Harden was shocked, his hands held tight on his wheelchair wheel as he looked at Adele, her face, her hair, the color of her eyes. It’s all different from the girl he was shown to be the mother of his kids. As she nervously looks at him, he sees his little daughter in her. “What’s the meaning of this? explain to me, are you the sister to the mother of my twin?” Harden asked as he was confused at the looks. “I have no sister, I’m Adele Hennston, the mother of the twin,” she said for Harden to scoff. “Jokes,” he said for Adele to shake her head. “It’s not a joke, I’m the… “Shut the fuck up, their mother is dead, she died while giving birth to….. “No, it’s all lies, Harden. Your mother kept me away for the nine months I was pregnant with the twins. I never wanted you to know when I found out I was pregnant but she insisted I give out the babies and act dead towards them or not she would kill them and also kill me. I didn’t want anything to happen to them that’s why I stayed
Harden bows his head as everything about his life for the past five years is turning a new leaf. If it comes out to be true, he can’t explain how he will react not just to his mother but to his trusted assistant. “Ah,” Adele gasped as the needle pierced into her skin to drag out some blood for testing. “Daddy” they all heard Zia's little voice call as he tiny step rushed towards the study. Immediately, Harden rides his wheelchair to the door. He opened it and drove himself out closing it behind him. “Daddy!!” Zia hugged her father giggling. “Where’s Miss Maya, I made something for her” Adele heard her daughter say which made her smile. Franklin looked at her as he gently removed the needle from her skin. “They have gotten fond of you,” he says for Adele to nod. “He thought them little manners” she responded for Franklin to chuckle. “If what you said is true, a new chapter will begin, and trust me, for you, it won’t be easy. I will do the test and hope for a good result
The dining hall was silent, Adele's ears were ringing from the thunderous sound that landed on her face. Amid the quiet room, Zia's crying voice brought back the atmosphere and Harden rode his wheelchair towards his crying daughter. “Come honey” Harden tried to carry his daughter but she ran away. Zayn also left the adults who stood in silence. “Thomas” Harden called his butler who rushed towards him. “Take Amaya out of here, she’s suspended,” he said for Adele to look at him. “You are suspended until further notice. Mom” Harden called looking at his mother. Adele couldn’t hold her tears so she left in running tears. “My maids are not for you to hit mother,” Harden said for Maria to scoff. “She dares talk back at me Harden, how dare…. “She’s doing her job mother, her job is to take care of the twin no matter what, she’s doing her job,” Harden said for Maria to scoff. “I see. Then it’s her job also to talk back at me right? Is that the reason she got only a suspension?
Gwen happily sat facing Zach who arranged his suit after sitting down. She last saw Harden when she was seventeen and that was when his mother invited her over for dinner warning her to stay away from her son. She felt heartbroken but also understood after his mother explained to her why Harden did not need a woman in his life. She left to never look back but every day, she hoped he would come looking for her, anytime she saw him on TV, the love they once shared had a renewing day. Even after hearing he had a secret marriage with one of New York's popular models, she cried but still felt one day Harden McCall the guy they both had a high school love would come back to her. She smiles still looking at Zach as deep down she prays this is a welcome to the McCall. “My madam wants you for dinner this evening, it’s very important, Note that you might not be coming back anytime soon.” He said for Gwen to look at him. “What’s with the dinner and me not coming back?” She asks for Zach
At a restaurant on the elite side of the city, the red-haired lady who just round up with her evening shift removed her apron while still on her uniform. She hung the apron on the staff hanger when her little phone began to ring.“ Gracie” she called to hear the worried voice of her friend speak at the other end of the phone.“Adele, I need you, I don’t know what I did to my client. Please you should come to the hotel, don’t call the cops…..“ calm down Grace, what happened and tell me the name of your hotel.” Adele immediately carried a paper to write it t down.“Western Hotel Room 2……..8,” Grace said as the signal began to break.“Room 2 what Gracie, I can’t hear you” Adele worriedly said as she tried to correct the number of the room.“ 2….8” The phone bumps for Adele to sigh.“Goodness,” she worriedly said as she didn’t know if it was 28 or 208. She knows it’s two, a middle number before eight but she doesn’t know which exactly so she decided to go with room 208.“ Mary, I’m out,”
The knock on the door woke Adele up, she groaned and weakly sat up and found out she was in a hotel room.“Fuck” she cursed rubbing her scattered hair as she looked around and the stranger is gone. She looks inside her blanket and finds herself still naked.The knock began to hit again for Adele to quickly stand up, and rush on her clothes before carrying her bag. She rushed out of the room for the cleaner to look at her as she rushed out.“Grace” she called crying as she regretted the decision she took last night.She called her friend's number as she stopped a taxi to their apartment.After multiple rings Grace picked.“Where have you been?” her husky voice asked for Adele to burst into tears.“ I’m so sorry Grace, where are you?” She asked to hear her friend's voice.“Home,” she said and hung up for Adele to rub her scattered hair crying.“ Adele, what did you do?” She said crying. The taxi stopped at an apartment for Adele to come out and pay her bills before she rushed into their
It’s been a week since Adele confirmed her pregnancy, she continues her work as a waitress because deciding to keep the child means extra expenses and she doesn’t know who the father is to tell him she’s having his baby. She’s three weeks gone and she felt easily tired and weak apart from the morning sickness.She hung her apron on her stand as she was done with her shift for the day.“Can you come by morning tomorrow, Samira just called she won’t be able to make the morning shift or the evening because of her sick father” the manager said to Adele who sighed.“Extra pay?” She asked for the manager to nod.“Sure,” he said smiling at Adele who nodded her head.“Ok,” she said knowing she needed the money.Adele left the front of their restaurant as she walked to the bus stop to wait for the next bus ride.“Goodness,” she sighed looking for where to sit as she was feeling dizzy and nauseous. She carried her little phone to call Grace to find out if she would be coming home for the night.
It’s been nine months since Adele disappeared, Grace has searched everywhere possible but nothing or a trace of her best friend. She filled out a missing person report and after two months it died down like she never asked for her friend to be found.It was dark already, Grace didn’t take her night shift as she was ill. Since Adele left, life seems meaningless for her but she wants to keep trying to at least know what happened to her friend. She watched their photos together on her phone and tears began to roll down. “ I hate you, I fucking hate you, Ade. Why did you just disappear without a clue? Did you even have me in your mind? You know you all I got” she said as tears began to rush down her eyes.Grace kept going through their memories until she fell asleep.At the wooden house, the sweet melody of the wood birds sounds so melodious, Inside the beautiful room, a red-haired lady sat close to her window, her big round stomach grew every day like she was being stocked with food and
