Gordon didn’t understand why Amanda ran off like that. He wondered if she forgot to turn the shower off or if she hadn’t had her bath yet but it was not enough for her to run off like that.“Babe, what’s wrong? Please let me in.” Gordon said.“I’m coming, let me just have my bath. I’m supposed to have done that a long time ago.” Amanda said.“Is that why you ran off like that? You got me scared. I thought something was up.” Gordon said.“We’ll, you know how much I like to be clean but I’ll be out in no time.” Amanda said.“I would have joined you but I just had my bath. Joe and I went swimming and I just had my bath right after. Get out of the shower quickly, I bought some food, let’s eat it before it gets cold.” Gordon said.“Okay, babe.” Amanda said.Amanda took her bath and came out as soon as she said she would. She and Gordon had lunch and they talked for a while before Gordon decided that he wanted to take a little nap.Amanda pretended to join him but she wasn’t sleeping, she c
Present day…“Gordon, is everything alright? Isn’t it a bit late to be holding a meeting? We could be resting now, you know. I’m pretty tired.” Gabriel said. He feared that Gordon was about to expose Amanda’s secret. Gordon didn’t say anything to him, neither did he act like he was being spoken to. He just stood with his hands folded at his back staring at a blank space..Little by little, everyone was coming in until they were complete. They were still waiting for Amanda but when she didn’t come, Gabriel volunteered to get her.He ran as fast as he could to the lake where he spoke with her earlier and she was still there. Gabriel was surprised to see her speaking to herself and touching herself. She looked like she was having sex with the hottest guy on earth. She was moaning and groaning so loudly that Gabriel had to ask her to stop.“What’s going on, Amanda? What’re you doing?” Gabriel said as he tapped her.“Uhhh uhhh that’s what I was telling you about. He always comes when I
“What? What do you mean by that? Is this true Amanda?” Seth said.“Are you asking her if it’s true? She just confessed it to me some moments ago. I can’t deal with this, it turns out she’s been cheating on me for quite a while and she is in love with the man. I want to set her free.” Gordon said.“Gordon, I understand how wrecked you are right now but please, only speak when you are spoken to.” Seth said.“Harry is not real. I witnessed that myself when I went to bring her.” Gabriel said. He didn’t want to say this in the first place but he just had to. He felt like he had to defend Amanda, something was not right with her.“Say one more word in her defense and I’ll forget that we are brothers and do something very wicked to you.” Gordon threatened.“Gordon, not another word from you.” Oliver thundered.As though Gordon was sucked dry of all the adrenaline in his system, he became very calm and quiet.“Amanda, is it true that the child you are carrying does not belong to your husband?
“Where are you going, Seth?” Oliver said as they watched Seth storm out of the house.“I’m going to get the child back. Penelope thinks she can just do whatever she pleases and get away with it.” Seth said. He was very furious.“Seth, you have to calm down. You and I know that Penelope will not just give the child back. Her ways are cunning, we can’t fall right into her trap, she can’t win this.” Oliver said.“Yes, I agree with dad. There’s no need in going, the child doesn’t belong to this family and we are better off like that. I think it’s fate’s way of telling us that the child should not have been conceived in the first place.” Gordon said, glaring at Amanda.“Shut up, Gordon. I’ve told you not to speak while the elders speak. No matter who the child belongs to, it’s wrong to be that insensitive.” Oliver said.“I’m sorry, dad. I’ll try to keep my mouth shut but you should know that it’s very painful to have my wife betray me like this. I’m just angry, that’s all.” Gordon said.“W
“Please, pardon his excesses. He’s not in his right mind.” Christine said. How Gordon left was very disrespectful to Seth and the other elderly persons in the room and Christine felt ashamed for it.“It’s alright. The boy’s in disarray. I wouldn’t blame him.” Seth said.“But still, that’s no excuse for the unkind words he pronounced.” Christine said with her head bowed in shame.“It’s alright, Christine. I’ll talk to him later.” Oliver said.“I still think we should pay Penelope a visit. That seems like the rational thing to do. We shouldn’t depend solely on Dr. Bennett. We need answers and we need them fast. If we spread out, we would reach a rational conclusion in no time.” Seth said.“Even at that. I still don’t feel it’s right to. This is just another of Penelope’s tricks. I disdain anything that has to do with her.” Oliver said.“So what would you have me do? What if this child turns out to be your grandchild?” Seth said.“Whoever the child really belongs to doesn’t concern me at
“What do you mean? Watch your mouth or I’ll rip your tongue off.” Oliver thundered.“Oopsie... Did I strike a nerve? But it’s the truth, besides, I have no reason to lie to you.” Penelope said.“So why did you tell Amanda that you would expose her escapades with Harry? And who does the child belong to?” Seth said.“That’s too much questions. Bring me Jordan and I’ll answer them.” Penelope said.“Is that so? Just forget about it, you’ve confirmed that Harry is nor real, so the child must belong to Gordon and that’s great.” Seth said.“You know that I have other ways to make you bring Jordan to me right? Those ones are a bit extreme and it may be too hard. I’ve been nice for too long, maybe I should just use the alternative but it may be a bit too extreme. Anyways, it all depends you.” Penelope said.“Just stop this, okay? Stop. The moment Jordan sets his foot here, you’ll be done for. Is that what you want?” Oliver said.“Oh stop this. You don’t care about me, you’re just acting like
“Gabriel? Gabriel! Gabriel please open your eyes… Please, please, please… Just open your eyes, I beg you.” Seth said as he shook him gently but he was not responding.He tried over and over again but there was no response. He knelt down and gave him CPR, there still was no response. It was raining at the moment and so, he rushed outside and let some raindrops fall into his palms he rushed back to sprinkle it on Gabriel’s face but there still was no response. He tried all he could to make Gabriel open his eyes but it wasn’t working.Seth was so stressed and overwhelmed at the moment. Lots of calamities all happening at the same time. First, it was Penelope trying to use Amanda to kill Jordan, the second Gordon wanting a divorce without knowing that Amanda may be crazy, third, Minx is unconscious, he can’t even take Penelope’s word for it, and Minx may be dead. And now, Gabriel is unconscious with something strange buried inside of him.Seth didn’t know when tears started falling from h
“Oh no!” Daisy gasped as Seth ran off like that. She was incapable of turning on days when there’s no full moon. Seth could turn whenever he pleased because he was the alpha. She feared that something bad could happen to Seth seeing how he fled in rage. It was not her plan to upset him to that point, she just wanted him to reach a point and then calm down like always but it didn’t work.“Where’s Seth? Dr. Bennett said that Minx is starting to bleed again. It’s pretty serious and nothing that he has been doing seems to be working. He believes there’s a force behind it.” Oliver said.Daisy didn’t say a word, she didn’t even turn to face Oliver who was speaking to her. She just stared blankly at the space thinking about what Seth could be doing and where he could possibly be at the moment.“Daisy? Daisy? Are you there? Is everything alright?” Oliver said as he waved his hand at her face. She blinked her eyes and cleared her throat abruptly like someone who was long lost in her thoughts w
