My heart sank. I felt it like a whip against my face. It should have been all, but Diana was waiting by the door.

“ Hello, twinnie. Was I worried about nothing?” she asked rhetorically, and clicked her tongue.

“ You thought you could change anything by coming here. Looks like you failed.” She cocked a smile, and nudged me aside.

“ Honey,” she called, and entered Asher's office. Samantha was at the end of the corridor, looking my way. I felt too ashamed to meet her. I braced up, expecting her q

  • Reclaiming What's Mine    Chapter 90: god father

    90: While waiting for the results, he and I sat on a hospital chair on the corridor. Silence and the growing suspense kept any conversation from happening. Hudson walked out with the results and marched up to us. He pulls a smile. A wide smile. Nervous. Breath shaky. Eyes unsteady. I have never seen him bring so many times in a few seconds. He looks in my direction but his eyes barely met mine before he threw them off like he's struggling to mask something beneath his shuddering breath.“ This is not good.” I thought, getting up from the seat with the hesitation of someone with a load on the shoulders. “ Sit already. It's not as if he's about to announce your death.”I snapped my neck. “ Well thank you for an unsettling dark humor.” I snapped, feeling a coarse blend of nervousness and a quiet dread working its way to clog my throat. I can hear the thrum of my heartbeat. Every drum. Every note of anxiety, striking the chords to a looming flatline. “ You know I liked you better when

  • Reclaiming What's Mine    Chapter 89: Threats from a doppelganger

    (Roman)It should be a joyful occasion for me. He's finally awake. As much as I want to scold him a better part of me wants to embrace him. But he wakes up, stares at me and blinked like he didn't recognize me. For the next one hour, I tried to make him talk. But every passing second produced no results. Not even a cough.“ Come on, man. You are scaring dad right now.” I clasped my hands together, seated on a ladder back chair right in front of him, waiting for Hazel's arrival.Hudson comes knocking, and the next second, Christian is up on his feet. “ Have you seen my mommy?”Eyes widened in disbelief, I stared puzzledly at him, weighing the attitude he had just given me. “ I'm right here!” I heard Hazel say, zooming in like a pack of wolves have been on her tail. “ I'm right here!” She sobbed, falling to her knees and wrapping her arms around him like he could disappear if she released him from her grip. “ How come?” Piper's deep voice snapped me out of a daze. I looked up to the

  • Reclaiming What's Mine    Chapter 88: So wrong, so right

    (Hazel)I got off the phone, and turned to meet Piper and Barn unboxing. But those aren't mine. “ Where are those from? They're not mine.” I inched closer to them. Both men shared a glanced and looked down at my belly, the maternity gown leaving a breathy space for me. “ Well you're not the only one who just moved in.” Piper said and lowered his eyes. I looked down at my stomach and folded my arms while they continued. Hours later, Piper was in the adjoining room, hammer pounding against nails, and wood scraping noisily against the floor. On the other hand, with gloves on, Barn and some men checked the walls for some devices Piper had instructed them to look for. He called it bugs. Once they were done, Barn supervised the next group to put up wall papers around my bedroom and repainted the sitting room. Coming out from the adjoining room, Piper lowers his head, wiping his hands with a small towel. “ I spoke with Roman. Once Christian wakes, he and his nanny will join you here. The

  • Reclaiming What's Mine    Chapter 87: Who says I'm sorry

    (Roman's POV)“ You're dying…you're not god.” Hudson's voice replayed in my head like a voice from a record put on replay. Every word he said dissolved and sank into my skin. I'm leaning against the head of the bed when he walked in. He puts his hands in his pockets, hiding away a cut below the rolled sleeves. “ What happened to your hand?” I asked, voice low and monotonous. My gaze lingers on the door, like a part of me is waiting for her to walk in. He pulled the hand out. “ Oh this! Saw it this way. No idea when it happened. It's still fresh so it must be from earlier.”“ And you don't think it should be treated?”“ Treated? What am I? A princess?”I briefly glanced at him, and threw my gaze away. “ About earlier…I know I crossed a boundary —”“ You have taken a great burden off my shoulders, Doctor Hudson. Whatever the outcome, I'm relieved. You don't have anything to be sorry about.”He narrowed his eyes. “ Who says I'm sorry?”I shut my eyes, exhausted. Misinterpreting him

  • Reclaiming What's Mine    Chapter 86: Piper's ways

    (Hazel)From the moment Sam Hudson talked about the truth, with his eyes on Roman, one thing crossed my mind: his memory.He remembers. He has long remembered, but he kept me in the dark and watched me grope like the blind without help. A mere suspicion. But I trust my guts enough to believe he watched me all these while. From the side. And never said a word. Not even when we lost our son.Now, another one is lying in bed, without an idea of when he would breath his last.Withered, I stared at him, waiting, not with longing, or rage, but with stifling emptiness.And when he spoke, he didn't waffle or fritter. He struck home and cut my breath momentarily.He remembered everything.He remembered me. Yet, he chose to leave me in the darkness of distant past.It carved out a part of my heart that has long held on for too long and left silence behind. Emptiness. My heart should gnaw now. It should pull painfully at my nerves. I should seethe and fume. It should sting. It should stab. I s

  • Reclaiming What's Mine    Chapter 85: Shut against reason

    It went cold with silence, the corridor echoing the tension between us like a scream in the mountains. “ What truth?” She asked again, but not me this time. Her attention is fixed on him, lashes apart like if she blinked, the world would spin and this chance would be gone.Her voice filtered into our ears again, with a crack that made Roman's eyes cloud.“ Hazel, maybe this is not a good time —”Hand raised mid air, she silenced Dominic. His lips hung apart, breath, heavy. He shifted uncomfortably, and glanced at me for help.I shook my head. This isn't something I expected from a man like him. Definitely not what I expected.“ You need to talk to me. I deserve to know what it is —”“ What makes you think it's something you would want to hear?” Roman interrupted her before she could say anymore. “ And what makes you think it's something I wouldn't want to hear?” She countered bitterly, bit a side of her lips the same time a tear dropped from her right eyes. “ Who are you to determi

    (Roman)Seeing them confirmed my suspicion. Piper has been keeping tabs on me. There's no doubt about it. That's the only way he could have learnt that Christian is unconscious.I should be mad about his interference in my life and family, but my heart swells with gratitude instead. Hazel is here b

    I have two options. Either I return to his side, or I live pretending he's going to be fine.I know which I'm going to live regretting for the rest of my life. I will not thread down that path. " I have to go back," I muttered. " I need to see him. Piper, I can not stay back when he's in a hospita

    Awkward, but pleasant. I saw her face darken and her fists clench. She glared at the blondie and folded her arms across her chest.I had quickly stopped and detached from the blondie when I saw her, but our conversation had floated by, and so did my voice. Intentionally." Leave," she ordered the
