***EASTON'S POV***

I stared at the documents in my hand as I flipped through it, everything was just as Kyle had said over the phone.

I couldn't make out an excuse for Nicole. I mean as much as I tried to believe this was a misunderstanding, I just couldn't come up with a possible reason she may have had to do this.

“I don't get it. If she needed help for her father, why didn't she just come to me?” I asked even though I knew Kyle wouldn't respond.

We were seated at the vip section in an exquisite restaurant as I wanted our meeting to be private.

“The real question here is where did all those funds come from?” Kyle asked and I furrowed my brows at him.

I don't remember Nicole having any job. Come to think of it, I was the one who told her not to bother getting a job.

After our graduation, I remembered Nicole telling me about her plans to get a modelling job but I convinced her otherwise, knowing how unfair the modelling industries could be to those without much connections.

    ***EASTON'S POV***I stared in amusement at Alfred as he ruthlessly devoured the Popsicle in minutes. I had taken him to a Cafe after sending a text to Mirabella to inform her of his whereabouts. I wasn't sure if the school had contacted her yet but I didn't want her to panic when they did.“I see you have a sweet tooth.” I said to him with a chuckle and he gave me a small smile while glancing around.“Is mommy coming to pick me up?” He asked and I bobbed my head.“She'll come soon enough.” I responded.“Thank you for the popsicles, Mr. Grey.” Alfred said with a bright smile.“Do you want anything else? Juice, cake or any snacks at all? There's a vending machine with nice flavored peanuts.” I said as I pointed at the machine but Alfred shook his head immediately.“No peanuts or any nuts. I'm allergic.” He stated and I furrowed my brows.“You are?” I asked with a slight frown and he nodded.“I got really sick the last time I had it and mommy cried so much because of me. I don't like it

    ***MIRABELLA'S POV***I groaned as I left the courthouse. This was the third hearing I had attended and unlike the other two cases I won, this one got shifted for a second hearing.“You did well, Ma'am.” Lola said with a reassuring smile. “Do I have any other appointments for the day?” I asked and she scrolled through her iPad before shaking her head.“None for today. Your next appointment is a meeting with the President of Delta Grey.” Lola stated and I bobbed my head.I decided to head back to the office and sort out the remaining documents on my desk. “Your phone, ma'am.” Lola said with a smile as she handed it over to me. I always put my phone on DND and hand it over to Lola whenever I attended court cases.“Thank you.” I said with a smile as we got to my car. I turned off the DND and frowned when I noticed I had several missed calls and a text message from Easton.I ignored the message and checked my call log instead. My eyes widened when I saw there were several missed calls

    ***EASTON'S POV***“Mr. Grey, the meeting is about to start.” Emma announced and I gave her a slight nod. I took a final glance at my phone, letting out a sigh before turning off the screen, putting it in my pocket and then leaving my office.I got to the conference room and walked in, greeted by the faces of the board members. I walked up to the end of the long conference table, taking my seat, my eyes scanning the room until my gaze locked with a pair of crystal blue eyes.I stared at Mirabella, scanning her outfit from top to waist as the table had blocked her lower view. She had on a sea blue suit with a white button up shirt underneath the coat, and her hair was tied up in a tight ponytail. She had put on light makeup - as if she even needed to, she looked gorgeous with or without it, even though the cherry red lipstick added more color to her plum lips, making them look more tempting.I let out a sigh as I hesitantly tore my gaze from her gorgeous self, turning towards the board

    ***MIRABELLA'S POV*** “How about this one? You'll definitely turn heads with this.” Lola beamed as she brought out yet another designer dress for me to try on. “I already have beautiful dresses at home, Lola. Why must you torture me like this?” I groaned as I held onto Alfred like he was my shield. “Mrs. Brookwood specifically ordered that you get a new dress.” Lola said while staring at me with pleading eyes as though begging me to cooperate so she could keep her job. “Fine.” I groaned and reluctantly took the dress, walking into the fitting room to try it on. It was a custom-made, emerald green, velvet evening gown featuring a fitted, mermaid silhouette, plunging curved V-neckline, dramatic flared train, and intricate beading. I pulled the curtain open when I had tried on the dress and Lola's jaw dropped. Even Alfred looked shocked, his expression a mix of pride and admiration. I smiled at him, knowing exactly what was going through his mind. “My mommy looks like a g

    ***EASTON'S POV***I couldn't describe my feelings at that moment, I had a mix of emotions. I was happy, happy that I had a son, that Alfred was mine, but the fact that Mirabella had kept him hidden from me for five years, I missed out on five birthdays, five Christmas together with my son, five Halloween, five years of bonding with my son, getting to know the things he liked, his favorite color, his favorite dish. Knowing I had missed all these memorable moments, I felt a pang of pain in my chest.“Did you hate me so much that you had to keep my son away from me? Was this your way of punishing me for my mistakes? Say something, Mirabella.” I said, my voice leveled but my heart was thudding hard and I had to dip my hands into my pocket so Mirabella didn't notice how they were trembling.“What do you want me to say, Easton?” Came Mirabella's cold response. She crumpled the paper into her hand and turned to me with a blank expression.“What was your plan? Were you going to hide my son f

    ***MIRABELLA'S POV***I could feel Easton's gaze on me the entire night and I made sure not to glance his way one bit. I could feel my hands trembling underneath the table and I tried to hide it. The DNA result sheet was still crumpled in my hand, and my heart thudded violently against my chest.I felt Roman's hand on mine and flinched, snapping my gaze at him, and he stared at me with a worried expression.“Mirabella, you're shaking. What's wrong?” Roman asked worriedly and I realized he had sensed my uneasiness.I forced a smile on my lips and shook my head. I couldn't say anything here, not with Alfred present. “I'm fine, just a little cold.” I lied and Roman swiftly pulled off his coat and wrapped it around my shoulders before returning to his seat. “Thank you.” I said with a faint smile as I held onto his coat.It felt as though someone was trying to burn holes into the coat and I couldn't help but glance up, my gaze locking with Easton's as he stared, no, glared at the coat.

I hated her!I knew I had to act now or I might lose Easton forever. I quickly set the table, making sure everything was in order. I had invited Easton to try and talk things out with him. He has been cold and distant with me for a while now and I feared the next time he would talk to me might be to break up with me.I didn't fail to notice the way he looked at Mirabella and that kid of hers. I still couldn't believe they had a son together and I had overheard their entire conversation. Easton wanted to raise the kid with Mirabella, what would that mean for me?! I was actually surprised when Mirabella turned him down but Easton had made it clear he wouldn't give up on her. My time was running out and I won't waste any time again.I heard the doorbell go off and quickly adjusted my hair, and dress, making

    ***MIRABELLA'S POV***The conference door got pulled open and Easton walked in rather hastily. He was a few minutes late for the first time and he looked a bit disheveled, making me wonder if he was sick or something.“Sorry, I'm late. We can now begin the meeting.” He said when he had settled down. Our eyes locked at that moment but I quickly looked away.The meeting commenced shortly after and I couldn't help but notice Easton's uneasiness. He seemed absentminded for most of briefing sessions and as much as I tried to ignore it, I couldn't help but worry.The meeting ended an hour later, mostly because Easton had dismissed everyone earlier than normal.Okay, something is different wrong.I waited until everyone had left and walked up to him. He had his face slightly covered with his hand and when I gently tapped his shoulder, he jolted a bit, as though he weren't expecting anyone else to be in the hall.“Easton, are you alright?” I asked, my gaze intent on his face.“Are you worried

    ~SANDY~I felt my palms getting wet as I was called out onto the podium to give my speech.I had imagined this day since the first day I got into Ousen University, and now it was finally here but now, I felt really anxious. What if I said the wrong things, what if I slipped while climbing onto the podium and fell?Why were my thoughts suddenly so wicked?I should be confident in myself. I came this far, I survived all the hardship, all the challenges and the best part of it all, was that among the audience, my family and everyone I loved was present.Uncle Roman, my grandparents Lionel and Lucia, my granddaughter Martha, my adoptive parents Easton and Mirabella, my sister Kiara, my best friends Hailey and Gabriel, my new friends Natasha and Danzel, my Aunt Paulina and her children, and lastly, the love of my life, Alfred Grey.They were all present, and cheering me on.

    ~DANZEL~I groaned as I heard the loud banging on the door to my room. “Danzel, don't you have a morning shift or something today? Why are you still in bed?” I heard Jeffery's voice yapping nonstop and I finally pulled myself out of the bed.I just wanted to sleep in today. I didn't feel like going anywhere but the problem is I haven't felt like going out ever since Hailey left here that night.I felt so stupid for hurting her. She didn't deserve it. She didn't deserve someone like me, she deserved better.She had genuinely made herself vulnerable by telling me how she felt and I coldly shattered her heart. I let her down real hard and it has haunted me every night and day.“Dude what the hell? Are you sick or something? You haven't left the house for a week now.” Jeffery asked worriedly as I finally let him into my room.“I'm fine, I just need a little rest.” I responded but he didn't seem convinced.“You said that yesterday and every other day before. What's going on with you?”I s

    ~HAILEY~“You got everything?” Mom asked as I zipped up my box, ready to leave.“Yes, I think.” I responded, my gaze scrutinizing the room to be certain I wasn't forgetting anything.When I was certain I had it all, I pulled my luggage downstairs. Sandy and Kiara were both waiting for me.Kiara was celebrating her nineteenth birthday this weekend and I decided to spend the week with them since we were on a school break as well.“Don't worry, Mrs. Jordan, we will take good care of her.” Sandy reassured my mom and I chuckled softly.“I trust you will. Have fun sweetheart.” Mom said as I hugged her goodbye.“I'll call you the moment we arrive.” I said and she nodded in response, giving us the green light to leave.The ride back to New York was a rather quiet one, until Kiara broke the silence.“So no one is going to say anything? Come on, tell me how it went!” Kiara beamed and I pressed my lips into a thin line.I wish I had never confessed to Danzel but at the same time, I had no regret

    ~HAILEY~ I opened the door, letting Sandy and Kiara in. They wanted to meet my mom before they headed back. Funny how five minutes after refusing to come with them, I had changed my mind and agreed to it.I wanted to spend more time with Sandy and school break was around the corner, so maybe I could leave then, and come back on resumption.“This is my first time being in your house in Pennsylvania. We mostly met up at your apartment next to school or you would come see me.” Sandy pointed out and I slowly bobbed my head.She's been talking nonstop about things we used to do and things we never did. I could see that she was making a lot of efforts to get me to remember, but even my mom couldn't make that happen.I guess I was the one slowly blocking my memories or something. I thought I would miraculously remember once I met Sandy, but even Sandy seemed strange to me at some point, while another, she was familiar.“My mom should be home shortly. Do you need anything while you wait?” I

    ~HAILEY~ Sandy's eyes teared up the moment I called out her name and she immediately rushed towards me, engulfing me in a tight hug. “Hailey! My God it's you!” She cried out and I found myself crying as well. I could feel her love for me radiating through her every being. Just like my mom, I didn't have to remember her to know that she was truly an important part of my life. She was my best friend, and I'm certain she was also like a sister to me. “I have missed you so much!” She pulled out of the hug, her gaze scrutinizing me from top to bottom. I suddenly felt a light smack on my shoulder and turned to the side to see the blue eyed lady glaring daggers at me. “How could you?! How could you ghost us like that?! How could you abandon Sandy like that?! Did your friendship mean so little to you?! Did we mean so little to you?!” She kept on ranting and I felt a bit overwhelmed with confusion. “You vanished without a warning. Did you know how worried we all were?” She asked but I

    ~HAILEY~ What the hell was I thinking?! What in the world made me think I could juggle working and studying at the same time?! I swear I would faint if I got there one more time. I barely had time to do anything, and to think I've only been there for a week! “Hailey, come help me off load the new stocks.” Charity, my work colleague called out and I let out a heavy sigh. I couldn't remember the last time I had a goodnight's rest. My weekdays were taken by school and my weekends were taken by work! Even Sundays weren't any exception. “You can quit now before it's too late.” Danzel's words to me on my second day echoed in my mind. I hated that he was so certain I couldn't handle the work. I wanted to prove him wrong, but at this moment, I think I wouldn't mind raising my white flag. “Have you been sleeping well? You have visible eyebags.” Charity pointed out and I let out a frustrated groan as we restocked the shelves with the new products. Today was Saturday, and since I didn't

    ~HAILEY~ The moment my name left his lips, I felt my pent up anger melting away instantly. I mean who cares if he ghosted me, that smile was more than enough to make me forget it all. “Danny!” My happiness was short lived the moment a blonde haired lady ran up to him and engulfed him in a tight hug. “We missed you at the party. I'm hosting another this weekend though. Do you think you can make it?” She asked but all the while, Danzel's gaze was fixated on me, and I found myself not being able to look away. At first I wanted to murder the blondy with my gaze but seeing how Danzel didn't even reciprocate her hug, it reassured me that she wasn't his girlfriend. “I didn't know you attended Bucknell. What a coincidence.” Danzel said to me, his expression blank but his gaze still held mine. I eventually gave up and looked away. Something about the way he stared at me always made me feel weak in the knees. “I didn't know you were an engineering student as well. I guess you're multi ta

    ~HAILEY~ “There you go. All done.” The nurse at the clinic said as she finished wrapping the bandage under my feet. “How long will I stay like this?” I frowned as I stared at my legs. Just when I was finally getting back on my feet, now I will be forced to go back to wheelchair until it's all healed up. “I would say about two weeks. Thankfully the cut wasn't so deep so it shouldn't take too long to heal up.” The nurse responded with a smile and I let out a sigh. “What were you thinking, Hailey? Why would you step on broken glass pieces like that?” Mom scolded. I lowered my gaze. I had no idea what happened. The only thing on my mind was the memory flash I had. Why was I on that bus? Why did only I survive out of everyone on that bus? While I was being wheeled to the clinic, I had done a little digging from the phone on the accident. That's how I found out about everything. Everyone else in that bus had died. “Hailey, are you listening?” Mom's voice pulled me out of my though
