Chapter 10: Burying the hatchet
Bailey Wallace
My daughter Tessa. She never ceased to amaze me. Sometimes she made me wonder if she was really mine or I was drugged and forced to carry a surrogate for some other couple and they bailed on me. Gabriel was better off. Yes he drunk himself to confusion but my son would never let anything harm his family. I missed him."Where is she?" I asked."She was just here a few minutes ago" the butler said looking around as though she was probably hiding in the flowers."Find her, search Blake's room she must be there!"The butler"Okay mum""Don't okay me find her butler what do we pay you for if you can't keep an eye on my daughter?'That was rhetorical. I ran towards Blake's crib hoping Tessa was not there or else it would have been catastrophic for me. She wouldn't have hesitated to tell Blake about my earlier support of Bailey’s offence although I was compelled to say it. Upon getting there, said a little prayer and opened the door.

Blake"Am sorry...”"Stay still and stop apologizing" she said applying a cream on bruised face, "I don't take any of them serious, tell me though. Did you beat up Gerald?""No I didn't. He tried to invoke me into a fight and when I avoided it he found a way to make me the bad guy""That sounds like it, and this bruises?""His guards" "Am sorry, can you seat up?" She asked trying to help.I nodded as she supported my back with a pillow and folded blankets and sheets. She then went back to her bag of supplies and brought back a tin of rice and yellow beans with a spoon and a bottle of water. She also had a mango. Seated on the edge of my creaky bed she fed me. Once in a while giving me water and wiping my mouth with a towel. "How long will this go on?" She asked.She might have read my mind. The same question was making me go nuts. I would have stayed motivated if I knew how long Tessa and her family were going to treat me like trash. But I didn'

BlakeBy midafternoon I was feeling a little better. Got out to bask in the sun and stretch a bit. My body was still aching but still lying on my back was not going to help. For the first time since moving in the Wallace manor it was the opportune time to take the big trip, just walk around the forest and the lake free my mind that was bottled in a constant battle of superiority between Anita and Tessa. Freedom and love constantly outweighing each other on a scale.Love, or just the feeling of it, was a funny thing to me. It usually got me in the most awkward of situations. First with Tessa yelling at me for selling her a broken blender then Anita was coming in when I had just possibly ruined her life and got her fired.She was everything a man would ask for. Am talking about Anita. She was the first non-wallace I interacted with and she did not treat me like the other employees did. With fear and a lot of feigned respect. She would speak whatever that was on her mi

TessaHome was boring as expected or maybe my mood swings were at it again. The weather was radiant, the air was fresh and my life was on track. I had every reason to be happy. I led the way inside the house without talking to anyone. Behind me was mum with her favorite kid, my brother Gabriel.This had nothing to do with jealousy, my entire life I never craved to be closer to mum more than we already were. But it was not a secret she had a soft spot for him."My favorite person come on Tessa give daddy a hug" There he was, my favorite person too, a spot that used to be Blake's but I was not feeling it anymore."Good evening dad" "You look gloomy, you want those wrinkles on your pretty face kiddo?""No daddy" I said forcing a smile.He always used the wrinkles thing to scare me into being happy. That was a long time ago when I was a kid it still worked though."There you go and look who we have here" "Dad, am so sorry...""Shut up

BlakeLying on my bed, my hands behind my back, staring blankly in the ceiling. Not a ceiling really, the ridges of the rusty iron sheets. My mind was roaming far away from my body that had not moved since laying there thirty minutes back. My own mind had turned against me and my heart was throbbing, out of anger and confusion, fear and regrets. The most dominant person on my mind being Gerald Wallace. He had crossed a line making me feel like a looser. Even if we got things back to where they were with Tessa there was a snowballs chance in hell I was going to forgive him. Not without giving him a taste of his own medicine.Never before had my soul been overwhelmed by vengeance. I was thinking of every possible way to get my Revenge on him. And my weapon of choice was success. Not a gun or asking guards to beat him up no. He was the father of my lovely wife, family in that case but I wanted him to know that betting against Blake was a wrong move. From a distan

TessaHis lifeless body in my arms was one of the things I never wished to see. Yes I didn't like him not working hard dot improve his miserable life but he was human and Gabriel was wrong. Shooting him was totally unacceptable, something I wouldn’t have wished even for my worst enemy."Quick get the car and take him to hospital!" Shouted dad.The butler rushed to the parking lot while Gabriel was smiling with mockery looking at us his guns still at hand. He looked unhinged as though he had just not shot an already wounded man in cold blood."What have you done?" Mum asked angrily, it was good to see that despite her soft spot for Gabriel he also saw fault in what his favorite son did."What needed to be done" He said rudely. "You don't shoot people in this compound again you hear me?" Screamed mum.His head was now hang in Shame. Whenever he raised is head he kept looking at dad for mercy but he had none in his eyes.

The ButlerWhen we got to the hospital we were lucky to find a willing doctor to help us. They were all leaving for their houses although they were not supposed to. The health facility was a 24 hours healthcare service provider. That however had changed with the impending destructive war getting closer to the towns from the city. Nowhere was safe anymore.It was no longer safe to walk on the streets at night alone and especially when one was a doctor or a medical personnel. The gangs and mafia groups were kidnapping them to go heal their fighters injured in battle since they couldn't bring them to hospital for fear of being arrested by the local authorities.I asked the other guards to wait outside as I stayed behind in the waiting room. Blake was in surgery. The doctor said he had lost a lot of blood and passed out due to excessive bleeding. My prayer was they found a match of his blood group in the blood bank. I didn't know any of his family members and the ones h

When he felt alive again, Blake was lying on the grass with his eyes shut. He could feel the bright light from the sun penetrating through his eye lids like two red hot patches covering his eyes. He opened them slowly and covered his face with the back of his hand. Sat up and behold. He was in the middle of a grassland, from afar he could see a house, smoke coming from its chimney. To have a clear view he got up on his feet. There was nothing familiar about that place in the middle of nowhere, no neighbors just cows and chicken, dogs and horses grazing.Something that was however familiar was a lady walking towards him with a young boy. It was hard to tell if the boy was his and the lady too but he walked to meet them halfway. And when they got closer he could tell who they were. His wife and child."Hunnie have you been having those episodes again" the lady said concerned."Am okay, let's go inside" Blake said looking around."I can call the doctor for you, you don'

The Wallace manor was busy as usual. The employees were going round the compound doing their chores. Others cleaned the compound, one was working on the hedges, another mowing the carpet green grass, picking litter and watering the flowers. Inside, the house keeper was dusting the antique but classy furniture in the living room. The cooks in the kitchen were preparing for lunch moments after serving breakfast.Outside. The butler was in the rubble of what used to be Blake's house a few hours back. He was trying to salvage anything of importance in there and honestly there wasn't much. He managed to get a few papers and deeds that seemed important. They were in a bag that he had hidden somewhere on the collapsed roof of the crib. Everything else was burnt to ashes. One of the maids came running."Mr. Wallace has requested for your presence in the manor" she said bowing."I'll be there" the butler said and kept rummaging through the ruble.When he raised his gaze the m
