“You told everyone that Steven had a fall?” he asked.

I hissed, “Lower your voice.” I bent over Steven and ensured the pulse oximeter was still strapped onto his thumb. Then I monitored his chest. He seemed fine.

“Do you think my family is stupid?” he continued, his voice a decibel lower. “Head injury, and it’s his chest that’s bandaged?”

I drew the curtains and finally faced him. “They can think whatever they like, but I don’t let your mum see my son as a weakling. She already considers

    Jordan“Where are you, Marie?” I asked. I knew something was wrong, and my gut had not lied to me.“Are you at home?”“Not now, Jordan,” she replied, and the call dropped.I stared at the phone for a few seconds before I hurried the driver to drive back to the house. I stood in front of her door and knocked on it impatiently.“Marie,” I called out.There was no answer. I knocked again, and then I heard movement within the house.“Please open up. I need to talk to you about it urgently.”The door finally opened, and she stood in front of me, looking down and dejected. Her hands were on her hips.I stood in front of her, and suddenly, my throat felt dry. I didn't know the right words to say.“I'm sorry you had to find out that way, Marie, but I promise you, it's not what you're thinking at all. Can I come in?”She looked at me for a short while, then angled her body away for me to slip through the doorway.I walked into the apartment, and then she closed the door behind her and walked i

    JordanI called her number once again and got the same response. The line was switched off.I leaned back in my chair, feeling uncomfortable about the situation. It was barely midday, and Marie's number was switched off. I tapped my finger restlessly on the desk as I decided on what to do.I could have easily driven back home to check up on her and ensure she was fine, but I was expecting the legal team and Lizzie in a very important meeting shortly.I pushed my chair backwards and walked out of the office to the small cubicle where Lucy occupied. She rose up as I stood at the entrance."Have you heard from Marie all day?" I asked her.She shook her head. "No, not since last night. I didn't spend the night at the house."I nodded. "Could you try calling her? I've not been able to reach her.""Sure," she said.She picked up her phone, and a few seconds later, the voice of the operator saying the number was switched off filled the space between us."I've been getting the same response a

    KylieFinding out that Lara knew about the illegitimacy of my son kept me more up at night than the fact that Steven was lying in bed unconscious. Because Lara knowing the truth meant everything I was fighting for could be in vain.If she decided to go public with this information she had, then it might be over for me and my son, and she could easily convince Arnold to kick us out and take in another wife.More importantly, I was concerned that if Arnold found out that I had lied about his fertility results, he would have more reason to kick me out.I turned on the narrow bed to the other side and groaned loudly. I had a sore on my lip from biting it repeatedly.I had to think fast and act fast. Steven was at a critical point in his life where he needed absolute care. This was not the time for the truth to come out.There was not a time ever for the truth to come out, and I didn't mind killing to ensure that my son's real identity remained hidden.For now, I've been able to secure a p

    Marie Sue I sat in the office, and the paper in my hand trembled, not from fright. I was not afraid. What I felt was far from fear, and that was what had pushed me right now into this office, with the paper in my hand, ready to make this decision.I read each line of the contract again to be sure I wasn't falling into a trap. Everything seemed fine, except for a few things I was not comfortable with.I looked up at Mr. Xing and the other man who sat beside him.“I have one thing I would like to modify,” I said.The lawyer looked at Mr. Xing and then at me.“What could that be?” he asked.I dropped the paper on the desk to stop it from shaking in my hands the way it was. I folded my fingers into each other and placed my folded hands on the desk. Then I looked straight at the lawyer.“My product remains mine,” I said. “Even if I work for the company and my product is being used, it remains mine.”The lawyer was about to speak, but Mr. Xing raised his hand and stopped him.“That is fine

    Marie Sue What Arnold was suggesting was ridiculous, and I was about to let him know exactly how ridiculous he sounded. Not only was he making assumptions about me, but his reaction to what Kennedy was doing to his family was completely out of proportion. I could not understand why he seemed more concerned about what I had done than about the person who was apparently threatening his family.But before I could say a word, a lady appeared in front of us. We both turned to look at her."I'm sorry," she said. "I'm trying to find a room."I was about to point her toward the reception desk when Arnold greeted her in a surprisingly friendly manner."I didn't know you were here," he said."Oh, Kylie called me," she replied."You must be Arnold.""Yes," he nodded.And suddenly, I realized who she was.She was Marie Sue's stepmother.I faced her and stretched out my hand."I'm so sorry. You are Lydia Sue?" I asked.She took my hand, shook it warmly, and smiled."Yes, and you must be Jordan. I

    Marie Sue's POV We were here.A long, tree-lined driveway stretched ahead of us, the trees too perfect to be real, their branches softly illuminated by distant lights. The Kensington Mansion came into view then; a sprawling, white stone building with gold detailing and vast windows that reflected

    Marie Sue's POV I rose to my feet, not believing my eyes. “You?” “You two know each other?” Lara asked. “Yes.” “No.” I said no because I didn't want any trouble. Lara grinned. “I’m glad you two already know each other. Jordan, this is Marie, your future wife. Marie, this is Jordan, your fut

    Marie Sue's POVRunning in broad daylight wearing a coffee-stained T-shirt that said ‘fuck me’ and grey sweatpants was not on my to-do-list.
