MALCOLMMelinda nodded and snuggled further into my thigh.Barely a few minutes later, a familiar commotion I haven't heard for nearly five years broke out, just outside the ward. I stared at the door confused. "What's going on outside?" Melinda asked and tried to raise her head."It's nothing," I replied and gently pushed her head back to my thigh.Just then, the door was pushed open and a young lady stormed in."You fool you bastard," she kept screaming curse words as she tried to free herself from security who were trying to lead her out of the room."You are hiding in a hospital room after denying your child. You men are wicked and evil. If I leave today and give birth to this child alone. I swear by my life that I won't let her have anything to do with you!" The lady screamed. Her face turned in the direction of the security.Melinda rose from my body, this time, I didn't hold her down. I also rose and lifted Melinda into my arms, then approached the lady. Getting close to the d
MELINDA I headed towards the door and twisted the knob, it immediately opened. Surprised that the door was open, I peeked into the room. The room was just like Mum's room, the only difference was that there was no patient. It was totally empty. I tried to close the door, but then I caught sight of Mum's photo of when she was pregnant with me placed on the desk in the room. I looked closely to make sure I wasn't mistaken, but then I really wasn't. Curious as to what Mum's photo was doing in that room, I stepped in, but then I recalled that I would be leaving Mum alone. "What if something goes wrong or she wakes up without seeing anyone?" I thought and quickly stepped back. I tried to close the door, but then, someone suddenly pushed it open and pulled me into the room. "Ahh!," I tried to scream but my mouth was covered. "Shhhh!" my captor hushed me. I looked up to see a very unfamiliar guy staring down at me. "Who are you?" I mumbled. Instead of replying, he went back to the do
MALCOLM I pulled up in front of my law firm. It was one of the most renowned law firms in California, all thanks to Fiona's sensible management. I parked my car in the parking lot and found my way into the building. As usual, all employees bowed to acknowledge me. I barely paid heed to them as I was more interested in knowing what Michael and Fiona found. Once I got to Fiona's office, I didn't bother to knock, I pushed the door open and entered, knowing that they were anticipating my arrival. "What's up? What did you find?" I asked while still trying to shut the door. "Shut the door first, exchange greetings with us, then repeat your question," Michael said and Fiona rolled her eyes at me. I ignored his words, finally shutting the door, I found a seat beside him and gave the both of them a questioning look. "So?" I asked impatiently. "So, the greeting, " Michael insisted. I shot him a death glare and focused my attention on Fiona who smiled and gestured to me to do what Michael
LEILANI "Uncle Lucian spoke to me earlier in that room today," I heard Melinda say. Her voice sounded like she was crying."My baby," I mumbled and tried to open my eyes but couldn't."What? He came here?" I heard Malcolm ask.I listened as Melinda explained what transpired between her and Lucian. Anger surged through my veins, consumed by rage, I forcibly opened my eyes, only to see them heading out of the room."Get the police here, that bastard has done more than enough harm to my daughter and me. It's high time he pays," I growled, my fist clenched and my eyes flashing."Leilani?" Malcolm muttered and immediately turned around.His eyes widened on seeing me awake, he stared tenderly at me. I could swear I saw a tear drop from his eyes. A smile adorned his lips and he exhaled as if he had been waiting for me to wake up for long. He looked so happy to see me awake."Mummy!" Melinda screamed on seeing me. She immediately leapt down from Malcolm's hold, nearly falling to the floor."E
MALCOLM I led the police out of the hospital room, even though I craved to be near Leilani and Melinda, apprehending Lucian was more important. I followed the police to the station and made sure an arrest warrant was gotten. Once I confirmed it, I led them to my family house to apprehend Lucian. Getting to the Blake's mansion, my former home, the gate was instantly unlocked for me. I led the police in and showed them Lucian's room. I did not bother to knock, I simply pushed the door open and walked in. I heard the sound of the shower running. "He still has the nerve to shower," I growled inwardly. "Come into the bathroom, I have missed the feel of your hands on me," I heard Lucian say from the bathroom. "What a fool, I wonder which of the maids he was banging." "Get dressed and get your worthless self here," I growled. In a few minutes, he exited the bathroom in just a bathrobe. "Get dressed and come outside." I didn't bother to tell him about the presence of the police outsid
MALCOLM I didn't bother to listen or reply to my mum's words. I found my way to my car, anger surging through my veins. I was just so close to getting Lucian punished for his crimes, now my mum has spoiled that. I never knew she would step in. My plan was to get Lucian arrested and jailed before she even realizes that he was arrested. I never thought that she would actually know about it this quick and step in instantly. BANG I landed a punch in my car. I was just not capable, being rich and being able to run a business isn't all there is to life. I must admit I lacked the wit and cunningness of people in the business circle. I always preferred to do things the right way. But now, with my daughter and Leilani in line. I don't think I could keep that up. I am going to do anything to keep them safe. And for Lucian, be it now or later. I will definitely make him pay for what he did. Even if it means forsaking the morals I made myself obey. I got into my car and put my head down on t
MALCOLM "Take a look at how miserable you look. You can't even concentrate on your work," Michael complained, but I ignored him and kept downing the bottle of alcohol in front of me."Leilani and her daughter are just a few kilometres away from you. Yet you sit here all the time wallowing in self pity. What exactly is wrong with you? You chose to stay away from them, yet you beat yourself for it," Michael continued."Just let me be, Michael!" I screamed."Suit yourself, man," he yelled back and walked away slamming the door.I banged my fist on the table and rose from my seat. I know my decision to leave Melinda and Leilani alone was impulsive and stupid. But there was nothing I could do. I felt like I shouldn't be next to them when I couldn't bring down Lucian. I failed as a father to Melinda and Leilani and I couldn't bear to look them in the eyes, knowing that they both still had scars they got from Lucian. Even though I was away from them, I never really left them my eyes were on
LEILANI "Ma'am, you have a visitor,'' my secretary announced once she stepped in. I stared at her in confusion. I wasn't expecting anyone today, so who could the mysterious visitor be? "Let the person in," Sienna told the Secretary, who bowed and left. Sienna patted my back. "You signed up for unexpected meetings when you became a businesswoman. I'll go pick up Melinda from school later. So, concentrate and thank me later." Saying this, she turned around and left the office. I watched as she left the office, I sighed and made sure my hair was properly done. No matter what I was going through, I wouldn't want people to see me looking tattered, I am a CEO and I have an image to uphold. My office door is suddenly pushed open. I raised my head to see the so-called visitor who doesn't know how to knock. I'm greeted by the most unexpected person. "What is Malcolm's mom doing in my office?" I wondered. Nevertheless, I sat still and didn't bother to say a word. I had gotten wind of
