All Chapters of The Forgotten Bride: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

My mother was not the typical mother that most people had. Even from birth, i would normally see other people's mother talk about how their mother took them to the movies, or got their favourite action figure toy for them. Mine never did any of those. Instead, from when I was little, she started taking me to see the company and learn about everything that makes it unique. I had mastered every department in that company by the time I turned 18 and yet somehow my mom was still not convinced that I had all it took to rule after she had left. My father on the other hand believed I did. Though he was never around much to show me that, I had a feeling that the only reason he did not come into the house every day to yell at me was because he did believe that I was good enough. It was easier to live in that world than to believe that my dad did not care that much about me and just did not want to be around me. I needed something to hold on to and if this was what it would take me, then I w

Mom didnt say another word for a while, she just stood there, arms crossed as she looked at me and wondered if she should really say what was on her mind or if that would throw me over the edge. She cleared her throat and then said, "I took care of the problem and erased it." She didnt even need to say another word for me to know the truth, and the truth pissed me off. "You did what?" I asked, eyes narrowing as my brain wanted to explode with anger. I knew my mother could be cruel but I have never imagined that she would go to that length just to destroy something that I had cared about so deeply. My mother, capable of murder? It was something I couldn't believe even in a thousand years but yet somehow, it was the same thing I had come to see as being my reality. "Don't look at me like that okay. You were being bewitched by that devil. You had no idea what you were doing, you needed to be free and you needed to rest. What you needed at that time was focus, you didnt need some rec

"Earth to Raye," the voice of my assistant Jules brought me back to reality and reminded me that we were in my office looking over some documents. I knew I had asked for this but right now, I was wondering if I would be able to survive in the same town as the man who had once owned every part of me. I knew he was still here. I had my man dig up every information they could get about him and it was just as I had expected. He was happily married with his wife Ivy but they did not have a child. I had sometimes lay awake in my bed, wondering how he treated her. Was he nice to her? Did he tell her the same lies he told me? When he was saying it to her, were they lies or did he mean every single word? Why didnt they have a child yet? Did Ivy not want anything to happen to her petite body? Or did Liam love her so much that he did not want to watch her go through the pain of child birth? Maybe if he had seen what I went through and also saw the miracle of life, he would have had a differen

No one would ever find out about Amara because I had made sure she died under that rain. As soon as I was sure that Liam had truly forgotten about me, I made sure to kill her. I know there was a part of me that wanted to come back to his arms and look for him even after everything that was done to me but when I looked at my son, I knew he deserved better. He deserved to have a father who wanted him from the beginning Not one that I would have to lure my way back into his arms. I knew that he deserved better and I was going to give him that. I looked up at Jules one more time. "What can I do to help you?" I asked in a plain tone but we both know that I cared about her deeply. "The reports from Japan are in. They want us to handle everything about their new project and they need you to come down there to sign some papers and get started.""No, I wont be doing that," I told you in a strict tone. "Okay, Raye this company is one of the biggest we can work with, we cant be making terms

I simply nodded my head as I tried my best to respond to everyone that greeted me. They did that thing that everyone always did when the boss was walking in. They scrambled around in fear, hoping that my eyes wont catch one dreadful stuff that they had done and tell them to meet the HR to get their termination letter. I knew I had my poker face on so none of them could actually see the excitement in me. I was giggling like a little girl inside, after all i was about to sign a contract that will definitely change my life for the better. How could I be upset on a day like that? I had to stuck everything up and just do the needful. Nothing else apart from my son mattered. I got to my office and sat on my seat. Then I closed my eyes and said a little prayer like I always do. After my prayers, I heard a knock on the door. I knew it would be none other than Jules so I kept mute and the lady walked in. Someday I would have to tell her to always wait for my command before coming into my ro
