My Daughter Wants A New Dad: My Lucky Star Chapter 21: Your Little Angel Is Awake!
Shawn was at a construction site when he heard his phone beep. It was a message from George, ever since the accident he has been calling and texting George frequently so he has a special sound notification for it. The message read; "SOS!!!! Your little angel dad is here and by the mother's expression she doesn't want him anywhere near them, you think you can come?", he wanted to ignore the message seeing as their family issues is none of his concern when he got another text; "I forgot to add, your little angel is awake and she called me handsome!! Hehe", that got Shawn's attention. "She is awake", he thought, but he has to supervise the construction taking place as it is a very delicate deal... After hesitating for a while he finally concluded--no, I should go see her--he concurred as her angelic face appeared in his mind rendering his resolve useless. He dialed Andrew's number, "Come to the A-rank construction site and take over supervising for me", he said and after Andrew r

Isabelle was given a task by her elder sister, she was to act as a spy and deliver information to her boss. Georgina was growing impatient, craning her neck to glance at her little sister Isabelle, who was intently eavesdropping on the adults' conversation. "Come on baby Isabelle, what are they saying?". Isabelle turned around, her big brown eyes sparkling with a mixture of excitement and confusion. "Shushh!! Sister Ginny you are distracting me", she whispered her chubby little fingers pressed against her thin lips. Gerogina nodded and chuckled which made her blue eyes twinkle."Your spy time is over baby Isabelle, tell me what you heard", she said in a soft but firm tone. Isabelle turned around at looked at her sister with questioning eyes. "The spy time is over?", she asked blinking her gorgeous brown eyes ."Yes it is. So.....What were they saying?". Isabelle moved away from the door, her little legs moving quickly as she scurried over to Georgina's beside and climbed on the ch

AT STARLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT: Gabriella sorted through a pile of scripts, searching for the perfect role for the new actress recently signed under her. "This is impossible", she thought slumping over the desk in exhaustion. " I have only worked with B-rank artists and above, what was the boss thinking assigning me a D-rank artist", all the roles she found required a matured look or were too dangerous, and this artist was far from being mature, her baby face was too obvious and the boss specifically told her not to choose any dangerous role for the artist. "Argggg!", she exclaimed, her chest rising and falling as she breathed heavily, her lips protruding and her jaw clenched in anger. "He did this purposely!", she thought, her mind racing with resentment. Just then, her office door opened and she snapped her head up, furious at who dared to enter without knocking. Christopher Dele, her boss and Shawn's brother, strutted in, looking dashing in his green coloured sweatshirt a

"I'm pregnant......and it's Dane's", she whispered. Gabriella was too stunned to say anything, she couldn't think of anything to say much less how to say it.. "You're pregnant? For Dane?", she repeated, unsure of what to think about it. "Yeah! My confusion was by far more complex than yours when George informed me...... At first I thought I fainted due to exhaustion and stress, then George brought the results, then I found out it's because I've been eating less lately and the child absorbing most of it, the nourishment wasn't enough to sustain me and the last fight I had with Dane...... It's a miracle that the baby survived", she explained relieving the moment of anguish. She didn't know what to feel, should she be angry, sad or happy about this baby.....her baby, it was all a pile jumbled feelings threatening to swallow her whole and it still might, if she doesn't thread on this dangerous path carefully. "How far gone are you? And.....are.... are you keeping it?", Gabriella want

Christopher grabbed his brother's hand, concern etched on his face. "Hold on brother! You're leaving the kids alone?", Shawn shrugged him off and took out his phone, showing Christopher the recent message from George. "She is awake and well, so you can leave now. She'll join her children in a moment". Christopher nodded understanding. "Alright. Em...Big bro.....", Christopher began as he moved closer to his brother. "No!", Shawn replied adamantly.. Feeling aggrieved, Christopher hit his brother lightly. "Why are you disagreeing without hearing what I'm about to say?" "No you cannot come to my house Christopher, you will be a nuisance ", Shawn stated. "Right!", Christopher face fell, but he agreed, walking out the door with Shawn following behind. After moving a safe distance from Shawn Christopher called out, "Hey, big bro! I just remembered, how do you think mom will react if she sees this picture?", Christopher lightly threatened as he waved his phone in the air, a sly
My Daughter Wants A New Dad: My Lucky Star Chapter 26: Why Is Shawn Helping Them?
As they left the hospital, the sun had dipped below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow over the city. The stars were beginning to twinkle in the night sky, and the rear lights of passing cars cast a reddish hue on the pavement. Christopher spotted his brother's car, parked at the entrance of the hospital building, he jogged over to it and hopped into the front seat. Shawn started driving, and they sat in silence for a few moments, the evening sounds ringing in their ears; the cars horns, the road traders trying to advertise their products as they scampered to any car slowing down, the shout and arguement of some drunken men by the road, a typical evening in the city of Stonefall. "Hey Second brother", Christopher said, breaking the silence, "I thought you had an important project to oversee today?", "Andrew is handling it", Shawn replied, his eyes fixed on the road. "Hmmm....That makes sense, it's just that dad made it sound as if it was an S-rank or A-rank project." "A-

The warm afternoon sun cast a golden glow over the bustling street as Eleana walked towars the cafe across the street. Her ocean blue dress fluttering in the gentle breeze. She clutched Isabelle tightly, her eyes fixed on the cafe ahead where her lawyer was already waiting for her. "Sorry I'm late, my daughter had a brain scan and I had to be there", she apologized. Standing up the lawyer, Mark, stretched out his hands for a handshake which Eleana took. "There is no need to apologize, your child's health should come first", lawyer Mark said as he gestured for her to take a sit. Eleana sat in the chair opposite the lawyer, and placed Isabelle on the one close to her. "Thank you... I knew Dane will contest the divorce, I just didn't expect him to do so this soon, that's the reason I contacted you yesterday." Mark nodded understandably. "From someone of Mr Dane's stature, immediate response is likely. I've reviewed your case and we need to discuss our strategy on moving forward, but
My Daughter Wants A New Dad: My Lucky Star Chapter 28: Calling Uncle Shawn
It was two days since they left the hospital, and Georgina was totally fine, well, aside the memory loss part, Eleana tried telling her some good things about her fatherly moments but whenever it was brought up Georgina would have a banging headache that she had no other choice but to let go of the matter temporarily. In any way, it was for the best, there were few happy moments with Dane and all that was before Isabelle was born. “Aunty Gabby, what are you cooking?”, Isabelle asked as she skipped to the kitchen, following the aroma that was assaulting her nostrils. Stirring what was in the pot with a spatula, Gabriella used her other hand to pat Isabelle on the head. “Be good little Belle, you shouldn’t play in the kitchen. Now off you go.” “But I want to know what you are cooking", Isabelle said, refusing to leave until she was told what is in the pot. “Okay, I am cooking a native food called Egu, my grandmother taught me....” “Hmm, it smells delicious...Aunty Gabby, w

"Your Honour, these are the evidence to back up his claim", Attorney Baxter said as he handed a copy of the pictures to he Judge and the media tech. The images were displayed on the screen. The first one was kinda dark, but the face of Eleana in the embrace of a man who's face was bot taken, was clear for all to see, the picture even captured the children sitting inside the car. This changed the people opinions again, some that had believed Eleana was already jumping the fence. _How could she be so loose?__ That was the thought that passed through most of the people's mind. Eleana felt as if she was drenched in cold water. "Isn't that the stranger that was walking on the road", she thought, looking intently at the picture until realization dawned on her. "I see...So he was a setup?", she asked no one in particular as she muttered under her breathe. She didn't view the stranger as someone that was hired for a job like that, he looked too _mighty_ for that, in anyway the ph
My Daughter Wants A New Dad: My Lucky Star Chapter 46: Evidence
AT THE SAME MOMENT IN THE COURTROOM: Attorney Baxter was already asking Dane questions they had practiced beforehand. It was of paramount importance to portray Dane as a father who thought providing everything his children could ever ask for was the best way to take care of them. "Mr Dane, Mrs Eleana here, accused you of being an abuser, what is your take on that?", Attorney Baxter's question elicit murmurs in the courtroom. "What's the lawyer trying to do, there's already evidence that he did lay his hands on her, isn't he just adding more salt to the room?", "Is this lawyer actually defending the man or offending him?", "This question won't be in his favour, no?". These were the words spoken in low tone as the gallery wondered what the lawyer was up to. "Order!!", the bailiff said, reminding them that the court was still in session. "Mr Dane please answer the question", Attorney Baxter said to Dane, giving him signals to repeat what they had practiced the day before.

Shawn was sorting through some documents in his office, with Andrew by his side, his baritone voice resounding in the quite space, as he discussed the latest construction update. The marketing manager was also there, waiting patiently to report on the latest marketing strategy that his team came up with , which will elevate the company's popularity, propelling it higher in the international stage. This atmosphere was broken by the weird ringtone coming out from Shawn's phone. It was a poem, a kid's poem, but Andrew was already used to this sound ever since the day Georgina added a special ringtone for her number so Shawn would know who was calling without having to see the number, unlike the marketing manager whose jaw dropped in shock. __Wha...? What the hell is this sound?? Did a bug enter the boss's phone?__He wondered, surprise etched on his face, but this was only the beginning. A smile escaped from Shawn's lips, a sight that Andrew was gradually getting used to but it

It's been hours and they were still playing with their phone, she go so bored that she fell into the dream land. "Look, sister Ginny, the babysitter is asleep", Isabelle pointed out, informing her elder sister. "I guess she is tired, that's good, we can finally do that", Georgina said as she sprang up and kept the phone aside, but Isabelle took it along with her. "Sister Ginny are you sure mommy won't get angry?", Isabelle asked as she fiddled with her fingers, while looking at her elder sister with her natural puppy eyes.

Attorney Baxter stood up with a file in his hand; "Mrs.Eleana, you said, you and Mr. Dane has been married for seven years now, correct?", he asked. "Yes, we have", Eleana replied curtly. "And in these seven years, how much have you contributed to the growth of your family, financially?", the lawyer asked again. Eleana furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "I don't understand", she stated. "Okay, let me rephrase that", the lawyer said as he walked closer to her. "In these past years, how much money have you contributed to foot your household bills?", "Objection your Honour, the question is irrelevant", Attorney Liana objected. "Your Honour, I am about to show it's relevance", "Sustained, the witness may answer the question", the Judge said to Eleana.Eleana realized where the lawyer was getting at, she hadn't spent a dime of her money on anything and that might give off the idea that she is irresponsible and incapable of taking proper care of her children. "None", she replied cu

“You may continue”, the Judge said. “Thank you, Your Honour. Mrs Eleana, many of us in the court may wonder, why didn’t you leave when the abuse began or was there something else that kept you there?”, “My children", Eleana replied without much thought. “I didn’t have a father while growing up and I know how that feels, I didn’t want my children to ever experience the pain of losing a father, so no matter how Dane treated me, I stayed, for my children” “And why did you decide to leave now?”, Attorney Liana further questioned. There was a little hesitance from Eleana when that questioned was asked. Attorney Liana noticed it and had to remind Eleana of an important fact; “Remember Mrs Eleana, you are bound by law and faith to answer every question truthfully". Eleana nodded in understanding and said; “I decided to leave when he brought home his side woman, over the years, no matter how much he fooled around outside, he never brought any of them close to his house and his c

My Daughter Wants A New Dad: My Lucky Star Chapter 40: Office Drama II
AT THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICE: The once lively office was doused with a solemn silence. Disappointment, guilt, anger and sadness filled the air. One might ask; "Isn't it just an issue with the version, it can easily be resolved. That shouldn't warrant this type of atmosphere right?", but what they wouldn't know is that, this is the first time the project management team failed a presentation. They have all worked together under Arnold's tight rule and protection, so they haven't had a day like this. It was a foreign feeling and to think that the cause of all this was something that even an amateur could avoid. The team members couldn't help but throw disappointed looks at Ssrah, but she had been here longer than most of them so they really couldn't voice out their anger. Noticing the mood in the office, and her teammates accusing looks, Sarah decided to stand up and apologise when Eleana beat her to it: "I'm sorry for letting the team down. I was the one in charge of cross

AT ML CONSTRUCTION: Eleana, are you ready?", Asher, the assistant project manager, asked her. "Yes, I'm fine, thanks". "Okay", Asher nodded in understanding. Eleana was staring out the window, lost in thoughts and uncertainly, this would be the first time she will be seeing Shawn after his visit to Gabriella's house, and the first time she would be meeting him as her boss, which was unnerving. She fidgeted with her pen, her mind racing with doubts. "How should I act? Will he think I didn't deserve the spot when he sees me? What if.....? Ahh! I'm thinking too much about this", Sofia, noticing her distress, offered a reassuring smile. "Hey, we've all been there. Meeting the boss for the first time is nerve-wracking, but he's not that scary". "Thank you Sofia", Eleana said assured by her words, but Sofia got one thing wrong tho, the fact that the Big Boss has been to her house and even had breakfast there. "Not if she makes a fool of herself when she sees the boss", Sasha s
