My Beloved Uncle (Baskerville #1)
(S2): Recognition of Leonard
A few days after Owen's arrest, Leonard must admit to everyone that he is not the real Leonard, because Owen is undergoing a court hearing .
He was just a child taken from an orphanage and his name was Jodan. He did not intend to steal Leonard's true identity. Many eyewitnesses, namely servants and plantation workers who have worked very long hours justifying the past events and told that William had a crazy idea.
Owen confessed all his actions and he was in prison for a long time. News of Leonard's confession was then widespread. Miya is shocked to read the news in the newspaper about Leonard. She was looking for her husband who was in the office at her house.
" Have you seen the news in the paper today?"
"What news is there?"fabian asked without even turning his attention to the computer screen.
Miya handed Fabian a newspaper about Leonard's confession. Fabian immediately took it from his wife's hand, then read it. He was very surprised to read the news.
"What the fuck?"the cry of not believing.
Fabian immediately called Raina and told her to come see him.
"Sorry Dad. I can't come. Outside a lot of journalists wanted to interview us. You're the only ones who came here."
"We're the ones who'll come there."
Fabian hung up. "We're going to meet Raina. Be prepared!"
Miya immediately headed for her room in a hurry. While Fabian tidied up his desk first. Within minutes, they were ready to leave. The car that will take them is ready.
On the way, no one spoke. Busy with their own thoughts. The moment they arrived at the Clemonte family residence were many reporters waiting. When the car carrying Fabian and his wife broke into the mansion, reporters tried to follow him, but security officials forbade him.
Miya and Fabian immediately go down directly to find Raina and Leonard.
"Mother, Dad,"Call Raina and Leonard.
" Tell me exactly what happened?"ask Fabian.
Leonard tells Fabian and Miya everything that has happened in his past life, after Leonard tells him everything that happened, Fabian and Miya are very surprised.
" Why didn't you tell us earlier about this?"ask Fabian.
"Sorry Dad. I just found out not too long ago "Raina said.
" So your previous name was Jodan?"asked Miya again to make sure.
"Yes" replied Leonard.
Miya then realized something." There's a chance you're Charlotte's son."
Miya's words made Fabian immediately look at his wife.
" Children of Charlotte?"exciting Fabian.
" Yes, that might be. It's not that Charlotte's son's name is Jodan and Leonard's also from the orphanage."
" Jodan's name is a lot."
"I knew. Unfortunately Charlotte did not say the name of her orphanage. He has not returned from his grandfather's house. After he returns later, I'll ask him immediately."
"I also thought that way when Aunt Charlotte told me her son's name. Isn't that right, Leo?"raina said.
"Yes," replied Leonard.
" For the most part, we have to wait for Charlotte to come home."
" I'm sorry to make you anxious" Leonard said. " I have no intention of confessing who I am to everyone, but with the murder of Leonard, I inevitably have to tell everyone."
" What do we call you now?"ask Miya.
" Just Leonard. Now that's my name."
"All right."
" The reporters are still waiting outside. Don't you want to see them?"ask Fabian.
" Today we have been interviewed a lot. They'll go alone later."
They looked at each other and decided to stay home until the reporters left.
💔💔💔
The next afternoon the reporters were still in front of the mansion when Leonard exited the mansion although not as much as yesterday. When the car came out, the reporter chased him. On the way a car came across them suddenly and almost collided. Leonard's body was thrown forward.
" What's going on?"ask her driver.
" There's a car suddenly blocking our way."
" What?"
" Should I ask the owner why he's blocking the road?"
" all right. Just ask."
The driver unlocks his seatbelt, then gets out of the car. Leonard watched her from inside the car. The owner of the car came out, then punched the driver in the face until he fell. Leonard got out of the car.
" What the fuck? Why did you hit my driver?"tanyanya angry.
Another got out of the car and forced Leonard into the car. He had a chance to revolt, then another drugged him and Leonard was unconscious and they left. The panicked driver Leonard immediately drove his car home.
Arriving at the mansion the driver told Raina about Leonard's abduction and it took her by surprise.
" Who kidnapped my husband?"tanyanya hysterical.
" I don't know Madam."
Tears had drenched his face and he also looked panicked and confused.
" Take me to my parents' house."
" Good."
💔💔💔
The taxi stopped in front of the mansion. Charlotte got out of the taxi and she smiled back at the Castalia mansion. He finds Miya and Fabian having lunch in the backyard of the mansion.
"Good day!"
Fabian and Miya immediately turned their heads towards the voice that greeted them.
"Charlotte," said Fabian. "When are you back?"
"Just now."
"Let's join us for lunch."
Charlotte sat next to Miya.
" It's good to see you again."
"How's your grandfather doing?"ask Miya.
"My brother's fine."
"It's nice to hear it" Fabian said.
" How are you guys?"
"We're fine" Fabian replied.
After lunch, they entered the mansion and saw Raina was in a hurry walking towards them with anxious faces.
" Dad, Mother, Aunt Charlotte."
"Raina what's wrong?"ask Miya.
"Mother."
Raina hugged Miya and cried.
"What is Raina?"ask Fabian.
Raina let go of her embrace and wiped away her tears.
"Leonard's been kidnapped."
"What?"shout them at the same time.
" How can it be?"asked Fabian did not understand.
" Leonard went out to meet one of his business associates. On the way there are people blocking his way and they kidnap him."
" Why did they show up?"
"I don't know, Dad."
"We'd better sit down and calm our minds" Charlotte said.
They finally sat down and for a while no one spoke. Until finally they are shocked by Raina's cell phone ringing.
" If your husband wants to make it safe, tell Charlotte to come."
" What are you doing my husband?"raina asked angry.
" Your husband is fine now. Now fulfill our wish to have Charlotte come otherwise the one-satunta's son will die."
" What did you say?"
" Don't ask too many questions. We're gonna flick the address down and don't call the cops."
The caller hung up the phone.
" What is that from Leonard's kidnapper? What do they want?"ask Fabian.
Raina looked at her parents and Aunt Charlotte with anxious eyes and they were also looking anxiously at her.
" Yes it's from her captor and they want Charlotte to come to her rescue."
Again, they looked at each other not understanding.
Raina nodded.
" But why me?"
" The kidnapper said Leonard was your son."
" What's?"shout them at the same time.
" Why did the kidnapper say Leonard was Charlotte's son?"ask Miya.
" I also don't know maybe Leonard's name used to be the same as Aunt Charlotte's."
" What do you mean, Raina?"ask Charlotte.
Raina briefly explains Leonard's past to Charlotte.
" It's impossible" he said in surprise.
" Is it true that Leonard is your son, Charlotte?"ask Fabian.
" There's a good chance that Leonard is my son, because the name of the orphanage where I left my son is the same as the name of the orphanage where Leonard used to live, the little angel orphanage."
" If that's true, how do they know Leonard is Charlotte's son?"ask Miya.
" News of Leonard's identity recognition. Maybe they got the information from there," Raina replied.
" You're right too" Fabian said. " Charlotte, you better see the kidnapper. I'll help you secretly."
" But their father said not to call the police."
" I'm not going to call the police. Trust me, Dad!"
" All right."
" How do you want to see the kidnapper?"ask Fabian to Charlotte.
" I'll see him, because I need to know if Leonard really is my son or not."
Raina then gave her address to Charlotte.
" I'll be there."
💔💔💔
Detective Lee hired by Fabian finally comes to fruition. He had already found where the head of the little angel orphanage named Bella Castoff lived. He was standing in front of an old apartment building near downtown New York. He pressed the doorbell of the apartment.
" I'm detective Lee. We've been on the phone for appointments."
" Ah detective Lee. Please enter!"
The glass door opened and detective Lee stepped into the elevator to the 12th floor. The head of the orphanage opened the door of his apartment and told him to come in.
" I'm sorry my arrival bothered you."
" It's okay. Please sit!"
" I came here to ask you something about one of the little angel orphanage children."
" What do you want to ask about the boy?"
" 35 years ago there was a baby who was left in front of the foster home with a baby basket and the baby's name was Jodan.
" I remember there was a baby left at the time. At that time I was not yet the head of the orphanage. There was a necklace bearing the baby's name. His name is Jodan."
" Where is the boy now."
" There's a family that adopts it."
" So the kid was adopted?"
" Right."
" Can I know who the family adopted?"
" Why do you want to know?"
" The real Jodan family is looking for him, so we need to know his whereabouts."
" I got it. Jodan was adopted by William Clemonte?"
"Clemonte?"
" Do you know the Clemonte family?"
"Not just know. Thank ye. This information is really very helpful. Excuse me first."
Detective Lee got into the car with a happy face towards the Baskerville residence. Arriving at the Castalia mansion. He met Fabian.
" Good afternoon!"
" Detective Lee."
Fabian then introduces her to Miya, and Raina.
" Detective Lee I hired to find out where Jodan is" Fabian told Miya and Charlotte.
" It seems you are worried."
" right. There's a problem. Now what information is there about Jodan's whereabouts."
" I already know where Jodan is?"
" Really?"
" Yes." Yeah."
" Where is it?"asked Fabian impatiently.
" I just met Bella Castoff, the head of a little angel orphanage and she said Jodan was adopted by William Clemonte."
"What?"shout them at the same time.
" So Leonard is really Charlotte's son" Miya said in disbelief.
" Me too" said Fabian.
" Dad, Mom how is this ? Do we need to tell Aunt Charlotte that Leonard is really her son?"ask Raina.
" We can't reach him right now. He's on his way to meet the kidnappers."
"What exactly happened?"ask detective Lee.
Fabian told me briefly about Leonard.
" You should have called the police immediately" detective Lee said.
" I've called the police and asked them to follow Charlotte in secret. We're waiting for news."
Neither did they speak anymore. Raina sits uneasily as she looks at her cell phone, if her captor calls back.
💔💔💔
Charlotte has arrived at her destination. He got out of a taxi in the park, and someone approached him.
"Did you come alone?"
"I came alone."
The man closed his eyes and carried Chatlotte into the car.
"Who are you guys? And what do you want?"ask Charlotte in the car.
No one answered him. The car kept moving away from the city center. Charlotte thought their trip was half an hour. The car that took him finally stopped.
Charlotte was taken into a house with her eyes closed. The men took Charlotte to a room, and the blindfold was opened.
" Where is this?"
The man did not answer, then closed the door and locked it. 2 hours had passed Charlotte was in a locked room without any certainty. The door to the room is open. The man who had brought her here brought a tray of food, and then kept it on the table. The door closed again.
Charlotte who was hungry immediately ate it. 1 hour had passed there was no sign of people who would take her to the kidnapper Leonard. He also gets bored waiting. Charlotte decided to lie down for a while and stared at the spacious and quiet room.
💔💔💔
Somewhere a middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa reading a novel, then an old man came from another room and came up to him, then sat down next to him.
"When do you want to keep hiding?"
" I don't know."
"Your wife needs you now."
"I don't want to harm my wife any further."
"Time has passed since I found you on my farm badly injured."
" I am deeply indebted to you even now."
" I've said many times don't feel indebted to me. I sincerely help you, because it is my duty to help you."
" I'm lucky to meet you. All this time it's been very kind to you and accept me here."
" You I've considered my son."
"Thank you."
"Now it's time for you to come out into the public and take back what's rightfully yours, Joseph."
" I know, when the time comes I'll come back and see my wife."
" I'm sure everything will go as it should. [ ]
