Tessa's POV“Where are you going?” Finn asked, I don't even understand why he has been around me for some time now.“Today is the family lunch, surprisingly I wasn't invited but I will have to go and say hello, normally I do not need an invitation to see my family,” I smiled at the mirror as I brushed my hair.“If you weren't invited just stay and avoid that family,” Finn said and I ignored him, I wouldn't let anyone spoil my mood, “What about the divorce?”“What divorce?” I dropped the hairbrush on the table.Finn knelt in front of me and held my hands, “Leave them please, I will figure something out, you have your family wealth, and your family is still well respected in society, why not just walk away with the respect before something happens.”I pulled my hand away from Finn's hand and glared at him, “You don't have the right to tell me that, don't you think you should know your place and stick to your job? You have only two Jobs, one, in the bedroom and two, to clean up my meds,
Tycelyn's POVThe sight before me was something I wish I would never have seen, not even in my dreams. Maybe if I had screamed louder or if I had screamed earlier then this wouldn't have happened.I ran down to where the shout came from, and when I got there, everyone in my family was already there.Ziora stood frozen as there was blood on her back while Mother was on the floor holding Finn in her arms.It was Finn, I didn't know when he jumped down from that height to take a bullet for Ziora, he was smart for knowing they would shoot.“Someone call the ambulance!!” Brayon yelled as he got down on his knees to examine Finn.I tried using my phone but it wasn't connecting and so was everyone's phone at this time.“Where are the medics, security team, and safety officers!!” Doreen yelled as she pressed her emergency button.I looked around and everything was weird, no one was responding to the emergency button, the security team didn't run here despite hearing such a gunshot and I also
Ziora's POVFinding out Finn was my biological Father was nothing, Mother should have done her best to hide it but instead, she kept bringing him to the house, knowing fully well we had some similar features and I wasn't so dull not to suspect it.The day I found out, I was broken inside, I wished I could change the report, I wished I didn't have any suspicions, I wished I didn't do a DNA test.“Mr. Finn isn't my Father, Mr. Juhani is my Father,” I remember repeating those words to myself every minute since the day I found out.At first, I wanted to remove Tycelyn from my life, but then I changed my mind and wanted to remove the man I loved the most from life. I wanted to kill Father and that was the only reason I approached Finn.I wanted to save Father from whatever was to come, I wanted him to know me as his biological daughter all his life because one thing I knew was that nothing could be hidden under the sun forever.Just one job, I had asked him to do, I felt disappointed when
Tycelyn's POVKenzal had Informed me that Mason's issue was resolved and he was sent back to jail, I was about to drive home when I saw Ziora's text.I was beyond surprised when I saw Ziora's text, maybe she meant to send it to someone else. I messaged her that she had sent the message to the wrong person but she insisted it wasn't the wrong person.I was now shocked, I asked for her house address, I didn't know it because I had never been there. I didn't want to go, what if she planned to finish me off, ignored the feeling and went to her house but I also texted Kenzal about my whereabouts.“Did you find it hard to locate?” I was more than surprised to see Ziora waiting outside for me. Was she dying or something?“Please don't be nice, it's weird,” I locked my car door and she led the way inside the house.I looked around and it was a beautiful place, I bet Ziora was the owner and not Kreed, “What a beautiful place.”“Might not be mine anymore,” I didn't understand what she meant but
Tycelyn's POVTWO YEARS LATERI saw Kenzal coming from behind me, he hugged me from behind and used the blanket wrapped around himself to cover me, “We are lucky, they say snow rarely falls here but we get to experience snowdrops,” I smiled as we both watched the snow falling through the glass house.Everything was different and has become beautiful since I survived that fire, luckily Brayon got there in time before everywhere started collapsing. I saw him save Ziora first before he saved me and trust me I couldn't even be angry.“Happy new year baby,” I smiled at my world, Kenzal. It was exactly 12 midnight January 1st, 2024.I can't believe two years have already run by so fast, I haven't heard from Mother, Kreed, and Mr Finn since after the incident. Brayon had rushed us to the hospital, I felt it was my fault everything happened so I didn't tell the police anything, so investigations were done and the truth came out.Father didn't want Ziora to go to jail so he made sure she plea
Tycelyn's POVKenzal removed his hand from my wrist, I still couldn't believe what I just saw, I'm sure I must be trippin, “Kenzal, I asked what was that on your hand!”“My.. my …hand..” Kenzal hid his hand behind his back, “It's a tattoo.”“A …. a …. Tattoo? Why.. on earth would you get a tattoo of a date on your wrist? A date that hasn't passed?” I couldn't understand him. Why would he get a tattoo of September 2024 when that date doesn't hold any meaning?Kenzal's phone rang and it suddenly struck me. The other day he sang, "In Your Hands” for me and I didn't read any meaning to it because he said he heard me sing it but now I don't know what to think, “What really are you?” Kenzal was about to touch me and stepped back, “I asked what are you!” I yelled. I suddenly remembered Kenzal never wore a sleeveless shirt around me until today.“Tycelyn calm down, let me explain,” Kenzal tried to reach out to me but I shifted again.“You knew the reason I approached you, didn't you? Come t
Tycelyn's POVI stood at the edge of the wall watching Brayon and Mother speak while I was lying on the bed unconscious.I tried to touch myself but I couldn't get to the bed, I also tried to touch Brayon and Mother but I couldn't. Mother and Brayon left the room then Grandpa entered the room, gave me an injection, and said, “Go my child and I have sent you a helper that will bring happiness into your life.”************I kept having that dream ever since the day I found out about the date on Kenzal's wrist and it didn't make sense, the scene from the dream looked like the day I had an accident and the conversation was the same.I remember someone giving me an injection and saying something I couldn't remember but I don't understand why I kept seeing Grandpa.“Ma’am,” One of the directors touched me on my arm, bringing me back to reality.I looked around me, everyone was looking at me and waiting for me to give an answer. I looked at the projector and shook my head, “I'm sorry, let's
Tycelyn's POV After throwing up my empty tummy, I picked up a towel and went to the dining room. “I'm sorry,” I apologized to everyone in case it had made anyone feel disgusted or lose appetite. “You like pasta so why are you throwing up?” Daphne asked when I sat back down. “Is that what I'm thinking?” Layla asked and we all looked at her with confusion. “I will go get a strip right now,” Summer picked up Layla's car key and dashed out of the house. “Is everything okay?” I asked. “We will find out when the strip arrives,” Doreen said. I looked at Daphne and it looked like it was just the two of us that didn't understand what was going on and what strip they were talking about. We sat in silence as we looked at each other, “Got it,” I felt relief when I heard Summer's voice. Now all eyes could stop being on me. Doreen took the strip from Summer and handed it to me, “Pee on it,” she said, I was about to question her when my eyes fell on the strip. It was a pregnancy tes
Kenzal's POV I wanted to get something to drink but I couldn't get up from the bed and It was already frustrating as it was. “Kenzal, are you okay?” Tycelyn ran from the bathroom to meet me in the room. I felt pathetic, I didn't like her seeing me like this and I didn't feel confident anymore. “I just wanted to get something to drink and the chair was far from me,” I lowered my gaze as I spoke. “Dinr move, I will be right back,” Tycelyn said and hurriedly left the room. I was blessed to have a wife like her but I felt I was a burden to her. On that day three years ago, I didn't think twice before I drove in between Tycelyn and Kreed's car. All that was on my mind was that Kreed shouldn't hit Tycelyn's car, Tycelyn and our baby must survive. Even though I lost my legs, I honestly don't regret it and even if history were to repeat itself, I would still drive in between both cars. I was so happy when I woke up in the hospital and the first person I saw was Tycelyn, I was happy th
Ziora's POV “So I guess the rich money can't save them,” One of the inmates laughed out loud and the others followed behind them. Three years in this hell hole and these people have refused to drop this topic, they bring it up all over again when they are bored. “She is rich but tried to kill her sister,” I turned and used my blanket to cover my face, I didn't want to hear the nonsense they were saying. “I heard the sister who she tried to kill is the one raising her son, instead of sending him to foster care,” another said and they all laughed. That was it, I have had enough, I sat up so they would know I was wide awake, “Anything you have to say, say it to my face,” I glared. They all looked at themselves and burst into laughter, “Did we say it behind your back?” These women sure made me speechless. “Why? Do you think I'm scared of a death-roll convict? Do you think I'm scared of a woman who wanted to kill her sister and her sister's family or a woman who is responsible for h
Three years later “Babe, are you okay? What's on your mind?” Kenzal wheeled his chair to where Tycelyn was arranging gift bags for the guest. “Yes, I'm fine,” Tycelyn bent down and gave Kenzal a kiss on his cheeks, “The kids must be so excited for their birthday party.” The three children in the house, share the same birth date and were all born prematurely. “Don't you think it's time we start telling Henry about his mother?” Kenzal suggested it to Tycelyn and she turned down the idea. Tycelyn and Kenzal had managed to pull through and survive. Tycelyn had given birth to twins, a girl and a boy, Bianca and Rain while Henry, who was the same age as them, was Ziora's child. Ziora was taken to jail after her recovery, she had no one and everything was lost, even her husband Kreed died the moment he arrived at the hospital. Ziora took the fall for everything that was planned, by her, Kreed, and Kendall with hard evidence. Ziora was given the death roll sentence. “Not yet, let's go g
Tycelyn's POV“That's my husband,” I screamed as Kenzal was brought out of the burning vehicle. They managed to bring Kreed out, but as they were about to bring Kendall out, the cars exploded.I didn't have time to say anything, Immediately entered the ambulance that carried Kenzal. I checked his pulse and it was very faint. My eyes landed on that wrist and the date was there.“I will meet you at the hospital,” I nodded my head as the ambulance closed the back door.I didn't know what this meant for him but I prayed the Almighty save him for me else I would die alongside him. I told the ambulance to take us to Juhani hospital which they did. On arrival, they were rushed to the OR with further questioning as I was able to provide their details.I put my hands on my tummy as I began to feel pain, “Mrs Juhani, you are bleeding,” one of the nurses said to me.“Tycelyn, what's going on? Why are you here?” Brayon asked the moment he saw me.“I … I … Kenzal..” I began to feel weak.“I don't
Tycelyn's POVI didn't have anything to give her, even if it was the business or property, I couldn't give her anything because I didn't have the full right to them yet.Ziora stood up and slapped me across the face, “What do I want? Your eyes,” Ziora scoffed, “I have always hated your eyes, they disgusted me so much, the moment you entered my house, I noticed your eyes, they looked so much like Father and Grandfather's eyes and I hated them so much.”She was just a child then, how could a child have so much hatred in her heart? How did she notice that?“I should have gouged out your eyes that day, the day I threw that fork at you, I wish I had succeeded,” Ziora gritted, I spat at her and she hit me again.I thought it was a mistake, it happened when we were younger, Ziora was throwing a tantrum that day and she threw the fork in my direction. Rachel used her hand to cover my face immediately and the fork injured her hand.“You sly conniving shape-shifting snake, You can only hit me a
Tycelyn's POVI opened my eyes to the feeling of cold water being poured on me but everywhere was dark. I could hear voices but couldn't see the people. These people blindfolded me.I tried to move my hands and legs but they were tied. My legs were tied to the chair and my hands were tied to the back of the chair.These people are mad!! How can they tie a pregnant woman, especially one that is heavy?I was thirsty, I needed water, I wanted to ask but at the same time, I didn't want them to know that I was awake.“Sleeping beauty is awake,” I heard one of the men say. I grimaced as he untapped my mouth.“Please.. I.. need …water,” I managed to cough out since they already knew that I was awake.“She is pregnant, let me give it to her,” Another man said.“You are too softhearted for this, she won't survive anyways but give it to her to free your conscience,” One said and everyone laughed.I felt someone walk closer to me and untied my eyes. I managed to adjust my eyes to the brightest i
Tycelyn's POVI was losing my mind out of anger and fear, I was scared as today was the first of September and Kendall had overstayed her two months. She made my life a living hell and I didn't have the strength to do anything other than protect my child at all cost.I was very scared, tomorrow was the date written on my wrist, I didn't know what to expect, I was lost and Kenzal had been trying to cheer us up, I was scared for my child.Kenzal had already seen through Kendall but he wanted her to politely leave the house on her own but she hadn't, she was supposed to stay two months but that wretched woman has been here till now.“You look worried,” Kenzal handed me a glass of juice and I drank it.“Why wouldn't I be? Anything might happen tomorrow, we might just disappear or something,” I emptied the glass and dropped it on the table.“Let's be positive,” Kenzal said and I smiled, “Let's do our best to stay indoors tomorrow.”I nodded my head, I was too tired to speak, I looked at my
Tycelyn's POVKendall had overstayed her welcome, she had overstayed her two months and it wasn't easy with her. She was trying to drive me crazy in my own house.I finished having my night bath for the second time after that mad woman almost poured hot oil on my body, I managed to escape and some got on her.I was about to talk to Kenzal when I heard a knock on our door and Kenzal stood up to answer. I knew it wasn't any of the workers, it had to be that Demon in my life.Kenzal opened the door and it was really that Demon, she was standing there with a short silk nightgown. I rolled my eyes and felt disgusted at her.“I was trying to rub this ointment on the place the hot oil touched but my hand couldn't get to this,” she rested her body on the door and began playing with the tube in her hand, “I was thinking if you could help me.”I scoffed the moment I heard that, what a lunatic, “Tycelyn, please come help her rub it,” Kenzal called and I smiled. He hasn't let her have her way sin
Tycelyn's POVI ran and engulfed Kenzal in a tight hug when he opened the door, “I see you are having a little get-together,” I jumped on Kenzal and wrapped my legs around his waist and my hands tightened around his neck, “Hey ladies,” he greeted.“Hey brother-in-law,” Layla greeted with a head nod.“Hey brother,” both Daphne and Summer greeted.“Kendall, Fancy seeing you here,” Layla greeted.I came down from Kenzal and arranged myself, “Hello,” I greeted her and immediately felt insecure.Kendall was a beautiful woman, she had short black hair, and she was tall and slim while I on the other hand was chubby because I was pregnant and I recently changed my hair color to cherry red.“I see you still hang around Kenzal despite him being married,” Kendall mocked and I instantly disliked her. First, she ignored my greetings and now she is mocking my sister.“Why are you disrespecting my sister-in-law in my house?” I folded my hand across my chest.“And you are?” Summer scoffed when Kendal
