Heads turned in the direction the voice came from. Pamela also turned. Initially she was impressed with Louis' utterances. Her eyes went teary at his words.
But hearing a certain person's voice made her shiver. She cannot mistake the voice amidst ten thousand people talking.
How did he get into Hayden's cooperation? Louis wouldn't make the mistake of sending him an invitation. He had tried to ruin their dinner the previous evening and now, he found his way into the company's building.
Louis had invited journalists. They are all present and Fred Meyer wants to create a scene before everyone present. Whatever he said, would be published on social media and the entire city would know he suffered brain haemorrhage.
Louis squinted. He fixed his gaze on the miscreant who walked in uninvited. How did he get in here? Who invited him?
Though staring at Fred Meyer, he could perceive the confusion in the hall. Several people were whispering. A few of them were calm waiting for his response and he doesn't know just how to rebuff his words.
"I knew you suffered severe memory loss for several months. You were engaged to Dr. Pamela but got involved with Miranda Alvan, you fucked her until you planted your seed inside her belly.
You got married to her and publicly renounced having anything to do with her. So explain to everyone here, what kind of severe breakdown led you that far" Fred Meyer asked, wearing a broad grin.
Louis Hayden, don't fuck around with me. If you think you are smart, you are dealing with a master of deceit and cunningness. You should be afraid to contend with me over Pamela .Fred Meyer was saying silently.
Louis from his split vision saw many nods their heads. He knew Fred Meyer wanted to ridicule him. He wants to make him look unfit before the board of directors and shareholders.
"Whatever happens between Miranda Alvan and I or Pamela and I had got nothing to do with the administration of this cooperation. It's our private lives. What I said earlier was to create a friendly environment for Dr Pamela in our midst" Louis changed the subject.
"I just needed to clear the air because Dr. Pamela is my woman. And watch your words next time, there is no way she can be the centre of your life because she's in mine" Fred Meyer passed his message tactically.
Louis passed a glance at Pamela. She really has gotten involved with Fred. There's no way this imbecile could utter such words if he hadn't seen her naked and drill his dick into her.
She couldn't even rebuff him. She cannot stand up against him. This will affect the lives and personalities of his children now and in near future.
"You should watch your words when it comes to Dr. Pamela! I may tolerate your stupidity but if you try to dent the character of my woman and the mother of my kids, I will not leave you with an intact corpse!
You came in here uninvited and you try to sabotage every one's attention with claims that meant nothing but mere scandal.
Everyone listen up, this bastard has been trying hard to bring a clause on my relationship with Dr. Pamela. If you want to affirm his claims, you can do so from Dr Pamela herself" Louis blurted.
The words had hardly left Louis' lips when Four bodyguards came and lifted Fred Meyer off his feet and raised him high into the sky before he ever got a chance to resist them.
He was bundled out like a stack of papers and there was decorum in the conference hall. Louis apologises and the cocktail party begins.
Louis wouldn't let anyone carry Ethan. He kept going around with him, carrying him on his shoulders until the little boy dozed off. Within those times, Ethan already attracted a lot of admirers.
Many took photos with him and his dad while some held his hands and kissed them. He looked attractive just like his father.
Louis looked around and saw his nanny. He beckoned to her and she came over and took Ethan away.
Ellis was meeting new friends and partners. He was in the company of his wife and Louis was talking to investors. Waiters were serving refreshments and the air around seemed lively and sweet.
Louis sighted Pamela talking to a couple and he walked over, crossed his hand around her waist, possessively. Pamela glanced at him and smiled and then continued.
Then suddenly, there was a blackout. The light in the conference hall went out and there was complete darkness everywhere.
Pamela was scared. She turned herself and grabbed Louis tightly, her son. Why is there a sudden light out? This has never happened in years.
"Louis, our son!" That was all Pamela could say. If the likes of Fred Meyer could walk into the conference hall uninvited, it only means anything can happen and her baby is there.
Louis understood. Those three words she uttered, he understood what it meant. Their son needs to be protected. Where is his nanny in the large hall?
Louis held Pamela's hand and was going to go in search of Ethan when a flashlight rested on two people. From their figure, they appeared to be a male and a female.
And behind them is another woman. The two of them kept walking towards the stage, while the woman remained rooted in a spot. Everyone is watching, the flashlight was on them and it's the only source of light in the large hall.
Louis held Pamela and quickly he was able to scan the hall. He knew who the two people were, and he was sure his father must have already known them too.
He remembered where Ethan's nanny stood and he walked towards the direction, snuggling through the people and at the same time, telling them sorry as he passed.
Quickly he arrived there and he whispered to Pamela "What's her name?".
Pamela holding Louis tight said "Alyana!" She was scared. Everywhere was dark except the reflection from the flashlight and the phones everyone was holding.
"Are you there, princess?" Alyana said and came towards the light Louis' turned on from his phone. Louis immediately left Pamela's hands and scooped his son in his arms.
Then everywhere went up in light. First, there was a quick nervous response, many shut their eyes and opened them again while others bent their heads before raising it up again.
When they raised their heads, they saw two young people standing all dressed in leather made jumpsuits and their hands folded across their chest.
"My name is Maxwell Delmark"
"And my name is Arabella Delmark"
"We are Ellis Hayden's best kept secret!" The both of them chorused.
