AIDEN'S POV "Don't worry Mr Kim, we're all set for the conference on Thursday" I said to a business analyst over the phone."Alright Mr Hart, we'd look forward to having you speak to us then" He replied "If that would be all then I'd like to end the call here " I said to him before ending the call. I checked the time on my wrist watch, 12:45pm. The day is still young and I was already swamped with work."Mr Hart, there's a call for you from head of operations" Brent said through the intercom."Connect it to me" I replied him firmly. I have been waiting to hear from that department since Friday. It's about time they gave me a full report on their on going project."Good day Mr Hart" he started "It's about time you called Mr Wordsworth" I said sharply He cleared his throat before continuing. "I'm calling to discuss our ongoing project.... we've been experiencing some setbacks due to the decisions that was made in the last meeting " You've got to be kidding me. Is this some sort o

NORA'S POV I watched as Duke sneezed for the fourth time this morning as I prepared him for school." Oh dear... would you be able to go to preschool today?" I asked with concern evidence in my voice." I don't know mummy, it started this morning and now my nose is dripping. " He replied me "Oh dear...I can see that honey....I'm soo sorry " I said as I handed him a tissue. I went into my room to bring the thermometer I had in there and then used it. " Oh boy, your temperature is a little bit high, you sure wouldn't be able to stay in school today " I sat on his bed and let out a sigh. "I guess you'd have to come with me to work because I have soo many appointments and deadlines to meet " I said to him "Wow ...I get to follow you to work today...I'm excited!" He said out loud "Well that's only if you promise me to be good" I said looking him in the eyes. I was dead serious, I had soo many meetings lined up for today and I can't afford to miss them due to him wandering all over the

NORA'S POV " Gary Nigel... good morning it's good to see you again" I stretched forth my hand for a shake as soon as I entered the conference room."Hi good morning Miss Simmons" he replied me"I hope I didn't keep you waiting?" I asked " You're right on time...... actually we're the ones who showed up earlier than scheduled " He replied as he gestured towards his associates as they all took their seats "My team member, Sam here would give us a full review and details of how far we've gone before we head over to the sites" I explained to them "Please go ahead" Gary Nigel replied." Hey Audrey" I whispered to her as Sam walked to the front . " I asked Macy to watch Duke for me, please permit her absence" I continued " Duke?..... Duke's here?" She whispered back at me " Yea.... he's down with flu " I replied her " Oh that's terrible....I hope it's not that bad?" She asked " He'd survive....I gave him his medication already " I whispered back to her "Okay that's fine " Audrey re

NORA'S POV " You what?" Jade asked as she laid on my bed the next day. I just just finished narrating the events of yesterday to her. How Macy had volunteered to watch Duke and then lose him, how it seemed like it was on purpose because why on earth was it the exact same time Aiden was out in the open, the same time Duke ran out. " I panicked okay....... what could I have done?" I replied her defensively. " How was I supposed to know that Aiden would be coming in yesterday? Of all days he had to pick the same day I brought Duke to work" I blurted out in annoyance " right now I can't help but think that Macy did it on purpose " I added "I'm pretty sure that it was just a coincidence " Jade said "A coincidence?..." I asked rhetorically. " O'cmon Jade!.......The day Gloria Hart found out about my pregnancy, wasn't she connected to how it was revealed? ..." I asked " ....but she apologised already " Jade argued " Okay... correct she did apologise......, after five years though.....

NORA'S POV I was hurting. I felt a fresh wave of pain. I had thought that I was better, that I had healed from the emotional and mental trauma they had put me through. I had thought that I had finally risen above their negativity, but I was wrong. Little did I know that 5 years wasn't enough to heal and move on from all the hurtful words they said to me. It wasn't enough to move past the way they treated me. Memories that I had tried so hard to forget and bury came flooding back.I began to relive all of those moments once again. How my father had threatened to disown me if I do not provide the father of the child. How Mom had being in support of it and how Katie had joined them with their hateful comments. Oh how much my heart had ached and how I was beginning to feel the ache all over again. I wasn't expecting much from meeting mom and Katie but what I didn't expect is for them to still treat me the exact same way they had always done. Not caring a bit about my feelings and how
