•DARLA•

When I got to the bathroom, I closed the door behind me, leaned against the door, and took deep breaths.

My heart was racing after Elijah asked me if it was true that I loved him at the beginning of our marriage.

I didn't want to have that conversation with him because he couldn't even notice back then that I was in love with him. Even when he used to tell me to never expect love from him.

But after having that moment in the bathroom, I walked to the sink, washed my hands, and looked at myself in the mirror for a moment.

When I stepped out of the bathroom, I held my head high and pretended that I wasn't going to let what had happened earlier to affect my mood until we were done.

"It was a pleasure to have you here, Miss Sullivan," Sara said with a smile as she handed me my laptop bag. "I have booked your flight to Detroit, and I hope you're going to have a lovely trip back home tomorrow morning. I am looking forward to working with you."

    •ETHAN•"Oh, yes, I had a wonderful day, love. The board members are actually lovely people, and I'm very excited about this new chapter in my life." "You deserve this, baby. I hope you know how proud I am of you for working hard to achieve everything that you want. I can't wait to see how you're going to turn around The Miller's Properties Lifestyle." "Thank you so much, babe. I wanted to tell you about Belinda and Anthony earlier, but I forgot." "What about them? Did they try anything funny?" I asked as I packed the twins' bags and mine. "They caused a scene and accused me of killing my father and getting the company through fraud. Someone," she cleared her throat. "Someone had to intervene and get them to leave. I was honestly lost for words, and even now, I'm still shocked by what happened. I don't know if I should try to talk with them or get Julian to get them off my back.""I don't think you should talk with them. You're right that you should seek help from Julian. They mig

    •ELIJAH•"Thank you, Emily, for keeping an eye on my affairs and taking care of my clients. You really do deserve a raise," I smiled as I walked to my desk and sat down to catch up on everything that was happening before going back to Detroit tomorrow morning. "I was counting on that," she giggled as she closed the door behind her and came to sit down in front of me. "So, how's the arrangement with Abigail going? She did not give you any difficult times?" "She didn't, actually. She seemed pretty happy about the amount, and everything was good. I just found it a bit challenging to manage the office without you, Sir.""I'm sorry, Em, but since many of our clients know now that I'm not here, they will ease the load for you. But if it takes time, please don't be afraid to forward their calls and emails to me.""I'll do that, Sir, thank you." She smiled, nodding. "How's Detroit? Does it make you homesick sometimes?" "Barely. I love it there." She chuckled. "Please don't tell me that y

    •DARLA• When I woke up in the morning, I found Daphne looking at herself in the mirror, touching her stomach and breasts. I chuckled as I sat up on the bed. "You better look at yourself more carefully because, in a few months, you won't be able to recognize yourself when you have swollen feet and a big belly." She chuckled as she turned around and looked at me. "Can you believe that I heard a dream of the baby crawling out of my stomach and I woke up screaming? I was surprised that I didn't wake you up." "That happens too," I laughed. "It still happens to me even though the twins have outgrown my arms." "They do grow up fast, don't they?" She asked as she came over and sat down on the edge of the bed next to me. "Very fast. You have to capture every moment of them before they grow up and become toddlers who run around the house, causing chaos." "Do you promise to take pictures of every moment for me and bring them to my resting place?" She asked with a serious face that cau

    •ELIJAH•"Who is it?" I asked as I rushed to answer the door after someone rang the doorbell. I was in a rush and didn't want to miss my morning flight to Detroit. Plus, I had some things to attend to when I got there before resuming work. "Abigail?" I snorted when I saw her at the door. I just didn't want to deal with her. Not now. "Hey, baby daddy," she smiled and bit her lower lip. "Can I come in?" She didn't even wait for me to answer as she shoved her way past me and got inside.When I turned around and looked at her, the flashback of what Harper said last night when I went home refreshed my memory, and I was filled with more questions. "What can I do for you?" I scolded. "I heard you telling your mother that Darla's twins might be yours, and it made me wonder why you suddenly seemed drawn to her when I was the one you left her for, Elijah. What, am I missing something in all this? Was everything that we shared all a lie?" She asked as she leaned closer. "Darla was my wife

    •ABIGAIL•[15 YEARS AGO]"I'm sorry, Abi, but you have to talk to your Mom about this. I'm afraid that you might not qualify for college if your results continue to drop." "What am I going to say to her, Amanda?" I groaned. "Ever since my father died, she's been drinking every day. Kathrine and I always come back to the house dirty and messed up. Sadly, she had to quit school and find a job so that we could have something to eat." "I wish there was something I could do," she held my hand. "Have you tried talking with Mrs. Fischer? I'm sure she could be able to help you." "I don't want to trouble her. Besides, my mom would scold me for weeks if she found out that I told someone about our living arrangement." "But this is killing your future, Abi!" She disapproved. "You're a minor, and if social workers find out about this, they can find you a new home. That would be better than this, trust me. I really don't want you to miss out on the opportunity of getting out of this place." I

    •ELIJAH•"May 2020?" Harper asked as she scanned the document that I gave her. "I honestly didn't know that the first child wasn't yours. What I know is that her current pregnancy might not be yours." "What do you mean it might not be mine?" I arched my eyebrows and felt myself getting angrier. Harper sighed as she got up from the couch. "I didn't know how to tell you this, but you have to get DNA tests done before you assume that the baby is yours. If she was able to convince you back then that the first child was yours, what more about this one?" "Harper, how do you know all of this? And how sure are you that she's not carrying Elijah's child now?" Poppy chimed in. "You have to talk with her and find out the truth yourself. I don't want to say some things that she might not have wanted you to know." "You have to tell me everything that you know, Harper. You're my sister, so you were supposed to reveal this to me the moment you found out whatever that you know." "The father mig

    •DARLA•After Anthony left my hotel room, I sat in the same spot for 30 minutes and thought of everything that he said and revealed to me. I felt so robbed of a mother who could've loved and cherished me. What made it worse was that Belinda was the one who denied me that opportunity to know my mother.Giving the paper a second glance, I decided to call and hire a car so that I could go to the address and see my mother's family. When I was done organizing for a car, I drove to West Virginia, Beckley. I hoped that seeing them was going to be comforting and that at least I had met my mother through them. When I got to West Virginia, I looked around the place as if I was seeing little fragments of my mother that she left behind. When I drove inside Beckley and found the address, I stopped outside the driveway and looked at the house for a moment longer. I felt like crying all over again, wishing that Belinda could've been caught and arrested for such a gruesome murder of a pregnant

    •ETHAN•"Was that Mommy, Uncle Ethan?" William asked when I got off the phone and placed my cell phone on the table counter. "Yes, it was, buddy. She told me to tell you to stop running around the house before you fall and break all your teeth." "Oh," he sighed as he slowed down. "But I wasn't too fast. I'm trying to save the world here. Please don't snitch on me." He whined as he jumped slowly until he disappeared from my sight. I chuckled as I watched him. I felt sorry for him for not having a friend around, but at least he seemed to be doing okay without one. I turned to my laptop and continued searching for Noah Cole. But I just couldn't find his profile because all the ones I found were of much younger boys."Hey, Mom. Do you happen to know where Noah Cole stays?" I asked after I called her because it seemed like I was going nowhere with my search. "Honey, are you telling me that you still haven't let this go, even after Eva told you to?" "I can't let it go, Mom." I sighed

    •DARLA•"I think I might know who did this," Elijah replied as he got up from the couch. "I think with this new evidence of him trying to tarnish your name with nonsensical theories, we have a chance to get him in jail.""You know who did this?" I asked as I wiped off my tears. "It's Ethan, of course. Who else would've leaked the information about how you got the Millers Properties Lifestyle? Or how you inherited everything from your father and banned your stepmother and brother from the company? It seems pretty obvious to me." I looked at him and realized how much sense he had made. Yet again, I failed to see Ethan for who he truly is. "Then what now?" "I know how to get him to confess to this and also get him to get this article off the internet. So don't worry, I'll take care of him for you. He will never bother you again." For the first time in forever, I let down my guard and decided to trust Elijah. Even though it was hard for me to admit that I needed his help when I came

    •ABIGAIL•"Don't worry, I'll call you. Yeah -" My heart skipped a beat when I heard Diego on the phone when I walked out of the restroom. We were in New York and had withdrawn the money for our fake passports, which made it weird about who he might be talking to on the phone. He made my mind and heart uneasy because of his constant attention to his cell phone, which wasn't a problem until a few hours ago.'Fuck. He better not be cheating on me,' I groaned as I walked back to the bathroom and went to look at myself in the mirror and reapply my makeup. I sure wasn't going to let Diego use me to get a fake passport and then turn around and want to bring his whore with us. I had to make sure that he didn't even think about stabbing me in the back after all the things that he did with me and to me. When I was done patting myself on the back, I walked out of the restroom and found him waiting for me. He looked a bit agitated. "Is everything okay?" He asked when I walked toward him as

    •ELIJAH•"I want your best flowers and the best gift box you got. Make sure that they are as romantic as they can be. I want them delivered to the address that I sent you. Yes. Thank you." I hung up the call and sat down on my couch. I was in one of my apartments so that I could have my own space and also get my mission accomplished on time.After receiving a file from my private investigator about Ethan's fraud with his former Arab business partners, I realized that it was going to help me get him under my control, and also get him to pay for kidnapping my kids.My cell phone rang, and when I realized that it was Harper, I got up from the couch and answered the call. "Hey, Jason sent me a text that Diego called and told him that you found them. Is Abigail with you?" I asked. "Yes, she's here. We are still keeping her in our hotel room. Jason hasn't called his cop friends, has he?" "No, but they are waiting for something. Abigail has to be captured, and since they had a lead, it h

    •DARLA• "I can't believe that you had sex with Elijah," Amelia commented after I closed the door behind Elijah. I rolled my eyes as I turned around and walked to the living room where the kids were happily playing together. "I don't know what you're talking about. It's so crazy that you think I did such a disgraceful act with Elijah. I'd do that with anything walking around with a dick, but Elijah. My goodness," I answered when we got to the kitchen. "I'm sure you think that you're fooling me right now, but I can literally smell and see a person who just had sex." "Oh, yeah?" I chuckled after pouring myself and her a glass of apple juice. "Your pregnancy does that?" "Yeah, and your shirt is turned over." I gasped as I looked down at my shirt and instantly felt overwhelmed with embarrassment. I was so sure that even the housekeeper and Penelope saw that and knew what I did when Elijah was in the house. "That -" I sighed as I tried to think of an excuse. "I didn't see it

    •ETHAN•"Morning, beautiful." I smiled as I brought Meghan a cup of coffee in bed. She looked so beautiful, and I couldn't believe my luck in bringing her home from the bar after a failed attempt two nights ago. "Fuck," she groaned.She didn't look so impressed when she saw me. She got up from the bed, dressed up, and took her handbag from the floor. "I'm sorry, but I've got to hit the road. I'm sure we had a lot of fun last night, but I'm not the romantic type to do breakfast in bed, talk, or whatever you thought was going to happen." I placed the cup of coffee down on the pedestal counter and turned to her a little disappointed. She didn't seem like someone who only did one-night stands.I was even thinking that maybe she didn't like me as much as I thought she did when she came home with me. "Wait, what's wrong? You were happy when we came home and you seemed interested in me. Did I read all that wrong?" I asked as I leaned toward her. "It's not you, honestly. But I can't do

    •DARLA•"Say it again, Darla. I want you to tell me that you don't love me anymore, but I want you to look me straight in the eye this time when you say it." "What difference will make it, Elijah?" I scoffed. "It won't change the fact that I don't want to be with you anymore. Getting me the cool pink car, jewelry, bags, and shoes is never going to make me forgive you for all the shit that you put me through!" "Are you going to say it?" "Fuck you!" I snapped. "You left and abandoned me when I was pregnant with your kids! How dare you think that you can come back into my life, and I'll just forgive you as if you didn't leave me to be with another woman?! You're a motherfucking cunt, Mr. Houston!""I know that I lied, cheated, and divorced you on claims that Abigail was pregnant! I know that I was an asshole who doesn't deserve sympathy from you, but I love you!" He sighed. "I love you with all my heart, and nothing makes sense to me right now than you." He breathed.

    •HARPER•"Hey, are you okay?" I breathed, packed my bag, and took a sip of my lemon juice on the table. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just tired of being here and not getting anywhere. Abigail seems impossible to find." Alec smiled as he came to sit down next to me on the bed. "Don't you trust me anymore? I brought you here with me because I know that we can find her. I know Abigail and how she thinks. Chicago is not big enough for her to hide." "Yeah, and we've been here for a day already. We should be getting somewhere, but it seems like we aren't getting anywhere, Alec. What if she's no longer in Chicago? I don't think that I can stay here any longer chasing pavements!" I snapped and then sighed. "Something's going on with you. What's wrong? You know that you can talk to me about anything." "There's nothing wrong! Stop with your interrogations, Alec, and get me, Abigail!" I snapped again as I stood up from the bed. "I'm starting to feel like you don't want me to find your bitch anymor

    •ELIJAH•"This better be good," I sighed after answering Diego's call in the morning. I was sleeping when he called me at 5 AM. I had a long night and slept quite late because of a research that I was conducting. "I'm with Abigail, Sir. We met last night in Chicago and will be on our way to New York this morning for some cash. I just need a little more time before turning her in." "My sister and her friend are in Chicago searching for her. When you come back from your New York trip, please give me a call. She has to be captured tonight. That's how much time I'm going to give you." "Yes, Sir. That's okay. I'll make sure that she's captured. I just want to make sure that Harper gets back the remaining money that Abigail took from her." I got up from the bed and sighed. "Alright, give me a call when you're back." "Sir?" "Yes?" "Does our deal still stand? You get Abigail and let me go? You promised not to harm me or my family if everything goes your way. Please, I hope nothing wil

    •SONIA•"Hey, Mom. It's me again," I sniffed as I sat down on the carpet floor in the basement. This was where I spent some of my time whenever I needed to feel close to my Mom, even though I didn't really have any memories of her.Before my father had his life devoted to his work, he and I used to have a weekly tradition whereby we would watch videos he took with my Mom before she died. They looked so happy and in love together, which made sense why my father never remarried after her death. She was the love of his life."I know that we barely know each other, but I have no one right now. You're the only person who can listen to me without any judgments, and I really need to vent right now," I sighed. "Was it ever this hard when your parents wanted to get you married to someone else when you were with Dad? Was it this hard because they didn't want you to be with someone who wouldn't be able to take care of you?" I silently cried and wiped my tears before they could reach my cheek
