73. I- married a single dad
Before Manchester could knock on Valerie's door, the nanny already opened it, not because she had seen him before now, but because she wanted to throw something in the trash."Good evening, sir," she greeted him with a smile."Hi, how are you?" Manchester asked, reciprocating the energy,"Hope Nelson, wasn't much trouble today?" He asked immediately, without even letting her respond to his first question.The nanny shook her head,"No, not at all."After this brief discussion, Manchester walks into the living room, and the sight before him is so heartwarming that he wishes to take a picture of it. But that would be very awkward to do.He didn't know how, but Valerie had figured out Nelson's favourite cartoon channel, and he was seated on her lap, engrossed in the art, while Valerie fed him.Manchester's mind flashed back to when Mel would do this, and he walked in on them with a beaming smile."Hi," he muttered, like a stranger who walked into a place where he wasn't invited."Manches
72. I- am rich
"Morris Hemsworth," Manchester uttered, flashing his ID before the lady at the counter. "Is she on seat?" "I'm sorry sir," the lady replied, "Her shift is not until 2pm today, is there any problem?" "I'm on a case, and I need to speak with her as soon as possible, do you know where she lives?" Before Manchester could finish speaking, the lady answered. "We don't give out staff information, sir. I'm afraid you'd have to speak with our officials. I'm not authorised to do that, or I'll get in trouble." Manchester sighed, "That's okay, I need to speak with them now if you don't mind... no... I need to speak with them now, it's important." The lady was taken aback by Manchester's sudden shift in demeanour, almost as if he paused to reset himself before speaking up again. "I will put our sitting manager on call now." Manchester waited impatiently, but within a few minutes, he was directed to the manager's office. Just like the chief had told him, Manchester went straig
71. I- don't need to wait for her shift.
"..." Silence stretched on for a few minutes, the doctor staring at the both of them as though they had said something shocking. "Well, doctor?" "We don't give out patients' details to just anyone, I'm afraid." the doctor replied, thinking that he had pulled a smart card, but even before Manchester could say a word, the chief took out a card from his uniform pocket and placed it on the table. "I'm pretty sure that you recognise what this is, right?" He asked, staring at the doctor directly in the eyes. So far, his behaviour has proven to them that he has a hand in rigging the result. "He sure is bad at hiding it." Manchester thought. As the doctor gazed upon the card on his desk, he choked on his words. The card was a permit from the court, granting the team access to whatever information they needed for the case they were working on. "I... "Have no choice but to tell us what it is that you discussed, doctor." Manchester took the words right out of his mouth. "We are
70. I- would love to know what conversation you had afterwards.
Past 12, Manchester had already been to Valerie's home to say hello to her and his son before heading for the station. They had called him a few hours after he had sent the report. He feared that they might ask for evidence to permit this case, but he chose to go anyway, "What's the worst that could happen?" He thought. As he got to the station, he was directed to the Chief's office, and just on his table, was a printed copy of his report. "Seat down," the chief instructed Manchester. The chief's face looked very familiar, but Manchester couldn't remember where he'd seen the man before. "When I saw this report, I printed it out immediately, because I saw your name on at the bottom. Good afternoon, Mr Manchester Duke. My name is Anderson, and I was at the court earlier yesterday when you were instructed to hand the child over to Cain Hycinth in three days." "Oh," Manchester muttered, 'now that's where I met him, at the court.' "Nice to meet you, sir," Manchester said
69. I- begged you already.
"You are kidding right?" Mel asked. She didn't think he would get so serious about letting her go all of a sudden. In fact, she couldn't bear the shame that would come along with This was a man she left everything for, abandoned Manchester and Nelson just so she could be with him. A man who thought that she had always been single and always gave her whatever she needed or wanted without her having to try too hard. She also couldn't fathom life without him, not now. She had plans to use his wealth to set herself up, to start up a business, to own a fashion line or to run a prestigious company like him, but he's about to let her go, just like that. "I already said that I am sorry," she pleaded, falling to her knees before him with those puppy eyes that always seemed to get his attention. "I said I was just trying to get your attention to know why you were so sad since yesterday. I love you so much, Roger, and you love me too, please don't do this to me." "Just pack your things and
68. I- am done
"That freak of a man!" Mel snapped after multiple attempts to reach Manchester, but he continued to ignore her call. From the first to the seventh time, and if she's being honest, this was a shock. Somehow, she imagined in her head that Manchester still loved her and still wanted her. She always assumed that he was jealous of getting a new relationship and wouldn't hesitate to win her back if he could. And most of all, she thought that Manchester would want her to beg for his forgiveness, but she wasn't in the mood for all that thought at the moment. All that she could think about was Nelson's life, which was in danger. She couldn't care less if anything happened to Manchester himself, but there was still a place for the little kid in her heart, even though she had deliberately closed it up with greed. She wasn't too worried about anything happening to Nelson in Manchester's care, but the death threat hit her hard. She didn't want him to die, but she also didn't want to give Cain
