Kaylee povI still can’t believe that after everything I have done in this house Daniel is still adamant about not divorcing me. The thought of spending more time with him in this house made me sick. I can’t even deal with it. After a few days of craziness that I faked, instead of divorcing me he decided to start treating me better with the lie that I have a light brain and everyone in the house should try and be nice to me so that I don’t lose it in front of any of them. Liliana on the other hand has gotten really close to Hope and they are practically always together. I couldn’t help but think she was happy about the loss of her baby, because she didn’t even take space to think and cry over her baby loss. Instead she has been very indifferent, in fact she got to the stage where she has forgotten that she was pregnant a few weeks ago. I stood up from the bed and started pacing around the room. My head was hurting really bad from thinking too much. I sat on the bed and heaved a s
Writer’s povIt’s a few days to Hope’s sixtieth birthday, she decided to throw a party but she was skeptical about Kaylee. She knew Kaylee's return wasn’t a good one after the last misunderstanding they had and the way Kaylee kept insisting on getting the divorce signed. Hope realized they were stupid for thinking she came back to remain Daniel’s wife after such an embarrassing moment that they made her experience. Hope still couldn’t understand his reason for keeping her when she has told him several times that she cannot remain his wife. She was sitting down at the other side of the house where she always gets her peaceful moment.“Mom, breakfast has been served.” Liliana said to her and they both headed to the dining where Daniel and Kaylee were already seated. Hope turned to look at Kaylee because for some days now they always end up having a misunderstanding over dinner. “Mom, your birthday is around the corner, is there anything you would love me to give you?” Daniel asked h
Kaylee’s pov I was in the sitting room having a nice time with a glass of juice while they were running around in preparation for Hope’s birthday. I didn’t see the need to help out because they might not appreciate my request to help. “Mother, the cake cannot be brought here, someone would have to go pick it up,” Liliana said after the call with the person making it. I heard what she said and pretended not to hear anything. They both started panicking and trying to find a way to move it down here. “What is wrong with you Kaylee?” Liliana asked all of a sudden, I was shocked to hear what she said and the way she angrily said it. “I don’t understand what you mean? Do we have an issue?” I asked her and dropped what I was reading. “Can’t you see we’re struggling here? And you still have the guts to be going through your phone and reading novels. You are unbelievable.” Liliana said to me, I couldn’t help but laugh when I heard what she said to me. She really can’t be serious with
Writer’s POVEverything was all set for the birthday party and Kaylee made sure not to get involved in the whole plan. She watched how Liliana was trying her best to make sure that the birthday was a success, at least she’s lucky to be loved by Hope, or maybe not. Guests were already arriving for the birthday and Liliana was yet to even have her bath. Kaylee was about to walk away from the sitting room when one of the guests recognized her. “Oh my goodness, Kaylee.” The guest said and Kaylee closed her eyes angrily. She’s the one most of Hope's friends recognize as Daniel’s wife so she couldn’t Blame them for calling out her name. Kaylee turned around to look at the woman. Hope noticed what was going on and rushed towards their direction, Liliana was also walking towards them.“Nice to see you again Mrs Lucious.” Kaylee said to her calmly and returned the warm hug.“You are still so beautiful, I heard you are the daughter of…” Kaylee cuts in.“You see Daniel and I are…..”“Happily
Writer’s povKaylee was in shock to see Hope’s reaction to what happened, in as much as she knew they were despicable people, she never imagined Hope would slap Liliana like that just because she was trying not to scold Kaylee. “Mom, she bumped into me.” Liliana said, trying to explain herself. “Don’t you dare refer to me as mom.” Hope said to her angrily. It felt like there were two different Hope in one body, this minute she’s very different from who she was hours ago, Liliana was as shocked as Kaylee.Kaylee turned to look at Liliana and she felt pity for her because she would never get slapped like that just because of a cake. She couldn’t say anything, she just headed back to the room. Hope was trying to give the guest the impression that Liliana is just a tramp that came in to ruin her family because of so much side talk. “Just get out of my front,” Hope said to Liliana whose hand was still on her cheek standing in shock. Liliana walked away and the maids rushed to get the m
Writer’s pov“How many times do you want me to remind you that I am not your mother?” Hope asked angrily. While Kaylee was watching the argument going on she wasn’t surprised because she went through worse treatment from Hope, it felt so bad that she wanted to give up but she loved Daniel too much to give up on their relationship.Liliana realized that the fight is only going to get worse so she stood up and walked away, Hope thought it was rude of her to walk away like that, the walk away only worsened the misunderstanding.While she was walking upstairs she saw Kaylee standing by the stairs and stared at her before walking away. Kaylee rolled her eyes and finally went back to the room, she was enjoying their misunderstanding which is why she was standing by the stairs watching both of them. Watching them made her pity Liliana because she has been through the same, she was treated badly by Hope with no sign of remorse from Hope even at the loss of her child.When Kaylee got back to
Kaylee povWhile I was still trying to take in everything that I just heard Hope say to me I heard my phone ring and just when I needed him he finally called. I picked up the phone and tried to swallow it all in so he wouldn't tell from my voice that I was crying. “Hey.” I said to him calmly. Hayden is a very observant person, he could easily tell from the way I sounded, that there was something wrong with me so I was trying my best to not let it show at all. “What are you doing?” He asked. I was still mad at him for not calling for a few days but I didn’t have the strength to stay mad at him for a long time because he’s the only one that can make me feel better. “Hayden, am I a bad person?” I suddenly asked him. Hayden was quiet when he heard the question I asked him. I don’t know what was going through his head after I asked the question but I know that he could tell there was something wrong with me. “Why would you ask such a question? Are they making you feel some type of way
Kaylee pov I had to find a way to sneak out of the bar without getting caught by anyone. I took only the paper that contained his medical report because I couldn’t find any dirty deal in the other papers. When I got back to the room I closed it immediately to prevent Hope from walking in anytime and anyhow she pleases. I sat on the bed and stared at the paper again. I couldn't believe it was in the bar all along, I read it again and placed my hand on my belly. It was only a miracle that I was able to give him a child and now he might never have a child again. I suffered humiliation for a long time. Meanwhile he was the problem and he knew the truth and still let his mother punish me like I was the one with the problem. I felt vindicated and my joy knew no bounds as I stared at the paper in front of me. I was about to place a call across to Hayden but I stopped myself when I realized he would hasten me to leave, I still want to be here for a little time and see if he will be willin
Writer’s Pov “It’s been weeks since I adopted this baby and as days go past I love him even more. He’s one of the best decisions I ever made” Daniel said to Hope as he carried his son Hansel. “I know you love him so much, I want him to have the best education he can receive so that he will always stand out amongst his pairs just like you did”While he was carrying Hansel he began to cry. “Why is he crying? I didn’t even do anything to him” Daniel said with a surprised look on his face.Liliana heard Hansel crying and went to go check if he is okay. “What is he crying about? Did you do anything to him?” Liliana asked as she carried Hansel. “Why would you even ask me such a question? I didn’t do anything to him, he just started crying” Daniel said angrily.“You are a mother and you should know that a child can cry anytime so why ask such stupid question? All you need to do is to make something for him to eat” Hope was so upset at the question Liliana asked.“What did she think we did
Daniel’s Pov “Can we at least talk before going to the orphanage?” Liliana pleaded.“There’s no time Liliana, I can’t explain anything to you right now.” I didn’t want to entertain any talks. All I just want to do is to adopt a child. Liliana was wondering what came over me that I suddenly want to adopt a child.“But you should have told me this ahead so that we can both plan properly on how to adopt. Do you even know the sex of the child you wish to adopt?” Liliana asked me but little did she know that I already know the gender that I plan to adopt.“Liliana I don’t like you questioning me and besides it’s not like you are of any use to me, I just want you to come along with me so that the orphanage will know that the child is important to us.“I’m human as well, Daniel. You didn’t tell me anything about this before now, which I find very sad. It's obvious you don’t care about how I feel because you don’t even know if I’m ready to become a mother or not. You’re just being so selfish
Daniel’s Pov“I’ve been willing to tell you this for a while now but I wanted you to bring it up yourself so that I won’t make you feel uncomfortable” Hope said. “Now that I think of it, adopting a child is better and I’ll adopt a male child so that I can give him a good training and make sure he can run the company in my absence”“You just have to adopt a baby and make sure that you give him the best” I went into deep thought immediately, I imagined having a son that will call me father. “Why didn’t you say this to me? I would have adopted a child a long time ago rather than take this long” “I told you that already, all you need to do now is go to an orphanage…” Hope was still speaking when I stood up from the chair I was sitting on. “Where are you going?” Hope asked because we weren’t done talking. “I need to go and speak to Liliana about this so that we can go to the orphanage together since they will be needing our signatures” Hope was shocked she didn’t expect me to adopt imme
Writer’s Pov Daniel was in the garden sitting down under the canopy. He got a notification on his phone and he immediately opened the message and it was his friend that sent him an online invitation. “An invitation?” He muttered to himself. He reads through it and his friend is inviting him to his daughter’s birthday party. Daniel was happy for his friend but at the same time devastated because this is his friend's second child and he’s yet to even have one child. His medical reports always say that he can’t get a woman pregnant. “Am I going to remain fatherless till I die? So I can’t have a child of my own? A child that will call me daddy” Daniel thought himself. Just yesterday he was told that his employees who got married a year ago gave birth to a set of twins. He was in deep thoughts and didn’t even realise that Hope was standing in front of him, she called his name but he obviously didn’t hear her so she had to tap him by his shoulder. “Oh mom” he said when he realised
Writer’s Pov You are not going to revisit any conversation so it's better you accept it now and don’t be delusional” Hope said to Liliana. Liliana who was already leaving heard her and turned, rolled her eyes at her and then left. “You can stare at me all you want but it won’t change anything Daniel has spoken and that’s final”“Such a nuisance, who does she think she is that I can’t tame. I’m a bit laid back because of her father but if she pushes me any further I’ll be left with no other option” “I know right, but you shouldn’t let that be a problem she can be tamed and I honestly like how you handle this now” “She knows that it’s impossible for me to allow her to go see her friend while she’s under my roof. I gave her the opportunity the first time and she misused it so there’s no second time because who knows what will do the second time ” Hope picked up her glass of champagne and a lot more champagne into her glass, she crossed her legs and sipped the champagne with smiles a
Writer’s Pov Liliana was startled when she heard Daniel’s voice “Oh my goodness I thought they didn’t see me” she muttered to herself.She was dragging her feet as she didn’t want to go and meet Daniel and Hope. “But why is he even angry though? Don’t I have the right to go out” she thought to herself as she brazen up. “They can say whatever they like. I don't care, after all I had a good time,” she smiled. “Did I just see her smile?” Hope asked Daniel curiously because there was no good reason for Liliana to be smiling. “Why is she even smiling?” “I don’t blame her, I think she still has reasons to smile for now so I need to teach her a lesson before she understands” Daniel said.“Hi Daniel” she greeted. “And why are you greeting Daniel alone? Are you blind that you can’t see me sitting here?” Hope asked angrily because she felt insulted that Liliana didn’t greet her.Daniel was staring at her so angrily and just wanted to give her a slap that she’ll always live to remember just
Daniel’s Pov “Will you calm down? And don’t raise your voice at me” Hope said to me strictly.“Please I’m not in for this right now. I'm pissed, if you are looking for someone to scold then leave” I was obviously pissed off and she wasn’t of any help.“So you are asking me to leave your presence?” She asked me with a sad look on her face. She doesn’t like it when I speak rudely to her but sometimes she pushes me too hard and I just have to speak to her harshly.“I didn’t ask you to leave but if you want to leave then it’s fine” it won’t be a bad idea for her to leave because she wasn’t doing anything for me except to get me more upset by trying to scold me.“I’ve told you this several times, I don’t like it when you try to scold me. I’m not one to be scolded and you being my mom doesn’t even give you the right to do that” I said to her with an upset look on my face.“I know you are upset and just trying to transfer your aggression on me, so I’ll just ignore what you said” I ignored
Daniel’s Pov“Did you call her?” Hope asked me. “Why would you even ask me such stupid question? You of all people should know that I can’t do such” “I’m just asking because who will possibly take your phone and call Kaylee except for you. And I don’t think Liliana would do such because she doesn’t even have access to your phone” “Liliana doesn’t even know the password to my phone so she can’t be the one” I was so confused because that day I was so drunk and I don’t even remember anything that happened that day.“Then you are the one that called her because I didn’t” Hope concluded. “I just told you that I didn't, so don't piss me off by saying I did”“I can’t even remember anything that happened that day in as much as I try to remember” I placed my hand on my head and was trying so hard to recollect what happened that day. The face of the waitress flashes through my memory.“The funny thing is that she even picked the call. She must be foolish to think that I will call her” I’ve al
Daniel Pov“When I got downstairs last night I was told by one of the maids that you have already had your dinner in your room” Hope said to me.“Yes that’s true” I was going through my phone just to see if I got any message or mail even though I wasn’t expecting any. “I thought you might come downstairs after eating your dinner but you didn’t.“I also thought so but I didn’t even know when it would be so late and I just ended up sleeping off” Hope looked disappointed because she waited for me.“Oh you were probably tired and you needed to rest so I understand now because I was upset that you didn't even come to check on your mother?”“Were you actually waiting for me? I asked the maid when I came back and u was told that you were in your room so I didn’t want you home and disturb you” I explained.“I honestly thought you were with Liliana that’s why you didn’t bother checking on me” Hope confessed. “Liliana?” I asked with a confused look on my face because Liliana wasn’t even in the
