I stared at the huge vase in front of me, currently being held up by two people. They'd been holding it for quite some time now, and honestly, a tiny part of me was beginning to feel sorry for them. Why? Because the case was damn heavy. But even at that, I couldn't bring myself to drop it off at any corner of the room. I needed to find the right spot to keep it because everything had to be perfect. “Could you move it to the left please?” Amidst the busy background of the living room, they shuffled to the left, before waiting for my verdict. “No, take it to the right.” It still didn't fit any of those places and a small frown made its way to my lips. After thinking for a couple of seconds, I finally decided.“Just leave it where it is.” The duo heaved a sigh of relief as they dropped the vase to the ground. I had no idea why I hadn't noticed it before, but it looked perfect in its new position. “Can you two check on the refreshments please?” With a nod and bright smiles on their fac
Kaylee's POV I froze, completely rooted to my spot. My ears buzzed with Daniel's last words and no matter how many times they echoed in my ears, I just couldn't make any sense of it. “What? My skin buzzed with more than one emotion,none of them positive in anyway. My stomach churned and I felt something stir in the pit of my stomach. “I don't understand.” Daniel said nothing and his stance made me all the more nervous. I could feel the eyes behind me boring holes into my back. I was sure they had a million questions on their mind, the same way I had mine too. “You're joking.” I burst into laughter. Honestly, now that I thought of it, it couldn't be more than a prank. Daniel was known for playing a couple of pranks now and then, even when they were extreme and I wouldn't be surprised if he chose to play one today. “This has to be some kind of prank. Am I right guys?’ My laughs turned into a nervous chuckle as I turned behind me. I was hoping for even the tiniest bit of support
Kaylee's POV I sucked in a deep breath, the details of Daniel's last statement shocking me to the bones. If someone had told me that today was going to turn out worse than yesterday, I would have doubted it. What happened to my neighbor's advice? She'd told me to be hopeful, and look forward to things changing this morning. I had held onto a tiny glimmer of hope in my heart, and had prayed that it would come true, so why the hell did Daniel just hand me divorce papers? “What?!” I stuttered, too stunned to react. “Daniel, what is this?” “Tell me you can still read.” He scoffed and Liliana chuckled from her seat. “What does the letter say?“Divorce.” I muttered half to myself than anyone else. Even calling out the words didn't make it sound real enough. No, there had to be a mistake somewhere. “No, no, no Daniel. There has to be a mistake somewhere.”.“If you need time to take it all in,” Daniel's voice was cold. “I'll give it to you. Read through it for a couple of days, I'm sur
Hayden's POV I slowly made my way to the ward the nurse had just pointed me to. It took a while, but with the help of the doctor, she finally agreed. I took one glance at myself at the mirror hanging on the wall. Yes, she had just suffered something any woman shouldn't have to, but I couldn't help but look presentable. If I didn't look serious, then there was no way she was going to take me seriously. I stopped at the designated ward and sucked in a couple of breaths before knocking. I pushed open the door and perhaps if I had known what was waiting for me on the other side, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry. The brown haired woman wasn't who I was expecting to see, not even in a million years. We'd lost contact for the longest time, so what were the odds that she was here. “Kaylee?” Her head bobbed up to meet mine, and I didn't miss the surprise in her eyes.m. Just like me, she never thought she was going to see me again. “What are you doing here?”Who would have thought
Kaylee's POV I stared at the mirror in front of me, my reflection staring back at me. If I was being honest with myself, I would say that I didn't look too bad. At first, I didn't even want to dress up. When dad had brought it up, I had turned down the idea immediately. After I'd walked into the house when Hayden dropped me off, I went straight to apologizing to father. Unlike how I thought he was going to react, he'd welcomed me with one of the biggest bear hugs I'd ever received in my entire life. However, that sweet demeanor disappeared the moment I told him about Daniel.Father never liked Daniel and when I told him everything he did to me,I knew it took everything in him to not go and shoot the blasted man in his balls. He was pleased however, when I told him I was going to get a divorce. To celebrate, he decided to throw me a party, the very one I was dressing up for.I ran a hand over the invisible creases on my black dress. It was a little black number, with a corset bustier
Kaylee povWhy is he suddenly against the divorce when it’s clear we are done with each other, he has another woman now but he’s still against a divorce? “What do you mean?” I asked him angrily. He stared at the paper for a while and handed it back to me. Liliana also looked shocked to see his reaction, this was the perfect time to end the rubbish both of us once shared and now he’s against it, “Kaylee.” Dad called me. “I’ll be there in a minute, dad.” I replied almost immediately. Daniel chuckled when he heard what I said. “Why didn’t you tell me the truth about you? Were you waiting till we get divorced before you tell me the truth about who you are?” Daniel asked, I could see the pain in his eyes, the feeling of a big loss was clear in his eyes, which gave me the satisfaction I craved so badly. “Did I tell you to cheat? Did I tell you to get another woman pregnant and kick me out of the house? I did not do this so why am I the one getting all this talk?” I asked him angrily. I
Writer’s POVDaniel got back to the house and fell on the couch tiredly. Liliana rushed to grab him so he wouldn't fall on the floor and just the way he pushed her earlier, he pushed her again. “What is wrong with you Daniel?” Liliana yelled at the top of her voice. Hope was walking down the stairs when she heard Lilliana’s voice, she realized Liliana was yelling at Daniel. “Who do you think you are to speak to my son like that?” Hope asked angrily. Liliana brushed her hair behind her ear panting really hard. “Can’t you see how drunk your son is, he was humiliated in the presence of his ex wife,” Liliana said to Hope angrily. Hope stared at Liliana, she was not bothered about what happened earlier, she was more bothered about Liliana’s tone while talking to her. “Who do you think you are?” Hope asked Liliana angrily. Liliana was shocked to hear the question Hope asked her, she was only talking about what her son did and such a question came from nowhere. “I don’t understand what
Hayden povI stared at her face for a while and she wasn’t saying anything. I know that Kaylee was still suffering from the trauma of her past which is why she can hardly trust me, but little did she know that I need this revenge more than she does. “I think going back is not the best idea.” I said to her firmly against her plan to return to Daniel until the divorce is official. “That is the only plan I could come up with and I think that would work.” Kaylee said to me. I have tried my best to convince her but it seemed like her heart was made up before she came to me with the plan. “Seems you've made up your mind.” I said to her and took a sip of my juice. Kaylee checked the time and immediately stood up. “I need to head back now, I have a meeting with all the staff In ten minutes.” Kaylee said to me.I felt sad because I have barely spent time with her since we met again because she is always busy. “Okay, dinner?” I asked her. A soft smile escaped her lips and she finally agre
Writer’s Pov “Oh my goodness, ten missed calls?” Hayden was shocked to see such calls.“I hope she’s fine?” He thought to himself as he picked up his phone to call her just to be sure she’s fine because the number of times she called is quite scary.“How did I forget to give her a call yesterday? If I did she wouldn’t have been this worried” I thought to myself as I dial her number.“How are you Hansel?” she said to me immediately she picked up the call. She didn’t even wait for me to speak and she sounded worried.“Good morning mom, I’m fine and how are you?” I asked her curiously. She sighed in relief and didn’t reply to me. “Mom, are you okay? I woke up to ten missed calls from you so I got a little worried and decided to call you immediately just to be sure you’re fine.“Why didn’t you pick my calls when I was calling?” She asked me with a very calm tone. “Mom, I just mentioned it now. I was sleeping as my phone was far from me so I didn’t hear it ring. If I did I wouldn’t have i
Kaylee’s Pov“Thank you very much for the ride Hansel, I really appreciate” I said as I got to the front of my apartment We had quite a fun chat all through the drive and Hansel is indeed a nice person, I could tell just by spending time with him.He was so polite with his words and didn't abuse his power unlike his dad. With the little time I spent with him I noticed that he’s actually the opposite of Daniel and he won’t change.He cares and respects ladies and he grew up into a nice gentleman.“It’s fine Kaylee,” he smiled. “You actually save me because I would have waited there for minutes before getting another ride” “I know that's why I decided to give you a ride. Surprisingly, your apartment is along the way to my hotel so it makes it even easier for the both of us” he explained.“Yes, but still I’m grateful” I kept thanking him and it almost seemed like he got me a car. “I like your environment, it's nice” he said as he looked around.“You can say that again, I even love it m
Kaylee’s Pov “It’s fine, I promise” he said to me because he could see that I was worried. “Okay, if you say so” I said to him with a smile. “My name is Hallie, and you?” I said to him, smiling.“Okay, my name is Hansel,” he replied politely. I was a bit surprised to see him answer me this way because I didn’t expect him to be so polite with me.It’s obvious that he didn’t take after his evil father because Daniel would never act polite with anyone. He’s always so unapproachable and he would never speak to a stranger so politely.Looking at his face he looks like Liliana, even though she isn’t his biological mother. One would think she’s his biological mother. “Such a nice name,” he said, still smiling. He was so polite with me and it made it quite easy for me to talk to him. I was a bit skeptical about approaching him because I don’t know the kind of person he is but after meeting him I realized that I was just worried for no reason. He seemed so happy to see me.“I think you were
Kaylee’s Pov I went back to my seat and just sat down, I was thinking of another way to approach him. Approaching him when he’s with some other person is a bad idea so I want to approach him when he’s probably alone. I noticed that he was chatting so I walked towards his direction and while I was approaching him a young man walked up to me. “Hi beautiful,” he said with a smile on his face. I don’t know him and I haven’t met him before now so I was surprised. “Could he have mistaken me for someone else?” I thought to myself because he isn’t acting like a stranger rather he’s acting like he has met me before. I was going to approach Hansel because he was done having a chat and now I’ve been stopped by God knows who, I would have just excused myself but I don’t want to be rude. “Hi” I said to him with a stern look on my face. I didn't want to be friendly nor do I want to put a smile on my face. “I’ve been seeing you around and I couldn’t stop myself from coming to you, you look so s
Writer’s Pov I woke up very early because I had a long day ahead of me and all I wanted was my mission to be accomplished. I would be going to the hotel Hansel was lodged in and I didn’t want him finding out that I’m someone from his father’s past. I want it to look like we were opportuned to meet. I opened my wardrobe to get a very beautiful dress to wear so that I could approach him boldly. “What do I wear?” I muttered as I went through the dresses in my wardrobe. “Should I wear this? I think it’s too short” I said as I brought out the first dress I wanted to wear. I don’t even know what I wanted to wear. I didn’t have any particular dress to wear, I just wanted to look smart and attractive even though my plan wasn't to seduce him. I want to build a very strong connection with him so that he doesn’t suspect my intentions. I want to use him as bait to get to his father and evil grandmother. I know how special he is to his parents and he will be the perfect person for me to us
Kaylee’s Pov “What a day” I said to myself as I sat down on the couch in my sitting room.I had a very productive day and I was happy about it. I couldn’t have wished for any better day than this because it went just exactly as I had planned.This is the happiest I have been in a while. I smiled from chin to chin as I couldn’t help the joy I felt in my heart. Slowly I was becoming happy with who I am and I could finally look at myself in the mirror without feeling sad.I was overwhelmed by how far I’ve gone and I could finally say I’m ready to move back. I waited for so many years to be sure that I’m ready for my revenge.I had so many thoughts in my mind and just imagined a mission accomplished. I was still mesmerizing when my phone began to ring.I was a bit startled because I wasn’t expecting any call. “It’s Hayden” I said as I immediately picked the call. “Hi Hayden,” I said to him with a smile on my face.“You sound very happy” he said because he could tell from the way I greete
Writer’s Pov “It’s late already and Hansel flight is a four hours flight so he is suppose to have alighted hours ago” Liliana thought to herself She was in her room and was worried because she hasn’t heard from her son since he left. “He assured me that he is going to call once he gets to his destination,” she muttered to herself.She wanted him to call her first but it seemed like he wasn’t going to call so she picked up her phone which was on the drawer beside her bed and decided to give Hansel a call.She called him and his number wasn’t reachable. “I just hope he’s okay and why would his number be unreachable now? Could it be that his phone went off and he hasn’t been able to charge it?” Too many thoughts were on Liliana’s mind as she was so confused and worried at the same time.She was trying not to get herself walked up because he just might be doing perfectly fine wherever he is. But the mother in her couldn’t keep calm, she couldn’t help it, she was so worried.“If Daniel h
Writer’s Pov “Daniel, please stop!” Hope shouted from her distance. This is the first time that Hope would ever be stopping Daniel for hitting Liliana.Hope could see the anger in Daniel’s eyes as he raised his hand to hit Liliana so hard she was scared that he’s going to end up wounding her.Liliana, who pushed him too far was scared when she saw the look on his face. He was staring at her like he wanted to end her life.“Daniel please just calm down” Hope said as she finally got to where Daniel was and held his hand calmly. “Why did you even stop me? I just wanted to kill this bastard and feed her body to the animals to eat” Daniel said to his mother with so much anger in his eyes.Liliana, who fell on the floor when she noticed that Dan was about to hit her, was so grateful to see Hope stop Daniel for the first time.Liliana was sweating as fear gripped her heart, she could get the sound of her beat so fast. For a moment she thought she had lost her life. “Oh my goodness Liliana,
Writer’s PovThere was an awkward silence from Daniel, Hope and Liliana when Hansel left.Liliana had a lot that she wanted to say to Daniel, she just wanted to give him a piece of her mind but at the same time it’s better she keep it to herself because if she said anything at that moment it’s going to be bad.“Why are you standing there and staring like a statue? Don’t you know the way to your room anymore or you want to go join your son on his trip?” Hope asked Liliana sarcastically.“You can just keep it in Liliana” she muttered to herself because Hope was just trying to provoke her. She has been poking her for days now and expecting a reaction from her but since Liliana was aware she didn’t want to give Hope the satisfaction she wants.“What was the drama you were displaying earlier? Daniel asked Liliana with a strict look on his face. Count yourself lucky that Hansel was here. I would have given you a very loud slap” Daniel said.“There was no need for you to put up an act like
