I urged my feet to walk again but this time, the more I walked the more I looked at the man that was suddenly in front of me. My brain still tried to understand why Liam was here. This time, I could not look at him as just Liam.

No, this was Mr. Steele, CEO of SteeleTech, billionaire and from what I heard, a serial cheat.

I could not do anything about that but thinking about him in that light did soften the blow in my chest and for the first time, I actually felt stay and do the work. He did not look to me like someone I could actually be attracted to and he even seemed disgusting to me.

This meant that I could work with him without feeling any pitch of sadness. So I forced a very polite smile, held out my hand and said "Welcome to Anioxnet, Mr. Steele. My name is Raye Carter and I am the CEO."

I was hoping that somehow he may remember me but he did not and I did not want to push him seeing as I was not even sure of what I wanted from him. I couldn't rightfully tell if the man lov

  • The Forgotten Bride   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN

    I didnt say a word but my heart felt the sting as he walked by me like I didnt even matter and then he was away from sight. I stood by the driveway wondering if I wasnt so harsh towards him then maybe just maybe, he would not be so adamant to actually get rid of me like that. I slowly sighed as I wondered what I had done to lose him. But did I really lose him or did he just want to give me space and a break to carefully think about what I wanted and probably get myself packed with the knowledge I needed to survive this? I forced myself to smile. If this man truly loved me, then he was going to fight to keep me. He was going to do everything in his power to be sure that I was thrown to the ground and left for dead. I had something to hold on to so I couldnt lose faith just yet.I walked speedily to my apartment just to see Micah in Liam’s arms, squealing for joy. They looked so beautiful together, they looked like the perfect father and son duo and I could not help but feel like a mo

    I watched as my son ran to the window and when he saw who was there, his whole eyes lit up. He could not even control his happiness before he started shouting. "Mommy! It’s him! It’s my daddy!"I smiled at him, truly the bond between these two was something to look out for. I had never seen them so happy and I have never seen my son look so fulfilled with his life. This seemed like one of the best things to actually happen to him and I was here to make sure that he was always happen. I didnt need anything that will drag him out of his happiness and I was finally ready to give Liam a shot. "Yes my darling, that is your father," I said softly with a smile of contentment on my face. Somehow after I decided to let go of cruel feelings, I was finally able to open my eyes and see the truth that this was the best decision for me and my child. I wondered what I had been seeing all these while and now I realized that this was exactly what I really needed to see to bring me out of the semi m

    For a brief moment, I could not breath. I struggled so much to let air flow into my nose. My heart ached so badly and all I could was press the paper to my chest as my eyes filled up with water and my chest began heaving. None of this made sense to me. Why did he had to be such a nice guy. I had already seen him as the devil, why did it have to be confirmed now that he was a prince. None of it made any sort of sense to me, especially when all I wanted to do was just to sit back and kick him out of my life. I could not do that anymore. The letter was proof that he wasnt the villian in my story. It was proof that he would actually be a very good father if I allowed him into our lives, if I gave him the permission to actually stay with me, this was proof that he would actually do right by his son. I could no longer deny him his right, not now that all my doubt has been kicked to the wind. Even when he lost his memory, somehow his subconscious still remembered that he had someone who l

    Just when I thought I had seen everything there was to see, I heard a knock on my door. I said a silent prayer, hoping that it wasn't Jenna again trying to convince me once again to work with the person she had. He may have been the perfect match for me in her head but I lived in reality and I knew it couldn't work. Still a found a part of me wishing that it should be Jenna, at least she will be able to explain to me what is going on. She will be able to explain to me why this man stayed silent for years even after he knew that Micah was his son. She will be able to tell me why he came now to find her. What exactly did he want at this point of his life? Why was he so interested in my son now? I had so many questions andI desperately needed answers before my mind would go crazy. How did he even find out about the child? Was his mother that stupid that she would tell him? If the mom did tell him, was it also the mom that kept him off for all those years? Was it the mom that told him h

    I picked up my phone eagerly and saw a text from an unknown number. When I opened the text, I saw it was nothing more than a video link. My brain immediately went haywire as I tried to understand exactly what I was in the video. Could it be proof that Liam was not who he claimed to be yesterday or could it be proof that the young man was actually a saint?I could not tell for sure but I knew that the only way I could actually tell was if I opened the link. Hesitantly, I clicked on it. The video opened on a grainy shot of a school auditorium. Children were onstage, performing a clumsy rendition of "You Are My Sunshine." And then I saw Micah in the front row, fidgeting and I immediately remembered this performance. Micah was more than scared that day cause he believed that he was going to embarass not just himself but practically everyone else on the team that day. I had tried everything in my power to convince him that he couldnt do that but it appeared that everything I said just fe

    The next morning was a Sunday and I was not the one to want to go to church but that morning, I found myself eager to go to church and probably tell the pastor there to pray for me. My sins would cloud my prayers and God would definitely not answer them but if the pastor could say the prayers, I was sure God would answer them immediately. I didnt need much really, all I needed was for Liam to let the whole world know how he really is so he could leave me and my son alone. Since my earthly plans were not working, maybe an Heavenly intervention would do the trick. Still, I knew I was in for a very long run. I looked at him like he had gone mad or something, but deep down I knew that I was more scared of him than I protrayed to be. See it was pretty simple to actually expect something different from a person you didn't know who his allies were but now, I knew that even in my circle, he has managed to get his claws into one of them. JennaI could tell that her defeaning Liam was not ju
