Chapter 121~ Mother and daughter reunite

Miriam's smile froze. Regardless, she remained calm because she knew Henry wouldn't have given her fake dollar notes. "There must be a misunderstanding. Please check again," she told the female staff. "I already verified this with our counterfeit detection procedure. Officers, search these people for more counterfeit notes," the female staff instructed. "This is unnecessary. I'm a businesswoman and make all my money genuinely. If you wish to check, you're free to do so," Miriam said and willingly handed over the bag of money for the officers to check. After all, she had nothing to hide. Henry Ford was known to never engage in illegal activities so she was very sure the money he gave her was not fake. The two officers took the bag and opened it. Their eyes popped out at the amount of cash in the bag. After two minutes of going through the dollar notes, the officers shared a look and nodded. Miriam smirked when she saw this. She said, "I told you the money isn't fake-" "It

Chapter 122~ Movie night

"I agree. Let's do that. It's been a rough day. I'll feel better if we all stay together tonight," Roxanne said after taking a long breath. The thought of being separated from the children scared the daylights out of her. She was having flashbacks to the moment she realised she lost Clara and was afraid it would happen again if she didn't stay alert. When Clara was brought back, relief washed over Roxanne. She immediately bathed her and Doctor Jericho was called over to check on her. Even though he wasn't a paediatrician, he did general medicine before specialising in ob/gyn so he was able to do a medical checkup on the baby. Another wave of relief washed over Roxanne when Doctor Jericho didn't find anything wrong with the baby. "We don't know how she was kept in that one hour she was taken. So, keep an eye on her." That was Doctor Jericho's word of caution before he left. From that time, Roxanne hadn't rested or left the children alone even for one minute. “Yay! I've neve

Chapter 123~ Sick

Roxanne and Henry lay on their sides, facing each other with their children sleeping in the middle. "How are you feeling?" Henry asked as he looked into Roxanne's eyes. Roxanne sighed. Her eyes were red and swollen from all that crying. She ran a hand through Oliver's curls and answered, "I feel better... This was a good idea. Thanks, babe." "I'm sorry for what you experienced today and I want you to stop blaming yourself. If anything, it was my fault for hiring nurses who were recommended by Doctor Brown," Henry remarked, guilt creeping into him at the thought. "Luckily, we found our daughter. It's not your fault too. Let's be more careful from now on," Roxanne proclaimed. What mattered was that Clara was returned and Miriam had finally been arrested. "I'll reinforce our security. Everyone coming in and out of the villa will undergo serious screening. I won't let anyone hurt our family again," Henry declared. Guilt crept into him each time he thought about his daughter. I

Chapter 124~ Staying strong

Henry and Roxanne had to wait for more tests to be done on baby Clara. It was at midday when the analysis of her condition was finalized. The couple stood outside the ward as the new paediatrician explained his findings. “The infection is bacterial and it has affected the lungs but something is strange. It has spread very quickly in a few hours. We have found several traces of streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria in her bloodstream. That’s what caused the infection. I'm suspecting that someone may have injected your baby with this bacteria.” Henry furrowed his eyebrows. He looked at his wife, before returning his gaze to the doctor and asked, “My daughter was kidnapped yesterday. So, it's possible that the kidnappers could have done this." Roxanne's heart was racing erratically as she listened to their exchange. Her body was trembling slightly from fear and anger. How could her stepmother be so evil that she harmed a baby? “The bacteria is usually cultivated to make vaccines for pn

Chapter 125~ Their punishment

“What are you going to do to us? This is illegal!” Miriam Hopper screamed at no one in particular. She and her accomplices were placed in a dark solitary room. It had no windows for proper ventilation and it smelled like something had died in there. "Why did they bring us here, Mom?" Maya asked with fear laced in her voice. "W-what is going on? Are they going to torture us?" Doctor Jonas Brown's voice resonated in the dark room. "I think so. We messed with Henry Ford after all. Rumours say he's ruthless to those who offend him," Jennifer answered. "Mom, I told you it was a bad idea-" "Shut up, bitch! She's not your mother!" Maya hissed. She had learned that Jennifer was her half-sister but she didn't want to accept her. Miriam didn't react. There was no point in making them like each other if they would spend years in prison anyway. Jennifer's heart clenched when Miriam kept quiet. Even though she knew her mother never loved her, she expected her to acknowledge her. Howeve

Chapter 126~ We will be ok

~FLASHBACK TO FOUR DAYS AGO~ It was time for Roxanne to feed the baby that was admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit at the Ford Hospital. She entered the ward, holding the cup that had the milk she had just expressed. Her heart clenched as she approached baby Clara's crib. The constant hum from the machines and occasional beeps from the monitors that were observing the baby's pulse rate and oxygen saturation levels sounded deafening to Roxanne's ears. Roxanne took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart down before taking a good look at her daughter. Her stomach churned violently. Clara's condition was worrying. Her skin appeared to be pale and dry. The ventilator she was put on made a rhythmic sound, blending with the electronic sounds of the monitors. Each beep sent a pang of pain to Roxanne's heart. She could see green veins through her baby's pale skin. Clara's little chest rose and fell but it seemed like the movement was forced. "I'm so sorry, baby,"

Chapter 127~ Bright future

A week passed. In the damp solitary cell... The lights were out and the area felt stuffed. There was little to no air, making those locked up in there twist and turn in distress. It was the worst experience one could ever go through. It had been a week since they had eaten any food. After three days of being in the isolation cell, when they thought they would die from dehydration, they were given water just to keep them alive. A few days in that small cell felt like a thousand years in the valley of death. It was so suffocating and inhaling the putrid air was horrifying. They cried and begged to be released but their pleas fell on deaf ears. It was at that point that they realised what they had done. Messing with Henry Ford was the biggest mistake they had ever made. Miriam was worse off than the rest. Having been injected with the same bacteria she injected into baby Clara's body, she had developed a lung infection within two days. It was painful to breathe... She felt like blaz

Chapter 128~ Texting

Finally, Roxanne returned to work. She had delegated her work to her assistant, Sarah Stevens, for the time that she was on leave. Sarah was being assisted by the managers that Roxanne had hired a few weeks ago. As Roxanne walked into the mall, she was impressed to see how well the place was being run. It was safe to say that Roxanne had created a system that made the mall operate properly without her presence. Everything was on point. There was order and customers flocked into the place one after the other. Roxanne was impressed. The employees welcomed her happily as she walked through the mall. “Welcome back, Ma'am!” “Welcome back, managing director!” “Welcome back, boss!” Roxanne smiled and acknowledged their greetings. She waved at some that she couldn't shake hands with. Dressed in a turquoise jacket and pant suit, she looked professional and elegant. Her hair was slicked back into a neat low bun. Nude pointed stiletto heels adorned her feet. She wore the pearl dia

Chapter 129~ Oliver turns nine

The weekend soon came. Ford Paradise Hotel received a lot of guests that day. These guests were big shots from all over the country. The Hotel's car park was packed with Porsche cars, jeeps, Rolls Royce cars, sedans, Maybach cars and Bentleys. It was evident that there was an important event happening in the VIP hall inside the Ford Paradise Hotel. People wondered what the occasion was for big shots to gather in one place at the same time. Little did they know that there was no corporate meeting that would bring these big shots huge profits. Nor was it a seminar for investors. Instead, inside the VIP hall, the place was decorated with a galaxy theme. At the front, a huge portrait of Oliver Ford hung mid-air with the words, “Oliver Ford turns nine.” It was the first son of the Fords, Oliver Ford's birthday. His father, Henry Ford had invited several big shots and their kids to attend the birthday party. This was to introduce Oliver to people who would be of help to him in th

Chapter 130~ Nervous

Claire Hamilton had a medium-sized teddy bear with brown fur that was given to her by her mother before she left her at the orphanage. It was her most priceless treasure but she selflessly gave it to Oliver as a birthday present. Oliver glanced at the teddy bear in his hands. He asked, "Are you sure? You like this teddy, Claire." "It's ok. I want you to have it. Best friends should share," Claire remarked with a sweet smile. "It's the only one you have. You saw all the toys that people brought for my birthday... I have more, I can't get yours," Oliver explained. "Yes, but this is special. It's a gift from your friend," Claire stated. "Nanny Celeste said gifts from your friends are more special than from strangers." Oliver smiled. He held the teddy bear and replied, "Thank you. I'll keep it safe for you." Roxanne watched this exchange and took a picture with her phone. She then went to show her husband and said, "They are so adorable. I hope they remain good friends when they
