"It wasn't mean because I told her several times that I didn't like her but she was always being too clingy.

She became Ethan's best friend to get close to me and I wasn't been mean to her instead I was just trying to make her see reality but she refused.

I do regret it now when I think she died because of me" Fredrick sad sadly

"Actually Fredrick I am the one to blame because when I found out what she did, I got really angry and confronted her then I said alot of mean things to her and after that, I never saw her again" Ethan said sadly.

"It was neither of you guys faults, Damon is the one to blame for all these and he has to pay"

"Of course baby and I'm going to make him pay" Fredrick assured and after a long sillence, Gold decided to ask

"Baby, your dad and Ethan's were enemies but you guys ain't why?"

"Maybe because we were as kids" Ethan answered

"I never saw you as the enemy Ethan but you did" Fredrick said.

"Maybe I did. Well because my dad always liked Fredrick and he didn't like me that much. Fredrick was smart and he thought I was a joker so he didn't take me serious even though my mom tried to talk him out of it several times but he didn't listen.

As we grew, Fredrick and I started fighting and arguing and the hatred I had then grew but despite being a cold fish, Fredrick still cared about me, he too hated what my dad was doing but I didn't care because I thought he was actually enjoying it" Ethan said.

"I'm sorry" Ethan apologized to Fredrick

"It's fine, I've gotten over it" Fredrick said nodding his head.

"But you really should stop calling me a cold fish you know?"

"I think I like the name cold fish" Gold said but he frowned.

"Don't call me that" Fredrick warned.

"I will" Gold insisted as she joked with him

"Don't baby or I'll fuck you real hard and give you an orgasm overdose" he said in a whisper and she gasped because he meant it. 

"You pervert" Gold said but Fredrick chuckled at her words.

"Your choice" he said with a smirk

"So how did you guys patch things up?" Gold continued with her session of question and answer

"Mother did all of that and she was like you both don't need to fight you know.

You both have your own potentials and you guys both make a fine team. Fredrick is the brain while you Ethan execute the plan" Ethan said proudly

"Wow your mom was great" Gold commended

"Yeah she was my superhero"

"That was how it has always been and after that we became close again and dad had to apologize for almost destroying our family" Ethan concluded.

"But do you know that you are Fredrick's first love?" Ethan said and Gold blushed when he said that. 

"Really?" Gold asked unbelievably.

"Shut up Ethan, who asked you" Fredrick frowned at him

"You know I won't" Ethan said and all of a sudden the door opened

"Hey guys" Esther and Ella giggled as they walked into the sitting room.

"Finally" Ethan whispered in relief

"So where is it?" Gold asked

"Right here" Esther said handing over the flash to Fredrick.

He collected the flash drive and inserted it into his system then a folder appeared on the laptop and the folder had just two files which was actually a video and the other one they have no idea what it was.

"Just a video?" Ella muttered.

"How about we find out what's the content of the video first" Ethan said as he rolled his eyes and stared at Ella who in turn blushed at the eye contact. 

"Okay, these two look cute together" Esther whispered to Gold and they smiled

Fredrick clicked on the play button and the video was set in motion with a man's face who they assumed to be the doctor popping out of the screen.

"Is that the doctor?" Ella muttered and Ethan made a keep quiet sound. 

"Hi I'm Doctor Bright and if you are watching this video, I believe it will be in the right hands. I did some really evil things which I regret but I also did it to save Mike. Mike is not my son but the son of Fredrick Majesty and Jolly Barnabas.

Jolly was kidnapped by Damon, the uncle to Fredrick and during those period, I was the doctor who treated her. I was too scared and I couldn't tell the police about it because how on earth was I supposed to fight against Damon"

"Damon wanted to kill both mother and child when he found out she was pregnant but I pleaded with him not to that I would take the child to a very far away country.

He them ordered me to kill Jolly after childbirth and I did all I could to save her but she died while birthing the child.

She was just sixteen and and she needed an emergency C-section to birth her child but I was no gynaecologist but a neurosurgeon and Damon knew that so I pleaded with him to take her to the hospital but he said it was better if they both died as that was what he had earlier wanted.

Despite not being a gynaecologist and also being short of surgical instruments, I operated on her without an anesthesia. I did want to give her an anesthesia but Damon took the one I had with me and he enjoyed hearing her scream in pain and there was really nothing I could do as I was in a place full of armed men and doing anything stupid would have led to my death.

It was a painful procedure but I was able to get the child out of her successfully then she named him Mike and after few minutes, she gave up the ghost afterwards" The doctor said as he cried and Ella felt like crying as well.

Gold didn't know that she was crying until she felt Fredrick's finger wipe away the tears from her eyelids and she saw hi fist tighten then she knew he was angry. 

"Well, he had every right to because that was his baby mama" Gold said inwardly

"After the death of Jolly, Damon wanted me to destroy all evidence of his and he also planted fake evidence just to nail Fredrick for the murder of Jolly but I have proff. Attached to this file is the audio recording of my conversation with Damon and I pray this gets to Fredrick so he can get justice for that sixteen year old girl and his son Mike" The doctor said and the screen suddenly went blank.

"Damon is surely gonna pay for this" Fredrick swore

"I know right but I can't believe he did that to Jolly and made her go through all that pain" Ethan muttered and it was obvious that he was pained by what happened to Jolly.

"This is so painful. I can't believe she had to a C-section without an anesthesia. I can't imagine the pains she went through for a sixteen year old" Esther facepalmed herself.

"I don't think I'd want to give birth after this" Ella muttered 

"Wait what? Are you serious?" Ethan asked getting irritated by what she said.

"No way, I'm kidding I love children" Ella said and Ethan heaved a sigh of relief.

"You shouldn't joke with something like that?" He warned.

"What? scared that I might ask the doctor to take out my womb so I won't have to go through the pain of childbirth. You know I'm actually thinking of that" Ella said with a grin and Ethan frowned at her 

"It's not funny"

"Whatever"

"What about the audio recording?" Gold asked drawing their attention.

"Yeah, that's right" Fredrick remembered and played the audio and it was all the plot Damon had with the doctor including  her painful childbirth as her screams could be heard from the background and she was yelling Fredrick's name.

"Sir, she can't push the baby so she needs to undergo an emergency C-section" Dr Bright said to Damon

"Ain't you a doctor? Why don't you perform the operation" Damon asked laughing wickedly.

"I'm a neurosurgeon not a gynaecologist so she needs to go to the hospital"

"A doctor is a doctor and one more thing she won't be needing any anesthesia" Damon said and Dr Bright passed for a moment. 

"Give that back else how on earth am I supposed to operate on her without an anesthesia" Dr Bright asked

"Bright do as you are told you know the mother has to die and I don't care if the child dies too. Do the contrary and you get a bullet in your brain" Damon threatened

"Be a good girl Jolly, you should have known better than to get involved with Fredrick but it's very sad that your death will be a painful one" Damon said to Jolly who was in pain

"ahh.... I don't want to die so please take me to the hospital" Jolly screamed as she wondered why they were so mean?

"Not your choice to make young lady so Bright, begin with the C-section" Damon ordered and the next thing they heard were screams and cries and it was obvious that they were cutting her stomach then Fredrick couldn't bear it anymore as he stood up slammed the laptop shut.

"I'm sorry" Gold muttered

"It wasn't your fault baby, It was my fault that she went through all that pain because of me"

"It's not your fault Bro, Damon did all of that so he has to pay.

She was my best buddy how could he treat her that way" Ethan said sadly

"Damon should better prepare for what's coming his way" Fredrick said but as he raised his head up, he saw Mike descending the stairs.

"Mike" Gold called and he ran towards her

"Good  morning everyone" Mike giggled as he hugged her.

"Mummy you look sad and daddy too and uncle Ethan, What happened?"

"You must be hungry champ so let me go tell the chef to serve the table" Gold said but Mike was quick to interrupt.

"Why do you always like changing conversations mum especially when your don't want to answer? Anyways, I'll go ask daddy then because he will tell me" Mike said to Gold but she quickly interrupted him.

"Hey kid, you don't talk like your age and sometimes I wonder if this was how your dad behaved when he was young" Gold said to him playfully but Fredrick casted a frown at her on his face.

"We are all fine Mike so there's no need to worry your little brain" Ethan said to him.

"Uhh, my brain is not little" Mike said touching his head and they all laughed.

"At least I made you people laugh" Mike grinned

"He looks like he also took after Asher" Fredrick whispered to Gold.

"It seems he did" Gold nodded in agreement.

"Daddy. I wanna go to the beach because It's really boring staying home" Mike said to Fredrick who noded positively

"OK then the beach it is"

"Yeah" Mike giggled.

                    DAMON 

Damon paced round the room in various thoughts because he  just watched the video on the net and people were really pouring insults on him.

"This would ruin my reputation. How could Austin be this stupid? He ruined the plan completely. I should never have entrusted such an important thing to him because It's obvious he took after his mother brains, he's just as stupid as she is.

"Dad" Damon turned to see Austin in his room.

"What happened to all the money in our account?" Damon asked impatiently..

"Fredrick is behind it" Austin said but Damon immediately slapped him.

"You scumbag, how could you be this stupid? I entrusted something important to you but you ruined the plan completely"

"Dad I'm sorry but It's not my fault" Austin lamented

"Oh so now it's my fault. Do you know what this means? It means we are poor and Fredrick will have the upper hand now and I might end up going to jail for this.

You are just so dumb, dumb like your mother" Damon insulted the already provoked Austin

"Leave mother out of this" Austin warned.

"How dare you speak back to me? Your sister is better than you" Damon said harshly to him.

"You know I hate it when you compare me to her"

"But that's the truth. Now get out of my face because you are useless to me now. 

"You know what dad, you are the useless one here because at least I'm not the one going to jail. Why don't you run back to your slutty daughter?

That's what you always do when there is a problem" Austin said rudely to his father.

"How dare Austin? I am still your father, remember you are illegitimate..." Damon was about saying but Austin interrupted him.

"Yeah dad, keep slamming it to my face that I'm illegitimate. I don't think you love me at all"

"What the hell are you saying? I favour you more than I do to your sister, I let you run the family business despite the fact that you are unfit to manage my businesses now how dare you say it to my face that I don't love you?" Damon said emotionally and Austin felt bad.

"I'm sorry dad" He apologized while Damon noded his head in disbelief

"I will punish you later because I cannot be defeated by Fredrick" Damon said determined to his son.

So what do you intend to do hence Fredrick is bent on sending you to jail" Austin asked his father

"Not if I kidnap his son first" Damon said with a dry smile on his face.

            FREDRICK

After Mike's suggestion of going to the beach, they all decided to go there as well and have a great time.

When they got to the beach, Mike giggled and pulled Gold with him into the water.

"Yeah mummy come on let's swim" Mike said and from inside the beach shade, Fredrick stared at them as they played in the water and Gold was looking sexy and beautiful on her peach floral print high waisted bikini that Fredrick felt like eating her raw right there.

"She's definitely going to get it from me when we get home" Fredrick smirked but then he noticed the manner at which some guys were staring at her then it made him jealous that he felt like punching them real hard on the face.

"Done eye raping her?" Ethan asked as he grinned.

"Shut up" Fredrick said as he rolled his eyes at him.

"You know I'm saying the truth" Ethan chuckled.

"Gold swims like a fish that sometimes I wondered if she was a mermaid or something" Esther said.
