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

    Chapter 78Liam POVI guess I made the right decision, leaving everything behind and starting all over again. Although it didn't seem like it was working smoothly, I still liked the flow of it. Having her around me makes me excited and I could notice how fast my heart beat whenever I saw her smile. I wished I could stop time from moving, so I could be with her forever, but that's the tiniest of the impossible things that can be done by humans.We finally arrived at the restaurant where I already booked a reservation before we got there. The place was nice and they had expensive and delicious meals here which I was sure she would enjoy."We are here," I announced when I pulled over at the parking lot of the restaurant. I quickly went to get Nancy from the backseat."Look at you... Your hair is messed up," I pouted my lips, squatting in front of her and arranging her hair for her, and she blushed."You are so nice, Daddy. I'm glad for choosing you as my Daddy. Don't worry, you are going

    Chapter 79Jeffrey smiled as he watched Marcus eat slowly, picking on his food. After he found out why his beloved brother has been like this for years, he has been trying to get close to him again and make him feel safe with him like he used to, and so far, it has been working."Why are you staring at me like that? You are going to make my skin crawl," Marcus rolled his eyes as he dropped the spoon he was using to eat."Don't mind me and just eat your food," He replied to him, and he scoffed."How am I supposed to eat comfortably when you are busy staring at me? You are not even touching your food? Ugh! I feel like disappearing from here," Marcus complained."I shouldn't have hung out with you in the first place. You are always full of annoyance," Marcus further complained, but deep down, nobody was enjoying this more than the way he was. It felt like hanging out with a woman he was madly in love with. How much he has missed this so much in recent years. Although, they have still hun

I was finally going to get married to Liam, and I didn't have any regret neither am I regretting the decision I made weeks ago. We were having a big wedding at the villa."Mommy, we should start going already. We can't keep Daddy waiting," Nancy whined, and I rolled my eyes. Does she only care about her Dad?

Coming back to them was a hard decision, but I'm glad I made and stood by it. I'm glad that I never gave up, and even when I did, I'm glad fate brought us together again, but too bad that we may not spend enough time together this time."It's OK, Liam. Just cherish the rest of the days you have with them and take the sweet memories to your grave and live by them in the hereafter," I said to myself, but if only it was easy, wouldn't I be grateful to my maker?The door opened and Aliyah walked inside. She smiled and came to hug me from behind, and my heart skipped. I love the way she makes me feel."Let's stay like this. Just for a moment," She whispered, resting her head on my back, and I smiled.

    Chapter 114Liam POVMy heart beat rapidly against my chest, and as I kissed her, I wished this moment last forever. How much I've missed this moment so much, just how much I've been wanting to do this again, and now that I have her in my arms, my lips on hers, my tongue exploring her mouth and fighting for dominance, then all I wanted at the moment was for this to never end.I pulled away from her when we were breathless. I held her face in my palms, those sexy eyes piercing into mine and it felt like she was seeing right through me. Something I loved. Is she really mine? Will nothing ever come in between us again? I asked myself, but recalling that death would soon come knocking at the door and I would eventually have to give in to it, I scoffed silently. Can't I be given another chance? Why the heck does this have to happen to me now that I finally have her by my side? I asked myself, but my thoughts were disrupted when she leaned forward and pecked my lips, her eyes piercing into

    Chapter 113Two weeks onAliyah POVHow time flies? It has been one week since Liam got discharged, and I've been by his side since then even though he never liked the idea and kept pushing me away. I know I deserve it, anyway. I thought I was doing everything for my daughter, but over the last weeks since I've spent most of my time with him, I've come to realize how much of a changed man he is. I've come to realize that although I lost feelings for him in the past, a part of me still has a twinge of feelings for him. A part of me wanted to work things out and stick around with this man for the rest of my life, and that is what I've decided on."Why are you smiling, Mommy?" Nancy's voice pulled me out of trance, and that was when I realized that I was smiling."Me? Nothing much. Just thought of something," I smiled again, and then she leaned forward and smiled too."Mommy, is it about Daddy?" How she was able to guess so fast was amazing, and the wide smile on her face when I nodded m

    Chapter 112Marcus POVTears brimmed in my eyes as I stared at her. I couldn't deny the fact that I've missed her so much. I mean, I was just seeing her again after several years. I thought I hated her, but seeing the tears in her eyes and how vulnerable she looked, I didn't know what I felt anymore. I didn't know if this was still hatred or if this was me missing her all this while."Mom has been through a lot. She has tried to reach out to you severally but you cut her off completely. You didn't want to see her...""And why the fuck should I see her? Do I have any reason to?" I turned to face Jeff who was already on his feet. "Are you blaming me now for being like this when it's obvious whose fault this is? Are you saying that this was all my fault when it's clearly not?" I scoffed unbelievably. I didn't want to shed a drop of tears in front of her, but I couldn't hold it back anymore."Does she deserve to be called a mother when all she ever did was hurt me?""Marcus! Mind the way

    Chapter 111Marcus POV"You should tell her how sorry you are and get back together. You are still in love with her, so don't hold back," Jeff tried to sound as much convincing as he could. He has been on with this for the last few days, trying to convince me to get back together with Chloe, but there's no way I was ever going to agree to that. She won't ever forgive me for treating her like that in the past, so what was the point of trying?"Ugh! Are you going to keep being like this?" I whined frustratingly."I shouldn't have told you about it in the first place," I further complained, and he scoffed."You are crazy, Marcus. You know I was never going to give up trying. Just give this a chance before it's too late.. ""It's already too late, Jeff. I told you what happened between us. I ditched this lady for no reason...""You were not mature then. You were scared of taking responsibility for your relationship, and now you are mature enough to handle things. Why don't you at least tr

    Chapter 110Sunshine POVMy heart pounded hard against my chest as I stood in front of the door. My hands were sweaty, and beads of sweat formed on my forehead. Am I ready for this? I asked myself to be sure of what I was about to do, but at this point, I needed to get this off my chest and be fine. I would continue to suffer in silence if I were to keep hiding this."Let's go for this," I whispered, reaching for the doorknob, but I removed my hand immediately and stepped away from the door. What if I get rejected? What if he ends up throwing me out of his house? Where will I go from here? For an abandoned orphan without a family who has been living years of her life in a rough phase before I got a chance to be here, I didn't want to leave this place because that would mean that I would have to go back to the street which may not be favorable for me again like it was before."It's fine even if you get rejected, Sunshine.

    Chapter 109Liam POV How did we get here? I asked myself the same question I've been asking for the last six days that I've been here. How did I suddenly get diagnosed with brain glioma? I never felt like something was off with me, so how the fuck did I end up like this after getting drunk just once.That day, I was so frustrated and I thought maybe having a few glasses of alcohol at the bar would help clear my head, but that seemed to be the biggest mistake I ever made in my life because I've been regretting it. Who knows, maybe this would've been avoided if I hadn't gotten drunk. At least, that's what I thought, but have I stopped to think about when this has been there? 'You have just eighteen months to live' I scoffed as the Doctor's words replayed in my head, and I slowly tightened my fingers around the window frame while staring out of it.The sound of the footsteps in the room pulled my attention, and as the familiar perfume filled the air, I didn't need to look to confirm th

    Chapter 108Aliyah POVI placed my palm on his forehead after I removed the damp towel from it, and I was glad that his temperature had come down, unlike earlier when it was so high.I carefully dropped the bowl on the ground and pulled the duvet to cover him, but he held my hand, stopping me from doing it, and I was forced to look at him for the first time since I'd been avoiding his gaze since he woke up."I'm fine. I will take care of it," It's crazy how he was still able to claim he was fine even after all the pain he had been through. How he was still trying to hide the obvious. Is he trying to act like he is strong or what?"It's fine," I muttered and pulled the duvet to cover him."Are you ok? Are you hungry? Do you need me to get you something to eat?" He must have felt weird by the way I suddenly started to treat him, but everything I was doing was genuine. I feel bad for him for being in this situation. "Hmm. I'm fine," He replied to me blankly, and I slowly nodded.I sat o
