Reid observed the gentle rise and fall of Vida's chest with a watchful eye. The doctor, offering a comforting gesture, tapped his shoulder in reassurance.

"She will be alright." With a resigned sigh, Reid nodded. The soft click of the door signaled the doctor's departure, leaving the room enveloped in silence. The silence was temporary. Almost immediately raised voices erupted outside the door. He cast a glance towards the door, thinking it might be other families but the voices sounded too near. To satisfy his curiosity, he approached the door and swung it open.

The scene shocked him. The doctor stood in front of the door, blocking Jacintha from entering Vida's room. “I am her mother! Get out of my way!” she demanded, her voice raw with panic.

“Ma’am, you can't claim to be the child's mother without proper procedure,” the doctor argued, flustered.

“Doctor,” Reid’s voice cut through the tension, low and authoritative. The doctor turned to him. Jacintha glanced up at him. He let out a

    When they exited the doctor's office, the air felt heavy with thousands of questions, unspoken emotions. The silence was too loud, Jacintha sniffed, a reminder of how much she cried earlier. She followed Reid down the hallway, they reached the door of Vida's ward. He turned to her, she stopped in her tracks, glancing up at him. It is today that she just realized how tall he is, her cheeks went hot recalling how they hugged earlier. “You should go home and get some rest,” Reid said, his voice low with exhaustion. He ran a hand over his face. “I will stay with her.”For a moment, all her anger was gone, replaced with the desperation of a tired mother. But, the doctor's words echoed in her mind. “Why did the doctor say ‘biological mother’?” she asked, her voice dangerously low. “You did not... you did not put Bianca’s name on my daughter's birth certificate as her mother, did you?”Reid’s lips parted, he shook his head slowly, brows snapped together. “No! I didn’t. Bianca accompani

  • Divorced Heiress Is Now A Billionaire    Chaos in school

    The next morning, Vida was excited to got to school. She had no idea of how she turned the Internet upside down, all she remembered was her mother’s warm hug. She chattered happily to Ben about her new teacher and the big playground, her small hands clutching her lunchbox.But the atmosphere at the prestigious ‘Oakridge Academy’ was different today. The news had spread like wildfire through the parent group chats and the staff room. As Vida walked to her classroom, heads turned. Whispers followed her everywhere, at first she didn't notice. Later it became glaring, everybody stared at her everywhere she went. “That’s her…” “...the one on the news…” “...is her father really Reid Andros?”Her classroom, once a place of fascinating new books and colorful toys, felt like a cage. Children, coached by their parents or simply mimicking the curiosity of the adults around them, stared openly. A boy from the next table poked her arm. “Is your mom the lady who fights with your dad on TV?”Vida

    The world had narrowed to the sight of her daughter’s bright, trusting face. For a heart-stopping moment, Jacintha’s every instinct was Reid’s instinct: to snatch Vida up, hide her face. But then she looked at Vida, who was beaming with joy, completely unaware of the sharks circling in the water. I will not be like him, Jacintha vowed silently. I will not hide my daughter. With a quiet resolve of a proud mother, Jacintha hugged her tighter. She scooped her up. “Hello, my baby princess,” she said, her voice deliberately calm and loud enough to be heard over the clicking lenses. “Did you have a good first day?”“It was the best, Mommy! But Vida missed you,” Vida chirped, nuzzling into her neck.“I missed you too, my love.” Jacintha kissed her cheek. She opened the car door and carefully buckled her into the car seat. “Mommy has a lot of work to do, I will see you at home.”She turned her gaze to Ben. He paled, lowering his head. She sighed, if it was up to him he would not have brou

    The boardroom felt more suffocating than usual, At the head of the oval glass table, Jacintha presided with a chill that could shatter glass, her focus entirely on the quarterly reports. Across from her, Reid was unusually quiet, normally he would have interrupted anything she said just to irk her, she would have also found one thing or the other to taunt him with. But now, both are silent. Their silence terrified the employees more than when they fight. The news of Jacintha not allowing Reid to board the elevator with her had spread like wildfire.He sat at the end of the oval glass table, one hand holding his pen, the other resting on the documents in front of him. His jaw tight, even though there were documents in front of him, his eyes betrayed him. Every few minutes, they drifted at her. Jacintha didn't spare him a glance, not once. Her gaze fixed on the projection screen ahead. Her demeanor flawless as she discussed the company's quarterly plans. Estelle, seated beside her br

    When Jacintha woke up, she caressed her daughter's cheek. After putting her to sleep last night, she couldn't bear to leave her side. She was surprised at how Vida slept alone so easily. Then she realized, she grew up with her father so she must have learnt to sleep by herself at a very young age. Her eyelids fluttered open, she blinked and rubbed her eyes. The first face she saw was her mother's normally it was always the nanny's face. Papa would have gone to work, then the nanny would prepare for her home classes, the teacher would come, she would take classes, eat, play, the classes would end. She would exercise, eat again and go to sleep. Vida blinked again, a bright smile spread across her face. “Good morning baby.” Jacintha pulled her cheeks. Vida giggled and hugged her mother. “Mommy.” her voice came muffled. She raised her little head up.“Am I your baby? Papa always call me Princess, so I'm a baby princess?”,Jacintha laughed. “Yes you are, darling.” She suddenly sat up
