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
Ray strolled down the stairs before walking towards the direction of the dining table to notice his parents having breakfast. He seemed excited today as he slowly hugged his mother from behind before leaving a warm peck on her hair. “Good morning mom!” he greeted as she responded sweetly in return.“Good Morning dad!” He greeted his father who only made a sound before he sat on the empty seat beside his father. The maid beside him had begun to serve every delicious-looking meal on the table on his plate when his mother had thrown a question at him. “So, what's this I am hearing that you broke it off with Stephanie?” his mother asked as his expression instantly changed to that of a frown. “Your mother is talking to you!” his father muttered rigorously. “Look, I have said this before. I don't love Stephanie!” Ray said politely.“But you hurt her Ray for goodness sake, you were already engaged. Don'tyou care about how she feels?” his mother explained questionably.“So, I never asked
“It's true mommy, just as you told me. I have been observing over here and that is how I found out!” Raya told Claudia on the phone.“Listen, try to find out how she got that money and clues to where she is hiding it, okay?” Claudia instructed very carefully. “Yes mommy, I would do just that but I miss you so much!” Raya uttered with a much softer voice.“I know that and I also miss you too! I love you very much. I honestly want all of this to end quickly and soon because I want to get back the riches they stole from us, I also want to go back to living in peace before they ruined everything. Hunny, I want you to come back home to me as soon as possible. Do you understand why this has to be done, Raya?” she asked with her words clustered on the phone.“Don't worry because I do understand mommy!” she responded. “You know what to do, take extra care when you are around them, and observe everything. Be mindful of everyone there, and be extra vigilant. Okay?” Claudia warned.“I will, mo
Ever since Grandma Flora's death, Mitch has been gloomy and less active. She was presently at the diner when she noticed Hendrix making some signal signs but she slowly wiggled her head to tell him off. “Come on!” Hendrix finally muttered but she nonetheless still ignored him. “Isn't that your friend?” one of the workers at the diner questioned.“Yes he is!” she answered barely.“I think he is calling you,” The worker told Mitch.“I’m not allowed to go out because aunt Chantelle would get mad at me if I do!” Mitch yelled loudly for Hendrix to hear. The sad expression masked on his face after he heard that was visible, and he gave a small sigh before leaving. Hendrix felt hurt for some seconds but he understood why she had acted that way. He had gone to see Travis as they strolled down one of the streets in the Netherlands.“I honestly intend to help Mitch out but the question is how?” Travis blurted out.“I have no idea myself, sincerely, her aunt is a mean woman who is nothing but
Raya ran upstairs to her room before pulling out her phone briskly to dial Claudia’s number, her hands seemed to be trembling nonstop as she did that.“Hey, I thought that you weren't going to call today, why? What's going on, Hunny?” Claudia questioned from the other line. “Mommy, they were the ones who stole all your money!” Raya said it all hyper and panicky. “I knew it, they were the thieves all along. We have to do something to bring them to justice!” Claudia uttered from the other line as she paced from one place to another.“Mommy, I'm honestly scared right now, they are planning to send you to jail because they all have witnesses that they are paying off!” Raya voiced worriedly with furrowed eyebrows. “Nooo, I can't allow them to do that to me! The nerve of those monsters. I won't allow myself to be pushed around like an animal, this gives me more reason to take back what they stole from me with immediate effect!” Claudia's voice came out angrily and unsettled. “Mommy, wh
Nora was done eating and was about to leave for the club but the moment she sauntered outside the house. She noticed Ray outside their house.“Oh hi, please is Rose in?!” he had asked the minutes he saw her. “Oh yeah, but she is already asleep right now. She was out all day looking for a job, and she went to bed almost immediately!” Nora told him.“Is that so?” Ray questioned while rubbing his sweaty hands on his clothes. “Would you like me to wake her up for you?” Nora inquired while turning back but he was quick to stop her instantly. “No, you shouldn't bother. We should let her catch up on her sleep because she is working very hard as it is!” Ray said with a small smile masking his face.“I know what you mean, she pushes herself too much sometimes. She's been having financial problems lately and she's worried about her tuition. She needs to buy textbooks as well then and there’s a thing with her sisters again!” Nora explained.“I truly want to help her out, I wish I could do som
“So how would this event of mine be like?” Claudia asked further.“Here is what I have been thinking. As a very good and close friend of yours, I know that you are dealing with your personal problems right now but I want you to know that I would be the one to host the annual party of your company!” Tessa told her friend.“Are you serious?” Claudia questioned while shaking the glass cup of wine in her hands with a little smile of satisfaction masked on them. “Of course, I figured that since I’m doing well because of your company. I just think that it’s time to share some of my blessings too,” Tessa said with a charming and sweet smile.Meanwhile, Ray and Eric were seated at their favorite bar but the look on Ray’s face was bleak and wrinkled. “Waiter, two vodkas please!” Eric simply said before glaring at his friend. “What’s wrong with you dude? You don’t seem like you, did something happen?!” Eric questioned as they wait for their order to arrive .“I’m having a hard time, I honest
Travis blinked his eyes before speaking. “I’m sorry that we didn't get to spend enough time with you but please know that we love you so much!” he said dropping the flower on the grave.“Goodbye to you now Aunt Chantelle. Thank you so much for everything because you offered your good life to me so I could have a longer life. I truly love and miss you, Aunt Chantelle!” the little girl said, sobbing hard.“Let's go home!” Travis said to his family after they had dropped the flowers they had all brought. That evening, Rose was dressed up in a very beautiful strapped gown because she was meeting up with Ray. He had given her an address at which she had just arrived in. For a second she had doubted if this was the exact place he wanted her to come to because something had felt off.The light in the whole place was off, and it looked dark. She had thought of calling him but the light turned on showing the decorated area.Rose raised an eyebrow in surprise, she took a moment to glance arou
Travis slowly walked towards Jessica, he bit his bottom lip trying hard not to fumble with whatever he had to say. “Jessica, I know that I have caused you so much pain. I wasn't there for our children but I hope that you can forgive me because not for a moment did I stop loving you.” Travis said, rubbing the nape of his neck. “Remember the man who promised to love you all his life? That's still me Jessica, I want you to please give me one last chance for the sake of our children for me to prove what I’m saying is the truth,” he begged, she stared at him for a few seconds.Her hands slowly caressed his cheeks softly before limping and placing a warm kiss on his lips, and right after they hugged themselves tightly. “Rose?” the voice of Ray came gaining her attention.“Ray?” she responded before striding towards where he stood. “Rose, my father and I already talked, and he had told me everything. He told me that nothing had happened between you two and that you were a good woman.” Ra
Ray was eating out with his friend Eric when his attention landed on a familiar face in the bistro.“Be honest with me, are you getting back with Stephanie because of your mother or because you are still very much hurt by what Rose had done?” Eric questioned.Before he could say anything, Blake trudged toward where they are and that had pissed him off. Ray stood up from where he was seating, he grabbed Blake by the collar before punching him very hard in the face.“What are you doing here?” Ray yelled out angrily while his friend tried to pull him away. “Bro take it easy!” Eric said trying to hold him back.“Let's go of me!” Ray said, furiously. Blake on the other hand seemed to be recovering from the punch, he placed a finger at the side of his lips.“I didn't come here to pick a fight with you, I came here to make amends after I noticed you sitting here. I just want you to know that Rose didn't do anything wrong, I have known her to be a good person, and I know that she loves you
After Chantelle had heard what Tessa was saying on the phone. She slowly used another route in the hospital to leave without being noticed, she felt so much anger right now because Claudia had made them look like a fool.She got down from the taxi before running into the church where Jessica was about to get married. “Jessica?” she yelled out the moment she walked into the quiet church to see everyone seated.From the look of things, Rodrigo and Jessica had just stood at the altar to exchange vows.The murmuring from the seated crowd became vociferous. “Chantelle?” Jessica called in shock.“Jessica, you need to know something very important. It's Mitch, she is your missing daughter Sasha!” Chantelle told her but she looked beyond confused.“But how did that happen?” Jessica asked unsure if she had heard well.“I overheard a conversation between Claudia and Tessa earlier. They were talking about how they want to keep Mitch with them, Claudia basically wants to marry Travis so she cou
Their wedding day had finally arrived. Clara was still locked and being monitored by Claudia’s men, her men seemed to have brought breakfast for Clara who looked a mess.“Uh Marcos, isn't today the wedding of Claudia and Travis? Right?” she asked. “Yes, and the same wedding as Jessica and Rodrigo.” Marco had said and that had made Clara chuckle.“Seriously, those women are two crazy fools. Who would have thought that they would be getting married on the same day?” Clara uttered.“Um, what time is the wedding ceremony?” Clara questions further.“From what I heard, it’s happening later in the day by Two PM,” Marcos informed.“Can you please tell me the church where it would be held!” Clara asked, while she slowly pulled the iron from behind without him noticing.He was going to respond but she was quick to hit him with the iron on the head causing him to hit the floor. “Why haven’t I done this since? I’m coming for you Claudia, and I would make you pay for what you did to me!” Clara s
“Mitch, have you been there the whole time?” Claudia asked in a little hint of panic.“No, I just got here because I have been willing to apologize to you because I can be a little hard-headed sometimes. I’m truly sorry about that, and also I would like to thank you for taking very good care of me.” Mitch said with so much appreciation in her voice.“It's nothing Mitch, and I understand where you are coming from but what I really want for you is to be happy all the time because starting from today, I’m your new mummy!” Claudia told the little girl.“Thank you so much again!” Mitch said with a smile.“Alright then, why don't you go to Lisa’s room, you can play with her!” Claudia urged as the little girl nodded before leaving. “See that Clara, the kid almost caught us. Don't you dare do that again?” Claudia said with clenched teeth.“Why are you blaming me, Claudia? I was only borrowing money from you, why don't you just hand me the money so that I could leave!” Clara voiced.Claudia s
“What? You are telling me that June and Larry weren't Mitch's legitimate parents?” Claudia asked, surprised like she was hearing this for the first time.“That's right, Mitch heard the conversation between those two and tried to escape. It was a good thing that Raya, Jessica, and I had gone there!” Travis muttered while tucking both his hands in his pocket.“Uhmm but how comes was the DNA positive? I mean, the result that was shown to us clearly told us that they were related.” Claudia said with a stunned expression.“That was exactly what I couldn't place or understand. It made me wonder as well!” Travis spoke up.“Well, obviously the DNA test was fake, and I want to get to the bottom of this,” Travis said.“I would like to use the restroom real quick!” Travis said before leaving both Claudia and Mitch together. “Love, why do you seem so sad?” Claudia asked the moment she sat close to the little girl. “I was only thinking about my real parent, and who my real father and mother are.
“Hey, why do you look so happy even though Travis had completely left your home? Let me guess, is his annulment final?” Tessa asked her friend.“He is as good as annulled and by the look of things, I’m slowly getting the trust of Travis because he had told me earlier today that he would think about us getting married again, isn't that wonderful?” Claudia said giggling happily.“He truly said that, I think that I’m impressed!” Tessa comments. “Cheers!” Tessa said clinging her glass with Claudia’s.“Cheers,” Claudia responded doing exactly the same thing.“You know what, I’m truly amazed by how you are Claudia. Imagine, you were able to manipulate the DNA test that was meant for Mitch.” Tessa said shrugging her shoulder casually. “Of course, all it took was my money to have everyone in the hospital do what I want. Everyone nowadays can be swayed by money,” Claudia said. sipping from her cup. “You are right and now you are even getting closer to taking Mitch far away from Travis and M
“Attorney, there is this matter that I’ve been willing to ask. Is it okay if the both of us talk about it in private?” Rodrigo asked the Attorney who nodded. “Why don't we go over there?” the attorney said.“Jessica, can you please excuse me for a bit?” Rodrigo inquired, she nodded slightly before kissing her forehead softly. Jessica was going through the file while Rodrigo was away but the next voice had gotten her attention.“Jessica, I thought you had already left?” Travis asked taking a seat opposite her. “No, Rodrigo is still speaking with the attorney!” she informed. “I honestly didn't know that the hearing would take this long,” Travis said.“It's a good thing that I didn't bring the children. Were you able to visit Mitch?” Jessica questioned.“No, but I was able to visit their house yesterday. Larry had said that Mitch and her mother went to the mall but I honestly plan on visiting them tomorrow!” Travis explained.“Would you mind taking our daughters with you? You know wh
