Chapter 43

Jeffrey Cooper

I huffed for the umpteenth time as his image kept popping into my head. I could always recognize that man even in my deep sleep. He was the same man that was harassing Aliyah the other day, and to think he was in her house earlier was crazy. What the hell was he doing there? I've been trying to figure that out since but couldn't come up with anything, so I guess I would have to wait until she gets better and resume work. Maybe we will talk about it then.

I left her house earlier after I got a call from the office that there was something urgent that needed my attention, so I had to rush down here immediately.

The rest of my day in the office was boring, but I left the office early since I was called to come to the hospital for the processing of Marcus's discharge papers.

I drove to the hospital and processed the papers, and when he was finally discharged, I drove us home. Before I got to the office today, Mom called me that something came up and she had to le

    Chapter 44Aliyah POVLiam has been extremely nice to me the last few days, and I have been enjoying every bit of it. I needed the attention, and I liked the fact that he gave it to me. I couldn't help but notice the sadness in his eyes when he saw Jeff here, but that didn't concern me, anyway.It was finally Monday, and since I was feeling much better today, I was going to resume work. "Good morning, Mommy. Did you sleep well?" Nancy asked me as I descended the staircase."Good morning, baby. Yes, I did. What about you, did you sleep well?" I asked as I squatted in front of her, stroking her hair and smiling at her."Hmm. How is your health now? Are you better?" She asked me, and I nodded my head, hugging her."Yes, baby. I'm much better now," I stood up when Liam walked into the living room, fully dressed. He was ready to take her to the school."Good morning, ma'am. Did you sleep well?" He asked me, and I nodded my head."Hmm. Thank you. I will head to work now," and with that, I

    Chapter 45The kiss was so intense that Aliyah couldn't think straight. All she wanted to do at the moment was to satisfy her desire. She was desperately in love with this man, and she knew he felt the same way for him, so why should she still hold back because of her insecurities? She asked herself, but unable to provide an answer to that question, she knew that there was no reason to hold back anymore. "I love you too, Jeff," those were the words he has been dying to hear, and hearing that made him stop kissing her abruptly. He pulled away from her, and raised his eyebrows."What did you say?" He asked to be sure he wasn't hallucinating, but she rolled her eyes and scoffed."I said I love you too," His heart jumped in joy and his mouth dropped open in shock. "You do? You really do? You are giving us a chance?" He asked excitedly, cupping her cheeks in his palms, and she nodded her head, a smile lingering on her face."You are going to accept me as your man?" He further asked again

    Chapter 47Liam POV I wanted to tell her the truth, but thinking about the agreement I had with Aliyah, I couldn't breach it, so I assured her that she would meet her dad real soon. The drive home was fun, and it was already past 8pm by the time we arrived home.My heart dropped nervously when we walked into the living room and found Aliyah sitting on the couch and staring into space. From the expression on her face, I knew she was mad at me."Mommy," Nancy squeaked excitedly, running into her arms, and she smiled at the little girl."How're you doing, baby?" She asked, squatting in front of Nancy."I went out with Uncle Liam after I left school. We had fun. You should've been there," Nancy pouted her lips, and she smiled at her forcefully."Baby, why don't you head upstairs? I want to have a word with Uncle Liam," she spoke to Nancy softly, and I knew it was about to go dirty. For a moment, I wanted Nancy to stay around because it won't be easy having her lash out at me, but then, I

    Chapter 48Aliyah POVI woke up earlier than usual and headed to Nancy's room to wake her up, and got her ready for school."Mommy, why are you the one getting me ready for school? Where is Uncle Liam?" She asked me as I buttoned the last button of her shirt."Uncle Liam traveled, dear. I will be the one taking care of you now," I replied to her, stroking her hair."He traveled? But we were together until evening yesterday and he didn't mention that he was going to travel," she uttered."He got a call after you went to bed, so he left very early this morning. He said he'll be back," I didn't have anything else to tell her other than that because I didn't want to hurt her feeling. To her, Liam would come back to still work as her nanny, but that will never happen.She didn't look happy about me attending to her and even dropping her off at school, but she never said a thing. After I dropped her off at school, I drove to the office. I somehow felt so refreshed now that Liam was gone, al

    Chapter 49Jeffrey Cooper It has been a couple of weeks since Aliyah and I started dating, and these last few days have been the best days of my life. Having the woman I've always craved, all to myself now. You can imagine the excitement, yeah?After going on one of our numerous dates in the last few days, I came back home this evening only to find my kids both crying while Marcus was sitting right there in the living room unbothered. I was shocked when I saw them like that, so I took them to the room and came back to join him in the living room. I have been ignoring the fact that he kept pushing my kids away ever since he moved in with me even though the little girls were doing everything they could, to get close to him. I guess he didn't just like the kids. Well, that's for the reason best known to him."How could you do that to those little kids? They were only trying to play with you, and besides, they didn't do anything to deserve scolding," I tried hard to be as calm as I could

    Chapter 50 Jeffrey Cooper My day at the office was boring and I couldn't help the thoughts of Marcus that wouldn't leave my head no matter how much I tried to push it away. I have been asking myself what the heck I did to him to deserve this, why he was suddenly this tough when we used to be best siblings, but the more I tried to figure out what happened, the more difficult everything seemed to be. The sound of my ringing phone pulled my attention, but I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone, so I ignored whoever the caller was. It was soon lunchtime, and as usual, I sent someone to deliver lunch to Aliyah who was now my girlfriend. I desperately wanted to see her, but I wasn't in the mood to see her like this, so it was best to stay here for now. For a moment, I thought of calling him because I was worried about him, but dismissed the thoughts immediately. What if he ignores my call? I asked myself, and knowing he might want to be spaced, I decided not to call him. "Just call him

    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

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. 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
