Maeve“Mom! I am Eve too, you know, and I was in Italy not long before that!”I reminded her.“Sorry, I genuinely didn’t think it would be you, but I think it all worked out in the end since you are here with him now and he is your—boyfriend?”I nodded at her question.“He is my boyfriend, and because of you it took longer for us to get together,”I scolded her.“I am sorry about that. Welcome to my home, Alessandro,”She said and ushered him to a chair. I sat next to Andro, who was smiling instead of being nervous.Thanks to my mom already knowing he is a good guy; she is going to go easy on him.Lucky man.“So, you brought your boyfriend to me?”I scoffed.“I did too with Evans.”I reminded her.“Yeah, but it took longer than this.”Yeah, it would have taken a while to introduce Alessandro to her if he hadn’t insisted.My mom is strict when it comes to who I date; even Evans didn’t escape it.“I am glad you brought him home. I also see that being with him makes you happy. You can’t

Maeve“Mom, it’s not your fault.”I told her. They were married for nearly five years without any kids before they both decided to try other options, and that's how they adopted me.Surely, she would not have wanted any problem with the adoption.“You don’t understand, you dad would have solved the mystery if I hadn’t stopped him, and we would have found out the truth sooner.”Mom told me.“You would have gone back to your family sooner.”I didn’t like the way she said My family.“You are my family, Mom.”I told her.“I know that, and that won’t change just because you have found your other family, but I just wish I hadn’t been selfish all those years.”She told me.“Still, it’s not your fault.”I didn’t want her to blame herself for a past she couldn’t change.“You are right, it’s not my fault! It’s those people at the orphanage! They lied to us for years. I even went back after your dad died to make sure we weren’t keeping a child from her family, but they assured me that no family

Maeve“I will arrange a meeting with everyone. The little ones are going to love having older brothers.”I told my mom, who laughed and nodded.“I think so too. Tones already sees Professor Alex as his inspiration.”Yeah, he is going to love having Xander as his big brother.“He is coming home today, Harmony too.”Mom revealed.“For real? Is my timing just perfect, or did you tell them I would be home?”I asked my mom.“I didn’t say anything. Tomorrow is a public holiday.”Mom reminded me.“That’s amazing.”I let out.“Yeah, it’s amazing.”We talked some more until Melody arrived, and she literally dragged me to my room.“I think I am a boyfriend!”She told me excitedly.“Really? The one you went on a date with?”She nodded shyly.“Did you see him at the local library?”She nodded.“He said he likes me and I really like him too. He is really cute.”I didn’t know hearing my sister talk about a boy she likes would make me so happy.Melody has been so sick that everything other teenagers

Alessandro“You ladies are so loud for no reason.”I laughed as the only boy among the Fitzgerald siblings scolded his sisters.The girls were talking about Melody’s new boyfriend. I watched them talk and laugh among each other.I finally made it into their little group after we ate dinner, and their mom had to go greet a neighbour who had been at the hospital and had just returned.I saw a whole new Maeve around her younger siblings, and it made me love her even more.She was just like Nadia to me. She loves her siblings, and they clearly love her.Their mother did a good job raising them on her own after their dad passed away.“You have been single all your life, and now even Melody has gotten a boyfriend before you. I would shut up if I were you, nerd.”Harmony fired at her brother, who made a face at her.“It’s not my fault that you are not smart. Also, who said I don’t have a girlfriend?”At his words, his sisters laughed loudly.I kind of felt bad for the young man. It was three

Alessandro“What the hell is this?” Maeve let out when she saw what her sister showed her. I checked the video and it was Maeve talking to some woman and the words she was saying were pretty mean.If I didn’t know Maeve, I would have believed those words were real. The woman in question was accusing Maeve of workplace bullying which made no sense.I have seen all her workers and she wasn’t one of them.“Who is she?” I asked her.“My assistant. Maybe former since she hasn’t been coming to work. I didn’t bully her.” Maeve let out.“I know. It’s obvious this is maliciously edited to paint a narrative.” I told her.“That’s because you know me. Anyone who doesn’t know me will believe that. This did happen but it didn’t happen the way she made it out to be.” She was right, the video was nastily edited and people don’t really care to check those things, they always believe whatever they see.“Did you fire her?” I couldn’t think of a reason why the woman would think of smearing Maeve’s

Maeve“That was quick!” I looked at Harmony when she spoke. I didn’t even realize she was still in my room until she spoke.“What?” I asked her.“The video is gone from the account. I tried looking for copies but there are none. It’s like it never existed.” Harmony told me and I sighed in relief.Violet really tried to turn me into a public enemy by spreading lies and making up workplace bullying allegations.I am happy that the video left the internet fast but that doesn’t fix everything.People saw it. They may not have the video but they are still going to talk about it.With the video gone, they might start speculating. The relief I felt disappeared when I realized what could happen now that the video was gone.“I don’t know if that’s a good thing. Now people are going to be speculating.” I let out and looked at Andro who shook his head.“No one is going to speculate because we are going to set the record straight. You are going to tell your own side of the story and everythin

Maeve“She messed with the wrong person for real.”Harmony let out and laughed evilly. I wanted to laugh too, but I couldn’t because I couldn’t stop imagining what would have happened if I didn’t have Andro and my brothers.She would have posted an edited video and ruined my name forever. It would have taken a lot to clear my name, and I am sure not everyone will believe me.“I really want to meet the big brothers already; they are so cool.”Melody said excitedly, and I smiled. She was the most excited about meeting our older brothers.“Soon, guys. Very soon.”I assured them. I suddenly had a thought and reached for my phone. I created a siblings group chat and added all my siblings.“I got added to a group chat.”Harmony let out and looked in my direction. I smiled.“Me too.”“Me too.”Both Tones and Melody said. I almost burst out laughing when Andro checked his phone and saw he wasn’t added to the group.“I wasn’t added.”He complained.“Sorry, it’s a group for my siblings and me.”

Maeve “Are you happy to be going back to work?” Andro asked me as we rode to work on Wednesday after spending the whole of Tuesday with my family. “Yes! I'm really happy to go back to work even though I know I won’t be regular. I really want to be a part of the project since it means so much to Nonno so I will do my best.” I told him. My team is capable of doing everything on their own but I want to be a part of everything. More than anything, I love designing and seeing my designs come to life in people’s dream homes and business places. “I see the passion in your eyes.” I grinned. “Good luck with your meetings today.” I told him. He has a meeting with the shareholders. He told me that he plans to tell them about the team he was building to take over from him. Janelle already accepted to lead the team. “Thank you.” He told me as he pulled into the parking lot. I smiled when he reached for me as soon as he took off his seatbelt. I knew he was going to kiss me

Maeve“I can’t believe you let that bastard hit you raw!”What was she thinking? She knows he cheats. Does she know that he is on a self-destruct path?“He is not a bastard! Just because you broke up with him doesn’t mean he is suddenly a bastard! You were letting him hit you raw.”No, I wasn’t.The only man I have ever let hit me raw is Andro. I didn’t think about it before, but I must have felt safe with him from the very beginning because I didn’t mind.I didn’t even think about protection that night or any night since we have been together.While I was with Evans, even though I am always on pills due to my condition, I still didn’t sleep with him without protection.“That’s where you are wrong. I was going to marry him, but I wasn’t fucking him raw! How could you get pregnant by him? Do you really hate yourself that much?”I couldn’t fathom how she couldn’t see what I was seeing.“I don’t hate myself! I know you are just jealous! I know why you are jealous!”I stared at her as if

“You can’t fire me!”I scoffed when she yelled. “I can, and I have! It’s my company, and I hired you. Now I am firing you because you can’t do the job you are being paid to do!”I told her.“You can’t do that! I am pregnant.”She yelled as if that’s supposed to concern me.“What has that got to do with me? I don’t care if you are pregnant, Violet! You are fired!”I let out.“You can’t do that without notice!”But I can. I gave her enough grace.“Again, I can. Aside from everything else you have done, you tried to ruin my reputation! You lied about workplace bullying that never happened. Did you really expect me to let you continue working with me?”I fired at her. Even if I was a saint, which I wasn’t, I still won’t welcome her back after the stunt she pulled.“You say you are not a bully, yet here you are firing me after finding out I am going to be a mother! How can you do that? You know I need the job! Aren’t you concerned for my child?”I couldn't help but wonder why she wanted m
