chapter 4

BRADLY

I dropped Roselyn at school and headed for the  office. My mind was a little  worried  about  her she seemed  disturbed  by mom's  behaviour  earlier  this  morning  and i could not help but  worry. I sat down behind my desk and looked at some files that i had to sign. Tony my assistant  and friend  walked  in "hey big boss . You have a meeting with Mr Boseman  for the new health care center in Malaysia, he will be here in about 15 minutes so be ready all the files and documents  i have gone through  them so just little  talk and we'll  be good" Tony said i just smiled at him and said  thank you before he left  . Hes just cute the dressing  the behaviour  is just amazing  and hard working  too bad he is Gay  otherwise  he would make a great Boyfriend  to my sister Tamara.

Mr Boseman  arrived and we went  over a few details and the test was just laughing  and chatting . Chadwick  and I we have been friends  since high school when he started  his  career  in movie industry  i was more than proud of him. But sadly we had very little time together he was constantly  busy , so was i so anytime we get to catch  up  we would use it to ourselves.  Well as for the health care center he just thought  it would be a great i idea  if we launched  a health care center with almost every  facility we can think of . He is a pure soul to be honest but I just feel bad im a bad person, dark minded  and  very cunning  he does not even know my evil intentions  with my 'sister' he sees us as the perfect  set of kids any parent would want and very caring which i am not. " How is the little  star of your house Lyn, i last met her like 4 years ago she must have grown up to a beautiful  young  lady now and your mom" he said " ohh , that little princess  she is fine i just dropped  her off at her school campus  at Harvard university , im proud to say she is completing  her Business  Administration  degree this year, speaking  of mom she is mmm not okay i think  she hasn't  been  her self lately " i replied  briefly  bringing  my mom's  earlier behaviour  to  mind. Something is definitely  wrong  she must be hiding  something  from me. Anyway not to say i just need to find it out.

" Well its good to hear that , i would  love to meet them sometime  soon  but i really  have to rush i have  an interview  with some TV presenter  about  our movie  Black  Panther so i have  to  go and get ready ill see you around. " He said patting  my sholder with a broad  smile " Wow speaking  of your movie, that was a great  hit , i mean that was just one super successful  movie  i have  ever watched  lately.  My friend  i beam with pride because  of you. But i still feel bad you let me choose this stressful  business  career you could have made a great team you know " i said . He laughed  a little  and said " you and i on the same career  path is a complete  no we would have burnt  the whole US down my friend  , we have different  roles to fill in life and each one suits us perfectly" he said  oohh the philosophical  talk he has always had that since we where kids . 

I was about to say something  when the door suddenly  opened  we all turned  our heads to the door and to find a breathless  Tony rushing in " Brad you have to rush  to  the hospital  now ,i got a call from Theresa  your maid she said your mom collapsed  and she is at the hospital  as we speak" he said in a hurry .What mom collapsed hospital.  Only those three words sunk in before i grabed my phone wallet and car keys rushing out. I had to sprint to the elevator. I got there and remembered  the VIP  elevator  was under renovation  so i had  to take the common  one. I waited there watching  the  red numbers count slowly  and i was becoming  impatient  by every count. When it finally turned  green and the doors  opened  i was so fed up and angry. Three young men  stepped  out and before they  walked  away i barked  " you are fired!!" How can they use the elevator  when i needed  it in a hurry and where are they coming  from at this hour its way past tea break time and they are chatting  and laughing  like they dont have work to do. I press  ground floor and waited as i watched  the  numbers  count down. If elevators  had accelerators  i would  have  definitely  hit it without wasting  time. When it reached the ground floor i rushed to my car and drove out like a maniac

I could  barely  see  the traffic  light signals i just drove  through  them.  When i got to the Hospital  i  jumped out of my car leaving  it for Tony coming  in the car behind to park it carefully.  I got to the reception  desk my hand shaking  " Savannah Evans" the nurse looked at me hesitantly  and replied " 4 floor room number  368A " she replied  scared of my tone. I rushed to the elevator  only to find its not working . Darn it. " the nurse  from  the reception  came towards me and said " Im afraid  sir you are going to have to use the stairs. The other elevator  is being  used already and this one is being repaired  it was faulty " she said and walked away. Wasting  no time i rushed to the stairs and started running  up. I barely felt tired or any fatigue  when i got to the  forth floor. I searched  for room number 368A . There found it . I  tried to lightly  knock on the door but  i guess  i used too much strength  and it came out very loud. A male doctor walked out and faced me . Looking  at my face he could probably  tell i was nothing  but  calm. " Savannah  Evans" i said breathlessly  " He looked  at me and blinked a couple  of  times  " I said Savannah  Evans " i yelled " Please calm down and follow me sir" he said before  walking  into an office  i assumed  was his. " Mr Evans please take a seat and have a glass of water." He said offering  me one. Ohh i definitely  needed  this one . Phew i sat on the chair and took the glass from his hand and gulped  it down. " Mr Evans i.. i need you to calm down a little  before i talk to you. Please relax. And are you here alone" he asked " Umm no , my friend  ishere with me he is on his way up i think. " i replied  a little  calm this time.He got up and left and when he came back he was with Chad and Tony " Chad sat on the chair next to me and looked at the doctor." Ok. So Mr Evans im am afraid and heartbroken  ti break  this news  to you but your mother was suffering  from  cancer. We had helped her undergo  a number of treatments  in the past few months but when we got the solution  to her problem  she refused to continue  taking treatment. You  had her blood type but unfortunately  she was adamant  that we do not get bone marrow  from you for treatment  and  she gave up. She came  in for check up two months  ago  and that was last time she came for treatment  . Her cancer had reached  the last stage and she had almost  a few more days left Unfortunately  she collapsed  today and im afraid  that was her last. She is no more.His words echoed  in my head like dream i sat there and a tear slipped  my left eye. Chadwick  was shocked  but gathered  himself and embraced  me . I wanted to cry but i couldn't. I walked out  of the room and walked into the room she was kept. I lifted the sheet that covered  her face and looked at her . "WHY MOM WHY !!!!!" I yelled  hitting  her chest  hard. A tear slipped  my eye first until they started  rolling  down my eyes without  control.  I cried for a while and left the room.Chad was gone when i came back " Where is Chad Tony?" I asked gathering  myself " He had to go and cancel his interview  for tonight ha said he will be back in a few hours"

Theresa  was here when i came out " Roselyn " I muttered  thinking  about how she would feel if i did not put  myself together.  " Dont worry sir i have  called her school and told them to tell her" She said " Are you insane dont you think  before you act she is at school amd no one is capable  of  comforting  her there then why did you tell them" i yelled . Ohh gosh  I wanted to break the news to her myself and help her but she aghhhh.

I quickly  rushed  out of hospital Tony was after me. He gave  me the car keys " Get all the paper work done . Arrange for the funeral  service  and everything  I need to find Roselyn " i said walking  and getting  into my car. Knowing Rose  ahe must have left school with an unclear head goibg nowhere. I rushed tk the school  ans the guard told me she left and went down the road . I drove down the road looking  for her following  the location  of her phone i had tracked.  I saw bunch of kids and that was the destination.  I walked  up to them and found them in possession  of Roselyn's bag " Where  is the owner  of that bag" i asked not caring  about  the bag or het stuff  they had taken  i just needed  to  find her. "She's  in the alley near the end  of the road" ine of them replied before they ran away . I  ran  to the alley and found her lying  on the ground.  She must have passed  out or fallen  asleep  whilst  she  was  crying. I took my coat off  and covered  her before i lifted  her small frame . She tried to wake  up "Its ok princess,just sleep , ill take care of you" i said  calmly  and took her to my car. I took her to my penthouse ,changed her clothes and laid her in bed . I instructed  Sasha to take care of her while i went tk finalize  my mom's  burial  papers and other stuff.  She is going  to  find out one way or the other that we are not siblings.  But until then i will slowly reveal  this to her.

Savannah  was  not our mother but our nanny. She had picked her up in an alley. I was not An Evans . Savannah  had been left to take of us by my parents  when they where  murdered when we were  kids.

I was not Bradley   Evans  I was thee Andreas  Andersen  .

She was Roselyn  Evans since nannynamed her when she found her as a baby in an alley.

And  we all used Nanny's name for safety.

She will eventually  know i never worked  at AA company  but i actually  owned it.

The rest i will  tell her as time goes. That too includes my feelings  for   her.

OMG. I cant believe  i could type such a long chapter . Anyway thanks for checking  out  my story. Please share and jit the cute star down there. You can tell me what you expect  or want  from the book I'll  appreciate  your comments . Thank you.

Love
