Ray had taken Rose home but she seemed moody and unusual. “You know what? I truly want to see my father, there are so many questions I want to ask him. Like, where was he during the time he suddenly stopped coming home to us?” Rose voiced out, Ray could feel the distress in her voice. “Doesn't your mother know where he currently lives?” Ray asked.“She doesn't, and besides she doesn't seem like someone who wants to know any of that. Mother, is honestly very angry with father and I think understand her.” Rose pointed out. “Who knows, he might drop back here in the hospital. Why don't we wait for a few more days, he might suddenly show up to check on Raya.” Ray pinpointed.“That's true, I hope he does before Raya gets discharged from the hospital because it's the only possible chance for me to get to see him again,” she told Ray who tried to assure her that everything would be fine. “I guess, it's time for me to leave so you can get some rest already!” Ray said.“Alright, thank you s
“Travis?” Claudia called, as she trudged towards Travis wearing a skimpy gown and brown glittering heels to compliment them.“What are you doing here, Claudia?” Travis questioned.“Well, the sister told me that I could find you here. Uh, I was thinking of inviting you somewhere to at least grab a bite. Just a quick snack or coffee at least,” she urged him.“I don't think that can happen because I have a prior arrangement with Rose, and after that, I have to visit Mitch!” Travis further said, and that had left Claudia very curious. “Who is Mitch?” she questioned with an arched eyebrow. “This little girl is a friend of mine who is the same age as my youngest daughter. I guess that is why I’m fond of that little girl,” Travis told her.“But does this Mitch still have her parent around?” Claudia asked, he slowly wiggled his head. “No, she doesn't because the little girl is an orphan,” he responded.“You know what? I think that I could help you arrange for an adoption process!” Claudia
Chantelle was in her room when a sharp blinding pain hit the side of her chest very hard. She fell to the floor while she held her chest and groaned in pain, “ahh,” she groaned painfully.“Auntie, what’s happening to you!” Mitch ran into the room towards her direction. “Mitch, I need your help right now. I need to go to the hospital right now, I can't bear the pain any longer!” she muttered hurriedly with a groan and clenched teeth. The little girl nodded, and she ran out to find help to take her aunt to the hospital. Soon, they were in the hospital while the doctors checked on Chantelle. “What do you call your aunt's illness?” Hendrix asked.“I honestly do not know anything about that, Hendrix, all I know is that when I came into her room. She seemed to be twisting in pain while she held her stomach very tightly on the floor.” Mitch explains in sobs.“Stop crying because I'm very sure that the doctors would do all they can to save your aunt to feel better,” Hendrix said, patting h
The pen in Travis' hands twitches while he examines the booklet in his hands. As much as things weren't going easy right now, he still wanted to at least find his youngest daughter! He began to pen down some things on the paper when his attention was caught short by the clicking of heels. “Hi Travis?” the voice of Claudia filled the air. Travis rubbed his jaw while he watched her take a seat opposite him. “What are you doing here?” he managed to question. “I came here to know if you are doing okay here?” she blurts out while looking around.“You know what Claudia? You shouldn't be checking on me like you used to, it's not necessary!” he told her firmly. “Let me do this because I’m very happy with what I’m doing. What are all those notes for?” she asked. Travis felt uncomfortable with her question but he decided to tell her. “These are names of different orphanages. I just wanted to check if my youngest daughter is in one of these!” Travis responded, he slowly rubbed the nape of h
The next morning, Claudia had dropped by in the orphanage where Travis was staying. “Hey, it's a good thing that I still caught you here. I thought that you might have left already! By the way, this is yours, Mitch!” Claudia voiced while handing the little girl some shopping bags.“I brought you some clothes and some kinds of stuff that you may need. I’m sure that they would all fit you, and also there is some food there too, I’m sure that we don't want to burden ‘sister’ here.” Claudia muttered with a widened smile.“Of course not, you should not worry about that. Especially now that Travis is like a family to me, I told him that it's perfectly alright for Mitch to stay here with me. Anyway, she is familiar with this place!” The nun responded.“Thank you so much, sister!” Travis appreciated. “Uhmm, Travis. Why don't you both stay at my house? You and Mitch are free to live there!” Claudia suggested.“Uhmmm, maybe it's better for us to just stay here but then there's something I want
Claudia gave the flattest looks while she walked into her house. She felt overwhelmed by her actions lately, “And just where have you been again? You seem busy lately!” Tessa said, her gaze fixed on Claudia. “I have been with Travis, I bought some clothes and things for his adopted child.” Claudia blurted out.“His adopted child? Is it not your adopted child too?” Clara, who had been sitting silently, asked. “Wait, what’s going on?” Tessa questioned with a confused expression. Claudia flashed her a lovely smile before taking a seat beside her. She slowly picked up the wine bottle on the table to pour herself a cup, she soon sipped it content before speaking. “Well, you see. This child named Mitch now lives with Travis. Basically, both of their lives with the nun. I had offered them to stay here rather!” Claudia uttered while she played with her nails.“You what? Does that mean they will start living here?” Tessa asked unsure if she had heard her friend so well.“Wait a minute, wha
“Are you angry with me Raya?” Jessica asked, Raya after a while of noticing that she hadn't said a word.“No, I just feel very sad about all that's happening. It seems like the one thing I have been praying for would never ever happen.” Raya said, warm tears slowly dropping to her cheeks.“I want our family to be complete again but then you don't seem like you like father anymore.” Raya voiced as more tears gushed out.“Common, stop crying already. You know the story by now and you know what really happened, please do not force things that you want for us. It just can't happen anymore!” Jessica pointed out.“Can't we ever be like the way we were before all of this happened? A real family,” Raya uttered. “Isn't it true that when we make a mistake. We apologize right away, and ask for forgiveness? That's what you taught me and my sisters when we were little, why don't you just forgive our father?” Raya blurted out.“Isn't it that you were also not with us for a very long time? We also
Rose had met up with Ray. She had been tearing up ever since she left the hospital, her face was presently very red like a tomato. Things weren't going well because her mother was proving entirely stubborn. The moment Ray caught a glimpse of her. He didn't have to question her but he tried to comfort her, “Why is it like this? It seems like I could never find happiness, for many years I have waited for my mother and father but now that they are here. They don't want to be with each other!” Rose blurt out the instant she was calm. “Haven't I already told you that you should leave them alone for a while, give them their space?” Ray said calmly.“You mean, I should just let them be like this? Remember, these are my parents. It's been a long time since we saw one another or been together.” she pointed out. “We were still little kids but I would always be thrilled seeing them happy. I told myself that when the time comes, and when I eventually get married! I want to be like them and ha
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
