last update Last Updated: 2024-08-31 19:21:29

At the hospital, Fiona didn't want anyone to suspect anything so she requested to be discharged. Her health was okay. The doctor only wanted to keep her there to ensure everything was fine as she went through nine full months of pregnancy without medical attention. Again, her pregnancy was a hidden one. The paperwork was done and Fiona was discharged early hours of the morning. Vera dropped her off at Southwest Ranches City.

“Vera, I appreciate what you are doing for me. I will figure things out and I will come for her," Fiona said leaning on the window of the closed car door while Vera remained behind the wheel.

“What are you going to name her?" Vera asked looking at the baby sleeping peacefully in a small nest strapped to the back seat of the car.

“Lily," Fiona replied after a careful thought.

“You are naming her after your late mother. Nice one," Vera commented. "Wait, how am I supposed to feed her? I have nothing here," she said pointing to her chest with her chin as she moved her

    Aside from the beeping sounds from the monitors, the room lingers with silence. James's eyes narrowed and he repeated his question his voice shimmering with anger."What do you want here?" he almost yelled causing the officer at the door to open the door into the ward to find out what was happening. "Is this man bothering you?" the officer asked."No, I am fine," Fiona replied and James rolled his eyes.He was the one handcuffed to a bed and the officer was asking Fiona if she was okay. The officer exited the room after throwing James a warning look, closing the door behind him."We need to talk, James. It is very important," Fiona said resting her hands on the hospital bed footboard."What do you want? Am I not where you want me to be? So what do you want from me?" James questioned angrily."Can I ask you a question?" Fiona asked calmly, not at all bothered by James' unwelcome attitude. James had bruises on his face and a plaster on his nose bridge but it didn't take away his hands

    "How long have you been standing there?" Fiona asked moving away from her bed towards the table."I don't see how that is relevant to my question. What are you up to Fiona?" Vera retorted."What! Are you spying on me now?" Fiona snapped back."Watch your tone girl. You piss me off, and I will return your baby to you in a second," Vera warned and Fiona calmed herself immediately."I am sorry, dear friend. A lot is happening around me, and it's all driving me crazy. I wasn't expecting that child, but she is here. What am I going to do with it? And now Mirenda has tasked me with some research work. I couldn't say no to her. She is my boss after all. I just tasked someone to research for me. I just wanted it submitted earlier so I could go through it before submission day but it sure looks like the person would only have it ready the same day I am supposed to submit it," Fiona said, and dropped herself on the couch with a sad expression looking like she was at the verge of tears.Vera sig

    After Julia reported the strange caller to Jason, he quickly tasked one of his best men to look into it. He was feeding the baby while Julia slept when his phone buzzed with the findings of the stranger caller. Jane Wellington was the name in the report. The report had details of her being held hostage at Benjamin Taga's dungeon accompanied by images and another image of her with Mr Wellington. Jason remembered the name of the lady Mr Wellington had told him was his mother and he quickly followed it up with the news of her death and even visited her grave with him. What bothers Jason is the fact that Mr Wellington didn't tell him his mother was still alive when he found her. He started packing their stuff. He had multiple questions on his mind that needed answers. First, why did his father hide that from him and secondly why was his mother contacting Julia?"Son, I am sorry for not letting you know your mother was still alive," Mr Wellington said and drew closer to Jason, and also sa

    In the living room, Jason sat at the end of a three-one sofa. His mother sat directly opposite him and Mr Wellington sat in the middle of the two knowing Jason's issues with women. He was sure, he would react the same way around Jane whom he was meeting for the first time."Is it okay to have a moment with my son?" Jane asked calmly. "Alone," she added."No can't do," Mr Wellington rejected the request immediately."It's okay, Dad," Jason said calmly, assuring Mr Wellington he would be fine."Can we use your office?" Jane put another request across making Mr Wellington frown."Jane, don't push it," Mr Wellington snapped."It's fine, Dad," Jason accepted making Jane smile inwardly.Mr Wellington had no choice, but to allow Jason and his mother to use his office. He was worried about how Jason would feel around Jane, and again, he was wondering why Jane wanted to speak with Jason alone.Inside Mr Wellington's office, Jason sat behind Mr Wellington's desk and offered the seat in front of

    The door to the office was pushed open, and Jane exited. From her face and mood, Mr Wellington could tell, she had cried a lot. Jason was next to exit the office. His left hand was inside his pocket and his face carried no expression. It was difficult to tell how the conversation went reading both of their reactions."I will be heading home," Jason said to Mr Wellington, who nodded in response."I will walk you to the door," Mr Wellington offered and Jason nodded.The two walked to the door leaving Jane in the living room. Before Jason exited the apartment, Mr Wellington decided to apologize to him."I was wrong to have kept the news of your mother being alive from you. Forgive me. I was hurt by what she did, and I believe I acted selfishly with my decision," Mr Wellington apologised."I don't judge, Dad. I believe you had a good reason why you kept it from me. I was not happy with the prank calls she was giving my wife. I must say, I was shocked to find out she was alive and I never

Henry went to the hospital after dropping off Mirenda at Haward's International.At South Ranches, Fiona had just finished dressing up and was about to leave for work when her phone buzzed with a call. She checked the caller ID and it was unknown. She answered it anyway and brought the phone to her ears."Hello?" she said sounding like a question rather than a greeting."This is Black. Confirmed. Jason's mother is alive. I will send you her location address," he said."Thank you," Fiona appreciated.Once the call ended she received a text message. It had the address of Jane Wellington's location. She knew she needed to find a way to get that information to James, but she couldn't risk taking a trip to the prison again. She put her phone back into the bag and left for Haward's International.At Jason's apartment, Jason was fully dressed and getting ready to leave for Wellington's company. He kissed J

    After Fiona left, Mirenda sat in the office wondering what was happening to Fiona. She had seen Fiona on TV a couple of times and she was a live bubbling person. She remembered her from the press conference where Mrs Haward humiliated her. It was like a light inside her was turned off. Mirenda recalled how Fiona left the place completely shamed. Her mind shifted to when Fiona saved her from being run over by a vehicle. She was not this off. There was still some life inside her. She also recalled the setup meeting with James."Was James accusing her of drugs the last blow that broke the camel's back?" Mirenda thought but immediately remembered Fiona was pregnant."It's been close to a year since she lost her baby. O gee, James made her lose the baby. That means she has not been able to get over it," Mirenda thought."Stupid me. How did I miss that?" Mirenda said to herself and grabbed her phone.She dialled Fiona's number and waited for it to connect.Outside on the street, inside a ri

    At the station, Mr Wellington, Dr Andesh, Henry, Mirenda and Jason decided to leave. The General walked them to the exit before returning to his office."Wait, does it mean you faked your health condition?" Jason asked still surprised by how Mr Wellington was walking around like nothing happened."Well, Dr Andesh here was able to identify the chemical and prepared an antidote with the help of a friend," Mr Wellington said."Jane did drugged me and seeing this needle mark, I knew she injected me with the chemical. It was not going to kill me, but I will be lying in bed like I am in a coma," he explained."How did she come by such chemicals?" Jason asked as they walked towards their cars flanked by some bodyguards."Jane has a basic knowledge of pharmaceuticals, but her friend Maria has more than basic knowledge in that field," Mr Wellington explained."Does this scene remind you of anything?" Mirenda asked Jason as they stood by their parked cars."Yeah, when we came to get you out of

    At the hospital, James pleaded with the officers to allow him to see how his baby was doing. Seeing the honest look in his eyes, they agreed, but one officer went with him. James went to the unit where Lily was kept under close monitoring but she was not there. He started panicking as he scanned the whole room frantically. "No, she was here last night. Let me ask the doctor. Maybe they moved her to the nursery," James said and the officer stared at him wondering if this was just a trick to get away, but before he could say anything to James who looked very worried a doctor walked to the scene."Doctor, how is Lily?" James asked looking very anxious, and the officer stood there looking on."Mr Haward, I am sorry. It appeared the baby was given an overdose. We did our best, but we lost her," he announced and James dropped to the floor on his knees.The room suddenly felt heavy for him and his heart broke into many pieces. The first day he set his eyes on the child who looked so much li

    "No, that is impossible. I checked all the accounts before I changed the ownership with the letter your husband signed," Maria said. ”It was from one of the accounts I paid the six partners from Haward’s International to council their contract and sign a new one with the Wellington company. I will be sending the prepared partnership contract to them today,” she added."Well, see for yourself," Jane said turning her laptop to face Maria.Maria flipped through the accounts displayed on the laptop and they were all empty. She picked up the phone and after looking through a file she dialled the finance department extension."Come to my office now," Maria yelled on the call."Ma'am, please where is your office?" came the finance manager's voice."Don't ask me stupid questions. Come to the CEO's office," Maria yelled."Forgive me ma'am, but which of the CEO's office, Mr Wellington’s or Mr Jason’s?" he asked and Maria was livid."Are you mocking me?" Maria questioned."No, ma'am. I just want

    "And ma'am, a strange man came here a couple of nights ago. He gave me his name as Mark Smith. He said he was here to help Ma'am Fiona get her TV channel," he added and Mirenda's eyes widened."James," Mirenda whispered. "Fiona is in trouble. James got her. I knew it," she said."No, James doesn't have Fiona. James came for Ms Julia but we got her back. I was there with Mr Haward," Henry said."But you heard what he said," Mirenda said.Henry pulled out his phone and dialled Jason's number. He waited for the call to connect while Mirenda started looking around for anything that would give them a clue about where to find Fiona. She hoped Fiona left clues for them to follow as she searched the environment. She headed for the apartment."Hello, Mr Haward. We have a situation. Ms Fiona is missing and it is possible James may have come for her," Henry said."I am with the police now. I will alert them," Jason said and the call ended.Henry turned around and Mirenda was nowhere to be found.

    Jason and Julia were attended to at the hospital. Jason had his wound leg bandaged. Julia was given a laxative to pass the ring out of her system. Jason jumped on a call the moment the nurse was done with him. Julia was in the lavatory."Yes, you couldn't find him because he changed his face. He looked different now. Same voice, same mannerism but a different face," Jason said on the call."Well, my men lost the car, but we have sent our security agents to all the airports. We are strictly checking all flights booked within the last forty-eight hours," the general informed Jason."That is good," Jason acknowledged."Is it possible to get a perfect description of his current face to share with our men?" the general asked."Yes, have someone come over to the hospital," Jason said and the call ended.Jason sent the location of the hospital to the general and dialled Peter's number next. Henry had left to pick up Mirenda."Hello Peter, what is the current update?" Jason asked."After the

    Jason dropped his gun to the floor and put up his hand in surrender. James smiled and tried to stand still with his gun aimed at Julia. He knew that was his only way of keeping Jason from attacking him. He saw just now how skilful Jason had become since he last saw him. Jason was already skilful in combat and realized he also had a perfect aim. He gunned down four men delivering a bullet into each person's skull."Now listen carefully. Kick that gun to me," James instructed and Jason did just that.James stopped the gun with his feet and quickly picked it up."Now, you are going to take a step back and keep going until I say stop," James instructed. "Keep your hands where I can see them," he added and Jason obeyed walking backwards but he kept his gaze on Julia."Good, you are doing fine," James said, briefly looking at his wounded shoulder.With the gun Jason had pushed to him, he shot the legs of the chair at the joint and broke it wounding Julia in the process. It was easy to kick

    Outside, Jason's car was parked at the shoulder of the road. With him was just two guards. He had all the guards watching the house to ensure no one attacked his son"That road to the location you mentioned looks like a dead end," Henry pointed out."It is a dead end," Jason said."How do you figure?" Henry asked."The road ends in front of a warehouse. When my stepfather was alive, he worked closely with the man who owned this warehouse. I am not entirely sure what happened to that man. We woke up one day and he was nowhere to be found. Dead or alive no one knows. He sold the company overnight. My stepfather visited the place saying he had a home inside this warehouse. He thought he could find him here but the place was empty. We checked all the rooms except for one room that was locked with a huge padlock from the outside. It was the first and last time I visited this place," Jason narrated."Wow, you rich and powerful people have hidden stories," Henry commented."Hmm," Jason said.

    "James cut this shit and let Julia go. I am the one you want. So come and let's talk," Jason said coldly."No dear brother. I think I have what I want right here," James said with a sinister smile as he stared at Julia who still looked unfazed."James," Jason called out to him.Julia kept her eyes locked on James and slowly moved her hand to her back. She removed her ring from her finger behind her back as she remained rooted to her spot with her back facing the elevator."I know what you are doing. Just stalking me so the police will get here. I will not give you that luxury," James said and ended the call.He threw the phone into the wall smashing it into pieces. In that brief moment, Julia put her wedding ring into her mouth and swallowed it. James shifted his gaze back to Julia and frowned seeing her squeeze her face."I will not make the mistakes I made in the past," James said. "Strip," he ordered with a serious expression."What?" Julia said."You heard me," James replied."I w

    "What? What are you talking about? Who is Jason's mother?" Dr Andesh asked and pressed a button under her desk."It's an interesting story, but unfortunately, your people will start coming in and I don't want too many dead people in this room," Jane said and set the gun."If you are going to kill me, at least tell me who Jason's mother is?" Dr Andesh said and Jane smiled."The nanny who took him to the park and he got kidnapped," Jane replied with a smile, and Dr Andesh raised an eyebrow wondering how but before she could ask another question hoping to buy time for someone to come in, Jane pulled the trigger.Dr Andesh fell to the ground. Jane walked over to look at her lying on the floor behind the desk."You are Mr Wellington's right-hand person. You will make trouble with everything you know if I don't clear you," Jane said and pulled the trigger putting a bullet into Dr Andesh's chest.She walked out of the room and closed the door.
