Bianca wriggled helplessly, her breath came in sharp, short takes. Just then a scream shattered the living room. “Jacintha!”, a female voice rang out. The figure dropped her bag in shock. She ran to the two people and pushed Jacintha away. Bianca stood up, coughing and gasping for air. She staggered backwards and ran out of the house. Seeing her prey leave, Jacintha shot to her feet to catch Bianca. Someone held her tightly. Jacintha fought back, she saw her younger sister's face. Jackie. A familiar face broke her confidence, she burst into tears. “Jackie...”, she screamed out in agony. “My daughter is alive....”, After crying her heart out, she sat in a corner in her room. Jackie knocked, when she didn't hear a reply she entered the door, shutting the door softly behind her.It broke Jackie's heart to see Jacintha like that. She stared at her sister in disbelief, her chest tightened. After watching everything she had been up to for the past few months, she made up ger mind to v

The ride back to Jacintha’s penthouse was painful. She gazed at her daughter who was fascinated with the outside. Vida pressed her face against the car window, fascinated by the blur of city lights. Every now and then, she pointed at something, a neon sign, a street vendor, a busker playing the violin but when Jacintha didn’t answer, she settled back into her seat quietly, watching her and smiling at whatever she said. Jacintha’s eyes never left her daughter once. She wanted to hold her tightly so she can never go away from her again but she didn't want to scare the little girl.She had her daughter back, she should have felt contended, but all she could feel was the hollow ache of losing her four years ago. It felt strange to see her daughter in flesh. The only time she saw her babies was in the ultrasound sessions. When the car pulled up before the towering penthouse, Vida gasped.“Is this your house, Mommy?”“Our house,” Jacintha said softly, lashing a smile. Vida’s eyes spar

The boardroom felt more suffocating than usual, At the head of the oval glass table, Jacintha presided with a chill that could shatter glass, her focus entirely on the quarterly reports. Across from her, Reid was unusually quiet, normally he would have interrupted anything she said just to irk her, she would have also found one thing or the other to taunt him with. But now, both are silent. Their silence terrified the employees more than when they fight. The news of Jacintha not allowing Reid to board the elevator with her had spread like wildfire.He sat at the end of the oval glass table, one hand holding his pen, the other resting on the documents in front of him. His jaw tight, even though there were documents in front of him, his eyes betrayed him. Every few minutes, they drifted at her. Jacintha didn't spare him a glance, not once. Her gaze fixed on the projection screen ahead. Her demeanor flawless as she discussed the company's quarterly plans. Estelle, seated beside her br

The next morning, Vida was excited to got to school. She had no idea of how she turned the Internet upside down, all she remembered was her mother’s warm hug. She chattered happily to Ben about her new teacher and the big playground, her small hands clutching her lunchbox.But the atmosphere at the prestigious ‘Oakridge Academy’ was different today. The news had spread like wildfire through the parent group chats and the staff room. As Vida walked to her classroom, heads turned. Whispers followed her everywhere, at first she didn't notice. Later it became glaring, everybody stared at her everywhere she went. “That’s her…” “...the one on the news…” “...is her father really Reid Andros?”Her classroom, once a place of fascinating new books and colorful toys, felt like a cage. Children, coached by their parents or simply mimicking the curiosity of the adults around them, stared openly. A boy from the next table poked her arm. “Is your mom the lady who fights with your dad on TV?”Vida

When they exited the doctor's office, the air felt heavy with thousands of questions, unspoken emotions. The silence was too loud, Jacintha sniffed, a reminder of how much she cried earlier. She followed Reid down the hallway, they reached the door of Vida's ward. He turned to her, she stopped in her tracks, glancing up at him. It is today that she just realized how tall he is, her cheeks went hot recalling how they hugged earlier. “You should go home and get some rest,” Reid said, his voice low with exhaustion. He ran a hand over his face. “I will stay with her.”For a moment, all her anger was gone, replaced with the desperation of a tired mother. But, the doctor's words echoed in her mind. “Why did the doctor say ‘biological mother’?” she asked, her voice dangerously low. “You did not... you did not put Bianca’s name on my daughter's birth certificate as her mother, did you?”Reid’s lips parted, he shook his head slowly, brows snapped together. “No! I didn’t. Bianca accompani
