The warmth of his hand enveloped mine, a comforting sensation that gave me pause. As his fingers intertwined mine, a gentle pressure seemed to anchor me. The softness of his palm contrasted with the firmness of his grip, sending a shiver down my spine.
Camilla shifted her gaze and locked it onto our intertwined fingers, her lips pursed, a gentle frown tugging at the corners of her mouth.

Chapter: Chapter Fourty Four“What is it about Emily, why are you staring like that?”, Liam asked curiously.I stared into space for a moment, “Harrison really has the nerves”, I bit my teeth in anger as I spoke. Liam snatched the paper out of my hands, running his eyes through it. “This man is really crazy”, he uttered. How could he think of filing for Mia's custody after everything he has done”.“Harrison really has the nerves”, I exclaimed in dismay. “Even before Mia is well, what kind of father is he!”.“Don't worry Emily, how could he even think he can get Mia's custody, that will never happen, because I can never let him take Mia away from you”. Liam's voice laced with outrage as he spoke. “I am here for you Emily, you're not alone, and I will make sure you win this case, for that I promise”.I gazed at Liam in awe, wondering how he managed to maintain his kindness towards me, even after the hurt I had caused him in the past few days. I studied his face, searching for any sign of resentment but all I saw w

Chapter: Chapter Fourty Three“I think Mia is doing okay now, her condition is not life threatening, thank you Mia, for fighting hard”, the doctor said with a playful tone. “ Thank you so much doctor, nothing could have been possible without your help, but I have a request”, Liam spoke. “What is it Mr. Grant”.“I would like to take Mia home today, you can give me a nurse to stay over, I will cover all the bills”.“Okay Mr. Grant, as you say, let me go and complete the paperwork. I will be back in no time”.“Okay doctor, I will be waiting”.“Where do you think you're going, Emily?” Harrison said as soon as the doctor stepped out. “I am going home Sir, any problem”, I shot back. “I don't care where you go, you are not taking Mia with you”, his voice took on a sharper edge. I fiercely looked into his eyes, and smirked, as though what he just said was a joke. “Do you suffer from memory loss or what?”, I uttered. “Since when did you start loving Mia”.“Mia is my daughter, why wouldn't I love her”.I let out a low

Chapter: Chapter Fourty TwoHarrison darted his gaze back and forth at Mia and me, “uhmm, what do you mean baby”, he stammered. “Exactly what you heard, I am my mother's daughter, only her's”, Mia said firmly, without a hint of fear in her voice. “Mia”, I hurriedly called her name, urgency in my voice. She slowly shifted her gaze towards me, “What is it mummy?, am I saying anything wrong”, she proceeded. “What kind of nonsense did you feed into my daughter”, Harrison said as he slowly moved his head, gazing into my direction, “I am the one talking to you, why are you looking at her”, Mia spoke confidently. I stared at Mia with an unrelenting gaze, astonished by the courage she had at just 10 years old. Her bold and daring attitude was way more than her age. As I watched the fearlessness in her eyes, tears pricked at the corner of my eyes as I wondered how much Mia had matured, even at such a young age. “Since when did you start talking to me like that dear, look I am your father”, Harrison c

Chapter: Chapter Fourty One“Mia… Mia..!”I stammered, my heart was racing, making it hard to get my words out. “Yes mummy”, She proceeded. “Right from the time we were still with daddy, I always knew he didn't like us. But I didn't want to show it in front of you, I knew how much you indured everything for me, I couldn't shatter you by the fact that I knew anything”. As I listened to her, tears began to fall. But I was so absorbed in the moment, I couldn't wipe them away. I couldn't believe it was Mia who spilled out such thoughtful and mature words at such a young age. “Mia..!”, I murmured, as tears rolled down my cheeks. “I am a grown up woman now, please don't do anything wrong for my sake mama, especially not going back to Harrison”, her tone became more urgent as she spoke. “ Baby..! “, since when…… ?”, “Since the day I got you crying on the floor, even though you tried hiding it so well, I knew something was certainly wrong”. My gaze glued on her, my eyes fixed on her in utter disbelief. “Ba

Chapter: Chapter Fourty. A warm smile spread across Mia's face as her eyes sparkled. Her face glowed with happiness, a look of pure delight flashed across her face. “Really mummy, she said excitedly”.“ Yes baby”, I replied as I smiled widely. “He is just out, he will be here any minute, I am sure you missed him so much”.“Yes mummy I… ..!”. Mia's words were cut short by a knock on the door. We both turned our gaze towards the door, “Hello Princess…!”It was Harrison. He steadily walked closer with his arms spread wide open ready for a hug. “I missed you so much my baby”, Harrison said as he gave Mia a hug. Tears started to well up in Mia's eyes as she hugged her father, she slowly pulled back, and wiped the tears that were threatening to fall. “What is it Mia?, why are you crying?”Harrison asked as he slowly wiped Mia's tears. Mia smiled amidst her sobs. “Nothing Dad, I just missed you”, she whispered. “I am here now baby, I will never leave you again love, I promise”.Tears of joy pricked at the corner o

Chapter: Chapter Thirty NineI stood still, staring at Nora as she disappeared into space. “I am not sorry”, I whispered, trying to convince myself. “ Don't you worry about anyone else, I am right here Emily”, Harrison said as he placed his hands on my shoulder. I flinched a bit, responding to his touch. “I am okay”, I whispered barely above my sobs. Suddenly the phone rang, it was Harrison's phone. His gaze flicked over the phone, then away, as if unsure what to do. “Excuse me Emily, let me take this call”. He said as he cupped his phone over the phone, muffling the conversation as he moved away. I hesitated and then slowly sat down as if unsure. I thought back to the fact that I had chose Harrison over Liam and Nora, my best friend, and the pain I had caused her by going back to Harrison. “I am sorry Nora, Please forgive me, but I had to do this, for Mia”, I whispered to myself, as tears flowed down uncontrollably. It was a difficult decision for me but I had to do it, for Mia. I had lost Nora's trust
