SIX YEARS LATER....Alicia stepped into her newly bought apartment with a huge smile on her lips, beside her was her beautiful daughter Diane who was five years old, on her left hand was her favorite doll, while she held her mother's hand with her right hand.Alicia took off her sunglasses and inhaled deeply, she couldn't be more pleased with herself for getting this apartment, everything about her now screams of wealth, from her stylish outfit to her luxurious car.Over the last few years, she's managed to make it to the top in her writing career, it wasn't easy, but she fulfilled her dream and is now a successful Author with her own publishing company and an insanely incredible fan base. At some point in the early years of her struggle in making it, she had wanted to give up, but her daughter Diane gave her the courage she needed because all she wants to be able to do is give her daughter the best life she deserves and make sure she lacks nothing at all.She's returned to her countr
Adams abruptly stood up from his seat. "Where did you get this from?" He asked, not taking his eyes off the flier in his hand.Mike had a huge smile on his face, he was still bubbling with excitement. "On my way to work, I saw some people handing this fliers out and there was also a huge banner on display, I was going to look away but the name caught my attention, I couldn't even recognize her at first Adams, if it weren't for her name.""She's changed a lot Mike, she looks so different and...." He trailed."Successful." Mike finished and Adams nodded in reply."When is this event taking place? I can't wait to see her, I really need to see her.""It's in a week's time Adams and also, there's something else you should know about." Mike replied and that made Adams look at him."What's it?" He asked.Mike fetched his phone from his pocket first. "After seeing this, I couldn't resist making a research about her and I also saw this...." He showed a picture to Adams.Adams eyes widen in sho
Adams car pulled up in the hall where the event was taking place, when he got down, he heaved a deep breath before going in. When Adams went in, he was shocked to see so much people in attendance, the crowd in the hall was just too much, he tried his possible best to sight Alicia, but he couldn't see her anywhere and that made him groan in frustration, there's no way he's going to find her with this much crowd in the hall.Soon, a man came up stage and asked everyone to settle down, which they did, he gave his speech which took longer than Adams had expected, in fact, none of what the man was saying was even entering his head, all he wants is to see Alicia, nothing else taking place here concerns him at all. When the man was finally done giving his speech, Adam sighed in relief, soon, the man mentioned Alicia's name and the sole reason for this event, the mention of her name alone made the crowd go wild and it took a whole lot to get them to calm down, when they were calm, the man f
When Alicia got home, she stayed in her car for a little while as she tried to calm herself down, she was still feeling so angry about her encounter with Adams and she wouldn't want to take that anger inside and see her daughter with it.Adams words about trying to make things right rang in her ears and she scoffed bitterly."That damn man!" She spat while hitting the car steering with her palm.She couldn't even believe his guts, after everything he and his parents put her through, he still has the audacity to come to her and tell her trash about being sorry and wanting to set things right!"Sorry? Sorry!?" She laughed bitterly. "Oh, you've got to be kidding me Adams, you've really got to be kidding me, sorry my foot! Do you really think sorry can solve everything? Ha!" She hissed. "I pray I never get to see you again Adams, never ever!" She placed her head on the steering and took countless of deep breath.She forced herself to forget about her encounter with Adams, and one thing sh
May placed her hand on Alicia's shoulder and made Alicia face her. "Are you being serious?" She asked. Alicia sighed, then she stood up and began pacing in front of May."You have no idea how seeing him was enough to ruin my precious evening, why the hell did he choose to show up now huh!?" She spat, her anger slowly rising once more, she balled her fist as she felt a strong urge to punch Adams right in his damn face.May stood up and went to pat her back. "Just try to relax okay, what was he even doing there?""He came to see me, he mentioned being sorry and wanting to make things right!" She replied in a sarcastic manner. "Yeah right, like it's all so easy, I can't believe the guts of that man! After all these years he shows up in my face and all he could say was sorry! Sorry? Like one sorry from him could fix the whole goddamn thing, he has no idea of what I've been through and how he and his parents ruined things for me and made my life so miserable." She raised her head up in ord
Adams was just arriving at his office and he was just getting settled in when a knock came on his door, he heaved a deep breath before asking the person to come in.Mike walked in, there was a huge smile on his face as he went to sit in front of Adams. "Done with what you asked me to do." He placed a huge brown envelope on Adams table and gently pushed it towards him. "And yes, one of the investors called me this morning, he wanted to know when we'll be launching the new product."Adams took the envelope and brought out the paper inside. "And I trust you handled that well." He replied while taking a look at the paper in his hand.Mike scoffed softly. "Of course I did, what am I your manager for?" He bragged.After that, he simply kept on staring at Adams who was pretending not to notice him, but Mike already knows Adams too well and he could tell that he would soon start to get uncomfortable with how he was staring at him and that's when he's going to ask the question that's bugging h
"Do you think she'll be okay?" Alicia asked May as they both walked out of Diane's school premises.Ever since they enrolled Diane and dropped her off at her new school, Alicia hasn't stopped worrying, getting her to even leave Diane was a struggle, she was so worried about her and how she's going to be treated by the other kids, plus she was even worried that Diane might not be okay despite the fact that the little girl kept on insisting that she was fine, but still Alicia wouldn't stop worrying.May mentally facepalmed herself, this felt like the millionth time Alicia is asking her the same question."How many times do I have to say this Alicia, Diane will be just fine and it's not like this is the first time she's attending school, didn't she go to school in London? Even Diane already told you that she'll be fine so can you please stop worrying already because you're making me want to hit you for the same question every time." May groaned in frustration.Alicia sighed deeply, she s
"What do you think of Bianca?" Mrs Bridget asked, causing Adams to frown in confusion."What do you mean Mother?"His mother sighed deeply, she wasn't going to beat around the bush any longer and just go straight to the point.''Okay Adams, I'm not going to beat around the bush now, the thing is...I want Bianca for you, I want you two to be together, it's been so long now and—""Excuse me?" Adams sharply cut her off, his face red with anger. "Did I ask you to do any of this mother? Did I ask you to get a woman for me? Why the hell are you doing this!? You called me over for dinner and I came thinking it was just a simple dinner with my parents, not knowing you had other motive behind your invitation." He abruptly stood up. "If I had known that this was the reason you called me here then I wouldn't have bothered coming in the first place, I have no time for all this nonsense, I don't need you searching for a woman for me, I'm not a kid! Please refrain from doing such things mother, I'v
