Melinda turned, her heart almost racing out of her chest. She gasped as her eyes landed on the figure calling her. It was a woman… similar in height and physique, with the same dark black hair as hers, though shorter. The resemblance was striking, almost like staring at her reflection.

“Mother…”

The words escaped her lips like a shaky whisper. Her legs trembled under her. This was a woman she had mourned, a woman she thought was dead! The mother she hadn't seen since she was five years old. There she was, standing right in front of her. It felt like she had seen a ghost.

For a brief moment, it felt like time had come to a halt. They just stared at each other, lips slightly opened but no words to describe the moment or say anything at all. Tears gathered in Irene’s eyes, glowing like delicate jewels as they dropped.

She stared at her little girl, now a woman, alive and healthy. A wave of relief and guilt washed over her. This was a child she had to leave in the care of child protecti

    Ethan turned off the shower with a quick twist, water dripping down from his hair as he faced Amelia. “Amelia, what is it?” he growled, his voice echoing off the bathroom tiles, low and controlled as he tried to suppress his rising anger. Amelia stood there unbothered, her face broadened by a wide smile, stretching the bandage on her forehead. “Baby, which would you prefer? Pancakes, shrimp, or bacon? I'm thinking of making pancakes with scrambled eggs but I don't know… would you prefer pancakes with bacon or shrimp and grits with Andouille sausage?” She replied, her tone bright and cheerful as if she didn't barge in on him taking a shower. Her legs and hands moved dramatically as she spoke, her eagerness engulfing the entire space.Silence fell, only the sound of drops of water from the shower was disrupting the silence. Ethan stared at her, his jaw tightening as he processed the drama unfolding before him. Then, with a quiet sigh, he responded, “Go to the room, I'm coming…”Ame

    “Yes Boss!” Liam’s voice echoed from the kitchen as he rushed out, his steps hurried and anxious.“Where were you when she was cooking this… this abomination?!” Ethan roared, his voice vibrating across the dining room into the parlor as his eyes were fiercely on Liam.“S-sir… I was preparing smoked salmon with poached eggs when she walked into the kitchen, demanding to make your meal for you. I tried to explain to her that it was my duty to make your meals but she insisted, Sir.” Liam stuttered, his hands twisted behind his back, as his head slightly bowed.“I'm very sorry for the inconvenience Sir.” He continued, his hand gripping the other tightly, and his head still lowered slightly in compliance.Etjan’s eyes shifted to Amelia as he stared down at her. She stood beside him, trembling as she sobbed.“B-baby… I’m so sorry, let me make something else for you please, don't be upset…” she stammered.“Make what?!...” Ethan snapped. “Do you even know how to prepare anything meal at all?

    “Melinda… There’s nothing I’d say to you now that will make you feel better. Sometimes, I wish I could turn back the hands of time and make better decisions…” She paused, her eyes on Melinda, while Melinda’s gaze was still distant, her expression unreadable.“I and your father didn't just decide to leave you and run away… We did that because we were scared. His ex wanted to kill us all,” Irene continued.Melinda’s eyes shifted to Irene as she stared at her in disbelief. It felt like a bad joke.Irene continued, “His ex was my best friend, Sarah, who came from a powerful, wealthy family. She was obsessed with your father, but her family didn't approve of him… He wasn't “worthy,” they said, so she married another man. Unfortunately, her heart was still with him.” “Eventually we fell in love with each other and kept it a secret from Sarah for many years, hiding it like thieves. When you eventually came into the picture, your father got tired of hiding. He believed Sarah had moved on, so

    Irene paused, her eyes fixed on Melinda as she struggled to find the right words. Her voice trembled, stumbling over words until she finally found the right words to say. “I r-returned back b-because…” She paused and adjusted herself, holding Melinda’s hands tightly. Her grip was warm yet unsteady, betraying the calm she desperately tried to show.“I came back because I needed to be close to you. Yes, I assumed you were probably dead but this city… It’s where I last saw you. I had to come back… to feel close to you.”She took a deep breath, her eyes dropping briefly before returning to Melinda again. “Then Sarah… the bitch is bedridden. God has helped me to punish her for all her sins, she’s now too weak to even pursue me. When I found out about her condition, I knew it was time… I had to come back.”Melinda studied her mum’s face, her expression reading skepticism. There was something about Irene’s story that felt off. The words seemed rehearsed, and her emotions felt overly calcula

    Silence fell on the room, dense and stifling. Deborah stared at the open space as her thoughts raced, and Amelia’s gaze stayed fixed on her, waiting and trying to figure out what her mother would say.Deborah’s fingers unconsciously traced the shape of her jawline, her face hardening with uncertainty. “You're right,” she said calmly with conviction. “Let's just see how this goes…. If Ethan keeps being a stubborn goat, we will have no choice. She needs to be taken out of the picture.”Amelia’s lips widened with a sinister grin, her eyes sparkling with malice. “Yes!” she spat, her tone filled with spite. “I can't wait to take that bitch out… permanently!”Her voice was cold, devoid of any regret. She gradually shifted her gaze to the mirror in front of her, her thoughts already scheming. The two women sat in silence, their shared grudge choking the room as they stared ahead, united in their evil plans.——The door creaked as it opened and Melinda entered her parlor. On entering, a fou

    “Hi, Ryan,” Melinda replied, her voice was flat and filled with scorn. She walked into the office, her eyes focused on the woman sitting at the office desk. “Hello, please I’m here to see Ryan. Can I borrow him for a minute?”“And you are?” The woman asked as she raised her eyebrow, curiosity written all over her face. A brief silence filled the air and then Ryan and Melinda blurted out almost at the same time,“He lives with me,”“She’s my ex-wife,”They both gave themselves a hard, cold stare before returning to the woman who was looking at them with so much confusion. Finally, the woman waved her hand dismissively, “Whatever… I’m done with him anyway.”Without saying a word, Ryan and Melinda walked out of the office, the tension between them thick. They walked down the staircase in silence, only the soft thug of their footsteps making a sound.Melinda paused at the bottom of the staircase and looked at the chair in the waiting room, contemplating whether they sat there or not but

    Melinda gasped as Ethan’s intense eyes locked on her, the undeniable chemistry between them electric. Their lips met again, filled with longing and speed. Ethan’s hands explored her thighs, then moved to her back, unzipping her dress when suddenly, the door swung open.Lila stormed in, her voice sharp and demanding, “Ethan, why aren't you picking up your calls?! The entire board members and shareholders are waiting for you in the conference hall.”Her gaze was all over the place, and then it landed on the two of them, her expression hardening as she saw them. “So this is what you're doing? In the office, really Ethan?! And your investors are waiting for you downstairs!”Ethan simply rolled his eyes, unbothered, while Melinda hopped down from the office desk, her cheeks burning with embarrassment. Lila gave Melinda a venomous stare, her words soaked in cruelty,“This is the work you came here to do right? Being a whore!”“That’s enough Lila,” Ethan cut in immediately, his voice low and

    “Where the fuck are you?! Aren't you supposed to be here to make my dinner before I leave for work?!” Ryan’s angry voice echoed through the phone. “Melinda’s heart skipped, a familiar knot of anxiety twisting in her stomach. “I’m so sorry baby. I completely lost track of time. I'm on my way home now, just give me a few minutes.” She quickly gathered her things and left the office, hoping Ryan wasn't too upset. Melinda rushed through the front door, apologizing as she slammed the door closed. “Baby please don't get upset, I was so engrossed in work that I completely forgot I had to make you launch before you left for work,” she pleaded as she kept her handbag on the parlor table. The room went silent, the only sound being the voices of people talking on the TV. Ryan was on the couch, staring at the TV screen as he gulped his beer. For a few moments, he remained quiet and still. Then he spoke. “You must think you've made it now huh? You're the first person to get a promotion righ

    Then Ethan broke the silence., his tone harsh and sharp, seeking clarification.“Excuse me?… Coming to stay with me because?…” His face twisted, revealing a blend of confusion and growing rage.“Because your carelessness put her in that condition! You owe her that much Ethan!… My daughter, my only daughter!… What if she didn't survive huh?!” Deborah replied instantly, her voice rising like thunder, her eyes burning with anger as she pointed an accusing finger on Ethan.Ethan’s eyebrows twisted as his patience began to run out. “Hold on… your daughter came to my place… on her own accord. I didn't invite her nor did I cause her to slip and fall. So how's this a result of my carelessness?”“Besides, I thought she left at the time I told her to leave. How was I supposed to know she'll go hide in my kitchen to attack my guest after I left!” Ethan snapped, his voice escalating with each statement as his irritation boiled over.“That’s not the issue here!
