How was he supposed to know what happened when he was born? He looked around and sighed. But he is Leah and Ellis' son, no one did an exchange when he was born.
Meanwhile, Leah continued "If you hadn't looked like Ellis, I would at this moment assume you are not his son as well. But if you think I am your mother, you wouldn't have supported your father's illicit affairs with a mistress.
You have acted unconcerned that your father is keeping a mistress and has kids with her. You have known all these years and went mute?
And you blame me that I split you and Pamela? Are you qualified to accuse me of that? Even if you are not my biological son, I raised you, Louis!
You suckle my breast and I carried you in my heart from the moment you opened your eyes to this world. I love you more than anything else in this world. And this is the way you treat me, Louis?" Leah demanded.
Louis couldn't retort back at his mother. He hadn't known for years. He had only known about it when he recovered his memory. There is nothing he was interested in other than getting his fiancée back.
"I haven't come to cause a rift between you and your son. These are Ellis' kids as well and they want their father's recognition. They only want to be known as Hayden exactly as Louis is known and called…" Celina Delmark was explaining when Louis blurted.
"Just shut the fuck! I don't want to hear a word from you again. I will make sure you won't forget the fact that you brought yourself here tonight" Louis warned.
"Don't you dare threaten me, boy" Celina Delmark cautioned. Who the hell does he think he is to threaten her? She's not in any way inferior to his mother.
"And if I do, what will you do, huh? Turn my Father against me just as you succeeded in turning him against my mom? Just tell me what the hell you can do?" Louis snapped at her.
Pamela pouted her lips. What on earth is wrong with this mistress? Is her brain functioning well at all? Does she think from her head or from between her legs?
She just created a rift between a couple and in extension, their son. And she still finds the lips with which to make utterances? This is shameless, absolutely shameless.
This woman ought to have run out and gone and drowned herself in the lagoon. This would have been better for her than still holding her shameless shoulders high.
"Louis, be calm" Ellis spoke to his son for the first time since this whole rancour began. He should be calm and let things go peacefully.
Leah glanced at her husband. This is not her Ellis. She can't withstand the fact that he could take sides with his mistress against their son. He is a cheater with class.
She walked briskly out of the conference hall. She cannot stand it to remain there and listen to the senseless utterances from these two lovers. She needs to retain the last bit of sanity she has left in her.
"And if I don't calm down, what will you do, dad? Your mistress lost her senses and you tell me to be calm? Like seriously dad, should I be calm?
This woman walked in through that door with her born by mistakes and the only thing you can say is that I should calm down?
Look at my mother! Did you see the emotional trauma you and this shameless woman had put her through? I will ruin your children, dad. I will see that they prefer never to have been born than to have a father like you…" Louis thundered.
"Louis! You won't do anything irrationally. I will talk to your mom. You should learn to accept this fate" Ellis coaxed.
"Don't even tell me that. You knew what you did was wrong. You choose this path yourself, life didn't throw it at you. This is not fate, this is the outcome of your decision.
You cheated my Mom. You have illegitimate children and you still have the courage to speak out? Do you know that our family just disintegrated because of these illegitimate seeds you have allowed to grow in another woman?
You know me, dad. I will pull down an entire roof to protect those I love. And this is what I will be doing for my mom. I will see that your children never taste that identity they sought!" Louis declared.
Pamela walked over and handed Ethan to his dad "I need to find Aunt Leah. Look after your son" she said, shoving the baby into his dad's arms.
Louis took his son and looked at his eyes, he was awake. He glanced up at his dad quietly and snuggled into his arms deeper. He was happy, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Pamela turned and went through the door that Leah took. She looked around and discovered there was no elevator there. It then means she's in one of the offices.
Louis went to the phone and summoned the securities. In no time, two securities came up and Louis glared at them with fury.
"Where were you when these three nuisances walked through the gate to disrupt my party? How dare you let them in?" He thundered.
The men shivered. It's an offence to be found incompetent in your place of work. It means they are joking about the security standards of the company.
"We are sorry sir. The woman said they are Mr Ellis' family and provided us with evidence" one of the men explained.
"My life and the lives of everyone here was toyed with because a random woman claimed to be Ellis Hayden's family? And you let them in without my consent?
How much were you paid to betray the value and trust placed on you? You all on this evening shift have been fired and you must pay compensation to get free from jail" Louis declared.
The two men went on their knees and Ellis just stared on. There was nothing he could do to salvage the whole situation.
Romeo walked in. Louis ignored the men pleading and instructed "Have the police arrest the securities on duty this evening and have my secretary prepare their sack letters.
Send a memo to the head of the security units to come over immediately with his men and ensure all the elevators are locked except my personal elevator…" Louis dishes out information to Romeo.
He turned to his father "You and your mistress will spend the night in this hall. Your children will also join you both" he ordered and turned around with his son.
He must find his fiancée and his mother immediately. They must leave with him at his elevator. Just before stepping out, Ellis asked "Did you know I am your father?
You are shutting me behind in the company overnight? Are you crazy, Louis?" Ellis demanded.
"I have forgotten that you are my father. But you should remember that I am the CEO of Hayden's cooperation and my instructions are laws that must be obeyed" Louis responded and walked away arrogantly.
"Dad…" Arabella called and Ellis snapped at her "shut up!"
Louis found his mom sobbing profusely and Pamela holding her hands, both women sat on the floor. The older woman couldn't control her tears but the younger one just stayed calm, allowing herself to relieve herself with her tears.
Louis felt his heart break into several shreds by the sight of his Mom's tears. He would punish his dad and his mistress.
First he was the one, now his dad. Are they destined to hurt their women? Women who love them unreservedly? He and his dad are beasts having the flesh of men…
