CHAPTER TWENTY-ONETwenty made payments immediately after Larry was done, and then he walked out of the building with the two ladies walking behind him as though they had been compelled to.“This way please, I will take you to get your purchase.” One of the guards in white suits said to Twenty with a smile on his face, and they left together with Twenty following right behind him.As soon as they started to walk out of the hall, the bodyguards Twenty came with followed him immediately, making sure that they weren’t keeping a far distance away from him. They continued walking until they got outside the building.“This way, please.” The man in a white suit said to Twenty, pointing to the back of the building, and they continued walking with Twenty looking all over the place. It seemed like he was the only person who had left the building apart from Larry as the rest of the guests were still in the hall exchanging pleasantries, and having all sorts of discussions.“Here it is.” The Chevr

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO“Great! I knew I could count on you!” Larry said with a cheerful smile on his face, and then he nodded his head as well.“I would love to see you in my club, I will be having a party there by the weekend, Friday night precisely. You should come; we have a lot of things to talk about.” Larry continued, and then he turned to his left and signaled to his bodyguard in a black suit who quickly walked up to him, and stood very close to him.Larry whispered some words to him, and then he pulled out a card from his jacket which he handed over to Twenty.“There you have it, that’s the VIP card to my club. All you need to do is to show this to my men, and they will let you through.” Larry said as soon as his bodyguard handed over the card to Twenty who took it and glanced through it for a while.“I will be there,” Twenty said with a slight nod, and Larry chuckled in satisfaction.“Good, I will see you around then,” Larry said with his smile intact, as he extended his right ha

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREEHe got in at once, and James went into the driver’s seat after he had taken the car key from one of the bodyguards standing close by.James drove the car out of the premises, and through the long avenue of the Villa, until he arrived on the road, and in less than thirty minutes, they were able to beat the traffic and arrive at the hospital.Twenty stepped down as soon as the car came to a stop, and rushed into the hospital, not minding the fact that he was exhausted, and felt very sticky.“Hi.” He waved at the nurses at the reception, and as soon as they recognized him, they exchanged glances at each other and smiled instantly.“Oh, Hello, Sir. You are back!” Said the one by the right, while her colleague continued to stare at Twenty with a smile on her face.“Yes, I am back. My son?”“Oh, he is still at the ward.”“Ok. And his mother? The women who were here with me, where are they?”“They left sir. Not long after you were gone.”“Oh,” Twenty mumbled with a look

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOURHe stayed with his son for almost an hour, before he decided to leave to go get some rest, hoping to come back the next day before he was going to be discharged.Slowly, he got up from his knees, while he was still looking at his son who remained still while his heart continued to beat gradually.“I will be back tomorrow, son.” He whispered to him and then planted a kiss on his forehead before he adjusted his clothes and walked out of the ward. He headed straight to the Doctor’s office and tapped on the door.“Please come in.” The Doctor said from inside his office, Twenty opened the door and walked in at once.“Ah, Mr. Twenty. I hope everything is alright!?” The Doctor lifted his head from the desk and stared at Twenty who was approaching the door.“Everything is fine, Doctor. I just wanted to ask for a favor.” Twenty walked up to the desk and stood in front of the Doctor.“Please, have a seat. Tell me what you need.” The Doctor pointed to the chair in front of Tw

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE“I think she wants to take your son away from you. She mentioned that you were incapable of being his father and that she didn't think you were ever going to be a worthy father to your son. Her mother also thinks that is the only way of getting you out of their lives. They think you are a curse.”Twenty huffed. There were a lot of things he wanted to say, but he didn’t know where to begin. He looked at the Doctor for a few seconds, and then he leaned backward on his seat, blinking severally while his smile left instantly.“Unbelievable! I never knew Sarah could be so conniving and manipulative. What the hell have I gotten myself into?”“I am really sorry, Mr. Twenty. But I only told you this because it’s the right thing to do. I have two daughters, and I don’t know what would happen to me if any of them were to be taken away from me. I don’t think I would be able to live with the pain. I know how this feels, but I need you to calm down.”Twenty looked at the Doctor

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX“Thank you so much, Doctor.”“Well, I really hope I am doing the right thing.” The Doctor responded as soon as Twenty stood up to give him a handshake.“I assure you, you are doing the right thing. I promise you won’t regret this.” Twenty shook hands with the Doctor and left his office with a smile on his face.“Sarah would never give up, I wonder what else she is planning apart from this. Who knows how she intends to keep Sean without me knowing?” Twenty continued to harbor the thoughts in his mind until he got out of the hospital. The nurses were so busy attending to patients that they barely noticed him.He got into the car at once and sighed heavily, while James glanced at him through the rearview mirror.“I am so sorry for taking a lot of time, James.”“Oh, that’s okay, Young Master. It was relaxing sitting for a while, I had been standing for several hours.”“Right. Let’s go home.” Twenty pulled out the seatbelt by his right, strapped it on, and then buckled i

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVENHe went to the dining hall after making use of the Elevator, then he sat on a sea at the end of the table and looked at the things the chefs had set.He was still staring at the food on the table when Victor walked in with Rose following behind her with her eyes savoring the entire place as if she was trying to be careful not to get shot at.“Oh, Rose! You are here. Please, come.” Twenty gestured to her with his right hand, pinging to the chair by his right.“Please, have a seat.” He said with a calm tone while maintaining a smile on his face.Rose hesitated for a while, but Victor urged her to with his eyes, and she reluctantly went to the seat, and sat down slowly, then she adjusted the black gown she was given to wear.“Thank you, Victor,” Twenty said to Victor who nodded and then walked away slowly.Twenty turned his face to Rose who looked away at once, as she didn’t want Twenty to know that she had been stealing glances at him.With a smile on his face, Twen

“Who said those words to you?”Twenty stared at Rose with a confused expression, wondering who could have made her go through so much pain that she was now afraid of a simple promise. He had seen several girls at the auction, and from the condition of some of them, he could tell that they had been through terrible experiences, but Rose seemed to be carrying something heavier than he had imagined.Rose lowered her face, rubbing her fingers together as she struggled to find the right words to say. She looked at the food in front of her and then at Twenty, but each time she tried to speak, the words refused to come out.“It’s okay, Rose. You don’t have to be afraid of me. I just want to understand what happened to you.”She shook her head slowly.“You won’t understand.”“Why wouldn’t I understand? You haven’t even told me anything yet.”“Because you are not like me,” she replied quietly, her voice barely audible.Twenty leaned backward on his chair and studied her face for a few seconds

Twenty woke up earlier than usual the following morning, but unlike other days when he would take his time getting ready, he was already out of bed before the alarm on his phone went off. He had barely slept for a few hours because his mind kept returning to the conversation he had with the Doctor the previous night, and each time he remembered Sarah’s plan, he found himself wondering how far she was willing to go just to keep his son away from him.He sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed his face slowly before reaching for his phone. There were no missed calls from the hospital, which was a relief, but he knew better than to assume that everything was fine simply because nobody had contacted him.He had to be there before Sarah and her mother arrived.Twenty stood up, walked into the bathroom, and took a quick shower. After dressing in a black shirt and dark trousers, he picked up his phone and called Victor.“Good morning, Young Master,” Victor answered almost immediately.“Good mo

Sarah stood beside her mother outside the doctor’s office, her arms folded across her chest as she waited for him to return. She had expected the man to be more cooperative after everything she had done for him, but his hesitation was beginning to irritate her.“What is taking him so long?” she asked impatiently.Her mother glanced toward the closed door. “Perhaps he is still speaking with Twenty. I told you that bringing him here would complicate things.”Sarah turned sharply. “And what exactly do you expect me to do? Walk away and allow that man to keep my son? I have sacrificed enough already, and I will not let him use the child to hold power over me.”“Keep your voice down,” her mother warned. “We have come too far to ruin everything because you cannot control your temper.”Sarah pressed her lips together, forcing herself to calm down. Her mother was right about one thing. They could not afford to make a mistake, not when Twenty was already suspicious of them.She had spent the p
