“ Rodney ? ” Sloan asked again , it seemed she was hearing double or her ears were no longer functioning again . “ Rodney, my son ? ” she asked to be sure of what she just heard “ No ! ” she exclaimed “ Rodney would never sleep with a slutty maid like you ” she added “ But he did ” She answered.“ Not my Rodney , you must be joking ” Sloan rants , she quickly left the maid quarters after instructing the ladies to follow her “ Rodney McMullen ! ” Sloan yelled “ Rodney McMullen ! ” she yelled louder than the first “ Yes Mom ” he answered with a sleepy face on , he yawned as he stretched his hands and look down from the spiral stairs “ come down this minute ” Sloan said in an authoritative voice “ Is there any problem Mom ? ” Rodney asked from the stairs “ Young man you had better come downstairs ” she snapped angrily as Rodney walked down the stairs lazily“ Repeat what you said earlier ” Sloan said to Bessie “ Rodney is the man responsible for my pregnancy ” Bessie said
Ryan read the content of the text over and over again as he frowned his face . What was the person trying to play out , why did he set the location at such a distance . His instinct tells him not to go but the hunch to know how is parents died was high so he decided to go and see this person. He picked his blazer , grabbed a coat Incase it might be cold while he returned and a bottle of water from the refrigerator to keep him hydrated. He walked into the elevator on the top floor and punched the button slightly as he sighed softly , he was no doubt in a hurry to meet the supposed writer of the letter . In no time , he strode out of the elevator at the last floor , Rico sat on a couch where the visitors and business clients sat when they arrived . However he sat there at all times because of his Boss . He was nicknamed king of the client's couch because of the manner in which he sat . “ Can I have my keys ? ” he asked interrupting Rico who was lost in the game he was playing “
“ Asa ” Ryan called utmost disappointment written on his face as it dropped into a frown . He did not want to believe her to be the writer of that letter sent to him and he came all the way to the lake just to see her , hell no ! He yelled in his mind as he stood up from the cabin he sat on and picked the paper napkin which he placed before sitting . “ Ryan do not leave ” Asa said on sighting him stand “ And why should I not leave ? ” Ryan asked as he was pissed already , her presence alone irritated him , her voice which he was hearing sounds so displeasing to his ears . “ I have never been here before , I got a letter ” she said immediately“ A letter to come here ” “ To come and do what ? ” Ryan asked rather impatient “ To come and listen to the secret of who killed your parents if I truly loved you ” Asa said softly as she blinked her eyes seductively “ Are you seriously playing some games with me ? ” Ryan asked as he stared at her coldly “ No Ryan I am not telling a li
“ what a beautiful meeting ” A voice interrupted the tensed moment between the ex lovers , he was the last person Ryan expected .“ Long time no see nephew ” Lugard greeted letting out a smile .Ryan wore a frown and displeasure was written all over his face which he did not mask at all . “ What are you doing here ? ” Ryan asked Lugard coldly “ Is that the manner you chose to say hello to an Uncle you have not seen in ages ” Lugard asked sarcastically while Asa only swallowed as she grabbed her Red designer bag .“ I can see you truly love Ryan , such a sad thing he is married now ” Lugard threw an indirect taunt at Asa who never uttered a reply .“ You want to know how and what killed your parents , your curiosity I must commend is out of this world ” Lugard said smiling like a puppy who got a fair share of meat after a long walk . “ You are the one behind the letter ” Ryan said coldly“ Yes if you please ” Lugard replied as he let out a short smile once more “ Why did you not
Ryan walked swiftly to the car , his hand covered with blood which dribbled down his suit , he retrieves the paper towel in which he placed on the cabin earlier from his pocket and wiped his hand thoroughly before dumping it on the floor. He opens the door, ignited the engine and drove off without sparing Asa a glance . He drove on a high speed groaning in pain , he removed a lot of paper napkins from the dashboard of his car and placed them on the spot with his left hand while he drove with the right hand . He knew Lugard would come after his wife whether he joined the clan or not , he was going to try his possible best to protect her from every possible means of danger even if it meant giving up his life for hers . **** Violet walked around the apartment Mr Brookes had given as a congratulatory gift when she won the elect of the HK groups contract . It was beautiful and had every a latest standard had . It was painted in an all white colour while the doors were made of glass
“Ryan” Violet called in a loud voice as she trembled while Ryan closed his eyelids blood dripping on the red tiled marble floor .Violet heart beats so fast like a party drum in a disco house, she swiftly dipped her hands into his pocket and picked up his cellphone but the phone was locked and she didn't know how to reach out to Rico . She picks her phone and call Jones instead . “ Hello Ma'am ” he said over the phone “ Hurry now to my home quick ” Violet said quickly on the phone with a shaky breath.“ I'll be there in a jiffy ma ” Jones replied sensing the urgency in her voice . She never sounds this way something could he going on , she might be in danger , Jones thought as he board a bike to his Mistress home . Within thirty minutes , Jones arrived at Ryan's Mansion , Violet bent over her husband applying pressure where he bled with paper towels . She would called the ambulance but Ryan was a discreet man he wouldn't want the entire public and press know about his health
“ He is at the hospital ” Violet said in a sober tone“ Who is at the hospital ? ” Sloan asked on hearing that statement “ My husband ” Violet answered “ Mrs Ryan Reynolds please I need your attention ” The doctor interrupted her conversation with Sloan “ I will be with you in a minute Doctor ” Violet responded returning to her call “ I will speak with you later ” Violet said to Sloan as she hung up without waiting for her response .she hurried to meet the Doctor who stood at the counter going through a file whilst dishing instructions to the receptionist “ Excuse me Doctor ” Violet said politely “ Yes Mrs Ryan ” The doctor answered.“ How is my husband faring ?." She queriedhe stared at her contemplating whether he should let her know what transpired at the wardrobe in the emergency unit , after his wound . He discovered a poison which clot in a part of his artery whether taken out or not he will die . Ryan asked him not to tell his wife about it . “ He is out of danger b
“ Asa ! ” Ryan called in a frail voice . Asa leaned forward over the bedrails and stylishly pushed Violet who stood beside the bed rails feigning a crying face . Ryan was not fooled , he knew what she could do to get what she wanted. “ What are you doing here ? ” Ryan asked as he kept a straight face on while she let a tear roll from her already glistened eyes but not to the amazement of Ryan who scoffed inwardly “ I never knew you will die for me Ryan ” Asa said faking a sober tone as she sniffed “ I thought I told you to stay away from me didn't I ? ” Ryan muttered coldly but she hears him clearly “ I can not stay away from you after this mess I have created ” Asa countered placing her hand on her chest as she slightly pulled the gown down letting out a clear view of her cleavage , Violet stood over watching glaring hard at Asa .“ You need to leave now ” Violet said firmly looking at her straight in the eye , Asa smirked mischievously as she faced Ryan replacing a sober f
