***
I stare at Miguel but somehow he seemed uninterested and unaffected.
Somehow I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
we all have our bad days too.
If maybe I ever thought that one day, I would be declared dead and be in hiding for a crime I didn't commit then I would never have believed it.
I am now an orphan with no properties to my name.
I've been deprived everything that is mine and as if it's not enough, I am carrying the child of that bastard man who I thought loved me.
Life never gives us what we want, it throws stuff in our direction and gives us the choice to either pick it or leave it.
"I'm sorry Miguel" I finally manage to say after the long silence.
He shakes his head and looks on.
"I'm fine"
.
A very long silence settles over us as none of us uttered a word.
"So" grandpa began "Miguel told me you wanted to get rid of the baby"

I'll wait till she's ready. she's just dealing with a lot of trust issues so I know it'll be difficult for her to commit herself to me or anyone else.."My pizza" Genie requests and I smile."Don't tell me you forgot. I even called to remind you" she pursed her lips and folds her hands across her chest."I didn't baby. here" I say handing over the pizza to her.She grins as she carefully takes it from me."Thanks daddy I love you" she said kissing my cheeks as she runs off leaving me with her mother.I clear my throat and she looks at me rubbing both palms together nervously."Thanks for taking care of Genie" she finally manage to say and I nod making the room awkward for both of us."You

Winnie.AMBER.I placed the chrysanthemum on both their graves and so did Genie and Ivy.Miguel wrapped his arms around my waist while I comfortably placed my head on his chest as we all stayed silent.Grandpa told us Dad was buried at the same place we buried Mom.So I decided that we pay our respect since we haven't done that in a long time."Are you okay?" Miguel asked"Yeah. I feel at peace now" I replied..Later, we went home and I invited my lawyer as well as Chad.We brought some papers which I requested and I signed them transferring the house back to Chad.I also opened a trust fund for Genie and Ivy. I'd be depositing money in there from time to time to secure their future if in case anything should happen cause I wouldn't want them struggling in life.I h

Winnie.AMBER.Nothing can surpass the shock my entire being is going through right now.I couldn't stop staring at the Attorney that stood in front of me speaking gibberish.His words were already setting my body on fire. I would've cursed the weather but then I was clad in a bum short and sleeveless top so it can't be the weather.it's the fire of hatred burning inside my soul.Denisha really has some nerves I must say.And Miguel's expression isn't helping matters at all. Thank Goodness, I sent Genie to her room because I'm not sure I would be able to recognize my daughter after this."She said you're her sister and the only family she has that can help" he said and that's when I realise that this isn't a dream but reality.I scoff at that word "Sisters?"

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST***INSERT 32***.SEMIFINAL.AMBER(TWO DAYS LATER).I applied the finishing touches to my makeup and styled my hair. I wore an off the shoulder flair dress with gold heels.satisfied with my look, I picked up my clutch.I need to be at the office for an important meeting with the board.I'ts been two days already. I waited this long for the dust to settle before meeting with the staffs again.Grandpa promised to be there on time since he had something to take care of.."You look nice" Miguel compliments hugging me from behind. I smiled taking in his Cologne.I swiftly turned into his embrace."Why are you dressed? are you going somewhere" I asked"Yes" he said but I couldn't help but feel worried."Where are you going to?" I ask arching my eyebrows."You'll find out later" he said pecking my cheeks"Ok but what a

Denisha has been keeping tabs on me so if she's here the plan won't go successfully cause I have to make her sign them without reading them.."Today we mark an important day which is the coming together of two companies as partners. Myers Prestige And M.S Fashion World" Tasha announced and we all clapped."Let's not get ahead of ourselves, until we do the needful" she said and signalled her secretary to bring the papers while Maria did same, placing it on her desk in front of

I don't feel good about it" I blurt out."And why is that?'"Chad she locked me in prison, so why would she wa

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST***.Miguel parked the car and I opened the door to step out.I'm guessing Genie must be asleep.We walked into the house and it was pitch dark. I held unto the papers tightly like my life depended on it..the lights suddenly came on and we found grandpa sitting on the couch with a huge grin on his face."Grandpa" I squealed running into his arms.he stood up to embrace me."Bella" he breathed out "I've missed you""I did too""How are you grandson" he referred to Miguel who stood behind us."I've been better. how was your vacation?""great but I miss work""Have you met Genie?" I asked pulling away from the embrace"Nope not yet. I came not too long ago" he said sitting down and we sat down next to him."Where have you been?" he asked after a brief silence.I didn't respond.I gave the papers to him and he took it hesitantly. He

We were parked some metres away from Tasha's house.We came back after dropping off Genie at home."And what exactly shouldn't we be doing?""All of this" he said with a sigh and I couldn't help but feel worried too."I want you to trust me Miguel""I trust you Bella but I can't help but think about the possibilities of everything going wrong" he said with an air of finality..I inhaled slowly and took his hands in mine, squeezing gently."I know but I have to do this. I want to start executing my plan. I can't let them get away with this and for me to achieve my plan, I need those documents"He turned to look at me."But what if someone sees us?""Denisha isn't home. she left with Chad remember?"He groaned "But Tasha is in there and what if what we're going for isn't there. for a

And what will I be going for anyways if my husband doesn't want to have anything to do with me.He's never considered me as a wife and now, it's worse..My phone rang and I immediately picked it up and placed it on my ears when I saw the ID of the caller."Chad?""Mommy" I heard Ivy's voice on the other endI sigh in regret "Hey baby""Where are you?""What did da

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST***.DENISHA.I arrived at work and the first thing my eyes caught wasn't what I expected to see at all.My husband was in a conversation who the very woman who tried to frame me for what I didn't do and from the looks of it, it was really obvious that they were enjoying whatever conversation they were having.I don't know why I'm feeling jealous about a woman who's already married with a child.Maybe it's because she looks exactly like Amber or because my husband was madly in love with Amber.Whichever was the case then it's not favourable to me at all.I shook my head in disappointment.All this while, I actually thought that he misses me or would probably call me to ask how I was faring or maybe to apologize so that we could get back together but no, it's the complete opposite.I wish I could fall out of love with this guy but sadly I can't.I love him way too much to
