Chapter 46 Outdo me

I couldn t believe that it was Ella with a baby on her hand
I was just confused looking at them
I had to stand up and walked to the front
"Good afternoon honey" Ella greeted as she walked closer to me
While COP Kelly stood at where he parked his car
"I don t understand" I said pointing at the baby
"I thought I should be surprising you" Ella said
"How do you mean?" I asked
" I discovered that I was pregnant few weeks after I left, so I decided to keep it a secret because I knew how desperate you were, about a boy" she explained
"Wait, a boy?" I asked with joy
Forgetting necessary things that I needed to ask her
"Yes, he looks more handsome like you" she replied
I smiled and carried the baby

….. Jason POV ??
I exhaled after the story
"So that s how I got to live with him?" I asked
"Exactly" doc Henry replied
"COP Kelly has started from the beginning" David said
"I need to attend some patient now" doc Henry said standing up
We had to stand up as well
"Thanks for the information anyway" I said
"Anytime, just take care of yourselves guys" he said while we nodded and left his office
"That was really a long journey brother" David said on our way to the car
"My whole life was a lie" I responded
"Don t worry, it is already turning out true" he said while I smiled
Just then, a cab drove into the hospital
It parked and Dorothy got down from it
She walked to where I was, with David
Beside David s car
"I guessed well" she said
"Dorothy" David called
"Why are you here?" He asked
"My Uncle said that he will like to speak with you alone" she replied
David looked at me
"No, this is between couple, don t look at me again" I said as I got inside the car
"Is it now?" David asked
"It is already late, I just came to inform you since you don t even care to visit" she said
"I knew you would be here because Jason is receiving treatment that s why I am here" Dorothy added
"Sorry, I was very busy that I couldn t visit" David apologized
"No problem, am not angry but worried" Dorothy responded
"See you tomorrow" she added and walked out
"Take care" David shouted
"Lover boy please let s go" I said while he smiled
He got inside and ignited the engine
"I still need to stay with him for the main time, until the whole truth is out" I said
"No problem, I will drop you off" he replied
??????
….. David POV ??
I had to drop Jason at Mr Luke s place and still go to Dorothy s house
"Take care of Mom and Faith please" Jason said when I dropped him as he bent over to the window
"Sure, take care junior bro" I replied
"You have started again" he said while I laughed and drove off
I watched him through the side mirror and he was just watching as I drive
I revised and drove back to where he was standing
"Aren t you going inside? Or are you missing me already junior bro?" I asked
"Hey!" He shouted while I laughed again and drove off
No turning back
I called my Mom and told her that I would be coming back late
I drove straight to Dorothy s house and met with her Uncle
"You really came today?" He asked after greeting him
"I have to" I replied
"Please sit" he said while I sat beside him
Dorothy was surprised when she saw me
She had to go back to inside
Where she was
"It is already late, I have to go straight to the point" Mr Ken said
"When are you planning to recover what belonged to you and your brother?" He asked
I was confused
"How do you mean?" I asked
"About Mr Luke" he replied
"You already knew about it?" I asked
"Yes, even when the demon was telling you about it, it was showing in the special book" he replied
"You also know about Jason, being my brother?" I asked
"Yes, I knew it right from time when I heard about the marks on you guys, Dorothy even said it" he replied
"Actually, the demon told me about everything but I don t have any evidence against him" I said
"That s why am missing something when I was with her, I would have asked for evidence" I added
"Don t worry, when you are ready, I will support you guys" Mr Ken said
"Just try and work together with your brother" he added
…..
…… Officer Dan POV ??
The following morning, I got down to Elysee because I needed to see the doctor
At least face to face will make things easier for me
Working for someone doesn t mean that you will have to put only their own interests in mind
But as a police officer, you will have to be checking the two sides
Right from beginning, when I heard about Mr Luke as the new management of Chantelle clothing company, I thought that there was something behind it because I was sure that Mr Isaac had a son
I also tried checking on that but there was no clue
I drove straight to the hospital and parked
"Am here to see the doctor" I said referring to a nurse that was at the front desk of the receptionist
"Okay sir but you need to wait a little, because he is with someone" she replied
"Or is it urgent?" She asked
"Not really, I will wait" I replied as I went to sit on a chair
I began to look around
After some minutes, a man walked out from the doctor s office direction
I knew that it was my turn but the man caught my attention
It was Mr Lee
"You can go in now sir" the nurse said while I nodded
Still my eyes on Mr Lee
He was walking to the passage where the patients rooms are
I had to follow him up
The nurse tried correcting me
Thinking that I was about to make mistake
But I signalled her to calm down while I kept following Mr Lee
He was serious with where he was heading to
And I tried not to behave suspiciously
I followed him quietly until he reached to the end
I made as if I was going inside a room just at my right hand side
I held the handle and opened it
Luckily, it was empty
I could feel that he has turned to the room at that end
I had to walk in first
When I was sure that he has gone inside, I came out from the room and closed it back
I walked very fast to the end but stopped at the door
It was close
I placed my ears against the door, so that I could hear what would happen there but everywhere was quiet
Soon, I started hearing a footsteps coming closer to the door
I rushed and opened the door next to it
"Why is everywhere empty?" I asked myself but in a low voice
I waited for him to open the door, which he did
He walked passed the room I was in
It sounds as if he stopped because I couldn t hear his footsteps anymore
I still had to wait until he walked out of the passage
I rushed out of the room when I thought that he must have done something to anyone in there
But when I got inside the room, it was also empty
I had to check around the room properly
When I was sure that there was nothing in there, I had to go after what I came for
I walked straight to the doctor s office
Luckily, he was free
I knocked on the door before opening it
"Please sit" he said
Meanwhile I was still closing the door
Just as I turned to look at him
He did the same
Couldn t believe that it was my classmate
"Doc Henry" I called smiling
"Unbelievable, is this not the same Dan?" He asked smiling back
He stood up and we shook hands
"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked
He sat back down and I did so
"I thought you were in Louvre?" I asked
"I got some business to do here, so why are you here?" He asked back
"Some business as well" I replied
"for how long have you known Jason?" I asked
"Everybody is now on his case" he said instead
"Wait, there was a man who left here some minutes ago, who is he?" I asked
"Actually, I don t really know him but he said that he was an old time friend of Mr Paul" he replied
"Who is Mr Paul?" I asked because I don t know him
"Isaac s son" he replied
"Wait, do you know where he stays now?" I asked
"Not at all" he replied
"So is there any patient at the end of the first passage?" I asked to know if I could figure out Mr Lee s plan
"Mrs Florida, Paul s wife" he replied
Thinking about it, he was an old time friend of Mr Paul and now he was at the supposed ward of Mrs Paul
He was also working with COP Kelly and Mr Luke was doubting him concerning Jason
Complicating
How could Mr Luke easily believe that Jason was only playing even when he was thinking about him might not be his son
"But is she still there?" I asked
"No, her son, David has taken her home" he replied
"Her son David? What about Paul?" I asked
"I can t tell about it" he replied
"Actually, I was with Mr Luke yesterday when he came to visit you" I started
"Mr Luke is having a feeling that Jason might not be his son and I don t know if you have an idea because Jason said that you are aware of it?" I indirectly asked
"I don t even know who you are with" he said
"You were with Mr Luke yesterday and Jason said that he was only joking, isn t that true?" He asked
"Yes, but how did you know?" I asked because it must be Jason that told him
"Actually, when I arrived, the nurses told me everything, after all, they were the one that called me" he replied
If I would get what I came for, I had to be sincere
Doc Henry was my close friend but he doesn t like to leak secret like that
"Let me get into the matter, Mr Luke came all the way from Elysee to Louvre, just to see me"
"According to him, he said that he was suspecting something about Jason, and he was thinking that COP Kelly must be aware of it"
"He asked me to work on it, knowing that COP Kelly was smart enough, that he wouldn t tell him the truth easily" I explained
"Friendship have to do with lots of things" he said while I nodded
"I will give you the details because I trust you but I still don t want Mr Luke to know it" he added
"Sure, I believe that there must be something even after this, but am working on it" I replied
He explained to me how COP Kelly came to him with Mr Luke s late wife who was barren
He had to get Jason for them
He also told me that COP Kelly tried killing Mrs Paul with the baby
So he had to look for a way out
And still take Jason in there
"Mr Luke isn t smart as I thought" I said
After the explanation
"How can someone claimed to be pregnant for you but kept it a secret, just to surprise you and you didn t think of going for DNA test?"
??????
…. COP Kelly POV ??
Making plans as usual was becoming hard for me this days
I had to take a break and handed everything to Mr Lee
Mr Lee met me in my office after checking out what he said that he has
"Bad news" he said immediately he sat
"Which bad news?" I asked
"Mrs Paul is no longer in the hospital" he replied
"What? We need her now because I still have some important information to get" I said
I wanted to arrest David maybe it could be a way to threat her because I knew very well that truth was always hard for her to tell
But Mr Lee asked me not to try it because the court won t permit it
Possession of evil spirit was beyond human power
As far the person has been delivered, you don t have the license to arrest him
That was according to Mr Lee
Since I have been working under law, I haven t heard about that
"But I don t think we still need Mrs Paul here because we have gotten the information we needed" he said
"Am just scared because I don t know her next target"
"She might still come for Mr Paul s position, I think that is why she came here to live" I said
"Do you want her or David?" Mr Lee asked
"I need both of them, I don t know if David is already aware of what happened to his father" I replied
"I will work on that" Mr Lee replied
"I need to make plans on it" he added before leaving
Few minutes after he was gone, Mr Luke s call came in
??????
……Mr Luke POV ??
Thinking straight was far from me
If I could remember, Jason s birth was just a surprise
If he should have said what actually came out from his mouth
That means something must have prompt him
Even after what he said that was a prank, I still have the feeling
I had to call COP Kelly to my house
Not too far, he arrived and parked
He met with me in the balcony
It has become my favorite place
I offered him some drinks
"I just have one thing that is bothering me" I said
Just to start up a conversation
"What could that be?" He asked
"About Jason" I replied
I could see that his expression changed
That was one of the things that do make me think that he might be his father
"What about him?" He asked
"I think Ella lied to us" I replied
"Lied? How?" He asked
"I began to compare how things has been going on, I think he is not my son, even Ella hated him" I replied
It wasn t making sense but I still have doubt
"Ella hating him can be something else, if someone should hate him, it supposed to be you not her" he replied
"I think she has someone over there" I said
"Strange, let me see to that" he responded
"I need to travel to London for investigation" he added
After much discussion, he left
Even though he suggested for something meaningful, I still doubt him
Officer Dan s car drove in
He parked and rushed to where I was
"I didn t expect you today" I said
"Yes, but I have to come" he replied
"Why don t you sit?" I asked
"Am in a hurry" he replied
"Okay, what s the thing?" I asked
"I just did an inquiry about Jason and I even met with that doctor" he replied
"Good, what s the result?" I asked
"I discovered that Jason is your real son" he replied
??????
….. David POV ??
It was time for truth
I knew what Jason said that he felt that was on top of his birth
Which was our father s company and position
If I should keep it, I don t think Jason would be able to know it
Taking it back won t be easy but Mr Ken has promised us
I took my phone and called Jason
We had to meet at the same place we met the other time
Because of what it was, I had to go alone instead of going with Faith
I arrived before him and looked for an empty seat
It wasn t long before he walked into the store
His eyes first came to my direction
He had to come
"Where is Faith?" That was his first statement as he sat opposite me
"As you can see, she is not with me" I replied
"Why?" He asked
"What I want us to discuss is not what she needs to hear for now" I replied
"What could that be, that she isn t supposed to hear, she is almost part of the family?" He asked
"Almost, maybe you should buy her a cellphone then" I responded
"You don t know how it is to love and miss someone" he said while I smiled
"Let s go to business first" I said
"Okay, what is it?" He asked
"When the demon was tormenting my life, she told me some truth about Mr Luke" I replied
"Truth? Apart from him being Faith s father?" He asked
"Yes"; I replied
"So which truth is that?" He asked
"That his position was meant for our father" I replied
I began to tell him everything that happened 21yrs ago
According to Lucy
I didn t miss anything
"I said it, my instinct wasn t wrong" he said after the story
"That s why Mr Ken called me, he said that we should work on how to get what belonged to us" I said
"Too bad that Mr Williams died" he said after the story
"So how are you planning to take him down when you don t have any evidence, and the only hope is gone?" I asked
"I don t know how it will work but Mr Ken said that he will help" I replied
"That we should sue him first" I added
"Why will it be possible, is he Mr Williams?" He asked
"How can someone be two people?"
"I believe that he might be a friend to Mr Luke but on the way, they had a crash" I replied
"It could be possible but you need to wait, so that I can watch closely at him" he said
"I might get something against him, in that house" he added
??????
….. Doc Henry POV ??
What was happening appeared so interesting
I had to make my own plan
I thought of taking from Gina s side but there was no evidence
Gina only told me what happened but she didn t have anything that would be used against him
"Maybe I should bring in my patient" I said to myself
I was actually waiting for the perfect time to let the patient in
"Let me go and check him out" I concluded and got up from my seat
I walked out of my office and took my excuse from the nurses
I entered my car and drove off
…..….. Doc Henry POV ??
I drove to a restaurant where I normally buy food for that my special patient
Whenever I want to visit him
He was able to wake up from a coma after so many years
Luckily, he woke up that very day Jason knew the truth about himself
He was actually the person I went to check on, the time Mr Luke visited
I drove straight to the hospital where he was staying
I parked and took those things I bought for him
It was one of the rooms in the hospital but it was underground
I first met with doc Sammy and greeted him as usual
Before I headed down to the underground
He was just entertaining himself with a video
"You are doing well" I said smiling
He also smiled
"Thanks to you" he replied
I brought out those things I bought for him
He took the fruits first and began to show them what they are meant for
"I think it is time to act" I said
"I want to know Mr Luke s position first" he responded
"Actually, I don t really know but you can act as a pillar to David and his brother when you show up" I said
"Are they planning to sue him to court?" He asked
"I haven t talked with them about that but I think that David is aware of it" I replied
"Who would have told him?" He asked
"I don t know, maybe Mrs Florida" I replied
"But she is not aware of it he said
"Never can tell, secret can t be forever" I responded
??????
….. Jason POV ??
Too many secrets about Mr Luke
I was really shocked when I was listening to what David had to say about him
I couldn t believe that he actually overthrown our father
I had to try something new
Apart from what he did that we had no evidence about
At least, they might be something else that he was doing
I drove home that day with lots of thoughts
I had to make a perfect plan for him
If he was that smart, that means it will be very difficult to get him down
I got inside and greeted Mr Luke, who was alone in the living room and I headed to my room
I collapsed on my bed and began to think
I was still thinking when my phone began to ring
I checked and it was David
I had to pick up immediately
Because I was scared if something must have happened
"Hey" I first said
"She refused that I will sleep today" he said and I smiled
I knew already that it might be Faith
"You mean Faith?" I asked
"Perfect, she is here" he said
Before I could say another thing, a female voice took over
"Jason" she called while I smiled
"My Faith" I responded
"When are you coming home?" She asked
"Very soon, I am just checking out something" I replied
"What is it that David refused taking me with you?" She asked
"Don t worry, I will tell you very soon" I replied
"I might be of help" she said
"That s why I said very soon" I responded
I was still on phone when someone knocked at my door
I kept calm and thought for a while
"What s the problem?" Faith asked
"Someone is at the door" I replied
"Can I call you back?" I asked
"Sure" she replied and I hung up
I dropped my phone on the bed
The person knocked again and I went to open the door
It was Mr Luke
He was already on another outfit
"Dad" I called
"I have to go somewhere now and it is very important" he said
"Where?" I asked
"About the company at Italy, but we are holding the meeting here in Paris" he replied
"I have to go now" he added
"Okay Dad, safe journey" I replied
"No problem, and also I want us to talk about what happened the other day but this meeting is urgent, we will talk about it when am back" he said and I nodded
"Am always here" I replied
"Okay, take care" he responded and left
I thought it was time for the checking up
I escorted him to his car and watched him drove off with his driver
"No hesitation" I said rushing inside
I rushed to the computer room and disconnected the camera that led to the study room
The study room was always open because he believed that we are family
I got inside it and locked it from behind
I began to search for important information
I don t need any company document but any information that would take him down
I brought out the files that was inside the cupboard and began to search
After some minutes, someone knocked on the door
I looked at it and began to think who that could be
The knock came again
"Who is there?" I asked
"It is me" that was Mr Luke s voice
I gasped and began to arrange back those documents
What could he be doing here?" I asked myself
I thought for an excuse
I turned On his computer and my eyes caught what I didn t expect
I took his code and switched it to camera
I exhaled before walking to the door
I opened it and it was him
"What are you doing here?" He first asked
"The camera has a problem so I decided to check it out" I lied
"Is that why you locked the door?" He asked and made his way inside
"By the way, why did you keep long?" He asked
"Actually, I don t need disturbance, that s why I locked the door" I lied
"Still, there is a computer room, why didn t you check it there?" He asked as he sat down before the computer
He looked at me and my mind flew off
He looked down to the computer
??????
…… COP Kelly POV ??
I promised Mr Luke to travel to London for what I didn t know
I had to make another plan
The worst part was that I didn t know who Jason s parents are
What plan could I possibly make?
I was in my office still thinking when a phone call from unknown number came inside my phone
I had to pick it up
I had no choice
"Please are you the management of Yellow Star Aluminum company?" He asked
Yellow Star Aluminum company was my company
Thanks to Mr Luke
I was able to get a company on my own
He wanted to give me one of Mr Isaac s company but I declined it because I don t want anything that might possibly take it away from me
I had to make it two but the biggest one was in the next Town
Talking about Mr Isaac s company, someone might come out some day to stand against Mr Luke
Which will result a great lost
"Yes" I replied
"Sorry to report but we need your presence in the company premises" the person said
"What? Any problem?" I asked
"Your company is on fire" he replied
"What!" I asked standing up immediately
