Mr Denmark POV

I was confused, I knew I failed Troy .
I knew he grew up believing I died before he was born, I was very sure his grandmother told him that..
I stared at the two boys in front of me, my two sons ..........they were both quiet..
I invited Troy over to the house hoping he would understand me after explaining everything to him....


*. *. *. *

I really loved Lauren , she lit up my world, she meant everything to me but my parent never approved our relationship.
I was the heir to Denmark architectural and she was the daughter to a maid....


I was in college when she told me she was pregnant with you, I was very happy and confused at the same time .I planned eloping with her but my parent later found out
My mother had a weak heart and she begged me not to leave her else she will die. I loved my mother so much so I decided to do as she say ..

I was immediately betrothed to Anna , my father's friend daughter, they were equally rich and my parent believed the marriage will boost our wealth..
I was a coward then,I was not man enough to fight for our love and with my mother constant pleas I travelled out of the country to further my studies..

I gave her the necklace you are wearing before travelling.
It is a rare diamond necklace made specially for you and made her promise to name the baby Troy if it was a boy and Tracy if it were to be a girl..
I promised to come back for her.........



After two years of studying,I came back to the country and the first thing I did was to look for your mother because I lost contact with her but the house was already occupied by another persons.

I asked the neighbours around and I was told Lauren died after giving birth to a baby boy who she named Troy ..
I became devastated.
She kept her promise and named the baby Troy despite me breaking my promise to her..
I tried searching for you and your grandma but I got no news..
I gave up searching after I married Anna and she gave me a baby boy ,Tony .
I was happy once again but was never complete.......


After explaining, I raised my head to look at Troy and then at Tony . I was expecting them to say something but instead, they just stared blankly into space ....
I studied Troy .....
he had my stature and my eyes but apart from that , he took after his mother in everything, Lauren was really beautiful.......

Troy! I called softly and he slowly shifted his gaze to me
please forgive me. I pleaded and he scoffed
Did all this just happen! I mean I can't just believe it . I grew up thinking I had no parent but now my father just showed up and started telling me bullshit.......
I shook my head negatively
It is the truth Troy . I said and he huff
The truth! Fine! Since we are all talking about truth, let me tell you the truth at me own end
  He stood up in a huff
Mr Denmark! I don't need you in my life , you will always remain dead to me! he retorted and then faced Tony
Forget all this brotherly stuff,if I ever see you near Efua I will kill you. he threatened and Tony laughed
Why? she was mine and I need her back .....
Then Try me. he said and stormed out of the sitting room in anger ....
I stared gobsmacked watching my two kids fight because of a girl..
Is he for real! how can he threaten me because of my own girl! Tony retorted panting in anger ......
Big brother my foot! I can't take this , I really can't . He said and stormed out in anger..
This is not how I want my kids to be! This is not how I want them to be .I said and broke down in tears.
This I have never done in a long time .......:


It has really gotten to this , so Troy and Tony are brothers.. I wonder what will happen now.
