Chapter 46
Your mommy bullied me when she found out the pregnancy test was positive and kicked me out of the mansion!" Kelly's tears flowed.
"Forgive me babe, I wish I could have at least protected you," said Adrian as he hugged Kelly tightly.
"She accused me of being a thief and mercilessly imprisoned me even though I was pregnant!" Kelly cried.
"Babe, forgive me for causing you all this," Adrian shook his head.
"I can't forgive what Jhanice and your mommy did to me!"
"Why? What nonsense did Jhanice do to you?" Adrian said as he held his breath.
"She locked me up in the mental hospital and made it appear to everyone that I was mentally ill so that you wouldn't believe me and above all he made you believe that I was his paid surrogate mother!"
"Jhanice is so evil, I can't believe she would do such a stupid thing!" Adrian's eyes were burning with anger.
"Forgive me if my heart didn't recognize you right away, I'm confused because they made me believe something else!" Adrian sobbed as he knelt in front of Kelly.
"I don't hold any grudge against you, I understand you, all I want is for you to show me my children!"
"Babe, I'll fix everything as long as you come back to me," Adrian pleaded.
"Adrian, times are changing, I thought I loved you but I'm just fooling myself if I say I still love you," Kelly cried.
"Forgive me for all the bad luck that happened in your life because of me, I'm sad to hear your decision but I respect it," Adrian replied as he stood up and left in a hurry.
Adrian's chest tightened because he couldn't believe what he heard from Kelly.
"Sir, are we going home?" asked the driver."
"Yes, hurry up because I want to talk to Jhanice.
They found Jhanice screaming and throwing the things outside the house.
"Jhanice! Are you losing your mind?" Adrian snorted angrily.
"Sweetheart! You're here!" replied Jhanice as she rushed to meet her husband.
"What happened to you? Why did you scatter the things inside the house and throw them outside?" Adrian's eyes flashed with anger.
"Babe, you can only love me! Kelly can't take you away from me because I already own you!" Jhanice screamed.
"Why did you put Kelly in a mental hospital? Why did you make it appear to everyone that she was losing her mind? Why were you able to oppress an innocent person who did nothing wrong to you!"
"I love you! I don't want anyone else to take you away from me!" Jhanice shouted.
"You are so bad! I regret marrying you!"
Adrian's voice echoed like thunder.
"Babe, don't talk like that, don't destroy our family! What about the kids?"
"The children? They are not your children because you took them away from Kelly!"
Adrian slammed his fist on the door.
"How many times do I have to tell you that I'm only paying Kelly as a surrogate mother!" Jhanice's cheeks reddened.
"I don't want to hear your made up stories! That's it! Because I already know the whole truth because Kelly and I have talked!"
"You talk her!" Jhanice shouted in her hoarse voice.
"She told me everything about how you and mommy bullied her!"
"You're all mine! She can't take you away from me!"
Adrian noticed that Jhanice was no longer able to talk sensibly because of her constant yelling.
"Get ready because I'm going to get the twins and bring them back to Kelly!"
"No! You can't take them from me!" Jhanice said as she suddenly ran out of the mansion.
Three days passed but Jhanice still did not return to the mansion.
"Jhanice needs to take responsibility for her mistreatment and oppression of Kelly!" Adrian took a deep breath.
A week passed and Kelly started working at K and C Company as a utility.
She wears a royal blue collared top and black slacks as her uniform. While she was cleaning the hallway, someone called her.
"Kelly!" said the man in a familiar tone.
"Archie!" Kelly frowned because she saw Adrian's twin.
"This is where you work?" Archie asked in his respectful tone.
"Why? Are you going to embarrass me in front of everyone because I'm just a lowly utility?" Kelly responded sarcastically.
"I'm sorry, you suspected me wrong, in fact I know you work here because Stephen told me, I approached you because I wanted to ask for your forgiveness because of my wrong treatment of you. I regret why I followed with mommy's orders then to pretend to be Adrian in front of you, I was dazzled by the money. Can you still forgive me?" Archie asked pleadingly.
"Yes, I forgive you because I know your apology is sincere," Kelly replied with a smile.
"Your heart is really kind, thank you very much and I will be relieved now."
"I'm leaving because I'm with uncle now and I'll take him around here, Adrian isn't here now and I'll take his place to help uncle at the Company," Archie patted Kelly's arm.
Kelly finished her work early so she decided to go to her locker to rest there. She was given two hours of breaktime so she made the most of it.
There was a small table near her locker so she sat there.
While pondering, she thought of taking her wallet to look at their family picture when she was little, even though she never met her American father, she still wanted to see him.
"Hi, are you okay here?"
Kelly suddenly dropped the old family picture she was holding when she heard a familiar voice behind her.
"Archie!"
Kelly felt embarrassed to see Archie with an American who she estimated was in his fifties.
"Maybe he's Archie's uncle," Kelly muttered to herself.
"I'm fine here," Kelly said as she tried to pick up the fallen old family picture.
"I'll take it," the man offered.
"Kelly, I'm with uncle, he's the one I was talking about earlier who will visit today," Archie said smiling as he pointed to Mr. C.
Kelly glanced at Archie's uncle.
"Oh! It's embarrassing, I'll take the photo," Kelly said shyly as she grabbed the old photo.
"Are you the baby in this photo?" asked Mr. C while staring at Kelly from head to toe.
"Yes, it's me. They are my parents, my Dad was an American soldier according to my mother, but he never came back, this is the only memory I have of him," said Kelly as she dripped her tears.
"Do you want to see and meet your father?" asked Mr. C while feeling sorry for Kelly.
"Yes, I love him very much and I'm eager to meet him," Kelly replied as she wiped away her tears.
"Don't worry because you will meet him soon."
"I hope Sir, I hope we meet," Kelly said while trying to smile.
"I'm sure he's excited to see his beautiful Princess too," said Mr. C while staring at Kelly.
"Sir, thank you very much for making me feel better."
"Can I hug you?" Mr. C request to Kelly.
Kelly did not think twice and immediately hugged Mr. C.
"Thank you so much for letting me hug you, by the way we have a welcome party next month and I personally invited you so don't miss out," said Mr. C while stroking Kelly's hair.
"Sir, thank you very much for inviting me, you are very kind."
"It's nothing, you're very kind and hardworking so I know you'll have a reward one day," replied Mr. C while patting Kelly's arm.
"Thank you very much for your compliment, it makes me feel better."
"We won't be here for long because I have something important to take care of," said Mr. C while staring pitifully at Kelly.
"Kelly, we're leaving, be careful here," Archie replied.
As the two of them walked towards the office, Archie noticed that Mr. C seemed to be thinking deeply.
"Uncle, are you okay?" Archie asked.
"Help me get two detectives because I want to investigate something," Mr. C sighed.
"Okay uncle, I'll help you."
Mr. C took his cell phone and called Stephen.
"Hello! Uncle, do you need anything?"
"Show me the best hospital here because I have something important to know as soon as possible."
Stephen did not hesitate and immediately brought Mr. C in the best hospital.
While they were waiting for the doctor, Mr. C suddenly asked Stephen.
"How did you meet Kelly?"
"Uncle, I saw her on the road, begging to get in my car but when I inquired about her, she had nowhere else to go so I decided to let her stay at home."
"Is it in the house that your Auntie Helena and I bought for you?" asked Mr. C.
"You're really kind, do you love Kelly?" Mr. C asked bluntly.
"I love her so much and I want to marry her," Stephen answered seriously.
Suddenly, the good and well-known doctor who made an appointment with Mr. C arrived, so Stephen went out first so that the two could have a thorough conversation. When Stephen wandered around, he caught sight of a familiar woman, she was dirty but her beauty was still obvious. He approached her and was surprised by what he saw.
"Janice!" Stephen's eyes almost popped.
"My love! My love don't leave me!"
Jhanice was sobbing and suddenly laughed.
"What happened to you?" Stephen asked confused.
"She's losing her mind," said the man behind Stephen.
"Adrian! What happened to her?"
"I found out all her lies because my memory came back, she couldn't accept that I broke up with her so she lost herself," Adrian replied sadly.
"I hope she recovers quickly," Stephen exhaled.
"She was missing for three days and I finally saw her so I took her to a Psychiatrist to check on her condition."
"What did the doctor say?"
"She needs to be admitted to a mental hospital for her speedy recovery."
"I hope she gets well soon because she has to pay for the way she mistreated Kelly," Stephen said in an angry tone.
"Cousin, I hope you love and take care of Kelly like I love her," Adrian said as he shook Stephen's hand.
"I will love her even more because she is the most important person in my life," replied Stephen.
"Kelly loves you very much and I think you are really destined for each other, I will fix the birth certificate of the children to change Jhanice's name to Kelly, I am sure you will be a good father to our children," Adrian said sadly.
Stephen nodded and smiled at Adrian.
"By the way, the staff of the mental hospital is here to pick up Jhanice," said Adrian as he pointed to the approaching staff wearing white uniforms.
"Good afternoon sir, we're going to get the patient."
Two men approached Jhanice.
"Don't take me, I want to be with the one I love!"
"My love! My love! Where is my love!" Jhanice shouted as she struggled to get away.
"We'll take you to your loved one," said the staff.
"Really? You're going to take me to my love?" she replied while laughing.
Jhanice calmed down and was properly put in the van to the mental hospital.
Meanwhile, Doña Helena noticed Mr. C's coldness towards her.
"Sweetheart, I wish we could go to France to take a vacation," she happily suggested.
"I'm busy today and I have a lot of important things to attend to at the office," Mr. C answered in a cold tone.
"What happened to him? He must be hiding something from me," she whispered to herself.
"Sweetheart, go ahead and rest first, don't pay attention to what I was telling you earlier," Doña Helena said while trying to calm her voice.
Doña Helena had a strong hunch that Mr. C was hiding something from her so she thought of going to the office to find out what Mr. C was up to.
"Good day, Ma'am," the employee greeted Doña Helena.
Doña Helena noticed that most of the employees were busy decorating.
"What are they doing? What are they decorating for?" Doña Helena asked with a frown.
"Ma'am, please forgive me but Sir has forbidden us not to tell anyone about this event," the staff reasoned.
"What?"
Doña Helena was annoyed by the employee's answer to her. She couldn't stand it so she came closer to take a peek and find out what the employees were up to.
"Nice!"
Doña Helena's heart was overflowing with happiness.
"I know why he changed his attitude towards me because he wanted to surprise me," said Doña Helena in a muted tone.
She was happy with what she found out because she knew the surprise was for her.
Doña Helena immediately went to a well-known beauty parlor and had her hair done.
"I need to freshen up so I can look amazing at the coming party," Doña Helena whispered softly as she looked at herself in the mirror.
"Sweetheart, I'm glad you chose me, thank you so much for loving me," Stephen said happily as he kissed Kelly on the lips.
"I'm more grateful because you loved me even though our family was poor, you loved me completely even though you knew my past," Kelly responded while hugging Stephen.
"I will love you no matter who you are and I don't care about your past as long as I love someone I value them," said Stephen as he hugged Kelly back.
"Maybe Adrian is just an instrument for us to get to know each other because I realized that you are the one I truly loved."
"Thank you so much for loving me, I promise to love you more than ever in my life and your children too," Stephen said as he sniffed Kelly's hair.
The most awaited date has arrived, the grandest welcome party.
Doña Helena is overflowing with joy because she knows that Mr. C will surprise her.
"I will soon be the owner of the Company," whispered Doña Helena as she put on her white gown.
"I'm the most powerful person in the Company and I can do whatever I want," she said while dancing in front of the mirror.
Meanwhile, Kelly looked so beautiful in her white gown that she looked like a living barbie doll.
"You are really beautiful like a Princess," Stephen admired her.
"I've known for a long time," Kelly jokingly replied as she placed the earring in her ear.
"Come on, we might be late to the party," Stephen said while holding Kelly's hands.
The employees and some invited guests arrived.
Mr. C stood up and took the microphone. He was dressed in a black tuxedo and his good looks showed despite his age. Kelly and Stephen were sitting near the stage.
"Thank you all for coming I really appreciate it," everyone applauded.
Doña Helena was very happy as she waved to all the guests.
"Everyone will know that I am the sole heir to this company," she happily whispered to herself.
"You may be wondering why this party is so sudden, I just want to let you all know that I have found the sole heir of K and C Company," Mr. C happily announced.
Doña Helena was very happy when she heard Mr C's announcement.
"These employees will hear that I am the only heir to this Company," said Doña Helena in a muted tone.
"I never lost hope of finding my only heir and now I have found her. Because of an old photo she was holding I recognized her and I also conducted an investigation including a DNA test so I could confirm that she really is my only child," Mr. C tearfully announced.
Doña Helena suddenly frowned because she didn't like what she heard.
"It's impossible, he shouldn't have known that his daughter was alive," said Doña Helena nervously.
Mr. C took an old photograph and held it up in front of the crowd.
"I am thankful for this old photo because I have found my one and only heir to my Company," Mr. C proudly announced.
Kelly was shocked by what she saw because the old family picture that Mr. C held was their family picture that she had been hiding and keeping for a long time.
"My daughter, please forgive me for not coming back to you because I have been in a coma for many years due to a car accident," Mr. C said tearfully.
Kelly burst into tears.
"My father! He's coming back!" Kelly said with mixed emotions.
Kelly's tears flowed.
"Sweetheart, what happened to you? Why are you crying?" Stephen asked confused.
"I want to let you all know that my only child is none other than Kelly Sawyer the sole heir to the K and C Company!" Mr. C proudly announced.
"You are Uncle's missing daughter?" he was shocked.
Kelly nodded as her tears continued to flow.
She stood up and approached Mr. C.
"My father, I have a strong feeling that one day I will see you," Kelly said as her heart overflowed with happiness.
"My child, I have not lost hope that one day I will see you," said Mr. C while hugging her daughter tightly.
"My father, I love you very much and I think about you every day," Kelly confessed.
"My daughter, I'm sorry for all the insults and hardships you've experienced, I promise you won't experience it again now that you're the heir to the Company."
Stephen could hardly believe what he witnessed, he didn't think that the woman he used to help and loved was actually the owner of the company he worked for.
"Listen everyone I want you to know that the new manager of K and C Company is none other than my beautiful daughter Kelly Sawyer and I also want to let you know that the meaning of K and C is Kelly and Cody Company," he revealed.
Doña Helena almost went crazy with what she heard.
"I can't accept this! I am the only heir to the company and no one else!" she insisted.
"You've heard it all so don't push yourself!" replied Mr. Cody.
"You shameless woman! Don't take everything away from me! You're just a leech and filthy woman!" Doña Helena angrily exclaimed while pulling Kelly's hair.
"Stop that!" Mr. Cody slapped Doña Helena.
"You're so shameless! Why are you mistreating my daughter? You've known Kelly is my daughter for a long time but why did you put her in jail?" Mr. Cody defended Kelly.
"Sweetheart, don't believe what they accuse me of, I can't do that!" she reasoned.
"You can't fool me anymore, I did an investigation and they got a lot of evidence against you! You are so heartless! You imprisoned my daughter and most of all you made me believe that my heiress was dead! You are so greedy!" Mr Cody's eyes popped in anger.
"I can't accept your daughter and I don't want her under the same roof!" Doña Helena snorted.
"Don't worry because you can't share the same house with her because I've already called the police to arrest you!"
Two policemen suddenly approached Doña Helena.
"Don't touch me! Let go of my hands!" Doña Helena shouted as she tried to break free from the grip of the police.
"The evidence against you is strong, so get a good lawyer," said the policeman.
"Doña Helena, pay for all the bad things you did to me and the false accusations you made against me! Suffer in prison!" Kelly hissed.
Doña Helena was dragged by the police to be put in the patrol car, even Archie and Adrian did nothing because they knew the bad things that their mommy Helena was doing.
"Everyone listen! I'm going to let you know that my only daughter is getting married today!" Mr. Cody announced proudly.
"My father! I'm so happy today because I'm getting married to the man I love and the man who's willing to give up everything for me," Kelly sobbed as she hugged her father.
"I know Stephen loves you so much that I planned all this because I want to see you happy," Mr. Cody confessed.
Suddenly the people applauded and the most magnificent decoration of their wedding unfolded in front of them. There were bridesmaids and groomsmen who approached them.
"They looked beautiful in their green gowns," Kelly said as she marveled at her bridesmaids' elegant outfits.
"My daughter, I want you to be happy on your wedding day and I want you to never forget this day," Mr. Cody said with a smile.
"My father, I will never forget the day I met you."
They both hugged.
Two women came up and gave Kelly a bunch of white roses.
"Come on, the priest and groom are waiting for us inside," said Mr. Cody as he supported Kelly.
"You Kelly, do you accept Stephen as your life partner through thick and thin?" asked the Priest.
"Yes, because I love him so much," Kelly exclaimed.
“You Stephen, do you promise to love and take care of Kelly in times of need and relief?” asked the Priest.
"Yes Father, I will love and take care of her more than my life."
"Okay, you can kiss the bride," ordered the Priest happily.
Everyone who witnessed their grand wedding applauded.
"Long live the newly weds!"
"Long live Stephen and Kelly!" people screamed.
Adrian and Archie approach Kelly and Stephen.
"Congratulations to both of you," Adrian greeted enthusiastically.
"Thank you very much," Kelly replied in a cheerful tone.
"I won't hesitate any longer, Archie and I are going back to America and I will leave our twins with you. I know you will take good care of them and I can make sure that Stephen will be a good father to them," Adrian said seriously.
"Adrian, thank you so much for giving me our twins, it's one of the best gifts I've ever received. Expect to be free to visit them anytime you want to be with them," Kelly said solemnly.
"Why did my Princess cry?" asked Mr. Cody.
"Dad, I'm happy because I can be with my children," Kelly tearfully confessed.
"I'm also happy because I can be with my grandchildren and I have a gift for you Kelly so wipe your tears, I know you'll be happier when you see my gift," Mr. Cody responded excitedly.
Kelly was blindfolded and taken to a room.
"Kelly, you can take off your blind fold," Mr. Cody said happily.
Kelly took her husband's hand and held it tightly before removing the blindfold.
"My mother!"
"Mom! Mom!" Kelly's tears welled up and kept falling.
"Kelly, I'm happy with what happened in your life and I'm glad you met your father," her mother shed tears.
"Thank you, my brothers are here too," Kelly said as she hugged her brothers.
"Kelly, I took them because your step father abused them," Mr. Cody replied.
"Thank you so much dad," Kelly said as she hugged her mother and siblings.
I bought a house for them so they can start over and I'll take care of your siblings' education," Mr. Cody promised Kelly.
Kelly was overflowing with joy.
Since then they lived happily and peacefully.
