Meanwhile, Rose walked into Drayton's office. He had offered her a seat which she took voluntarily. “You know what, I still can't believe the fact that you had agreed to be with my son after multiple tries to get your attention,” Drayton said, he slowly got up from where he had been sitting. He trudged towards where she sat before placing his hands on her shoulder but she was fast enough to shove them away and stand up on her feet.“I better get back to work, sir,” Rose said in a stutter and weak legs.“Stay a bit!” he urged.“I can't do that sir because I have a lot of things to do,” Rose said, she was about to leave but he held her arms tightly.“You don't need to do anything because I'm the boss around here, and I happen to give the rules, all you have to do right now is to amuse me!” he told her, his hands wrapped themselves around her waist while she tried hard to be let go. “Let me go, what the hell are you doing?” she said struggling to set herself free but he shoved her to t
Rodrigo was on the phone while Jessica waited patiently for him to hang up. “Alright, thanks a lot!” Rodrigo responded to the caller on the other line before hanging up.“So, what did the attorney say?” Jessica asked the minute he hung up.“Well, he said that the pre-trial is still ongoing and would begin the day after tomorrow, he said you and Travis need to talk regarding the custody of the children and the things that you both own,” Rodrigo informed while she listened carefully. “Um, if you want, I could accompany you when you decide to talk to Travis,” Rodrigo suggested. “Don't you think that I should prioritize looking for my daughter first instead of thinking and worrying about the annulment that I have to go through?” Jessica questioned.“Jessica, it's just that everything is already prepared, and it's not like we have stopped looking for your youngest daughter, right?” Rodrigo asked.“While the case is going on, we would still keep up with the search process!” Rodrigo told h
It “Where In the world does that man lives because I’m going to arrest him right now, how on earth could he do that? I would have him arrested.” Jessica screamed angrily at the top of her voice.She stood up to leave but Rose pulled her back while in tears. “Pleaseeee, don't!” Rose pleaded as a tear slipped down her cheeks like a faulty tap.“Do you expect us to let him go, what he did to you wasn't right.” Jessica lamented breathing hard.“Mother, please don't go please,” Rose said while she sobbed, Jessica sighed heavily before plunging back next to her daughter.“Darling, did he maybe hurt you?” Jessica managed to question.“I honestly tried explaining my own side to them but none of them would even believe me, it hurt badly mother, this is all my fault, and I should have told Ray about this before!” Rose uttered as a hiccup escaped her lips and her breathing slowed down.“None of this is your fault because if Ray truly loves you as he had claimed. He would listen to what you have
“Can I talk to you for a few minutes?” Rodrigo asked Travis who was busy looking at the sketched drawing which was forsaken on the table. “Sure, what's it about?” Travis questioned unnerved.“Do you by chance still love, Jessica?” Rodrigo questioned but that had only earned him a chuckle from Travis.“I’m asking because we are planning on getting married, and I’m giving her the life that you never gave her,” Rodrigo said harshly.“Uh, if that is the case. I don't think you have anything to worry about, I mean you won right?” Travis questioned back.“You don't understand but I want you to stay away from her!” Rodrigo told him blandly. “I can see what you are up to, I know that you want her again but I won't allow it because you would only end up hurting her again!” Rodrigo added. “I’m grateful for the help that you have given my family but I don't think that you have the right to tell me to stay away from her, remember that in your skull that she is still my wife, and still very muc
The next morning, Chantelle had gone over to Claudia's mansion but she was told that they stopped by at Jessica's home.“Don’t worry, they would be here soon. They have been at Jessica's since last night, and I think that I heard Rose had a problem!” Claudia informed.“I hope that they would be okay soon because Jessica is a good person who doesn't deserve all of this!” Chantelle spoke up and the little scowl that grew on Claudia's face was observable.Their conversation was caught short when Travis and Mitch walked into the house. “Auntie, what are you doing here?” Mitch asked the moment she noticed Chantelle.“Mitch, my dear. I have been through the hospital, and I’m finally out of there!” Chantelle said hugging the little girl.“Travis, I hope everything is good with your eldest daughter. Claudia had mentioned to me about what had happened,” Chantelle spoke out.“Uhmm, she is not doing so good but she is a little better than she had been last night,” Travis said rubbing his both h
ONE WEEK LATER It's been a whole week since they found out about Mitch's real parents but the little girl seemed uneasy about the people who had docked to be her parents.They were all gathered while they waited for the doctor who had done the DNA to declare the result to them. “We are all here today to find out if the DNA regarding Mitch is a match.” Claudia voiced out first. The doctor nodded before pulling the paper out of her bag. She slowly handed it over to Claudia who pulled the paper open to read for herself and when she had seen what had been declared.She slowly passed the paper down to Chantelle who also starred at the paper together with Jessica, and lastly Travis who looked more than perplexed by the outcome of the result. “Are they my real parents, auntie Claudia?” the little girl asked, holding Chantelle very tightly. “Yes, they are Mitch because the DNA result from the doctor had carried out turned out positive. These person here is your legitimate parents,” Claudi
“Mother, any news about Mitch?” Raya questioned her mother while they ate their breakfast. “Uhmm, is she going to visit soon?” Raya raised another question while she munched on her food.“I’m honestly not sure Raya but I know for sure that Chantelle told me she was going to visit her tomorrow, she told me that she would ask Mitch's parents for permission to bring her here,” Jessica said.“Mother, what if her parent doesn't allow her to come here, do you think it is okay to visit her there instead?” Raya asked. “Uh, of course, why not!” Jessica said with a smile. “Mother, I was thinking that I should just for now focus on looking for Sasha. I was honestly just encouraged by what had happened to Mitch!” Rose spoke up after a long while. “I want you to know that I’m very happy about that, this way it would keep your mind off what Ray had done to you,” Jessica uttered. “It's very difficult and I won't deny that but I just don't want to think about this, I know that I would be able to
“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
