[ Colton ]I walked too and fro in my living room while my lawyer Mr. Harrison was busy going through legal procedure and Brandon, my cousin being a total child was busy playing game in his phone."Are you sure you still want to do it?" Mr. Harrison gave me a questioning look.I marched towards him."What do you think Mr. Harrison?"I nodded my head curtly, the man shook his head and forwarded the papers to me.I read each provision in detail giving my solo attention on those papers which were going to decide my future."Everything looks good, Mr. Harrison still I have doubt, will it work?" I asked him for final confirmation."I am working for Blacks since your father's time,you know very well that I don't leave a loop hole, Mr.Black." He replied in his professional manner. He was right, since my father's time he had been handling all the legal matters of Black family and the company."Thank you Mr. Harrison for coming here on a very short notice. I appreciate your efforts and please

[ Evangeline ]I felt light hearted when I walked out of the Church after two hours sermon. It gave me solace, ignited a ray of hope to fight upcoming battle against the past demons, I tried to figure out the solution of my problems when I saw all door closed leaving me in a labyrinth of confusion and conflicting dilemma.It was 10:45 AM which meant I still had time to reach on my next destination so I waited for a bus rather than hiring a cab. I earned enough for both of us or buy a car but I do believe in saving single pennies. There was a time when I used to sleep without food for days and proper clothes in winter.Throughout the journey to the restaurant my mind debated with my actions. Whatever I was doing or going to do would leave me either to the end of my miseries or push me into another swamp of misfortune.I stepped down from the bus as I reached at the nearby bus stop. I wore a simple lime green midi dress which ended just below my knees. I like my black pumps usually I pr

[ Colton ]"Sir, Mrs. Black is on her way to your office. Should I send her in or..." Hendrick paused and gauged my reaction. He couldn't risk his job by disrespecting the Boss's wife but currently I wasn't in a mood to see or talk to anyone.My meeting with Evangeline went off the track. That wily woman crushed all my positive hopes to be with my son without any tricks and hostility."Sir?" Hendrick called out my name again to grab my attention."Send her in." I sighed pinching the bridge of my nose.He nodded his head and left.Evanca returned from her trip late night. I spent the whole night in my home office and she must be probably exhausted from the journey that we didn't see each other even at the breakfast table. After dropping Mia at school, I directly drove to my office to divert my mind from my personal life temporarily but it didn't work.My mind kept going back on Chase. My desire to be with my son had been increasing and deepening with each passing day. I wanted to be wi

[ Evangeline ]"I knew it was a bad idea, Dom but you said that it would work but I am not sure anymore. Chase isn't talking to us." I rubbed my forehead as the migraine was getting worse.He placed his hand gently on my shoulder,"Give him some time, Eve. He's a child and their psychological state is sensitive. He always saw me as his uncle and god father but now, he has to accept me as a father figure which he never had. Please, don't stress yourself, I beg you, Evangeline." He said in a comforting way but it failed to ease my anxiety over my son's behavior."He hasn't said a word to me or you since he heard us talking of marriage, Dom. He even refused to accompany us to the marriage registration office. I don't care what Colton would do but I am afraid of my son's heartbreak. He's hurt and it's killing me too." I leaned on his shoulder."Let's try again to talk to him once he returns from school. We can take him out for dinner at his favorite KFC restaurant and then we'd make him un

[ Evangeline ]"Chase baby, shall we go back to our home now if you feel okay to travel?" I asked my boy softly, his still looked tired but the doctor said that he was fine. They ran all the test to ensure his health.Oh I forgot to mention that Dominic called the best doctors of the most expensive hospital in the city to examine Chase."Yeah, Mommy but you promise me to make my favorite cheese sandwich and hot chocolate." He blinked his big eyes at me."I will, now let Uncle Dom pick you up and before you say that you're a strong man, let me say that you are tired and weak to walk by yourself." I reminded him. A part of me felt elated that he finally talked to me after days since he heard of our marriage."Chase, hey buddy, come here. I'll pick you or you can take a ride on my back if you wish." Dominic tried to break the ice between them.Chase looked up at a waiting Dominic but instead of a vocal response, he slowly nodded his head."Good, now come here." He stretched his arms for
