"Mommy, will be back soon, okay?"

"Where are you going again, Mom?" Maddie asked, sobbing.

I knelt before the twins and placed my hands on their shoulders, trying not to break down in front of them and tell them that their grandfather, whom we visited at the hospital two days ago, was dead.

"I'm going to work and will be back as soon as I can. Penelope will take care of you and will call me so that I can talk with you whenever you miss Mommy, okay?"

William nodded as he rested his head on my shoulder and hugged me while Madison sobbed.

It broke my heart that I couldn't take the kids with me, but I didn't want to risk anything happening that I wasn't prepared to happen.

"I will come back soon, and we will all go shopping, play games, and go swimming," I promised them as William leaned back from me. "Just like we used to. How does that sound?"

"Are you sure you will be back soon this time?" Maddie asked as she wiped off the tears from her cheeks.

"Yes, and I will take yo

    •DARLA•"What are you doing here?" She asked after closing the door behind her and walked toward me. I quickly got up from the bed and hid the doctor's report behind me, trying to calm my racing heart from making it obvious that I was snooping around. "I'm sorry, Mom," I cleared my throat and pretended to wipe my eye with my free hand. "I was looking at Dad's pictures, and I kind of lost track of time. I'm sorry." She arched her eyebrows, clearly not convinced by my answer or perhaps suspecting that I was hiding something behind me. "Get out of my bedroom before I call security on you." She pointed her finger at me. "If I ever see you again in my house, I will make sure that you rot in jail. Do you hear me?" I frowned at her statement because even though she couldn't hide the fact that she hated me and everything that had to do with me, I was still Benjamin's daughter and had every right to come to his house. "But this is my father's house, and as far as I am concerned," I close

    •ELIJAH•"Miss Hayes!" The doctor squealed when we walked inside his office and sat down. "It's a pleasure to see you again. Is this the new father?" He asked as he looked at me. Abigail's smile almost reached her ears as she grabbed my hand and caressed her lower belly with her other free hand. "Yes. This is my fiance." "It's a pleasure to have you here, Mr. Houston." And so he knew me. "I am sure that Miss Hayes was very kind to speak well of my services and how I am very dedicated to making sure that you both bring a healthy child into this world." I smiled at the doctor as I gently slipped my hand from Abigail's hand, irritated by the fact that she always wanted to display a happy union to people when she knew that I was no longer interested in making our relationship work. "Thank you, Dr. Jones. We are here for Abigail's check-up and to make sure that the baby is well." "Of course, let me take you guys to the ultrasound room to have a look at your baby." When we got to the

    •DARLA•Early in the morning, I woke up and prepared myself for my meeting with Dr. Jones, who had promised to get my father's report from the hospital, so that we could find out what might have happened to him. I was willing to pay him any amount of money that he wanted just for me to get to the bottom of what happened to him. Even though I wasn't close to my father before his death, he was still my father, and he and I were very close before Belinda got between us and poisoned the relationship that we had.After getting out of the shower, my cell phone rang and I rushed to pick it up, thinking that it was Dr. Jones, but it was Ethan. I rolled my eyes and released an exhausted sigh as I answered the call. "Yes?""Darla, my love. How are you?" 'My love?' I scoffed. "I'm fine, Ethan. How are you?" "I miss you. It's been two days now, and I'm getting very anxious about what's happening between us. I honestly do not want to lose you over anyone. It took me so long to gather the cour

    •ABIGAIL•"Hey, bestie." "Hey, you!" Alec squealed as he got up from his chair and embraced me. When he pulled away, I sat down on my chair and looked around the new lunch spot that he had invited me to. There was a river nearby, and the place was breathtaking."Look at you, all glowing and stuff." "Stop, you're making me blush." I giggled as I took the menu pad on the table and looked for something to drink.Alec and I had known each other for 10 years, and he was my best friend. He and I met while we were in college and have been in contact ever since."So, how are things going with you and Elijah? Your sister told me that you guys are still planning for a wedding. Come on, it's been 4 years now. What is he waiting for?" Ugh, Kathrine couldn't help but mind her own business. She always had something to say even when she didn't even have to bother herself to say anything, especially to Alec. I sighed as I put down the menu pad on the table. With Alec, I couldn't pretend. He knew

    •ELIJAH•"Darla!" I screamed in horror as I ran to push her from the road when I saw a car rushing toward her. I felt like my whole world was flashing right before my eyes, and it sent shivers throughout my body, and my heart raced, threatening to stop if anything happened before I got to her. I breathed in relief when I grabbed her waist and pulled her from the road, causing her to land on top of me. "Elijah..." She breathed when she opened her eyes and saw me underneath her."Are you okay?" I asked as I released a sigh of relief that nothing happened to her. The car didn't even stop, but that didn't matter because she was right here with me, and well. I knew right at that moment that I couldn't live without her. She made my heart race, and the thought of losing her forever caused me chest pains. I didn't even know what I had to do to win her over, but since I had sworn to do anything to get her back, no matter the cost, I decided to talk with her again. "I'm fine. Thank you f

    •DARLA• "I have someone inside who can help us with getting your father's file. I hope you have enough money because it won't be cheap." I knew that I was putting Dr. Jones's license at risk, but I didn't have a choice. I had to know what happened to my father and get him justice. "Money won't be a problem. I want to know what happened to my father. You can name your price and hers, and I will pay it." "Alright. Please wait here while I go and have a word with her inside. If she agrees to the deal, I'll come with her to meet you before she retrieves the file for us." I nodded as he hopped out of the car and headed inside the hospital. I sighed as I leaned my head against the steering wheel and wondered if I was doing the right thing or not. "I told you that it was a mistake! If I knew that she was pregnant when I left, I would've asked her to get rid of the pregnancy. But it was already too late when she called and told me that she was going to give birth."

    •DARLA•"What is she doing here? Is this some kind of a twisted joke?" Belinda complained to the lawyer as soon as she saw me walking inside the sitting room. "She can't be part of my husband's will!""She is the one person who has to be here, Mrs. Miller. So please, let's not waste each other's time and cooperate." The lawyer responded as I sat down on the single couch facing them. Belinda looked at me with contempt, and I felt my stomach sinking. She couldn't pretend that she found my presence to be an inconvenience in her life. She looked at me closely as the lawyer took out the will to read it to us. Anthony also kept glancing at me, his shady look reminding me that he still hadn't accepted me as his little sister. "To my beloved wife, Belinda Miller -" The lawyer started reading the will, and Belinda's face beamed. "I give full title deed to our house which she has cherished and made a home for the past 43 years we have been married." "Just like he had to," Belinda exclaimed.

    •DARLA•When I got inside my car, I closed all the tainted windows, leaned my head against the steering wheel, and cried. I didn't know what to do after hearing the will and everything that my father had left me. Even though I was as much his child as Anthony was, I never thought that he would do something like that for me. I was his bastard child and grew up knowing very well that I was not entitled to anything that he owned because I was the product of his one-time infidelity with a woman he met when he was away on a business trip. But as I was pondering what I was going to do, someone knocked on my window, startling me back to earth, and I rolled down the window and saw Anthony. "Anthony?" I breathed. I was tired and almost knew what he was going to say. He hated me, and I knew that fact and accepted it while growing up. "What are you still doing here? Shouldn't you be on your way to celebrate for how you've embarrassed my mother and taken everything that belonged to us? Aren'

    •ELIJAH•'Fuck,' I muttered under my breath as I inspected my swelled eye in the bathroom.That motherfucker punched me right in the eye and it was just starting to hurt. I quickly looked for first aid in the bathroom cabinet so that I could treat it myself. I took antihistamine eye drops to reduce the discomfort and then went back to my bed to lie down just a bit. I hoped that the swelling would be a bit reduced in the morning since I had to go to my office.I was about to fall asleep when my cell rang next to me, and I quickly picked it up when I saw that it was Billy. "Yes?" I answered the call as I sat up on the bed."The hand is not real. It doesn't belong to Miss Harper or anyone. Just a mannequin hand with realistic makeup. I don't even think that Abigail knew that." I stood up to my feet and was flabbergasted. Harper was alive, and that meant that someone else took her. Either to save her since Abigail had left her to die or was going to ask for ransom before they could b

    •DARLA•"Am I interrupting something?" Ethan asked as he walked inside the cabin restaurant, and I froze in my steps for a moment. I was so shocked that I didn't know what to say. I wondered for a second how he even found me and came at the moment when I couldn't even make up a lie for what he saw. "Ethan, hey." Elijah greeted him and extended his hand for a handshake. But he just looked at it and walked toward me.He looked pissed and I had no idea what he would do when he looked like that. "You said Amelia called and asked for you to come over to her place because her man was giving her some trouble. So, where is she?" He asked as he looked down at me. "Ethan, this is not what you think. I can explain. You don't have to be irrational," I answered as I tried to grab his hand, but he wouldn't take it. "Irrational?!" He snapped. "Bitch, I'm not the one lying so that I can go and see my ex behind your back! You left the kids with me just so that you can come here and dine with him,

    •ABIGAIL•"Hey, where are you? I went to your place just a while ago and couldn't find you." Kathrine asked on the phone when I arrived at my hotel suite with Diego. "I just went for a short vacation. Is everything okay?" I asked as I changed into comfortable clothing. I didn't want to tell my sister that I was in Detroit to sort out my problem with Harper because she was obviously going to tell me that she told me so. "Jason came here to my bar asking for you. I didn't know what to say to him. Is there anything I need to know, Abi? You know that I'm your sister and can help you with anything. I just hate that someone from the police is busy going around asking about you.""Did he tell you what he wanted with me?" I sighed as I leaned against the dressing table. "He didn't say anything, but I'm sure we both know what he wanted. Elijah could be the one who sent him. I hope you made sure that nothing could lead to you. They can't ever find Harper's body." "I know, Kat." I groaned a

    •ELIJAH•"Sir?" "Yes, Billy?" "I think I found her." "You did? Where is she? Is she okay?" I was so happy when he told me that he had found her. "I found a body." "What?" "I found a hand. I think it belongs to Miss Harper. Abigail and her bodyguard just left, and I decided to inspect the place. I think they left her here after they killed her. I'm not sure if it's her hand, but I'll take whatever I can get and do DNA tests." My whole world shattered, and I didn't know what to say. I didn't know how I was going to tell my Mom the news. They were going to break her apart. But since Billy wasn't even sure that the hand belonged to Harper, I was going to wait until DNA tests proved otherwise. I hung up the call and turned to Darla at the bench. I didn't want to leave her just yet, but it seemed like I didn't have a choice. "Seems like I have to be on my way home now." She got up from the bench and looked at me. "It's alright, I hope they will find your sister." "I think they'v

    •DARLA•"Lily..." I whispered under my breath when I arrived at the orphanage center that Elijah had kindly turned around and made it a more comfortable home for the kids who weren't lucky enough to find their happily ever after home."Miss Darla!" She squealed as she wrapped her arms around me and squeezed. "Did you come with Elijah? He told me that he'll be coming with you the next time he comes to visit."I sighed as we sat down on the grass at their park. It was easy to spot her since they were having a sports day. "You only got me, unfortunately," I chuckled as I pulled out a diary book for her from my handbag. "This is for you." "What is it?" She asked as she took the diary. "I had one when I was your age. It helps to write down the chaos in your head and keep them inside the book. That way, things don't get into you very easily. I know how chaotic things get when you're 15." She gave me a brief hug again. "Thank you, Miss Darla." I wrapped my arms around her and rested my

    •DARLA•"Elijah, what are you doing here?" I closed my office door, and he walked to the table and sat down on the edge. "I didn't know where to go. I couldn't sleep or do anything. My mind is all over the place, Darla. I don't know what to think. I think I've lost my sense of direction in life." He vented as I walked toward him with my arms folded on my chest. "What's wrong?" I asked. I didn't want to throw him out. Not when he seemed like he needed to talk. He chuckled as he got up and walked toward me, and that's when I realized that he was fucking drunk. It was 10 in the morning, but his breath was reeking of alcohol. "Can you believe that my mother, the one person that I deemed to be perfect in everything that she does, cheated on my father and fell pregnant with my younger sister? The one who disappeared?" "Harper?" "She lied to us all our lives when she knew very well that my father died because of her. He died from a cardiac arrest because of her. I'm sure he couldn't ta

    •ABIGAIL•"Who do you think you are?" I scolded. "You can't come here and threaten me in my house." "I just want to ask you a few questions, Abigail. You don't have to be so defensive." My goodness, I couldn't believe that Jason dared to come to my place and ask me useless things. Harper was probably dead wherever she was, but this guy was still bugging my ass about her. He texted and called me several times last night to ask me if I knew anything about Harper's disappearance, but despite telling him that I didn't know anything, he decided to come to my place and interrogate me.It was clear that he and Elijah were convinced that I was the one who kidnapped Harper. But fuck. I was the one who made him suspicious of me from the beginning when I threatened to hurt Harper because she ruined things for us and made me kill my child.But no, they weren't going to prove anything. "I'm not defensive." I scoffed. "How would you feel if I showed up at your house at this time of the day an

    •ELIJAH•"I gave you an order to find my sister!" I punched Enzo in the face after Jason called me to his garage when he found him having a drink at the club and having fun. Jason had recommended him because he had good reviews about his competency in finding lost people. He was praised by many and had a lot of success cases. But when Jason found him slacking, we had to teach him a lesson. Every hour that he wasted by putting Harper's life at risk and anything could happen to her. It had been 4 days without any lead to her, and we were starting to be more worried and on edge. We couldn't afford any little mistake. "If you knew that you weren't capable of finding my sister, you would've declined the offer and stopped wasting time and my money!" I was angry and felt like beating him up just like they were beating up Harper on the video."I'm sorry, Sir, it will never happen again. I swear that I did my job and went to the club because I just wanted to clear my mind before resuming m

    •ABIGAIL•"You will always belong to me, Elijah. No one is ever going to take you from me unless they want to deal with me." I looked at Sonia, who rolled her eyes at me."That's never going to happen." "Alright, if you say so." I looked at her and scoffed because she clearly had no idea what I was capable of, but she was about to find out."Listen here, and listen very carefully, Abigail," Sonia scolded as she closed the small gap between us. "If you know what's best for you, I would advise you to stay away from my business with Elijah. If he wanted to be with you, he would've made that clear by marrying you instead of breaking off your engagement." "Bitch, I still have his ring on my finger," I cocked my head to the side and smirked as I showed her the diamond ring. "So, as far as this is concerned," I pointed to the ring. "He's still mine." "Leave my house, you two, right now!" Elijah escorted us out of the house, and I didn't have a problem.When I got inside the car, Diego roa
