Surprised by Mikel's unexpected presence, I questioned, "Mikel?" holding back my shock. Had I known he was still in town, I wouldn't have felt so tense, considering Gary had seen him as a father figure. “I just wanted to surprise you.” He pouted, staring at me as I squinted my eyes."Why can't you take a hint?" I scolded, my voice playful but edged with irritation as I crossed my arms. "I've told you, I'm not a fan of surprises. Why do you insist on testing my patience?”He gave me a knowing wink, his eyes sparkling with humor, as he presented the chocolate cookies like a gift from the heavens.My irritation dissipated like morning dew, a laugh bubbling up from my chest."Well, in that case," I conceded, sweeping the cookies from his hands and popping one into my mouth."Oh no," I gasped, suddenly remembering the presence of my client. "Mr. Benson is here, and
Emily Pov"Gary, could you please bring me my phone?" I asked as my son dashed into the kitchen, clutching the phone tightly and handing it to me.I smiled, ruffling his hair. “Mom, can I have one of your cupcakes today?” he asked eagerly. I gave him a nod, causing him to run out in delight.It had been five years, yet the pain still felt raw. The memory of being ostracized and kicked out of my parent's home lingered like an open wound.I remembered the shock when they suggested I blame my ex for the pregnancy.“Take this opportunity to show him you still care,” my mom suggested, leaving me speechless.At that moment, I struggled to see her as my mother. How could a mother ever propose such a hurtful thing?I became sad and frustrated as everything turned against me. My whole world came crumbling at my feet. I gathered my remaining pieces and fled out of the country. The journey to self-discovery was a dangerous, stormy path, scattered with the broken fragments of my dreams, the bi
Emily Pov “You can't live here!” My father’s voice echoed as he maintained a straight face. “What!” I gasped in disbelief at him as I stumbled backward, his words piercing through my soul. "You heard correctly. You cannot stay here. I cannot have my daughter, known for marrying billionaire Alexander Bennett, causing scandal," my mother's angry voice echoed. "Have you considered the consequences?" she asked. "You cannot disgrace us," she added, leaving me stunned. Weren't mothers supposed to protect their children? Where was her compassion? I wondered. "We are family," I said, my voice quivering, on the edge of breaking, as tears threatened to spill. But I held firm. I already swore I'd shed no more tears this time.I had clung to the hope, the belief that as my family, they would never let me end up on the streets. Desperation and vulnerability colored my gaze as I looked at my parents and sister.Yet, none of them could meet my eyes."You just made us miss out on our chances
Emily PovAs I slowly opened my eyes, I surveyed my surroundings. The last memory I had was a painful argument over divorce papers with my husband. My heart still ached at the thought of his insistence on ending our marriage."Ms. Sebastian, you're finally awake." An unfamiliar voice reached my ears, prompting me to turn my gaze toward its source.I saw a figure of a man in a white dress, with a pair of glasses on his shallow-looking eyes. It dawned on me that I was in the hospital room, with a doctor beside me. Memories flooded back_my husband’s scourging remarks, the blurry vision, the collapsing on the floor, and the feeling of life leaving me. My fist clenched tightly to the bedspread as I jerked up from the bed. “What am I doing here? Where's my husband?” I asked, staring steadily at the doctor, expecting a reply. “Ms. Sebastian, relax. Don't stress yourself too much, okay.” He said calmly, gently laying me back on the bed. "A couple brought you in; they said you fainted
Emily Pov “Sign them.” Alexander walked in flipping a bunch of papers to my face as I dropped the hair dryer on the table. I glanced through the papers and gasped at the content of the papers. “W_what is this?” I stammered, my hands covering my mouth in disbelief as I stared at his face in confusion. “Just sign the papers.” He instructed, avoiding my gaze as I felt a lump in my throat. We have only been married for two years and he's asking for divorce? I stared at him in confusion. “Alexander Bennett, what is this?” I asked angrily, if this were to be a joke then he should stop it. I'm no longer finding it funny. “Do I look like a joke to you? Emily, I want a divorce and I mean it. Sign them.” He said and was about to leave the room when I stopped him. “What is going on, Alex? You don't mean this, do you?” I paused, fixing my gaze on him. “How can you flip divorce papers at me as though it's some sort of contract letter? This can't be true, Alex.” I yelled, holding tigh
