All Chapters of From Heartbreak To Stepmom: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

Third person POV“What the hell Anne! We were friends, you told me that you were going to do anything in your power to bring Ralph and me together.” Melody sourly said.“In my power… fortunately, I know what’s not within my power so I stopped pushing it when I hit a dead end and I advised you to do the same, but what did you do? You went and sat on TV airing your dirty laundry.”Melody growled, “Ralph threatened my life, what was I supposed to do? Shut up and let him have his way? I did that to protect myself,”“I suspect that you were the one behind the attacks and if Ralph threatened you I’m sure he found out too, Ralph doesn’t act on impulse,” Anne argued.Melody was at a loss for words because she found it hard to understand Anne’s blind loyalty to Ralph; he was clearly going to lose, yet she had left Garry’s team to support him. Was she in love with him? That would make sense why she couldn’t walk out of his life, but wasn't Anne older than Ralph? Anne may look young and very bea

Alison POVI was looking forward to Melody’s latest interview, which was set to air at 5 pm, but 30 minutes before the scheduled time, there was an announcement about the cancellation of the show due to legal issues. No further explanations were given so I logged online to find any leads on why it was cancelled. I won’t lie, I was so excited that it was canceled because she’s done way too much in the last couple of days.While logging online, I found an article stating that Ralph had sued Melody and banned her from speaking about him, otherwise, she would face a $ 50 million lawsuit. She was not to speak of him or anything related to him or even vaguely reference him. My smile got wider and wider till I could feel it on both ends of my face. Finally, we were getting somewhere.There was a knock on my door and just when I thought it was Roberta, I saw Ralph standing behind my door in the cold snow wearing a black hoodie over his head and a face mask. I quickly opened the door, but he d

Ralph POVI was working on my laptop at Alison’s dining table while she went to and fro, trying to prep something for lunch. I just wanted to order some takeout, but she claims she has cravings that only she can satisfy, so I let her. The exercise is good for her body anyway.Anne sent me about 10 text messages simultaneously then started calling at once, she barely ever blasts my phone like that so I guess there was something she desperately needed to talk about so I answered right away.“Ralph! Guess what?”“What?” I didn’t like to play the guess game after things were looking serious.“After one torturous week, I finally found out who called the news stations to break the news about Alison’s pregnancy,”To be honest I wasn’t thinking about that, I had been following up on Melody’s case to see how far investigations were going, we were gradually nearing the end of the campaign season and yet I hadn’t made any public appearances, and I couldn’t make one till all attention was focused

Ralph POVI would have canceled this whole interview if not for Mike who I know will probably strangle me if I do so. He’s been fighting so hard for me and I can’t let his efforts go to waste.He met us at the studio and by just looking at his face you could tell how relieved he was,“Alpha Ralph, please come and sit here and get your makeup done.” One of them instructed which I humbly obeyed.As Mike watched me get ready, he linked me, “Please Ralph, be on your best behavior. Even if someone says something offensive, act like you didn’t hear it or laugh it off.” I stared briefly at him and reluctantly nodded, “Oh and Anne says, Cory has still not shown up even after blocking his cards.” He added. I looked up at him again, where could that boy be? I don’t smell him around, has he left the country? Is it too late to report him missing? I was starting to get worried. All of this mess was weighing heavily on me including the update on Alison’s pregnancy. I just can’t wait for everythi

Alison POV“Mr. Humphrey, I appreciate your concern for me but I am not complaining, I understand Ralph’s actions and I agree with him.” I stood my ground against his psychological manipulation.“You agree with him because all your life you’ve been taught to settle for less, Alison I blame your mother. But it’s not too late, you’re young so we can still fix this.”That statement annoyed me, all my life he wasn’t present, my existence meant nothing because I was dead to him but somehow he thinks he can show up and get me to do whatever he pleases. There’s no way that’s going to happen.“Mr. Humphrey…”“Call me dad, I’m your father.”“Well then act like one. Respect my choices and stop interpreting things from your own point of view.” I snapped.He chuckled and paused for a long while before deciding to talk.“I want you to be great Alison, I want more for you, more than just some baby mama lurking in the shadows.” That stung a little, if I’m being honest, and he took my silence for co
