A loud gasp followed on the table , except Ryan who's face had been expressionless all along , Sloan stamped her foot on the floor angrily as she found her way to the stairs “ Hailey make a bath ” she ordered as she took quick steps , the slithery content dripping on the floor each step she took .“ Don't you just stand there , fix that mess ” she shouted at Chef Mona who vanished into the kitchen while Rodney called the house Doctor .“ My wife and I will take our leave now ” Ryan said as he held Violet's hand taking her by surprise .“ I am sorry for the display of things , we can always have another dinner as a family ” Mr Brookes apologized to Ryan Reynolds his gaze not leaving their lock hands .He was jealous and wondered why he was jealous, she was his daughter to the public or fake daughter, why was he feeling this tingling sensation towards her “ we would be pleased to honour your invitation ” Ryan said dismissively though in a polite manner one could tell he meant othe
Next morning The racking and clanking of the plates awoke the sleeping Bessie , she yawned lazily as she lies back on the bed when she heard the one voice she never wants to hear for life. If only wishes were horses then that was one of her many wishes . “ Cinderella Bessie ” Sloan called sarcastically bringing Bessie out of her dream world “ ummm ..... Good morning ma'am ” Bessie stuttered“ oh ! There is nothing good about this morning ” Sloan snorted as she looked at Bessie in disdain “ You ruined my dinner you little wretched maid ” Sloan snapped “ I am sorry ma'am ” Bessie apologized “ No you would tell me why you chose to ruin my happy moments ” Sloan said adamantly“ I didn't mean to ma'am , I don't know what came over me ” Bessie apologized “ i would rather keep my mouth shut than spew rubbish because you have a lot of explaining to do ” Sloan rasped as she threw a test result at Bessie who didn't pick up the paper quickly “ pick it up ” Sloan said coldly as sh
“ Rodney ? ” Sloan asked again , it seemed she was hearing double or her ears were no longer functioning again . “ Rodney, my son ? ” she asked to be sure of what she just heard “ No ! ” she exclaimed “ Rodney would never sleep with a slutty maid like you ” she added “ But he did ” She answered.“ Not my Rodney , you must be joking ” Sloan rants , she quickly left the maid quarters after instructing the ladies to follow her “ Rodney McMullen ! ” Sloan yelled “ Rodney McMullen ! ” she yelled louder than the first “ Yes Mom ” he answered with a sleepy face on , he yawned as he stretched his hands and look down from the spiral stairs “ come down this minute ” Sloan said in an authoritative voice “ Is there any problem Mom ? ” Rodney asked from the stairs “ Young man you had better come downstairs ” she snapped angrily as Rodney walked down the stairs lazily“ Repeat what you said earlier ” Sloan said to Bessie “ Rodney is the man responsible for my pregnancy ” Bessie said
Ryan read the content of the text over and over again as he frowned his face . What was the person trying to play out , why did he set the location at such a distance . His instinct tells him not to go but the hunch to know how is parents died was high so he decided to go and see this person. He picked his blazer , grabbed a coat Incase it might be cold while he returned and a bottle of water from the refrigerator to keep him hydrated. He walked into the elevator on the top floor and punched the button slightly as he sighed softly , he was no doubt in a hurry to meet the supposed writer of the letter . In no time , he strode out of the elevator at the last floor , Rico sat on a couch where the visitors and business clients sat when they arrived . However he sat there at all times because of his Boss . He was nicknamed king of the client's couch because of the manner in which he sat . “ Can I have my keys ? ” he asked interrupting Rico who was lost in the game he was playing “
“ Asa ” Ryan called utmost disappointment written on his face as it dropped into a frown . He did not want to believe her to be the writer of that letter sent to him and he came all the way to the lake just to see her , hell no ! He yelled in his mind as he stood up from the cabin he sat on and picked the paper napkin which he placed before sitting . “ Ryan do not leave ” Asa said on sighting him stand “ And why should I not leave ? ” Ryan asked as he was pissed already , her presence alone irritated him , her voice which he was hearing sounds so displeasing to his ears . “ I have never been here before , I got a letter ” she said immediately“ A letter to come here ” “ To come and do what ? ” Ryan asked rather impatient “ To come and listen to the secret of who killed your parents if I truly loved you ” Asa said softly as she blinked her eyes seductively “ Are you seriously playing some games with me ? ” Ryan asked as he stared at her coldly “ No Ryan I am not telling a li
“ what a beautiful meeting ” A voice interrupted the tensed moment between the ex lovers , he was the last person Ryan expected .“ Long time no see nephew ” Lugard greeted letting out a smile .Ryan wore a frown and displeasure was written all over his face which he did not mask at all . “ What are you doing here ? ” Ryan asked Lugard coldly “ Is that the manner you chose to say hello to an Uncle you have not seen in ages ” Lugard asked sarcastically while Asa only swallowed as she grabbed her Red designer bag .“ I can see you truly love Ryan , such a sad thing he is married now ” Lugard threw an indirect taunt at Asa who never uttered a reply .“ You want to know how and what killed your parents , your curiosity I must commend is out of this world ” Lugard said smiling like a puppy who got a fair share of meat after a long walk . “ You are the one behind the letter ” Ryan said coldly“ Yes if you please ” Lugard replied as he let out a short smile once more “ Why did you not
Ryan walked swiftly to the car , his hand covered with blood which dribbled down his suit , he retrieves the paper towel in which he placed on the cabin earlier from his pocket and wiped his hand thoroughly before dumping it on the floor. He opens the door, ignited the engine and drove off without sparing Asa a glance . He drove on a high speed groaning in pain , he removed a lot of paper napkins from the dashboard of his car and placed them on the spot with his left hand while he drove with the right hand . He knew Lugard would come after his wife whether he joined the clan or not , he was going to try his possible best to protect her from every possible means of danger even if it meant giving up his life for hers . **** Violet walked around the apartment Mr Brookes had given as a congratulatory gift when she won the elect of the HK groups contract . It was beautiful and had every a latest standard had . It was painted in an all white colour while the doors were made of glass
“Ryan” Violet called in a loud voice as she trembled while Ryan closed his eyelids blood dripping on the red tiled marble floor .Violet heart beats so fast like a party drum in a disco house, she swiftly dipped her hands into his pocket and picked up his cellphone but the phone was locked and she didn't know how to reach out to Rico . She picks her phone and call Jones instead . “ Hello Ma'am ” he said over the phone “ Hurry now to my home quick ” Violet said quickly on the phone with a shaky breath.“ I'll be there in a jiffy ma ” Jones replied sensing the urgency in her voice . She never sounds this way something could he going on , she might be in danger , Jones thought as he board a bike to his Mistress home . Within thirty minutes , Jones arrived at Ryan's Mansion , Violet bent over her husband applying pressure where he bled with paper towels . She would called the ambulance but Ryan was a discreet man he wouldn't want the entire public and press know about his health
