Standing at the door way, Kim's interest was ignited therefore she pricked her ears. It seems to her that there was something more about his client and his wife hence she wanted to know what it was! Her curiosity spike up but her eagerness was abruptly jammed when Terrence's voice echoed in her ears."Kim, please close the door and take the space here with us." He said, "...since you're a private investigator, I assumed that you're probably interested to know about this. Furthermore, since you decided to step up and help me, I guess you'd become part of this as well."Kim let out a sigh of relief. She thought earlier that she will be pushed away that's why when she heard his voice, she felt a little disappointed but to her astonishment, he summoned her to listen as well. She felt gratified deep within because of his considerate behavior."Sure, Sir." Was her curt reply before she locked the door then she took a seat across them.Ashley's eyes turned hostile when it darted to Kim's fac

"You heard me right. She doesn't belong to Stanford family but the Monroe's bloodline." Ben repeated nonchalantly. Displaying a nonchalant expression in his face, Terrence replied, "Let's say, I believe in you. Isn't it too late for this? She's dead, remember?"Ben chuckled while shaking his head, "As Athena Stanford perhaps but my Zenith Monroe is alive.""Why are you telling me all this?" Terrence's voice sounds albeit displeased with the man's revelation thus he couldn't help throwing out words to lessen somehow the irritation he felt. "The Stanfords are all devastated as well as my family because they thought that she died in that explosion while here you are, telling me that she's alive, gaining another identity as your granddaughter. Does this sounds funny to you?""And how about you? Do you even mourn for her death as her husband?" Ben bellowed.Terrence's eyes darkened as he countered. "What do you mean? Do I look like I am celebrating?""Young man, I may be absent from her l

The night deepend but after his meeting with Ben Monroe, Terence summoned his brother in law, Anton Stanford for a drink in Monroe's bar. The latter agreed without hesitation and promised to arrive in just a few minutes. While Terrence was waiting, he poured himself a shot of liqour, drinking it in one go to ease his worries and longings for Athena who remained unconscious when he left the island but he swore from the bottom of his heart that he would come back to accompany her after dealing the matters that she left. HIs mind was full of their memories together but it halted when his mobile phone vibrated under his pockets. He fished it out as he expected that it might be one of Athena's nurses but when he looked into it, his face turned sullen. Disgust filled his eyes as he watched the clip sent by Kim. Without finishing it, he shut if off and resumed drinking. Bang! The door burst open and Anton stormed in. He had his face darkened as he strode forward, taking the empty seat acr

As Terrence stepped down the bar's exit, his mobile phone held by his hand vibrated. He released out a sigh as he looked into his flickering screen. Kim has finally called! Without wasting another second, he answered it as he walked into the parking lot. "Where have you been Kim? I've been calling you but you-..." he halted as he took a deep breath to calm himself down. "Sorry, I was just worried about my wife. She-..." "Mr. Adams, I apologize if my line was busy earlier. Something happened in the island and I..." Kim stammered nervously as she explained. Terrence chest tightened as he asked. "What happened?" "Your wife bleeds again and they're trying their best to save the baby." Kim exclaimed in one breath. Terrence shut his eyes in silence, feeling his bones snapping out from his cartilage. He felt weak all over as he absorbed Kim's words. His little one was in danger and he was responsible for it! He had scared his wife that's why she bleed again! It was his fault! "Mr. Ada

Terrence could feel that the doctor was displeased with him. By the looks she was giving him, he was certain that she was really upset but why? 'Could it be that Athena was in a dangerous situation right now?' he thought and his insides felt even more uneasy as he followed her in. He spun his head around and he saw his wife sleeping soundly with a drip attached in her arm. He took a step, about to approach her bed but the doctor's words made him halt. He froze as he felt surprised!. "Mr. Adams, please focus on me so you could take care of her and the baby properly in the future." "You mean the baby, is safe?" he affirmed thinking that he might have heard the physician wrong but the doctor nodded and smiled helplessly at him. "Yes. The baby is safe but I would like to remind you about something, Mr. Adams." The doctor breathed and went, "Your wife's condition is sensitive. If you want the baby to stick in her womb, you better think twice..." He frowned. "Doctor, what do you mean?
