“And if we don’t? What are you going to do?” Jasmine asked. “Nothing, of course. Who am I to do something to the almighty adopted daughter of the Rossador family.”Yes, an adopted daughter. That was what she was. It is high time she starts knowing her place in the family and stops trying to take the place of the real daughter of the family. Perhaps she forgot how she came about in the family?“How ironic. An almighty adopted daughter that is far better than the real daughter herself. Have you seen something like that? Just leave with your bastard and we’ll be fine.”Izabelle clenched her fist. Not them calling her daughter a bastard for the second time on the same day. If they continued with this, she wasn’t sure that she was going to take it. “I guess you’ll have to pursue me then. I already told you not to worry. You can take whatever is in this house that belongs to me. My clothes, my shoes,” she paused to look at Jasmine’s hand. “I don’t even have to give you permission consider
“Your bastard daughter.” Izabelle slapping her today was surely going to ruin the reputation of her family. But she isn’t going to let her family ruin alone. She was going to take the Rossadors with her at all costs. “Yes, I’ll repeat it. YOUR BASTARD DAUGHTER.”Another slap followed after her statement. This time she almost fell on the floor if it wasn’t for her friends holding her and putting her back on her feet. Her hair which was straight previously was now scattered around her head and her makeup was slightly scattered. Her cheeks hurt like hell that she wondered what Izabelle put on her hands to make it hurt so much. She was surely going to need an ice presser for her cheeks. She raised her face again and glared at Izabelle. “One more word about my daughter and I’ll make sure you find yourself in the hospital.”“Just because I’m saying the truth and everyone is watching?” she laughed. “Come on, don’t be childish, Miss Rossador. Tell them the truth they all want to hear,” she
Murmurs and gasps were an understatement for the noise going on in the room right now. It was a huge understatement. The guests could hardly hear themselves as everyone was talking about the situation and the arrival of someone new to the hall who the child ran to shocked them to the brim. “Daddy,” Rosie called and immediately ran to Marcel who just got into the hall only to be met with a commotion. He was delayed due to traffic and getting here, this was what he met with. Someone openly said that his daughter was fatherless and Izabelle does not know the father of her child. He waited to see if Izabelle would reveal the truth and when she didn’t, he put things in his hands to reveal. “Daddy, the wicked auntie called me a bastard and keeps bullying Mommy.” He carried the child in his arms and moved to stand in front of Margie whose eyes were wide like that of three persons put together. She could feel her bones shaking and her eyes unable to finish registering the shock and slim d
“Now let me make this clear to everyone,” Marcel started. This child here is my daughter, our daughter and I will take it as a disrespect if anyone dares to bully her or call her a bastard.”Izabelle raised her head and stared at Marcel. Their eyes met. Never would she have imagined that he would announce to the world that he had a child with her. Definitely not this way. She knows how much Marcel hates being the talk of the city hit here he was declaring to everyone that Rosie was his daughter knowing fully well that he was going to be in the headlines for a week or more. The silence in the hall right then as he spoke the shocking words shook the guests to the core. Even Grandfather Rossador was shocked. He never expected that such a thing would happen today but he was happy that Marcel stops up for both the mother and child. Five years ago when he heard that Marcel got his granddaughter pregnant and after seeing the whole situation, he asked them to get married but who would have b
“Shut the fuck up. All I'm saying is true.”“How dare you publish that. If feel like strangling you.”“As if what's there is not true. Stop being a hypocrite and tell everyone the truth, okay? If you don't, I'll help you.”“Stop it!”The noise from outside her room walked Izabelle up the next day. She grunted as she sat up on the bed and stared at Rosie who was beside her. “Un un.”Rosie who was also woken by the noise started crying and only fell back asleep when her mother started patting her back and hugged her to her chest. “What noise is that?”She concentrated her ear to hear what they were saying and caught the voices. The voices belonged to Kathie and Jasmine. She could also hear the Grandfather and Jared’s voices. What were they arguing about? Because the argument started getting louder and harsher, Izabelle stood up from the bed still in her pajamas, and walked out of the room. The scene that she met outside made her eyes widen. The whole members of the family were on th
It was as if the world stopped for a moment as Kathie’s eyes widened as she slowly fell forward. Everything happened in slow motion and everyone’s eyes popped up in shock. Oh no!“Kathieee!”“Kathhh.”“Daughterrr.”Their hands fell forward as if they wanted to catch her but she was far away and already rolling down the stairs. Her big belly rolled with her. “Kathy,” Jared muttered as he took fast jumps down the stairs to go save his wife and their unborn child. He pushed Jasmine to the side and ran forward. God help him so she doesn't land on the floor because if she does, it will be in full force and it is going to be so bad. Luckily, before she could get to the landing, Jared managed to jump there before her and landed on the floor so that she ended up landing on his body.“Kathie.” “Mommy?” Before Izabelle could climb down the stairs, she heard the frightened voice of her baby. She was just coming out of the room with her pajamas and she just encountered the frightening scene of
“Doctor, how is she? My wife?”“I asked how my wife is?”“Calm down, sir.”“Don't ask me to calm down, dammit,” he ran his hands through his hair in frustration. His hand pulled at his hair and he almost hit the doctor when he came and held his shoulders. He wasn't going to listen to anyone even though everyone was screaming at him to calm the hell down. “Jared, let's hear what the doctor has to say. Stop acting this way,” Izabelle complained. “No…no,” his back traced the wall downwards and his butt landed on the floor, his hands on his head. Was he ready for what the doctor had to say? No, of course. He wasn't ready for that. That can't be. Before anyone could say anything, the door of the emergency room pushed open and the nurses wheeled the bed with Kathie on it. Her eyes were closed and she was looking as pale as ever. No one has ever seen her that pale. A nurse walked over to the grandfather and took the now-sleeping baby from him. Although the baby was looking normal like ev
“Fine then. You're really just going to stand there and not say anything? Huh, grandfather? Didn't you promise my grandfather that you were going to protect me and take me as your daughter? Is this how you're going to break your promise?” Jasmine started. “You are such a hypocrite. How I heard that the grandfather of the Rossador family always keeps to his promise but that is a big fat lie. A huge one.”“There’s nothing grandfather would do this time. He always saves you from every situation but not this time, okay? You did wrong and you should be punished,” said Izabelle. “Don't lecture me, you bitch. Don't you dare speak to me? If you know how much hatred I have for and how I urge to stab you to…”Suddenly, chills ran down her spine. She could feel cold eyes on her and as her gaze turned to the side, she saw Marcel glaring at her as if telling her that one more word from her to Izabelle would lead to something else which she wouldn't obviously like. His eyes were cold as they sent
