ChristianIt's Chrisanna's birthday tomorrow. We don't exactly know her birthday. So, it was Ivanna's idea to decide on an official birth date for her which we even used in all her certificates. We celebrated each of her birthdays during vacations. Chrissie loves to travel and explore new places which is why I always found it the best to celebrate their destination birthdays. Until last year.I let out a deep sigh, skimming through the last file and turning off the laptop. It's already 8 in the evening. I believe everyone has left. I had a chat with Ivanna a while ago. And she doesn't seem to remember Chrissie's birthday. That's not shocking to me this year. Or maybe, she deliberately didn't say anything about it. She knows we can't plan a vacation this year, especially after the previous attack Chrissie went through. She's asked to be on best rest for a few weeks. I have to plan at least something for my princess in a few hours. She never sleeps on her birthday nights before I wi
ChristianNo!This is not true.It can not be true. I reread the report. Again and again. My head goes completely numb as I strive to process what I just saw."No", I gasp under my breath, shaking my head in disbelief. What the fuck it can be possible?I fist my hair tightly, pushing myself back to the desk again. My eyes squeeze shut to ensure I'm in complete sense and that whatever I'm seeing is true. I push back and slam the file on the table, anticipation running through my veins. "How can it be possible?"Thea! Thea is Chrisanna's biological mother. This is the last thing on this earth I can ever imagine. She can't be her mother. My daughter is an angel. That nasty woman can't be her mother.Well, she is definitely not. Ivanna is her mother and that's what reflects in Chrissie. But I can't accept the fact that Thea has given birth to her.I don't trust Thea. She's such an evil woman. She can lie, betray and ruin people. Nothing else. I can't trust this. I can never. My
Christian It rings but she doesn't pick up. What the hell!I call her again and again. But she doesn't just pick up, leaving me completely frustrated.I can't wait. I can't waste any more time. And I keep calling her. For a hundred times or more. I badly need to reach her. TheaI watch my phone ringing, Christian's name flashing on the screen as I take sips of my wine near the pool.It's dark and silent all around and I'm enjoying the view and my old ringtone which seems to be melodious now.Christian Scott is calling me. Like a psycho definitely. Even though he was a bit late, he eventually did it. Ever since he made the first call, he didn't stop.And that proves how desperate he is to find me. A few days ago, it was me who kept calling him like this and he didn't bother to pick up. He treated me like a piece of shit. Now, he'll understand how it feels."I'll make you need me, Christian", I laugh aloud and grab my phone. I touch the receive button, eager to hear his sexy vo
TheaI reread Christian's messages like a hundred times since this morning. It makes me laugh and satisfied at the same time. I know he must be going crazy over there now. "Ryan, wait. Your shoelaces—"Tiffany yells, running behind Ryan. The daily routine. That's why I prefer to be alone in my room or anywhere else. Why do kids need to be so annoying? I hope they just grow up quickly and stop causing such chaos.I lean back to the couch as Ryan finally slumps down near me, huffing."Why do you need to run for no reason, Ryan? You end up getting tired", I shrug. He only giggles. Tiffany kneels in front of him and starts tying his shoelaces. But I suddenly find her side-eyeing me. "I'm going, Tiff!" Ryan then runs out of the mansion. He didn't even bother to tell me. Anyway, I don't really want him to report me. But when there's another person near me, especially Tiffany, he should just tell me. It's really insulting that this stupid nanny will think my kids love her more than me.
ChristianI was not ready for this direct question from her. Well, I should have expected this after acting so stupid a while ago. She's not dumb to notice everything.Should I just tell her?Darn it! I can't. Until I'm fully sure that Thea isn't lying, I can't say anything to Ivanna. Before panicking, she would build hopes that Chrissie could get bone marrow. I don't want it to come out as a lie and break her hopes."You're hiding something from me, Chris?" Her voice tone suddenly changes into a serious one as she scans me with her lingering gaze."No!" I snap. "Why do you feel like that? I never hid something from you"But now I'm doing it. She takes a few seconds to stare at me, making my heart pound against my chest. Then she smiles, squeezing my hand. "I know. I can see you're disturbed about all this. Maybe, you reacted out of nowhere", she says.The thing which makes me feel bad the most is I never needed to give her an explanation. She never asked for one. Instead, she just
ChristianI freeze on that spot and gape at them, turning behind."Yeah. It's her birthday", Ivanna says with a big smile. "How did you get to know? Oh, I see— no, that's fine. We didn't organise a party so— yeah. You can send her a gift anytime"My throat dries up and I twist the knob harder. "Yeah. She's awake. You can talk to her", Ivanna gives the phone to Chrissie. Thea is ignoring my calls and messages just to frustrate me. Nothing else. But I badly need to talk to her. But how? I can't tell Ivanna to pass the call. It'll look weird.Between, I don't know how to feel at this moment. Chrissie is happily talking to her. I hope— I just hope she has no plan to snatch my daughter away from me. Even though we have all the legal procedures done, people like Thea can play dirty games to get what they want. I can't trust her with my daughter either."Umm— I love chocolates. But I love candies the most", Chrissie giggles."Are you done?" I groan in a bit louder tone which shakes Chris
Christian Dr Roche, the man almost in his fifties frowns at my question. "So, you want me to make sure the sample matches this one?" He looks down at the sample of hair I got from Chrisanna today."Yes. I want you to match this one with those samples. I wanna be sure that the sample which Mrs Fox gave you was Chrisanna's", I tell him.He furrows his eyebrows. "But Mr Scott, that's not our policy. We can't let you interfere with other samples without the permission of the previous client"I take a deep breath, not to lose it. "Listen, Dr Roche", I take a step closer to him, my voice shaking. "I can definitely do it. Your policy sucks. Because I'm the legal guardian of Chrisanna. Any random woman comes to you to do a DNA test. That's fine?""Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know. But well, people do DNA tests to find out the truth. We just want things to be private. But since the child is legally yours, we'll definitely do it for you"I shake my head. "How much time is it gonna take? Well, no
ChristianThe only thing I never wanted in my life was to drive along with Thea when the evening is almost darkening. To my surprise, she has been silent ever since she got into the car. And I'm really glad about it. Since she has agreed, I'm hoping the result will come out positive. I'm so fucking hopeful about it. We reach the hospital and Thea gets down before me and even starts walking toward the entrance. I have already talked to the doctors to arrange an urgent test schedule. But I'm not sure if the result will come out now. After getting all the procedures done, Patricia takes Thea for the test and I wait at the reception. My head is completely blank right now. I had switched my phone off the entire day to avoid any interaction with Ivanna. However, now it seems like the procedure is gonna take a long time. I can't worry about her. As soon as I switch my phone on, my phone starts exploding with messages and calls. Most are from Ivanna.Without wasting another second, I cal
