Tears burnt Daisy’s eyes.“You can’t have it both way Adrian. You shot me and now you want to leave me? That is not fair.”“I will let my lawyer talk to you.”“What was the reason for shooting me if at the end you knew you were still going to divorce me?”Adrian laughed. “Are you listening to yourself?”“I will retract the statements if you just admit to what you did. I’m not crazy.”“I don’t want you retracting anything. Speak your truth.”“I am sorry. I am sorry for hurting you the way I did. Can you come and see me? Please.”“That is not going to happen. You have a baby to focus on, your boyfriend is in town so you two are getting what you want which is the divorce. I am not going to fight with you. You will get what is yours. You were patient with me and supported me as I chased after my dream, I see no reason why you don’t deserve to benefit from it.”“I will end the relationship.”“And what? Make me a step father? One that never has his own kids because you took that away from u

A Month Later…Adrian watched as his mother put the bandage on his wound breathing slowly and tensely incase she pressed too hard. Helena finished up and looked at him.“You can breathe now.”He sighed then put on his vest before picking the shirt she had ironed. “How long do you plan on staying this side?”“Uhu? Do you want me to go?”“That’s not what I said. I was just asking. Shouldn’t you be trying to fix your marriage?”“Some things are not fixable. You of all people know that.”Adrian buttoned his shirt staring at her. “Why were you sleeping with David? After everything he did, why?”“I…” She took a deep breath in. “When the kids died, Flynn was angry. We moved to the farm but he would spend the least time with me. One day I spoke to your father, he was apologizing as usual and passing his condolences. After that call I got in my car for a drive and I found myself in Suncity at the house. I don’t know how, it just happened and for those 20 minutes I forgot everything else.”“So

In Adrian’s office, Adrian stared at Sara.“So you want close to 2 million? For one child?”“Take it or leave it,” Sara shrugged. “Pregnancy is not as simple as you imagine. I’m putting my life on hold for this. My business, my plans, my goals for the year, and all of that get slowed down. The 500K is for the disruption. The million is for the job. The car? That’s my push present.”“I don’t think pregnancy is simple, but the money you are asking for is a little unreasonable. You know that you are just putting me in a corner because you know it is you I want.”She took a deep breath in. “You are still married. I stand a chance of being sued or having the reputation I have built for myself tarnished. Take it or leave it. I am sure there is someone way cheaper out there. Someone as naïve as I was when you and your wife first met me. someone who is comfortable with 150k.”“Can we open this for negotiation? I want us to go to Capetown on Friday and discuss it further. Maybe then, we will r

In the boardroom, Daisy stared at Adrian's lawyer in silence while her lawyer sat beside her. She also looked up from her laptop and stared at her. Daisy returned as the door opened then Adrian walked in. He had gained a little weight which was surprising for someone who was unwell. He sat down at the head chair.“I apologize for the delay, we can get started.”She looked at Daisy then her lawyer.“We have worked on a way to equally divide the properties.” She pushed the document to the lawyer.“This excludes the company as it was never a part of the marriage as per the agreement Mrs Vale signed. It also excludes any shares my client has in different other companies. We have made sure to exclude the house which her mother stays in but is in her name.”Daisy looked at the document with her lawyer who looked at Queen.“We thought, given the duration of the marriage and Mrs. Vale’s contributions to the household, that she would be entitled to a small portion of the company shares as we

Adrian looked at her, Daisy’s tears rolled down. He looked at the fear glazed with pain in her eyes. Her hands shook uncontrollably.“I didn’t do whatever you are convinced I did. I have no reason to hurt you. You are causing a scene, security will be here any moment to throw you out when you could have just asked me to help you with whatever it is.”More of her tears rolled down. “Mama is dead. She was found dead and my daughter is gone. She’s all I have. You can take back what you gave me. I just want my child.”“I don’t know anything about your daughter. It wasn’t me. But I can contact people who can help with the search. Have you spoken to the father?”Daisy blinked. She sniffed and moved back. “He wanted to go back with her. I told him no..”“What if he took her? I’m not saying he did, I’m just asking? How did that conversation end?”“He is angry.”“Ok. How about we track him down? If he took her our best bet would be finding him. Is there anyone you can possibly think would want
