Tony stared at Audrey like she had spoken in foreign language."Am I the only one who heard Smith say you can have custody of the kids for 24 hours?" he asked, confusion thick in his voice. "He said it clearly. So why would he suddenly go back on his word?" Audrey didn't say anything. "What exactly did you do, Audrey?" Her chest tightened immediately. Her eyes darted from Tony to Cathe and back to Tony. "What did I do?... Really? She repeated. "Why are you asking me that kind of question?" She sprang to her feet, "whose side are you on, Tony? Mine or Smith's?"Tony didn't give an answer to that question. He looked away, rubbing his palms together. Cathe stood up quickly to ease the tension and silence. She moved closer to Audrey."We're not choosing sides here," she said calmly. "We only care about you and the children. Nothing more, Audrey."Audrey relaxed a little but her eyes were still filled with fear. Tony sighed. "Running on emotions won't help now. Smith is not someone y

Audrey dragged herself into her house. The door closed softly behind her, the silence was louder than any noise.She dropped her bag and it fell to the floor. She leaned against the wall, her body sliding down until she landed on the cold tiles. Her tears came through again.She cried like something inside her had been torn and left her bleeding. She wrapped her arms around herself— no one was there to console her. Her kids were gone..." "Those kids are my life." She whispered to herself. Taking them away from me is like taking away my life.She staggered towards the couch and collapsed on it, staring at the ceiling with swollen eyes. "Where were you?"she cried loud. "Where were you when poverty dealt with me? When I went to bed with an empty stomach. When my family rejected me?"The memories flashed before her when she carried the pregnancy years ago. Facing insults, shame and pain. "And now he decides to show up?" She whispered bitterly. "Now?"Benjamin and Helen said a hooker to

"Don't lose them," Smith snapped into the phone. "Send me the location ASAP. I'm already on my way." He ended the call without waiting for a response. Smith didn't bother to check if Evelyn had left the office. Her presence never mattered to him. What mattered the most is his children. Audrey was trying to run again, and this time around he wouldn't let that happen. He grabbed his jacket and turned sharply towards the door. "I'm heading out," he said coldly. "If you don't leave now, you'll remain here." Evelyn flinched. Her eyes were swollen, and her face pale.Without saying a word, she stepped aside and moved slowly, humiliated.Smith locked the door behind her. Smith's bodyguard and Evelyn took the elevator together.Evelyn followed behind them, feeling little as she walked towards her own car. One of the bodyguards opened the door of the tinted BMW. Smith rushed in without hesitating. "Drive." The car sped off. Minutes later, his phone vibrated and a message dropped. It was V

Smith finished his food and wiped his mouth slowly. Only then did he look up and realize that Evelyn was still there.She sat still on the edge of the chair, her head lowered and eyes filled with tears. The lady who walked into the company a few minutes ago like she owned it now looked reduced to nothing.Smith felt more uncomfortable with her presence. He started feeling bad. He never thought a woman would allow herself to be brought this low. "You're still here?" he said without any remorse. "I thought you will have the decency of respecting your dignity at least. And walk away with your shoulders raised high. Instead, you appear to be more stupid and cheap than I thought." Those words really cut deep. That was the height of it. Evelyn didn't utter a word . Her lips kept trembling. As tears streamed down her cheeks. She imagined truly, if this marriage— if it goes as planned— can she be able to survive his cruelty? Smith turned away.Deep down he knew he could never love Evelyn a

Smith saw the moment the lady walked into the room. She really emitted aura. It was Evelyn Eldon. She walked into the company like it owed her attention. She stood tall and elegant. You could tell she had a lot of money. Evelyn carried that aura which demanded respect, she didn't need to ask for it.The cream blazer she wore fitted her body perfectly. Smith held his breath for a second because of how Evelyn looked and carried herself. For a moment a bad thought came into his mind— he wished Audrey could just be like her. The thought really got on his nerves. "No, not now." He said quietly to himself. Evelyn moved into the company accompanied by her bodyguards. The receptionist and the other workers looked at her.Evelyn looked at them with disdain. She expected warm smiles, bows and respect. Unknown to her, they were admiring her.Evelyn finally looked up and her eyes locked with Smith. Something stirred up inside her. "I was wrong to compare her with Audrey." Smith muttered to him

Audrey stood stunned and amazed, her ears ringing from Smith's last words. For a while, she felt like everything stopped moving. Smith's eyes hardened. "I don't like to repeat myself," he said flatly. "Tony, take your friends out before I'm forced to call security on all of you." Tony swallowed and gave a weak nod. He reached out for Audrey's hand and cathe's, gently guiding them towards the door. Audrey didn't bother resisting. She moved slowly and broke. The door shut behind them. Rick had already gone earlier to fetch the kids from his office, so Audrey, Tony and Cathe waited in the lobby. The silence was intense. Audrey sat calmly, her hands clenched in her lap. Then she saw them. Liam and lèa ran towards her immediately they spotted her. "Mummy!" they screamed together. Audrey's heart swelled like it was about to burst. She ran towards them and dropped to her knees, lifting them both into her arms. She held them tightly— very tight burying her face between them as she wept
