Shane had been part of the Fowler household since Horaces youth, ingrained in the family tapestry like an old oak witness to their stories.
Shane knew about the buried secrets of Horace, Kira, and the existence of Tyrone, the result of the formers affair.
The familial discord among the three families was no secret.
It wasnt eyebrow-raising for an offspring of privilege to sneak into the house. Some spouses would hobnob with the mistresses without much ado.
However, the demise of Analia changed the game.

Back then, Analia met her end after giving birth to Blayze amid her marriage with Horace. To protect the interests of Blayze whose parents were Analia and Horace, Analias parents barred Kiras illegitimate child, Tyrone, from residing with the Fowlers. Tyrone, the poor soul, didnt know his biological father was Horace until recent days.
It was a fair request from the Evans family. After all, if Tyrone got into the Fowler family, it was a sure bet that Kira and Horace would meet and continue to have an affair under the guise of visiting the child.
In those days, Horaces old man still drew breath. He handpicked Analia for his son to sustain the ties between the families and took pity on Blayze who lost his mother at a tender age. He greenlit this reasonable request swiftly, even giving Horace a tongue-lashing, showing scant regard for Tyrone, the shameless illegitimate child.
Disheartened by the loss of Analia, the Evans family barged into the Blakely residence to voice their discontent with Kira being the other woman. Cesar, seething with humiliation, prostrated himself, bemoaning his failure in teaching Kira to be a decent girl. He desired no further association between Kira and Horace. He made Tyrone stay in the Blakely family before sending Kira overseas.
That settled the dust. The Evans and Fowler families maintained communication courtesy because of the marriage between the late Analia and Horace and, more importantly, for Blayze.
However, any cooperation between the Blakelys and Fowlers had ceased.
Their corporate offshoots engaged sporadically, without necessitating the involvement of both lineages.
Suddenly, a member of the Blakely family proposed a visit to Horace.
Moreover, it was Tyrone who graced their doorstep, prompting wild conjecture.
Was it that Tyrone found out about his true identity?
Perched in the corridor, Shane mulled over myriad thoughts while gazing at the blossoms in the courtyard.
Then, a car pulled up at the gate.

Recognizing the license plate, Shane promptly rose and sauntered toward it.
Horace emerged from the car and hastened inside.
Is he here?
Shane shook his head.
Not yet. I reckon hell be along shortly.
Horace rushed into the room and asked, Did he say why he came to visit me?
Shane paused and replied, No, the servant who answered the phone forgot to ask.
