Claudia's eyes lit up slowly. She stared around while calling on Raya's name. "Mummy, you are finally awake," Raya said while going over to sit beside Claudia. "Raya, thank Goodness you are here. I thought that you left me already!" Claudia exclaimed as the door of her room slowly pulled open a little bit. Jessica seemed to be eavesdropping through the open space without them noticing. "I can never do that to you mommy," Raya voiced out as Jessica's eyes slowly filled itself with hurt. "Thank you so much darling, I don't know how I would ever live without you here!" Claudia uttered while patting Raya's hair calmly. "Me too mummy, I also can't live without you too. Please you have to get better okay? The doctors are on their way to help you feel much better." Raya simply said."Sweetheart? If you were made to choose between me and Jessica. Whom would you choose, would you choose me? The one who loved you, took care of you, and raised you like her own or would you choose that woma
Tessa walked into her friend's room before uttering the very words from her mouth. "Your lawyers have worked out all the papers that you need and they made sure to include your medical certificate from your doctor!" She told Claudia as she rubbed her hands together. “It won’t take long for everything to be ready!” She added."Uhm_ good." Claudia commended with a smile. "It looks like Jessica is ready to fight back. I saw her downstairs, she is still here in your own house. I don't think she plans on leaving here without Raya. She isn't the Jessica you used to know, the one who was quiet as a mouse and could be fooled so easily. That lady grew a backbone, Claudia, and I think that she is seriously into something bigger." Tessa voiced out to her friend. "I'm not afraid of Jessica at all, I control her daughter. Raya listens to no one else but me," Claudia uttered proudly with a smirk displayed on her face. "But how long would she Claudia? Let's face it, Jessica would always be Raya
Mitch had offered them some food and water while they found a table to seat together with the other guest."Thank you so much, Mitch," Hendrix exclaimed while helping her with the cup of water. "This is yours!" Mitch said, dropping another cup of juice in front of Hendrix. "Thank you very much!" He told her before sipping from the drink. "Thank you, actually. You shouldn't have bothered!" Travis reckoned while glaring into space."You don't have to thank me because it wasn't much trouble to me. It was you who made a great effort and took your time to come here but then I'm still very happy that you and Hendrix had made it here because now I feel like I'm not alone anymore." Mitch uttered warmly. "I keep telling you, Mitch. Stop saying that you are alone because we are both here for you!" Hendrix muttered. Travis slowly located her tender hands before clutching them slowly. "He is right, you know, whenever you feel sad. You can count on Hendrix or even me, we would always be her
Nora was dressing to leave for the club. Today was practically a day off for Rose as she walked out of the shower before sitting in front Of the portable dressing Mirror of their room."Hmmm, oh my goodness. Talk about being in love." Nora blurted out while glaring at Ray who stood outside the house without moving away. "I gotta go but I got to give it to your lover boy. I don't think he's giving up any time soon," Nora signaled as Rose walked towards the window to maybe have a look. "It's getting annoying already. He won't leave," Rose uttered while glaring at Ray who seemed to have found a spot to sit. "Give the guy a chance and let him go home, he doesn't look like he plans on giving up!" Nora said with a pout but all that seemed to be in vain. "He can stay there for all I care, I already told him to leave!" Rose persisted. "Have some pity. I know that the poor guy is tired and exhausted!" Nora persuaded. "Nobody asked him to stay, it was his decision because I never forced h
"I would rephrase what I had just said, give me back my daughter and if you don't do exactly as I say, I'm going to take this to court!" Jessica voiced out as Claudia clutched the little girl tightly. "I would be glad if you would save us all the trouble, I know that you are aware that you would lose anyway. We all know that Raya is my daughter and that gives me the right as her mother and not you!" Jessica bellowed. "Yes you are right Jessica, you and I don't need to take this to court because you have won. Raya would just end up getting hurt and I don't honestly want that," Claudia said as her eyes and face were masked with sadness. "Alright, for everybody's peace of mind. I'm returning your daughter to you, Jessica!" Claudia uttered in dry sobs as she pushed the little girl towards the direction of her mother but that had ignited sobs from the girl. "Mommy," Raya simply said in a shaky voice. "You have to promise me that you would take good care of her, okay?" Claudia questi
The next morning, Raya had stacked up her things as the maid's around the house helped her with her luggage towards the taxi that awaited her outside Claudia’s mansion. She had a huge frown on her face but Jessica ignored that and still flashed her a warm smile."Hey, I have a nice house waiting for you," she said before pulling her daughter into a hug unexpectedly. "We would never be apart from each other again. Besides, when you get settled. We would look for your sisters Sasha and Rose." Jessica said with a widened smile.Soon, they had arrived at a house, it was a huge and old-looking mansion. "This is the house I got for all of us to live in!" Jessica said to Raya as Daina walked in their direction dressed in a grey gown and hair packed in a ponytail. "This house might be smaller than the one that you are used to but I promise you that it is decent. You would find your room upstairs but if it is okay with you, can you stay in my room for the time being? We haven't been togethe
The beeping sound of the phone was heard as Raya walked out of the shower before tying her towel around her body. She walked out of the bathroom before picking up her phone to slide the answer button.“Hello mommy?” she said with a widened smile before sitting down on the well-laid bed.“Hello Raya, how are you doing?” Claudia's voice came.“Am doing good and you. Are you starting to feel better mommy?” Raya asked.“No, not really! I think that my condition is starting to get worse than before,” Claudia told her on the phone and that had gotten the little girl worried.“What did the doctor tell you?” Raya asked.“Nothing yet, I-ii can feel my body weakening, i’m really scared right now baby” Claudia responded in a stutter.“Why mommy, what's wrong?” Raya inquired.“Everything is wrong my dear, ever since you were taken away from me by Jessica I feel sadder each passing day but Raya, I'm more concerned about your condition. I’m worried about you, listen to me, honey! Do not trust Jessi
Rose was dressed in a very gorgeous but casual outfit as both she and Ray walked into a very expensive-looking diner to have lunch. She seemed to be glaring around as they walked to the table which had been reserved for them, Ray was quick to pull out a chair for her to take a seat before sitting opposite her.They had picked what to order as they waited for their food but Ray was quick to notice how gloomy she looked.“Hey, why do you look so sad Rose, you don't like the place?” he questioned.“I do and this place looks perfect. I was honestly just thinking about something!” Rose replied.“Huh, what were you thinking about? Common, tell me about it!” He exhorted, nicely.“It's about, it's about my job!” she told him as the waiter brought them their order.“Uhmm, what about your job? What job is that?” he questioned. “Is it schoolwork or is it your job at the hospital?” he implored yet again while pouring her a glass of wine.“Ray, there is something you need to know about me because
