“ Kelvin is my son!” He flung a brown envelope at me like a court sentence.

“ This is not about the case of acting like his father to fulfill his wish. The boy knows I'm his dad. How could you hide something like this from me, and your sister?”

He didn't let me speak.

“ And to think you comforted her when they declared her baby stillborn just to disappear with her son makes me so resentful right now.”

I paused him there. “ Is that the truth she told you? Or is it part of the whitewash lies you have been believing since you got out of coma?”

I was done putting up with his ignorance. “ Do you have even the slightest idea about how stupid you sound?”

“ Her baby?” I cackled. “ Ridiculous!” I say and raised my blouse, baring my stomach.

“ You see all these stretch marks? They are my evidence that I f**king carried two boys in my belly for nine good months!”

“ You have no bloody right to waltze in here and lecture me about right or wrong when you're obviously wearing thick blindfolds over y

  • Reclaiming What's Mine    Chapter 76: Coming clean

    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

  • Reclaiming What's Mine    Chapter 75: Why he wants her to have the Sullivan company

    Dusk has set, yet I haven't taken my heart off the incident. Wrapped in his arms in bed, I coughed to draw his attention.“ What would you do if I were a Sullivan?” I quizzed, listening to the beat of his heart.His breathing paused, and his heartbeat accelerated. My stomach twists. My heart lurches. Hot tears burn my iris. The silence widening like a gulf, determined to pull us apart from each other.I have my answer, but I can't seem to accept this reality.A second chance at love. I couldn't throw it all away over an assumption.“ You're not,” he deadpanned, his hands tightening around my stomach. It feels foreign, bereft of warmth and comfort.A sickly feeling permeates my membranes. Sitting in his arms, knowing that if the outcome was different, I wouldn't be here, changes it all.No more butterflies in the belly, or so much as a toe-curling romance. More or less, roommates.“ Take your mind off it. You can't possibly be. I have made inquiries…”It fell on my ears with a deafenin

  • Reclaiming What's Mine    Chapter 74: He's watching her

    She was gone, but I hadn't come up with an excuse to give Dominic for her sudden departure.The second he strutted inside, my mind jumped out of my skin. “ Hazel,” he embraced me, hands slithered around my waist. “ Memaw left already. Hope she didn't make life miserable for you while I was gone?”he joked.I shook my head, guilt gnawing at my senses. It only takes a moment to realize that you are an accomplice in a matter when you choose silence like every other person involved.That sigh of relief on his face…it would be gone the second he learns what she did. But that's not what I'm afraid of.He might never be the same again.“ Come, I have something to show you,” he pulled me upstairs and dragged me into the bathroom with him. “ My back hurts,” he said as he motioned for me to bathe him.I fought back a laugh. “ Now, you are just being a spoiled kid. Have your bath. I will get you something to eat.”His eyes followed every step of mine, gleaming lustfully until I shut the door to t

  • Reclaiming What's Mine    Chapter 73: A discovery of a family secret

    I'm supposed to be getting married, not babysitting! Hours after her arrival, the granny of the Lunar family had done everything possible to wear me out. From the artwork she broke by 'mistake', to her rejection of the chef's meal. She insisted I made it myself. Yet, this is the fourth she has rejected.“ What exactly do you want? Tell me. We could get someone better to make it for you.”“ We could?” She snickered, and threw her head backwards on the chair, relaxing. “ You speak as if you own the wealth of my family already, and I am the stranger here.”Her voice turned so cold the poison in her tongue seeped through the cracks.I pulled myself together, and attempted a diplomatic solution.Always apologize.“ Pardon me. You must have misunderstood my intentions. I only want the best person to get you what you desire…”She sat up on her chair while I was still mid-sentence.“ Is that really your intention, Hazel?”Before I could cook up a formal response, she went on. “ You know, I r

  • Reclaiming What's Mine    Chapter 72: I'm sorry, Hazel

    “How else would I be related to the Sullivan family apart from my marriage to Roman Sylvester. Even that is unacceptable to them. Plus, Sylvester had dropped the family name,” I explained while trying to make meaning of the question in my head. What could be his reason? Dominic couldn't have jumped from his sleep and decided to ask me about how I'm related to the Sullivans apart from the marriage. One guess. His grandmother.“ Let it out, what did your grandmother say about me this time around?” I rolled my eyes, exhausted. “ Perhaps, she might have mentioned to you that I'm a secret daughter of the Sullivan's…” His eyes glowed. His forehead furrowed. I noticed color drain from his face. I quickly cut it.“ Is that what she told you? And you seriously believe her?” I chided.He looked puzzled. I shook my head, thoughts stirred like the howling waste of desert land in my head. “ He might believe her as well if she wakes up someday and accuses me of being a Sullivan spy," I thought,

  • Reclaiming What's Mine    Chapter 71: Dilemma

    I'm growing somewhat scared of him, but it also comes with a strange feeling of safety around him. I stepped inside, and met him lulling Christian to sleep. Christian's hands were tightened around his waist, fingers locked. Every time Piper shifted in his position, he would stir, latching onto his leather jacket like a lifeline. It feels like he’s afraid that Piper might leave him…like I did. I inhaled deeply, and tiptoed to their side. They had their backs to me, immersed in the feel of each other's company.Piper combs his hair, humming as he did. The nanny is asleep at the foot of the bed. She snores, by the way. Piper didn't seem to notice. Or maybe he did, and didn't mind…like me.“ Well, hello!” I chimed, my voice bereft of excitement, flat, but not cold.Christian shot up from his arms. One moment, his eyes were wide in surprise. The next few seconds, tears welled up in his eyes. “ Mommy is here!” he screamed.I opened my arms, and balanced my feet, expecting a hug.He jumped
