CHAPTER 85
THE WILLIAMS**
Iris got in the house while pushing Peggy on her wheelchair. Well Peggy got discharged today from the hospital after she fainted yesterday and the doctor said to avoid telling her anything that can cause shock to her.
“Hungry?” Iris asked.
“No” Peggy said simply looking down.
Iris looked at her mother and sighed. She hugged her and kssed her hair.
“We need to be strong mom. I’m sure Valentina wouldn’t want us to be like this” Iris said.
Peggy forced a short smile and nodded. Iris broke the hug and smiled.
“I need to pee, will be back” Iris said and went upstairs to her room.
She closed the door and leaned back on it, closing her eyes. She opened it back to see the portrait of her, Valentina and their mother. The day of Iris’s fifth birthday.
“Can’t believe you left us so soon..without even saying goodbye” Iris said.
She brought out her phone and put it on. It was Gavin’s photo that showed since she used it as her wallpaper.
“And you’re still unreachable… I hope you’ll stick to your promise,, cause I’ll do so” Iris said and kept her phone aside, entering the bathroom.

THE BAXTER**
Charlotte walked in her room and fell heavily on the bed. Well, the funeral ended not long ago so everyone went their way.
“This is so sad… I really feel for their family” Charlotte said.
“Baby?” Mr Baxter popped his face in her room.
“Dad” Charlotte sat up and smiled..
“How you doing? And why you wearing black? Did someone die?” Mr Baxter asked.
“You’re not aware? The whole country knows that Mrs Valentina Thornton is déad” Charlotte said.
“Huh?” Mr Baxter ached his brows.
“Yeah..” Charlotte sighed.
Mr Baxter was just surprised. Its not been long ago, he warned Ricardo to protect her and now he’s hearing that she’s dè.ad. This is just…
“I honestly didn’t know, maybe I should start getting interested in the social media.” Mr Baxter said.
“Today was her burial day”
“I didn’t even go. Guess tomorrow I’ll go pay my homage to the bereaved family” Mr Baxter said.
“I’ll take you to them dad” Charlotte said while Mr Baxter just nodded.
He kinda really understands Ricardo’s pain right now. It is really painful to loose someone you love in such a way…He’s been there.

RICARDO’S MANSION**
Ricardo was sitting in the living room, sipping on a glass of wine while staring into space.
He kept reminiscing on the beautiful memories they had together and that made him smile at the same time it pained him even more..
He filled back his glass and continued drinking in silence. Well Minnie is sleeping while Myles, he’s in his room..
“Sir?” A maid called.
He looked up to her with a cold gaze.
“The lunch is ready.” She said.
“Alright, go get the twins so they could eat. I don’t have the appetite” Ricardo said and looked front.
The maid bowed and left. He continued with what he was doing till another maid came to him.
“Boss, someone wants to see you” She said.
Ricardo furrowed his brows, wondering who it is.
“Let the person in” He said and poured the last liquid in the glass.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching and then the footsteps stopped abruptly.
“Cardo..”
Ricardo tightened his grip on his glass when he heard the voice of the person. He took another sip of his drink.
“Hope you’re happy with what you’ve done” Ricardo said.
“What did I do?” Evelyn furrowed her brows.
Ricardo chuckled without looking at her.
“Don’t act stvpid Lyn.. You’re the one responsible for my wife’s de.ath” Ricardo said.
“Me?! Of course not.. I’m here to pay my condolences to you” Evelyn said walking closer to him.
“If you take one step closer, I swear I’ll kll you with my bare hands” Ricardo warned, still not looking at her.
“Guess it was a bad idea acting all friendly. Anyways, hope you remember tomorrow is the last trial..the judge will decide who should keep the kids” Evelyn said.
“Yeah”
“Prepare to loose coz I’m never backing down Ricardo. It’s just so sad that you hàte me.” Evelyn said and began walking closer to him.
“Look Ricardo, if you can just stop this hatred maybe we can come back together. The kids now need a mother at such stage in life and I…”
She made to place her hand on his shoulder. Ricardo broke the empty bottle of wine and with the broken bottom, he swiftly turned and shoved the bottle in her arm.
“Argggghhhh!!!!!!” Evelyn screamed and her blood run down her arm.
“You’re lucky, I was aiming for your fking head. Next time you’ll show your face in front of me to talk sht about peace I won’t miss you. You declared a huge war against me the day you messed with the woman I cherish the most in this world and I won’t stop till I wipe off your clan… Harper!!” Ricardo said with eyes full of anger and hatred.
Evelyn held her bleeding arm as she glared at Ricardo. Deep down, she knew that he meant each and every words he said.
She hissed loudly and stormed out of the area. Ricardo heaved loudly trying to calm down himself.
He brought out his phone to make a phone call..

LONDON**
“This hairstyle is already too common.. what fits me best?” Caleb asked.
Gavin kept pressing his phone, not even sparing him a word. Well he got himself a new phone but to get back his contact was now another question.
“Hey! I’m talking to you!!!” Caleb said, turning to him.
“You sure you want my advice?” Gavin asked.
“Yeah!”
“This!” Gavin showed him an example inside the book he held.
“F*ck you man! You man me to cut off all my hair!! Bald style?!” Caleb said.
“What? It will fit you perfectly. You have an egg shaped head so its gonna look really cute. Don’t forget to shave your brows too so you’ll look like a complete egg” Gavin winked.
“You..” C-K just shook his head.
The door to the saloon opened with Bianca walking in with a smile.
“Finally found you boys!” Bianca said.
“Wassup Bianca?” Gavin smiled.
“I’m good. Hey! How about we go have fun. There’s a competition going on nearby where we go all freestyle” Bianca said.
“Really?” Gavin and Caleb asked.
“Yeah! Maybe I’ll showcase my vocals there” Bianca smiled.
“And my talent of rapping. Maybe I’ll come back for the haircut…music comes first” Caleb said, standing up.
“Alright.. Come on pretty let’s go!” Gavin smiled, walking out of the saloon.
“He called me pretty” Bianca blushed.
“Hmm… Better come back to earth coz he has a girlfriend already and she’s cuter than you” Caleb said, leaving.
“That’s not fair bro!!” Bianca exclaimed, following them..

NEXT DAY, THE COURT**
“I hope we win” Myles said.
“Me too” Minnie said.
Lately, she talk rarely. She talks only when a question is asked to her.
They opened the door showing them they can come in. They all walked in and took their seats.
Everyone were present except Peggy and Iris due to Peggy’s condition..
The jury waited till everyone was seated before proceeding.
“So it has been judged and a conclusion was drawn.. Mr Ricardo Thornton and Miss Evelyn Harper, you two will have to share custody of the children” The jury said.
“What?! That’s pure sht!!” Ricardo exclaimed standing up.
“Sir, I suggest you keep your voice down. That’s the best decision since your wife which was supposed to act as a mother figure isn’t longer there and the children needs to have a mother figure in their life”
“Miss Harper will get to keep the boy while Mr Thornton will keep the girl and each weekend, you switch them just for the weekend” The jury said.
“What?! No.. I don’t want to live with her” Myles shook his head, almost at the verge of tears.
Myles looked at Minnie who was looking at him sadly too. So now, they’re gonna be separated.
Ricardo folded his hand tightly in anger. He looked sideways, glaring at Evelyn who held a mocking and victorious smile on her lips.
She stood up and left…

THE WILLIAMS**
“Mom, the doctor said you shouldn’t stress yourself too much” Iris said when she saw that Peggy already stood up from her wheelchair.
“Dont sorry baby. I’m fine, I’m a strong woman” Peggy smiled.
Iris smiled and nodded.
“I wonder how the trial will be?” Iris wondered.
Suddenly, they heard the doorbell.
“Let me get it. I think it’s the pizza I ordered” Iris said.
“No, let me get it. Just rest, you’ve overworked yourself for me” Peggy said and kssed her forehead before going to the door.
She held the door knob and turned it open…
“Good mor…” Peggy paused slowly as she felt all color drain from her face at who she saw.
Mr Baxter who was discussing with Charlotte turned back when he heard the door open. He froze instantly at who he saw. He couldn’t believe his eyes..
“Peggy?” He said in disbelief.
Peggy’s hand flew to her heart which was already aching due to the shocking visit she is getting ..
“Ga…Gael”
