Chapter 92

Aliyah POV

I stood in front of Jeff's office, scared of going inside. I was scared of facing him. I held the resignation letter tightly in my hands, my heart pounding hard against my chest as if it would force its way out of me anytime soon. It has been five days since we broke up, or since he broke up with me rather, and I haven't seen him since then. Of course, I've just been home and never had the energy to do anything.

I mustered enough courage and finally pushed the door open, walking inside. Cassie, his secretary was in her spot as usual, so I stopped to ask her if Jeff was inside.

"No, he went out a few minutes ago. Is there a problem?" She asked me, and I shook my head.

"No, it's nothing. Uhm... Can you help me give this to him when he comes back, please?" I stretched the brown envelope to her, and she stared at me for a few seconds before taking it from me.

"Thank you," I said to her, and she nodded. I left her office afterward.

I left the company and drove to the

    Chapter 93Aliyah POVAs expected, I woke up sad this morning and not feeling the birthday energy I usually feel on my birthdays. To me, this was just like every other day since Nancy wasn't here to wish me a happy birthday.Sitting on the bed, I reached for my phone and checked through it to see if anyone wished me a happy birthday, but nobody did, and that even hurt more no matter how much I tried not to think about it."Phew! I guess no birthday wishes for me this year," I breathed out, then gathered my strength together and dragged myself into the bathroom where I had a long and relaxing bath, and coming back into the room minutes later, I found my phone's screen light on."Did someone send me a message?" I mumbled, uplifting my hope as I went for the phone, but I rolled my eyes when I checked the phone and found that it was a call from Liam."Why is he calling me?" I scoffed and tossed the phone on the bed. Since I wasn't planning to do anything or go anywhere today, I just dress

We danced together, and I couldn't deny that I missed us so much.We left the party quite late and since she couldn't go back to her house, I had to drive us to my apartment as it was close by and because Nancy insisted that they spend the night with me. My mom was the happiest woman on earth when Aliyah came around and she did her best to impress her, and guess the crazy thing she did? She made Nancy sleep in her room just so I and Aliyah would have space to talk alone in my room.Walking back into the room after I shower, I found her sitting on the bed when she was supposed to be sleeping."You are still awake?" I asked her, and she scoffed."H

    Chapter 95Aliyah POVIt was a hard decision to make, but also a sacrifice I was ready to make for the happiness of my child. She has been there for me all these years, the only one that has been by my side through thick and thin, and this shouldn't be much of a sacrifice, right?"Aliyah... You really don't have to do this if you don't want to," Liam shook his head as he held my hand warmly, his eyes piercing into mine intensely. The look in his eyes said otherwise. He was happy about this, he has desperately wanted this all along, but I guess he didn't want to force me into this."I'm not doing this for you, so you don't have any right to tell me what to do," I stated coldly, and he slowly nodded his head."I promise... I'm going to win your heart all over again. I won't ever make you have a reason to frown let alone shed tears. You won't ever regret this," He had a promising expression on his face, the sincerity in his eyes tells that he was saying the truth, but still, I found it a

    Chapter 96Aliyah POV"Are you moving in with me?" He asked, his voice was laced with excitement. We were standing on the balcony of his room and staring at the sky together."Hmm... I guess so," I nodded my head, and even though I didn't spare him a glance, I knew what his expression would be like. Silence crept in the atmosphere, and I didn't know what to think. I wasn't feeling sad nor bad about my decision, and it was weird."I know I'm not a great guy... I've hurt you before and don't deserve a second chance with you... But I'm going to make it up to you this time. I'm going to win your heart back again..." He broke the silence, and I glanced at him."Hmm," I just hummed."I can't move in with you without getting married, so you need to start making plans. Nancy's birthday is in less than a month. We should get married before then," Everything seemed rushed, but I didn't see any reason why I should delay things knowing that this is what we would still do later, anyway."Alright.

    Chapter 97Liam POVI watched as Nancy slept peacefully. I had just put her to sleep.I didn't want to be jealous or think about it, but no matter how much I tried, I couldn't still help it. It's normal for me to be like this, yeah? I mean, I am madly in love with her, and that man he is going to meet is still in love with her too even though he already broke up with her."There's no need to be like this, Liam. You should trust her," My subconscious mind reminded me, and even though I knew that Aliyah wasn't someone like that, but in a case where the heart is involved, then I doubt if there is anything called trust or restriction. They are still in love with each other, and that is one thing I was very much scared of."Don't think about it, Liam. Just don't," I whispered, rubbing my forehead on my forehead to get myself distracted, but having a weird horrible image popping up in my head every damn second, having wild imagination of them together was something killing me and I didn't k

    Chapter 98'It was all your fault! Why don't you stay the hell away from him now? Is it until he dies? Is that when you will learn to leave him be? You already ruined him. You fucking ruined his happiness!' As those words replayed in my head, I couldn't stop the tears that streamed down my cheeks. Seeing how helpless he was on the hospital bed, and how he was badly hurt makes me feel so guilty. Sunshine was right. It was my fault. Maybe I shouldn't have ever accepted him in the first place.Blaming Liam for everything was the craziest shit I could think of. I mean, if I had made my decision and stuck by it, he wouldn't be able to force me, right? If I had fought for my love for Jeff and insisted on being with him, then Liam would've given up, right? But I chose my child over him. That is how it should be, right? That is what every mother would do, right? Making sacrifices for the sake of their child. Every mother in my shoes would do that, I guess.As much as I wanted to accept my fat

Slowly, I clenched my fingers into a tight fist as I stared into space, my heart wrenched painfully. I wanted to confront Marcus for saying those words to her earlier, but I couldn't bring myself to hurt my brother again. Although I broke up with her, I didn't want anything more than to see her happy and living well."Are you ok, Sir?" I turned to find Sunshine walking into the balcony. She was still wearing the same clothes she wore yesterday, and from the look of things, she didn't look like she had bathed or eaten anything."Hmm. I'm fine. I didn't know you were still here," I stated, and she nodded her head."Hmm. I'm fine. How are you feeling now? Your leg," She pointed to my casted leg, and I nodded my head after glancing at my leg."It's pretty much better now," I replied to her, and she slowly nodded. "Uhm... Do you want to eat anything?

    Aliyah POVI contacted my driver to come get my car from Nancy's school, so we left in Liam's car.The drive was silent, many thoughts lingered on my mind as I stared out through the window, feeding my eyes with nothing. "Jeff..." I was forced to turn my attention to Liam when I heard him call Jeff, and I was stunned when I found him having all of his attention focused on driving."Pardon?""Can you stop thinking about him and give us a chance?" He asked out of the blue moon, and my jaw dropped. He pulled over at the side of the road and turned his attention to me."I know you are doing this for the sake of our daughter... You don't love me anymore, but I'm determined to win your heart back..." He paused and bit his lip."If you are still stuck with him, then it's going to be difficult to win you back. For the sake of our child that you are doing this, can you please stop thinking about him?" With his eyes piercing into mine, he spilled those words, and my lips parted on their own."

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? I was soon done with everything, so I left with Nancy and the make-up artist who came to dress me up. My driver drove us to the villa in the decorated car.My heart pounded hard against my chest, my hands were sweaty as he drove us to the villa. Although I was excited about this day, I was still nervous.As if Nancy read my nervousness, she held my hand and smiled at me.The drive to the villa was brief and we were soon there.

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
