Miguel knows all your movements, you and Daniella, so l sent him personally get you."

  "But he pointed a g*n at me and said you were is boss."

  "Hahahaha, he was playing around."

"Playing around? My goodness! I almost fainted."

   "He wanted to scare you, he derive fun from scaring people that's how he has been since he was a child."

"That's wierd."

"I called you here for a reason."

 " I need your help daughter."

 "How can l help you?"

"As a father l know am not supposed to say this but l have to am sorry, this things have to be over as soon as possible."

"What do you want me to do? I will do anything."

"I want you to seduce Philip Troy."

"What?"

"Please Brielle l know he is smart and all that but he has eyes for you, he has a soft spot for you."

"How sure are you dad."

"Am very sure Brielle."

  "Okay, why do l have to do this?"

"We have to get one last evidence, and we can only get the truth from him, seduce him, get him drunk and make him say the truth,just do it however you want it but you must make him say everything that he knows about Wyatt Braxton."

"What truth dad?"

"The truth that Wyatt and Helen are the people behind the poisoning of Mr Braxton."

Finally my efforts are not in vain

Daniella will be mine soon.

   I took one last look at my reflection in the mirror.

  You are mine Daniella!you are mine!

   My phone rang immediately.

"Hello Philip."

  "Boss we couldn't get in, the place is heavily guarded."

  "Just kill them all."

  "We can't take that risk Mr Wyatt and besides it will cost a lot of lives."

  "Who cares, get it done Philip and be fast about it."

  "Yes boss."

"Connor why are you always an obstacle?"

I picked up my phone and dailed Philip's number and he picked up immedaitely.

  "I want you to deguise as Felix and get the job done"

  "Alright boss."

"And when you cross paths with Felix don't hestitate to kill him."

  "Yes boss."

"Good."

Connor don't get in my way, am gonna let go of the fact that you tried to adopt me, but next time l won't be this nice.

I left my dressing room and climbed down the staircase.

  My bodyguards followed behind me.

 I told one of my drivers to go pick Daniella.

I entered my car and the drove off.

  I alighted from the car and rushed inside the hospital.

   I got drunk last night and almost forgot today is the day Mr Braxton is to be operated.

  "Where is the doctor?" I asked impatiently.

  "Please sir you have to calm down, he is attending to a patient" the nurse at the reception said not without giving me a flirty look."

  "Let's sit" Felix said."

"How can l sit, this is a matter of life and death."

  "I thought you don't care" he said.

  "Shut up" l said and he chuckled.

"What's funny" l asked pissed and he chuckled even more.

"Am sorry! Am sorry" he said and l hissed in annoyance.

  Felix excused himself and went out to receive a call.

  I paced up and down waiting for the doctor.

  Mintues later Felix came in and he was obviously angry.

  "What happened Felix?"

"Wyatt Braxton, it was him afterall."

  "What the hell? His he insane?"

"My goodness! I can't believe l once trusted and looked up to him." 

   "How did it happen?"

"The poison was placed in his room and his room was locked, he inhaled the poison and couldn't get out, and to add to it all his room his sound proof."

  "Who brought him out?"

"When they couldn't find him the next day, his driver brought someone to pull out the door of his room and that was how he was found lying unconscious."

  "My goodness! But Mr Braxton's door has a password, how did they enter?how did they know the password?"

  "Apart from Mr Braxton who else knows the password to his room."

"Mrs Braxton."

   "Felix stared at me wide eyed."

"This means.........."

"Stop Felix, it can't be her."

"Then who else?"

"None."

"then she definitely is the one."

  "But she is behind bars and why will she connive with Wyatt, they used to be enemies."

  "Mr Connor"

"Just call me Connor please."

  "Mrs Braxton is Desperate she doesn't mind siding with her enemy to get what she wants."

  "What does she want?"

"Mr Braxton's wealth."

  "Hahahaha, this is just so unbelievable."

     "Then l will send her to hell."

"Mr Connor, what did you say."

   "I said l will send her to hell."

"But she........"

  "Don't or you are going to regret it."

"Mr Connor!"

  "Doctor! Where have you been? How was the surgery?"

   "It was successful, Maxwell Rutherford volunteered to help us so l can assure you your father will survive this."

  "Why will Maxwell Rutherford willing volunteer to help my father? He is the country's best surgeon, does he by any chance know my father?"

 "You can ask him when you see him, l really don't know what kind of relationship they have but Mr Rutherford was so eager to treat him" he said.

  Maxwell Rutherford, the surgeon that's always wearing a mask.

"I need to see mr Braxton

 "you can't Mr Connor, he needs to rest."

"I want to see him now."

  "He is unconscious Mr Braxton."

 "You just said the surgery was successful."

"Yes the surgery was successful but whether he wakes up or not it's up to him, we have done our best Mr Connor.

Hopefully a miracle will happen.

      My phone rang Immediately 

"Hello Felix"

   "Mr Connor can you come to the reception l saw someone exactly like you."

  "Stop speaking nonsense."

"Hurry" he said and hung up.

  "Someone like me, who could that be?"

"Someone like me? Who could that be?"

   "I walked straight to the reception and couldn't find Felix."

  "Where is he?"

I walked outside the hospital, and saw Felix and my driver arguing.

  "Felix!"

"Mr Connor!"

"Where is he?"

   "He left already?"

"What the hell! What are you arguing about?"

  "He thought that man was you?"

"I have to go back inside" l said pissed.

   "Wait l took some shots" Felix said.

"Let me see."

  "What the hell! This is an imposter."

"Mr Connor, this doesn't look like deguise, this is real."

 "Then how is this possible, it's like am looking at my self."

  "I have to find him"

"You don't have to, l think he bought someone to the hospital."

  "I will tell someone to follow him whenever he arrives the hospital."

"Good, l will go see Mr Braxton now."

  "Is he alright?"

"He is unconscious, we will talk about it later, l just wanna see him."

 I headed to Mr Braxton's ward.

    I placed my hand on the door knob put paused immediately when l heard someone speaking from inside.

  Is mr braxton awake?

"Am sorry Braxton, for what l did in the past, am really sorry, this is my little way of saying am sorry, this is all l can do for you Mr Braxton,you have the fight for your life, l really hope you will survive this, so l can be at peace with myself, they don't call me the best surgeon for nothing, you are definitely going to survive this, hopefully you will." The person said, l twisted the door knob and entered immedaitely.

  "Who are you?" I asked.

He turned to look at me.

   I recognize his mask, Maxwell Rutherford.

  "Mr Connor, it's my pleasure to meet you, since you are here l will leave now."

 "Wait!"

"Have a nice day Mr Connor, remember you don't have to disturb him, let him be." He said and walked out.

  "Why was he apologizing, what did he do?"

"Who exactly is he?"

I sat beside Mr Braxton and stared at him for a long time.

   I remembered all what he said the other day.

   "I know l will die soon but my greatest regret is you not being my son.

  "Why?"

"Why are you not my son?"

I sniffed as l wiped the tears that threatened to fall from my eyes.

  "I think you were right dad,l really don't hate you, l was only angry, angry that you never had time for us, angry that you never considered our feelings, you forced us into doing so many things."

"you made us forget our dreams and started working in your goddamn company, l was hurt dad, l always thought if this is what it was to be born to a well to do family then why was l not born in a poor home, l wasn't happy dad, because of this l became a workaholic, until l met her, Daniella,she is my only happiness."

 "But what should l do? now she don't even recognize me and your son his trying to take my only happiness."

  "Forgive me father, l can't just sit and do nothing, he poisoned you afterall, he is not worthy to be called your son."

 "Am going to deal with everyone of them."

  "I don't know if you will survive this but l understood it too late, out of them all you are the one who loves me most."

 "You don't regret it more than l do? I regret it too, it pains me also, why? Why are you not my father?l really wish you are my father Mr Braxton, but life is so cruel, am not your son after all and you are not my father, it can't be changed."

  I couldn't control it anymore, the tears kept flowing freely.

  "Don't give up dad, fight for your life,just wake up please and l promise to remain your son, just please don't die" l said and sobbed more.

 My phone rang immediately, l wiped my tears with my handkerchief and answered the call.
