Veronica POV Anger welled up inside me. How dare this man call me at a time when I was mourning my mother’s death like it was his duty to comfort me? “What do you want?” Anger laced my voice. The silence between us was deafening until he broke it. “I just wanted to know if you are alright. I heard the news.” He sounded solemn and sincere, but that did not affect me. I snorted at the ludicrosity of the question. “Since I was eighteen, you never once called me to inquire about how I was. Why now? Do you think calling me now would ease your guilt?” I lashed out, unable to control my anger. I was feeling enraged, and I wanted to hurt him just as I had been hurting. If only we were face to face, I would have landed my fist on him. Father or not, I don’t think he deserved that title for ruining my mother. “Veronica. Johanna…” I could feel the suffering in my father's tone, but it did nothing to abate the hatred simmering inside me. “Don’t call her name.” I hissed to cut hi

Oliver POVI put my phone down after unsuccessfully connecting with Veronica. The last time I checked on her was this afternoon. She took a rain check about the party and told me she would stay with him when I inquired earlier after the boutique informed me that they delivered her dress. I wanted her to come because I wanted to formalize our relationship.Before this day arrived, I asked Lucas’ permission to use this venue for my proposal. I wanted Veronica to be my official girlfriend.Lucas raised his brows.“You look worried? Was there a hitch to your plans?” I nodded and sighed. “Veronica is not coming.”Lucas knew what happened to her Nanny Miller, and we all understood that she was mourning. Lucas frowned in concern. “Is she okay? Katherine tried calling her earlier, but her phone was off.” “She is fine, but she is still hurting,” I told him after deciding on ditching the party. Veronica is more important than any party. I realized that I shouldn’t have left her alo

Katherine POV“You look so pretty, Mommy.” I smiled at my reflection in the mirror before turning my head toward Erin. My daughter stood outside the room Lucas reserved for us. It was a suite. “Thank you, sweetie.” Erin beamed at me, and I beckoned for her to come closer, but she hesitated, earning a frown from me. “Why are you standing there? Come here.” Erin wiped the baby hair that escaped the confines of her braided hair before answering my question. “You look so beautiful, like a fairy princess, Mommy.” At her pronouncements, I threw my head back and laughed out loud. “I am still me. Erin's mommy.” I informed her before urging her to come closer. Erin stopped hesitating and ran to my side. “Careful.” I cautioned, and she screeched to a halt. Then, she began to tiptoe toward me. Her back was huddled because she was making sure that she wouldn't slip on the floor. She reminded me of Tinker Bell in a princess gown that looked so good on her. Her dress matches my gow

Katherine POVAfter witnessing Noreen’s shock, Lucas, with Erin in his arms, geared me toward the lobby. I was slowly getting used to the stares I got from people around us when we entered the event’s function hall. At the entrance, Lucas put Erin down and held her hand while he wrapped his arm around mine. We walked the red carpet. Cameras whirred and flashed upon our arrival. I did not realize that practitioners from various media entities were invited to the event. The realization almost made me falter in my steps.If Lucas is not gripping my waist, I would have buckled down. I held back, suddenly feeling shy. I heard gasps and cheers from the crowd,I do not need any introduction. If Noreen knew the real Mrs. Lucas Sanders would be in attendance tonight. I guess everyone was anticipating our arrival. I saw Lorrie smiling at me and clapping her hands.My head turned, looking for my best friend. I heard that she was heartbroken at the death of her nanny, but I was half-exp

Noreen's POV In gritted teeth, I felt humiliation wash over me as hotel staff helped me up from my embarrassing fall on the stairs.  They all tried to hide their mirth but their eyes showed how they found my predicament funny! Angrily, I shoved the hands helping me away and cried out in frustration.  "Don't touch me. How dare you touch me."  I was livid at the indignity Lucas Sanders put me through.  How dare he humiliate me like this? I am Noreen Jacobs. People in the upper class tremble at the mention of my name.
