Chapter 51 Jeffrey POV "What the hell are you doing in my house?" He sounded so serious as he managed to sit on the bed, and I scoffed. "I should've left you to sleep at that bar. You are not in your house, dude. We are inside a hotel room, and you are drunk," I rolled my eyes at him, and he groaned, rubbing his fingers on his forehead. He seemed to still be drunk or having a hangover instead. "How did I get here? What says by the time?" He asked, and I scoffed. "You should check the time yourself," I rolled my eyes at him, and he sighed. I watched as he reached out lazily to his phone that was laying on the nightstand, checking the time. It was already past 7pm. "Ugh! It's past 7pm. How did I sleep for so long?" He asked as if he had no idea he got himself drunk. "What is wrong with you, Marcus? Why the heck were you so drunk?" I scolded him, and he scoffed. "I've told you to stop talking to me like that. I'm not a child anymore..." "Then you should stop acting like one. A g

Chapter 52 Aliyah POV The sound of my ringing phone pulled my attention as I got ready to leave the office, and I smiled excitedly when I checked and found that the caller was Jeffrey. He must be calling to remind me of our date. "Hey, pretty," his cheerful voice sounded from the other end as soon as I answered the call, and I blushed hard. "Hi," I managed to reply to him, my heart hammering against my chest. "I'm waiting for you at the garage. You should join me," he uttered, and I checked my wristwatch to see that it was almost 6pm. "Alright. Give me a few minutes to round things up here," I replied to him, then ended the call and proceeded to arrange my bag, leaving the office afterward. I soon joined him at the garage, and we left the company to the cinema where he already got the ticket for us. "Did you call your driver already?" He asked me, placing his hand on my hand which was on my thigh, and my heart fluttered. He was driving with one hand now. "Hmm. He should be on h

Chapter 53 Aliyah POV Although it has been a couple of days since Nancy said those words that have been living rent-free in my head, it was still hard to get it off. It was the weekend today, and we had plans that Jeff was going to pick us up for a tour to the park along with the kids. "Are you ok?" I asked Nancy when I walked inside the living room and found her sitting on the couch looking a bit sad. "Hmm," she replied to me, but I wasn't so foolish to believe her. I know her more than anyone else, and I always know whenever she was bothered about something. "Come on, baby. What's wrong? You know you can always speak to Mommy, right?" I pulled her into my arms, trying to talk her into telling me what was wrong with her. "Uncle Liam..." She pouted her lips, and the next thing was her bursting into tears, and I sighed briefly. Here I was, thinking she has gotten over him already, but it seemed like it was a dream that might never come true for me. "I want to speak to him," she

Chapter 54 Having Aliyah moving in with him was the biggest and happiest news Jeffrey has gotten in a while, so he couldn't be much happier. "You look happy this morning. Is there something you are hiding from us?" Emily asked her as they sat in the dining room together, having breakfast. "Yes, kids. Guess what?" He leaned forward and squeaked excitedly like someone that'd just won a lottery, so the kids glanced at each other. "What's it, Dad?" Ella asked first since she hated guessing games, and he beamed with smile. "So, I talked to Aunt Aliyah to come spend some time here with us along with Nancy, and she agreed," he finally released the news to them, and the kids glanced at each other confusingly. "What? Are you not happy about it?" He asked when they didn't show any sign of excitement, and Emily scoffed. "Why are they moving in?" Emily asked, and he knotted his eyebrows together confusingly. "That's what you've always wanted, kids. I mean, you love spending time with the k

Chapter 55 Later that evening... Liam checked his wristwatch for the fifth time, then glanced at the entrance door of the restaurant, and sighed deeply. He has been waiting for Aliyah for the past fifteen minutes and she was not there yet. The last few days without Nancy have been the worst days of his life. He could barely sleep, but everything became worse after he got a call from his Mom and had to rush back to LA about two days ago. The previous day... "What are you talking about, Mom?" Liam scoffed unbelievably, looking at the middle-aged enraged woman standing in front of her. With the striking resemblance between them, anyone would know that they are related, if they were not mother and son. "How could you still lie to me even after finding out about it, Liam? How could you have kept that secret for years? How could you?" Mrs. Henshaw, Liam's Mom snapped again, her eyes were filled with disappointment. It was unbelievable that this was the same boy she brought up, the boy

Chapter 56 Aliyah POV I drove home from the restaurant and pulled over at the parking lot, stepping out of the car and dragging myself toward the entrance door. Nancy was already in the living room by the time I walked inside, so she ran into my arms and hugged me tightly. "Welcome, Mommy. I've missed you so much," she pouted her lips, kissing my cheeks as I squatted down to her level. "I've missed you too, baby. How was school today?" I asked her, trying to act like nothing was happening, but deep inside me, I was bleeding from the pain that bastard has caused me. "It was fine. Mommy, did you cry?" My heart skipped when Nancy asked me. I was going to ask myself how she knew about it, but we've spent years together and this little girl knew me more than the back of her palm, so I wasn't surprised. "Are you ok?" She asked, looking worried. "Hmm. I'm fine. Mommy is just stressed from work," I replied to her, stroking her hair, and she slowly nodded her head. "You should rest the

Chapter 57 "Come on, Mom. Are you going to keep avoiding me? I told you I'm sorry, will you just please forgive me?" Liam pleaded with his Mom as he followed her to the living room, but she could only care less. It was still hard to believe that the son she trusted so much that he could never hurt anyone, actually did and kept it for years. No matter the angle she looked at it from, it was still hard to gather the pieces together. "Mom... Can you please speak to me? You've been keeping me at arm's length for days now, can you please speak to me?" Again, he whined, going to stand in her way this time, but she scoffed. "What should I talk about with an irresponsible man that couldn't even own up to his responsibility? What should I discuss with you?" Those words crushed his heart, but he wasn't in a position to be hurt, because this was all his fault. He was the one that hurt her in the first place, so he wasn't supposed to feel pained about whatever she was going to say t

Chapter 58 "You look happy today. Did something happen in school?" Aliyah asked Nancy as she led her to the car, holding her backpack. "Nothing, Mommy. I'm just in a good mood," Little Nancy smiled at her Mom excitedly. If only she hadn't promised Liam she wouldn't tell her Mom, then she wouldn't have hesitated to do it. "You're looking bright," She smiled at Nancy as she tucked her in the back seat and closed the door behind her, then went to the driver's seat and hopped inside. The ride back to her house started. "So, how was school today?" She asked, glancing at Nancy through the rearview mirror, and she smiled brightly. "School was fine, and I had fun," Nancy replied to her, and she nodded her head. She didn't want to ask her many questions. "I have good news to share," She smiled brightly, glancing at Nancy. "What is it, Mom?" Nancy asked in anticipation. "You remember the company I talked about some months ago, yeah? Hall Of Fame..." "

Chapter 116Two weeks laterAliyah POVI stared at my reflection in the mirror and smiled. It was finally the day I'd been waiting for these last few weeks. My wedding day. 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. The parking lot was filled with different expensive and beautiful cars which only me

Chapter 115Liam POVSpending all my time with my family now is all the happiness I need, and I'm glad that I'm getting all of it.Recounting the last few weeks of my life, I couldn't deny the fact that they were one of the happiest days of my life in these past few years. 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. You are not a coward, so you should go for what you want," I sai

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
