Alan woke up quite early as he sat up on the bed, he glanced at Ashley’s sleeping figure, replaying all that transpired between both of them and how he left her to go and sleep.Pushing the strands of hair that had fallen over her face behind her ear, he murmured an apology before heading to the bathroom.“Good morning” Alan greeted Ashley as he walked into the room with a tray of food.“Good morning” She greeted back.“I brought breakfast for us” He informed placing the tray on the center table beside the couch.“Carry on, I am not hungry” She responded and walked into the bathroom.“You are not eating?” Ashley asked as she walked back into the room all dressed up.“I won't eat without you” Alan reminded her.“Ohh really? Last night you slept off without me. How about that?” She asked him, folding her arms together.“Baby, I am sorry. I let things escalate between us, I should have handled it properly” He stood up walking close to her.“Alan, can't you see what she is trying to do? c

Drake had flown into New York a few days ago for business, Alan sent his driver to the airport to pick him up and take him to his hotel.Now, all the family were seated over dinner chatting happily and totally forgetting the obstacle among them.“Ohh dear, it's been so many years since I last saw you” Ashley’s mom smiled, patting his cheek.“Yes Aunty, I was just little when we left. How have you been?” He smiled, asking.“I am fine my child, thank you so much for looking after Ashley when she was in Los Angeles” She smiled, thanking him.“Aunty, it's nothing. She is like a sister to me” Drake said, feeling shy for being in the spotlight.Even Alan’s mom thanked him immensely for taking care of Ashley, after dinner, Ashley walked to the balcony with Drake.“I saw a new face and a little boy that looks like Alan. Who are they?” He asked, trying to quench his curiosity.Sighing “That’s Bryer; Alan’s ex-girlfriend and the little boy is his alleged son,” Ashley said.“How are you coping w

Alan ran out of his office as he dialed Sean’s number.“Sean, something has happened to Ashley, we need to track her,” He said, running to his car.“Alan, calm down. Where are you?” He asked, getting his car keys.“I am about to leave the office, she said she was going to get the cake. We need to hurry up” He replied and ended the call.They were on their way when an unknown number called saying that Ashley and the driver had been rushed to the hospital so they headed there.“My wife was rushed here a while ago, please where is the ward?” Alan asked, trying to comport himself.“The pregnant lady and the other man?” She asked.“Yes” “This way Sir” The nurse led him to the top floor.When Alan got there, they were already in the theater so he had to make all the necessary payments and wait outside. In a while everyone was already there “Mom, I am scared” Alan cried as his mother hugged him.“She will be fine,” She assured him.Drea sat with Ashley’s mom trying to console her, her quiet

Alan was looking after Ashley when he got a call, he stepped outside to answer it to not disturb Ashley who was sleeping.“Look after her, the nurse will be here shortly for her injection” He instructed the bodyguards as he stepped out.Returning, he found out that they weren't in their post, rushing into the ward room he saw Ashley grasping for her life. He immediately called for an emergency and she was rushed into the theatre.“What's going on?” Sean asked as he rushed towards Alan.“I don't know, I went to answer a call and I asked the bodyguards to look after her. I came back to meet their absence and Ashley fighting for her life” He spoke hurriedly, frustration written on his face.The theatre door opened as the doctor walked out “Is everything okay?” Alan asked panicking while the doctor bent his head slightly.“Speak to me, what’s going on with my wife?” Alan yelled, pissed at the doctor's silence while Sean patted his back.“Your wife is in a very complicated state and for h

Alan left the room and headed to his study, pouring himself a glass of whisky he downed it at a go.The words Ashley said to him taunted him greatly, he was also hurt. At first, he didn't want the child but he had come to love him and now they lost their baby. His biggest fear was Ashley leaving him and he hoped it would never get to that extent, so he drank a few more glasses hoping they would take the pain he was feeling away.Groaning, Alan woke up with a sore back. He slept on the couch of his study, which was expected.“I should head to the gym” He mumbled, finding his way to the gym.Ashley woke up a little bit late, she had cried herself to sleep. Losing a child before you could even see him was very painful.“I shouldn't have spoken to him like that” She mumbled, recollecting all the words she used on him. She felt bad knowing that ever since she came here Alan has been very loving and caring to her.“I should stop mourning and put my household in order,” She said with renewe

“He is not your son,” Ashley declared, looking surprised.“That boy is a splitting image of you,” She added.“I am speechless, if she knows that this child isn't mine why did she return after all these years?” Alan asked, still staring at the paper.“To separate us, I feel she has a hand in what happened to me and if this is the truth then it means that we let her have her way,” Ashley said looking perplexed.“This is something we need to figure out as soon as possible,” He said.“How do you feel about this result?” Ashley asked, holding his gaze.“We were beginning to bond, I mean you loved him too. I feel betrayed but what do we do?” He asked.“Let's adopt him, maybe just maybe Bryer isn't his mother too” Ashley skimmed through her hair reclining on the sofa.“This is a lot, we need to investigate the truth,” Alan said.“How?” “Rex will do the job, he is my private informant and investigator” Alan explained to Ashley.The next day, Rex came to the mansion. Alan, Ashley, and Sean we

Alan, Ashley, Sean, and Rex sat in his study while Alan glanced at Rex with an expectant look, Sean glared at him while Ashley was left to grapple with the somewhat tense atmosphere in the space.“Are we going to sit here in silence forever?” She asked, rolling her eyes and breaking the silence.“I was able to plant the chip in her phone” He broke the storm while the rest exhaled.“How were you able to achieve that?” Alan asked.“Sorry to say this but I can't believe you dated that loose girl” He paused and studied Alan who was wiping an invisible sweat off his face.“Well, I attempted to spike her drink but she wasn't up for a drink, so I had sex with her to achieve my mission” He explained.“Gross” Sean commented with a disgusted face while Rex eyed him.“Gross, you should have gotten the job done” Rex mimicked, glaring at him.“Hope you protected yourself? She sleeps with a lot of men,” Alan asked“I did,” He nodded.“Good, so any information from the phone yet?” Ashley asked.“I h

“What does this mean?” Alan asked, a frown etched on his face."Exactly what it means, boss, it is evident that Bryer is employed by someone who desires your wife," Rex stated, averting his eyes from Ashley."But from the looks of things, she is now working against the man because this person clearly does not want to harm her, but rather wants her," Rex concluded.“I am trying to understand what this means. Someone wants me, for what reason?” She flared her hands, perplexed."We do not know yet; we need to find that person," Rex stated."Alan, say something." Ashley glanced at him; he had been quiet since the revelation."I am at a loss for words, and I am also confused. Someone wants you, but we have no idea why." He expressed his frustration by pinching his nose."What do you think we should do next?" Sean asked Rex."I will try to track the number, and I will closely monitor Bryer. We might get to the end of this soon” Rex suggested.“We don't have much time, please immediately” A
