The two of them stood, facing each other. One was calm, remorseful and apologetic in his gaze but the other was fierce, furious and hate filled. “The last thing I will be doing in this life is getting divorced with you Ava. I want you back and I will not give you this desire of yours” Adrian reaffirmed. “You must be joking, you swine. You think you decide the shot here? No, you don't and would never have that chance to have things in your own way anymore. You will sign this paper, even if I have to pull the trigger on your head and blow that skull of yours into several pieces, I'll do it and use your blood as the signature” Aurora threatened. “Calm down Aurora” Patrick stepped in. He had witnessed how remorseful Adrian was back then. And seeing him kneel down before her, his respect for Adrian just doubled. “Stay out of this, Patrick. This dramatic man never showed me anything except cold heartedness and hatred. I can't start counting what he'd done
Rodgers went over and brought out a file. He made some notes on a notepad, got it out besides the file and then sat down with his legs crossed. “Not entirely,but close to finding him. When he was taken from you, someone claimed to be your sister and took him away from the government orphanage. And when I looked closely, the person's passport has faded over time but the name is Susanna Wesley, a younger sister of yours…” Rodgers was saying when Luna interrupted him. “No, I have no sister, let a younger one. There's no Susanna Wesley anywhere in my parents bloodline. Where did the imposter took my son to?” Luna asked fidgeting with tears filled eyes. “There's where I paused. Who is Susanna Wesley then?” Rodgers asked and Luna broke down in tears. Who took her son away, who did it? “I invited you over to ask you a few questions Ms Luna. If you don't calm yourself and be strong, we aren't going to go far in this investigation. Now that it is affirmed tha
Aurora was shocked and for the next few seconds, she found herself tongue tied. She stared at Patrick with a poker expression, unable to find words to retort back at him. All her efforts, to see that she made Patrick what he dreamt about, was not appreciated all because of Adrian Lester? Who has jinxed her in her past life that she wouldn't find happiness in this life again once she crosses paths with the Lester family son? “Did you think through your words before sprouting it or you simply blurted it out unknowingly?” Aurora asked, her gaze fixed on Patrick. This fellow stood by her momma when her Papa died. He had a cross with Adrian because of her and without thinking twice, was ready to discard the great prospect and the future of financial stability that stares at him because of that demon surnamed Lester? “Of course I'd thought it through. I am not that kind of person who forgets past favours and friendship because of present opportunity” Patrick declared.
She sighed softly and wanted to shut the door when he placed a foot forward, obstructing her, and blocking the door. “What do you want?” She demanded. She doesn't want issues with anyone. She just wants to live her life peacefully, find her son and live happily ever after,of course that's after she'd get revenge on the one who made her end up in jail. “You” Richard replied and stepped forward. He had to stalk her and know where she lives. He needs to see her and talk to her again. Luna Wesley just turned around and walked away from the door, leaving it open. Richard took another step in, leaving his bodyguard and chauffeur behind. Luna Wesley just sank into the sofa. Many years have passed and they meet again for the second time, staying at such close proximity. She expected that she would feel repulsive by merely sighting him but no, she's not feeling anything like that. “You have five minutes to stay here. And your time starts now” Luna declared, her ar
He helped her sit up and she smiled and said “I'm fine” but she knows deep inside her that she's far from being fine. The pains plunging her body were severe. Richard helped her into the restroom and when she returned,he decided he would call the servants to order. Why wouldn't anyone be available or could it be that Anna didn't use the call button? He wanted to talk to her about Luna Wesley that she was out of prison. She'd regained her freedom but changed his mind concerning it. It's of no use, telling her the woman he used to love is back at the time when she was feeling so sick and vulnerable. Next morning, Richard Summoned the servants and told them to pay a close watch on their madam. He also phoned the hospital and requested for special nurses to be available, taking care of her and taking turns and shifts. “Isn't Adrian aware of his mother's condition?” Old man Lester demanded. What's the use of having a child that would not be there for you at such a crit
Did he hear what Anna said? Can the ears also be hallucinating? Of course not. He heard her words distinctly. He never heard the beginning,but he heard it midway and it's enough for him to conclude what the conversation was all about. At the same time, Anna's sixth senses perceived that someone might be close by, eavesdropping on her conversation and she turned back abruptly to come face to face with her husband. She was momentarily rendered speechless. How much did he hear and now knows? Or perhaps he didn't hear anything, he probably just stepped in. These naughty servants didn't use their common sense to shut the door after them, otherwise she would have known when he opened the door. But staring at Richard, he wore a poker face. She cannot ascertain if he heard or not. Hence she felt weak and gently used her thumb to hit the ‘end call’ and hung up. At that moment, many thoughts crossed Richard's heart. What does Anna know about the whole ordeal that Luna w
Richard waited patiently. Many years have passed. How can he not know that Luna was pregnant? How can he not know? He pulled her hand and placed it on his left chest, exactly where his heart beat and said “swear to me, Luna, if my question doesn't deserve a positive answer, swear to me!” He demanded. Luna pulled her hand off and glared at him. He wants her to feel his heart beating and then swear to him that she has his son at the time he was frolicking around with the mischievous woman he married. “What if I was pregnant? What's your business with that? Who says my son was fathered by you? You are not in any way related to my son. And yes, I had a son” Luna bellowed, her eyes locked with his. Richard's eyes went tender. He gradually softened his gaze and he asked “Why didn't you let me know that you were pregnant? I could have raised my son even if you were locked behind bars…” he demanded, his tone filled with resentment. “Why would I tell you about a son th
His lips touched hers. She still didn't move, he kissed her gently, briefly, intending to end it, but he couldn't. He kissed her more. And slowly, he felt Luna was responding. His hands circled around her and moved away from her back to the back of her head as he kissed her more. She kissed him back, and the real fun started. Luna Wesley knew she was doing what was wrong, but it doesn't matter to her what is wrong and what was right anymore. However life presents things before her, she would take it. Wasn't it wrong when another woman took her man from her? Or was it right that she went through terrible times and years of betrayal and separation from her son? Everything was wrong. She wants to go with what is wrong at that moment. Being with Richard, having his hands around her, touching and kissing her were things she should never get separated from, but it happened. She missed him. It's been a long time. She has his lips again, his body against hers, that charm
