"Ms Mirenda...." the security man yelled Mirenda's gaze fell on the truck which was coming towards her briefly before her eyes were blinded by the truck's light. Her hands flew to cover her face as she screamed her lungs out. Unable to move from her spot. She was expecting to feel her body take a hit but she rather felt a gust of wind as she fell to the ground on her side. She could still hear the sound of the truck as it drove past and the last honking of the truck. "Ms Mirenda, are you okay?" came the security man's voice who was crossing the street over to her side. Mirenda lay on the ground for a while trying to recover from the incident. She could hear a lot of voices around her and someone screaming her name but one statement travelled to her ears. "On no, she is bleeding," came a female voice. "Someone call 911," came another female voice. Mirenda tried to get up and was quickly assisted by the security man who was standing above her. She was fine and not bleeding. A lit
Same time in another hospital run by Dr Andesh, she had received the straw used by Jason in sipping his drink. She picked Jason's saliva from the straw and used it to run a DNA test to confirm if he is indeed the missing boy from twenty-four years ago. She did what she needed to do and was now waiting for the results. She put in everything to have the results ready within twenty-four hours. Back in the hospital where Fiona was on admission, Mirenda had returned to her ward downcast. She sat by Fiona's bed watching her sleeping face. Mrs Haward after scolding the guard for giving her unnecessary panic now decides to look for her daughter whom she thought she saw a while ago but has now vanished into thin air. "Excuse me, excuse me, I am here for Mirenda. I know she is not a patient but I was hoping.." Mrs Haward began but the receptionist who overheard her conversation with the guard cuts in already feeling sorry for Mirenda for having such a person as a mother. "She is not a patie
"He is a Wellington," Dr Andesh whispered with a smile. She quickly picked up her phone and dialled Mr Wellington's number with the results in hand as she stared at it smiling. "He is a Wellington," Dr Andesh announced as soon as the call connected. "Jason Haward is your son," she added. "After so many years, I finally found my son. I wish I had followed things concerning him earlier. I would have noticed the striking resemblance," said Mr Wellington on the other end of the call. "Technically, he found you. Your son is a man of integrity. I did a quick background check on him. I am yet to meet a man like him," Dr Andesh said. "Tell me, what did you find about him?" asked Mr Wellington. "Sir, I take it you don't follow the news?" Dr Andesh enquired. "Dr Andesh, I do have people doing that for me. I don't need to," Mr Wellington replied. "Well, this is what I found out. He became the new heir of the Haward family replacing his step-father, Mr Johan Haward........."Dr Andesh
In ten minutes as mentioned, she turned on the TV and the first thing she read was. 'Breaking News; Paradise Hotel CEO found. Jason Haward, the man who scammed the Haward family' Mrs Haward laughed hysterically upon seeing the news on TV. At Paradise Hotel, Jason who ended up spending the night at the hotel was awakened by one of the staff. "Sir, we have reporters in front of the hotel," the staff announced. "Reporters?" Jason asked checking the hotel CCT camera outside and he frowned seeing the number of reporters at the entrance. "How long have they been there?" Jason said turning on the TV. "Half an hour, sir," the staff replied. Jason frowned seeing the news on the TV. "Thank you," Jason said dismissing the staff and he went back into the room to fetch his phone. Peter arrived at the hotel and was surprised to see the swarm of reporters in front of the hotel. He was quickly surrounded by reporters the moment he got out of the car wondering what was going on. "Did yo
"I said Fiona is pregnant and I know it's for you," Mirenda repeated and James turned white as a sheet behind the wheel. "How did you know?" James asked. "I am with her right now," replied Mirenda. "Are you telling me this in front of her?" questioned James with traces of anger in his voice. "No, I am not with her right now. She is in one of the wards," Mirenda replied. "In a ward, as in a hospital ward?" James asked moving his car from the main road to a safe parking place. "Yes," replied Mirenda. "So it was you that night?" she asked. "What did she expect? She was playing hard to get," James said casually. "Well, you have fathered a child so get ready to take responsibility," Mirenda said to him as she entered the cafeteria. "That is not my thing but help me meet up with her. No one must know about it," James requested. "And why should I help you? What happened to 'asking Mum for help?" Mirenda enquired. "Because I am your brother and you wouldn't want to see me in trouble
"I am pregnant," Fiona said and James stopped in his tracks. James looked around ensuring it was just the two of them and no one else was around. He quickly turned around and holding Fiona's hand dragged her into the apartment. "Stop it, James, you are hurting me," Fiona screamed. "Quiet," James said to her in a stern voice. "Let go of me else I will scream," Fiona threatened. "Scream, like someone will come here and rescue you. Do you know exactly where you are?" James asked opening one of the rooms and throwing her onto the bed. Fiona, who had fallen onto the bed got up and sat on the bed moving away from James who was advancing towards her. "Get away from me," Fiona said sounding terrified. "So this is all it takes to make you lose all your boldness," James said placing one foot on the bed and leaning on it. Fiona pushed further back not realizing she had hit the edge of the bed making her fall over. "Careful there, you don't want to give that bastard inside you a head
"Just like that?" asked Jason making Dr Andesh wonder what he meant by his question. "Yes, your father has searched many years for you and he never gave up hope of finding you," Dr Andesh explained. "The search was a bit difficult when we tried to be discrete about it. You never came to mind even though you have a striking resemblance to Mr Wellington," she added. Jason stared at her in silence with an expressionless look. There was enough distance between them and hence Jason did not have much of a problem with her presence. "We always thought you were Mr Haward's biological son. The day I found out you weren't, you went out of the country," Dr Andesh explained further. "But tell me, what made you come to look for me?" she asked curiously. Jason remained silent as he thought about her question. He was not ready to disclose that to her. "Let's save that for another day. I don't believe you came all the way here to just talk," Jason said. "You are right. You requested an audience
"Hmm," Peter replied and raised his head to meet Julia's gaze. "O shit!" he thought as he looked at her staring back at him with mixed emotions. "You also work here?" Julia asked a bit surprised. "Wait, Jason is here too? Where is Jason?" she asked. Peter opened and closed his mouth and all that came out was 'Errm". "Sir, please you are needed upstairs," informed the receptionist who was placing the receiver back in its place. "Errm, Ms Julia, I have to see my boss right now. I will call you and we can talk," Peter said feeling guilty. Julia stood there saying nothing and watched Peter enter the elevator. She realized she didn't even know anything about who owned the Hotel. She knew Peter's loyalty to Jason and the fact that he would not leave his side. "This could only mean one thing, either Jason works here too or he owns this place," Julia whispered on her lips and turned her gaze to the elevator which was already moving upstairs. She looked at the numbers reading at the
