Adopting Mine Novels & Stories

I asked, looking at him, surprised. "Yes. We can adopt a baby and take care of it at a young age. This child wouldn't be our biological child but would still be legally our child. It doesn't matter if this would serve to prove to my friends that I'm sterile or that I don't have enough potency to generally have a child or those sexist comments they make; there's still nothing shameful about adopting a baby,” he said. “It’s not shameful, love. It's even honorable; we were going to save a life,” I said, all emotional, and he caressed my cheek, smiling.

“That doesn’t give you the right to take me!” “Right?” His laugh was bitter, broken. “I built an empire on taking what I wanted because no one was going to give it to me. I clawed my way out of hell because I refused to accept that I deserved to stay there. Rights are for people who have the luxury of asking politely.” “So you just… take?

My grandfather and father have never forgotten their roots. This deal will not only prolong the life of the mine by infusing money in the cash strapped company, but the rough diamonds from the mine will be sorted and graded here in Angola at a sorting facility funded by Lopes Corporation. This will produce hundreds of jobs for Angolans. I’m sure you see this as a fantastic deal, not only for you but for your citizens as well.”

“You aren't the type to adopt me out of the goodness of your heart or because of an old debt to my dad.” Marco pauses for a moment, like he's deciding if I'm worth explaining his reasoning to. “You're right that your late father being my consigliere isn't the only reason I'm adopting you. I need a daughter for the sake of a marriage alliance with another family.” “A marriage alliance?” I ask. He doesn't seem to hear me and instead looks at me like he's appraising an antique. “The nuns did quite a bit of damage, but you're still acceptable as far as appearances go.”

He even picked out my burial site and gave me a proper send-off. So in this life, I sought him out early and painstakingly worked my way closer step by step. I wasn't about to let a good man like him slip away this time. Luckily, fate had been kind. I married Kristan and gained a devoted son without any pain. Now, I had money, power, and a happy family. And life would only get better from here.

“ He didn't get the love from his parents, your grandparents. He told me how he was treated like he was an adopted child. I know how that feels cause I was an orphan, my parents were killed when I was younger ” “ I lived alone, no friends, no family, just a lonely young giant until one day I met Alan. I was wandering by the river of lost souls thinking if I could back my parents back. The worst part was that my mother was eight months pregnant, just one more month to go and I'll have a little sister but she was killed ” “ While I was wandering at the river side, I didn't notice that someone else was watching me unknowingly until the person talked behind me and I almost slipped and fall into
