CHAPTER TWELVE"How dare he? What gave him the audacity to_" Maria was saying but kept quiet and sat down beside Henry. "What is going through your mind?" Henry asked her."I don't know. But we have to find a way forward, maybe eloop or something, "Maria replied."Where do we go?" Henry asked."I am helplessly in love with you, Henry. I can't let them take you away from me," she said and held his hand with her heart beating really fast."Do you really want to elope with me?" Henry asked."I love you, Henry. I would die if they rule this case against us, and the court hands me over to them, "Maria insisted. Henry hugged Maria tightly and pecked her forehead. Dylan figured out what was going on and fell ill. Maria kept assuring him that she wouldn't leave him no matter what. She tried to avoid anything that would make her think about the court hearing as the day kept drawing closer. Maria and Henry knew the atmosphere wouldn't be good for Henry, so they decided to take him on a vaca

CHAPTER FOURTEENMaria woke in the morning feeling a bit feverish. She decided to call on her doctor to come check up on her. It's been a week since she got locked up in her room forcefully.After calling her doctor, she turned on her mobile data to check a few things on the Internet, and the first thing she saw really dropped her jaw. She saw pictures of Henry and Dylan in Disney, and it was tagged. "The popular Billionaire Mugols son and grand son were seen somewhere in Disney after losing a court case recently." Maria wiped her eyes and glared at her phone again. She thought Henry was just a normal rich guy. Her parents thought so too, and everyone around did. She never knew he was the son of a billionaire. Why, then, did he not use his influence to save her?She thought that the bloggers could be lying just to draw attention to themselves. She decided to check Henry's profile, and he also posted pictures of himself and his son in Disney. "They could be in Disney for real, but H

CHAPTER SIXTEENHenry and Dylan had so much fun in Disney land, and when they had exhausted all the fun there, Dylan asked that his dad take him to atlanta. He wanted to see the ocean.They visited different places after seeing the ocean. Henry was happy that his son was strong and happy again. He sat in their hotel room watching their pictures while Dylan was asleep. He noticed the smile on Dylan's face in the first pictures, where dad smiled and that his face got brighter by the day. In recent pictures, Dylan had a cute and sincere smile all over his face, and it impressed Henry so much to see that his son was happy again. He had doubts about taking him back to the city just yet, but Dylan needed to attend school. He had missed classes for almost three weeks, and he didn't want his son to keep missing out. He had promised the school that they would return in a week and kept postponing, making the school question their reason for giving them the short break at first.Henry knew his

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN "I would tell you over dinner, I promise", Maria said and tried to free herself from Henry's grip."You won't because our son would be there", Henry replied. "I will, I promise you that I will", Maria insisted, and Henry allowed her to go continue with her preparation. After cooking and serving the food, the three gathered around the table and Maria dished some food into everyone's plate. As they ate, she began to narrate everything that happened and how it happened. "So, I was consistently crying and praying to God, and yes he answered me. My parents had bribed my lawyer, and made her turn her back against me_""Your parents bribed her? How did you know?" Henry asked."Of course, I do. How would I not know? I called her for help and she asked that I forget about you and move on with my life. Thank God who still used her to bring us back together. She raised her hand when the pastor asked if there is anyone who doesn't want the bride and groom together, and guess w

CHAPTER TWENTY "Mom, your phone wouldn't stop ringing," Dylan called out his mom.She had just picked him up from the school and was preparing lunch for him. He was still th dining waiting for her, and her phone was lying on the table. She rushed out of the kitchen and picked up her phone. "Hello," she said."Hello ma'am, this is Doctor Sampson. I am calling to inform you that your husband had been involved in another accident", she heard the doctors voice from the other end, and her heart jumped out of her stomach. "What!" She screamed. She pressed the red button and picked up the car key, which lay on the table beside her phone. She tried to hurry out of the house when her eyes caught her son, and she came to a full stop. "Oh, you are here already," she said and sighed.She regretted that they had to send their helper back home. Although back then, they thought it was necessary to let her go without replacing her since she only wanted to visit her mom for a few months and would
