The Next DayThe sound of heels clicking sharply against the marble floor could be heard all through Hale conglomerates. The very same sound all the employees were very much aware of.Heads turned in almost every direction as the glass doors opened, revealing a woman who could command attention without uttering a single word.Victoria Hale.She was elegance personified, draped in a perfectly tailored ivory dress that clung in all the right places. A string of pearls rested on her neck, her makeup pristine, not a hair out of place in her sleek updo. She looked like a queen descending into her kingdom.All the employees rose immediately, bowing their heads with respectful greetings.“Chairwoman Hale, welcome.”Victoria barely acknowledged them, her sharp eyes scanning the lobby as if searching for prey. Her painted lips curled in disdain when she failed to find the person she was looking for.“Chairwoman my ass. Where’s that ungrateful son of mine?” She demanded, her voice echoing thro

A Few Minutes AgoThe Montclair MansionThe first rays of sunlight were already piercing through the curtains when Caleb’s phone suddenly buzzed on the dining table.He glanced at the screen and saw it was Drew.Without hesitation, he answered the call and placed the phone on loud speaker.“Speak.” His voice was cold and clipped. He had spent the last few days thinking about Ashley and his little baby girl. And the thought that another man was already her life, playing the role of her father pissed him off more than he could put into words.“It’s about Miss Ashley, sir,” Drew’s voice ranged out, snapping him out of his thoughts.Caleb frowned. “What about her?”There was a slight pause before Drew spoke again. “I just received news from my men. Mrs Ashley was involved in an accident.”Caleb shot to his feet at once. “What…?” His voice came out in a whisper, “what happened?”Drew hesitated for a moment before answering. “I don’t know all the details yet, sir. But from what I’ve gather

Ashley’s body jerked violently against the bed as Vanessa pressed the pillow down with all her strength, trying to suffocate her. Her hair was messy, her eyes bloodshot as though she hadn’t slept properly in days.The monitor beeped erratically as Ashley’s body kept struggling despite being trapped in a coma.“Why couldn’t you just stay dead, you bitch?” Vanessa screamed, her voice dripping with venom as she pressed down even harder.“I should have put you in your place a long time ago. If I had done so, I would still be married to Caleb now and we’d still be having our happily ever after.” Tears rolled down her cheeks as she spoke.“Just die, you bitch, die!” She screamed like a madwoman and gritted her teeth as she kept pressing down with every fiber of her being.Just as Ashley’s body was beginning to go limp, the ward door burst open and in came Jamal and Vicky.The moment Jamal saw what was happening, he instantly ran to Vanessa. He held her by the collar before tossing her acros

Jamal was still pacing back and forth outside the ward when the door finally opened and Doctor Williams stepped out, with the nurse following close behind.Jamal rushed to him immediately. “How’s she Doc?” He asked anxiously.“Relax, Mr. Hale, Miss Ashley is fine now.”“I can’t say for certain what happened, but my best guess is that the shock from the attack somehow stimulated her brain and triggered her to regain consciousness. Her vitals are stable and there doesn’t appear to be any signs of danger.”“Are… are you sure?”The Doctor nodded with a warm smile.Jamal had no idea when he started smiling. “Can I see her?”“Sure, she wants to see you too.”“Thanks, Doc.” Jamal said, then made his way inside the ward.Raphael smiled as he watched him disappear inside before bringing out his phone and dialing Vicky to tell her the good news.Meanwhile inside the room, Jamal couldn’t help the big smile playing on his face when he saw Ashley. She was lying on her back but the bed was raised a

Two Weeks Later“Gosh, I can’t stop watching Jamal interact with Sophie. He’s so sweet and patient with her.” Vicky said, smiling from ear to ear as she joined Ashley on the balcony, watching as Jamal interacted with Sophie in the garden below.“Yeah. I think I finally understand why Sophie likes him so much. It’s almost like they’re father and daughter. If I wasn’t her mother, I’d have believed they were father and daughter.” Ashley replied, smiling as well.Two weeks had passed since she had been discharged from the hospital, and now she was finally beginning to feel like herself again.The physical wounds had faded, the deep gash on her temple had healed into a thin silver line, and the bruises mottling her ribs had softened and vanished.During her recovery, Jamal hovered around her like a shadow, always there to check up on her and Sophie, to take care of her needs, or reminder to take her medication. That simple gesture had made her fall deeply in love with him even more. Far mo
