“Can you cut her some slack? She has been through a lot. “Mel scolded Letty.Letty smiled with a glint of mischief on her face. She knew exactly what she was doing.” No…...I am just being a good friend who listened to her dirty deeds during the night. so don’t declare me the villain here” she replied back.“Gosh …..you are impossible . Anyway, don’t you dare spoil the moment when we go out. I want her relaxed and happy “Mel said with a smile on her face. Ever since Letty came, she had been enjoying her times. It was no longer dull and lonely like when she had to live separately from Susan.With her spoiled and carefree attitude, she found that she was worrying less about her own life problems. She had actually managed to take it easy after a very long time.People thought that doctors were strong and shoulder so much but sometimes, it reached a point where they could no longer take all the pressure in life. The Nanny arrived soon after. It was going to be the first time that Susan wa
“But you kissed Mark and told me about it” she didn’t give up.“Stop bagging me about this matter. Will you? It would be better if you got yourself a man. Then you would stop asking me how it felt to kiss Ethan or whoever I am with “she said sarcastically.“I hate you….” Letty snarled.“Girls, we have reached our destination. Let us all get down “Mel said as they all looked at the leisurely looking buildings ahead. The grass was green and the place was surrounded by beautiful palm trees. Just next to the building lies the ocean that connected the East City to the North city. Susan filled her lungs with fresh air. It reminded her of home and there was nothing more comforting than to imagine that she was home.“This place is magnificent! “Susan exclaimed not even hiding her excitement.” How did you know that I like beaches and oceans?” This time round, Mel has managed to give her what she really needed. Home away from home. Susan promised herself internally that she was going to l
“Are you serious? Why are you always an idiot? Let me deal with her for your sake. You don’t need to pay me anything. “Letty insisted.“Letty, be sensible. We can get in to trouble and there will be no one who will help us. Please, don’t fight for my sake. She is the one who came looking for our trouble. Let her take the lead role, okay. “Susan begged.“Aren’t you the sneaky best friend who had the audacity to publish stupid things against me in campus? I will have my revenge on you someday. Just you watch.”Vivian said coldly before pointing a finger on Letty and pushing her forehead.“Bring it on and let us see who between you and me is the badass slut.” Letty started to get worked up and Susan knew that Letty will explode any minute, so she intervened.“Vivian, what do you really want from me? I left everything back for you. I left my family and home so that you can have it all. I am just minding my own business and trying not to cross your path and yet you don’t want to leave me a
Melvin sipped her glass of water calmly as she looked at the man.“I should be the one asking you what is happening here. Is this the kind of people that you allow in this place? I am very disappointed in you people. You need to improve and I strongly suggest that something like this shouldn’t repeat itself” Melvin said looking impatient.“Yes ma’am, I understand.” the manager mumbled.“Excuse me, manager. I am the one who called you. I want you to drive them out immediately or you will face the consequences. I don’t want to ever see them in this place and all the outlets related to this establishment. “Vivian said with an evil smile on her face.“Miss Cross, if there is a misunderstanding, I am sure that we will sort it out satisfactory. why don’t we all sit down and try to figure out something for all of us? “the man suggested and Vivian got even angry.“I know the owner and I am going to call her so that she can fire you. I am sure that she will appreciate someone who will take ca
Even though she had once mentioned her family, Susan didn’t think that they were this wealthy.“Don’t you stare at me like that. I am not a person who brags to others about what I have. I was raised differently to that nut case” Melvin stated as she stood up” Let us go to the sand beach, I have been busy lately and I need to sun bathe a little “She suggested. Susan was still dumfounded. Melvin was so mysterious. There were so many things that were not adding up on her. She saw her kill the men who attacked her the day that she gave birth to Happy. She looked experienced more like she had been on the special forces or something similar.She had built a very complex and complicated hospital in the East city and yet she said that she gave it to the community. Then again, she now own this multibillion property. What was she hiding from her?Anyway, what she was. It didn’t matter to her. She had shown her genuine friendship and she wouldn’t allow herself to doubt her.“Susan, don’t be sl
Susan quickly grabbed Melvin’s arms “You are scaring us. Are you really the mafia Queen.?”“No….. you are so unbelievable. That was just a figure of speech. Come on, I remembered that I have to take care of something a little bit. I will meet you guys in a while. Just relax and ease your minds, okay.” Melvin said and then hurriedly climbed the stairs.When she reached her office, she was breathing heavily. She was thinking about how she was going to save this situation. She picked up her phone and dialed her assistant number “How is he doing?” “Doctor, I was about to call you about the good news. The patient woke up about 30 minutes ago. She keeps on calling Susan’s name. What should I do?”He really was still in love with Susan after everything? why does love have to be this complicated? Someone seems cold and ruthless but deep inside he is just like everyone else, yearning to be lovedMelvin breathed with a sigh of relief. At least, the asshole woke up right on time. He has got a
Ethan laughed “Are you going to take me for a fool? Why would I search this place when I know that you can take me to him? Let me remind you that I have been tracking Mark without his knowledge ever since we became enemies and my tracker led me to your hospital. Please… let us not play this game anymore.”“Oh…. God. what am I going to do now? Melvin was still thinking when her phone rang. It gave her the distraction that she needed not knowing that she will be dealing with even worser news. The caller ID showed that it was Susan and she wondered what she wanted. She just dropped them at the house not long ago.“It is Susan, I will pick it up”“Hello., Susie. How is Happy doing? “Mel asked lazily. However, Susan started crying over the phone. She couldn’t even speak clearly. Melvin sensed that there was trouble. “Calm down and tell me what is going on. I will try my best to come over there as soon as possible ““Mel, my baby …...Oh ….my God …not my baby.” That was all that she said a
“Thanks …I love you. I will have to leave now. I want to remind you to trust only me. Whatever you will see and hear just know that it will be for the benefit of Happy. You, Happy and Joy are my family, don’t ever forget that. “At that time, she didn’t understand what he meant and honestly it didn’t matter“I understand, please take care “Susan said and Ethan looked at Letty and Melvin.“I will take my leave now. Melvin, we still have a pending conversation and I hope we can close this matter the soonest as possible. It is very important.”“Off course. The patient that your assistant brought to me is doing well. I heard that he came out of his coma yesterday. Isn’t that good news? You are such a good employer and I admire your thoughtfulness. Don’t worry, I will update you on his condition when you have time.” Mel replied with a neutral expression not to arouse any suspicion.Ethan thought “what a clever woman? Always playing her cards well.”Ethan went back home and found Vivian sea
“I love you “Ethan said as he kissed her passionately on the lips.“I love you more” Susan replied as they turned to the crowd while smiling with charm. It was unexpected wedding yet colorful. with the close family members available, they didn’t need any more witnesses for their love. It was just perfect the way it was.“Baby brother, you finally made it. We are so happy for you “Damian said with excitement in his eyes. “Today we won’t prank you or try to leech off of you but we have a surprise for the two of you “he added with seriousness on his face.“Oh…..please have you ever done anything for me without expecting payment . I am warning you, I am not in the mood for your craziness. I don’t want to be grumpy on my wedding night “he commented and Susan blushed.“Yes …Devil king. We have been planning this for so long because we knew that you will end up with her. She is so beautiful and goodhearted. We have learned a lot from her and every day we are trying to be good people. “Dami
Ethan sneered as he looked at her coldly. “I warned you to stay out of my life and to stop bothering me. Do you think that you can control my life as if I was a robot? I never liked you in anyway. Susan was and will be my dream woman until the day that I die.” Ethan added.“Oh…..You are so predictable, darling . All along I knew where you had taken them. Forgive me for fooling you but they are safe and the person getting married for real today is my sweet baby girl, Susan. I have to return to her everything that I deprived of her including the man that she loves. ““Susan, the real wedding is about to start. come out, darling “Ariel said and Susan appeared in to the hall with Serena and Gordon holding her hands.“Mother, you bought her my dream wedding dress?” Vivian was so startled. she couldn’t believe her eyes“Why not? it can’t compensate for the years that I neglected her but I wouldn’t have hesitated to give you one if only you would have avoided trouble “Ariel said as she st
That was when Susan turned to Ethan” Please watch over Happy and do not dare let Mark come near him. ” she said and hugged her mother one last time.” It was good to be in your arms, mommy. I hope that you won’t fail me and my sister in the future “She said as she turned her back and went out with Melvin.They went straight to the address that they were given. Vivian sent someone to take them to undisclosed location. She knew that she had to be careful.“Tie yourself with the rope” Vivian instructed when they finally met with her.“Vivian, since we are here, you can go ahead and release the baby “Melvin said coldly.“Shut up idiot. Just because you are here doesn’t mean that I have to release that little useless brat. She is of no use to me. She couldn’t even help me get back Ethan or even his wealth. I needed her to be a boy instead of a pitiful l weak girl. Why should I bother myself with her? Now that I have the two of you, it is my perfect time. The plan has changed.“What are you
“Well …. I will send the address. I want them to come alone. Just the two of them because they are not meant to be your daughters. I am the only one who should be yours. “She said and disconnected the phone.Melvin held her mother’s hands gently. She could see that she was in panic. The only thing that she could think about was that this was her family now and their problems were hers now. She would make any sacrifices for them no matter what.“Mommy, I heard everything and I will gladly go. We are the ones that she has a problem with and I think that we should not let our little Joy pay for it.”“Melvin, you can’t go, I can’t lose you again, sweet sister. Please stay, I will find a way to get my daughter back “Ethan said as he pulled her in to a hug.Melvin closed her eyes and said “Don’t be too clingy. Don’t you know that we are both evil and we always find our ways out of situations like this? If Vivian wants me then I will go. “She pinched his cheeks and smiled “seriously, this is
Susan smiled and kissed his lips tenderly “Yeah …you have a way of calming me down. I love you.”That night, Melvin couldn’t sleep. She just wanted to talk to her mother. She wanted to confide in her and experience how it felt like.There has been so much burden that she has been holding on her shoulder and she needed to let them go. She had promised the love of her life on his last breath that she will try and be happy.“We will sleep together the way that we should have done when you were a baby. I swear that I will make up for everything that you missed in your life “Ariel said as she brushed her hair softly.“You know, mother. I grew up in a loving family but I had a hollow feeling in my heart that I couldn’t explain. When I couldn’t take it anymore, I joined the special forces and was deployed on the border. I was trained as doctor and I did my work very well until that fateful day.”She hesitated and then with smile on her face she said “then I met the love of my life there. He
“Not so fast, you guys found our sister and you didn’t even think of telling us?” Damian glanced at the people before proceeding towards Melvin.“I have always wished for a doctor in our family so that she can treat Ethan. Sometimes, I think that he is crazy for real “Devin said“Anyway, I am joking. I will carry my sister in to the car. “Devin added with smile.“I will drive them to wherever they are going and I will be their cook for the night “Damian offered.Celia smiled as she looked at her twins. They were a pain in the ass but sometimes they were sensible. At least they were making a good humor out of the difficult situation.“Darlings, I am so proud of you “Celia sent them flying kisses as they made their way out of the hospital with Melvin.Ariel left but she knew that she still had one mission left. She will come back for Susan. she was sorry that today, she only had time for Melvin. Soon, she believed that the three of them will be together as one family. Finally, she had
Susan moved forward with tears in her eyes “Welcome to the family, sweetie. we met for a reason and I am glad that you came my way. From today onwards, I will be the one to protect you. “Susan said while avoiding her mother’s gaze.Then it was Ethan’s turn” Even though, I loved you before, now I will adore you as my sweet sister. we could use a female sibling in the family to keep us boys in checks. Remember that you can always count on me. Our family might be a dysfunctional one but we have always taken care of each other.”Melvin didn’t say anything as Evans too stepped forward and gave her a hug” I hope you will forgive me one day. I know I wronged you but I still love you despite all the things that I have done against you. You are still my little sweet girl.”“Dear, I am not your mother and I do not support what they did, but I will always be there for you when you need me?” Celia said and then Serena added” You are my niece who I didn’t know existed. Always count on me. I will l
“I accept that I was always a mischief growing up but I also suffered. It isn’t easy to live with the guilt of having killed someone that you loved. All these bad things that I did in the past was because I didn’t know myself. I was lost and confused all because of you, Evans Griffins. Can you give me back my life ? I lost my wife and child in the midst of all this. I have nothing just because of you “Mark chimed in looking distressed.“Son, the most important thing is that the truth has come out. So, you can start over your life and change for the better. I know that I haven’t been a good father either but I love you than you can ever imagine” Leonardo said with a relief in his eyes.“I was never a bad person. I only changed after people judged me for something that I didn’t do. I felt that I was really a bad person. So, I became what you intended on me to be ?” Mark said and then turned to Ethan.“You were supposed to be my friend and yet you turned your back on me. I told you man
Melvin pouted her mouth like a little spoiled brat.“It couldn’t wait until I come back home?” She asked as she opened the door and ran into her father’s warm embrace “Did you get lost along the way?” she asked as Ethan eyes widened in surprise to see Melvin hugging Charles Oliver warmly.Now it made sense why he felt so strange around Melvin. She was indeed Miranda. If that was the case, what the hell happened back then? who died and who was buried?While he was still staring at a daze Gordon, Serena and Ariel entered in to the house. It seemed that Ariel have been crying and she didn’t look too good.“Damn you people, I hate you all. Why didn’t you tell me that my daughter was still alive? I have been waiting days and night to finally apologize to her. were you waiting for her to die for real so that you can tell me? My God, she almost died the other day and I wasn’t even there to protect her, Serena. You couldn’t even tell me that she had already given birth to my grandson. Why?”
