Kaylee’s Pov“What’s with your voice today Hayden?” I asked him curiously. “My voice? Is something wrong with my voice?” I didn’t know how to reply to him again.“No it’s nothing” I replied so that we would end the topic. “Oh okay, I haven’t heard from you for days because I’ve been too busy and it’s not like I forgot to call you it’s just that I didn’t want to call when you are already asleep that’s why I decided to give you a call to know how you are doing” “I think I missed your call as well and at the time I saw the missed call I couldn’t call back because it was past midnight” Hayden wanted to be sure that I wasn’t angry at him and that were are good,“It’s fine Hayden, I understand how busy you are these days so I can’t be upset about you not returning my calls” I assured him. “Okay Kaylee, thank you for your understanding” “How is work and are you done with the project that kept you so busy from calling?” I asked him.“I’m done with the project as a matter of fact we conclude
Kaylee’s Pov “I would have loved to stay longer but I already did during the period that you had your surgery done” Hayden was really supportive during the period that I had my surgery, he was by my side all through the process. “I have a question to ask you but I don’t know if I can talk to you about it on the phone or I should just wait till I get to see you so that we can both talk about it” Hayden said to me and from the sound of his voice I could tell that it was something important. “What question Hayden? It’s fine you can talk to me about it now I don’t mind” I said to him because I was curious and can’t wait for him to come over before he tells me about it.“Are you sure you are ready to hear what he has to say?” I questioned myself but I was too curious and didn’t want to wait.“If you don’t mind me asking Kaylee, have you told your dad about the surgery you did?” He asked me calmly. It’s just like Hayden was a mind reader and he could read what was going through my mind”
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

Kaylee’s Pov It’s been weeks since I got my surgery done and I was getting used to my new identity.Hayden suggested moving out of my apartment and getting a new one, I didn’t want people asking me questions that I can’t answer because no matter how much I explain to them they just might never understand. I agreed to his suggestion as it wasn’t a bad idea and it would make me even more comfortable because people in my new apartment didn’t know that I got surgery done on my face.I moved in a few days after my surgery and the environment is just as good as my old apartment and I settled in comfortably. It was a very cold morning and I woke up early, I had some items that would be delivered to me which I had ordered for over a week.I had ordered some facial care products which I would constantly apply on my face to avoid any side effects. The products were very expensive but I had to buy them because it was important to use them and I didn’t want to have any regrets in the future.T
Kaylee’s PovI had just concluded my surgery and I now have a new identity and also intend on changing my name so that no one would recognize me as Kaylee.“Is this really me?” I thought to myself because I knew it might take a while for me to get used to my new identity. I stood up from the bed I was laying on and walked to the mirror which the doctor had placed for me in my ward. I looked at myself from head to toe in the mirror and I was seeing a totally different person from who I used to be years ago. It’s been years since I and Daniel divorced and I am ready to take my revenge on him.“I’m going back as a new person and Daniel doesn’t have any idea that I’m his wife who he divorced years ago and left so many scars that I find difficult to remove” I thought to myself and turned to see my side.I would always wake up in the morning and remind herself of what my plans are. “I didn’t want to ever get carried away. So I always remained focused and remembered what Daniel and Hope mad
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
