Piper’s POV“Of course. He’s Uncle John’s assistant. What’s going on, Grandma?” I asked, getting more curious. “It’s about their relationship,” she replied. “Whose relationship with whom?” I asked. “Freddy, Erin, and Megan,” she replied nervously. Her eyes kept scanning our surroundings. “I don’t understand. Oh, maybe we should talk in threes, just between adults without children. I’ll ask the kids to go play somewhere else for a while,” I replied as I asked Jessie and Jansen to go play in the garden area near the back porch. So, I could still monitor them while chatting with Grandma.Luckily, Jessie and Jansen understood. They both immediately ran off to the center of the garden chasing butterflies while picking some flowers. “They’re good kids. You’re blessed, Piper,” Grandma said with a sad look in her eyes. “What’s wrong, Grandma? Are you okay?” I asked, touching her wrinkled, trembling hand. I was sure she was hiding something. “Megan is not John’s daughter. She’s Erin and
Piper’s POV“Grandma, I can’t believe that Uncle and Aunty would do something. If things are that bad, I’m forcing you to come with me. I’d rather you leave this mansion. Please. I don’t want to lose you,” I pleaded as I grasped Grandma’s hand, which was smaller than mine.Without realizing it, tears were streaming down my face. Deep in my heart, I didn’t want to lose my beloved Grandma. After Dad passed away, Grandma was the person I thought of as my dad’s successor. And I still hoped that Uncle and Aunty wouldn’t hurt Grandma just for the sake of money. So, I’d better take Grandma away from the mansion so she can enjoy her old age.Grandma let out a long sigh as she looked into my eyes. “Hiding won’t solve the problem. I must still face fate. Maybe this is part of my past karma that I have to pay for in the present. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Jay, please take care of Piper for me. I trust you.”Jay nodded. There was a glimmer of sadness in Jay’s eyes. Then Jay took Grandma’s hand an
Piper’s POV“Let’s go out of the car,” Jay urged us. “Dad, I’ve never met Grandma. Is she fierce?” Jessie asked innocently. I was dumbfounded. Was it true that Jessie hadn’t met Jay’s mom in seven years? Why? Did Jay have his reasons for not bringing Jessie to see his mom?Jay’s face looked surprised. He looked nervous. “Grandma is not fierce. She’s gentle and kind. You met her when you were a baby. Of course, you can’t possibly remember her,” Jay replied. It turned out that Jay’s mom had met Jessie. But why didn’t she see Jessie more often, or did Jay take Jessie to see his mom? Was Mrs. Adams so busy that she couldn’t get close to her granddaughter? From this simple thing, I questioned the relationship between Jay and his mom. Was their relationship as close as Jay said it was?“But why did she never see me again when I got this big? I don’t even have a picture of Grandma’s face in my memory. Does she not like me?” Jessie asked. Jansen, who was sitting next to her, took her sis
Piper’s POVVanessa looked at Jay but answered nothing. Her face turned to the corner of the room and she let out a long sigh. “Mom, please,” Jay pleaded. Both of his hands clasped Vanessa’s as he occasionally kissed her hands. “I have one question. What was Piper at the hotel for? How did she end up in your room and spend the night with you?” Vanessa asked. Her eyebrows frowned. “M-Ms. Adams, allow me to answer all your questions. That night I,” I replied. It felt so heavy and uncomfortable. I had to relive and explain the painful events that ruined my life and Vanessa’s defiant attitude towards me made me feel so miserable. I realized that my family isn’t as rich as Jay’s, but Jay and I have children. Can’t she consider that? At least allow me to prove to her the real me. I looked at my fingers squeezing each other. Jay noticed my fear and nervousness. He reached over and touched my hand. “Piper, you don’t have to explain things that don’t make you comfortable. Let me explain
Piper’s POVFinally, we all got out of the car. The noodle shop was at the edge of the city park. The city government deliberately provides a food court near the park so that hungry park visitors can immediately fill their stomachs with various foods available.Apart from the noodle shop, we also saw many other food stalls. There were orange juice stalls, cakes, steaks, and others.When we arrived, the noodle shop had no customers, even though the park was quite crowded. From the direction of the food court, we could see into the park.“Dad, let’s sit here so we can see over there,” Jessie said as she pointed to the highway. Jessie was right. While enjoying our food, we could enjoy two views at once, the park and the highway. Plus the night air was very cool, so it was perfect for enjoying a bowl of hot noodles.“Ok. You guys wait here. I’ll order the food,” Jay replied.Jessie and Jansen sat opposite me. They were both busy with a new game on Jansen’s phone. While waiting for Jay to
Jay's POVMom picked up the cup on the table and drank the tea down. Then, she sighed a few times before finally answering in a slightly lofty tone of voice, "Didn't I tell you I couldn't accept her as part of our family? Do I need to tell you once again?""What is the reason behind your rejection? Just because we met by accident and spent the night together? If that's your reason, I'm the one who feels guilty for her because after that incident she got pregnant, and then she and her mother were kicked out of her grandmother's house. All because of me. But, she kept our children and gave birth to them with great struggle. After all, she wasn't just some random girl I met by accident. She's the granddaughter of Helen Smith, the CEO of Smith Company. Are those facts not enough for you?" I asked. I don't know what defense I should say to Mom, and I had already told her everything."Mom, I just want to spend my life with her. I love her very much. She's the mother of my children, after al
Jay’s POVThe day I’d been waiting for so long had finally arrived. The day that Piper and I would become one and legitimate before God and everyone. I would introduce Piper and the kids to all my family, colleagues, and the community.The dreams and hopes that I’d harbored for so long would soon come true. Finally, someone to keep me company at night. Cry, laugh, and grow old together.Thank you, God, for the family you have given me.A few days ago, I had also come to see Mom and asked her to come. I explained to her everything I knew about Martin and Karen. Karen had come to Mom’s house with me to fix the misunderstanding between them and apologize. But Mom still stood her ground and said nothing, so Karen and I went home to no avail. Luckily, Karen was very patient and willing to understand Mom’s situation.When we delivered the invitation cards to Helen’s house, Piper and I specifically talked to Megan and apologized to her for everything that happened to the three of us, despite
Piper’s POVThe door to the main hall was still closed. I stood at the door holding the bucket of red roses with trembling hands and a slightly cold sweat. It was a special day for me and Jay. We would become one and legitimate before God and everyone. Jansen would finally have the Adams surname behind his name, but most of all, he would finally have the father he’d always wanted. “Piper, don’t be nervous. Relax and take a deep breath,” Lisa said. I turned to her and smiled. “You always make me smile. Thank you.”“After the reception, I have a surprise for the newlyweds,” she said. “Umm, I hope your surprise isn’t weird.”“Hahaha, it’s not weird. I’m sure you’ll love it,” she replied while still laughing out loud. Suddenly, a staff from the event organizer approached us and he told me I could go inside now. He asked me and the others to get ready. My two twins were ready in the room to be flower girl and boy. “Everyone ready?” a male staff member asked. “Yes,” we all replied. A
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
