Chapter 71 ANNIKA Let’s not talk about the weekend. Or you know what? Let's talk about the weekend. Movie night every Friday was invented by me. Isaiah was a devoted father but he was proud. He rarely took help from his family, mostly because during the time, his mum was still on the ‘I told you that woman was no good for you. She is a snake and your daughter looks like her’ level. He loves Sophie, but he mostly had no woman to help him, and he was clueless. Having raised my siblings with my mum, taking care of Sophie was a breeze. Isaiah and I spent more time at the mansion than in the office. It got to a stage where I had a spare room in his mansion where I had my clothes, bags, cosmetics, and deodorants, and extra laptops and files because I was sort of practically living in the house. It was… Well, one of the reasons my relationship failed. Sophie needed attention and presence. And we provided that. We made traditions. And one of them was Friday movie night. When Sophie was gr

Chapter 73 ANNIKA “You are not going!” Mabel was the first to bark, she leaned closer into the phone and so did the rest of the girls. “But…” “No buts!” Lulu fired. “What if she is trying to set you up? Inviting you to a hotel when you are not even close enough to have tea together? I say this is fishy.” “Lulu is right. You and Mirabel are not close enough to visit each other in private hotels. It doesn’t seem safe.” Mabel added. Chloe was silent, simply watching, “Chloe, you agree, right?” Lulu asked. Chloe exhaled, “Annika, why do you think she wants you to come?” She asked, her tone was surprisingly subtle and warm. “Sis!” Lulu barked. Lulu and Chloe are only a year apart. But Lulu still gives Chloe the respect she deserves and they are super close. They are polar opposites but still agree often. “Lulu, calm down, I just want to hear what Annika thinks,” Chloe said. Honestly, I don’t know what to think, that was the reason why I called them in the first place but after li

Chapter 75 ISAIAH “Man, calling me at 11pm to drink with you is diabolical, I have a wife and we are in the process of making a kid. Don’t rub your misfortunes on me.” Jerald grumbled as he stepped into the private room. After talking to Sophie, my mind was all over the place, I couldn't stay in my house and I didn't want to go to Annika’s so I called the boys. I called one of the managers of my hotel, asking him to private one of the private VVIP lounges and fill it with two buckets of cold whiskey and three glasses. I arrived first, fell into the chair and poured myself the first glass. “And yet you are here. Are you sure you don’t love me more than you love your wife?” I teased, sipping my whiskey while glaring at him through the little opening. He halted, his eyes darkened, “I’m leaving.” he snarled, turning around in that moment. “Come on, it was a joke. You already abandoned me for three months after your wedding to prove to me that you love your wife more so just sit.” I

Chapter 77 MIRABEL Ha! Ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha. I pressed my hands against my belly as I laughed so hard that it hurt. I felt tears rolling down my cheeks as I continued to laugh, over and over and over and over until I felt the blood boil in my veins, till the point that they hurt and I let out a scream. I threw the glass of wine in my hands against the wall, and I threw the pillow on the couch next to me against the wall. I screamed so loud, I could feel my ears burst. The more I recalled what that bitch said, the more pissed off I got. My fist clenched so hard as the words played over and over and over in my head. Who the hell does she think she is! Who the hell does she think she is to tell me what to do? What? I should mend his broken heart?She dared tell me no? She dares to lecture me? Does she not know who I am? I am Mirabel, an A-list actress, directors bow to me, producers bow to me, my fans worship me… I am a god! She is nothing but a slave but she dared open her mout

Chapter 79 ANNIKA “This week, we have a total of seven big events across the country. One of our Villas was reserved for the president of India. The hotel in Turkey has officially begun filming for the Turkish series and the first episode aired two nights ago. Our hotel seems to be at the top of the search on every platform. The governor of Manila Philippines is visiting one of our hotels and would be there for two weeks ——” The meeting went on and on and all I could think about was what had happened this morning. Mirabel is putting me in my place and deciding she knew best for Sophie. When Isaiah came downstairs, Mirabel pretended that nothing had happened and took Sophie to school. I had gone through Sophie’s pictures from before Mirabel came back. And I have studied every part of it. Did she look Obese? Isaiah and I always made sure to limit her sugar because of cavities. She had her once-in-three-months full-body checkup. All her juice is naturally produced. Even though we l
