bad might have happened to you.""Okay mummy. I'm fine. You can come home be careful on the road I will wait for you.""Okay I will be right back." Lavender replied before hanging up.She did not even care if the so called father was still in her house, all she cared about was that her son was
Reagan was the first to wake up and was startled to find himself being hugged by strong arms.The person was hugging him tightly he felt like he could suffocate.After his dazed mind cleared, he replayed the scene that happened before he fell asleep.His father had picked him up from school and brought him home.Wait… his father!He thought that it was just a dream but it seemed it was real.The man hugging him now was his father.It felt so good to be hugged by him. He has never slept this good his entire life. But this is the sweetest sleep he has ever had since he started missing his dad.Reagan gave out a silly smile and closed his eyes again. He did not want to move away from this embrace. It felt safe and warm.Just as he was enjoying being hugged by his father, he heard her mom's voice coming from the kitchen.His mom was back? What will happen if she sees his father? Will she be sad?Re
The family of three sat down for dinner.The atmosphere was not as awkward as Lavender had imagined.Everyone was well behaved no one talked during the meal.Robert also noticed that Lavender was picking out specific dishes for her son. The way they interacted was a clear indication that they depended on each other.Robert was surprised because most of the dishes were his favourite.He felt a warm and fuzzy feeling in his heart. It seemed like Lavender had never forgotten about him. She remembered everything he liked and even made it for him.He has never eaten that much for the last seven years. It was satisfying that he did not want to put his chopsticks down.."Mummy, I want to eat carrots." Reagan said.Lavender looked at her son like she was hearing things."Haven't you always hated them?""Not anymore. A man shouldn't be picky with food. I want to grow as tall as daddy." Reagan said..
As the two were still embracing, a phone ringtone startled them back to their senses.Lavender was expecially embarrassed because she was supposed to hate this man but instead, she had hugged him back.Who would do such a stupid thing?Robert did not let go of her. He simply hugged her with our arm as other fumbled in his pocket to find his phone.Who dare ruin his moment with his woman? He had almost kissed her, but look them now, they were back to square one.But when he took out his phone, his eyes turned gentle at the name on the screen.Lavender took all this in but she did not have the time to look at the caller ID.She thought that Robert might excuse himself before picking up the phone, but he picked it up right in front of her.Infact, he was still hugging her."Hey sweetie." His voice was gentle and filled with indulgence.Hearing him call sweetie ever so gentle, made Lavender feel like
The internet was in an uproar.A doctor had alleged left a surgical knife and cottons in a body of a patient to seek revenge!"This is so immoral. Even if he had a grudge with the patient, that was not acceptable.""The commenter above, I agree with you. He took advantage of his profession to seek revenge on an innocent human being. I thought that doctors are the ones that care about the life of their patients the most.""Who said the doctor was he, she is a woman…. a woman!" Someone argued."Oh my God! I have always known that the woman's heart is the most vicious, I never knew that it would be to such extent.""Was the patient her ex or something?""The person who started the rumours, could you please verify if what you are saying is true?" Some people were still rational and demanded for the truth."What truth do you want, everything is crystal clear." Some people who loved drama only looked at things on the sur
When Lavender arrived inside the hospital, the hospital was filled with reporters.She wondered if they had camped there the whole night.She covered herself with the scarf, although she knew that no one would recognise her, she still had to be cautious.Lavender was about to break through the line of the reporters when someone shouted from the crowd."She is here, the evil doctor is here!" Someone shouted.All the reporters turned to look at the source of the voice. Their eyes were shining with a gossipy light."Where is she?""There. The one who is covering herself a green scarf."The reporters looked at where the person was pointing and were shocked when they saw a petite looking lady.She was covering herself with a scarf and mask on her face, it was hard to tell if she was a doctor.They thought she was a patient when she arrived."She is doctor Sheila Hailey. I can't mistake her."L
Lavender returned to her office. On the way, everyone looked at her with a judgmental gaze.It seemed like they couldn't wait to get rid of her."Dr Sheila, what are we going to do now?" Her assistant asked."Laura, can you help me summon the doctors we were with in the operation?" Lavender asked.In the hospital, every lead surgeon had a group of doctors to work with. They could not just work with anyone.When she had first reported to the hospital, those are the doctors that chief Stanley had assigned to her.At first, they were very doubtful of her skills, but after witnessing her magic in the operating room, some of them even started to worship her.But now that something this huge has happened, they were no where to be seen?"Dr Sheila, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. None of the doctors turned up today." Laura said."I have been trying to reach them but they all gave out various excuses. Some even
Stanley quickly organised for the press conference in one of the hospital hall.It was a quick call but a lot of reporters had already seated themselves in the hall.It's like everyone loved gossip and they were eager to get the first hand information.Stanley, dressed in a blank suit, stood in front of the cameras, his expression serious.Lavender too had been summoned and was sitting at the podium with a few of the doctors."Hello friends of the media, I'm Dr Stanley, the chief of hospital XXX, today I stand before you to clarify the rumours that have been going around about one of our doctors who was involved in medical malpractice." Stanley said."We as doctors like keeping a low profile because our role in the society is to save our patients, but I never knew that one day I will stand before the media, exposing one of my staff."When they heard Stanley, the media was in an uproar.Did he mean that the rum

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
