  Hello?” His tone sounded bored and Phoebe couldn't help but feel bad for him. She knew exactly how he was feeling. “Hey.” “Called to say sorry about the other day. I shouldn’t have wrongfully accused you. And also, thank you so much for finding Ivan.” Trevor expelled a strained sigh. “I was just doing my job as a father,” He said with a fake chuckle, his voice breaking here and there. A silence ensued between the two, their breathing being the only sound that sailed into each other’s ears. “I saw the news about you stepping down as CEO of the Maddox Empire,” Phoebe continued as her heart began to thump against her chest. “I know it’s not in my place to ask but….. are you okay?” Trevor chuckled, but it lacked humor. It was instead filled with so much sadness that Phoebe suddenly felt a prick in her heart. “Of course I'm fine. It took me long enough to know that I have been chasing clout all my life. I gave up everything I held dear, my lifestyle, my friends, you…. all

  “Are you alright, baby? Did she hurt you in any way?” Phoebe asked for the umpteenth time as she scanned Ivan’s body for any sign of discomfort. By her side were Annie and Marcy looking as worried as she. “I'm fine Mommy.” “But why did you follow her out? I thought I told you that on no account should you follow a stranger?” “I’m sorry Mom. It's just that the man said he was sent by Trevor to pick me up. He said he was his friend.” Phoebe wanted to scold her toddler but then she held herself back, pulling him in for a hug instead, and smooching his head continuously. “Mommy missed you a lot,” Phoebe confessed. Lucas’s eyes were fixated on Phoebe but his mind was occupied with thoughts about Ella and all she had said. So his anger all these years had been targeted at the wrong person. Trevor hadn't betrayed him and snatched his girlfriend like he presumed all these years but had been a victim just like himself. But why hadn't he said anything to clear the air? He trie

  Lucas tried to call his private investigator but Trevor wouldn’t hear of it. “You are not going to risk my son’s life. You heard what whoever that was said,” he barked as he stared at Lucas through the rear mirror. “Says the absent sperm donor.” The atmosphere became tense as both men glared at themselves, their hatred very conspicuous. They were about having a second clash out if not for the timely intervention of Annie. “You both aren’t children for God’s sake. You think I enjoy being here with you guys?” She shouted as a frown marred her face but then she composed herself. “We have to focus on the issue at hand, you guys can deal with your shit later on.” “But I am with Lucas on this one. We can’t just walk into a lion’s den unprepared. Remember what happened with Phoebe, we need to have a plan B or something.” The trio turned to Phoebe to hear what she had to say about the matter but her gaze remained distant, her tears flowing freely. Lucas reached for her palm and gave

  “Hurry up sweetheart,” Phoebe yelled up to Ivan who had gone back to his room to look for his missing left shoe. Dressed in a sleeveless sky blue flare gown embroidered with tiny roses, she looked a million dollars. The dress clung to her body, tight and loose at the right places. She paired it with white sandals and also a matching tiny purse. Marcy had helped her with her hair and makeup and she looked wonderful. She was to go for a music deal with Mr. Steve, a music producer who wants to work with her. Ivan alighted from the stairs minutes later with both of his shoes in their right places. Arranging his shirt collar to perfection, Phoebe guided the toddler out to the car where Adam was seated and waiting for them. Lucas had already left for the office that morning. Once they dropped Ivan at his school, Adam picked up her lawyer before they continued in the direction the five-star hotel where she was scheduled to meet with Mr. Steve. Mr. Steve was already there and waiting fo

  Mary leaned on his car, a sly smile clouding her features as she urged him to open. Trevor was about to ignore her when Mrs. Maddox walked out from the hospital, her calculating eyes fixated on him. Biting hard on his inner lips, Trevor let Mary into the car and they zoomed out of the hospital premises in silence. But then, Mary decided to disrupt the serenity of the place. “This is no way to treat your wife, a woman who is carrying your child,” She whined, her tone leaking with amusement. At first, Trevor wanted to ignore her but there was this thing that boiled within him whenever she acted that way. How had he gotten into this mess in the first place? “Look, I don’t know what game you are trying to play with this,” he said as he pointed at her flat belly. “You can deceive the whole world but not me. You expect me to forget how you made a whore of yourself, sleeping around with different men on a daily basis? What is your plan? Did you suddenly forget whose bastard that i

  The crackly sound of Ivan’s giggles filled the air as Marcy blew raspberries in his belly, making him flail his hands and legs in the air. “I have missed you, tiger,” She said as she pecked the toddler who was trying to catch his breath. “I missed you too,” Ivan shot back, wrapping his tiny hands around her neck and returning her pecks. “I was preparing lunch, let me go and continue with it?” Marcy said after a while, looking up to Lucas and Phoebe who had been watching her exchange with the toddler. Her smile faltered a bit but she quickly recovered. “Let me help….”Phoebe was saying but she hurriedly interrupted. “No….you just got back. You wouldn't want the boss to sack me,” Marcy joked as she stole a glance at Lucas who shrugged his shoulders as he pulled Phoebe to himself and took a big sniff of her scent. “You bet I would,” Lucas confirmed as he broke into a light chuckle, the corners of his eyes wrinkling in delight. The women joined in the laughter as Marcy s
