I sipped on my glass of scotch before I adjusted the computer so I could have a better view of my son.

He was in PE class; they were playing basketball, and I must admit my son was talented. He knew how to work with the ball.

“Mr. Roberts?” A voice snapped me back to reality, and turning that way, I saw the panicked man standing in front of me.

“What?”

“I wanted to know if you want to go to the field for a better view, of course.”

“Get out.”

“Sir?”

“I hate repeating myself.”

“Okay, sir. Whatever you say.” He bowed, hesitated before turning toward the door. I thought he had left until I heard his annoying voice at this point: “Would you like a cigarette, maybe?” he asked. I could see the fear in his eyes, which told me a cigarette wasn’t what he wanted to offer me first.

“How does a school have cigarettes?”

“I’m the principal, the same way I have alcohol is the—”

“No, now get out before I change my mind and cut your head.” Shit, he was sweating like a pig. I mean, for a p

  • Ex-husband Demands Remarriage   Chapter 0039

    I honestly wasn’t believing my ears right now. I knew Christian had always been protective, and according to him, I shouldn’t bother looking for my mother because she didn’t bother looking for me. But this was my decision, and I needed him to respect that.I was with Parker, and she was already watching me since I’d exclaimed.I didn’t want to confront Christian in front of Parker—she might pick up some bad words or sense the tension, and I was really pissed at Christian, especially for causing me to leave that PI all alone in such a disgusting environment.So, I did what felt best at the moment—I cut the call without warning.“Mommy, did you just end the call in Uncle Christian’s ear?” Okay, how the hell did this girl know?“Yes, baby.” I couldn’t lie to her.“But isn’t that rude?” Again with these big questions! I swear, if Parker was someone else’s daughter, I’d be wondering what was going on, but she was my daughter—of course

    There was no Christian. Presley wanted to continue seeing me. She wanted to sleep with me. Of course, she created such a narrative. She thinks I'm stupid.I chuckled to myself as Presley looked at me, probably thinking I believed her."So?" she asked as I turned to her."You know, being a lawyer, you have to learn to read people," I said, and she nodded."And so is being a PI. Now I am going to work on your friend and see why he's doing this.""No, you're not," I said, putting on my seatbelt."What?""Get out of my car.""I don't understand.""Listen." I turned and faced her. "I know Atlanta is full of straight women, but being this desperate will just jeopardize your career.""Okay…?" She laughed. "What's happening?""I know you want to keep seeing me, so you built this lie to get an excuse.""Ms. Sterling, I know you're pretty, and I won't lie, I would love to taste those lips, but my work comes first. I'm not lying to you. This woman—""Was my mother, and she's dead.""They used yo

    At this point, I wasn’t even sure how I was still breathing. My heart had stopped beating a while ago.My mother.How could she just die on the very same day I came to find her? What kind of cruel joke was God playing on me? Why now?I could hear Presley and the lobby man still talking, but none of it made sense. The words were English, but they weren’t registering. My ears were blocked like I was underwater.First, I was born the wrong gender—my father wanted a boy. And I turned out to be a girl. That was the beginning of my curse.I never knew what a mother’s love felt like, and that scar still follows me. Sometimes, I wonder if I’m even a good parent to Parker... all because I never had a parent myself.My dad only ever gave me money. The only thing I learned from him was survival. How to please Aaliyah and his wife—or else I’d be cut loose. That was the training. That was my childhood.If it hadn’t been for the brilliant mother-authors who wrote parenting books, I don’t know how I

    I took a moment to take everything in before telling Presley I was ready. I didn't want to waste a second. Sure, I was scared and didn’t know what I’d say to her… but I believed everything would fall into place when I saw her. Right now, I just needed that motherly hug—the one I never got.“I arranged this meetup. I insist I pay,” I said, pushing Presley's money back.“I thought so too, but you're so gorgeous, and I've never been on a date with such a pretty lady. So allow me.” She pushed her money back, and I sighed, then called for a waitress. As soon as she got there, I quickly handed her the money from my purse, payment, and a fair tip.“Damn, and you're smart too,” she muttered, watching how fast I worked.“If you're a lawyer, you'd understand,” I said as I stood up. She stood too, and then her phone rang. She told me she’d take the call outside. I asked for a bottle of water and told her to go ahead—I’d meet her out front.Presley left, and I sat back down, my knees too weak to

    Have you ever had a gun pointed right in the middle of your forehead? God, if you don't have guts, you might actually pee yourself.Now, I’ve been in dangerous situations before—divorce settlements can get messy like that. I’ve had guns pulled on me, screamed at, nearly run over. So yes, danger wasn’t exactly new. But this? This was a different kind.“You better not move, lady,” the man warned.He was wearing a mask, voice muffled and shaky. I froze—not because I was scared for myself, but because I thought of my daughter. She only had me. I still had to bring another child into this world before I could die. So yeah, not today.I slowly raised my hands, trying to show I wasn’t a threat. That’s when he frowned and asked, “What are you doing?”Okay… clearly, this guy didn’t know what he was doing. His voice cracked, the gun wobbled, and I noticed something—his finger wasn’t even on the trigger. He was trembling. A total amateur.Still, I played it cool. He had a gun, real or not.Then

    I moved back and searched for the document that had her profile. “Mrs. Roberts,” I said, glancing down at it. It said she was a businesswoman who owned a jewelry store. I almost laughed. There was no way she could work.“No, don't even think about it.”“Excuse me?”“Oh, don't act like you don't know. I know you're Valeria.”“I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you have the wrong person.”“Wrong person? Haha.” She laughed, and I kept my composure. “Did you hear that? She says I have the wrong person.” She turned to my secretary, who gave her a confused look.“Mrs. Roberts, would you like to sit?” my secretary asked, watching her like some kind of psycho. That clearly pissed her off because she snapped back.“This is Valeria. I know her.”“Ma'am, would you like me to call security?” the secretary turned to me. She obviously didn't believe her. And as much as I wanted to watch security drag my crazy sister out of here—and by security, I mean the two guys Christian insisted stay on me—I still hadn’
