Chapter One Hundred and One: Gravely Wounded.
“Are you going to arrest me now?”Selena’s chest tightened. Despite the fact that she tried to act tough in front of her brother and lover. She knew deep down, she was wounded. She had blamed herself severally for everything that happened while she was younger, it all didn’t make sense that she had to endure so much toxicity that she ended up as everyone’s nightmare.“No Sel, I said it earlier, I am not here as a detective.” Hale responded.Spence didn’t! He just looked sadly at his sister whose life had been ruined from the onset. He didn’t blame her, he dared not. She didn’t have the same privilege of a caring mother like Mrs Wellington. All Selena had ever done was thrive in the harsh world. He didn’t have to go through all that, all he lacked was wealth and now that he had all of that, he quite misses the old days.“How could you do that to a child?” Spence said at last.“I didn’t kill him intentionally, I just didn’t save him from harm, that’s all.” She picked up her phone and st
Chapter Hundred: Out Of Line
*Flashback* “I won’t condone this Pete.”Clara, Spence’s mum cried out angrily. She turned young Selena’s back and her eyes scanned through the scars that lie heavily on it, some of the parts still bleeding. She held Ryan who kept staring at the crying Selena. Peter on the other hand raised a defiant gaze and looked over at the damage he had done as if it didn’t matter at all.“She needed to be punished.” He said casually.Clara was made with rage. She picked up Ryan and took him to the other bedroom, Selena followed beside her and when she got to the room Lena, the mansion head maid came forward. Clara instructed her to treat Selena’s wound which she did gently. The other woman stared at the child’s back in awe.Her insides cringe at the thought of an adult doing that to a child. Lena had worked for Clara longer before she got married to Peter, a poor countryside bumpkin whom she somehow fancied; unfortunately, behind her back, he had always attempted to lay with her.“Lena, breathe
Chapter Ninety Nine: Mother Knows Best.
“Clara deserved her death.”Spence couldn’t wait to hear the rest as he splintered across the grounds. He hastily got into his car and zoomed off the premises not minding if his father had heard the loud screeching noise from his car tyre.He couldn’t process the information he just overheard rather an echo of it kept replaying in his head. He remembered all too well the first day he was given a tour of the Hale mansion. He had seen a large portrait of his mother hung in the hallway leading to his father’s room, unknown to him that it was merely a souvenir.He drove his way to his least expected place, the only place that was really home to him. Right into Mrs Wellington’s arms where he had spent his childhood. He remembered how much he had warned him about the secrets of the rich. Now that he was entangled in the web of fate and ended up as one, he didn’t know if he could live with knowing the secrets that came with it.Spence’s car came to an abrupt stop in front of his adopted moth
Chapter Ninety Eight: Glow In The Dark.
Pamela had the bag all packed, she sat there beside her girlfriend waiting endlessly for the doctor to show up for his rounds. She needed to personally appreciate his endeavor on Anita’s health and at the same time warn him to stay clear of harboring any infatuation for her.They had spent the last three weeks in the hospital and she couldn’t wait to return back to their warm bed to sleep out the rest of the day with Anita cuddled in her arms.They were still there gisting with some other patients and their guidian when Bella walked in. She had a big basket in her hand which she handed over to Pamela before rushing forward to hug her best friend Anita.“I thought Mr Hale had all the paperwork’s done already?” Bella questioned suspiciously.“He did, just waiting on the attending doctor.” Pamela said casually but Anita knew better.She just pretended not to notice the guilt her girlfriend wore on his face. They were all still talking when someone else walked in, all head’s turned in Spe
Chapter Ninety Seven: Granted Access.
Alice smiled warmly at her reflection. The red lip she had on suits her aged skin all too well. She smiled inwardly at the thought of proudly walking up to Maya and boasting of how impactful her contribution was to getting her out of prison. She knew that wasn’t going to happen if she didn’t do her assignment accurately. She made for her car and drove out of the house. Her first instinct was to drive to the Hale mansion and pay Peter a visit but she had a rethink. She hadn’t equipped herself well enough to fight that freaking user. She got to her destination and parked her car. Her eyes scanned the giant building facing her. The mightiness of Zillow Jade filled her heart with envy. If only she had waited just a little, it could have belonged to her daughter Maya. They could have both bought Spence’s fragile heart and ruled above him but it was too late now, There was no use crying over spilled milk. The security team at the front door scanned her belongings and she was let into the
Chapter Ninety Six: The Storm From Earlier.
Maya hadn’t been that excited to accept any visitation as she did that morning. She stared intently at her small mirror she hides at the back of her bunk. One of her minions held it in place while she prepped for the visitation.The correctional officer walked in and opened the gate for her. She literally jumped out of it with a huge smile on her face. She forged ahead that the officer had to heighten her grip on her. When they arrived at the visitation room, she let out a deep breath and flipped her hair to the side before walking in.Like the trillionaire that he was, Spence reeks of domineering presence and authority. Maya blushed furiously as their eyes met. She had always seen him well dressed even when he was her poor husband but she felt more intimidated by the fact that he wasn’t faking his appearance, he was truly rich enough to afford his needs.“Hello Maya.”“Hello there.” Maya said, sitting down opposite him.Spence stared intently at her. Maya looked nothing like his ex-w
