The Twins with Different Parents Chapter 36: Personal Pleasure
Ruth looked in the direction of the bathroom whose door closed gently as he entered and wondered if his 'Okay' meant he had heard her. "This is not the kind of life she had anticipated when she agreed to marry him," she thought still looking at the closed bathroom door. She exited the room, went downstairs and entered the balcony. She sat on the chair and admired the light-up city. It was amazing looking at the city in the night from where she sits yet it could not give Ruth a reason to smile. She had watched movies, read stories and created an idea of what marriage looks like or should look like but that is not at all what she has. Her parents had their difference but aside from Chantel putting up some odd behaviours sometimes, making her seem like a weirdo, they were a happy family. Well, they were till misfortune hit them Ruth was sitting on the balcony with all these thoughts running through her head. She didn't realize Katherine had entered the balcony and was looking at her.

What was supposed to be a happy married life for Ruth has become a nightmare she could not wake up from. She could not talk to Chantel about it like she will usually do with things that bothered her. She warned her about Nick and never liked him in the first place. Ruth lay on the bed alone in deep thought. She had agreed to marry him because she love him and also she knew he could help with her mother's health as she was not working due to her current state but the man she is married to is not the Nick she once knew. 'You turned me into this,' she repeated the statement in her mind and knew this statement is linked to whatever happened at the promo which she has no recollection of after taking the drink given to her and Damien at the entrance. Despite how he is treating her, she still loves him and blames herself for what he is now. "If I turned him into what he is, I can turn him back to what he was," she concluded in her heart and shut her eyes to sleep but still could not. The

"How about Katherine, will you send her away too," she asked unfazed "I have my reasons for keeping her around," he replied and walked towards the closet and grabbed his sleepwear"I also have a reason I want my mum here. She needs me too," she replied "Okay, I am moving her up to the apartment above ours," he said "Alone?" Ruth questioned"No, she will have some servants there with her and you can go see her. It is just a staircase away," he said and Ruth said nothing "Good, so you move her there tomorrow," he said and g

When he returned to the bedroom, Ruth was already gone. "I need to understand what happened last night," he thought staring at the empty bed. He got ready and left the apartment for work. Mrs Brown was relaxing in the garden as she admires the environment. As the days pass by, her health gets better except for her leg which has refused to heal. She thought she would put the walking aid down at some point but it didn't look like that was not going to happen.Ruth has been busy trying to understand what was happening but she still made time to check up on her. At Mrs Hayford's apartment, Chantel was still waiting patiently for Ruth to call with news of Mrs Brown's eye issue but that appears to be taking forever. She had changed the medication several times to get the results she wanted but for some reason even though Ruth assured her of using the medication, nothing was happening. On the balcony with her friends, Chantel was having fun chatting away with her boyfriend sitting next t

"No, I think Ruth came here the last time. I wanted a way to confirm and your feedback now confirms she knows you are not a house help," Mrs Hayford announced making Chantel raise an eyebrow "She was here? When?" Chantel asked surprised "A couple of days ago. You remember when you suggested I get a security guy to be at the gate?" She reminded and Chantel thought for a while and recalled the day"Yeah, I remember," she replied"Yep, that day, she was here," she repeated"So what are we going to do," Chantel asked "Don't worry sweetheart, I have my ways," she said and the side of her lips curled upBack at Cassandra's Ruth and Mrs Brown were leaving for Nick's apartment.

"Mum, why do you have your signature on a surrogacy contract?" Ruth asked and Mrs Brown jumped out of the bed"What are you talking about?" she asked avoiding her gaze"Mum," she called and sat on the edge of the bed looking at the back of her mother's head"I recently found out, Chantel has been lying to us. When the unexpected happened and you and your dad's account miraculously ran out of money, we all tried to raise money for your care because you were both in the hospital," she narrated and her mother listened silently but with her back facing her"Chantel helped me with getting employment at the restaurant where I work now and she found for herself a job as a house help at Mrs Hayford's home," she continued "Guess what I found out?" she asked her mother"She is not a house help and the apartment had not opened vacancy in a long while now.

"I am sorry. I could not handle parting from you. I discovered later I was having twins. I could have given one child out but I was scared of getting arrested for breach of contract and my husband didn't know," she explained crying "Wow!" Ruth sat holding her head in her hand ignoring her mother as she pleaded for her forgiveness."So Mrs Hayford, our landlady is my real mother by blood?" she asked Mrs Brown turning slightly to look at her"Yes but I didn't know she was our landlady until the day she visited our home," she replied "Wait, so you didn't know?" Ruth asked surprised and she shook her head in a no"Wow! Wow!" Ruth repeated standing up to her feet."Ruth it doesn't change anything. You are still my beautiful girl," she said dragging herself to the edge is the bed"Mum, it changes everything. You may have carried us for nine months and raised us as your own but we are not your children," Ruth said sternly but her eyes were filled with tears'I am so sorry my sweety," she p

Nick was way ahead of us," She narrated and Chantel covered her mouth shocked "The rest of the story you know. I am here and so are you," she added and Chantel sat down next to her "So what are we going to do?" she asked "The leader mentioned to me on our way here that, he has a secret connection with some drug lord and he will get us out of here," she said "Do you believe him?"

The Twins with Different Parents Chapter 75: Shocking News
Meanwhile, Chantel who had not been herself following the demise of her sister was now heading home after staying in the office for a while after closing. She packed the car in the garage and stepped out after a while heading for the main door. The servant opened the front door when they heard the car drive in. "Welcome home Ms Chantel," she greeted and Chantel just waved her hand in the air dropping the keys on the counter next to the door. She quickly changed her shoes to something more comfortable and the servant took them away to clean them. She headed straight for her bedroom. After taking a shower she just jumped into bed and closed her eyes. Meanwhile, at the station, Mrs Hayford was now awake and the leader of the criminal group together with his three men were all behind bars.

He read and turned to Nick "The police are here," he said but before he could return his focus to the door, he was shot in the shoulder and the stomach, but Nick shot the man that had entered. "Boss, we are surrounded, the police are here," reported one of the men to the leader "What should we do?" he asked He said nothing but removed from his breast pocket what looks like a phone and flipped the pad open. The other men watched him as he dialled some numbers on the device and next, they heard explosions accompanied by screams. "Get everyone, out there and call the rest to come in," he ordered "I will take care of Nick and his friends, they are wounded right?" he asked and proceeded with the men to find Nick "Yes boss," the man replied and pulled out his phone to make a call as he followed his boss together with four other armed men to search for Nick and his friends. All this while, Mrs Brown was still locked up where Gustave kept her and Mrs Hayford was also still sleeping

"I don't intend to let you go. I will only be happy when I send you away to join your husband," she said and pulled a gun but before she could shoot her, someone shot her neck with something. She felt the back of her neck and pulled what looks like a dart and she fell to the ground. "Sssh, I am here to help," came the voice of a man in a mask. "I have to take you to somewhere safe," he said "Okay," Mrs Brown responded unable to recognize who her saviour is due to the mask he was wearing but the voice was very familiar. The man sneaked her out of the room and put her in another room. "Stay here quietly and whatever happens, don't scream and don't make a sound. I will come for you," he said and Mrs Brown nodded. She could not walk anyway and without her wheelchair, how far can she run was the question. She sat on the floor quietly as instructed by the man. She heard the door being locked but she remained silent as instructed. Even though she could not tell, the man that had re

I can assure you of that. Now let's make this simple. I have all the documents on every property your parents owned. Some I am sure you didn't even know about. All you have to do is simple. Sign everything over to me," he said and gave him a document. Nick took the document from his hand looking at the man pointing a gun at him. He went through them. He did know of some of the properties mentioned including his company. There were some hotels and Estates his parent owned that he didn't know about. He looked through the document and immediately found out the reason why his parents were killed. Aside from the fact that his parents acquire so much wealth making them the 6th richest in the world.

He went to the bedroom and ready saw a note. [If you want to see your family again, come to this address. Don't do anything funny, we are watching you] He read and his heart skipped multiple beats. He paced up and down the room thinking of what to do. "Who has my family, Mrs Hayford or the tugs that took my parents?" he thought and paced up and down the room. He took the clothes he was wearing off. He took a quick shower to remove the tunnel smell from himself. He put on fresh clothes and without combing his hair, he sent a message to Gustave. [I just got back and everyone is gone. All I have is a note asking me to come to an address] He typed and sent it to Gustave.
