Sometimes, you start to question the true essence of your life.

Would I have been better off as an insignificant person?

Or maybe a rat?

That’s exactly how I felt the moment the doctor spoke those words in front of me.

Here was a man I had always desired, hoping he would make me pregnant, yet he chose to give that to my sister.

But that wasn’t all.

My father turned toward me, his eyes blazing, and spoke the words my mother had been pushing him to say for a long time.

“Sarah Robertson, you cease to be my daughter from this day forward. You are no longer my daughter legally. You are hereby dismissed from the family business, and you will also stop bearing my name. My lawyer will inform you of the next steps.”

His words literally tore me in half.

I was speechless.

The nurses, some patients, and even the nearby doctors kept staring at me as if I were a leper.

“Dad, it’s not my fault. She was sleeping with him… she was sleeping with my husband!”

I said, as hot tears streamed down my face.

“I only tried to defend what was mine.”

“Defend what’s yours? James was never yours to begin with. We only needed to use you for…”

Margaret sneered.

“I don’t even see why I should tell you all this. I think everything is already clear. You heard your father. You cease to be a Robertson from today.”

Margaret said that as she walked away with James to go see Sheila.

I no longer knew if I had gone too far.

I cursed my misfortune and fell to my knees.

I felt my throat tighten as I bowed my head in shame.

“Dad, please… don’t do this. I didn’t mean to hurt her.”

The tears running down my face mixed with the mucus dripping from my nose.

“I never wanted any of this to happen. James… he…”

“Shut your mouth!”

His voice thundered, making me flinch.

“You spend your time blaming everyone for your bad luck! Are you going to tell me that James forced you to do this?”

“Dad, listen to me, please.”

I choked on my own words, my hands clasped together.

“Listen to a murderer? You’re still standing only because she didn’t die. I would have had you locked away for life if you had killed her,” my father shouted.

“Give me your car keys. You never earned anything through your own work. It’s my name that gave you everything. I guess it’s time you learned to survive on your own. Your contract with my company is terminated as of today.”

He looked at his watch.

“I never want to see you near my family again. I don’t want to see your face or your smile. I never want to see you again!”

Frederick—the man I had always known as my father since birth—shouted those words before turning around and walking away without even giving me a final glance.

    " Do you think this is going to work?" Sheila asked staring at her father. Penelope stared at James for quite a while, " How can you sign away years of labour? Are you nuts?!" she yelled " He has us in his palms. Hawkins knows everything, down to the last bank accounts." he replied Sheila stared at the television. " Do you think she is still alive?" Penelope shakes her head, " After all this while, why does that bitch need to come at us now!" James relaxed into the chair he sat on. His gaze slightly shows he understands the situation. " Because she has been boxed into a corner. She took everything maltreatment without complaining hoping things were going to get better and now, she is back to give everything she had endured in ten fold." Gerald said nothing but simply stared at the image of the daughter he loathed. " When I find her.." he said with his hands clenched. " I am going to squeeze the life out of her." James smirked. "There is a difference, Mr Gerald. if y

    Dennis walked into the room with a triumphant smile on his face. "I told you this was going to be easy," he said, falling to the sofa close to him."No, Dennis. I know my family. They aren't going to back down. James is going to try and counterattack or, at the worst, trust something stupid. He always does."Dennis's brow furrowed. "Like the gun he brought out today?" "He brought a gun?" I asked, lifting my gaze from the file.A man like him is dubious. Besides, I can't wait to hear that your sister is going to leave him," Dennis replied. I shook my head and tilted it backwards. "You still don't know my family, Dennis. They are the weirdest human beings I have ever known. Sheila is never going to let go of James. She sees him as a trophy." I saidI looked at the file, and I was pleased. I had seventy percent of everything back. They were in my name, but that was not enough. I want my family to suffer the same fate that I have. I want my father to fall at my feet and apologize, t

    I simply sat on the comfort chair with a drink in my hand. Watching James and my sister try and save the little they had was fun. I have never seen her so scared. The thought of going back to a poor state scared the hell out of her. But I didn't pity them. They had stolen everything from me. My home, my mother and the wealth she left behind for me. I was not going to watch anymore. I was going to fight and show them how much I was going to make them suffer. I watched as James sighed the document and pushed it across the table. " It is done." Hawkins said into the coms. " Also, tell them they are dropping the cars too. Everything they had today was all thanks to my dead mother. I am going to be taking more than half of everything they have." I said again Hawkins relaxed, a gentle smile played on his lips. "Is that all?" James asked " All? No. This is actually the beginning of a long term business between the two of us actually." Hawkins replied." What do you mean? We didn't

    James held her gaze, but there was something fractured behind his eyes now. A secret he has kept for many years was now about to be blown right in his face. It was supposed to be simple but Sheila's father was smarter. James thought he was going to be handling everything to his daughter but instead Gerald didn't. For a moment, he said nothing.Then he laughed.It wasn’t humor. It was exhaustion.“You still think this is about me alone,” he said quietly, shaking his head. “That’s the problem, Sheila. It stopped being just about me the moment you said ‘I do.’”Sheila stiffened, her fingers tightening again around the pen. “Then start talking,” she snapped. “No more half-truths.”James stared at her. He knew the moment he told her the truth then he was going to lose his grip, lose his hold over her. He never loved her anyways. It was all about the inheritance. It was almost about getting his share out of the Gerald siphon from his late wife. That was his plan and it was quite simple.

    " What is he talking about?" Sheila asked James gaze slowly left Hawkins and landed on Sheila who was a bit jittery. " You don't need to listen to whatever he says. My name's James Howard and that is it!" " Is it?" Hawkins said laughing. James knew he was caught in Hawkins trap again. " Fine! Where do I sign!" Sheila rushed toward him and grab the pen. " And you think we don't need to talk about this?" she snapped. James frowned.." Can you give us a minute?" he asked looking at Hawkins.Hawkins simply laughed and got to his feet. " Of course. You have all the time you want. Let me know what you decide to do but mind you..." he took a pause. " You don't have a choice." The door clicked shut behind Hawkins, but the echo of his words lingered like a stain in the room.You don’t have a choice.Sheila turned sharply to James, her grip still tight on the pen as though it were the only thing keeping her grounded. “Explain,” she demanded, her voice lower now, but far more dangerous.

    James eyes scanned the document real quick. His eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets seeing the agreement terms. "Are you for real? What the hell is this?" he shouted. The ball pen he was holding suddenly fell off his hands while he pushed the boom back to the middle of the table. Sheila's gaze went to the centre of the table and he immediately grabbed the book. She read it real fast before her gaze changed into something meaner. " Is this real? You want seventy percent of everything we have laboured for? Why?" she snapped. " Why what?" Hawkins said with amusement in his voice. He snapped his hands into the air again and a girl brought a tray containing a glass bottle for brandy. " Care for a cup of wine?" he asked" Keep your wine, Mr Hawkins. We don't know what we have done for you to be doing this." Sheila said, her eyebrows furrowed. " If I tell you what you, would you have apologized or does that change the fact that what you did was wrong?" Hawkins said again,his han

    Sheila and James stared at each other for quite a while. They both knew they were fighting a shadow. A shadow that doesn't care about negotiating but brings them down to their very knees. Sheila landed on the sofa, and tears welled in her eyes. "Do you think this is karma? Maybe we are paying fo

    Past events can be therapeutic. The rain brought back all my memories. Every word my father spoke that night. The laughter of his wife and the way I was thrown out of my marital home. “I remember!” I cried, tears running down my face. “You remember? Is that for real?” Dennis asked, grabbing m

    The thrill of power surged through me like fire. For the first time in years, I felt untouchable.Every betrayal, every humiliation, every sleepless night of despair—it all pointed to this moment.I shut my eyes and I could remember all the pains. My nose bled again, and I tilted my head backwards,

    James dropped the call, sweating profusely. "Who the hell does she think she is? How can she do this to me?" He smashed the glass cup he was holding on the wall so loud that Sheila rushed out of the room. "What is going on, James? You scared the shit out of me!" she said with a worried look. Jam
