Debby made her way to Arthur's room, once she stepped in, she found him sipping a wine. Arthur dropped the cup of wine on the table and smiled.

"Listen Arthur, I have tried to explain things to you but I don't know why you are not getting it. What you are asking of me is highly impossible. You lost me the day you slept with my sister," Debby explained. "You can't have me back anymore. I now have a son for another man and I'm never coming to you again. There is nothing that you can do that can make me change my mind."

Arthur stood up to his feet then made his way to Debby, who moved back a little. "I am so sorry for all the pain I caused in the past, Debby. I tell you the truth, it's not intentional... It was Edna that seduced me. Lets just come back together please, promise to make you and Fred happy for the rest of our lives," Arthur said gentlemanly.

Debby shook her head and replied with an instant NO to his plea.

"Very well then, you leave me with no other choice than to keep you in this house. I will force you to marry me and you will be mine!" Arthur declared.

"How can you even force someone to marry another? Isn't that stupidity? In this century?" Debby retorted back with so much confidence. She found what Arthur said to be totally ridiculous.

Arthur was pissed and instantly grabbed Debby by the neck then began to choke her. Debby began to struggle for air.

Arthur slammed her to the wall and the moment Debby's head hit the wall, she immediately loose consciousness.

Arthur felt guilty on seeing Debby's body on the floor but then, he realized that he needed to do what must be done. As far as he was concerned, Debby was a stubborn woman.

Arthur hoisted her up on his shoulder and made his way to the bed then laid her down. He tied her hands to the bed stands, hoping that when she wakes up, she would be helpless and eventually succumb to him.

Meanwhile, Nicholas had woken up from his unconscious state. He held his head, which was hurting badly and wondered what could have happened. He struggled to recall, until it came flashing through his head. He had been hit by someone. Nicholas gasped, realizing that Debby could be in possible danger and immediately rushed out of the room.

When he arrived at the living room, he found Fred sitting on the couch and approached the young lad. "Hey Fred, I am Nicholas, your mom's friend. Where is your mom?" Fred stared up at him for a minute.

"She left through this hallway." Fred pointed to the exact hallway, he had came out from and immediately, Nicholas commenced his search for Debby. He searched rooms to rooms, with no possible means of Debby showing up.

In the mean time, Harry was still in his car, which was parked at one side of the road, opposite Arthur's mansion, when he received a call from the doctor.

"I have sent you the DNA test result, sir." The doctor revealed.

Harry hung up and checked his email and the moment he finished reading the content of the email, he was amazed.

Apparently, the result revealed that Fred is his son. He was surprised and what was even more surprising, was the fact that he now realized that Debby was also the mother of his son. Harry began to reminisce o all the times he had hurt Debby, calling her all sort of names and never believing her.

So Debby was really the mother to his son and he had allowed her undergone those series of pain she went through in his hands? Harry felt regretful.

With this feeling of guilt, Harry realized that he needed to replace Debby at all cost then immediately got down from the car.

When Harry stepped foot into the mansion, the first person he laid eyes on was Fred, who was sitting comfortably on the couch.

Harry felt very emotional. So this was his own flesh and blood, his biological son. It's no wonder he loved him inexplicably.

All this while, the evidence were there, the similarities between Fred and himself, but he was too blinded by hate to have seen it. He rushed over to Fred and held him up in his hands, making Fred really confused about the whole situation. "Uncle, why are you so happy?" Fred asked, still in his confused state.

"I love you," Harry said to him, huggihin very tight. He almost cried. "Where is your mom?" He asked after a few seconds of absorbing the reality that Fred was his son. Harry knew that his boy would some day grow to become powerful like him. "She went this way with her friend." Fred pointed to the hallway, leaving Harry confused by the nature of his statement.

"Alright, please wait here I will be right back." Harry said and was about leaving, when Fred stopped him.

"I cannot stay here alone, I want my mom." Fred indicated and Harry simply smiled, seeing his childhood self in the young boy.

"I give you my word, Fred, I will be back with your mom. Just stay here and be a good boy for me, okay" Fred nodded his head and Harry smiled and head towards the direction that had been given to him by Fred.

Harry moved directly to Arthur's room, believing that Debby could possibly be there. The moment he opened the door, he was bewildered by the scenes before him.

He saw Nicholas tied to the floor, beside the bed and when he looked up at the bed, he was even more shocked to see an unconscious Debby tied om the bed as well. Harry watched a shirtless Arthur, breathing profusely with a scar scattered across his back. He had found it a herculean task to tie up Nicholas. Arthur and Nicholas had engaged in a tough fight that left both of them injured but Arthur worn at the end.

The moment Arthur laid eyes on Harry, he was taken aback for a moment, before eventually laughing nervously.

"Dearest brother, what brings you here again?" Harry felt his fist fold tightly as he stares at Debby. How can the mother of his son be treated this way? Harry was very furious.

Without any further hesitation, he rushed to Arthur and delivered a heavy blow to his face, He continued beating Arthur till his knuckles were filled with blood. Arthur's face became unrecognizable due to the numerous blows he had received.

Harry stood up from Arthur's subconscious body and moved over to Nicholas, who was filled with fear. Nicholas had seen Harry use all his might to defeat Arthur mercilessly. Arthur couldn't even raise a finger at him.

"What is your relationship with Debby?" Harry asked with an authoritative tone and Nicholas swallowed a huge lump in his throat before responding weakly.

"I am just a friend." He said sincerely.

Harry hesitated for a moment, but eventually untied Nicholas from the ropes and immediately rushed over to Debby, who was laying unconscious on the bed.

He loosened the rope around her and tried to wake her up but she wouldn't respond, "Hey Debby, turns out you are telling the truth about Fred. He's really my son," He said to her, trying to wake her up with his words, but she still didn't respond. Meanwhile Nicholas stood, praying earnesly for Debby to wake. He had no idea what Arthur had done to her that made her this unconscious.

"Call an ambulance immediately!" Harry yelled at Nicholas, who was pulled out of his thought. He ran out at once to call an ambulance.

Minutes later, the ambulance arrived and Harry carried an unconscious Debby in his arm in a bridal style, and stepped out of Arthur's room and made his way towards the living room, where Fred was.

The moment Fred saw his mother in Harry's arm, he stood and began to cry, he rushed to Harry to hold his mom's hand.

Harry pulled him aside gently and allowed the medical team, who had arrived to take Debby away to the hospital.

Harry turned to see Nicholas squatting before Fred who was crying profusely. Harry sighed and dragged Fred to him, he squatted to his level and said, "Don't worry Fred, all will be fine, your mom will come back soon." If there was one thing that was certain, Harry was never going to let Fred go again, he was going to ensure Fred would be with him totally.

But he prayed earnestly in his heart that Debby would wake, he will curse himself to death if she never wakes. He was heavily worried and troubled and hope to hear good news from the doctor.

Hours after the incident in Arthur's mansion, Harry received the report from the hospital that Debby was fully in a stable condition and would be alright. He was relieved that nothing was going to happen to Debby. He couldn't bear the guilt that would hunt him for the rest of his life when he realized that he had hurt the mother of his son severely.

Harry then left Arthur's mansion and took Fred with him to one of the biggest mountains in Darkwood. He wanted to have a quiet time with his son. While they sat down on the rocks, enjoying the evening winds and the setting of the sun, Harry realized that nothing was more thrilling than being with family and Fred was a family to him.

"When are we going to see my mommy?" Fred asked, breaking the temporary silence between the two of them.

"Don't worry, the doctor had informed me that she is fine.

Enjoy the view, son." Harry said, drawing Fred to himself as they kept their eyes on the beautiful sights across Darkwood.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his memory. If Debby was the mother of her child, how then was Edna the woman he had sex with five years ago?"

Harry wondered whether Fred was the product of that affairs. He needs to speak to Debby and this time, listen keenly. Despite all the thoughts going through his mind, one thing was certain, he wouldn't wish to continue with the divorce with Debby. At least for now.

"Ready to go home?" Harry asked, as he noticed Fred yawning.

"Yes." Fred said, He was now feeling sleepy and needed to rest. Harry already noticed it. Today is one of the happiest day in Harry's life. Knowing that he has a son today makes him feel truly happy. He hadn't been truly happy like this in years.
