View MoreYOUR CHILD.
Emma's POV.
"Mrs. Williams, are you sure this girl is your child?" The doctor, Mr. Frank, asked a question that sent shivers down my spine.
What the heck! Why would he even ask such?
"Of course she is. Who else's child would she be if not mine? I mean I did carry her for nine months." I told him and he sighed, while removing the gloves from his hands.
"I am sorry, Mrs. Williams but I think you are mistaken because after running a blood test now, I just realized that you and her share a completely different blood group." The doctor began and my lips parted in awe.
What did he just say? Was I mishearing things now?
"You are AB and she is O negative, so there are no matches at all and no way she can be your daughter." He ended as I began to feel my hands trembling.
"No. That's impossible." I shook my head sideways as I took a step backwards, refusing to believe the doctor's words.
He had to be playing a prank on me right? But now wasn't the time because my daughter, my little baby girl, Gina had an accident in school.
She fell off a swing, during lunch break and slammed her head against the floor's concrete hard so she was rushed here to the hospital but had lost a lot of blood.
I was called over for a blood transfusion because her blood group was super rare so the hospital didn't have it on standby.
I was ready to donate, only to discover that Gina might not be mine?
"No. This has to be some sort of Joke." I refuted the doctor's words and he rubbed the bridge of his nose, frustrated.
"You know what, ma'am? This is not the time to be arguing this. The child needs a donation fast so could you possibly get your husband here? His has to work." The doctor said and even though I wanted to argue more and prove him wrong, I had to get Derek here, first.
Gina had to be saved. I couldn't lose her too and she was definitely mine. It was probably the doctor's fault, who didn't know how to run a test well.
I dialed Derek's number immediately but it kept going straight into voicemail. I gritted my teeth against one another and kept trying till it finally rang and he picked up.
"What is it, woman?" He grunted heavily, like I had just disturbed him from something important.
I was about to speak when....
"Whatever you are about to say better be useful or you would regret ever disturbing me." He threatened and I went mute, my heart tightening in pain as I clenched my fists.
When did we become like this?
I thought he promised to never get tired or act annoyed around me.
"Gina is in the hospital. She had an accident and the doctor is demanding that you donate to her." I told him and the next thing I heard was a loud noise, like something had just crashed.
I jolted and was about to ask if everything was okay when Derek roared.
"You had just one Job, you failure of a woman. Keep my child safe and yet, once again, you failed. I am on my way." He ended the call without even awaiting my response but I wasn't fluttered.
That was how my husband who promised me heaven and earth after our marriage began to act some years after.
Also, naturally, Derek would always push stuffs like this on me and demand that the doctor let me donate instead, but why didn't he say that and agreed to come right away?
'That was very unlike him.' I thought as a feeling of dread began to arise in me.
A few minutes later, Derek dashed into the hospital, all sweaty. He was breathing heavily, the first few buttons of his shirt, unbuttoned.
"Where is she?" He demanded, his jaw tightening as he grabbed me by the arm. As he came closer, I perceived a familiar, lavender cologne from him and my heart stopped.
This wasn't Derek's perfume and only a certain woman I knew, used this type of perfume so how come it was all over Derek?
Just then I sighted a red lipstick on his collar and I froze.
'Could it be what I was thinking? Could D.....' I was still wondering when his nails dug into my flesh and I flinched from the pain.
"Answer me, woman." He snapped, obviously pissed as he started to shake me roughly.
I was about to answer him when just then;
"Over here, Mr. Williams. Please come quickly." I heard Mr. Frank's voice and turned to see him walking out of one of the wards.
Derek immediately released me and followed the doctor for a test, since he wanted to confirm if Derek would be a match too.
But he had to be right? And why didn't mine match?
'What the hell was going on.' I groaned as I began to feel my head ache from too much thinking.
But could I be blamed? I had so many questions to ask and I also needed answers for them.
But first of all, Gina had to be okay.
I began to pace the hospital, worried as my heart pounded heavily against my chest, with each step.
Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and decided to go meet up with my husband and Mr. Frank when I came across them, in the hallway.
Their backs were facing me so I couldn't be noticed.
"The transfusion was successful, Mr. Williams. Congratulations to you and your wife." Mr. Frank told Derek with a smile.
My heart soared with happiness as I controlled the urge to scream from excitement, while breathing out a sigh of relief.
Yes, my baby girl had been saved.
"Alright, Doctor. When can I see her?" Derek asked.
"In an hour or two. She should be awake then as she is currently resting." Mr. Frank responded and I was about to step forward to make them aware of my presence but......
"If you don't mind sir, I have a question. How come your wife isn't a match to your daughter whereas you are?" He inquired and his question made me pause as an ominous feeling began to brew in the air.
"I barely see rare cases like this, though it might be possible." Mr. Frank further said and Derek burst into a laugh that made my stomach drop.
"I guess but unfortunately this isn't one of those cases, because it's simple. My wife isn't the biological mother of Gina and would never be." His words knocked the air out of me as my blood turned cold.

BURNING THE PROMISE RING.Emma’s POV.The late afternoon sun was casting a warm glow over the city skyline as I sat on the sofa in our penthouse living room, and the transition from watching our televised press conference on the news channel to hearing the private elevator doors slide open was completely peaceful as Mark escorted Julian into the main foyer. Julian was wearing a plain dark suit and carrying a single travel bag over his shoulder, looking quiet, calm, and completely resigned to his new reality as he stepped into the living room space toward where I was sitting."Good afternoon, Emma, I asked Mark if I could stop by the penthouse for just five minutes before my escort takes me to the airport runway, because I wanted to see you one last time before leaving the country for good," Julian said, standing near the edge of the carpet while keeping his hands politely at his sides."Good afternoon, Julian, I am glad you came to say goodbye, and I hope you know that neither Nathan
CLEARING THE FAMILY NAME.Nathan’s POV.The afternoon sun was shining brightly through the wide windows of the central media hall at Zander Logistics headquarters as dozens of reporters from national news stations were taking their seats, and the transition from standing inside my private dressing room to walking down the hallway with Emma and Joel was completely smooth while Mark stayed two steps behind us. Joel held a certified legal folder under his arm, holding the final stamped court dismissal order that permanently froze all secondary claims against the Quinn Trust, clearing Richard Quinn’s estate of every single legal encumbrance once and for all."Good afternoon, Nathan, the press room is completely filled with over fifty media representatives, and every major television channel in the country is currently broadcasting this press conference live on their network," Joel reported, tapping his tablet device to check the media feeds before we stepped up onto the stage."Is the fin
THE PSYCHIATRIC RESTRAINT.Emma’s POV.The morning sun was shining through the window as Nathan and I sat together at the table while Joel walked into the room carrying a folder, and the transition from reviewing our morning schedule to discussing Chloe's medical evaluation was completely smooth because our lawyer had just received the official court report from the hospital precinct. Joel set the folder down on the table surface, pulling out several pages of medical documentation while looking across at us with a serious expression on his face."Good morning, Emma and Nathan, I have just received the final evaluation report from the court-appointed psychiatrist who examined Chloe at the medical center following her arrest at the gala last night," Joel said, opening the paper pages in front of us."What did the psychiatrist say about Chloe's mental state after evaluating her behavior during the gala breakdown and her arson attempt upstate, Joel?"

JULIAN’S SURRENDER.Nathan’s POV.The morning sun was shining bright through my high-rise office windows as I sat behind my desk table, and the transition from stepping off the private elevator to starting our legal meeting with Julian was completely smooth as Joel laid out three separate paper contracts on the table surface. Julian was sitting in the leather chair directly across from me, looking exhausted, nervous, and thoroughly defeated while Mark stood near the closed office door monitoring our conversation."Good morning, Julian, I appreciate you showing up to my office on time, because today we are going to finalize your complete legal surrender regarding the Quinn Trust," I said, leaning my arms flat against my desk table as I looked straight into his eyes."I am so glad you agreed to meet with me today, Nathan, because after watching the police drag Chloe out of that gala ballroom last night, I want nothing more than to sign these paper files and put this entire nightmare beh
