Susan was furious. Joey was trying to bring up her shameful past in front of Jacob, and the way she was going about it was full of mockery and insult. Joey's own mom, who doubled as Susan's stepmother had drugged her, and then when she became unconscious, sent her to the hotel where the disgusting man who was now the father of her kids had broken her innocence while she was not even aware of what was going on with her. How ruthless. How could she be able to tell Jacob that sort of story of her life? Of course not. She was not going to do that.

''What is she talking about, Susan?'' Jacob asked. The more Joey hinted at the reason Susan ran away to a foreign country, the more curious Jacob became.

''Please dear, let's just continue to eat in peace. There's nothing to know'' Susan told Jacob calmly. She was determined to maintain a smooth relationship with him. If she dared to talk about her nasty experience, she was not sure how Jacob would react.

    Susan opened her eyes and tried to shield them away from the beaming ray of sunlight that somehow found its way into the room she was in through a tiny crack in the open window. She felt an intense pain while she sat up, holding her back and taking a look around her. 'Where the hell am I?' she muttered while she took in the features of the room. It was chaotic. Clothes were scattered all over the place, her clothes. She suddenly realized that she was naked as well, in an unknown place that was enclosed? that didn't look good at all, and as any young lady would, she started to worry about what she felt was obvious that had happened to her. She had been raped, but by who? No matter how hard she tried to remember what had gone down the previous night, she just could not come up with anything. She had passed out, someone must have drugged her or something of that nature because she was a hundred per cent sure she didn't book a hotel room anywhere in the city, she didn't even have the fi

    'For crying out loud, whose kids are these?' A couple of women in their early twenties wondered while they stared at Susan's twins aboard their flight to the United States. 'It's offensive to take pictures of them, what if their mom finds out? It's creepy, come on, stop it' one of the young women said to the friend of hers that was taking photos of Susan's Kid's.It had been five years ago since Susan fled the country after the mysterious event that happened to her at the hotel. Now, she was returning with her four-year-old twins, a boy and a girl named Michael and Judy respectfully. These kids of hers had come to be as a result of the one-night stand incident that made her flee the country. Susan's kids were adorable. Her son, Michael, had a plain blue short-sleeved shirt on, tucked into black chinos trousers and a denim jean jacket on top. His sleek blonde hair rested on his shoulder, stretching his face out to buttress his streamlined eyes. 'Cat eyes' Michael was usually referred

    The intensity of the unpleasant memories that Susan had come back to America to meet made her head feel light. She almost collapsed as a result of how suddenly her head spun. Looking at her kids while they waited for their luggage, she remembered how she so desperately wanted to have an abortion when she discovered that she was pregnant. 'I can't do this for you, Miss, I'm sorry. You'd destroy your womb, and the possibility of you ever having kids again will be minimal because of your unique health pattern. Just bear the pain of having them, children are never a loss my dear...' the doctor advised her, and so Michael and Judy were born. Susan could not help but observe how all eyes were on her children.'Do these kids belong to any celebrity out there, or what?' an onlooker thought out loud while she stared at Michael and Judy the twins. It was not new for the kids to have strangers intrude on them like that, so they didn't pay too much attention to the lady.'I swear, they have to

    'Mhhm' Susan huffed when she saw Joey's face on a massive billboard while she was en route to her aunt's house from the airport.'Pure girl indeed' She yelped and briefly laughed out loud. That was the slogan that the brand Joey was advertising on behalf of chose to call her.Michael glanced at his mom and made a face that seemed to ask what the drama was about.'Mom you are always in another world' the wise Michael said innocently and continued to look out the window, taking in the splendour of the new country he was in. Susan looked at him with lovable eyes. His advanced gimmick always took her by surprise. Anytime Susan felt that Michael had reached his elastic limit in blowing her away with his magnificence, he would strike again with something else that would only raise the bar.Thinking back to Joey, Susan realized that she had not heard anything about her throughout the five years that she spent out of the United States. She had completely forgotten about Joey. Susan wasn't sur

    'Hello Richie' Joey cooed at the abrasive man that sat behind the expensive desk. 'Do me the honour of being my guest at my birthday dinner, please?' she informed President Williams.'What?' the egocentric man asked her in a humdrum tone without lifting his eyes from the work he currently had his attention on. As if he didn't hear what she said the first time. 'Today is my birthday, I have a dinner party later at...' Joey was saying when the man interrupted her. 'Happy birthday Joey, but I am not showing up for your party' he replied abruptly. Joey was silent, waiting for him to state the reason for his decision, and he did when he felt she had stalled her own reply, or abrupt exit from his office long enough.'I have a lot on my plate, there's too much to do to be attending any parties' he said in a cold, harsh tone that sent a chill through Joey's spine.Joey could not understand why Richard would not ever bring himself to accommodate her into his reality the way she wanted.

    Susan was taken aback by the number of onlookers that were at her dad's house.'What in Jupiter's name is going on here?' she muttered, the closer she got to her former house. 'I LOVE YOU JENNY CALANDA' one of the spectators yelled into the air passionately. Susan made a confused face. Who the hell was Jenny Calanda, and what was he or she doing at her house, receiving cheering from strangers? It was not until she got close enough, that she realized that her dad's house was the venue for some sort of red carpet event. There were a lot of celebrities flashing heavy smiles toward the paparazzi, and lots of cameras took several hundred shots per second at these said celebrities. 'Excuse me' Susan said confidently while she tried to pave way for herself through the clustered crowd that blocked the entrance of the house.'Hey, not so fast woman, where the hell do you think you are going?' one of the onlookers dared question Susan, blocking her off from continuing her manoeuvre towards t

    'Stop pulling me as that' Susan barked at Joey, forcing her wrist free of Joey's grip while they advanced towards the garden, away from the crowd of other celebrities that had graced the event.'Did you hear that today was my birthday and I was having a celebration, so you came to ruin it?' Joey asked Susan angrily. Eyeing her with contempt. Susan's dressing irked Joey a lot, she was indeed distraught.'You didn't have to show up looking like this, you look like a damn pauper' she added. 'I don't care what you say, or think of me. I just want my mother's items, and then I'd leave your so-called event' Susan replied in a cold tone, eyeing the entire area with a nasty glance to match Joey's sting. She was hurt. Years had passed and Joey couldn't even be nice to her, at least for the first time she had seen her in four years. She called her a pauper. How nice of Joey, but Susan didn't expect any better from her. As unpopular as Joey was while they were growing up, she still managed to b

The closer Richard Williams approached them, the more fire burned in Joey's belly, to enable her to say all the nasty things she could think of to Susan.'You are a bastard. Sorry to break your sorry ass bubble, but my dad told me about you when he was drunk one night. He told me this grave secret. You are a wanderer, a wild pig without anyone out there to own up to bringing your sorry ass into this world. So when I tell you that you are below my maid and that you can't even clean my bathroom, you should know that what I'm talking about is for real. You are way beneath me, Susan' Joey barked, her eyes looking towards Richard Williams from time to time while he approached them.

    Susan arrived at the Beathrow Restaurant a couple of minutes later. A lot of luxury cars were lined up from side to side, protecting a limousine that stood in its grace and beauty between the cars that guarded it.A tall and handsome man with legs that were as long as stilts stepped out of the car. His face shone brightly as the sun and all heads were turned toward his direction because of the grace and aura he carried. However, these lurking eyes could not behold the stern gaze that the cold and emotionless man returned at them. He oozed arrogance and pomposity, so much so that no one could walk in the same space with him. His presence and appearance definitely felt like a shame to any other men that were not on his level and status.A proud Richard Williams led his bodyguards into the reserved elevator section of the Beathrow restaurant.While he was in the elevator, his jaw clenched and unclenched in nervousness, anxiety, and a bit of anger at the fact that he knew Susan was in tha

    ''Keep an eye out on them for me. And always call or come back to tell me what is going on, okay?''Richard ordered his bodyguards to man the district where his kids lived with their mother, Susan, and their aunt, Mabel.After what Michael revealed in the car on their way to the district they lived in, Richard could not leave without making sure that he appointed guards to watch over them. If Richard came to hear at any time that his kids were missing, he was sure going to lose his mind. So he acted hurriedly.As expected, Richard did not drive himself home. He sat behind the car and let his thoughts wander away, thinking about his children.''Are you okay, Susan?'' Aunt Mabel asked when Susan entered the house with the kids and shut the door behind her. Susan quickly walked over to the window and appeared to be worried while she peeped outside.''What's going on outside, what are you looking at?'' Aunt Mabel asked.''Mummy is looking at our daddy's car'' Michael the mischievous one r

    ''Exactly Michael. You know how unsafe it is to have all these mean-looking men glaring at you angrily, so it is better that you stay away from him. Don't go close to him because only mean people move around with these mean men'' Susan told her inquisitive son.Richard's face immediately got distorted after Susan made this unwholly remark. He was upset because he knew that Michael had taken his mother seriously after she made such a comment about him.''My dear boy, I have to move around with them so that I can be safe and get to wherever I am headed, quickly. Don't mind your mom, I'm not a bad person. Okay?'' Richard asked Michael. Michael completely agreed with his dad on this one.''It is true mom. Daddy is right. If we have the mean-looking men with us, you won't have to be afraid that anyone wants to take Judy and I away, you know that you are always afraid of it happening.'' Michael told his mother, Susan.''What did you say?'' Richard barked suddenly at Michael. He slowed down

    Judy woke up uncomfortable. She smacked her cheeks urgently as if something was itching her. Maybe Richard's excessive kisses on her face caused her such discomfort.''What?'' Richard asked urgently when Judy's face started to distort. It seemed as if she wanted to cry. He got up in a haste, feeling that Judy had grown tired of the position that he held her in, and started to rock her back to sleep while he held her in his arms, gently cooing her back to dreamland, but Judy woke up. Her eyelashes fluttered open, and her large eyes blinked in front of Richard's face.When Richard looked into her eyes, he saw that they were so pure. Like the sky on a bright sunny day, they shone and gleamed at him, blinking gently and trying to get used to the environment that they were faced with.''Mummy...'' Judy cooed as soon as she got a complete hold of her senses.''It's me, Judy, it's Daddy that's here with you now'' Richard told her.''No, I want mummy now. Not you, mummy. I want mummy''. Judy

    ''Richard wants to see you''. Susan told the butler when she found him outside the living room, staring in the direction of the ocean.''Take her to look for the boy'' Richard ordered, and soon enough, the butler and Susan were on their way to fetch Michael from wherever he was. They drove in a cart across the expanse of the beach, scheming through the foot of the mountain and past the forest. Susan heaved a deep sigh. This was the definition of wealth. She quickly snapped back to the moment when she realized that she was having pleasant thoughts concerning something that had to do with Richard. Nothing could ever make her see Richard in a pleasant light. The son of a bitch that was trying to take her kids from her, never!The butler took her to a massive toy room, and there she found Michael. He was lost in another world. Focused, yet his face flushed with excitement while he swam in the abundance of toys that graced him in that room.He was in the company of Richard's assistant, who

    It was impossible to get Judy to sleep if she was not being cuddled. Susan would usually do the most for Judy, just to appease her to fall asleep, yet this man had easily sent her to dreamland effortlessly.Susan could not explain how upset she was. She could feel it in her bowel. Her insides twisted and turned in pain at the thought of this recent development. She stepped out of the bathroom and got dressed, only for her to see that Judy was still in Richard's arms. The look on his face spoke of contentment. He was fine by himself, sitting on a couch and staring into space while Judy slept peacefully on his shoulder. Susan had hardly ever seen her this peaceful. She wished that she could snatch her daughter away from Richard at once. She felt irked to the core.''Shhh...'' Richard hushed Susan when she suddenly appeared in front of him, looking as if she wanted to continue with her ranting from where she stopped.''Don't make a sound'' he added. Susan was taken aback by the way Richa

    Susan was not trying to commit suicide actually. She was embarrassed at the ugliness that her tears and flu had caused on her face. She had been crying her eyes out, literally. When she entered the ocean, she could easily give the excuse that her eyes were swollen because of the seawater, and sand that had made their way into her eyes.While she was trying to step out after succeeding in rinsing her face in the ocean, she felt his arms grab her waist. Richard grabbed her and pulled her out of the water, and she stumbled into his embrace.''You want to commit suicide just because I found my kids?'' Richard asked her. As far as he was concerned, she wanted to take her life for such a trivial reason.''Excuse me?'' Susan replied, clearing her throat violently of the water that had forced its way into her mouth and nose. Suicide? I was not trying to commit suicide''. She replied. If it were possible, Susan wanted to live for another one thousand years.''Get your dirty hands off me. Leave

    ''Mummy, where are you going?'' Judy asked when she turned around because she heard her mom's footsteps leaving the space that they were in. Judy had almost slept off on Richard's shoulder with that damn hug, and Richard was ready to stay there for as long as Judy deemed fit.''I'm going to take a walk'' Susan replied. Tears! Tears of defeat had filled her eyes, and she did not want Judy nor Richard to see them, so she did not turn back to look at them.''Are you sure mummy? If you are going back home, I will go back home with you'' Judy cooed. Finally, she had come back to her senses. She was afraid that Susan would leave her there with Richard, and never come back to pick her up again. It bothered her a great deal.Judy was only interested in Richard's cake and nothing else. Of course, she wanted to stay with her mother in the long run, not Richard.''Mummy, wait...'' Judy said while she started trying to break free from Richard's grip.
