Chapter 70 "What are you saying?" Aliyah scoffed unbelievably. "I want Daddy. Tell Daddy to come here. I'm not coming home with you," She pouted her lips and whimpered. "You have to come with me, Nancy. Daddy is busy, and..." "Why did you tell him to stop coming here? I want to see him... I want to see Daddy," Again, she cried out, stomping her feet on the ground and she soon sat on the bare floor, rolling and crying out as if her favorite candy was just stolen from her, and Aliyah was left confused now. This wasn't something she could handle by just scolding her. Even if she wanted to do it, people were watching and they were definitely going to find out that something was happening. "Baby, can you stop, please? I'm going to call him for you on our way from here. Come with me, baby," Aliyah tried to console her, but she wouldn't budge. "Ma'am, I think you should call her Daddy to come over if she's being like this. I think she really wants to see her Dad,
Chapter 71 "Here's the file you asked me to send to your table, Sir," Jeff's secretary, Cassie said to him, but he was so lost in thoughts that he didn't hear her, until she knocked on his desk, pulling him out of his trance. "Are you ok, Sir? Is everything alright?" Cassie asked with concern, and he quickly nodded his head. "Yes, I'm fine. Drop it there," He said to her dismissively, and she nodded her head before she left his office, wondering what was wrong with him. Well, she shrugged off her concern and headed to her office, trying to mind her business. "You should just ask her what happened if you are curious to know about it. Why are you getting so disturbed about it?" He mumbled, reclining on the chair. He sighed. Seeing her in that condition hurts him, and he wished he could do something about it. "Maybe you should go talk to him. Who knows, maybe he will listen to you," He mumbled, then putting his mind to it, he stood up and strode out of his office,
Chapter 72 Aliyah POV My life has been nothing, but boring after all the shit that has been happening to me lately. Nancy is getting closer and closer to Liam every single day. Their bond is becoming stronger, and it hurts that Nancy now barely looks at me. She now prefers to spend more time with Liam, than with me. As much as I want to tell myself that it's ok, I couldn't still help the fear that's always consuming me every time I think about how she will react when she finally finds out that he's her Dad. Is he going to take her away from me then? That is my biggest fear and something I never want to come true. Staring back at me from the mirror is my reflection cladded in a short white gown that stopped just before my knees. My hair was packed up in a ponytail. I could say that I looked bright, sharp, smart, and beautiful. "Don't think about it and just stay focused, Aliyah. You have a meeting this morning," I said to myself. From the message I got earlier, I was to go to the Ha
Chapter 73 The atmosphere was awkward in the canteen. Aliyah regretted her decision of coming here. No matter how she wanted to maintain her confidence and keep up with this, seeing this man sitting in front of her was making her heart race fast and she was nervous. "Mommy, aren't you going to eat?" Nancy's voice pulled her out of her train of thought, and she smiled at her nervously. "No... I'm fine. I'm not..." "You are here to have lunch with the kid for the first time, why don't you eat with her?" Liam cuts her off, and she scoffed silently. "Yes, Mommy. Daddy is right. You should eat something," Nancy pouted her lips, and she smiled again. "Ok, baby," Her hand trembled as she carefully took the spoon and swallowed nothing. "Mom, this is my friend, Lisa. Lisa, this is my Mommy," Nancy introduced her friend to her, and she quickly dropped the spoon. "It's nice to meet you, dear. You are cute," she said to Lisa. "Thank you, ma'am," Lisa replied to her. "Mommy, Lisa can knit
Chapter 74 Liam POV 'Don't come to Nancy's school. I already went to pick her up' when I got that message earlier, I drove to the school and found out that they were already gone, so I tracked her location to where she was at the time, and for the rest of the day, I stalked them. I followed them secretly to the restaurant, then to the ice cream store, and to the park. I had to turn back when they started going home. Going home was the last thing on my mind because I didn't want to get frustrated by Mom, so I drove to the park to clear my head and get some rest. My life was like a living hell. I have everything at my disposal. Money? I have it, cars? It was the least of my problem, house? Don't even think about it. Even with all those luxuries, I still didn't have a happy life. Nothing seemed to be working for me. "What should I do?" I asked aloud as if I was talking to someone. "Just start all over again if you don't know what to do," It felt like a voice spoke in my head, but I
Chapter 75 Liam POV After pondering over what the woman said the whole night, I made up my mind that I'm going to do what she advised me to do, and who knows, maybe it'll work out for me. 'Let go of the past and start all over again. Win her back as a new man, not as someone you've been with before' I held on to those words and will work on it until the end. I checked my reflection in the mirror, then took my car keys and left my room after I was ready. The aroma coming from the kitchen welcomed me as I descended the staircase minutes later, and I knew that Mom must be making breakfast. Getting nagged this early morning was the last thing on my mind, so I walked silently toward the exit door, leaving the house silently. 'To win her back, you need to cross a dangerous boundary' Having that in mind, I have decided to do whatever it will take me to get to where I want to be. It may be rough, just as she had said, but I'm never backing off. I stopped by the florist store and got a b
Chapter 76Aliyah POVJeff didn't speak to me all through the day, and it was frustrating, but I never bothered to ask him what happened because I know exactly what is wrong with him. I would also be angry seeing my boyfriend being like that in front of his ex-wife, so I shouldn't feel sad. We couldn't go on our date the other day, all thanks to Liam. 'Let's start all over again' I scoffed unbelievably when those words echoed in my head for the fifth time today. I couldn't concentrate at work.How time flies, it was finally lunchtime, and I was expecting him to send me lunch today, but sadly, he didn't, so I gave up. He didn't text me to check on me like he used to do, and although it hurts, I couldn't blame him for it. "You should go talk to him, Aliyah, and maybe apologize to him," I made up my mind, then stood up and headed to the canteen where I got lunch and headed to his office. I planned to have lunch with him later.His secretary allowed me into his office freely without ask
Chapter 77Aliyah POVThe rest of my day at the office although was a bit boring, I was glad I made up with Jeff. The company has finally closed, and just when I was getting ready to leave, the door opened and Jeff walked inside."Are you ready to go home?" He asked me as he sat on the chair across from me, and I nodded my head."Hmm. I'm getting ready to leave. What about you? Are you going home too?" I asked him as I arranged my phone and charger inside my handbag."Not really. I need to see someone on my way home, so I'll be back pretty late. It's kind of an appointment," He replied to me, and I slowly nodded my head. I tried not to question him even though I was curious to know who he was going to see. I shouldn't be a freak just because he's my boyfriend, right?"Do you want me to get you something on my way back?" He asked me, and I thought about it for a while before I shook my head."Just come home early so we can watch a movie together," I smiled at him, and he nodded his he
