Diana thought about what her dad just said.
Is it really because Osmond found out that Henry cheated on Chantal that’s why he would have a motive to take revenge?
Although Chantal was the apple of their eye, is it really enough reason for him to cause the accident?
She would believe it more if they would say that the reason he’d be wanting to kill Henry is that he entrusted their assets to the wrong person. Perhaps Osmond believed that Henry would really keep it safe and return it to the Winchester family later on. What he didn’t account for, was for Henry to not only pay child support but to actually hide from them, refusing to give the assets back.
At this point, even Henry’s addiction to casinos was already revealed.
Perhaps Osmond feared that if he didn’t act now, the assets would really be gone.
With regards to Osmond’s death, they speculated
The sound of the baby’s cry stirred Chantal from her daze. She looked at the crib where Wyatt was and wondered when she would feel the so-called mother’s love. She thought it would just immediately come out as soon as she birthed the child. She thought that the moment she would see her son, she would fall head over heels for him. Her mom told her that her love for her son would grow as days go by as she gets to know him. But why is it that even now, she doesn't feel that so-called warmth whenever she looks at him. All she saw is a small body who does nothing but drink milk, cry, sleep, poop and pee. Perhaps it’s because he reminds her of Henry. His facial features are so similar to him. He’s like a mini version of Henry. But instead of good memories, she would remember the times he cheated on her, the video he was in, the death of her dad. It’s all the more reason why she can’t look at the child with loving eyes.
Cassandra couldn’t read her niece’s thoughts. She was not as close with Chantal as she was with Diana. Chantal was exactly the perfect mix of Osmond and Vanessa. This would be her first time offering such advice to Chantal as in the past, the latter would just run off to do other things with her friends or that she would rarely communicate with them who were in Maconia. She felt bad for Wyatt when she heard Chantal’s words. ‘What exactly did she want to do?’ “Aunt, I think..for the sake of my sanity, I need a fresh start.” “I know you do. You and Wyatt would be okay. You can start afresh together.” Chantal shook her head again. “No, Aunt. I have to leave by myself. I can’t take Wyatt with me.” “What do you mean? Where are you going?” “Somewhere. I haven’t picked a place yet. But I will leave without hi
If it were another time, Vergil would have opposed Cassandra’s plan to adopt Wyatt. But now that he and his wife Regina were still confined in the hospital and there would still be a lot to do in the company at the moment, they wouldn’t be able to provide care for the child. Also, they’re both already in old age and it would be rather difficult to raise a baby on behalf of his parents. When Chantal and Diana were still children, they didn’t interfere much on how Osmond and Vanessa raise them. But of course, since knowing that Chantal was the one who is the real child of both parents, they have given her more attention. Only half of the attention was given to Diana. With Vanessa staying overseas to recuperate and Osmond forever gone, Chantal’s main support was not there for her at the moment. As grandparents who doted on this grandchild, they could only hope to ease her burden. They know she’s feeling lost with her father and husband gone. Although she and Henr
Saturday evening, the Lovell family gathered for dinner at the mansion. “Child, when do you and Diana plan to marry?” Lillian looked at the couple pointedly. There has been too much bad news on TV recently that she wanted to hear something to look forward to for a change. The young woman looked down shyly, her cheeks blushed red. She casted a glance at the handsome man beside her who was holding her hand under the table. “Grandma, I’m always ready to marry her. But she has a point. She has just started her medical program.” He pinched the young woman’s hand affectionately. “Hmph. The school is not going anywhere. You’re not getting any younger, child. How will you run around with your kids if you already have old bones?!” The old lady pouted childishly. She understood that times have changed and women these days value their careers just like men do.
That same evening, the aunt and niece were in serious conversation in Vergil’s office in the Winchester’s mansion. It has been a few days since the time Cassandra told her of her idea to adopt Wyatt instead of getting guardianship. She didn’t want her niece to make a hasty decision so once she told her, she left to give her a few days to think it over. During that time, Chantal would stop by at the nursery room to watch Wyatt as she mull things over. Her frustration was that he wouldn’t react much when she’s near. It’s as if he doesn’t recognize her as his mother. But when it comes to their maids, Wyatt would give a reaction as soon as they approach. She would even attempt to sing a lullaby once she heard him cry but he wouldn’t even be pacified by it. She even speculated that he could have been switched at birth, thinking back on what happened when she was born. It was because Diana was switched with an unknown ba
Sunday evening, phones beeping one by one as they received notification of email. Every one of them opened their mailbox to read it. ‘.....hang out with friends? Sure.’ “Sure! I’m game! When?” Cora replied instantly. Not long after, the others expressed their interest as well. To Cora, Koby and the others from her class, she told them that she’ll invite her friends at work as well as some family members. To Kate and the others from the Institute, she told them that she’ll invite her friends from Henhall University as well as Lucas’s brothers and cousins. “Oh! Cool! We’ll get to finally meet them. Can’t wait. So when is it going to be? Why don’t we create a group chat then, so you don’t have to reply to us one by one? Hehe” Cora could imagine Diana sending emails separately. “Right.. Hahaha.. I’ll make one now.” Diana created a group chat for them
His message appeared on the group chat. “Next Saturday at The Waterfront Well.” Meanwhile on the other group chat, Rowena asked them if they could meet up for brunch. She also wondered if they could have the whole day free just in case they would go somewhere afterwards. Rowena was more than pleased that Diana’s friends were easy to make plans with. They would go for it as long as they had enough time to plan their schedule in case it would coincide with work. What she didn’t expect was for her brother’s friends to also be so accommodating. Truth be told, this would be her first time hanging out with people she doesn't see at social gatherings of the wealthy. The same goes for her brother and his friends. Of course, this was until Lucas met Diana. They didn’t have any preconceived ideas towards others not in their social circle though. There just
“I agree. Although Lucas asked us to watch over her, she seems to have adapted well in her class. Anyway, now that her identity was revealed, who would dare try to harm her?” Remus Forrest has seen Diana on the campus many times. “Hmm.. Only the ignorants would dare do so.” Marcus Forrest chuckled. “I bet cousins Lillian and Ernest are proud to have such an addition to their family.” There was a trace of envy in Marcus’s voice as he said those words. If they were to have such a granddaughter in their own family, he would be over the moon as well. Instead, they have Meraud Pascow as his son’s wife and Elys as a granddaughter, although not by blood. His son, Remus Forrest, has been married before with Sienna Elliot. An accident happened and Sienna died. A few years later, he married Meraud Pascow who already had a daughter from her previous boyfriend who didn’t take responsibility. Remus, Sienn
Lillian, Ernest and the rest arrived at the airport and were quickly assisted through the process. They were able to leave the airport and head to their residence easily. Adrian looked around and saw that everything seemed strange in his eyes. Nothing was familiar to him. It was when they were finally close to the mansion when he recognized the structure. He had dreamt of this place so many times. It had become hazy at some point. But now, he could see that this was more or less the place he lived in before he was taken. It had some new additions along with other changes such as the paint and the landscape design. But the overall structure was the same. As they entered the gates, he saw that there were a lot of people outside of the house. They were lined up even in this cold weather. Most of them seemed to be wearing uniforms under their black coats. The only ones who looked different than the others were the three couples and two young men. “Ah.. Everyone’s here.” Emma smiled
Adrian and Violet were apprehensive when they saw the big plane that they were going to ride on.Fortunately for them, they were flying through the private plane of the Lovell family, else, they would be even more embarrassed by the way they were acting.To their memory, this was their first time being on any plane.That simply was not true for Adrian, as the family had gone on vacations before that needed the plane. It’s just that this memory may have been forgotten by Adrian already.As for Violet, this was her first ever flight.They at least knew what a plane was.They were only anxious as to how they would feel once they’re already up in the air.Lillian and the rest tried to distract them from these thoughts.Hugh and Leroy offered them some wine and snacks.Emma and Priscilla showed them the movies they could watch on the screen in front of their seat.Lillian especially made sure they felt warm and comfortable, giving them blankets and pillows, showing them how to recline thei
“Yes, Dad. Alright–Mn..Goodnight.” Lucas said to Hugh on the phone.Hugh had called him to let him know that they would be heading back in the morning with Adrian and his friend, Violet.Hugh and Leroy’s secretaries have received updates regarding a background check on Violet’s family.They’ve decided to let Violet stay with the Lovell family as a guest.In the residence, there’s usually only the elders living with their staff. Usually, it would be busier during holidays and if there are any special occasions. In those times, everyone would gather in the residence and stay in their rooms reserved for them.Lillian and Ernest have held out hope that Adrian would return to them so they never thought of letting anybody else use it.Lillian would personally clean it and it was only in the later years that she let her staff help her.She wanted to preserve whatever remaining scent Adrian had left.There were times when she would burst out in tears, realizing that she could no longer recall
Soon, the driver, John Garcia, pulled up outside of the hotel where Lillian and the rest were staying.Adrian was no longer as anxious as he was half an hour ago, still he could still remember the bullets trying to penetrate through the car and the explosion after those goons’ cars had collided.Detective Jones glanced at him, noticing how pale Adrian was.Still, he commended him for not breaking down and not getting in their way.And also, because of him, they were able to rescue so many people who have been missing for years.Perhaps the Mayor might even think of rewarding Adrian because of his contribution.At the moment though, it was inappropriate to bring it up, given what the man had just experienced.So after escorting them to the hotel, Detective Jones left them, joining the other Officers with the rescued people.It was a field day for the reporters, gathering outside the police department.On the televisions of most households, they showed several people with their heads lo
As John Garcia was driving the car forward, everyone in the car held their breaths.They already knew that those people were Mortimer’s men. They could only play along for now, hoping for them to think that Adrian was in the other cars.But then–that possibility is very low.The black car they’re in was far from ordinary upon close inspection.And like clockwork, shots rang.Adrian ducked, covering his head with his arms.John Garcia gripped the steering wheel while Howard Dawson and Detective Jones cocked their guns.A voice of one of the policemen came on the comms. “Keep going. Follow the second group!”No matter what, they couldn’t let Adrian and the people who had just been rescued be in Mortimer’s hands again.John Garcia didn’t hesitate and quickly sped on.Mortimer’s men have picked the road where there’s only farm crops on each side, the road only leading one way.The city was still quite far so blending in or hiding in some alleyway would still be impossible.For now, they s
The drive was calm, with John Garcia, the driver not making any stops if he could help it.The car could drive even without gas as it can run on solar power.It could be recharged at a charging station, could store gas and could be powered through solar. This is all thanks to the upgrades done by the Lovell Technologies.With the drive being calm, Adrian fell to sleep.Even Detective Jones dozed off as well, his head hitting the window a couple of times.An hour into the drive, the car suddenly beeped in alarm.Adrian and Detective Jones groaned, having been woken up by the alarm.“What is it? What’s happening?” Detective Jones asked.“There seems to be an accident up ahead.” John Garcia answered, pointing at the GPS shown on the screen in front of him.“Is there another road we can take?” The bodyguard, Hoyt Cole asked.“This is the only road back to Westbury..” John Garcia answered.“Maybe the road is not totally blocked–” Detective Jones said.“Alright then–we’ll keep going..”“Sta
After canvassing the full layout of the building and accounting the number of people inside, Detective Jones and the other Officers made their strategic plan.An hour later, they made their move.Adrian was made to stay in the car while he viewed their perspective from the tablet device.He was given eyes for different cameras. Two more Officers were also monitoring it from their tablet devices.They compared every person found to the sketches from Adrian’s description of the people held captive. And also of the ones Adrian said were the people who ordered them around.Adrian watched as the trained Officers infiltrated the area covertly.CCTV cameras were hacked and made to play the same view over and over again.They knocked out the guards with tranquilizers, making sure they wouldn’t be waking up so soon.They were separated into groups. One made way to the sleeping quarters of the captives, another entered the main building, and another surrounded all possible exits.There were onl
Adrian held her hand, squeezing it.At that moment, Hugh returned to the room and was startled by the silence.“What happened?” He asked. His eyes wandered to Violet who now had her head lowered, her hand covering her eyes and her shoulders shaking.‘Is she crying?’ His brows furrowed.“Violet just remembered what happened that time when she was taken away.” Emma summarized it for him.He nodded. “By the way–I’ve just received information just now. Violet–it has something to do with you. If this is not a good time, I won’t say it.”She looked up, quickly wiping her tears with the cloth napkin.“No, please, I want to hear it.”Hugh nodded.“What is it, Hugh?” Emma asked.“It’s about her family.”They all glanced at Violet, gauging her reaction.“I remember–my mother died that time.” She said.Hugh nodded, confirming what she had remembered.Her heart fell. Deep inside, she was hoping that she was wrong. That she remembered it wrongly.Tears continued to fall down her cheeks. The napkin
Knock. Knock.“I’ll go get it..” Emma said.She opened the door and saw her younger brother, Adrian.“Ah.. Adrian.. What is it?”Adrian was startled.He stepped back to check if he knocked on the correct room or not.“You have something you need from Violet?” She smiled.His brows shot up. “Oh. Um–I was going to bring her to the dining room.”“Ah.. I see. Well, just in time. We’re done here as well.” Emma smiled. She turned her head and called over. “Come on you two..”“Okay!” Priscilla said. “Let’s go Violet..”Priscilla brought Violet over.Adrian was struck for a moment when he saw Violet.He had never seen her so dolled up.Her hair was beautiful and so is her overall look. Her face was even more beautiful than usual.Violet’s head hung as her cheeks blushed bright red.Adrian cleared his throat.“Let’s go..” Adrian tilted his head.“Mn.” Violet nodded.
