Marietta’s POV

“Cancel every meeting for tomorrow. Book a flight to France. Now Clara!” I ordered.

“Hey, Etta. Calm down.” Elsie grabbed my face.

“It’s alright,” he patted my head.

Placing my head on his chest, I wept.

“I promise you, she’ll be fine,” Elsie assured me.

“Do you want me to come with you?” Elsie asked.

“Someone needs to be here. We’ve got a movie cast in a few days to Christmas, Elsie.” I wiped off my tears.

“I have to go,” I said.

“I’ll always call you. If you need anything from me, don’t hesitate to let me know, okay?” Elsie shouted from behind.

It took me two hours before I got to the airport. “Clara, you won’t be going with me. But please, give Elsie all the support he needs.”

“Yes, ma’am,” Clara bowed.

My flight was a very tiring one. I couldn’t help myself.

All through the journey, I was just tearing up. Making use of my scarf to cover my face.

Since I was in first class, there was less disturbance from fans.

It took me ten hours to get off the plane. I didn’t wa

I could see most of them shaking their head in shock while raining insults on me. “Jeez. You are so wicked. You stole Katty’s man and yet you’re trying to kill her baby?”“I think she wants her sister dead. More tears streaming down my cheeks. “Owww…my baby… save my baby please,” Katty winced, tears rolling down her cheeks, while she yanked my hands off. “Don't touch me you murderer!

    Marietta's POV“He wants a divorce?” I repeated in shock. “Are you serious?” I felt relieved just as I heard Granny Lorette’s voice in the living room. I’m sure she will calm Michael. After all, she's always got my back.“Michael, if this is all a joke, you can stop now.” I heard Granny Lorette lash out. “No! It’s not. I’m serious about this,” I heard Michael argue.“I can’t stand this any longer, Grandmother,”“I’m filing for a divorce. I’m sick and tired of her. I don’t even love Marietta. You forced me into this whole thing.” I heard Michael rage.“Are you telling me that all through the years you’ve spent with her, you didn’t love Etta?” Granny Lorette questioned.“You used your powers and your company shares to coerce me into marrying Etta. And to top it all, you are standing up for her?” Michael scoffed.More tears flowed down my eyes when Michael shouted, causing me to peep from upstairs, where I was standing.“She did what? She lost the baby?!” I heard him scream while talki

    Marietta’s POV“Congratulations, Mrs. Lockhart,” The doctor smiled, reaching out to me with a white envelope. “You are two weeks pregnant,”I took the white envelope from the doctor with shaky hands. “No, no, no. This must have been a mistake. Do you think I might have been misdiagnosed?”“A mistake? The blood samples clearly match yours.” The doctor concluded.“But well, you might be correct. It sometimes happens,” he added. I heaved a sigh and felt relieved.“I’ll ask one of my efficient staff to attend to you. She will take your blood samples and carry out the test again. Is that okay by you?” The doctor asked.“Yes, sure.”“Very well then, you can wait at the lab.” The doctor replied.After a few minutes of waiting, I was handed another test report. “I supervised this myself,” the nurse explained, and left.“What the hell? Am I really pregnant? I’m fucking–” I yelled out of frustration as I choked on my words.Tears streamed down my face out of fear.I can’t even abort this chil

Michael retorted.“I’m not, I snapped.You are leaving this afternoon. I’ll drive you to the airport and you must leave even if you don’t want to!” Michael flared up and left in anger.I couldn’t help but smile bitterly. I cannot believe Michael would volunteer to drive me to the airport in person.“C’mon Marietta, don’t be stupid. He just wants to make sure you get to the airport,” I scoffed in disbelief before closing the door. I dragged myself towards the bed since I felt so tired, maybe a nap would do.“A hundred degrees?” I exclaimed upon seeing the result on my thermometer.“My fever is getting out of hand,” I whispered.Dropping my traveling bag, I reached

One last push.” The nurse encouraged me.With sweats dripping off my body, I made the last push in screams.Tears rolloed out of my eyes, as I felt at ease. The baby had came early, I thought I was going to die, since this was my first time. Also luckily for me, the baby seemed healthy in the nurse’s arms.Staring at my baby weakly, I couldn’t help but mutter to myself “Finally I have a family in this world now,” Having said that, I passed out. The knock on the door had woken me up from my sleep–it was a nurse.“Hi. How are you feeling?” The nurse smiled at me.“I’m fine. What about my baby?” I quickly asked.“Trust me your baby is fine. A nurse will bring your baby soon,” she replied, checking my drip.“I don’t know if I should do this, but I don’t have a choice.” She replied.“What is it?” I stuttered in fear.“The hospital bills need…” the nurse hesitated.The h

I know we’ve wronged you, But please, let’s make amends,” Granny Lorette almost knelt.“I’ve forgiven you. But I don’t want to have anything to do with any of you again,” I charged and left immediately.“Etta!” Michael called. “Clara, get the car door, now!” I ordered.I was in the car before Michael could get a hold of me.As I watched him through the car’s rare mirror, I couldn’t help but wonder if I had done too much. “Ma’am,” Clara broke the chain of my thoughts.“Yes, what is it?” I questioned.“It’s Mr. Felix. He said you cannot cancel the deal with the Whitmore,” Clara cleared her throat.“What do you mean by that?” I frowned in confusion.“He said they are one of the largest stakeholders in the company,” Clara explained.“I don’t want to have anything to do with those people!” I cried.“You have a call,” Clara passed my phone to me. It was Bella.“Bella

    Michael’s POV “I'm sorry, Etta,” I repeat. “Don't come closer!” She yelled.“I know what I did was wrong. Please,” I tried to hold her, but she seemed to be disgusted by my presence. “It's been three years, Michael.” She started.“You and granny left me for three good years in an unknown land.” She took a step back.“I know I did really bad. Please give me a chance to correct my mistakes. Please,” I pleaded further. “I didn't come here for this. So, please, leave! You are dead to me already,” she closed her eyes and was about to walk away. “I'm sorry, but I can't let you go. Consider Valerie,” I proposed. “Valerie?” She yanked her hand off. “She was never yours, and will never be!” She spat. “Now let me go!” She snapped.“I'm sorry, Etta.” I held her hand tighter. “Michael, Leave me alone!” she struggled with my grip. “Let the woman go, young man. I believe you to be a gentleman,” a masculine voice echoed from behind.Isn't this the man who was flirting with her a couple of m

    Marietta’s POV I don't know why my heart keeps racing when I see Michael. “You can't possibly tell me you still love him? After everything he's done,” Bella yelled over the phone. “I don't know, Bella. I'm confused. I saw him today. He asked after his daughter,” I whispered. Turning on the air conditioner, I lay on the bed exhausted. “He knows you have a daughter?” Bella questioned in surprise. “My personal life has been getting out somehow. I don't know what to do, Bella. I'm now a star, remember?” I heaved a sigh. “What do you want to do? What if he wants to claim Valerie?” Bella asked further. “Valerie is sleeping, right?” I questioned. Valerie is just three years old, but she is smarter than any kids I know of. “You know what, just make sure her face isn't seen by anyone. Stick to the plan.” I warned Bella. “I've got a lot of events ahead of me in the morning. And I need to wake up early.” I thanked Bella, hung the call, and dosed off. ******Clara’s call had woken me u
