Anything I say, she always supports Allysa, it's just as if I'm her in law and Allysa is her granddaughter.Jack and I walked out and got into his car,of course he didn't let me drive, claiming I could take lives in the state which I am.“So what are you gonna tell her when you get to her place?” Jack asked.“Why she never informed me she was pregnant, why she kept my child away for so many years, why she kept me in the dark.

Mom prefers natural air to the one from air conditioners or fan.It feels really good that my parents were supporting me right now, just what I wanted and I hope we're gonna make the right decision when we get there. Mom turned to stare at me, her hands enveloping mine in reassurance as I smiled. “I know you're nervous, do not worry we're gonna get to the bottom of everything and Ariel will be okay, she'll live a healthy life and our lives will go on, don't you like it?” She asked as I sighed.“It's great mom, let's just get on with it.” As our car drove into the Jackson's compound my heart began to beat rapidly.“Get a hold on yourself Allysa, I'll do the talking just sit back and relax.” Mom said, rubbing my arms gently. The door was opened by Benny and immediately we hugged each other.“Oh my ma'am Allysa, it's b

You'll receive the papers tomorrow and as for Ariel I don't intend on fighting for custody, I cannot hurt you in that manner, she deserves to be with her mother at all times, we should meet up to discuss my meeting arrangements with Ariel, I'd love that.” He stood on his feet and walked away as I fell into the arms of my mom.“He's gonna give me a divorce, mom, he's __” I whispered as granny moved towards us.“You must really love him Allysa but what about the pictures?

I didn't want anything bothering me right now so I walked into the bathroom to freshen up.As I walked out of the bathroom, a knock came through the door and I threw a robe on before walking to the door and turning the knob. “Lucas, can I come in?” Mom asked, shaking her head slightly as I sighed and made way for her to walk in.I knew what she wanted to say, she'd probably talk to me about Allysa and our divorce but my mind was already made.“So you're gonna see your daughter today?” She asked and I paused for a while before nodding. “Yeah, I'll be seeing my daughter today and we'll finalize the divorce today.”“You're really pushing through with it? Don't you think you should give her a break? Do you really think she'd do such a thing to you?”“I agree I cheated but did anyone ever think to know if I did it out of clear eyes and conscience?”“Lucas! Did you even love her? When you

How's my little princess doing?” He asked as I sighed.“She's doing okay, you're not in Italy.” I said and he laughed out.“You're smart, one of the reasons I like you and fell for you. I got into the states last night, currently staying at a glamorous hotel, where__”“Why did you come to the states?” I asked as my palms became sweaty.

A boy or a girl?” She asked.“A girl, my princess.” She smiled and led me deeper into the mall as we fished out toys, dolls from their stand. “She's going to love this, trust me.”“Thanks for your time.” I gave her my credit card and after the payment, I walked out and headed to my car.Following the address, I drove into the wide road leading to Allysa's house.I drove through the driveway and got down from the car, my heart in my mouth.

By the time I walked back in, Lucas was talking to Ariel and I wondered what they were talking about because Ariel had a huge grin on her face.“Ariel it's time to go home, unfortunately we didn't come along with your drugs so we have to leave right now before it becomes too late.”“Can't we spend the night here?” She asked, pouting her lips but I had to look away.
