Mrs Frederick's POV.
That morning Mr Brooks handed himself over to the police. Not before giving me the details about his children but what he revealed about his brother is still a shock.
I went in to my statement and also queried by my superiors when I got to the office. To prevent public harassment I was suspended for two weeks. My husband saw it as a blessing in disguise just because he wants me to come on a cruise ship with him, though it's for business purposes he was happy.
" I might as well go back to the manor, grandpa will be excited to have me around" I told my husband.
" You dare" he asked smirking
" Yes I dare you Mr chairman" I placed my hands on my hips and told him but my actions only made him to chuckle.
" You look so adorable my love" but I still remained in that position but stamping my right feet, he took his phone to video my actions.
" I can imagine my little angel doing same in few years" he said but I rolled my eyes
" I've told you earlier before that it's a prince and not...umm" he sealed my lips with his. " You can refute me in other aspects but not on this issue darling" he said after a breathless kiss.
DANIELLA BROOKS POV.
When I got closer to whomsoever was seated on the wheelchair the voice made me stop in my tracks.
" Don't come closer than you're" I will never forget the voice that always sang for me whenever I cried, the voice that always supported me when am down and encouraged me to stand up again. How is it, that I hear that voice again, is this heaven healing my wounds? I took closer soft steps. Then noticed an ice cave but there was someone in it, upon closer look I fell on my knees in tears. Tears that I refused drop for over fifteen years, I wept for my mum and also for the man seated before me whom I never expected to see again in this life time.
" Did you waste all these years for nothing? What are your training in the military and the underworld. I don't want to see those tears else you can go back same way you go in never to return again" he said unemotionally
" Dad I missed you so much and mom why's she not resting" I said
" There are two bedrooms upstairs, get some rest" he said instead not allowing me to touch him.
"D..da.d" I stammered but he didn't reply. I forced myself to go upstairs, I immediately slumped on the floor crying again and never realized I dozed off. I dreamt of my childhood with my parents, how I told them I'll be an Olympic star in both swimming and gymnastics and also the world most renowned ballet. It felt so really that I thought everything that happened after was a dream. I felt the presence of my father telling me he's sorry for everything and he never wished for any of these to happen.
" I will be here, when ever you want to see me or your mom you are always welcome. I won't leave your mom here, that's why your uncle was captured alone, it would have been the both of us in jail but I had to take care of your mom, she took the bullet meant for me. She was five months pregnant, the doctors were able to operate on her to save your little sister. She completed her months in the incubator, she's a replica of your mom. Take care of her and your cousins and when am gone I want to be by your mom. By then you lay us both to rest. Everything you see here are all yours and your sister's, the pin to all my cards is your birthday, and your mom's own has been changed to your sister. I have fought and won battles, for the treasure of the mountain your grandparents were killed. I don't regret any of these but you should not embark on such journey, you can choose to remain in military if you want but you should make sure the Brooks continue. All my assets is in your sister's name hand it over to her when she's off age, but you have all the treasure to yourself my pearl" he said and kissed my forehead, all through I didn't say anything neither did I open my eyes nor moved. When he wheeled himself out I opened my eyes but my tears betrayed me, breakfast was brought up but I've lost my appetite. By noon I dressed up to a set of clothes from the walk-in closet then went out. I saw my dad still seated before the ice cave and walked up to him
" I heard all you said and I promise not to do other wise, I'll always love you and mom no matter what. You have your reasons for what you did and I won't judge you or uncle anymore, am sure he's been sentenced today or so. Mom is gone but uncle has taken the fall, why don't you go see him for the last time, he said, he got short time left". I told him
" You should eat before leaving, if you got time you can come during the weekend so you meet with your sister, she has wished to see you". He said now facing me, I got emotional and ran to hug him placing my head on his thighs, after some time he pats my back. " Hope you are not the crying army" he asked bringing smile to my face. " No am not" I said to him before stepping out of the mountain, outside it looks nothing compared to the beautiful inside it, will be difficult for one to know it holds billions of treasure inside of it. When I got back inside my dad's study the was a knock on the door, I opened up but was stunned.
