Victoria

I took one last look at my reflection before leaving the room.

I had a lunch date with Mrs. Brooks and Mrs. Everett.

Stepping out of the room, I closed the door and walked down the hallway. At the side of the hallway, there was a frame. In front of it, a maid was cleaning; she stopped and turned.

She bowed, saying a greeting.

I walked past her.

I held the rails as I walked down the stairs. It was already past 12 pm. Immediately I got to the sitting room, I was greeted by an unusual sight, an unusual presence.

Mason was seated on the couch, and my daughter, Zoe, was in front of him.

I haven't seen her for the past five years. She looked as young and pretty as she had always been.

Was she here for a surprise visit? My steps slowed, you could barely hear my shoes clicking on the floor. Maybe they did hear but didn't want to turn.

They were too engrossed in the conversation they were having.

“What do you think? It's been five days.” Mason said, staring at his phone, his h

    Mason“Mason, what did you do to Julia?” Mom asked immediately as she stepped into the room.Mom walked into the room with a serious expression plastered on her face. She stepped in front of me and crossed her hands under her chest. I was seated on the bed.“Mason, I asked you a question. What did you do to Julia?”I passed my hand over my hair, frustrated. Releasing a sigh, I said, “Mom, why do you think I did something to her?” Why didn't you think she did something to me? She was always on Julia's side.“It's clear you're the only one who has such effects on Julia,” Mom said, her voice calmer this time. “She just left with her eyes stained with tears. She was crying. She walked closer to me and sat on the side of the bed, plopping down a bit.“Mason, I know this was a surprise, but you have to calm down. Listen to her, she's carrying your baby.”I shook my head. “No,” Mom doesn't understand. “She did not tell me she was pregnant.” Then I looked at my mom while drawing my brows tog

    Mason I couldn't wrap my head around what I just heard. Julia is pregnant. And he would only help me if I got married to Julia.I wasn't aware till he mentioned it. I tried to laugh at first, thinking he was telling a joke; maybe he wanted to scare me. But when he kept a straight face, I knew he wasn't joking. “That's the only option. If you don't get married to my daughter before the end of this month, then forget about getting help from me; I'll even ensure your company gets wiped out of history.”“Are you threatening me?” I asked.One side of his lips pulled to the side, “no, it's just a warning,” he stated. I clenched my hands together. “You've been with my daughter for five years. Your first marriage didn't even last that long.” He paused and continued, “Julia is precious to me, and if you knew you didn't want her, then you should have let her go earlier, not get her knocked up and toss her to the side.”He slowed and then inhaled sharply, all this while I bit the inside of

    Lydia“We need to talk,” Mason said, stepping close to me.“About what?” I questioned, raising a brow. He dipped his hand into his pocket. What could he want to say that he had to wait for me outside the restroom.“Can we go somewhere more private?” I don't want to go anywhere with him, even if we were going to just talk.I twisted my lips, contemplating for a brief moment if following him was a good option; I ended up following him either way. We walked out of the restaurant and stood in front of his car. I didn't understand what was so private about that place.Standing in front of him, I crossed my hand over my chest. “What did you want to talk about?” I asked.“Lydia, why are you doing this?” I squinted, “doing what?”This man really couldn't handle a rival. At least he shouldn't make it so obvious. “Did you block me?” He asked. Oh, this is what this is all about?“Yes!” I said straightforwardly.“Why did you block me? I just wanted to talk, what was so wrong about that?”“Why w

    LydiaZoe is back; that was what I kept thinking about all these while staring at my screen. Why did she refuse to come back all this while? Why is she back now? What if Mom is right?Sigh!This was all too much to handle. I closed my laptop and stood.She is the cause of this all. I don't blame her for being unable to tell the truth about what happened that day. If I got a chance to go back there and know all these would be repeated, I would choose to do the same.We had a good relationship and could almost pass for sisters. I sometimes miss her. When I gave birth, at the earliest stage of my twins in my life, I found myself dreaming of coming home to meet her and playing with my babies. But that was what it was then, dreams. “Why are you back now?”I felt a small tug at my leg, “Mom.” It was Liam. I turned to him, “Baby!” I picked him up. “You didn't come down for dinner. Marcus said you have a lot of work to do,” he looked over to my laptop, “but you aren't working right now?

    Gloria “That's so pretty,” I said and watched her beam with a smirk. I know Zoe. Lydia has told me about her before. I'm not aware of their relationship. But seeing how she's trying to paint her family as happy, I couldn't help but think that things are not as white as she claims they are. People tend to pretend when they are insecure about the relationship they have with their family, and I can sense it from where I was seated. Still, I decided to play along with her.“What brand is it?” I asked. “Oh, it's BBB. She bought it before coming to the country.” She said with a sense of pride. I picked up my glass of juice and slowly brought it to my lips. I know that bag; I know the brand. I have the same bag but in a different color.She returned the bag to its earlier position, and I settled the glass I held on the table. “Sometimes I'm kinda envious of you. You are truly blessed with family and life. You live the life of every woman's dream.” Mrs. Everett said.“Thank you. I can
