Love&war

Family secret

Nigeria

Mr Kingsley's house

What do you mean you did not see her

We searched everywhere sir but we didn't see her

Did you check her apartment?

Yes sir

And her office?

We did sir
But her secretary said she traveled out

Melissa travelled without informing me

We were told she traveled to America to see your brother

Why?

We asked everyone, no one seems to have an idea

That's strange
First she travelled without telling me
Secondly no one has an idea why she took that journey
Look here

Yes sir

I want you to take the next available flight to America
Find my brother, find Melissa and find out why she traveled

Okay sir

Make sure no one knows about it
Make it clean and simple
Keep me inform and make sure I get all the details

Okay sir

You can leave now

America
Henry's Apartment

After what happened I left Nigeria and came here to reside and continue managing my father's company
I left everything my father owned in Nigeria to Kingsley I couldn't go back

What news did you hear dad

I came here met your mum he looked at his children
I was able to settle down soon coz she's from this country
I married her and I became whole again
Although I didn't forget Margret for one's
Her taught lingered in my heart every single day

One day Margret called me and said she wanted to see me that she had a secret and she wanted me to know
I invited her over and I secretly went to met her in the hotel
We missed each other and we both wanted each other badly
We didnt think twice about it, we made love

Dad are you trying to say you were cheating on mum with Melissa mum?

Am really sorry Rita but there are so many things you won't understand

Before Maggie left she broke a news to me that Melissa is my biological daughter

What!!! They all screamed

She took in before I came to America
And she couldn't tell anyone coz she was ashamed of herself
The time she discovered she was pregnant she was already engaged
She didn't know Kingsley is my brother
They met after I traveled and started dating
They dated for a short period and got married
She didn't know anything about my brother until they got married

This is unbelievable
You can't be my father

My brother killed your mother when he discovered she was pregnant again
By that time he discovered he could not father a child

You mean Mr Kingsley couldn't impregnate my mum?

Yes he couldn't
That was why he got upset and killed your mum

Oh my God
This can't be

Mell were are you going to?

I need to be alone

Am sorry for not telling you this

You are sorry? Pointing at Mr Henry
You knew all along and you kept quiet?

Kingsley might have found out and I might be dead by now

I would have kept the secret to my grave
You left me all alone without a mother and a father
And you come out of the blue to claim me
What kind of father leaves his daughter in the hand of a man like Kingsley.
If you really love me, you should have fought for me no mater what it cost (she took her bag and headed to the door)

Melisa kill call out

Melisa banged the door and left, she entered the car and drove off

Am so sorry your witnessing all these Mr kill

It's fine sir

She need time alone dad she will be back

But definitely not today Rita interjected

You can all go to bed
I will sit here and wait for her

I will go get my phone and make a call
Will be right back (kill walked straight to their room)

************
In as much as kill felt pity on Melissa, his mind was divided
He wanted to talk to Anika and the fact that he didn't inform her before travelling makes him worry

What will she be doing by now
Is she okay
I hope she's not worried
What did she eat, he taught to himself as he put his hand in all his cloth pocket in searched for his phone
Unfortunately they were all empty

Oh shit I must have left my phone at home on the dinning table
God what am I gonna do now.

*************
Finally Melisa know her biological father
I hope you love this chapter
Thanks for reading
Love you all
