“Mommy Anaya came to school today.” Ryle said as Henry tucked him into bed.Henry paused before he continued what he was doing. Stella informed him that Ryle had been pouting ever since he returned from school and even refused to eat his meal.Henry had to cajole him into eating something at dinner and this was the first sentence he was uttering since Henry returned from work.“I see.” Henry muttered and sat next to him on the bed.“But the bad bodyguards refused to let me see her.” Ryle sulked. “I hate them.”“They only did that because I asked them to.” Henry said. “There are a lot of things going on that you can’t understand for now, Ryle. But don’t worry, it will soon be fine.”“Mommy Anaya is back from her trip so why isn’t she at home with us, Daddy?” Ryle tugged on his arm. “I want to see her!”“Now, it’s time to go to bed. We’ll talk about this tomorrow.” “But Daddy!” Ryle whined but Henry stared at him sternly which made him fold his arms and turn away from Henry.“I’m only

Anaya parked her car by the pavement as she watched the children dressed in the white and blue uniform coming out from the school building. A smile came on her face when she saw some children jumping with joy when they saw their parents waiting to pick them up.After meeting with her uncle, she wanted to head back to the office but somehow, she found herself driving towards Ryle’s school. Ever since Margeret told her that Ryle has started school again, Anaya would drive down here towards the closing time, hoping to get even a glimpse of him.Even though Margeret had been kind enough to send her pictures and snippets of Ryle, she still felt unsatisfied. She wanted to hold him in her arms, tickle him and laugh at his cute giggles.She missed so much and that longing seemed to have skyrocketed today.Anaya got out of her car, moving past the parents who were waiting for their children. She scanned the exit door, waiting and hoping that she would be able to talk to Ryle even if it was jus

Charles’s expression hardened as Anaya waited for him to speak. She could already tell from his body language that he had done something wrong to Ethan’s family but she needed to know the nitty-gritty in order to face her enemies.“Digging up the past never worked well for anyone.” Charles muttered.“Just answer the damn question!” Anaya snarled. “Why did you ask Mr. Jetkins to write a document for Ethan’s wife to lose the house? What did she do to you?” “Oh, that lady.” Her uncle rolled his eyes. “She was adamant on ruining my reputation, threatening to go to every media outlet for the stupid justice she was looking for.” “You hid the fact that her husband was hit by my parents. No single article announced his death. Her reaction was only right.”Charles scoffed. “So what was I supposed to do? Let her run her mouth and destroy not only your father’s company but mine? And you think you will still be able to afford the luxury things you can comfortably buy today?”“So, instead, you de

“Thank you so much.” Anaya watched as Samira smiled at the customer who turned around to leave. As soon as Samira met Anaya’s gaze from the opposite side of the road, her smile dropped instantly.Someone else came to purchase something from her kiosk but she remained unmoving, her eyes fixated on Anaya until the person tapped her. Anaya locked her car and crossed the road, heading towards the kiosk.When faced with no other option but to meet her uncle, Anaya searched about Charles and read about how his company got bankrupt and how he had to sell his properties in order to pay his debt. She thought she would feel sad to see how her once rich and money-grubbing uncle had fallen from grace to grass but strangely, she felt numb.Maybe it was because of the pent up anger and hatred she had built up for him and his family but she didn’t feel bad for how his life turned out. To find out what transpired between him and Daisy’s mother, she asked Maia to get information on his whereabouts.

“Good morning, ma’am.” The receptionist in the front desk at the law firm smiled warmly at Anaya. “Who are you here to see?” She asked politely and Anaya instantly took a liking to her.Unlike other receptionists who are either extremely rude or completely bored with their work, she seemed genuinely nice and her smile looked sincere. Somehow, her ambiance soothed the rage in Anaya’s head slightly.“Mr. Jetkins. I called him this morning.” Anaya muttered and the lady nodded before giving a call to the lawyer.Anaya’s heart was still beating fast at the possibility that her parents could have been responsible for Daisy’s father’s death. Joanne had informed her that the man was killed in a car accident on a rainy night. And he died the same year her parents had that accident that took their lives.She hoped it was merely a coincidence. And that both accidents happened on totally different days. But there was still a dark thought lurking in her mind. What if it wasn’t?What if her parents

“Good morning, boss.” Norah greeted as Anaya walked down the hallway, heading to her office.“Morning, Norah.” She replied absentmindedly as she took out her phone from her bag to dial Maia’s number.She was tired from driving two hours early this morning to meet up with Joanne and driving back to LA but the vital piece of information she received from Daisy’s mother was too important to just keep to herself.Joanne had told her that Daisy had a biological sister which she found out that Daisy had been keeping in touch with for a year. But who knows whether it has not been longer than a year?There was only one person Anaya was suspecting to be Daisy’s sister and that was Sandra. It would make a lot more sense if they were sisters, planning to ruin her life for a unified mission. Anaya tried to picture Daisy’s and Sandra’s face to check for any resemblance but her head was aching and she was unable to conjure up any image. The call went straight to voicemail and she sighed before call
