Chapter 149: Chapter 149

Ellis was mad with his mistress and kids. He tried his best to suppress the fury boiling within him. Is this the recognition they seek?

They want their identity, right? Is this the best way to seek it, by setting him up against his family? His wife detest him now and his son would trample on him.

"Did you realise the implications of what you just did? Did you know that the greatest mistake you would ever make in this life was coming here to find me in the name of wanting to earn your identity?

The best you can ever be and remain is being a mistress. These kids are illegitimate children and can never be reckoned with in the society. They are conceived from the unfaithful act of Adultery.

You just placed a log in the paths of their life achievement. I asked you to wait for me. I told you I am putting things into place.

I would definitely take my kids in eventually. Leah would adopt them and they would bear the identity they now cruelly and violently came to claim.

Leah would be mad with me but if I plead with her, she would forgive me. I know her and know that she would eventually forgive me. Then we'll take the kids in.

But now, since you have brought your miserable selves here, I'm afraid things would take a dirty twist. If I'm to pick between you, Celina and Leah, I'm sure you know who my heart would follow.

And you both, (turning to glance at Maxwell and Arabella) you have just opened a wrestling contest with Louis. Go ahead and fight on the open field you have created for yourselves.

We are going to spend the night in this conference hall. You know why Louis could do whatever he likes, he owns the company.

Hayden's cooperation belongs to Leah. I managed it before her son could be of age. Now, Louis decides what happens here, who gets sacked and who gets promoted or employed.

It is Leah's inheritance from her late father. So if you want your real identity, get ready to taste struggling and hard work. If Louis decided to confiscate all that I own, then you might have to struggle to put food on your table.

You will struggle alone. I won't be a part of it. When you've been able to grow like Leah, then I will think about giving you that identity that you seek" Ellis snorted.

The hidden truth that had remained within the walls of their home, concealed in their hearts is now going to be open. In fact it has become exposed.

He had lived all these years basking in the euphoria of Leah's wealth, assets and investment. Now, the breeze has blown and the cloaca of his hen is open.

Celina Delmark, now seated on one of the executive seats in the hall, swallowed hard. She will have to accept Ellis' blames. A mother will always get blamed for the errors of her kids.

She advised them against this audacious step they were about taking. But they wouldn't, Maxwell to be precise. Arabella was simply following her brother like a chick.

She didn't know that Ellis was living the life that Leah gave him. She didn't know that the good things and comfortable life they lived has its credit to Leah Hayden.

If what Ellis said is true, then they've just been welcome to a new phase of their lives. And this phase would be the toughest they would ever live.

She's certain that things can never return to normal between the couple again. Leah would withdraw everything she's got from Ellis and he would have nothing to offer them again.

Arabella's eyes welled up with tears. Why did she sheepishly follow her brother? All these were Maxwell's ideas. He conceived the idea, plotted the graph and brought her along to execute it.

Now, their mother will be called a home wrecker. They are illegitimate children of her dad. Why couldn't they think it through before taking these daring steps?

Because of them, some employees of the corporation just lose their jobs. They were taken to the police station. They will have to be released only after paying a certain compensation.

Leah Hayden went home with Alyana. The older woman was scared of letting the chauffeur stop anywhere else besides within her gate.

Louis had kept calling and saying she should go home straight. He would send a backup if need be. But first, she should go home and be free from harm's way.

Alyana was worried sick, she doesn't know the state of affairs with the princess. To protect the princess and the little prince was her sole responsibility in staying back.

If anything happens to them, the King would chop off her head and the queen, she would never forgive her. She was fidgeting and Leah sensed her restlessness.

"I'll call Pamela at once" She declared and took her phone. The way this nanny is worried, she would remain restless until she heard a word from Pamela.

"Her phone is with me," Alyana replied. If it wasn't so, she would have called her already. Before Leah could respond to her words, she asked "Can you put a call across to Mr Louis ma'am?"

Leah nodded. She called Louis and he soon responded. Leah asked him where Pamela is and he said she's safe. He had dropped her off at home.

When Alyana heard that, she sighed softly and felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

Alyana remained in Leah's house the entire night. The older woman cried. When she was alone, the reality of all that happened that night dawned on her.

Ellis had been keeping a mistress for many years? How deep is the heart of men? A man she sleeps and wakes up next to, has another family and she never got a glimpse of it?

How can she be so blind, how can she not have seen or suspected anything? When did he have the time to make babies with another woman when he's always by her side?

Ellis, oh Ellis. Her heart is bleeding. It's over, everything is over between them. Their marriage has come to an end. She cannot pretend not to be hurt by what Ellis did.

Neither can she turn a blind eye and remain in the marriage. How can Ellis do this to her?

Leah sobbed the entire night. Meanwhile, before Louis would arrive home, the scandal had already broken out.

Louis Hayden and Fred Meyer in a battle of supremacy over Dr Pamela Grayson, the granddaughter of Tarvan Johnson and princess of Middletown City.

Fred Meyer posted online that Louis Hayden was married to his childhood sweetheart Miranda Alvan and has a daughter with her. The wedding took place in Turkey.

And he is in a love bond relationship with Dr Pamela Grayson and he suddenly sprouts out and competes with him over her.

Louis Hayden was also sometimes suffering from an unstable mind and mental instability. He is a crazy and promiscuous dude. He hides behind fame and power.

He is a filthy wretch. His reputation is tinted with filth. He should stay away from Dr Pamela Grayson or he would tell the world the truth about his mental health…

A lot of comments started coming in. Many started urging him to say the truth. He had been cheated by Louis Hayden. They all knew about the romance and marriage between Louis Hayden and Miranda Alvan.

How can he go after Dr Pamela Grayson again? Could it be true that he is actually promiscuous? Is Hayden's cooperation hiding such a character in its President?

Many urged Fred Meyer to provide evidence that Louis Hayden is suffering from mental instability. If he was, the investors may have to consider remaining with the company or not.

Louis sat up in his study and read all of the comments coming in. Many went to his blog and started calling him out to tell the world his side of the story; otherwise, they would be compelled to believe everything Fred Meyer said.

As if that was not enough, a fresh scandal broke out again…
