-Lucy's POV-

Just as planned, we are going to make Conner jealous. This is a risk that I willingly took without knowing if I will get a hundred percent success rate. Well, I won't lose anything if I will try and if I will find out that Conner is not into me then, I will figure out a way to move forward. I am not really into social media, but for the sake of 'the plan' I took a selfie while drinking coffee with Ronald behind me making a cup of coffee himself and captioned it with 'Rise and

  • The Orphan's Goddess   85. No More Doubts, Only Love

    -Conner’s POV- I can hear my heartbeat right at my throat. How could I not keep those contracts. How clumsy of me. I will eventually let her know, but not in this manner. You will eventually let her know, so why not now? I mean its better to let her know early than keep it from her longer. Isn’t this fate? I mean, fate led her to see those contracts to make her understand your situation. If you will not let her know now, the longer your misunderstanding will be. Wouldn’t that be more complicated? My alter ego has a point. Lucy has kept herself distant to me because of all the doubts that was built because of the misunderstandings that took place. I can her body shiver and with that I took my fastest steps towards her and wrapped her body with my arms. “Lucy, I wanted to tell you about that, but not now.” She pulled herself away and looked at me in the eye. “Why not?” I caressed her soft cheeks, “You just got home from the prenatal check-up and I know you must be tired. I,

  • The Orphan's Goddess   84. What is This?

    - Lucy’s POV- The kiss was unexpected, but that was the warmth that I have been longing for. Although I said to myself that I didn’t need him and I didn’t want to see him while I was pregnant, but that was the complete opposite. I could not deny the fact that I wanted him by my side. In the three months he was gone, I would curl myself into a tuck and silently cry through the night. I guess they were right about how strong hormones would be during pregnancy. I just couldn’t help but feel lonely knowing that he could be near me yet he is far. Now, we are both here, hearing the heartbeat of our baby and seeing our little angle for the first time even just through that screen makes my anger grow fonder. The more that it did when he said that I am his miracle. Despite the tenderness he is showing to me right now, I could not help but still feel uncertain. I have so many questions in my mind. I have a lot of worries. However, this bond between me, him and our baby was stronger

  • The Orphan's Goddess   83. You are My Miracle

    - Conner’s POV- Bernard’s revelation came unexpected. I didn’t really know how to react, but truly there’s two sides of every story. I resented him over the years thinking of what he has done to my father that made him the monster he was. But now, with everything that he said, it gave me a whole different view of the situation. It could be real, it could be not, but his voice says that his story was genuine and it was not just to gain my trust. The more I felt relieved when he finally said that he is tired of holding grudges. That was the assurance I wanted to have. He even said that since the both of us our going to become fathers soon we should focus on giving our family the life that they deserve. That talk was the reconciliation we both needed to move forward and leave our heavy baggage behind. I tapped Mr. Yates shoulder back and said, “Mr. Yates, I appreciate you opening to me and telling me your side of the story. We might have started on the wrong foot, but we can

  • The Orphan's Goddess   82. Head Back Home

    - Conner’s POV- Two months has passed since Mr. Yates signed the contract for the Phoenix project and seeing how things are positively progressing is quite a relief. The success of the project and how Mr. Yates is dealing with our agreement is my ticket back to my wife. Surprisingly, Mr. Yates is on his toes and is truly focused on the Phoenix project. Dare I say it, but I think he might have changed. Still, I have to be certain if this change is true or just a mask he put on. I personally approached him and asked if he could spare a bit of time to come to the office and talk. Once we were there I went straight to the point. “I think you know why I called you here.” Mr. Yates sat and sighed, “I believe so. Listen Mr. Lowell, I know you are worried of what I could possibly do that might hurt your family…” He made a long pause like he was thinking deeply, so deep that it reached his soul. But I can’t put my guard down. This could be one of his cheap tricks. He is an ambitiou

  • The Orphan's Goddess   81. You are Done For

    -Conner’s POV-It has been 5 days since I talked with Mr. Ace and yet it feels like forever being away from my wife. How would she perceive things? I promised her that I will protect her and yet I am far away from her. Isn’t this what she wanted? To not see me? But even so, I feel I have wronged her. I am doing everything in my capacity to protect her. The very reason why I am away from her is to lure Bernard Yates into the trap that I planned for him so that he would stay away from my family. I called Alfred to check on the documents I asked him to prepare with my lawyer, “Alfred, how are the documents I asked you? Are they ready? If they are, hand them to me. I will thoroughly review it before giving them to Mr. Ace so that the negotiations will start. The earlier it starts the better.” Alfred responded, “Yes, Mr. Lowell. The documents are ready and I am about to go to your office now.” I sighed, “Very well. See you.” I hung up and stared at my wallpaper. I touched Lucy’s face on th

  • The Orphan's Goddess   80. There’s Life Growing Inside You

    -Lucy’s POV-He made a strong statement with a stern look on his face. He was truly serious. Laura and Philip were so nervous that they looked like ghosts. Philip made a shaky fake laugh, “Mr. Lowell! It is my great honor to see you here today! My wife was just fond of your wife. She took on a liking for her, maybe it is the hormones working. You know how pregnant women are. They talk nonsense at times.” A dangerous smirk formed at the corner of Conner’s lips. “My wife is also pregnant, but everything that comes out of her mouth are full of sense. She is incomparable. Teach your wife some manners or else you wouldn’t be able to stop the consequence that would follow.” Philip scratched the back of his head and bowed at Conner. “I’m so sorry for the manners my wife showed. I promise that this will not happen again. Right, honey?” Laura frowned and whined, “But, honey! Don’t tell me you’re scared of Mr. Lowell! You are a Rodriguez! You are also powerful like him! He should pay some respe
