Lihat lebih banyak"Oh my God, The baby is coming", Annie cried through gritted teeth as wave after wave of pain ruptured through her body. "Come my love, everything is going to be okay, we will reach the hospital soon" Peter Walter's escorts his beautiful wife Annie to his Lincoln. The driver holds the door open as Peter helps Annie inside the luxurious car. "STEP ON IT!" The driver jumps into his seat and speeds to St Michael's private hospital. Peter could not bear to see his wife in pain. Her water bag already broke and was messing his plush, expensive interior but he didn't care. Annie was all he cared about.
Fifteen minutes later, Annie is wheeled to the delivery room. Beads of sweat line her forehead. Peter stands outside pacing. He eagerly awaits the birth of his son, the heir of Walter's industries. This baby was a game changer. Since his two brothers have also had sons of their own. He now stood a chance to claim a peice of the pie.
Minutes felt like hours. He now sat on the bench tapping his fingers on the wooden arm rest anxiously. The door opens and the doctor steps out. "Congratulations Mr Walters".
Peter rushes in. He did not expect the doctor to have anything else to say. His wife lay on the bed craddling her bundle of joy. Peter walks to her bedside in three long strides with his long slender legs. He leaned in and kissed his wife looking at the new addition to their family. The colour drained from his face, he looked as if he had seen a ghost. Annie looked concerned,"is there something wrong dear?"
All the warmth vanished from his eyes.His eyes were now as cold as ice.Looking at the baby, she had skin as white as snow, rosy red lips and a tuft of soft curly blond hair, "Get rid of it! She is no child of mine, I wanted a heir, not a burden of a daughter, there is no place for her in my home"
Turning his back to his wife he stormed out of the room. Annie's eyes burned and the tears dropped from her eyelids as she squeezed them shut. The doctor had told her during delivery there were complications and she had lost an extensive amount of blood. She had only minutes to live after delivery. She held Adrianna tightly in her arms, " I am sorry my baby, I won't be here to give you a mothers love, I am sure your father will come around and love you enough for the both of us, I will always watch you from up above my darling". She kissed Adrianna's forehead feeling at peace. Her heart was full of love.
Annie closed her eyes and took her last breath as tears rolled down her cheeks. The monitor on the side of her bed started to beep. The nurses and doctor rushed in seeing Annie's lifeless body on the bed with Adrianna still in her arms. Doctor Russell carried Adrianna in his arms as Peter walked in, he was concerned with all the commotion going on," Im sorry Mr walters, I tried to tell you".
Doctor Russel was emotional,he could feel the tears welling up in his eyes, and blinked them back. In all his deliveries this was the first where he had lost the mother but had an incredibly healthy baby. There was pain and joy in this day.
Peter glared at the doctor coldly as he made no attempt to take the infant from his extended arms. He took out his cellphone and made a call.
"The maid, Martha, will be here to collect this filth, I am leaving" The room felt instantly cold. The doctor stood in shock. Adrianna was sound asleep in his arms, oblivious to the life she would be living. Dr Russell felt deeply saddened but he knew there was nothing he could.
Time of death: five fifty seven pm.
He handed over the baby to the nurse and jotted down the necessary notes following protocol. Adrianna was taken to the nursery. The nurse wrapped her snugly in a pink blanket, after giving her a warm bath and lay her in the crib.
Annie's body was sent to the morgue and her belongings sent with the maid that collected Adrianna. There wasn't much except the chain and locket that she wore. The maid knew that Mrs Walters would want her only daughter to have it. She carefully tucked it in her pocket for safe keeping until Adrianna had grown.
One year later.Patrick Walters had left this world. Adrianna and John had stuck to their word and did not divulge his secret. And in return Patrick Walters had stuck to his.He eventually broke the news to them a week before he could pass away.He had traveled the world with Felicia. He finally took the holiday. He finally spent timw with his wife. He did all the things he wanted to before he closed his eyes. Everyone was heart broken but they now knew that he was safe in the arms of the lord. He had one last and final request and they had honored it.He asked to be buried next to Annie. He knew he could not make amends in this lifetime. But he maybe after death he could.
The lights in the hall went out and everyone gasped. As a blue spot light shone on Adrianna only.The bright light now caught her by surprise. She was startled but held her composure.Although......She felt nervous standing all alone, she looked down and John was no longer in his wheelchair. Alex had also disappeared.She felt scared, her breathing was now frantic and her heart was pounding.Her mind was racing, all the thoughts of losing John flooded her imagination, her hands trembled.She felt she was going to have a nervous breakdown when a song started to play.She was taken out of her frantic mind torture. The song started to soothe her. It was a s
Alex, John and Adrianna now entered the art gallery in the museum. It was huge. Paintings were hung all over the walls. Adrianna absorbed its beauty. Taking it all in. She reached a sunset painting on the wall and froze.She could not help but stare at the name engraved in the bottom right corner.ANNIE WALTERS.Adrianna looked at John mouthing the words thank you. As a tear slipped from her eye she gently dabbed her cheek.This was something to be happyabout.

John and Alex arrived at the museum. It was just before 5pm. They place was full of people. He could already see Sierra enjoying the spotlight before she entered. John's parents where already at the venue. They had called to let him know.John looked at the reporters, every journalist is New York was here. He smiled. Today they would get a good story.He lookes at the spotlights highlighting the old museum. It made it look like it was an ancient relic. He knew Adrianna would love it. He loves it. "Alex, thank you. Everything is to the tea. It is better than I imaginedit"." If you think this is fly, wait till you see the inside", Alex chuckled.Alex got of the limousine and waited for the chauffeur to bring John's wheel chair, " do you really have to use this? I mean can't you just walk? You can say u miraculously recovered!!!".
Patrick adorned himself in the finest suit. Black with navy trimmings, a navy tie and a white shirt. He looked handsome for his age. For a dying man he looked happy and healthy. He smiled at himself in the mirror. Felicia was brushing his thinning hair. Today he knew that he would sign over his company to Adrianna. He knew that she was the most suited. She had earned it. Felicia had worn a navy blue dress. It was long sleeved and draped the floor as she walked. Her hair was curled and pinned to one side. And around her neck she wore her wedding jewelry set. A bright blue gem set onto a white gold choker. " You look ravishing my darling", Patrick said as he turned around to look at her. He hated lying to her about his illness but he didn't want anyone's pity. He knew he had just few weeks and after tod
Adrianna reached home after her spa treatment and hair appointment.Her skin glowed like a new born baby. It was soft and supple. Her hair had been put up loosely with curls.

Her make up was done plain but simple.Her eyes had a gold evening glow eye shadow with a hint of glitter.Her rosy red cheeks were powdered and blended. And her lips had a blood red lipstick which brought out her beautiful features.She looked at her nails, they were french tipped with red roses on them.She sat on her bed and applied rose scented lotion on her body.
