Declan leaned back in shock. Over the past few months, there had been a lot of shocking revelations in his life that were more than enough to handle.
"Where is she?" Declan asked, still gathering words to suppress his shock.
"You know her, Declan. You have worked with her", Ferdinand replied.
He thought of women that he had worked with. No one struck him as someone that would be his mother.
"It is Abigail", Ferdinand finally blurted out amidst heavy breaths. The news hit Declan like a ton of bricks. He could not believe his ears.
The woman had cared for him in the past and loved him like her own son, but he never had any idea that she could ever be his mother.

"The nerve of him to think that he can show up from nowhere and put Raymond behind bars", Daniel muttered under his breath as he paced about the living room. Patricia looked at him with so much disgust as she tried to pacify the crying child that did not seem to stop. Over the weeks, Damian had been having a series of tooth growth that had resulted in fever episodes. Patricia had complained to Daniel about it endlessly, but it seemed as though the only person on his mind was himself. She thought he was selfish, and now, he wanted her to just sit and listen to him rant endlessly. It annoyed her. "I am going to make him pay. He will pay", he continued ignoring the cries of his child. Patricia did not know if she had married a monster in human flesh. Even the cries of a baby could not quench his thirst for a taste of Damian's blood. "And you", he began turning to Patricia. "Where is your sister?" He asked her. "I don't know", she replied almost immediately, already scared tha

Declan listened attentively. He could hear the voice of someone in the background, but it was more of a ruffle.
