~JESSICA~I was looking at him with curiosity; he had an evil smirk.“So you think you’re Mr. Thompson's daughter? Have you ever wondered why your aunt hates you so much, why she never cared for you, and why she took the house that was supposed to be yours? Have you ever wondered why you have a different skin color?" He asked, and I couldn’t help but wonder. I’ve always wondered why my aunt hated me, even before my parents' death. She blamed me for their deaths but still didn’t understand why I looked so different from them—even my own parents.“That’s because you’re not their real daughter; you’re not a Thompson but a Tang; you’re Korean, not Italian,” he revealed, and I gasped. Of course I didn’t fully believe him, but to make such accusations, he had to have some evidence to support his theory.“What are you talking about? And who are the Tang’s? Who are you? Why are you telling me all this?” I asked in one breath.“I already told you who I am; I’ll explain everything later because

•AUTHOR’S POV•~FIVE YEARS AGO~"Doctor, she’s stable now,” the nurse informed the doctor who was closing up her wound.They needed to save her; their lives depended on it as the man threatened them. If they lose her, they will also lose their lives. He was standing by the door, watching them work. The doctors' hearts returned to their right places when the nurse informed them that she was stable now.“Take her to the recovery room; she seems to be waking up,” the doctor instructed after he made sure all her wounds were stitched and treated.“She lost a lot of blood; let’s take her to the recovery room and give her two liters. I want her breathing monitored, movements, and her first words,” the doctor instructed the nurse, who then pulled the stretcher and led her away.“Did you inform her family?” The doctor turned to ask the man, who seemed to be lost in his thoughts.“Yes, they will be here soon, and when they get here, tell them the police brought her here.”“But sir, it’s against

~CLINTON~My mind was on my wife; her picture kept playing in my head. What if that bastard touches her? He better not dare because I’ll have his heart fed to my lions.“Boss!” My assistant screamed in fear, and I brought my mind back to reality. That's when I realised we were a thousand meters from the land and now in the middle of clouds.I couldn’t say anything; my voice was completely gone. Was I going to lose my wife and children just like this? We haven’t had any time; I planned a lot for us. I blinked away tears, and surprisingly, we were in the clear now.I played with buttons and realised we were landing."Boss, we’re… we’re landing?” He sounded surprised.I just concentrated on getting on ground, and as soon as we were on ground, I jumped off the jet. We were at the family aircraft, as all planes and cars had the family name on them, {THE SMITHS}.“Sir!” My assistant called my name, but I ignored him as I ran past staff members who were greeting me.“I need the car now!” I

~FIVE YEARS AGO~•CLINTON•“I want to tell him, but I can't. He will end up hating me for keeping it from him.”“He will understand; he is a grown man now; I think he deserves to know.”I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but hearing that made me stand by the door to have a clear understanding. What were my parents talking about?“I don’t know; I just feel like it’s best we leave it that way,” my mother said while my father opposed.“We’re deceiving him, but let’s do whatever you want,” he said. I honestly wanted to know more because I’m their only son and could only be talking about me.“He will forever remain our son; we need to do our part and tell him the truth.” I barged in as soon as my father confirmed that it was me and they were hiding something.“What truth? What are you hiding from me?”“Clinton, you… you’re here?” My mother tried to sound normal, but my father looked at her with pleading eyes.“It’s best he knows love; trust me,” he said and turned to me. “Don’t be harsh on her; s

~ONE YEAR AGO~•CLINTON•“You cannot just move; what about us?”“Sophia I told you I need to; it’s not like we have something going on apart from our daughter.”“I know, and that’s my main concern; Kiara is so attached to you, this won’t be easy for her. Just come back, please,” she begged."No, I can't; I have a business to run, and as for my daughter, I will give her my full attention; I’ll make sure she spends her weekends with me; I just can’t let her stay here with me as it might risk her life,” I explained to her, but she didn’t seem to listen.“And I won’t let you take my daughter from me; it’s either you come back to us or forget about Kiara.”“You know you’re putting me in a tricky position; I can’t leave here.”“Then forget about your daughter,” she said and ended the call.I called her back but she didn’t pick up; later it went to voice message. Frustrated, I walked out of my apartment and headed to the bar. I needed a drink to cool me down.“Jardin, let’s meet at the club.”
