Lucas gritted his teeth in anger as he glared at Mrs. Cory. Even though she was his mother, she'd just crossed the line by coming into his house to assault his wife in front of him.

“Why did you slap Phoebe?” he asked in a raised voice, his voice breaking now and then as he tried to keep his anger in check.

The toddler began to cry, having witnessed everything that happened. Rushing to his mother's side, he tried making her notice him, but to no avail, thus making him increase the volume of his wails.

Marcy rushed to him and picked him up, pacifying him as she took him away.

Ignoring the toddler’s outburst, Mrs. Cory’s eyes which were filled with hatred continued to drill hole into Phoebe’s skin.

“How dare you do this to us, Phoebe? After everything I did for you. Didn't I love you enough? Didn't I take you as my child?” She retorted.

“Why did you choose to betray us and have us raise a bastard?” She asked, but was suddenly interrupted by Lucas as he rounded the table until he

    Phoebe’s heart banged with reckless abandon as she watched Mrs. Cory use all forms of degrading words on her, her eyes blazing in her fury. The pain from the slap was finally gone but in its place, her words felt like a sharp knife, turning and twisting inside of her. Phoebe tried to speak but no words came out of her mouth, not like she had anything to say. It hurt her to see Mrs. Cory, a woman who had filled the space of a mother in her life utter all manners of humiliating names at her. But instead of feeling anger toward the woman, all she felt was guilt. Mrs. Cory’s anger was justified as every mother who was in her shoes would do the same. She shouldn't have misled the whole family into thinking Ivan was theirs. She should have told them, she should have…Letting her husband calm his mother down, she listened to all that was thrown her way. But a painful pang hit her chest when her little boy got dragged into the drama. She deserved every word that was being thrown at her bu

    From the corner of his eyes, Trevor saw that Lucas had a mocking smile etched on his face while Phoebe continued to glare at him hatefully. He was sure she wouldn’t hesitate to shoot him if she were holding a gun at that point. Returning his eyes to the little human in front of him, warmth spread in his heart as he saw the way his tiny brows furrowed in confusion. “I can’t call you daddy as I have one already,” Ivan replied innocently, unknowingly shattering his heart into a thousand shreds with his words. “Err..baby,” Lucas called Ivan, interrupting Trevor who had wanted to say something. Swallowing saliva to get rid of the lump that formed in his throat, Trevor watched as Lucas approached them., his expression laced with mockery and amusement. Lucas picked the toddler, and as if to add to Trevor’s heartache, Ivan wrapped his tiny arms around Lucas’s neck and grinned happily. “Dad, can we all go home with Trevor. I want to show him my car collections.”The toddler said, as

    Phoebe played with Ivan’s hair as she thought of a convincing answer to give to him but she was unable to come up with any. Lucas on the other hand threw orders to the person he held at the other side of the line. “Of course, in the world, everybody has about eight people who look just like them.” Marcy was quick to come to her aid. The toddler frowned his face as confusion descended on him. He was about to ask more questions when Marcy carried him and explained on the way as they made for his room. Phoebe was filled with gratitude for Marcy as she watched the duo’s retreating figure. She had rushed to save her from Ivan’s questions, even when she had questions to ask herself. Making a mental note to explain things with her at the soonest, she was reminded of what her child had asked her. She was immediately hit by a pang of guilt at having lied to him, but she didn't dwell on it for long. She couldn't tell him the truth either. He was too young to experience such heartbreak. K

    As if she were the most fragile item in his possession, Lucas carried Phoebe bridal style into the bathroom where he had prepared a bath for her. Stripping her of all her clothes, he helped her get into the bathtub and followed afterwards. Twin shades of pink decorated Phoebe’s cheeks as his manhood dangled before her for a minute before it got blurred by the water. “Why are you shy, princess. It’s yours, you know,” Lucas winked at her, making her avert her gaze shyly. Lucas was about to tease her more when he noticed the little frown that took over her features. Her eyes suddenly had a faraway look, and Lucas had no problem figuring out why her demeanor had changed. He couldn’t blame her, though, as he knew exactly how she was feeling at that moment, as he had been down that path before. It was a relief that she had chosen him and their marriage over her ex, and Lucas was grateful for that. But he had every right to blame Trevor, who appeared out of the blue and disrupted the

    Marcy and Ivan walked into the room minutes later. “Mommy…” Ivan ran up to the bed where she was. But his little brows quirked in confusion as he stared at her face. “What happened to your face, Mom?” he finally asked, his smile dispersed into thin air as he approached her. Phoebe carried him up to the bed and sealed her lips on his forehead in a kiss. “Mommy had a little accident, baby.” “How was school today?” She asked him in an attempt to divert his mind away from her, as she knew how inquisitive he could be sometimes. But her little act didn’t work as Ivan puckered his lips and went on with staring at her nose, his brows knitted together in a frown. “How did you get injured? Is it a car accident or….?” Ivan pestered as he raised his little hands to feel her nose, his eyes already tearing up. “It looks like Aunty Annie became invisible overnight,” Annie purred as she made a face at Ivan and pretended to be sad. “I haven't seen him for so long yet he ignores me li

    The muffled screams of Phoebe ended up attracting onlookers to the scene. But instead of separating the fight, they searched their pants and purses for their phone and began to take pictures of them. Lucas stood up from the floor as his eyes burned in rage. Looking down at the part where he felt sudden pain, he noticed his elbow was bleeding. “You bastard!” Lucas barked, “How dare you? Trevor stared back at him with equal rage. But underneath it all was surprise as he hadn't expected to see Lucas after so many years. A thousand questions flooded his mind as his gaze hovered over Phoebe, whose face was soaked with tears as she pleaded with Lucas for them to leave. How had she met with Lucas? How had she ended up getting married to him? Could it be that she was seeking revenge against him and decided to team up with Lucas to achieve that? Of course, with the help of a computer, it wouldn’t be hard for her to find his enemy. As much as that thought made sense, it didn't quite su

    Lucas watched as she walked out of the restaurant in hurried steps, his grip on his car wheel tightened as he waited for her partner. He had left for work very early that morning as he had been unable to sleep the previous night, not with his brain working itself up for answers. As much as he thought about it, he could only come up with one answer: Trevor. But Trevor seemed to be living his best life with Amelia Jonas, the only daughter of a top politician. It just made no sense. Having been unable to concentrate at work, he’d decided to head back, knowing how useless he was considering his state of mind. That was one of the advantages of being the boss. After he'd issued instructions to his secretary, who bobbed her head funnily, he headed for home. Remembering how he had punished her and given her the silent treatment throughout the night, he stopped at a florist shop where he bought flowers. At least he could use the day to make up for how he had treated her. Now that

    “I know you would probably not believe anything I tell you but I would say it anyway,” he began as soon as he noticed her to be more relaxed and less angry.Pausing in his speech, he reached for her hand on the table and took it in his, giving it a little squeeze. She glanced up at him but did not attempt to remove her hand.Fighting back the urge to plant a kiss on her tiny palm, he continued. “I have always loved you, Phoebe, right from the first day I set my eyes on you. It took me long to realize this, but I know now. You are the woman who makes me complete, and I want both you and our son back. We can start afresh.”“I have never met any woman like you before. You're a one-of-a-kind. I know I have hurt you in the past, but I plead that you forgive me. I am ready to right my wrongs. I am ready to be the man you always wanted. Please give me a chance in your life.” Phoebe raised her brows as confusion settled within her. Was he unaware that she was married? Even though she was ang
