Landon helped her to the apartment. Feeling tipsy, she stumbled on her footsteps. Landon had his hand on her waist while he locked the door. Her eyes took in his side profile, totally enamored.Her eyes fell on his defined pink lips, and the alcohol 8n her body gave her the courage to act recklessly. Forwarding her hand, she grabbed on to the collar of his shirt, pulling him down in the process. Without giving him the time to react, she pressed down her lips on to him.He stiffened for a second before responding to her.Rabbles of butterfly created a mess in her stomach, and her mind, consumed by desires, was unable to think straight. He pulled back, but she wished to continue.He pointed out, “You are drunk.”“I am not,” she replied, “I want you.”“Sure?” he asked— his raspy voice making it hard for her to breathe.“Yeah.”°°°When she woke up the next day, she realized she laid naked on the bed, and this got her to blink her eyes a few times. The soreness in her body felt foreign t

As she gave her word, Leah made Evelyn was properly taken care of. Her snarky and condescending comments didn’t stop, but at this point, Evelyn had grown a thick skin against her venomous words.However, at least she was anticipating for the arrival of her grandchild, appearing excited at the idea of it.But one thing she found unbearable was the frequent appearance of Stacey. Although her words to Evelyn in front of everyone was sweet and supportive, in private, she didn’t hide her hatred towards Evelyn.Leah’s regretful attitude didn’t help either.But ignoring all that, she was excited, anticipating for the arrival of her child.Currently, she was at her fifth month.The first movement from her baby today brought a wide grin on her face. She placed her hand on her stomach, stroking it, while hoping for her baby to make more movements.This just made it all more real.Instantly, she wanted to tell Landon about it.She called his number, waiting for him to pick up the phone. Her fing

But before she was able to leave the house with her gun, Landon arrived, and his eyes immediately went towards the weapon in her hand. They narrowed on her face before he proceeded to ask, “What are you planning to do?”With her voice dripping with determination, she answered, “Kill Stacey.”“That’s enough, Evelyn. Put that gun down. It is not safe. Instead of being controlled by your emotions, try to think rationally,” he calmly said.“Shut up! I am done listening to you! A life for a life. Since she killed my child, it’s only fair I take hers,” she stated.His voice dropped dangerously low before he stated, “You will stop this absurdity at once. I have endured enough of your tantrums. Don’t force me to take actions you wouldn’t like.”Her teeth dug into her lower lip, drawing out blood.“You will stop me from killing her?” she questioned.“Evelyn, I have a lot to say to you. That’s why, let’s discuss the matter before recklessly making a decision you will regret.”“Fuck off! What ma

On the bed was a little girl resting. Her complexion was pale, and she had a delicate stature. Her body was connected to a monitor. An IV drip was attached to her hand.The sight made Evelyn's eyes widen."W-What?" she stuttered out.She couldn't process the situation in front of her. Her body trembled as she took a step forward. She stumbled and almost fell, but Landon came to the rescue by holding her shoulders, providing her with support."That's our baby."His masculine and deep voice fell.Her heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.She glared at him fiercely upon hearing this and clutched on to the collar of his shirt tightly. Her jaw clenched, and anger radiated off of her.Her aura was imposing."Do you realize what you are saying? What type of sick joke is this?"He sighed."I am not joking. This is the truth. Our baby, she didn't die back then."This made Evelyn's mind blank. She didn't know what to make of the situation. All these years, she cried due to her daughter's deat

Landon took in a deep breath and started, "In the beginning, even I thought that she didn't make it. The doctor, he colluded with Stacey and let the entire family believe she died.At the same time, Stacey hid her away. I didn't notice in the beginning, but she left behind enough flaws for me to catch on to it. This made me panic, and I knew if I wanted to find our baby, I needed to hurry and do it in a way that didn't alert Stacey.That's why, I said those hurtful words to you in the hospital back then. I can never be sorry enough. I had to gain Stacey's trust, and that was the best way to do it under her watch.Your state was fragile then, and I was afraid of you alarming Stacey. It was wrong of me to withhold the information from you, but that was the best I could do.When I managed to find our baby, I planned to tell you all about it, but your mental state worsened. You became suicidal and wished to divorce me.The psychiatrist told me to let you go, but I didn't want to be sepa
