The next morning when Gloria woke up David had already left for his office.
She couldn’t sleep all night and it was almost five in the morning when she could close her eyes and even after sleeping for three hours, she couldn’t talk with him.But Gloria didn’t want to waste any more time as she was on pins and needles.If she couldn’t find him in the house, she can talk with him in his office.After all, she is one of the shareholders of his company.But talking with him was necessary, and she wanted to make everything perfect again before things go out of her hand.She needed to know what made him take this decision and fix this thing so that they could return to their normal life. She went to dress up hurriedly and ordered the butler to keep her car ready.When she got down, there was already a car ready for her and she gets on it wasting no time.She told the driver her destination and lean back tiredly.Last night was like a nightmare for her.She couldn’t find any reason why David wanted a divorce and if she wouldn’t found those papers still sitting in the living room, she would have dismissed all this, thinking it a bad dream.But those papers were proof of her failed marriage, and she will try her best to fix this.“Mam, we are here?” Gloria heard the voice of the driver and get off the car sighing.This was the company where Collin works.His grandfather has a separate business but when they married Collin was in a critical situation so his grandfather bought some shares in her name and supported David.But Gloria never came here for any business meetings, though she has visited this office as Mrs. Collin several times, David was the one who handled all the business even the huge number of shares too.But today when she came here there was a nervous feeling in her heart.She was worried that Collin only married her for these shares only.Though she dismissed this idea as soon as it hit her heart this idea was constantly bugging her mind when she remembered the papers.She took a deep breath and walk inside the building.Everyone who knew her identity greeted her as Mrs. Collin and this was making her more uncomfortable. When Gloria reach the floor where his office was, he found out David’s assistant Noah.He was doing some work but noticing her he walk over to greet her.“Mrs. Collin, what brings you here?” he asked politely though he was looking nervous.Though Gloria was sure Noah know about the divorce as David’s every word is handled by him but she didn’t want to give him a hard time.“I want to meet David.” She replied, and Noah has a conflicted face.“Mam, Sir is busy in a meeting…” He was hesitating but Gloria didn’t give him time.“I will wait in his office,” Gloria said and walk inside. She was waiting for almost two hours, but David didn’t return.She wanted to ask how long the meeting will go on so she come out but when she noticed David who was entering the elevator with a lady.She couldn’t see their face but she can’t miss that person with whom she has spent three years.“Mam, Sir just left for some work.” Noah ran toward her and inform her immediately.“Did you inform him about me?” Gloria asked, her gaze still looking at the elevator where those two people just left.“Yes… but…” Noah was hesitating.“Go back to your work,” Gloria said and leave from there. She absentmindedly returned to her house, but when she entered and saw a pair of female slippers on her doorstep, her heart was clenching in pain.Still, she walked upstairs and wanted to ask him the reason for proposing a divorce.She was walking toward her room when she heard some indecent voice which make her halt in her step.“David, it’s your bedroom. We shouldn’t do it here. What if Gloria comes back?” This voice was her cousin’s, Lia’s“So what? I am divorcing her soon.” He says and there was a moan coming from inside.“But you are not divorced yet, and she is still the shareholder of your company. What about the papers I told you to take her sign?” She ask and Gloria was confused.What papers she was talking about?“Those were in my study. I will make her sign those too.” He says while groaning and she heard Lia moaning alongside him.She didn’t need to think twice about what was happening inside her bedroom, which used to be their marital bed two days back.Gloria turned around and walk toward his study.She is well known in this place as she has taken care of every room of this house for the last three years.She opened the locker where David keep his important documents and there were some legal papers she wanted to see.It was a transfer paper of Gloria’s share.If she signs them, David will become the sole owner of those shares which comprises almost fifty percent shares of his company.Yes, Gloria had this much money invested in him, and don’t mention the time and effort she has invested in this marriage.Before marrying him, Gloria was doing an internship in her favorite fashion design company.It was one of the best companies in New York and there was a saying whoever can work in that company can become a celebrity in the fashion world after coming out.But she left all her dreams because she wanted to give all her time to this marriage.She was on the moon hearing his proposal and nothing else mattered at that time.But after seeing all this happening here everything felt like a stupid mistake.Gloria didn’t care why Lia was here instead of her or why David wanted to divorce her.After seeing them do all this, Gloria just wanted to leave this place as it was suffocating for her.She took those papers along with her and leave the house with a broken heart.Gloria wanted to go to her grandma and cry her heart out as she was the only one who could understand her pain.But she was afraid her grandpa would hurt David if he know the truth.Though David didn’t give a fuck about this relationship she cared for him and loved him.She didn’t want him to get hurt, though he was an asshole.She was roaming around the town when her cell phone rang.It was her doctor who was calling her.She composed her distorted mind and receive the call.“Hello, miss Hill.” She asks trying to act calm and composed.“Gloria, you did some tests last week. I have your report in my hand. Can you please come to collect them?” She asks.I was so disturbed these few days I almost forgot about this report.“Miss Hill, can you send them to me, please? I am busy slightly.” Gloria said as she didn’t want to go there for the time being.“Actually, I wanted to talk with you.” She said hesitating and Gloria sighed.“Ok, I will be there in half an hour.” She replied.“Ok, I wil
David was sitting on the sofa and watching Gloria leave his house.He thought Gloria will put a fuss or try something to remain Mrs. Collin.But her leaving like this somehow surprised him.He was hurt somehow, too.He thought, though these three years they were not like some romantic couple at least they grew some bond.But maybe he was wrong.This marriage was a business deal for him at first.He agreed to marry her because his dad wanted to take help from the elder Mr. White.Lia and David used to be childhood sweethearts, but when David’s company fall and he needed help Lia didn’t come forward to help him.Instead, she showed him her back, saying her mom’s business was not in good condition and she was not in the position to help him.Though David knew white was far superior to them he believed her word and tried to search for investors.But his every attempt came out futile.His company was at a loss because one of their projects go haywire and that’s why no one was ready to trust
Five years laterGloria was packing her bag as she need to return to New York.I have been five years since she left the city where she grew up.Though she was in constant touch with his grandparents she tried to keep her away from any news of that city.Many things must have changed in these five years but what she couldn’t change was her heart that still bleed for that man who broke it into pieces.She tried to forget him so much but when his son was born with similar features to David, she couldn’t forget him for a day.Now when she had to return because her grandmother is sick she was dreading to face her past.But she didn’t want to miss these precious times.Gloria didn’t want to regret it when in the future she won’t be able to stay with them.So when that old lady called her back she agreed without hesitation.Her grandparents have supported her a lot in these five years.She still remembered the day when she returned to White’s house after signing the divorce papers.She was s
David was lost in her thought all over his business meetings. Though he has convinced himself all these years that Gloria doesn’t matter to him, today his heart proved himself wrong. He was not only forcing his mind to concentrate on his work, but he was burning with jealousy when he thought Gloria must be back for Jonathan. Though he wanted to forget about their past affairs and move on, it was looking too impossible for now. They were returning after a week and they could meet anytime, this thought was making him unsettled. But he knew ignoring this matter will solve anything. “Noah, have you got any news all these years about her?” David ask Noah who was busy arranging some papers. They were sitting in his private jet and they were going to touch the ground in an hour. “I tried to find out where she was and I only have news she was in Australia. I didn’t try to find out anything afterward.” Noah says, and he sighs. What was she doing there, and who was with her? David know
“Yeah, what are you doing here?” Gloria asks nervously.Lia tried to see inside but Gloria block her view with her body and act it was unintentional.“That doesn’t matter. Let me visit aunt as I am already here.” She said and tried to push the door but Gloria stopped her again.“Doctor is doing some test on her. No visitors allowed for now.” Gloria lied in a hurry.But Lia was not a fool.She understood Gloria was trying to hide something, and how could she let her win?“I will just see her from afar. I won’t disturb the doctor.” She said and try to push herself inside the door but in the nick of time, a person called her.“Lia, where did you disappear? Your Doctor was asking for you.” Lia turned around in annoyance but when she noticed David she tried to change her tactics.“Oh, David, see who is here. I didn’t meet my cousin for five years, so when I saw her, I couldn’t stop myself from talking to her.” Lia said and walk toward him.She wrapped her arm over him intimately and thought
David came to accompany Lia as she was having some problems with her stomach.He didn’t know why she said they came to visit the gynecologist, neither he pondered over this matter as his concentration was fully on Gloria.She has become exquisite over time.She has gained weight in a better way and her face was also flawless.She looked younger now, with light makeup.He couldn’t forget how she greeted her indifferently as if they don’t know each other.How could she move on so fast when he was still standing where they separated?“David,” Lia called and when he looked at her, she was standing with a frown.“Where are you lost? It’s our turn.” She jerks his arm but he pulls away from her and stands in a distance.“Lia, I have something to deal with. You go on. Noah will accompany you.” David said and leave there not giving her any chance to protest.Lia stood there and stomp his leg.“How can this bitch still affect him so much?” She thought angrily.In these five years, Lia has used
Jonathan went up to meet Gloria and when he was reaching her room, he heard a soft giggle coming from inside. He paced up and what caught his eyes made his face lift with happiness. Gloria was tickling her son when he was trying to escape. “You naughty devil. How dare you trick me? I forbade you from eating so many chocolates.” She scold her son but he moved away from her grip and run to the other side of the bed. “I didn’t. I was just bringing them for you because you were hurt.” He replied while giggling and jumping on the bed, trying to run away from the bed. “Really? Then how they ended up in your stomach? Let me ask your tummy.” She said and try to tickle him again but he run out to hide when his tiny frame bumped into Jonathan who picked him up happily. “Uncle Jon save me. Mom is going to punish me again.” He said and hide his face in the crook of Jonathan’s neck and Jonathan wrap his arm over him in a protective stance. “Gloria, how could you bully my friend? I won’t let
“Mom, Beautiful is calling you downstairs. She has made your favorite food and mine, too.” Daniel said excitedly, coming inside the room.His nanny ran behind him, but how could she manage to catch this little devil?Gloria hurriedly wiped her tears and plastered a smile on her face before turning toward his impatient son.Though he couldn’t wait to finish all the food, he won’t do it without his mother. Gloria was well-known for that.These loving gestures of Daniel always make Gloria content in his life and go through all her sadness.“I know your little tummy is hungry. Mom is coming down. Go with aunt Zara.” Gloria said and his nanny came to pick him up.“Don’t be late.” He warned before going out with his Nanny.Gloria composed her mood as she didn’t want to make his grandparents worried and walked down along with Jonathan.Diana grinned happily, noticing them coming together while Henry was still not Ok with the idea and was wearing a frown on his face.They sit to have their lun

Dad has sent me again to check whether you are ready or not. I am not leaving unless you come with me.” Daniel said angrily, stomping her feet, and Gloria chuckled.“Aww, my poor baby. Did daddy make you too much work?” She asked, and pulled him onto her lap.“No, but Daddy is like when is your mommy coming? It’s not like you are running away. He should know ladies take time.” Daniel said and Gloria giggle.“Who said that?” Gloria asked.“My friend in the school. She said we should know girls take time and we should not complain.” Daniel said, and Gloria nod
David was leaving the room as he was feeling terrible.Yes, he would stay away to keep the child safe. But he was expecting to get a second chance.He knew it was hard for Gloria to forgive him.But he was ready to repent till his last breath.It was not a lie. He truly loved Gloria. It’s just his one stupid mistake made him lose everything.Now even if he asks for forgiveness all his life, nothing is going to change.Gloria won’t keep his child away he was sure about that.But he won’t get any place in her life ever.“You didn’t let me finish, David,” Gloria said, making him halt in his step.“I want to have this child. But I don’t want to do the parenting alone. It’s hard to be a single parent.” Gloria said, making him turn around excitedly.“Why will you be alone? I will be there. I have missed Daniel’s childhood. I don’t want to miss this one too.” David said, kneeling in front of me.“Think about it before agreeing. You will have to go to the doctor’s appointment every time with
Gloria wanted to leave this place soon.But seeing her son crying like this she couldn’t leave him there.“No, why will I leave you? I love you, baby.” Gloria said and patted his back to calm him down.“Then stay Here, with me. I want you and dad both.” He said and looked at David.David walked forward and lean down to pull Gloria and Daniel into a hug together.Gloria wanted to move back but noticing Daniel she didn’t.One month later.It’s been a month since Gloria was living with David.It was not until she didn’t leave. It’s just Daniel was stubbornly keeping her here.David was also trying his best to ask for forgiveness though she didn’t accept her heart was melting slowly.After knowing everything, she didn’t want to blame him anymore. But the pain was so hard to let go of.Gloria was feeling sick from someday and she didn’t understand why she was feeling like this.She was feeling weak and wanted to just sleep her day off.And from last week there was that nauseous feeling whe
“Gloria,” David called out when she was leaving the house.David was not there when Gloria said goodbye to all as David needed to attend a call.When he returned Gloria was not there.When David asked his mom he gets to know Gloria has already left not long back so he runs out to see her.“You can stay the night. Daniel wouldn’t be comfortable staying here alone.” David used another excuse, which made Gloria chuckle.“How long do you think you can make Daniel an excuse to keep me here? I and you can never be together again. So stop using him as an excuse.” Gloria said bitterly.Though David was ashamed as Gloria looked through his facade, he didn’t want to lose.“Then not for Daniel, stay for me.” David urged shamelessly.“You?… Why would I do that?” Gloria was looking calm, but her inside was blazing with anger.The rage she was suppressing for so long came out with full force when David said those words.“Gloria, I know it’s hard for you to forget everything. But now you know it’s n
Gloria entered the room and noticed Daniel was sleeping on the bed peacefully.That didn’t look like a room made for a child, but Gloria can notice the newly bought things which can be used for children.David may not have planned to move her, but he has planned to make every preparation possible to let Daniel feel comfortable.She walked toward the bed and get on half lying beside Daniel to see his son's peaceful face closely.His face was so peaceful no one would feel he was staying there for the first time.She moved the short hair from his forehead and caress his cheeks, which made him stir in sleep and open his eyes slowly.“Mom.” He says yawning and stretching his body to wake up.“Slept well?” She asked, and Daniel nodded, smiling.“Am I in dad’s house?” Daniel asked, looking around, and Gloria nodded.“Are we now staying here together? Dad, you and me?” Daniel asked excitedly, but Gloria didn’t respond.But Daniel was so happy with the thought only he didn’t notice the sad fac
Gloria took the advice her mom has given her and get on her mission.She called David directly.“Gloria.” A surprised and happy voice came out from the opposite side.“Where are you? Where did you take him?” She asked without hiding her anger from him.“I just took him home.” He said, making her brow puckered with anger.Why he was playing games again?“I went to your home and according to your maid you don’t live there,” Gloria said in a frustrated tone.She can easily find out his address f she wants, it’s just she didn’t want to waste her energy.“That’s because I have changed my house,” David said, playing with his words again.“And where this house is and why you changed it suddenly? I thought you were living there like last night.” Gloria said in a mocking tone and David chuckled hearing her words.He knew he was getting on her nerves and he was feeling glad while doing this sweet banter.When was the last time Gloria has taken the initiative to call him and when she has talked
Sara noticed Gloria was going out of the house, and she has an idea where her daughter can go.She was worried about what will happen either, but there was another thing she need to deal with before that.It’s been so many years and people thought her lenience was her weakness.This time, she would show them her true strength.She met Henry while going out and Henry was sitting with Diana, comforting the old lady who was still crying her grievances out.Sara doesn’t blame them, but she can’t be so emotional too.“Dad,” Sara called out, and the couple looked at her while Diana wiped her teary face.“What have you decided to do?” Sara didn’t want to push them, but she won’t let them get weak too.They can have their emotions, but Lara won’t get away without punishment this time.Henry when noticed her determination and a sigh left his mouth.How can he defend Lara when what she has done was unforgivable?He can let her get away when she has planned to kill him.But this blow was so heav
Gloria was lying on the bed, facing the ceiling, when Sara entered the room.Her face was marred with tears but blank of any emotion.It felt like she was blocking her every emotion inside.But this time, Sara was adamant about not letting her repeat the same mistake.She need to stop locking her heart inside and started to open up.She should vent her anger, and complain about her grievance even if she takes her revenge. Sara was Ok with that.It’s been a long time since she should start fighting her problems instead of making the troubling thought overwhelm her and make her depressed.Sara walked toward her and forcefully make her sit angrily.Gloria was not expecting her outburst, so she looked at her with a confused look.“How long will you remain a coward and hide from every problem?” Sara asked angrily.“Mom.” Gloria was saying something, but Sara snapped without hearing her word.“What mom? You are not a teenage girl whom I need to babysit. You are an adult lady and the mother
