“You are what?” Jordan screeched with disbelief and denial, gawking intently at his wife. He found her statement laughable, but something was holding him back from flaring with laughter. Something he could not decipher, but it was so unnerving“You heard me loud and clear, Jordan, unless you have grown deaf over the years! Or what damn part of ‘I am pregnant’ don't you understand? It's just a three-word statement, for crying out loud!” Diana, his wife, retorted with fury, glaring at him with contempt.Jordan was still battling with the contradicting sentiments of this being true. He knew from the look of his wife that she was not joking, but he was also certain of the impossibility of what Diana was ranting about. “But, how? No! You simply can not be pregnant, Diana, and you and I can attest to that!” He spoke softly, still trying to scan for any proof of uncertainty in Diana’s eyes, who didn't even blink.At this point, Jordan was pulled out of his confusion by his mother-in-law’s r

In what felt like a dream, Jordan envisioned himself seated on the throne of the Rivers clan. It seemed to be an ancient seat crafted for an emperor. With a battalion of devotees bowing before him. He saw himself practicing martial arts, and his familiarity with the techniques was amazing. He also saw himself describing some medicines to some people with health issues. On top of that, he also felt the voice of the gods speaking to him. Guiding him and warning him. The dream was getting intense, causing his head to throb badly.When he peeled his eyes open, he was greeted by the blinding rays of the morning sun. He was unconscious the whole night. He stopped for a moment to have a recap of what he was dreaming about. If there was any connection between him and the emperor he saw in that dream. But then, his head banged with the same raw memories. Everything became so clear. There indeed was a connection between him and this mysterious family. He was the emperor he saw in the dream. In

Astonishingly, the girl that Jordan had rescued the previous night was no ordinary girl. She was from an extremely affluent family, and so finding someone was as easy as blinking an eye. After conducting an emergency search, she was able to learn of Jordan’s whereabouts. And like she had promised last night before she ran away for her safety, she came for her savior.Jordan’s facial expression was no different from that of the couple beside him as he watched the girl approach. He was in awe as he watched the girl march toward him. Her face was glowing more in broad daylight than it was in the dark. What moved him more was the fact that the girl looked for him. He didn't know she would ever find him, even if she searched for him. Hell! He did not even anticipate that she would bother looking for him. They say, Do good and go your way, and that is what he had done. He did not expect anything in return. Knowing that he rescued someone from danger was more than enough for him.But here sh

Jordan and Anna got into her gold sports car and drove to the Hilton Hotel on the outskirts of Nairobi city. It was a short distance from the judicial court where they were. She also felt the need for some privacy with the man who now meant so much to her, so she had asked the driver to join the guards in the convoy behind them, while only she and Jordan drove in her car.They pulled up in front of the voluptuous hotel after a few minutes.“Umh, Jordan, right?” She asked after turning to Jordan.“Yes. My name is Jordan.” He said.“Okay. And I am Anna De’Luka. But just call me Anna.” She said after realizing they had not introduced themselves.“Okay. Anna, it is.” Jordan said with a small grin.“Okay. You may go in first. I will just park and join you.” Anna explained.“Alright,” Jordan responded and stepped out of the car.He started his way to the entrance as he sampled the rich, unruffled aura. He had not sniffed any peace for the longest time, so this got him all intoxicated until t

Derrick’s eyes remained fixed on Jordan for a long moment, scanning the competition before him from head to toe. Anna was his prey, the girl he had taken interest in. He wanted nothing but to have her. The mere thought of another man beating him to the game was arousing his demons. He could not envisage another man having the girl he was after. And looking at the duo at the moment, with Jordan’s hair dripping wet, looking so raw from the shower, Derrick’s head throbbed with assorted sentiments. Who was the man? Why were they together? And in a room? What had they done that he needed to freshen up? Had she given herself to the man? Derrick’s anger rose, breaking the awkward lull that had been engulfing them.“Who the hell are you, if I may ask? What is your name, and what are you doing with her? What family do you come from? What do you…” “Enough, Derrick!” Anna yelled at him, cutting him off.She found his vetting unfounded and contemptuous. They were not together, and she had not
