“Why did you come back?” Gloria asked nervously when David get off his car.David didn’t reply to her and was watching her movement with a scrutinizing gaze, which made her agitated.She couldn’t afford this now if David get to know about Daniel.“I got a call from Noah, we need to go to the police station. They have arrested Sasha and wanted to interrogate her. If you want to meet her, you need to leave now.” David said after some time.Gloria sighed in relief, thinking he didn’t notice Daniel.“Ok, I will reach there,” He said and was going to call her driver but David stopped her.“I am going there too. Let’s go.” Gloria hesitated first, then thinking he can find out about Daniel if he stay here long she got in his car and they drove off.When they reach the station, Noah took them inside, and the police greet her.“Hello, Miss white. You can come with us,” he informed.“Can I talk with her alone? I just need five minutes.” Gloria requested.She wanted to know why Sasha hate her.T
David was shocked after hearing Sasha’s confession.What did she mean by this?Did Lia try to frame Gloria, why would she do this?They have been always in a good relationship and even though Gloria has hated Lia after that day Lia has never badmouthed Gloria.He wanted to go after Gloria but this matter is much more important.He entered the room where Sasha was sitting and sat before her.“What did Lia tell you?” He asked with no proper introduction.“Mr. Collin.” Sasha was shocked to find him sitting before her.“You know me?” He was surprised.Though he was a prominent figure in business, he won't have a direct contract with the media, and few people know him there.How did she recognize him?“Are not you and Lia in a relationship? She said you are his boyfriend.” Sasha was surprised, too.Though she never met David his photo was on Lia’s wallpaper and Lia has mentioned many times about them.It looked like they were in a happy relationship.How could Sasha know she was just falli
Henry walked toward him with an aura of dominance and stand looking into his eyes.“I must admire your courage. You dare to stand my ground and make my child suffer? Do you think because I become old I can’t defeat you now?” Henry was trembling with anger.He has watched Gloria suffer all these years but couldn’t vent out his rage for Gloria's sake. He knew her heart would bleed if something happen to him. He didn’t want to see the disappointment in her eyes when she look at him. This child has been his bottom line and David has, again and again, crossed it.“Grandpa…” David tried to explain, but the man strike the floor with his cane.“Who is your grandpa? Do you think a snake like you have the right to call me grandpa? You dare to bite your owner and still so shameless to stand in front of me?” Henry was beyond angry to listen to his explanation.“I didn’t do anything yet because I didn’t want to hurt my grandchild. But if you dare to do so, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Henry
“What happened, David?” Lia asked with a smile but her feet were trembling though she was trying to look calm“Can I trust you?” David asked, looking at her with scrutinizing gaze,“Of course. When did I try to deceive you?” Lia asked back.“Do you know the famous Celebrity Sasha?” David asked and Lia was hesitating.Her eyes were flickering, and she was trying to look away from David, but his gaze was so penetrating she couldn’t.“Yeah, we have met on a few occasions and I often hang out with her.” Lia agreed without hesitating.She can understand now her pawn has got defeated and maybe she has exposed her to some extent.But she can’t admit her defeat so easily and let David suspect her, can she?It’s her efforts of years, and she can’t let it go in vain.“Why did you say we are in a relationship? Did I ever agree or treat you as my girlfriend?” David asked without beating around the bush.If she wanted to lie, there is no way for David to find out the truth from her behavior.So sh
In the White mansion, Gloria was lying on her bed unconscious.After Henry drove David away, he came to see her granddaughter.“Honey, please call the doctor. Her condition is worrying me.” Daina said anxiously.“I have done that,” Henry replied still with an angry look.His granddaughter is his Achilles heels and David has tried many times to step over her.This time Henry won’t let it pass even if Gloria insists.But first, he wanted to make sure Gloria was fine.The doctor came to check on her and run some simple routine tests.“Her vitals are ok. She must have fainted because of exhaustion. Let her rest for some time she would be ok.” the doctor said assuring the old couple.Diana sits beside Gloria and caresses her hair with a tender face.“Henry. We shouldn’t have brought her here. Look how tired she has become.” Diana was regretting her decision.
“I am fine, grandpa,” Gloria said but still leaned back to lie on the bed.She didn’t want to wake up this lion.“Where is Daniel?” Gloria asked Diana without looking at Henry.She was afraid he would burn her with his anger even if she meet his eyes.“He is resting in my room. He was suffering from a fever when he came back from school… Now he is good.” Diana assured her when she noticed her worried face.They know how much important Daniel is to Gloria.“I need to see him.” Gloria was getting off the bed anxiously, but Henry’s angry voice boomed in the room.“Can’t you listen to us? He is five, not you.” Henry was beyond angry, but his concern was evident in his word.This old man has lost so much in his lifetime.Even the slight scratch on Gloria or Daniel make his heart bleed.He is like a hard coconut, but his heart was soft as cotton.“But…” Gloria wanted to argue, but she looked down and fidget with her finger nervously.“He is sleeping and you can meet him when he was awake. F
“Sir, did you notice the reports? The share price is falling?” Noah asked anxiously.“I did.” David was relaxed, which made Noah confused.“How can you be so relaxed? I am getting several calls and messages from investors. They were asking for an explanation.” Noah was worried.“Call for a meeting and tell them I will explain to them tomorrow. Other than that, you don’t need to think about it.” David ordered.David was expecting this.How that old man threatened him. It was his good luck that the Collin group was still standing on its feet.But David was thinking of something else.It didn’t look like his style.It was looking like a warning rather than an act of revenge.“Do you have something in mind?” Noah asked, curiously.“Don’t you think you are getting too nosy?” David asked in a dissatisfied tone, making Noah gulp sacredly and back off.“No sir. I will do it.” Noah bowed and was ready to leave.“What happened to the task I told you? Did you manage to get a hand on Brent’s gues
“So here, start the story. You know Brent’s party?” Sasha asked, and David let her continue.“I noticed Lia there and was searching for her. When I couldn’t find her, I called her to ask if she has left?” Sasha started to tell him the story.When Sasha called Lia, she didn’t receive her call and Sasha thought she was busy so she didn’t disturb her and left the party after she meet everyone.She was on her way back her home when her phone rang and it was Lia who was calling her.Sasha received it immediately and hear Lia sobbing from the other side.“Lia, what happened?” Sasha asked worriedly.“Sasha. She has returned. She will ruin everything. I can’t lose him again.” These were the word Lia said before the call disconnected.Lia’s voice was sad, and she was drunk, too.Sasha couldn’t stop herself from worrying and run toward Lia’s apartment.Lia often used to arrange house parties so Sasha knew where she used to live.When she reached her apartment, the door was open.She worriedly e

One year later,Gloria was getting ready for her wedding day.Yes, she is officially getting married to David again.That day, after proposing Gloria and David went to the Civil Affairs office and got their marriage certificate.But Gloria didn’t want to get married with her heavily pregnant belly.And after delivery, David wanted her to recuperate.So, after one year, they were getting ready to walk down the aisle.“Mommy, ready? 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
