"I am not married to you yet. I can't be a single mother, and the world cannot know about the fact that I had a child out of wedlock. My entire family will be angry with me if they find out about this. Are you saying I should hide here without my family's knowledge and give birth to this child?" Abigail asked."No. That's not what I am saying. I will find a way to convince my Father. If he finds out that you're pregnant with my child, I'm sure he'll finally agree for Kelsa and I to get divorced. You can become my wife afterwards and have this child openly without any criticism from the public." Darryl coaxed, trying to make her reason with him. "So, until you're divorced, I have to keep hiding here. Is that it?" Abigail questioned."Come on, Abigail. This is a very big mansion. The biggest in this country. You can live here for years without anyone even knowing about it. Besides, I'm not saying that I'll be hiding you here forever." Darryl paused slightly and continued."I'll find a
Kelsa thought to herself in an instant. 'Could it be that one of Miss Abigail's male friends got intimate with me on that fateful night? That should be it. One of them must be responsible for this pregnancy.'"Bestie, are you okay?" Darryl asked after not getting any response from Kelsa. Pulling Kelsa from her thoughts."Sure, I'm... I'm fine. Congratulations. You will become a father soon. I'm really happy for the both of you." Kelsa said to Darryl with a small smile."Thank you!" Darryl said with much guilt.Kelsa left the office shortly after in a daze. Even though she was not happy about being pregnant, she still wanted to find a way to keep it from Darryl. So that, she could get to keep her child. Darryl is not a saint after all. No man would want the world to know that his wife got pregnant for another man, while she was still leaving under his roof.As the lord of the underground world, he would easily sniff the life out of the little one, even before he or she could be born
They used a handkerchief soaked with chloroform to cover Kelsa's nose. Right after breathing in the chloroform, she lost consciousness. When Kelsa woke up, she was in an underground basement. The place looked extremely shabby and had a foul smell. After her blurred vision got cleared a little bit, she saw a familiar face. This was the same face she met the last time she went to the City Hospital. Doctor Philip Brown was standing right before her. She regretfully realized that all of this was carefully planned out by Abigail. She didn't even have the energy to fight her way out of this place. Because, it was heavily guarded by people she didn't even know. "What are you doing Abigail? I thought we are friends now. I thought you said you wanted to help me. Have you forgotten about the fact that I'm pregnant?" Kelsa asked dejectedly. "You and who are friends? Do I look like a stupid person to you? Help you, a dog? In your dreams! I'm helping myself." Abigail said with gritted teeth
Darryl looked at her, wanting to hug her. But something deep inside him kept stopping him. "Thanks. I would like to change first." He replied and walked into his room. After what seemed like forever, he finally came to the dining hall. Immediately he unveiled the content of the bowl, he felt like puking. "What is this?" Darryl asked with so much disgust in his voice. "Why? Don't you like what I prepared for you? I took my time to prepare all this for you, only for you to look at it with so much hatred." Abigail began to cry. "Come on. I only asked a simple question. Why are you acting up all of a sudden? Fine, I'm sorry. Why are you crying anyway? I'll eat it. It's okay!" Darryl tried to persuade her. He took a bite of the meal he had been served with. Immediately he tasted it, he spat out the food in his mouth into his handkerchief. It was close to poison. He couldn't believe what was before him."I'm sorry Abigail, I can't eat this. Didn't Kelsa prepare dinner before traveli
"Aww! Why are you cursing at me? Am I the one who ordered for the child's head? That was not me. It was your own 'Bestie'. If you want to curse at, or kill someone, you should kill him. Not me. Right?" Abigail teased."Yes. You both will die a miserable death. In fact, you both deserve each other. A vicious woman for a cruel man. You are a match made in heaven." Kelsa cursed at Abigail with the little strength she had left.If she could, she would have slapped her instantly.Kelsa began to develop hatred for Darryl. She could not believe she had been married to such a vicious monster for close to a year.Kelsa had been filled with thoughts of Darryl from the very first day she set foot into this debauched basement.All she had in the basement was herself, the four walls of the basement, Doctor Brown, the ceiling and the cold floor.Therefore, Kelsa spent all her energy thinking of Darryl. There was not a single day that went by without her reminiscing about the little quality time th
"I'm a Doctor. My job is mostly to save lives. I don't take lives. Therefore, after doing this, as a doctor, I feel guilty. I have one request to make. Please allow me to be the one to bury this innocent girl. That way, I can at least atone for my sins a little. I would be able to have peace of mind. Please!" Doctor Philip Brown pleaded. "Our orders was to take her away and dispose off her body. If we fail to carry out the order, our heads will be on a platter." One of the bodyguards protested."Please!" Doctor Brown continued to persuade them. "I will make sure no one finds out, I promise. I just want to be able to bury her properly. Trust me, you can examine her. She is dead. I did it myself. I'm a Doctor, so I injected her with a poison."After saying that, he pointed to the part of Kelsa's body which had been impaled. Furthermore, he showed them the empty syringe in his palm. In other to be sure that Kelsa was really dead, they both kicked her lifeless body brutally. An eighte
Upon seeing Darryl, she said to him, "Baby, you are here! It was so painful. It still hurts.""Now that the baby is here, you would not have to feel the pain any longer." Darryl replied without even batting an eye at her.His gaze never left the little boy."Okay, let me go to the doctor's office and get the birth certificate signed. I will be back shortly. Mavis, take care of them for me." Darryl said and walked out of the ward.After a short while, Darryl returned with the birth certificate in his hand.They got discharged after about 30 minutes later.Darryl took the mother and son duo into the room he had prepared beforehand, after they got to the mansion. It was decorated in a lovely manner. After entering the room, Darryl said to Abigail, "From now on, you'll stay in this room with the child.""Now that the baby has arrived, we have to start with the planning of our wedding. I have to inform my parents about it." Abigail said to Darryl with expectations in her eyes. "I'm stil
Mrs Davis looked at Kelsa and said to her venomously. "If you know what's good for you, run out of this mansion and never return. I don't care where you live, as long as you leave my family and I alone. You can stay under a bridge, be on the street, sleep in front of people's houses or anywhere, suit yourself. But, the next time I see you close to the Davis mansion, you will regret it. Mark my words!" Kelsa was taken aback by her mother's threat. She held her cheek and glanced at Emily with tearful eyes as she said, "You are my elder sister. Even though you do not treat me right, I have always loved you. Please help me out. Plead with Mum on my behalf. I beg of you. I don't know what I have done to her. Elder sister, please. For once, be a sister to me. Please!" Kelsa tagged at the helm of her elder sister's garment. Slap! Emily slapped Kelsa across the face and Kelsa could immediately feel a metallic taste in her mouth.Emily kicked her a few times, causing her to fall on the co
"You would have to find that out for yourself." Emily answered and left. 'Could it be him?' Lily said to herself, thinking it was her secret admirer who always gifted her a parcel on her birthday. She quickly dressed up in a fashionable style and exited the room. After discerning the staircase, Lily realized there were a lot of guests at the living hall. For a second, she forgot it was her birthday as she had no recollection of any birthday celebration plans. Sporting her, Emily quickly walked towards her little sister and held her hand affectionately, "you are finally here, come! You have visitors". She said as she blinked her eyes innocently. Mrs Davis joined her children in the living hall after entertaining the visitors. "Lily, Mrs Bethel wants to see you. Come, let's go to her." Emily drag her sister along without waiting for her response. A middle age man dressed in all white from top to bottom with a white walking stick was sitting at the left corner of the living r
"Were you able to track it?" Lily asked as soon as the call was connected. "No, Miss. Negative." The voice on the other end of the line reported. "What? I thought you have been on guard since 8:00 p.m." Lily signed with disappointment. "Yes Miss, but I didn't see anything. To tell you the truth, there hasn't been any van using this road today. The only car that bypassed me was a taxi. I'm sure the car was already in your area." The person said with all certainty. 'The gift arrived during daytime, but how is this possible? How could someone deliver a parcel and still remain unseen when he has stayed alert for 24 hours? That's impossible.' Lily thought to herself. "I'm sure this has to be negligence on your part." She finally said after drawing a conclusion. "Believe me miss, I didn't move an inch from here. Do not forget, I'm getting paid for this job. There's no way I'll do a shady work and expect to get paid." The person on the other end of the line said with conviction.
"Just do as you are told and stop asking questions." Darryl looked at Alexander with disatisfaction. "Okay boss," Alexander said and left the office in surprise.##########United States, New York City - New York."Miss the package has arrived successfully" Sheryl reported."Good. We are left with a few hours till dawn. Make sure it is delivered without any clues." Kelsa ordered."Okay Miss," Sheryl said.As they were busy discussing, a little girl run into the office."Mummy, mummy, mummy! Uncle Curtis said we will be going very soon. Is that true?" The little girl asked with an Innocent expression full of expectations on her face. Kelsa lifted the little girl into her embrace and placed her gently on her lap. After that, she caressed the little girls face gently and said, "Uncle Curtis was just teasing you. We are going nowhere." The little girl poked Kelsa as she said, "He also said you will say that." Feeling trapped, Kelsa changed her words, "Daisie, we will be going, but no
Sheryl could sense the anguish in her boss's words. She took Kelsa's hands in hers and offered solace, "Miss, I give you my word. We will not stop until he is found, no matter what it takes. The search team is exhausting all efforts, leaving no stone unturned. Do not lose hope, Miss."Following a short pause, she stated, "Miss, I have already prepared the package. Should I send it?"Kelsa composed herself upon hearing the news that the package was ready. "Please send it on my behalf. I have a patient to attend to."##########Kasland City."Consume it, swallow it before I lose my patience with you!" Abigail shouted, fuming with anger."Abigail, you must control your temper. Dillon is still a baby and can only eat so much. He's full, see how bloated his belly is." Mrs Duke cautioned her daughter."He must finish the entire bowl, since it took you time to prepare it. It's his fault Darryl does not want me to go to the Shaw mansion anymore. Thus, he is not fit to get his way. Swallow!" Ab
"Which contract are you referring to? Ah, yes, I must have overlooked it. This is what we'll do, I've already arranged a meeting with their manager. Let's see how it turns out after the meeting. Don't worry, I'll give you feedback once it's over," Old Master Shaw replied after recollecting."Daddy, please do everything in your power to secure this contract for me," Darryl requested.After finalizing the details, the father and son ended the call.Darryl took another sip of his drink, content with himself as he remarked, "Who says drinks aren't food? If they aren't, then what category do they fall under? Drugs?"##########United States, New York City - New York."Miss Davis, I just got off the phone with Mr. Alexander Fox, personal assistant to Mr. Shaw of Shaw Corporations. He...""I've told you countless times to stop addressing me by that name. Get used to calling me Johnson. It's my surname now as I've legally changed it. I want to avoid any mishaps when we return to Kasland City."
Out of rage, she said, "Okay! I've heard you." She hung up immediately after saying those words.Darryl placed his mobile phone on his desk and thought to herself. 'You are not dead to me. Kelsa is alive and will return to me within 2 years. My Bestie can not die just like that. No, she can not do this to me!'He tried his very best to convince himself that she was still alive. At the very least, that was the only hope he had.It was the only driving force that kept him going for these past two and a half years. ***Later in the day, after Darryl had closed from the office, he went to the Shaw mansion and entered Kelsa's room.He had been staying in this room for over two years now, ever since Abigail moved out of the mansion. He always wanted to be at places that Kelsa frequented, so that he would have some kind of closure. After laying on the bed for a while, he got up and took his shower. After that, he entered the kitchen. Mavis hastened to the kitchen immediately she noticed
"I want you to go to the old residence and pick up Dillion. I believe he needs to spend more time with his mother." Darryl cut to the chase at once.He did not even reply to Abigail's sarcasm."Okay. I'll go for him and then, we both will come back to the mansion." Abigail said with a sweet tone, full of expectations. "No need for that. I asked you to go for him because I want you to take him to your place. So the two of you can have enough bonding time together." Darryl said upfront.He wanted his son to spend more time with his mother. But, he didn't want to see Abigail's face. He had a feeling that Kelsa left him because of Abigail's pregnancy.Therefore, Darryl believed that the further away he was from Abigail, the better it would be for him, if he wanted Kelsa to return to him. He had a lot on his mind right now. Entertaining Abigail was not one of them. "But, I..." Darryl hung up the phone call immediately. He didn't even allow Abigail to finish her statement, as he didn't
After a brief pause, he continued, "The money is not the problem. But, I do not want people to know that I am sick and in search of a cure desperately." Daryl said while reviewing some files on his decks.What he couldn't say out loud was that, he did not want Kelsa to find out from wherever she may be that he was sick. He didn't want to appear weak before her. He wanted to make sure he could cure himself before Kelsa returned from her 'trip'.He was still holding on to that belief, she had traveled."Okay Boss, be rest assured I will get it done before time," Alexander said in response."That will be all for now. "Darryl dismissed his assistant.Alexander Fox was at a loss for words when he left his boss's office. He could not figure out what was running through his boss's mind. Nevertheless, he knew that was not what he should be concerned about.His utmost priority at the moment was to figure out a way to solve the problem at hand within three days. Without further ado, he called
She paused for a while and continued. "Don't worry about him not seeing you today. After the funeral ceremony, we will find a way to get you into Shaw Corporations. You can work there and gradually build a friendship and hopefully, a relationship with him." "But Mum, no matter what it is, I'm the manager of Davis Group. Why do I still have to work under someone?" Emily asked dejectedly."You silly girl. What do you know? You are not just going to work for any random company. Shaw Corporations is one of the best companies in this country. Plus, you are not going to work for any mediocre boss. This is the Young Master of the Shaws. Don't also forget that you have a secret mission, which is to become the young mistress of the Shaw family." Mrs Samantha Davis educated her daughter with much enthusiasm."All you have to do is to try and find a breakthrough with him. Your managerial position will still be waiting for you here. Anytime you wish to, you can just come back." Mrs Davis painstak
