Reclaiming What's Mine Chapter 81: Secrets and Wedding guests
(Hazel)Draped in white and silver appliques, I stared blankly into the mirror. My appearance didn't register in my head, but the turmoil in my heart did. " Is this the path I really want to thread?" I remember why I came here in the first place. I wanted to learn from Dominic and what keeps them afloat. Piper had plans. I had plans of coming back stronger for my son's sake. Now, I'm not sure what my purpose has become.My fingers feel stiff around the bouquet. Tightened, like the bouquet could fall off, and I wouldn't notice. This is my second wedding, but I'm not certain it's going to be any different from the first. Nothing excites me.Not the thought of a second chance to love. Certainly not about walking down the aisle to a heartthrob.Not the luxurious custom-made wedding dress that practically took a month to arrive from the No-1 designer in the world.The word “forever” embroidered beneath my gloves feels like a jest of my first marriage, which had the same word engraved in t

“ Stephanie Ross?!”The name reverberated in my ears. “ What is she doing here?” I spoke calmly, recognizing the glow of fear in her eyes. “ She wants to speak with you,” the maid replied, shakily. With the way her legs knocked around the knees, I suspected she wanted to bolt.“ Tell Miss Ross that I'll be with her in some minutes,” I replied after a brief pause, expecting her to zap the next second. She lingered. Unsure of what to say…or maybe, how to say it.“ It's alright. You can talk to me,” I spoke gently to her. Her eyes misted, turning into a gentle plea. “ If Mr. Lunar finds out she visited here again, I might end up in jail. Please…”“ I can't promise you that he won't find out, but when he does, I'll be ready to take responsibility,” I assured her.With that promise, I trudged downstairs moments later, weighing the possible reasons for her visit. Not too long after a brief exchange of casual pleasantries, she broke the ice.“ I'm begging you as a fellow lady. Please, h
Reclaiming What's Mine Chapter 79: She slept with her father
(Hazel)I sat across the hospital bed, where Roman laid. The extra bed in the room feels out of place. It wasn't here the last time I came, and the same applies to Diana.She clicks her tongue, staring down at me. Her eyes are colored with disdain, but beneath it was something I hadn't noticed before.Uncertainty. Anxiety. It feels like she has changed overnight...or maybe, I was too occupied to notice her inner struggle.“ Even when your wedding is a few days away, you traipse back to your ex. Oh, poor Hazel!”I humphed, letting my mind soar across the torn we have had in our relationship since childhood. “ I'm not here for him,” I stated, matter-of-factly. I had come for her. Hearing about her release, I knew she would be here.“ You and I aren't so different. He locked you up for separating Christian from me, yet here you are…trying to mend a relationship that was never meant to exist in the first place.”She scoffs, running her fingers on his still hand. “ Unlike you, I still hav
Reclaiming What's Mine Chapter 78: Bending the will
(Dominic)My wedding is in a week. Hazel's pregnancy is formed into a bump, constantly reminding me that the baby inside her isn't mine. And now, I have to deal with insubordination.“ I want a name,” I commanded, maintaining a calm demeanor, moments after breaking the pool stick. “ It's either you give it to me now, or I'll beat it out of you.”It took a critical assessment of the footage to notice that something was amiss. The record of my grandma in the house had been deleted. Wiped off the records in a way that would indicate a fault in the system. It wasn't that alone.So much more has been going on under my nose, and I hadn't noticed.“ Shall we begin?” I queried, head tilted to the side. He appeared unfazed, just like I expected. That is loyalty…to whomever he had sworn it to, but I know just how to break it. Or shall I say, who?“ Barn, get me Piper!”His eyes shot up at me, twitching. Horror shrouded his face in a way that made me smirk. “ The Piper effect,” I gloated inwa

" I can't talk. Your phone is bugged."Echoes that refused to fade from my mind. Words that made my knees knock against each other. I didn't expect Dominic would stoop so low.My phone?Has he been monitoring my calls?Every call I have ever made since my arrival at his home replayed in my ears like a recorded call. I beat it off my mind and straightened up.At 5.30pm, he strode in, and met me waiting on the cushion before the door." Sit, Dom."His eyebrows arched, riddled with surprise. Aloof and indifferent to his dazed look, and the tilt of his head which inadvertently reminded me of whose house I am, I motioned to my side and got up to my feet." Did you bug my phone?"Flat out straight to the point, my hollowed-out heart felt emptier than it has ever been." Why would I do that?"he countered." Well, maybe because, for some reasons, you have had me under watch, including having Cody check the camera room downstairs for my interactions with your mother. Don't you dare lie to me!"

I carried his response like a stillborn in my bosom, mourning on my way home. Dominic is so sure that I'm not a Sullivan. How's he going to react when he learns that I'm the true born child of the man who killed his father and kidnapped his brother? I and my sister, Diana.The man whom he has loathed his entire life!How can fate be this cruel to me? What wrong did I ever do? What's my crime?Piper's words echoed again in my ears. “ He never wanted girls. He had bragged about how his first child would be a male. So, when you both came, he couldn't stand it. He gave you both away to his secretary at the time.”“He gave me away.”“He gave us away.”That was all I could think of. Even my birth father didn't want me. My birth mother couldn't stop him either. I chuckled, letting my tears run down in streams. “ It's unfair how everything turns out well for some, and is a labyrinth of disaster to others.”Thinking back to my childhood, my paternal ties stabbed my heart again. At least, Dia

In the hospital, and back in the house, our skin relieved every sweat together, locked, knotted in every stroke, glide and thrust.I wanted him in ways that reek of sin. He wanted more than the physical union of our bodies. His eyes, soul-searching, locked onto mine. He thrust from below, hands on

He blinked severally, taken by surprise. I waited for his yes, until panic set into my heart. " What if he says no?"On one hand, I thought of his grandmother. I might never fully tell the height of her influence over him, but they're relatives. He might give in if she protests against my marriage
Reclaiming What's Mine Chapter 68: Let's get married. I do not want to wait anymore
(Roman)For every time I failed to reach her, my mind blanked. Then it swirled inside, like I was going to burst from within. I hate it. Yet, I can't blame her.I stepped out of the office and strutted towards the elevator. A familiar scent wafted into my nostrils. I scrunched my nose, eyes narrowe

I watched her reaction. We are completely detached, but still on the bed. He wants to speak with her and he sounds urgent. Somewhere in my mind, I prayed she wouldn't agree." Sorry about that," she returned to my arms and buried her head." Aren't you going to return the call?" I asked, just to be
