'Fraternal Twin?'A wave of disbelief washed over Hayley as she struggled to grasp Clara's revelation. What did she even mean by that? Adrian had a twin? This was news to her. How could she have been unaware of this? Adrian had never mentioned having a sibling. What was going on?Her mind raced, filled with a torrent of unanswered questions, while tears streamed down her face. "W-what? I don’t understand," Hayley stammered, her gaze searching Clara's for clarity.Clara scoffed, amusement dancing in her eyes as she shook her head. "I bet you didn't see this coming... You should leave now, Nina. Just go. No one wants you here. Return to your ex. The nerve you have to show up after what you’ve done."More tears flowed down Hayley’s cheeks as she absorbed Clara's harsh remarks. She attempted to respond, "I-I’m sorry," but Clara cut her off."Just go. Go!" Clara insisted. Yet, Hayley hesitated; she couldn’t bring herself to leave in such a state.Suddenly, their moment was disrupted when a
His concentration was disrupted by the ringtone of his phone. With one glance at the screen, anxiety washed over Leonardo as he saw the caller ID.It was his sister, Laura. The young lady never called Leonardo unless she had something important to discuss. What could be the problem? Leonardo knew he couldn't handle family matters and Hayley's situation at the same time so he resolved to ignore the first call. However, Laura's calls remained persistent and she refused to back down until she was answered by him.Exasperated, he accepted the call and greeted her, trying to keep his tone steady despite his frustration. "Hello, Laura? How are you?"He immediately noticed her uneven, strained breaths, heightening his unease as she hesitated before responding."Brother... It’s Mom, Mom, and Grandpa."Leonardo's heart raced, his brow furrowing as he sensed Laura's distress. "What’s wrong? What’s happened to them?" he demanded, concern lacing his voice.Laura's voice trembled, tears evident as
"Mi reina, are you sure you're going to be alright?" Leonardo worriedly asked Hayley as he sat beside her on the king-sized bed in his room. He added, his hand resting on her hair affectionately. "I won't leave if you don't want me to." Hayley's weakened eyes wandered to his, and she gently grasped his hand by her face. "I'll be fine, Leonardo. I promise,""Are you sure, baby? I'd prefer it if you came along with me to Clasold City. I don't know what I'd do if history repeated itself. I'm worried for your safety..." He replied anxiously, referring to what had transpired at the hospital two days ago.Leonardo had raged two days prior when he saw the bruises on Hayley's face, inflicted by Adrian's sister, Cassidy. He had wanted to press charges and throw her in jail, but Hayley begged him not to. Despite his several attempts to make them pay for what they did to Hayley, Hayley refused to let him carry out any actions as she was acutely aware it would only escalate things. Leonardo didn'
Hayley continued staring at the device in her hand, still reeling from the surprise that it was her best friend who had finally decided to reach out after months of anticipating her call_Emily. Hayley glanced around her surroundings before quickly scurrying inside with Daisy as her phone continued to ring, her insides bubbling with excitement. Once inside the house, Daisy released herself from her mother's hold and scampered away as Hayley made to answer the call.She let out a heavy sigh, waves of excitement and elation washing over her as she finally accepted it, speaking into the device almost immediately. "Oh my goodness, Em. Finally! Where the hell have you been? How are you?" Hayley asked eagerly, settling in the plush sofa in the living room. A smile was etched across her face as she held the phone against her ear, anticipating Emily's response. With the same enthusiasm, Emily reciprocated Hayley's greetings. "Hayley, babes. I'm good, how are you? You have no idea how much I'
"W- what?" Hayley exclaimed in disbelief, still reeling from the shocking revelation. She blinked severally, grappling with the reality of the news. Her heart clenched and unclenched at nothing as she confronted Leonardo's alleged betrayal. What Emily had just revealed to her somehow made sense. What if that were the truth? Had Leonardo been deceiving all this while? Why did he lie about Lilian? What the fuck was going on? Hayley's mind raced with these conflicting thoughts. She wracked her brain for answers but couldn't find any. In no time, an emotion began to stir within her_ Anger!As if sensing her thoughts, Emily started again with a question, drawing Hayley back into the conversation. "So what's it going to be, Hayley? Still want to invest in your relationship with that liar, manipulator and cheat, or you want to seek your revenge against him? Tell me!"**Alison Forbes walked past the hospital entrance, heading towards Adrian's ward. She felt downtrodden as she approached the r
"Straight to the hospital, Scott. I need to be there ASAP," Leonardo ordered his aid after getting into the back seat. He had just arrived at the airport in Clasold City."Sure, boss." Toni Scott nodded eagerly as he started the ignition, revving the car to life.As they made their way out of the lot, Leonardo felt an unsettling emotion stir within him as he contemplated the situation at hand. Both his mother and grandfather were ill and in the hospital. He couldn't help but ask."Toni, what really happened to Grandpa and Mother? Should I be worried?" Toni's gaze focused on the road, he replied. "About Grandpa, yes boss. But Mother, not really. She's fine now."Leonardo's brows creased in confusion. "Huh? What do you mean?" "No offense, boss but I think Mother just wanted you to come back home." He chuckled softly afterward.A sudden realization dawned on Leonardo and he shook his head in disbelief. "My goodness, that woman." He scoffed, referring to Dana. She would do anything just
Hayley remained in bed that morning, her mind swirling with the tumult of recent events. From Adrian's accident to Leonardo's alleged betrayal, she struggled to understand why everything seemed to converge upon her at once. Was she destined to endure a life of misery, or was this merely another challenging chapter in her journey? Hayley couldn't help but question herself as the weight of her emotional turmoil pressed heavily on her chest.Wiping away the tears that had tricked down her face, Hayley took a shaky breath, attempting to quell her anxieties. Despite her anger towards Leonardo, she couldn't shake the longing she felt for him, particularly recalling the text he had sent two days prior. In it, he informed her of his arrival in Clasold City and also expressed his feelings for her. She knew he must be worried, as she had neither responded to his messages nor answered any of his calls. Hayley was caught in a whirlwind of pain and confusion, grappling with feelings of betrayal.
As they made their way to the airport a few minutes later, Hayley's thoughts remained a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Despite her efforts to mask her anxiety with a forced smile, she was uncertain whether she was doing a great job.Daisy, on the other hand, was brimming with excitement, completely unaware of her mother's inner struggles. She eagerly anticipated meeting her Aunt Em, having heard countless fascinating stories about her from Hayley. Although Daisy had never met Emily, she was thrilled to learn about her kind and genial nature. She was aware of her status as her mother's best friend. She also couldn't help but wonder if Emily also had a child her age, just like Clara did.Turning away from the car window, Daisy looked at her mother and asked, "Mommy, are we there yet?"At the sound of her daughter's tender voice, Hayley’s heart fluttered, pulling her back from her racing thoughts. She offered a gentle smile and shook her head slightly. "Almost there, baby. Are you re
