PARISI lost my balance and fell on my back but the person who had pulled me back, took the hit as I landed on his body.I heard a painful groan as he freed his hold on me. I rolled to the side, so he could get up but unfortunately, struck my head against a stone and began to bleed from the head.The last thing I saw before I blacked out was the silhouette of a much older man as he stood in front of me and tried to get me up.I opened my eyes to the smell of disinfectant. I looked around the room and struggled to adjust to the light, I was in a hospital room. My head had been bandaged and beside me sat a man whom I later found out was in his early fifties.He smiled at me, causing me to become alarmed since people were usually not nice to me. I tried to get up but it all came back to me; the betrayal and humiliation I had suffered at the hands of Brad Stanton.I suddenly remembered the man beside me as the person who stopped me from jumping over a bridge. My heart was in a lot of pain
PARISONE WEEK LATERLike a dream, my life suddenly turned around. I still could not believe I had gotten a new father and mother. I stayed at the hospital during the time they worked out my adoption papers.I was skeptical about everything at first, but then I wondered; what did I have to lose? I was someone who had already given up on life and almost committed suicide. What could be worse than that?I had also looked up my new family and most of what I had heard from them was what I saw on the internet. Mrs. Lawson was very sweet and kind. She visited me every day and made sure I ate and slept properly while at the hospital.The doctor explained my health condition and Mrs. Lawson assured me that everything would be fine. As I was being driven home, I looked at both of them from the back where I sat and wondered; how could such kind people exist?When we arrived at their mansion, they led me into the house. I was surprised to see a small crowd, waiting to welcome me into their famil
PRESENT TIME( Seven Years Later)Paris opened her eyes when the sound of her alarm rang into her ears. Her nephew, Reign had gotten married to the love of his life the previous day.Everyone in the family had been so happy, including her. She had stayed out late, drinking and celebrating with them before they finally called it a night.Her driver had taken her back home and she had immediately gone to bed. After waking up, her head ached from drinking so much but she knew she had to get ready for work.Lawson Corporation had just landed a billion-dollar contract. A small but important part of the project needed to be executed by a different company since it wasn't their specialty.BRITTS; a small company that started out years ago as a rival company had qualified to handle a small part of the project and the presentation was to take place that morning.As the CEO of Lawson Corporation, she was expected to be present while the manager of BRITTS gave his presentation because she had the
PARISI went back to my seat, and stared at the plaque on my table, "Paris Lawson," my name was boldly written in capital letters. I smiled as I stared at it for a while. I paged my secretary afterward and she came in immediately."You called for me, ma'am.""Push all my meetings to tomorrow, Linda, I'm going home, I need to rest my head.""Okay, ma'am," Linda replied and left my office.I called my driver and asked him to get the car ready.On my way out of the company, I got a call from my sister, Paige."Hey, Paris," Paige's sweet voice rang from the other side when I answered the call.I couldn't help but smile as I replied, "Big sis, I was about to call you, are you home? I'd like to stop by for a bit, there's something I need to share with you.""How about we meet at home?" She suggested. "I'd like to say hi to mom and dad."I immediately agreed, and she said, "See you in a bit."After the call ended, I walked into my private elevator and got on it. When I got down, I walked pas
BRADI got ready the next morning, I was all pumped up, ready to make a good impression on Ms. Lawson.I drove to Lawson Corporation after having my breakfast. I hurriedly took the elevator because I didn't want to be late, and went into the room the presentation was to be held.As I walked in, I stared at all the executives present and my eyes landed on Ms. Lawson. She wore a red dress today and was looking so beautiful. Her dark hair was tied into a knot and she had a Jade necklace on and a gold bracelet around her wrist. Her head was lowered as she read from a file.Her lashes were dark and long, and she had a perfect, pointed nose. Her soft lips were painted in bold red and her skin shone brightly. I suddenly felt like running my palms on her smooth face. "Amazing!" If I was asked to describe her in one word, it would be "Amazing."I was still caught up in my own world when one of the executives cleared his throat and I came back to my senses. I briefly bowed and greeted them all
Brad called, Nick, and said, "Hey, how about we have that drink right now?""Okay," Nick replied. "I just got into the house now and will be stepping out in a bit, let's meet at our favorite bar."About thirty minutes later, Nick stared at Brad and asked, "What's going on? Why do you look so worried?" Brad sighed, "It's something that has to do with my past.""Okay, I'm all ears," Nick urged him to go on. He sighed again, "Well, you do remember how I told you I found Miss. Paris Lawson familiar, right?" "Oh, come on, don't go down that road again," Nick replied. "No, no, just listen to what I have to say. Well, after she gave our company the contract today, I was so excited.But then I remembered something that happened in the past. There was this girl... when I was in high school, she was very fat and people picked on her.I had some nasty friends, and I was nasty myself, so I made a bet.My friends were doubting me and I bet some money that I was going to have sex with her withi
Brad's eyes widened in surprise when Linda told him that Paris was ready to see him.He could not believe his persistence was paying off."Really?" He asked. "She's really going to see me?" "Yes, she'll see you now, you can go in," Linda replied."Thank you," he said to Linda.The moment he got into her office, Paris stood up, folded her arms, and asked, "What do you want from me, Brad Stanton? Why do you keep hounding me?""I... I'm sorry about that," he replied. Seeing how aggressive she sounded made him feel uncomfortable."I... I.. I just want to know," he stuttered."You want to know what?" She asked."I want to know the truth.""The truth about what?" She asked."I want to know if you're Paris Noah. I mean, the resemblance is striking and if you're Paris Noah, you must remember me from high school. You do remember me, right?""Yes, I was Paris Noah, but I am Paris Lawson now. Paris Noah died and gave birth to Paris Lawson. I have moved on from the past, I'm a different person n
The next day, Brad paced up and down in his office as he thought about what to do. He had been thoroughly embarrassed at Paris' office the previous day, and he knew the news would have spread everywhere. He wished he could just stay away from her, but he could not help himself.He had not been able to get any sleep last night, and he kept thinking about her face and smile and everything that happened between them in the past.He didn't even know why he was suddenly so attracted to Paris, that his desire to see her had become stronger than anything else.At this time, Nick walked into the office. He put his hands in his pocket and asked, "What is wrong with you, Brad? I'm very sure we had a conversation about what you ought and ought not to do.I told you to lay low until we get the contract signed and the cheque sent by Lawson Corporation.Why would you try to blow that away? Do you know what you did? I mean, news of how you were humiliated and kicked out of the Lawson Corporation is
MIRANDA The expression on the faces of everyone turned into shock. Seeing that I looked serious, the lady at the counter said, "Calm down, Ma'am. I will call Mr. Duke right away and inform him."At this point, a man walked up to the counter. From the way he was dressed and the way all the employees at the counter greeted him respectfully, I could tell he was a prominent figure.One of the employees picked up a card from a bunch on the counter and handed it to the man, saying, "Here's an invitation to the boss' launch party tonight. It's mandatory to show up with the invitation, sir."The man smiled and accepted the invitation card, saying, "Thank you, I will surely be at the party."As the man turned and began to walk away, I stared at the heap of cards and thought, "So that arrogant man is throwing a party, huh? I wonder how he would react if I gate crashed it. Would he send me back home just as I want?"I suddenly became excited as I thought about what I could do at the party."I'm
MIRANDA My so called husband stared at me in shock and scoffed, "What effrontery!""Sammy, what are you still doing? Throw this piece of trash out of my house before I lose it."I rolled my eyes, "As if I want to be here! You must be crazy upstairs, which explains why you can't speak without raising your voice, old man. Pick on someone your own size and news flash, I would be more than happy to leave this place."A few other domestic staff had arrived at this point and they were all staring in surprise. The man looked at me in shock as though he could not believe I was speaking to him.He began to approach me and at this point, one of the domestic staff ran and stood in front of me. She seemed a little older than me and was beautiful too.Sammy tried to speak to him but he pushed him away. I folded my arms, feeling so happy that he wanted me gone. When he got close to me, the girl in front refused to budge. The man stared at her in surprise and it made me wonder who she was."Who the
MIRANDA I had no idea what was going on there but seeing the look on the faces of my family members, I got an uncomfortable feeling. The woman was about to speak, possibly to explain whatever the hell was going on, however, I did not give her the time to do so.I couldn't go through the back because my mum was right behind me, so, I passed the woman and bolted out the door. I stood outside briefly, and came up with an idea; rather than to Collins, I would run to my cousin's for the time being, until I understood what was going on. I heard footsteps behind me and began to run without looking back."Please, don't abandon us when we need you the most," I heard a familiar voice and stopped.My mom walked up to me and turned me so I could face her. Tears kept falling from her eyes as she cried, "Please, Mira. Go with the woman and do whatever she says. This is the only thing I have ever asked of you.""That's a lie, mom," I replied. "You've asked me to do a lot of things over the years. T
MIRANDA I stared at Collins' departing figure and thought, "You'll change your mind once I get back, Collins."I continued running to the road to get a cab. I could not stop worrying that something had happened to my dad. My mom didn't seem like the patient when I heard her voice earlier. My elder brother, Sean, was strong and athletic so it could not be him also. This left me with my dad who had poor health from smoking when he was young and becoming hypertensive after we lost my sister. Once I got to the front of my house, I saw my mum pacing up and down. She stared at me in shock when she saw the way I was dressed. I had initially left through the back and planned to return through it because I wasn't allowed to wear such skimpy clothes and with good reason."Why are you dressed like a prostitute?" She asked angrily as she grabbed my arm and tried to wipe off the makeup on my face. She completely ruined it but that was the least of my problems."Mom, what happened?" I asked anxiou
MIRANDAI stared at my reflection in the mirror and nodded in approval. I looked really sexy in the short, black dress I had on. There was no way Collins would not go crazy if he saw me looking so hot.He had been my boyfriend for three years in high school and now we were both in our first year in the same college. However, he sent a breakup text to me last night.I couldn't find him all day in school but I learned about the party that would take place in his house. Even though I wasn't invited, I intended to gatecrash the party and give him the one thing he had been asking for.My constant refusal over the years was the same reason why he broke up with me but I loved him too much to let him go. If having sex with him was what I had to do to keep him, then I was getting laid tonight. I arrived at Collins' house a few minutes past six and saw that the party was in full swing. His family was well-to-do, so hosting a party such as that was a piece of cake for him, especially when his pa

LISAI reached out my hand in the morning to touch Adam but he wasn't on the bed. I opened my eyes and realized I was alone in the room.I sat up and smiled. I knew that Adam would be excited about the news I wanted to give him. From the moment I found out that there was a little life growing inside of me, I had been ecstatic and dying to tell him.However, I decided to give it a month and it was finally time. Since a month ago when Adam and I officially became a couple, he had been nothing short of sweet. He was the best man in the world and the one thing I wanted more than anything else was to spend the rest of my life with him.Our relationship had been drama-free and I couldn't be more grateful for that. At first, I feared that Clay had something up his sleeves, considering how much he used to hate Adam.Surprisingly, he had really made peace and now occasionally called to make light conversations with Adam. It made everyone happy, especially their Granny.I was even more grateful
ADAMAfter Lisa left, life felt boring. Reading her letter had been extremely excruciating, especially because I knew that my Granny had gotten to her.I couldn't even get upset with my Granny. I loved her too much, and I knew that she did what she did because she felt it was best for the family.I so badly wanted to talk to Lisa, to hear her voice even once, but I had to respect her wishes. It was the only way I could convince her that I really loved her.In the days that followed, I was forced to get along with Clay, who also seemed to have become very sad. At some point, I wondered if he genuinely loved Lisa, or if he was just upset that he did not have something to use against me anymore.Thanks to our Granny, we were forced to eat breakfast, lunch, and even dinner together. Each time we tried to miss anyone, she would suddenly become sick and create a scene. We knew her health wasn't too good, so we had to play along. I was upset with Clay, but a part of me still tried to forgiv
LISAI sat by the pool, feeling sad as I stared at the water.I was waiting for Clay's Granny, who had told me that she wanted to have a word with me.I was surprised by how Clay suddenly reacted. I thought I knew him. Even in the short time I met him, I didn't think he could be so selfish. I was so disappointed in him. But I was very happy, too, that Adam was not willing to give me up.For a moment there, I had been scared. As I listened to their conversation, I had thought that Adam would give in to his Granny's request, but he stood his ground. It meant he really loved me. His Granny soon arrived, and I smiled at her.She sat beside me and said, "Lisa, to be very honest, I have nothing against you. I've always been an open-minded person and I've always said that regardless of the girls my grandsons bring, I would give my blessings for them to get married because I want them to be happy.However, I want my grandsons to be at peace with each other, I want them to be happy and united
