- Chapter 91: Nicely & Blood - Aaliyah's P.O.V I watched as Tia drew my blood with a needle, I had to admit I wanted to throw up. I was a bit squeamish at the sight of blood so I looked the other way until she was finished. That didn't take too long as she spoke. "Ok done." She gently cleaned my arm before placing a bandage against the small wound. "When will I get the results?" She shrugged, slipping off her gloves. "About 2-3 days, it depends. I'll call you as soon as I get them. Don't worry." I sent her a grateful smile as I stood. "Alright, I should go ho-" I told her but I was cut off by the sound of the door opening, our eyes were immediately greeted by Marcus's.

- Chapter 93: Want & Die - “Aaliyah! How are you?” Antonio’s mother asked, greeting me with a side hug, “I’m great, how about you?” “I’m feeling amazing. Raymond, come greet your daughter-in-law and your son.” Her husband, who had been talking to someone, excused himself and made his way to her without protest or any sign of irritation from her order. “Aaliyah, Antonio. Thank you for the invitation.” Britany rolled her eyes, “Why are you always so formal? Try smiling a bit. Antonio, Aaliyah, excuse us.” We nodded watching as Britany and Raymond walked away while he tried to listen to her order and smile, he seemed sick whenever he did it. “I swear your mother is the only one who can speak to uncle Raymond lik

- Chapter 95: Date & Truth - Aaliyah’s P.O.V I stared at Samantha waiting for her to speak up and answer my question. Tia seemed wary of her presence after the things I had told her about Samantha, she unconsciously took a step in front of me as if to protect me if anything happened. I doubted Samantha had the guts to hurt me, but I also knew her obsession with Antonio would probably drive her that length. “Answer me, what are you doing here?” I asked once again this time there was much more venom in my voice. “I’m here for charity.” She answered with a creepy smile that had the hairs on my arms standing. “I don’t believe that for a second. You weren’t invited.” Samantha nodded walking towards the sink, resting her purse

- Chapter 97: Call & Tia - Aaliyah’s P.O.V I wasn’t too shocked by his announcement because I saw the pictures of her baby bump earlier, but now that he admitted it I realized he didn’t just lose Lillian, he lost his baby. “How long ago was this?” My father asked, “About 3 years.” Antonio responded softly, looking very tired from all the questions and I wasn’t surprised as I would be too if I was being hounded like this. “Y—” My sister Isabella started but I spoke, cutting her off. “No more questions for tonight.” No one made a move to object. “Alright, we’ll go home.” My mother said as she stood from the chair she sat.

-Chapter 99: Fruits & Mother In Law-About four hours had passed since Antonio had left, and honestly, I was feeling extremely lonely, but I knew I had to power through until this whole scandal had blown over."How are you feeling?" Tia asked me the second I answered her call, and I unconsciously caressed my stomach."Good besides constantly throwing up my food," I confessed with a bittersweet tone."Is Antonio taking good care of you?" She inquired, and her words only reminded me of his absence and my longing to see him."He's at work, but Maria's here with me." "I'm guessing he'd doing damage control?""Yeah," I confirmed while sitting up on my bed the sound I felt the urge to vomit rising from the depths of my throat."Do you think this can be resolved?" She questioned me as I brought the bucket that was located on my table to my mouth as I moved off the bed."Hopefully, I-" I began, but was interrupted by the rejection of my food that found its way out of my stomach and through
