CHAPTER 16

ZYLIAH'S POV

"Mummy, see, I want that one." Waylen pointed excitedly at a toy drum set.

"Uhm... why don't you go for something else, honey? Something less noisy," I said, trying to dissuade him.

I could very well afford those clangy-bangy things, but what I couldn't afford was the noise and chaos they'd bring. Knowing Waylen, he'd probably fall asleep on that drum set with the drumsticks still in hand.

We were still at Delia's place. I couldn't be insensitive and let my kids disturb her peace and quiet.

"No, I want that drum thing!" He stomped his feet, insisting.

"Mummy, can I get that basketball game?" Casper asked, eyeing a miniature basketball court for kids.

I'd decided to take them out shopping and actually enjoy some real time with them today. Ever since our arrival here, I hadn't really had enough time to actually spend proper quality time with them. Between house hunting and taking care of my business, it had been hectic.

Delia was a sweet soul who would

    CHAPTER 145GRANDMA CHARLOTTE'S POV"Hi, son." I walked into the private living room strictly for family only.The only person outside of the family who has ever been in here, with the exception of the maids, was Zyliah. Oh well, I shouldn't think of her now. It didn't matter anymore.My son, Oslaz, was entertaining himself with a movie. It was rare to see him watch movies. It was always news or playing games."Hello, Mom."And he wasn't alone."Great grandma!" My great-grandbabies ran up to hug me. All three of them.Now that I was aware that Alexa wasn't Williams by blood, it didn't make me love her less. She was innocent in all of this, and it would absolutely be cruel to make her suffer for it.To me, she would always be my great-grandbaby."How are you, my little darlings?" I went to make myself comfortable on a sofa, taking them with me.They flanked my sides. "I'm fine, great-grandma.""Where did you come from?" Casper asked."What did you buy, great-granny?" Waylen was already

    CHAPTER 144ZYLIAH'S POV"Where did they go?" I asked the estate security in Delia's estate.I'd taken a huge risk coming here, as this was the only place I knew to come. I didn't have any other place to go.But their gate had been locked; not even a single member of the house staff was around."I have no idea, ma'am. I saw them leaving a few days ago," the guy replied.It was getting late, and I needed to find a place to lay my head. I couldn't roam around for fear of being caught by either the cops or Martino's men.I was still a wanted person, even though the cops had let me out after being bribed by Martino. Plus, there was a huge bounty on Sara's head.If anyone saw me, I'd bet one of my legs that they would immediately call Sayge.Until all of this was over, my freedom wasn't guaranteed."And you have no idea when they'll be back?" I was desperate at this point.I didn't even have a spare key or any way to access her house. If I did, I'd have stayed and hid myself in her place u

    CHAPTER 143VICTORIA'S POVThrough my sunglasses, I observed the environment with a disgusted and annoyed expression. This was like a dump for humans. Unwanted humans who had no hope of surviving, let alone thriving.It was as though they had been forgotten and abandoned to die here."I feel like puking my guts out, Sabrina. Where's the girl so we can leave?"We were here for the pregnant girl. After days of research, we'd discovered there was a pregnant girl. Though we didn't ask how far gone she was, we had agreed to meet her."Stop it, Mom. The residents are watching us. Don't let them hear you speak ill of their place. They look like they wouldn't forgive that." Sabrina seemed wary.I rolled my eyes, inwardly of course. I wasn't stupid enough to just let them see me roll my eyes at their surroundings. Sabrina was right. They looked very rough and tough. Wild and untamed. I wouldn't want to risk losing a part of my body or, even worse, every part of my body."What if the girl's far

    CHAPTER 142ZYLIAH'S POV"Sara, is this true?" I faced Sara, who nodded."Yes, ma'am.""How did you find me? Who's that lady that gave me the piece of paper?" I continued my questioning."Umm...we've been searching for you ever since the news broke. That lady is Callie—she's another one of our cousins. We had her track you. She was able to find out where you stayed, with Martino. So she continued to monitor from a distance, waiting for the chance to see you. She followed you down to the jewelry store and the clothing store. That was it.""So this runs in your family? I mean, betraying people you used to work for?" The accusation and disappointment woven through my words didn't go unnoticed."I'm sorry." They chorused."Do you remember what you did to me, Dora? I trusted you, yet you sold me out. Joined my stepsister and her mother to tell lies against me. To frame me for a crime I never committed."It was six years ago, but the pain and betrayal were suddenly fresh. I'd treated Dora l

    CHAPTER 141ZYLIAH'S POV"Dora, what are you doing here? Is this where you live? Are you the one who wrote this note? Who was that lady that delivered it?" I had so many questions and couldn't help myself from asking them."Let's go inside." She led the way into an old building with peeling paint.The stairs were rusty old metal that made a sharp creaking noise as we climbed them. More like me tiptoeing for fear of putting all of my weight on their shaky stairs and risking breaking a vital part in my body, particularly my spine.This was a nightmare. I was even too scared to look down. What the fuck?! What kind of a place was this? Dora made really good money working for me that year. What happened when she had to resort to living in such a death trap disguised as a home?Soon, the nightmare was over. We entered a passage and stopped when she did before a door and carefully opened it.The door creaked."Sara?" Dora called.I frowned, wondering if it was the same Sara I knew. My eyes s

    CHAPTER 140ZYLIAH'S POVShe appeared confused, furrowing her brows at me. Through the glass of a display case housing a beautiful array of women's designer scarves, I spotted one of the guys patrolling.I pointed at the glass so the young salesgirl saw him.She quietly pulled me into a hidden corner packed with clothes of different sizes and textures. "Why don't we call the cops, and you'll be safe here until they come?"I noticed a customer in blue shorts and a brown hoodie looking in my direction, but it was only briefly before she continued checking out the section where they displayed buttoned shirts for females."Please, don't call the cops. Their boss has an inside man in the police department. It's of no use. They'll just take me to the station under the guise of protecting me and keep me there until he comes to take me away. Please, help me."And it was true. I knew that the only way Martino had freed me from the cell after being arrested by Sayge was because he had connectio
