“Lydia, hope you are ready?” Lydia heard Carson's voice from the outside as she dressed up.“Will be out in a minute” she yelled, so he could hear her. It was Monday, the day she had been waiting for. She was more than ready, especially when she had stayed days without Khloé. Now she is willing to do anything to get her Khloé.Dressed in a black skirt and blue long - sleeves top, she came out of her room looking different.Carson held his breath when he saw her. He was shocked to see her this smart and beautiful. Since he met her, she had always had a sad and pitiful face on that he wondered how she would be able to act smart in front of George. “I don't need to ask if you're ready anymore” he smiled. He was glad that the bruises and every trace of weariness were out.“I think I'm ready” she replied with a nod. As they began to step out, Lydia asked, “Where is Gary?” “Marian has taken him to school. He should be back home by 12 pm” “Oh,” was all Lydia could say. She would have l

Carson continued to stare at Lydia in awe. He had been scared that he'll have to do with what she can give. He never expected that she'll give this much. She was taking the lead more than he ever expected her to. She kept surprising him, filling him with wonder.Firstly was how she had dressed up so fine and smart, no one will even suspect that she was once beaten into a lump a few days ago. Next, she had held on and waited for him to come before she stepped into the house, even when her daughter was screaming in pain.Another was how she didn't rush to her daughter even when she found her on her knees receiving strokes from her worse enemy. And now she was even speaking so boldly that he wondered if there was any other woman that can beat Lydia when it comes to being courageous.“I ask again, where is George?” Her voice this time held a chill that caused Alma to shiver.“Oh hello, my beautiful wife” George answered from up the stairs as he walked down gently holding Lydia's gaze.

“Baby, are you okay? Did they hurt you too much?” Lydia asked as she pulled Khloé into her lap. Khloé only rested her head on Lydia's breast and held her tightly as she hiccuped while Carson quietly drove back home. When they got back home, Carson let them go in and asked Anny to take care of them before leaving the house. He still needed to go to work. “How was it?” Anny asked Lydia, who was staring into space after putting Khloé to sleep. Lydia shook her head as she took the glass of cold water from Anny. “He refused to sign the divorce papers” Her voice broke, and she immediately burst into tears. Anny pulled her into her embrace and she caressed her back. “I… I… I just don't want Mr. Carson to get stressed because of me. I don't even have the money to pay” “It's okay. Carson knew something like this would happen. He knew what was coming and trust me, he is more prepared than you think” Anny tried to comfort her. Lydia could only cry as she thought of what would happen to t

“This is my daughter, Khloé" Lydia replied as she asked Khloé to come sit next to her, but Khloé kept staring at Gary. She pointed to Gary who kept hugging Lydia like Lydia belonged to him and asked, “Who is he?” “He is Gary” Lydia replied“Gary” Khloé tested his name in her mouth before a wide smile spread on her lips,“He is very handsome, is he my brother?” The living room turned quiet, “Yes,” Anny immediately replied before Marian could. She could see that Marian was about to say something stupid and Lydia was left tongue-tied, so she spoke up herself.“Yes, isn't he the most beautiful boy ever? Just like you, my child, you are so beautiful,” Anny smiled and Khloé nodded,“Thank you” She didn't go to sit, instead she walked over to stand in front of Gary before stroking his hair“Hi Gary, I'm your big sister. My name is Khloé" Gary's eyes twinkled, and he immediately let go of Lydia to stare at Khloé. He loved the touch Khloé was giving. He has been feeling the same touch for

It's been half an hour and Anny wasn't done with Carson, so Lydia decided to dish the food by herself. Taking the food to the table, she met Marian with her phone already sitting in the dining. She placed the tray of food on the table before leaving to get Gary and Khloe, then Anny and Carson. When she got to the room where Khloé and Gary were, she saw them watching a cartoon. Gary was sitting in front of Khloé on the bed., Khloé with her legs spread apart, allowed Gary to rest his head on her chest while she rested her back against the bed rest.Lydia smiled at the sight. She had always known that Khloé liked kids. There was a time she was pregnant and she informed Khloé about it. The girl was so happy, she was already preparing gifts for her younger sibling, only for her to lose the baby due to George's rough beating. She had almost lost her life back then, thanks to the maids around who had helped her to the hospital just in time and also to Doctor Nick, who happened to be on se

“Where is Gary?!?” Marian screamed so loudly that Lydia rushed out of the kitchen. Anny wasn't here yet, must still be sleeping, so Lydia decided to prepare breakfast. “Gary is in my room. Khloé wanted to sleep next to me in the middle of the night, so Gary followed” Lydia explained “What the hell! “What's going on here?” Carson asked as he walked out of his room. He was dressed already, but his tie was undone along with the two buttons, causing his chest to be left exposed “I went to Gary's room this morning only to find it empty. This girl,” pointing at Lydia, “is saying that Gary slept in her room, her bed with her daughter! Marian reported angrily. She was breathing heavily, causing Lydia to wonder what she had done wrong. She couldn't understand why she was so angry “I'm sorry, Mr. Carson, but I didn't know it was wrong. I only went to check up on the kids when I saw my daughter crying. She must have thought she was still back home with Alma, so I tried to caress her back to

Lydia kept pacing front and back in the living room waiting for Carson, who had insisted on speaking to Khloé alone all of a sudden.She didn't know what the man wanted to discuss with her. He had taken her to his study, meaning it was important and serious. She cannot stop pacing around nervously. Confusion was written all over her face. She didn't even understand why Carson had said he was making plans to enroll Khloé in the same school as Gary. When did she tell Carson that?Aside from the fact that she doesn't have a job to raise money right now, Gary's school would be very expensive and she was sure of it. “Lydia, calm down. Carson is only speaking with her” Anny said from behind and Lydia turned to her.“Why are they taking so long? Do you know what they might be talking about?” She asked Anny who was tired of calming the woman. “You know what? Why don't you go in there yourself and tell him you are really worried about him talking to your daughter?” “No, no, I can't do that

After the house chores, Lydia informed Anny that she'll be going on a job hunt now. She felt pressured, especially after what Carson had done earlier on.Putting Khloé in school means she doesn't even have a choice on whether to work now or not, she has to search for something to do, and she has to do it now. Anny promised to take care of Khloé in her absence. Soon, she was out of the house, ready to face the world. With her CV in her hand, Lydia went from company to company. She wasn't just accepted, so she went to the company she used to work with. She was one of their best staff, so she presumes they'll accept her again.“Sorry Mrs. Lydia but there's no vacancy,” the secretary told Lydia, who bit her lip“Can I at least speak to Mr. Tony?” She asked, but the secretary shook her head. “Listen, I know him. I used to work here years back. I know if he sees me, he'll want to create a space for me. Can you please tell him that Lydia is here?” “I have to be disturbed, can you leave?”
