Father loved his brothers, I hate to be the reason he will discover the hate in them. I know how much it would hurt him. But what can I do now, I can’t run away from it anymore.

I froze in my steps, a quick swipe on my face with the back of my palm to wipe off any trace of my tears that could have remained.“There you are! Welcome home my daughter!!” She squeaked like a teenage girl in love.“How was first day at work? It was stressful right?” She made a face as if she could understand my situation. But of course she wouldn’t even if she tried. I wouldn’t have been bothered about work stress if my heart wasn’t feeling this way...would I?“Is anything wrong, my darling?” She asked.“Urh, no, of course not. I am just a little...tired.” I shook my head, cleverly masking my sad face with a forced smile.“Urh-oh, I see. Work must have been quite stressful. How about you get some wash up and come have dinner?”I nodded. Not like I would have refused and told her to get lost, anyways.“Good. Who is there?!” She called out to the servants. Two ladies came running.“Help h

His name and pictures are all over the media. He is at a risk of losing his position in the group but he chose to come here instead,” Jack sneered.

No matter how mad you must have been about what I did, I knew you loved me and still…”Lawrence jerked off her body. The fact that she was still disillusioned irritated him. She reached forward and grabbed his hands. Tears clouded her eyes. “You know, everything I did was because I loved you. I couldn't bear to live without you.

I did but I never imagined my heart feeling this wrenched. I stared at Lawrence. He was up on his feet looking at the window almost restlessly. What was going on in his head?I wondered why he never told me he found out the child wasn't his. Was he ever going to tell me if this didn't happen?Perhaps he never would have. Perhaps he had gotten comfortable with his ex-girlfriend while I was away. I felt my throat dry and ended up swallowing hard, burning my throat in the process. “Sir, the reporters are headed here. They have gotten a wind of your residence,”Jessie announced. Lawrence let out a frustrated sigh. “We have to leave now.
