Author’s POV

Vivian walked into the dimly lit pub, her designer bag strapped on her shoulder with her shoes clacking on the polished tiles.. The loud pop music boomed, its strong beat reflecting the pulsating energy that emanated within. A soft smile tugged at her lips as she flew her gaze around, her narrowed eyes scanning the bar in search of someone.

Her grin stretches when she finally locks eyes with the person she had been searching for.

“Welcome, Vivian,” Cecile grinned as she approached her with wide arms. She was in a magenta off-the-shoulder sheath dress that highlighted her shape and curves..

The golden luxurious jewelleries she wore glistened under the glowing chandelier and her perfume wafted heavily in the air.

After giving Vivian a brief hug, she eyed her from head to toe, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.

    Emily's POV Heaving a deep sigh, I reclined on the chair, with my legs crossed on top of the other. After the event, dad and I arranged our flight back to New York. We were meant to stay for a bit longer because the Waltons were more than friends to my father, but we had to depart because of Carl. His nanny called; she advised us that he was sick and that I needed to leave immediately. I'm still puzzled as to what caused the gunfire and commotion back at the party. I felt Ethan was hiding something since he promptly addressed the situation without involving the cops or questioning the perpetrators. He appears to have known what was going to happen ahead of time. He knew he was going to be attacked and had already prepared for it.“Enjoy your lunch,” the flight attendant said as she dropped a tray of biscuits, waffles and a nice light decent meal on my table.I kept a forced smile on my face as soon as our eyes locked. She was dressed in a navy customized uniform with a cool cap

I had tried to reason with Emily, to convince her to agree to the test, but she had refused. Now, I'm left with no choice but to take drastic measures.“A Court order for DNA?” Samantha asked, adjusting her spectacles as she peered at me.“Yes,” I replied, my voice firm and unwavering.“So you mean, four year old Carl Gills, the son of Emerald Gills is your son as well?” She asked while I nodded in confirmation.Samantha sighed deeply as she raised an eyebrow. "Logan,” She began, and my heart skipped a beat as though the weight of her words could break the fragile calm of her office.“I understand your concerns, but getting a court order without Emily's consent will be difficult. We'll need to prove that you have a legitimate reason for requesting the test."My jaw clenched and I paused in a track. "I have a legitimate reason," I replied, "I want to know if Carl is my son

    Emily’s POV The night passed slowly, each minute dragging in like an eternity. Dawn crept in through the curtain, casting a pale light across the room, but it did nothing to lift the weight on my chest. Logan had commenced processing a DNA verification for Carl, and although he had discussed it with me earlier, I still couldn’t believe he’d commenced it without my approval. Sitting on the bed, I sighed and slammed the alarm with my palm. The blaring sound went off, and silence ensued. My phone chimed after a while. Yawning, I stared at the caller ID through hodded eyes. “Kate,” I mumbled, sitting on the bed and reclining on the headboard. “Hi Emerald , Good morning. How was your night?” Kate asked, concerned. “My night was fine. How was yours?” “It was great. I spent the night at Jeremy’s. I’m on my way home.. Guess what Jeremy did last night?” Kate asked, her voice tinged with excitement. I nibbled my lips and crossed my legs on top of the other, hinting at what it co

I'll…I'll be fine.” Logan struggled to say to me in a stutter.“No, you are not fine.” I cried, trying to help him in any way I could before better help could come. If I had my way, I would have driven him off to the hospital but, I was in no right state of mind to drive a car now and he could not do the same in his injured state.Soon, Logan passed out and some onlookers dropped by to see what was happening.“Help me! my…my husband has been shot.” “Call the cops,” someone suggested.“Whoever fired the shot should still be around here somehow.” Another person said.“Please, let's call 911!” someone else said and all the while when they were talking and taking steps in helping us fro

That will be sorted by you, Black.” “You have to make sure everything turn out well when you guys go to get them.” The deep croaky voice of the mafia's grouphead resounded in the room while he addressed the members of the secret organization.“We have to ensure that nobody comes close to our group. The other rival gangs will get too cocky if they notice us slacking. This isn't time to slow down guys, we have to step up and show that we own this arena–”Collin's dark eyes wandered lazily around the dimly lit room, his mind in a faraway place as he sat on the seat at a corner in the room.The mafia members' discussion about the upcoming ammunition that had been imported secretly into the country and the inherent sneer from jealous rival gangs faded into the background while he thought of his newest worry.He couldn't be bothered about anything more except the news he'd gotten from Vivi

Anxiety lingered in the air."Doctor, how's Carl's health?" Logan asked first, while Emily stood there looking at one way."While his immune system is still stable, we have to explore several options for a bone marrow transplant. Since neither of you is a match, having a child together could potentially save his life.” The doctor said, staring at them sympathetically.“I understand this is personal but do know that I'll always be here to support you.

"After everything I did, after everything I said, she still went back to him?"Vivian, standing in the corner, let out a quiet chuckle. She had been watching him the entire time, enjoying the spectacle of his rage and unhappiness.

I froze for a moment. it felt as if time had come to a standstill. “Can you tell me more about this SCID?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. The doctor's voice was gentle as he added, “It's a rare genetic disorder that affects the immune system.” I listened intently, my brows knitting. He cleared his throat and continued, “It is caused by mutations in genes which play crucial roles in development and functions of the immune system.” My eyes narrowed as I struggled to process his words “So, are you trying to say that we passed it down to him?” His lips conformed into a thin line. He nodded and also added, “While it can be inherited from parents who are carriers of mutated genes, it can also be caused by spontaneous mutations during fetal development. The latter I believe is what caused It.” A deep sigh escaped my lips. I paused for a moment, trying to pull myself together. "What
