P-please, I beg you. Come let's go tell Christian I had no hand in whatever happened, p-please." I clutched the lapel of his jacket desperately. "Let's go. You need to tell my husband the truth."
"Young lady, you're harassing me." His tone was cold and his stare granite.
"You harassed me first! You had sex with me without my consent, my husband knows and now I'm pregnant with this child he doesn't want. You ruined my marriage! I-I hate you!"

Chapter: Love, Family And Forever THREE YEARS LATER...I stood outside in front the prison's huge gate, Zion and Zaya, still having their sibling rivalry, stood beside me. I paid them no mind. The day they would not argue, I would be genuinely worried. Jared stood beside me as I held a cardboard paper in view, waiting for her. "Where is she?" I questioned impatiently.Uncle Pete and Miss Nancy were home, they couldn't come because Miss Nancy had just put to bed a beautiful set of twin boys. The twin gene was really strong in the Johnson family. Celine was due at any moment. Funny right? Dylan had proposed a year after my wedding. Celine was expecting her first child but was advised to stay home and to stress as little as possible. That was what happened when your husband was a big shot doctor.The gates opened and there she was. I beamed.Zion and Zaya, now eight years of age, ran forward in unison, forgetting their meaningless squabble. "Aunt Denise!""Hey!" She opened her arms, stooping to hug them only they wer

Chapter: Happy MomentsWhen I finally came to, the first thing I heard was the steady beeping of the heart's monitor. I blinked reflexively as the bulb overhead hurt my eyes some. I tried to raise myself to a sitting position but a groan escaped my lips."Hailey." Someone rushed to the bed, helping me to sit up.It was Jared. "W-what happened? I had a dream. A weird dream." I told him, looking quite disoriented. "Really? What kind of dream was that?" He asked, tucking hair behind my ears. "I saw Zaya. Zion was holding her hand and they...they..." Emotions swamped me, making it difficult for me to continue speaking.I swallowed hard, trying to dislodge tears suck in my throat. He heaved a sigh. "It was not a dream, baby. Zaya is alive. I'm as shocked as you are but after uncle Pete and Miss Nancy explained all that happened, I am just thankful she's alive." Emotions rose to his throat. "No." I shook my head, not wanting to believe. "No, no. Zaya died. I saw her body. She...she laid there unconscious an

Chapter: The Future Is Bright "Thank you Brenda, you did a superb job." I shook hands with the very pretty bartender dressed in revealing clothes as the cops threw handcuffs around the wrists of drugged, oblivious Philip and Derek.Finally, I did it. Actually, to be fair, I had help. Jared and me had tracked them to the location Denise had provided and it was true. I realized they frequented a rundown bar at this remote area and they were smart to because no one would have ever traced them here."It's my pleasure. Plus, the money was too good to pass up." She seemed pleased with herself. "Just a second." I left her to go get my checkbook and pen from my bag sitting in the car. I returned to her with these, wrote a figure and extended it to her. "This is thank you for a job well done."She took the check, her eyes bulged in both excitement and shock. "This is freaking much! What the hell do I do with so much money?"My eyes did a quick sweep of her work environment, then moved back to her. "You can pursue your dr

"You need this." Jared said, turning off the engine and unbuckling his seatbelt. "Aren't you getting out?""I told you I'm not ready. I don't know what to tell her. I'm not even sure I want to talk to her, I can't forget the fact that she had a hand in my father's death.""Fine. Then don't talk, let me do the talking. I just want you to be available so you can hear the information she has. You want Philip and Derek to pay for what they have done to you, don't you?" He shifted to face me. "I guess." My tone was reluctant."Good, because I want Philip to pay for killing my father." His jaw tightened.I frowned a little. "You've never been this upset ever since...I don't know, he was your father-in-law.""A big mistake. My father's death ruined my family with my mother as an accomplice." His words were bitter to the ears. I pl

"There you are." My smile was anything but welcoming or friendly. "And I thought I smelled a rotten fish." She spat, looking unkempt and dirty. And she was tied to a chair. "Oh, that'll be you seeing as you haven't had your bath in like...well, weeks." I drew a chair from the wall, placed it few feet from hers and sat. "Forgive my lack of hospitality, I've been busy.""It's been a while. What do you want?" Her once shiny red hair was now a matted mess. "Revenge." I simply said. As though on cue, I heard a rap on the door. I opened it to allow Celine and Jared walk in. Jared was carrying a box of things I'd asked for. "You bitch! You think I'm scared of you?" She was trying to act strong but the little quiver in her voice gave her away. "I think you already are." I emptied the contents in the box.I heard her gasp. "

I'd lied about picking some things for Zion from the store. This should be over in no time. I raised a fist and rapped gently but firmly on the door. "Who's that?"Two of the cops had followed me upstairs but were hiding from view. That sounded like the President's voice. I knocked again, cleared my tone in a bit to disguise it and said. "Room service."There was seconds of silence, then the padding of feet coming towards the door. The door opened. "We didn't order any..." The rest of his words were drowned by shock."Hello, Mr. President." I plastered on a smile. "Can I come in?" He was yet to see the cops."Get out." Fear and anger had him growl out those words. He tried to shut the door in my face but before he succeeded, I had a foot stuck between the door and used all of my power to push it open, making him lose balance and fall to the gro

Chapter: Her First DanceROXANNE "Mommy!" Ethan jumped on me, hugging me so tight as soon as Mom released me. "Hey baby!" I laughed, hoisting him up and peppering his face with kisses. "Hi," Patricia strode over, big, sweet smiles brightened her face as she neared us. Mom and I exchanged brief glanced before turning back to her, waiting for her to say what she had to say. "I'm so glad you finally got back what was yours, Roxanne. Oh my goodness, you deserve it." She began, her smiles stuck on her face as though she couldn't afford to lose it. I quirked a brow, but still listened to her. "You know, I somehow knew Vanessa wasn't a farce but I just couldn't prove it. Always strutting about arrogantly and pretending like she owned the world. I should have known that you are the rightful heiress of Gilmore Empire. Maybe that's why fate made it so I came to Julia here to propose you marry my son, without even knowing that you're the real Gilmore arranged to marry Josh. See how fate works." She went off in a

Chapter: Justice At LastROXANNE The speaker stopped playing. "This," Kylian tapped the documents, "is the evidence, written and signed, that the true heiress of Gilmore Empire is Roxanne Robertson whose true last name is Gilmore, and not Vanessa Gilmore as the public believes."The hall was an uproar by now. Guests were talking in mixed tones, voices lapped over one another.I couldn't get them all but I could tell they all were conveying the same thing — the wickedness of Gilmore, how they knew my parents and couldn't believe they had been murdered rather than the accident they had let the world believe was the cause. Kylian let them keep talking. He didn't try to stop the ruckus. He stepped down, taking a shaking, sad, teary-eyed me with him. I went along like a puppet, not sure how I could process all of this. Patricia was, as usual, ranting and shouting in the Gilmores' faces. Josh had moved away from Vanessa, his expression scrunched as though he couldn't believe who she was anymore. Vanessa's exp

A voice boomed from the speakers, cutting me off. My brows still furrowed, I listened, trying to understand what was happening. The hushed whispers had died down. No one spoke, everyone was listening. "Who are the they, Mr. Stiles?"Kylian's gaze traveled to the Gilmores and Caldwells, keeping his gaze steady on all of them. I noticed the Gilmores' faces were ashen white. The woman looked like she was about to piss herself. The man, though was trying to put on a brave, unperturbed mask, he was terrified as well. Vanessa was no different from her mother right now, but she added that anger that she glared at me with. As for the Caldwells, Josh and his mother were quiet and listening too."The Gilmores."

My eyes searched for mom, I found her already making her way towards us, expression calm with a bit of concern.She reached where I was, and stood beside me, a hand on my shoulder as if offering some kind of solidarity. I appreciated her presence and hoped that tonight would not be ruined."Why are we here?" Vanessa met Kylian's gaze head-on, glaring. Kylian's tone was cool, even casual, "you'll soon see. However, in the mean time, why don't you all enjoy the party?""Nonsense." Vanessa sounded sharper now, low enough not to attract attention. "We're leaving.""And with our son." Josh supported.I was more than ready to fight them tooth and nail, they were taking my son nowhere. But Kylian was already beating me to it, taking a stand, "No can do." he

Chapter: The Caldwells Are In AttendanceROXANNE The twinkle in his eyes confirmed it, "happy birthday, Roxanne." He leaned in to place a tender kiss on my left brow. I was left a bit breathless from that seemingly casual peck, floored by the thoughtfulness of planning a birthday party for me. That huge cake with blue-and-gold royal icing sitting on a table close to another table filled with arrays of dishes and hors d'oeuvres. My eyes welled. Kylian wasn't a perfect man, but he was, undeniably, a good man. I just wish he didn't play women as he did, I'd have confessed having feelings for him right here and now. Since I couldn't do that, I did the next best thing — pulled him into a warm, tight hug packed with gratitude. He chuckled, leaning into the hug, "don't ruin your make-up, Roxanne. The evening is just starting." Then he sniffed me, "you smell wonderful."I had no reason why I let out a small laugh, but I did, "and you too."I pulled away, gazing at him from an arm's length.

I couldn't miss a man who had made himself available for every woman out there. He was probably on top one right now and not bothered to wish me a happy birthday.I shouldn't care, but I couldn't deny that I did. Mom and Ethan had wished me and had even gotten me gifts as well.I couldn't say the same for Kylian. What kind of man would get me a pre-birthday gift, but not remember to even wish me on my day? I put thoughts of him out of my mind.It was five pm. Mom had told me she wanted to take me out, to celebrate the day for me. And because I was bored, I had agreed.
