Chapter: 83: Liam 3Who could that be?I peeped through the little opening at the edge of the gate.A slender young lady, slightly above average in height, with brown skin and light-colored hair, stood before me.“Nina or whatever you call yourself, I want you to get rid of whatever is growing in your womb this minute because there is no way I’m letting you blackmail me,” Fiona snapped, her anger seething.“You lie, Fiona. You lie. I’m not getting rid of this child.”“Then get ready to face me the hard way because this child is certainly not going to stay,” Fiona snapped, her tone firm.I remained rooted, unable to comprehend anything.I tried to return to the house, but she said something striking, pinning my legs in place, eager to hear more.“You hired me to do your dirty work, and I complied. But when you realized your dirty little secrets were at risk, you couldn’t let go. You arranged for his sperm to be stored with the lab attendant; I made sure of it. And now that everything is taking its turn, y

Chapter: 82: Liam 2My heart skipped.My entire body remained numb as I watched the handle, frozen in place. My plans to wait and see how everything unfolded were gradually being crushed.I flinched.Just then, the handle stopped, and I could hear Mum's voice again.Relief washed over me as I held my hands to my chest, gently heaving a sigh.I carefully and discreetly moved towards the living room, ignoring whatever Mum had left to say.I was already consumed by what I had just heard and needed to think before I acted. It sensed Fiona had every step well-prepared and planned.Once in the living room, I stumbled onto the couch, my hands clapped to my heavily breathing chest.My eyes landed on the glass of water in front of me. Fear crept over me.“What if she put something in it?” I whispered. But staring at it wasn’t going to quench my thirst.I restrained myself from taking it and slammed my arms on the armrest. If only I could remember the slightest thing, except for today, then everything would have b

Chapter: 81: LiamNext dayLiam's POV Sitting and patiently waiting for the water when the door of the mansion creaked open, and Mum steps into the building, holding a medium briefcase in her arms and approaching.My face fixed on hers, stunned, my mind numb.What was she doing here with a bag that made it seem like she was planning to stay a while?I held back, watching, waiting for her to drop the case. But instead, she hurried toward me and pressed a warm kiss against my forehead.“Son, how are you doing?” she asked, her face lighting up with a warm smile.“I’m good, Mum,” I replied, then fixed my gaze on the briefcase and back to hers. “Mum, what are you doing with a briefcase? Are you going on vacation?” I asked, and she raised an eyebrow.Her face lit up with shock.“Son, have you forgotten I told you I was coming two days ago?” she snapped, her eyes widening.“Two days ago?” I echoed, equally surprised. I had no memory of that.“I’m sorry I didn’t call again. Your father had a slight fever, so

Chapter: 80: In A FlashOlivia's POV I was already at home, my heart a total mess, devoid of any iota of numbness ever since I left James at the roadside.“My decision was the best for both of us,” I whispered to myself as I alighted from the cab, but something sprang up in my heart.My car was parked at the hospital.Taking the cab, I returned to the hospital with the intention of not going inside the building.Upon arriving, I was surprised to spot James with Becky; she looked almost unconscious.I was stunned to my marrow.Had he actually come back to the hospital to confront Becky for spilling the truth? What kind of a man was he?Rushing Becky over to the emergency ward, all the teams rushed over and assisted in the process of resuscitating her.It appeared he had nearly snapped the life out of her moments before I arrived.My heart quickened. He was a beast.After a moment of panic and pressure, she was finally stabilized and placed on oxygen.I heaved a sigh, my heart heavy with grief and hatred.“Sh

Chapter: 79: RealityJames POV My gaze remained fixed on hers, curiously demanding an answer.My heart raced as I dreaded the response she hadn’t given yet.Her confused yet determined expression said everything. Even without her words, I already felt a sharp pain in my heart.“Please, Olivia, tell me what the issue is. You already forgave me, and I have promised to always be honest with you from now forth. Why are you stopping the car?” I demanded desperately.It seemed like my words hit her, stirring a soft spot in her heart. She lowered her head, arms wrapped around herself.I leaned closer, resting my hands on her shoulders slightly.“I’m sorry, but I’m starting the car now,” I said boldly. But she didn’t react, didn’t say a word neither.I felt shattered, but I had to do something.I gripped the key, ready to start the engine, when her hand brushed against mine, stopping me abruptly.She looked up at me, her eyes filled with sorrow and determination.“I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I can’t go through

Chapter: 78: DoubtMy heart couldn't contain the depth of deceit, and I pulled out my phone to dial James' number.Pressing the call button, I waited for him to pick up after a brief moment.“Sorry, I was trying to….”“Just save that explanation and meet me at the office now,” I declared, pressing the hang-up button.How could he? I muttered aloud, my gaze fixed on my phone.My arms slammed against the office desk, making a sharp creaking sound that echoed through the entire space.The longer I waited, the more the unease grew in my spine. Finally, the door creaked open once more, revealing no one else but James.His dazed gaze met my angry stare, and he hurried toward me.His mouth was agape, his expression perplexed.“What’s the issue? And why are you still in the office with that look on your face?”I let him speak while I watched impatiently.The veins in my body tensed, my muscles pulled tight.“How could you do such a thing? How could you?” I blurted out bitterly.He leaned forward and held my arm

Chapter: Chapter 174The expectedA grin spread across his face as he held my hands, planting a loving kiss on them before crouching low on his knees. My heart soared once more, and this time, I was determined to give this tireless man a "yes" for his relentless efforts to win me over.“Please, my lady, will you be mine again?” he asked, his hands dipping into his pant pockets to retrieve the ring. To my amazement, his gaze remained fixed on mine.“Please, girl, forgive him and accept him back; for my sake and Henry's,” Evelyn's voice surged from behind almost immediately, and I winced.“Yes, he deserves one more chance,” Aaron added.I stayed still, determined in my thoughts, my face adorned with a grin. Finally, I whimpered,“Yes, I’ll give you another chance, to be yours again.”With a relieved smile, he hastily slid the ring onto my finger and rose to his feet.“Thank you.

Chapter: Chapter 173Sorrowful momentWithout hesitation, I tapped to receive the call, my head lowered and my heart racing. By now, the applause had stopped, but Harry still remained kneeling with the ring in his hands, his face showing a mix of disappointment and uncertainty.“Hel…” I started, but his voice cut me off almost immediately.“Please, you need to come. The report is bad, and Evelyn needs you,” he asserted, and my heart sank.“Okay, I’ll be right there,” I responded. The call ended almost immediately from his end. I hurriedly lowered the phone from my ear, casting a sorry gaze at Harry.“Please, I need to leave. It’s about Evelyn,” I announced. Without glancing around at the murmurs that arose once more, I hastily addressed the team, then stormed to the car and drove off almost immediately to the hospital.Once at the hospital, I hurriedly made my way through the lobby and down the hallway leading to the maternity section. I knew she would be there. As I had suspected, I spotted Aaron speakin

Chapter: Chapter 172Two Weeks LaterCeline’s POVA lone tear dropped from my eye as I walked along the aisle toward the pavilion. My heart couldn’t stop wondering how I got here; a pathway filled with endless struggles and challenges. A path where evil loomed, but amidst the overwhelming obstacles and chaos, I succeeded, alongside the great team that stood firm with me. It felt like a dry bone coming back to life.The roaring applause of the crowd and the overwhelming feeling of having everything under control struck me with a sense of fulfillment—the kind that comes when one keeps a promise. That, I had lived to remember for seven years, ever since Dad was buried."I wish I could see him again and tell him everything is now fine and under control," I whispered in my heart, never stopping to wander through the familiar thoughts crowding my mind.The media buzzed around the hall, fixing and focusing their cameras on me. The grin on my face widened as a surge of joy erupted through me. As I climbed the pa

Is your madam at home?""Not really. She stepped out a few minutes ago. I thought you might have driven past her on your way here.""Not at all," I replied, feeling a pang of devastation. My eyes fell on the drink I held in my hands, and all the carefully rehearsed words I had practiced in the car suddenly felt meaningless."Can I leave this for her?""Not at all, sir. I think you should give it to her yourself; it would be much better," he replied. I sighed and turned to leave, my feet dragging sluggishly against the ground.Just then, a voice called out from behind."What are you doing here? I thought I told you last time not to come near us! Why are you still bent on bringing us more trouble?"I turned to meet his angry gaze. His words were far too harsh for a child his age, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that

Chapter: Chapter 170Bad OccurrenceHarry's POVIt's been a heck of an experience for me. The shock and the stigma felt increasingly heavy, almost suffocating the life out of me. I still felt as though the chains of the forbidden were caging me, weighing me down like an unbearable burden.“Boss, you need to do something before everything escalates beyond what we can handle,” Louis, who had come over, suggested with a concerned expression.I sat still, lost in thought, struggling to figure out what to do. It was fortunate that the news hadn’t picked up on this yet, but I needed Celine's help to navigate through this mess before it did. Otherwise, it would tarnish the company’s reputation irreparably. This disaster, which I had been grappling with for the past twenty-four hours, left me filled with regret. I doubted it would ever leave my mind; not now, not ever. Mom’s face still appeared before me repeatedly. The moments when she smiled, the happy times we shared; all of them taunted my heart relentlessly.

The beautiful view outside gave me a strange sense of peace, even though a sharp nervous pang tugged at me from inside.I knew beyond doubt that I was going to make it. I wasn’t going to give up anymore. I wanted to fight.Behind the glass door stood Doctor Stanley, alongside another doctor he was speaking with. In his arms was a file I knew belonged to me. He was talking and then turned to look at me through the window.He could feel my fear, because he stopped talking, handed the file to the other doctor, and walked into my room.He put his hands into the pockets of his white coat.“You’re thinking you won’t survive the surgery, right?” he asked, smiling gently.That smile stirred up hope in my heart, even though the dread that had settled there weighed heavier.“Yes, I am,” I admitted, looking away.I noticed sadness in his eyes. He sighed and reached for my hand. I slowly looked at him.“You need to fight, Alora. You need to make them pay

Chapter: 4: Shadows Of The Past LucasThe Next DayI sat on the couch in the living room, the divorce papers in my arms, my eyes scanning them all over again.I didn’t know how to feel or what was going on in my heart. I should be happy, jumping excitedly, right?But that wasn’t the case. I just couldn’t describe how I felt, different, stuck in between. It’s been ten years with her, and I had termed her worthless.However, I wouldn’t say I felt a vacuum in my heart. It wasn’t my damn intention to let her go like that. Her being inconsiderate and dramatic had led to that drastic move I never wanted to take.My arms tightened over the divorce papers, my eyes flickered to them as the strange sting of doubt pulled at my heart.I never knew what to do.Was that confusion?Sonia already had a son for me, a secret that had left in the dark for five whole years.It was a mistake, a one-night stand I regretted deeply. At least, I did… not until Alora lost our baby and, along with it, her womb.A silent groan slipped from my

Chapter: 3: Seperated AloraStanding there, a sharp pain ran through my chest. His words cut deeper than a knife, shredding every part of my heart. Tears streamed down my cheeks.“Aunty, why are you crying? Don’t you like being the maid?” the little boy asked innocently. “I can tell my daddy to make you my nanny if you want.”Those tiny, innocent eyes and his voice hit me hard. They reminded me so much of the child I lost five years ago.If my baby had survived, he would have been his age. And just maybe, Lucas would have treated me with love and not tagged me a slave in my own home.“Cutie, go upstairs and select your room. Mum and Dad need to talk,” Sonia said, cupping his cheeks gently.He jumped excitedly, rushing up the stairs. “I will pick two large rooms,” he said as he darted off the stairs.I looked at Lucas. He was calm, cold, as though nothing had happened. I swallowed hard, turning to Sonia.She smirked victoriously.My chest tightened with greater grief.I thought I had trusted her, shared my

Slowly, I opened my eyes, adjusting to take in the light that struck them.The strong scent of disinfectant and injections settled in my nostrils. I looked around briefly, only to be startled.I was in a hospital.But how…“Finally awake,” a voice said, breaking through my thoughts. I turned, only to find Doctor Stanley standing just beside my bed.A gasp escaped my lips.I tried to recall what had happened, only for those heart-wrenching memories to flood back.“Don’t worry about how you ended up here. Let’s just be thankful you made it through this time. You’ll be discharged shortly, along with additional medication,” he said, turning to leave without another word.I blinked. Then, Lucas's last words echoed in my head. They cut deep, even though he had said them in his drunken state.I let the tears drop, silently fighting back the growing anger in my heart.Soon, I was discharged, and I drove out

You’re just going to walk away from my life like we never spent the last ten years as a married couple?”“Yes,” his voice was cold, devoid of emotion, as though it was just a mere question.My heart sank, and my jaw clenched.“Is this what you really want? A break?” I asked, my voice shaking.“Yes,” he said, shifting his gaze to me. “Not that I’m throwing you out, just a harmless break.”A silent groan rumbled through my chest, but I forced the words out.“What about last night? Doesn’t it mean anything to you?” I asked, crossing my arms as I stared at my beloved husband knotting his tie.“Alora,” he paused, his eyes observing me.“That was just a mere night. You wouldn’t have counted it as anything serious, would you?” The coldness in his voice tore through my flesh like cold liquid fire.I looked at him. There were so many words to say, so many things to consider, but I bottled them up.“How about the result from my last check-up I asked you to look into?” I asked.H
