Chapter 111: The Den

(Frederick's POV)"Those brats of yours won't stop babbling and asking questions," Anna complained immediately after she stepped into the room, her face etched with disdain and bitterness.I could not tell if she was pissed that the girls were mine or if she was pissed because they were Kendall's."Just let them be. They are kids, and you know kids always ask questions," I replied, dropping the leather bag I held to the floor and walking toward her, trying to soothe her anger."Fine!! You deal with them," she spat as she shrugged off my hand, which I placed on her shoulder. "I need a shower.""What's with the…"I stopped talking when she got into the bathroom and slammed the door behind her.After I unpacked some of the luggage, I decided to go see the girls in the room they were kept in.As I approached the door, I cautiously opened and entered the room. Immediately, the kids noticed me and began to move back in fear."Who are you and where's our mummy?" One of the girls asked her ex

Chapter 112: Suspicions

(Stephen's POV)I dropped the cup of coffee I held in my hand to the table covered in a pink satin tablecloth and picked up my phone. Swiping it open, I searched for Kendall's contact which I had sent into the archive when I wanted to block her earlierAs I was about to text her not to forget to meet me at the police station, I found out that she had called me repeatedly and sent me several messages which stated that she had been waiting for me yesterday.I hissed, though I sent her the message that she should meet there by 12p.m.About to toss the phone aside, I heard a jolting knock on the door and I went to check who was there disturbing my peace only to see a slender, fair-skinned waitress whose face was radiant glowing.My heart melted at the sight of an angel and I was going to smile at her till my inner mind scolded me right away. "If Kendall were here, would you lust after a woman?"I gulped down the dry saliva as I succumbed to my thoughts and put on a fierce look. "How may I

Chapter 113: The Discovery

(Stephen's POV)"Good morning Sir, it's good to see you." My secretary greeted me, her face beaming with a smile as she followed me to my office."How have things been here?" I asked firmly, seeing no need for any exciting reunion talk."Ehhh… fine, sir," she mumbled, straightening herself, and acting more officially."Good, call the accountant. Tell her to see me in my office now." I ordered, my voice low but firm as I picked up a brown file from my table."What are these?" I asked as I tried skimming through the documents."Oh! That's the contract for the partnership with the Italian investors. It came in two days ago.""Okay, I will attend to it. Are there any other documents that I need to go through?""No sir," she replied."That would be all. Put a call to the accountant now."A few minutes after the secretary left, the accountant walked into the office. As she entered my office, a wave of anticipation hung in the air.Sarah, the accountant who was usually composed, looked visib

Chapter 114: Revisiting the Past.

(Kendall's POV)I ambled around the room, from one corner to the next, picking up things I needed for the journey and arranging them into the traveling back.I was in the kitchen with Gab when my phone beeped with a text and I discovered it was Stephen's. He informed me about our journey that we were leaving that night and I had no idea how long it was going to last.As I folded my underwear into the bag, I was taken aback by the violent screeching sound of the door."Gab, do you…""Oh! It's you." I exclaimed, placing my hands on my chest to subside the jolting effect that remained in my heart."Good evening Stephen."Ignoring me, he walked across the room, pulled out his traveling bag, and began to arrange his clothes and the few things he needed into them. The air in the room grew thick with the piercing silence. I wanted to talk to him and apologize but I couldn't bring myself to. I feared he might shout or do more than that to me. Within a few minutes, he was done packing and he

Chapter 115: First Move

(Kendall's POV)"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. This is your captain speaking. We have successfully reached our destination and are preparing for landing..." The pilot's voice sounded through the intercom, waking me up from sleep.In a few minutes, the sound of seatbelts unfastening and passengers shuffling in their seats filled the cabin as the plane descended."Finally, we made it!" one of the passengers sitting behind us exclaimed as he stretched himself. "Yeah, I can't wait to stretch my legs and get off this plane," the lady who sat beside him replied, her face covered in a soft smile.As the plane came to a stop and taxis to the gate, the flight attendants stood by the cabin doors, ready to assist with disembarkation."Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived at our destination. Please remain seated with your seatbelts fastened until the captain turns off the seatbelt..!" One of the flight attendants let out cheerfully, her voice high-pitched.As the seatbelt sign went off, S

Chapter 116: Dead

(Frederick's POV)"We can't keep them here anymore, Frederick. We need to move them this evening since Kendall is already in the city, according to her text. This place is too exposed. We need somewhere remote. What if they come here?" Anna nagged, moving from one corner to another as she arranged the room.My response was impatient, my voice laced with frustration. "And where do you suggest, huh? Some abandoned warehouse? A basement? We can't just drag the girls through the city unnoticed."Anna growled, "I know that! But we can't keep staying here, the girls too. Their constant wailing is beginning to cause stares and attract questions from people around."Also, Kendall may be soft, but remember, a hen does anything for her chicks. We need to leave now, and we need a quick exit plan as well, just in case things get messy."I stopped for a while to think as I stared at Anna's eager face. Anna was right. We need to leave this place and also move the girls as well.Breaking up the sile

Chapter 117: The Surgery

(Stephen's POV)I rushed to Kendall, my heart pounding as I saw her crumpling to the ground with a jolt of shock and pain etched on her face. My world stopped as I dropped to my knees beside her and my hands trembling quavered. I took her into my arms, trying to assess the extent of her deep injuries."Somebody call an ambulance, please!" I screamed, my voice cracking with desperation but Jeff was out of sight. Guessed he ran after the murderers."The…the girls, Stephen," she mewled, as she writhed in pain. "Please keep them safe.""I'm sorry, Kendall. We will both keep them safe, stay with me Ken, please stay with me," I bawled, moving the strand of hair that covered her face.I so much wanted to kiss away whatever pain she felt."I'm sorry, Stephen," she struggled to utter after some minutes of silence as she clutched to her lower abdomen."Ken…""Shit!!! Ken!!!!! Don't!" I screamed, lifting her to my abdomen. "Where's the damn ambulance?"Within what felt like both an eternity and

(Stephen's POV)"The scalpel, please," the head surgeon, Surgeon Martins requested behind his mask as he stretched out his hands toward the nurse aide"Thank you."The operating room was a whirlwind of activity. The medical team was so focused and determined as they worked to save Kendall's life. Tubes, monitors, and machines surrounded her, each playing a vital role in the fight to keep her alive.I stood there, contrasting feelings of anxiety and hope coursing through my veins, as I watched the medical team tear up the area the bullet penetrated, trying to locate the bullet in her body.The doctors worked diligently, their conversations peppered with medical jargon that was beyond my understanding. But I didn't need to understand the details; all that mattered was that they were doing everything in their power to save her.As the surgery continued, my grip on her hand tightened, as if I could somehow transfer my strength and willpower to her. I focused on her face, whispering words

Chapter 119: New Plan

(Frederick's POV)Seated in the cold, sterile interrogation room alone. I gazed at nowhere with my cuffed hands placed on the center table. A policeman brought me here some minutes ago, leaving me here alone with my thoughts.How could I get myself out of here? Where was Anna too? Would I be able to go scot-free when I shot Kendall? Did she even survive it? Oh God!Different questions raced through my mind as I imagined what would happen to me now that I'd been arrested. If only I hadn't underestimated that witch and had envisaged her being wise by bringing the police along with her, I'd have gotten the money and been swimming in wealth with Anna by now.I was lost in thought and the rattling sound of keys I heard made me know that someone was at the door. I wondered who it was and what they'd do to me. Moreover, I wanted to ask someone if Kendall survived but no one answered.As the door clicked open, Stephen stormed in and slammed the door behind him, his face masked with a fury tha

Within twelve minutes, I got to the hospital and I prayed silently.I wished Kendall would be awake to get the news that our children had been found. How excited she'd be.
