"Skylar."

The name of her supposed savior rolled off her tongue with ease and she chuckled, the look in her dazed eyes sparkling with joy and her lips curled into a smile.

However, despite looking so happy in her intoxicated state, Zacharie on the other hand, was frozen.

Amelie had just called him Skylar. He was not Skylar.

It was a name he had never heard before, and a name he was not familiar with, and yet, for some odd reason, he felt his heart ripple and the hairs on the back of his neck rise.

Amelie on the other hand, had not noticed that the man sitting beside her was not her savior.

She mumbled a few incoherent words and reached out her hand to ruffle his hair like Benjamin Always did and then slowly slipped back into the abyss of her sleep, groaning a few times to indicate that she wasn't totally out.

Zacharie was shocked.

He sat there, watching her with wide eyes.

She had ruffled his hair like he was some child! And mistook him for someone else.

"Skylar, you're a big liar." S

    "Your grandmother simply p*ssed out from some stress." Jessica, Francesca bed side doctor, informed as she jolted down notes and prescription on her medical Clipboard.Zacharie watched her with his arms folded across his chest. His gaze flicked from his sleeping grandmother and her attending doctor from time to time."This are a few prescriptions I've written down, please be sure to show this to your family doctor and have him administer them to her." Jessica handed the note to Eric who collected it in Zacharie's stead. "Apart from the sudden rise in stress levels, she's okay and simply needs to rest for a short period of time. That's all for now, so I'll be taking my leave." She concluded, rising to her feet."I appreciate." Zacharie began, moving to his grandmother's side instead of the doctor. He instructed. "Eric, see her out.""Understood, sir."With that, Eric and Jessica made their way out the room, leaving the old woman and her grandson alone.Zacharie's gaze softened as he lo

    "Mommy!"Miguel and Michelle rushed into the room and threw themselves at Amelie the moment the door had come open.Amelie, being as she just woke up and all, grunted from the impact and fell backwards into the comfortable material of her bed, chuckling at her loveable children's antiques."Good morning." She greeted, her tone soft and filled with love."Good morning Mommy!" Miguel greeted back, pulling away and grinning from ear to ear.Michelle on the other hand, did not move.She hugged her mother tighter and buried her head in the crook of Amelie's neck."Good morning, mommy." She whispered and snuggled closer."Is everything okay?" Amelie asked as she gently stroked her daughter's hair.Michelle shook her head, denying the obvious fact. She didn't want to bother her mother with her silly worries.Amelie was already back home and safe, and that was all that mattered to her. So instead of voicing her inner thoughts, she said, "No, I just felt like hugging you. Like a real big hug."

    Amelie sat in one of her dining chairs, staring at the brown package she had picked outside, while Michelle and Miguel played outside in the backyard.It had been nearly 30 minutes since she had returned inside after finding the package, and the entire time, she had just been sitting there, staring at it and wondering where it came from. Or rather, who it came from.The label on it didn't hold any names, and she had no clue on who could have sent her the package.Her finger gently ran across the brown package and her eyes narrowed in further confusion."Where did this come from?" She wondered out loud and finally decided to open it, curiosity winning over her.Upon pealing open the package, her brows narrowed further seeing a brown envelope, a card, and a ring inside it.She reached for the envelope first, pealing the top open to reveal the test results of the necklace.Her eyes widened upon seeing the papers that she had thought were for her eyes alone.Next was a black card with a d

    Staring at the paused video image, Michelle and Miguel glanced at each other, leering smiles of their own each painting their lips."I know what to do!" They both chorused at the same time, smiles fading only seconds later."I'm older, so let's go with my suggestion." Michelle uttered."Older by only a minute and three seconds." Miguel retorted with a huff."Mommy says you should always obey me. I'm your senior." She fought back."Senior in body but junior in mind. I'm smarter and more mature than you." Miguel fired back."Well... well..." Michelle stumbled with her reply. "Mommy said the oldest gets to make the important decisions and you're younger." She blurted, crossing her arms. "Besides, this was my idea, so I get to make it happen, not you.""It was your idea to make this happen, but I am the one with the skills. So, if anything, I should be the one calling the shots here.""But mommy said—" Michelle started."Mommy's not here Elle, she currently having dinner with Uncle Skylar

"Still the same shy city mouse that considers others your foil character." She stated, walking past her, and towards the mirror."What are you doing here?" Amelie finally managed to ask, her voice barely above a whisper.The blonde looked away from her reflection and met her gaze, the smirk on her lips widening."Well that's some way to welcome a friend, oops, I nearly forgot we aren't friends." She said.Her words made Amelie grind her teeth. She was still the same annoying person from eight years ago.Jasmine Alvarez.Amelie and Jasmine have known each other for eight years and have only been friends for four months. Their friendship was short lived, it only lasted for four months, a year after Benjamin had found Amelie and introduced her to the clique which consis

    Earlier that day,Zacharie had been working in his office, trying to catch up with all the work he had neglected over the past few days when Odette had barged into the room, the action startling him."Odette." He called out as the female approached him."Zacharie, it's a Saturday, why are you still in the office?" She asked, placing her hands on her hips."Because I need to catch up with some work. Plus, what about you, shouldn't you be home?" He asked, pushing the documents he was reading aside and moving onto a new one."At home?" She questioned. "Are you forgetting something? You know, like some sort of occasion?" The edge to her time suggested that Zacharie was indeed forgetting something.However, the male did not bother racking his brain, and with his gaze still fixed on the paper, he asked. "What is it?""Zacharie," Odette breathed out, unbelieving of the fact that despite the numbers of times she had song the melody of their upcoming date today, Zacharie had still forgotten.H

    "Stupid date?" Odette retorted, eyes crinkling at Zacharie's statement. "Okay, now you're just being mean.""Mean? Odette, are you aware that my grandmother fainted yesterday? And that she's currently hospitalized? But not once have you gone to visit her, instead you spent your time planning, this out."Odette thought of arguing back, but clammed her mouth shut, lowering her head and apologizing. "That was insensitive of me. But in my defense,.I had work to do."Immediately after her words, Zacharie slammed his hand down on the table. "d*mn work. You're so eager to become her granddaughter-in-law, yet you don't even act like it." He said and suddenly he leaned further. "Tell me something Odette, were you actually the one I slept with eight years ago?"His question shocked Odette, and she felt a shiver run down her spine.Why was he suddenly asking this question? Did he know something? Had someone said something?Possibilities of being exposed roamed Odette's mind and she internally be

    Staring at both Zacharie and Odette, Amelie couldn't help but look like she had just seen a ghost, while on the inside, she cursed.'Shit. Just great!'"Ms. Arnaud, it really is you." Odette said as she approached Amelie, hand folded across her chest and her voice having a tint to it that made Amelie crease her brows in confusion.Was that...was that anger she heard? Amelie thought, finding the idea hard to believe since Odette was always so polite and joyful each time they met.Instead, she cleared her mind, momentarily ignoring the glare Jasmine was giving her and the unreadable stare Zacharie was giving her, and bowed her head curtly."Hello, Ms. Aubert." She greeted."Fancy meeting you here.""I could say the same."Odette chuckled and glanced over to Zacharie who was watching the entire situation play out, his eyes glued on Amelie and his fists clenching and unclenching."Yeah, the restaurant we're currently at is owned by the LaCroix's.

    Florida was a place more comfortable than Amelie could have expected. It had sunny beaches and humble neighbors and fresh air.Although it could not hold a candle when being compared to the beauty of Paris, she was growing to love it here and it was growing on her children as much as it was growing on her.Two years, Amelie and the twins has been living in Florida for the past two years, and in these two years, she had managed to find a job and earn a lot of money and even opened her own hospital.The children were enrolled in a private elementary school each in their final years of elementary and they were having a blast.It was perfect and Amelie couldn't be more happier.At least, that's what she wanted to believe.She had a feeling her happiness was yet to come, but for now, this would have to do."Mommy, when's dinner?"

    The week following the whole disastrous event was unnaturally peaceful.Amelie didn't complain as it gave her enough time to secretly look for a new place for she and the twins without them knowing anything about it and it also gave her enough time to gather her things and once again, secretly some of their.The reason why she was doing things in secret from them was because the last time they had moved from England back to France, the twins had thrown a fit, refusing to leave after just settling down perfectly in their new school.And right now, it was a silly case of Deja Vu.“Not gonna go around and say your farewells." Florence asked as she slipped Into Amelie office while she was packing the last of her things."I'd rather not." Amelie replied, glancing around."Well, at least bid me goodbye."

    Amelie arrived home later than day with a puffy face and red eyes.The lights were off and the house was quiet.It was obvious that Miguel and Michelle were fast asleep. Gently tip toeing over to their room, she cracked the door open slightly and stepped inside, seating at the edge of their bed and stroking their head gently, not wanting to wake them."Michelle, Miguel, mommy won't be able to make your wish come true. You won't be able to have Zacharie LaCroix as your new daddy." She whispered."Mommy will be the only one to be there for you from now on." She promised, the words leaving a sour taste in her mouth.She didn't want to be the only one, she wanted Miguel and Michelle to have a happy family. Just like the dream she had of them all being in one big happy house."I'm sorry, guys."As she apologized, a tear rolled down her cheek and landed on the bedsheet, staining the fabric.Wiping the remaining tears, Amelie leaned forward and kissed her children's forehead, smiling slightl

    Zacharie was stunned to hear what she was saying.Eight years ago?He had forced himself on her? Had they met the first time back in the scan room?That didn’t make sense.He hadn’t even been in any woman ever since that night and that woman had committed suicide, had she not?“what the h*ll are you talking about, Amelie?” He finally asked, his brows deepen in confusion.“Don’t play innocent with me, Zacharie. I saw the tape. I know it was you.” She said, taking a step forward and jabbing her index finger into his chest.Zacharie’s eye twitched and he grabbed her hand. “Look, I don’t know what kind of nonsense you’re spewing, I haven’t slept with any woman in eight years, not even Odette.”“Liar.” She sneered and ripped her hand out of his grip. “You’re a lying scumbag. I’m not the only one that knows the truth.”“The truth?”“That you tainted an innocent girl, Zacharie. That night, I begged you to stop. I knew nothing of my step mother and sister’s plot and I begged you, I tried reas

    "Zacharie LaCroix." Amelie uttered, her voice barely above a whisper. "Zacharie LaCroix..."As the video continued, and showed the two of them leaving the hotel, Amelie remained speechless, her mind a mess and her body unmoving.Her thoughts were jumbled and she felt the need to throw up.How could she not have seen it?It was obvious from the beginning.Now that she thought hard about it, Miguel was similar to Zacharie in some ways. The mole underneath his eyes, the same eye colors and even Michelle had some similarities to him.They both shared the same blood diseases.Like father like daughter.Just the thought of that alone almost made Amelie throw up."Oh my God." She breathed, finally standing up.Her legs were shaking, her hands trembling and she was sure her heart was beating fast."Calm down." She whispered to herself. "Calm down, it's not real. There has to be an explanation for all of this." She re*ssured herself and stood up, stumbling ever so slightly in her steps and nea

    Zacharie kept true to his words, because two days after the entire incident, he showed up at the hospital, ready to begin or at least finalize the procedure of his new treatment plan."So, how is this going to work?" Zacharie asked, leaning back in the chair as he stared at Amelie."Well, the plan is very simple and straightforward, and very easy to execute." Amelie explained. "We'll have you come here and inject a serum I will prepare. This will be a one time process and will only last about thirty minutes.""One time?""Yes." She confirmed. "The serum is simply to cleanse your inner system. After that, a blood transfusion would follow.""I see. And then?""After the transfusion, there will be a period of recovery and rehabilitation, but it's not really necessary. We can skip that step. I'll provide you with some tablets that will help with the process and that will be all." She concluded."However, there is just one problem.""What is it?" Zacharie asked, sensing the worry in her vo

    "This is all your fault." Odette accused, turning to glare at Amelie. "I hope you're happy now. You ruined everything. Not only did you cost me my engagement, you also had the guts to show up in such a revealing dress and try to seduce my fiance. What a shameful b*tch.""Odette that's enough!" Zacharie fiercely demanded. "Haven't you done enough?""You're right. I have. And I'm sorry. It was just... vitamins I slipped in. I went to the doctors the other day and they recommended some vitamins for you. But I knew you wouldn't take anything that has not been prescribed by your doctor so I tried to slip it in. I'm really sorry." Odette begged."Just vitamins, huh?" Zacharie asked and snapped his finger. Instantly, Eric appeared with the gl*ss of wine and handed it to Zacharie. "If you say so, then drink it.""W-what?""Drink it." Zacharie repeated."I-""I'm sure there's no harm if it's just a few vitamins.""Zach, are you kidding? It's a full gl*ss.""It is. But if it's just vitamins, li

    "This drink is contaminated?" Zacharie questioned. "What do you mean by that?""Well the thing is..." Amelie began, looking like she was hesitant to speak. "The thing is..."Before she could complete her word this time around, Odette quickly took her hand and dragged her away."What are you doing? Let go." Amelie demanded, trying to pull her hand free.Odette did not comply until they were separated from the crowd, standing someplace near the balcony."What are you doing?" Amelie asked once more."I could say the same for you." Odette challenged, folding her hand over her chest."What?" Amelie blinked twice, not understanding."Why did you say that the drink is contaminated? What's your purpose for lying?""I didn't lie." Amelie retorted, clearly remembering what she has seen when she stepped out of the balcony.Odette had dropped something into the wine gl*ss, and although Amelie couldn't figure out what exactly it was, she wasn't about to just let Zacharie drink whatever concoction

  • Mommy, Daddy Is A Billionaire!   Chapter 88 Was She Going To Get Exposed?

    Over the weekend and until she was discharged, Amelie continuously told herself not to misunderstand Zacharie's words.He had only said all that in a bid to calm the rowdy twins down and it meant nothing.She continued to tell herself that, dissuading both her heart and head from growing any sort of attachment to the words that meant nothing. That reality however, was smacked even harder in her face as the day she got discharged and went home, she was met with an invitation letter from Odette.Her birthday was tomorrow and Zacharie was holding a banquet for her and she had been invited.Staring at the letter in her hand, Amelie felt sore. She had nearly forgotten the fact that Zacharie had a fiancée who loved him very much.Not only that, she was pretty and kind and everything in all that could make a perfect wife. Unlike her, an already spoilt product.Amelie gritted her teeth at the comparison. Why was it angering her so much?Why did it have to do with her if Odette was a perfect w
