Nick’s POV “Excuse me, my grandson said that you are our new neighbor,” a woman said with a beautiful voice.I, who was engrossed in looking at every photo displayed on the living room wall, immediately turned and walked toward a middle-aged woman with short hair with a casual look, and bare face, but she looked beautiful, especially when her lips painted a smile. Piper’s face was like hers, or Piper had inherited her mother’s beauty.“That’s right. I live right across from you. My name is Nick Harrison,” I said as I shook her hand.“Karen Smith. Please have a seat,” she replied.We both sat down in the living room. Not long after, the boy came in with a glass, and he placed it in front of me.“Here’s the tea. Please drink it,” the boy said.“What’s your name?” I asked him.“My name is Jensen Smith,” he replied as he stood next to his grandmother.“That’s a good name,” I said.“Please enjoy the tea. That tea is also my mother’s favorite. I’m going back to my bedro
Nick’s POV“Ah, I’ll cut to the chase. I am Mr. Jay Lee Adams’ assistant and surely you must already know who he is. Mr. Adams’ driver accidentally saw a boy who had the same face as his daughter. And that boy is Piper Smith’s son. Surely this is a big question mark and a mystery that Mr. Adams must solve. Isn’t it?” I asked. To be honest, Doctor Sara quite impressed me. She was so careful. “I know Mr. Adams is famous throughout Valdirra. He’s the number one richest young businessman in the entire country, with untold wealth. I apologize if I have been presumptuous. I hope you understand that all the questions I’m asking are merely part of the job and the rules,” she replied. “Oh, of course, I understand and I appreciate that very much. So, am I able to get the full information today?” I asked. She smiled as her hand on the mouse pressed something and there was a ‘click’, but I couldn’t see what page she had opened on her computer screen. A few moments later, she turned the compute
Nick’s POV “I don’t understand your question. How can I remember every patient? I assisted with many deliveries together with Doctor Kevin. You can probably ask the hospital for more details,” she replied. Her eyes looked to another corner. She was lying. I could tell from her body language that she remembered, but kept the truth. “I just came from the hospital and the hospital asked me to see you. Please tell me the truth because I have your and Doctor Kevin’s Ace cards,” I retorted. “Are you accusing me? I could sue you for this,” she replied as she looked at me sharply and her tone of voice rose. “I’m not accusing you. I’m telling the truth. I hold an ace card. Mr. Adams wants the truth. One thing you need to know, until the truth is revealed, he will not give up. With his power and wealth, he can afford to hire a lot of detectives to find the truth of the question I asked earlier. So, please cooperate,” I pleaded. Her face was downcast, and her eyes looked down at her hand
Jay’s POVAfter knowing the truth that Piper was Jessie’s biological mother and that she was the woman I spent the night with seven years ago, I felt happy. Especially since then, I often observed Piper and Jessie and I just realized that Jessie looked happy to be next to Piper. She smiled often, and I got a report from her homeroom teacher that Jessie’s grades improved. In addition, her behavior has gotten better. She behaves more empathetic and friendly towards her classmates than before. Piper’s existence had a big impact on Jessie.Jessie has become a sweet girl whose attitude has become even more mature. I was grateful that Piper finally came into our lives. Aside from that, I’ve also been watching Megan, and I felt terrible for Jessie because I realized too late that Megan has never been nice to Jessie.I was standing at the window of my office, watching Jessie and Piper swimming. Not long after, they climbed up and sat down on the lounge chairs close to the pool. I saw Piper ge
Jay’s POV“Ah, I wanted to get some water before going back to check a lot of documents,” I replied as I walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge, and grabbed a bottle of mineral water.Before stepping out of there, I smiled at them as I showed them the bottle of water. Piper and Jessie just looked at me and said nothing. Then I hurried out of the kitchen while holding back my embarrassment. However, before I got any further from the kitchen, I faintly heard Lily’s voice saying, “Thirty minutes ago, Sir asked for some water to be brought into his workroom. Maybe I didn’t bring enough to drink.”“Dad rarely drinks much mineral water. He prefers to drink wine,” Jessie said. It seemed like they soon realized my purpose in the kitchen. Could it be that Piper would think I was weird? An hour later, Jessie knocked on my workroom door. “Yes, come in,” I replied. She opened the door with a big smile. After closing the door, she ran over and hugged me. “Dad, let’s have dinner. Piper made
Jay’s POV“Piper!” I rushed to open the bathroom door, hoping she was okay. My mind instantly went blank and my heart beat faster. I hoped nothing bad had happened to her. I saw her lying in the bathtub with the warm water faucet still running and flooding the bathroom floor. Her head was lying on a pile of towels and her long hair was loose. I hurriedly turned off the water faucet, picked up the towel on the table beside the bathtub, got into the bathtub, lifted her body out of the bathtub, and covered her with the towel. I carried her body out of the bathroom and laid her down on the bed. The towel was still covering her body. I sat beside her as I patted her face several times, trying to wake her up. “Piper, Piper, are you okay?” I asked worriedly. She was breathing, but her eyes were closed. “Piper, Piper.” I kept calling her name. Not long after, her body moved, her eyes opened. Once her eyes were wide open, she looked directly at me. We looked at each other and for a spl
Jay’s POV“Jessie, it’s not what you think. Listen to me. I dropped off clothes and a sweater for Piper because I thought she must not have brought clothes and a sweater in this cold weather. However, when I knocked on her door several times, there was no answer from inside. Finally, I tried to open the door to her room and found that she hadn’t locked it. After putting the clothes and sweater on the bed, I heard the water faucet running continuously, but Piper didn’t answer at all, even though the bathroom door was slightly open. I decided to approach the bathroom door and found water pouring out of the bathroom. I panicked and spontaneously opened the bathroom door and I saw Piper lying in the bathtub with her eyes closed and her mouth almost drowned. I quickly lifted her out of the bathtub and laid her on the bed. What followed was a misunderstanding. I respect her. So, does my daughter still misunderstand?” I asked as I stroked the back of her hand.Jessie shook her head and smile
Piper’s POV“Ah, Piper. Please have a seat. I’ll put on my clothes first. Wait a minute,” he said as he grabbed a shirt and trousers from the bed, then he hurried into the bathroom. I didn’t dare to look at him, so all I did while waiting for him to finish getting dressed was to keep my head down and my eyes on the floor. He made my face flush red and my heart beat faster. He’s such a tease!“Piper, why are you being so quiet? Oh, Jessie wants to come with you to watch the competition at your son’s school. Is that okay?” he asked from inside the bathroom. Hearing him ask me something, I spontaneously looked up and stared at the bathroom door, which wasn’t closed. How could that be? Did he do it on purpose? But why would he do that?“It’s not that I mind if Jessie comes with me, it’s just that,” I replied. It was just that her arrival would cause a stir and there would be a lot of questions asked of me. I wasn’t ready because I still had gotten no information. However, I couldn’t r
Megan’s POVMoments later, I heard many footsteps approaching me and a few guards helped me up and then they asked me to sit in the wheelchair. I saw that the pants I was wearing were wet and red with blood. A guard yelled and ordered two of my cellmates to prepare clean clothes for me. Things were quite chaotic. I just sat quietly in the wheelchair while enduring the pain. I wanted to scream and call my mom, but it was impossible. She was in a distinct part of the prison from me. I could only endure the pain alone. I couldn’t bear this pain any longer. After my cellmate gave a plastic bag containing clothes to a guard, they hurriedly took me away from there. They took me to a special clinic for prisoners. The city government had deliberately set up special clinics in each prison that were well-equipped so that prisoners didn’t have to be taken to a big hospital as much as possible. My wheelchair was pushed quickly. Blood continued to flow from my vagina. I stroked my stomach and mu
Piper’s POV“At one point, I regretted all the evil deeds I had done in the past and I felt that my life was not at peace. After thinking for a while and talking to someone, I came here and take responsibility. I’m sure everyone wouldn’t want to be in prison or spend their whole life in prison, but serving time in prison means I’m making amends to everyone I’ve hurt bit by bit,” Megan replied as she looked down at her cuffed hands. I saw clear liquid soaking into her bare face without makeup. Suddenly, Megan’s face turned towards the large glass where we stood and stared at us. The large glass separated the investigation room from the secret room. She smiled and said, “Piper, are you there? Sorry. All I can say to you is sorry. I wish you a happy ever after.”I was stunned. Jay hugged me from the side and I sobbed. Why did it have to end like this? Megan and I spent a lot of time together when we were kids. People said we were like twins. However, who would have thought that things w
Jay Lee’s POV As I was about to leave the workroom, my cell phone suddenly rang. Ah, it was an incoming call from Tom. If Tom was calling me in the middle of the night like this, he must have a special reason. “Yes, Tom. What’s up?” I answered. “Jay, I’m sorry to call you in the middle of the night like this, and I’m sorry to disturb your rest. I have some good news,” he replied. His voice sounded cheerful. “It’s okay. I was just about to go to bed. What’s the good news about?” I asked curiously. “Megan came here and confessed to everything she did. After searching for so long, she finally came in person and confessed everything. Now she’s in the investigation room with some officers. While her male friend waits in the waiting room,” Tom replied. “Re-really? Didn’t I hear wrong?” I asked for confirmation. “No, you didn’t. Come here tomorrow morning. Oh, and when will your wife give birth?” Tom asked. “Next month. That’s why I want this case to end soon so that Piper can give bi
Megan’s POVIt was snowing heavily in December while bringing strong winds and cold air. I spent every day just staying in my room and covering my body with thick blankets. Dean often made hot tea for me and cooked soup for us to eat every day. Fifteen days had passed since I arrived at that place. One month left, it was time for me to give birth. That night I intended to speak my heart out and tell Dean about my past. And for those fifteen days, we did everything together until I realized something had happened between the two of us. I realized Dean had fallen in love with me. He treated me more gently and provided everything I needed, including a crib and all the supplies. He also cuddled me when we slept together at night. However, there was one unique thing: when he wanted sex, he would ask me first. If I was willing, then we would do just that. However, if I wasn’t willing, he wouldn’t insist and he would masturbate alone in the bathroom. And he never had sex twice every time
Megan’s POVMy eyes continued to leak clear liquid. My chest felt tight and my mind kept replaying the events of the past and showing all the evil deeds I had done to those closest to me, including Piper, Uncle Martin, and Doctor Kevin. What kind of woman am I? I thought I deserved the nickname of a heartless demoness. Do I still have a future? Do I deserve to live after all the terrible things I’ve done? Even God might turn His face away because I’m a sinner. What was I supposed to do? Suddenly, I heard the door opening, and I looked back. That man walked in and looked at me in surprise. “What’s wrong? Why are you crying? Did you finish your breakfast?” I just nodded. My voice seemed to disappear somewhere. I had to make a choice, but I was confused and didn’t know what to do. “Oh, apparently you’re hungry. Do you still want to eat? If so, I’ll make something for you. And I’ve also bought quite a lot of snacks for you,” he said as he picked up the tray and cleared the dining tabl
Megan’s POV“I felt nothing. So, don’t think too highly of me,” I said as I looked around the corner. He laughed loudly. “You’re lying. How is it possible to not feel anything yet your lips are making moans? I’m not stupid, but you’re right. I think highly, and I’m sure you’ll like me.”“Don’t get your hopes up. I hate you. You forced me in here and harassed me. I’ve told you many times that I’m not one of those women. They do work as prostitutes, but don’t,” I replied in a lofty tone of voice. “If you’re not one of them, then why did you end up here?” he asked as he got up and took something out of his desk drawer. He took out a box of condoms. Then he unwrapped one and put it on. “I’m going to use a condom so we both benefit,” he said. “You’re the lucky one while I lose. If you’re such a nice guy, you should have let me go and not kept me here,” I said, trying to change his mind. “Stop trying so hard to change my stance. What I want to do, I will do. Now it’s time for us to pl
Megan’s POVI turned around and saw a tall man with a scar like a knife cut on the right side of his face grinning and observing me from head to toe. The look in his eyes scared me, as if he was stripping me naked. “They’ve brought you here. Where are you going?”“Let go of my hand. Let me go!” I yelled as I tried to break his powerful grip. And I saw the police car had gone far away from me. I was trapped in this place. The women who had been with me entered a warehouse. “Let go of your hand! You’re hurting me,” I yelled for the second time. I looked into his eyes, but he didn’t budge, and a few seconds later, he smiled. “Come with me. I guarantee you’ll like it.”“I’m not coming with you!” I yelled. “Please. Someone help me,” I yelled. Then he forcefully pulled my hand to walk with him somewhere. The more I rebelled, the more violent he became. Moments later, a middle-aged woman wearing thick makeup came out of the entrance of a warehouse. I thought the place looked like a large
Zac’s POVI felt my world collapse in an instant as my body fell to the floor. Warm red liquid flowed from several parts of my body that were perforated by bullets, and the red liquid hit my hands.My body felt painful and hot. My consciousness was getting less. I leaned my body partially against the wall. With a gasp, I looked around the room while smiling and imagining the old days when all my men and I were partying. We joked around while talking about our past, when we were still fighting together to complete every mission and received pay ranging from small amounts to huge amounts. We were just a group of orphans from a village. We grew up together and had the same dream of a better and happier life, even though our families had abandoned us as babies. Since then, we have helped each other and worked together. Until one day, the opportunity to run this business came to me and I recruited them. Within a few years, we had everything we wanted. It wasn’t until the bullet pierced
Zac’s POV“Megan,” I called. She turned her head. Her beautiful face looked perfect in the sunlight. Even though I don’t have feelings for her, I think she’s a woman like no other.We have the same character and different ambitions as others. She deserves to be the mother of my children. Now it was time for us to part ways. No matter what, she must survive and leave this place. While I will fight to the last breath. “Zac,” she replied. I walked closer to her and pulled her body closer to me. I hugged her tightly and kissed her head several times. Her hands hugged me. I could hear her rapid breathing, a sign that she was scared. “Are you scared?” I asked. She nodded.I released the hug, touched her jaw, and looked into her eyes, which were green like sparkling jewels. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll find a way for you to get out of here. After you get out of this place, go back to your mother’s house,” I said. She gripped both my hands. While looking into my eyes, she asked, “You’re comin
