"How about my niece's?" Emerald, who seemed frustrated because of what Jessica had led out of her mouth, asked."Emerald, you are the only one I can depend on. Would you be able to help me please?" Jessica inquired and Emerald seriously didn't know what to tell her. "My kid truly needs their father by their side Emerald and I know that you are also bothered about your brother!" Jessica said, staring at Emerald keenly. "I truly understand aunt but remember that they also need a mother!" Emerald said smartly as Jessica stared at her lap not knowing exactly what to say next. "They will get through this. You see if I don't do anything! Then who would? No one else will look for Travis!" Jessica said already in tears as her collar bones seemed to be popping out. "Aunt?" Emerald called rubbing her back to soothe her."I truly don't know what to do now but I need to stay strong Emerald!" Jessica said in a shaky and cracked voice. "I understand you, I truly do, aunt!" Emerald said, huggin
AFTER SEVERAL MONTHIt was late at night and Jessica was standing close to a huge river with her kids hugging her tightly. "Jessica, the boat is already ready and about to leave so make your goodbyes snappy." Aunt Clara said. Jessica nodded before leaving a warm kiss on each of her kids' foreheads. She collected her daughter Sasha from Emerald, Jessica closed her eyes before leaving a kiss on her forehead. "I would miss you, Sasha, I would always think about you and your sisters," Jessica said, rubbing her daughter's back. Jessica swiftly turned before glaring at Emerald who nodded before blinking her eyes. "Remember the things I told you, Rose, keep your sisters close and take care of them okay?" Jessica warned as her eldest nodded. "Don't you worry about us mother," Rose assured. "Make sure you take care of Jessica, please call us if you need any help. Call us anytime and I will do everything I can and don't worry about the children because I would give them the care of a mothe
Claudia had sauntered into the room she had locked Travis in once again but this time around with a tray filled with food and a cup of chilled juice beside the food. "Claudia?" Travis called, adjusting himself on the bed as he touched just anything to stand up but failed inadequately. "Yes, it's me!" Claudia uttered, dropping the tray on the bed close to Travis. "I brought you food because you might think I'm letting you starve!" Claudia said, rubbing her arms together. "Claudia, I'm begging you to please let me go, let me go to Flevo land, please. Have pity on me and my family!" Travis begged. "Have pity? Did you just ask me to have pity?" Claudia barked angrily. "Tell me something Travis, did you ever pity me when I was asking that from you? Did you ever for once feel sorry for me when I lost my daughter and father at the same time?" Claudia asked but Travis seemed to be shaking nervously. "Well, you didn't! What did you do exactly? You decided to leave me alone even if you k
DUBAI BORDERSJessica and the rest of the people on the boat had just landed somewhere close to their destination. The boat conductor had instructed them to gather together, he handed them each a headscarf each as a form of disguise. "That's exactly where we are going to but we arrived too early. It's dangerous to go there because that place is usually heavily guarded by authorities!" The man explained. "If it is heavily guarded as you say, why are we then here, sir?" Jessica asked worriedly as she tried to adjust her fallen scarf. "Well, we have to hide here in the meantime! Maybe in the woods. We will let you all know when it is safe to evaporate from here! Now follow me," the man instructed as everyone followed behind him closely with their bags in their grip tightly. Soon enough, they had found somewhere safe to rest and maybe spend the night. They all gathered around the fire that illuminated little light made from the fire woods hurdled around, the only sound heard was that
"Are we there yet?" Jessica asked. She and Rebbeca had both strolled towards a direction before halting to look around. It was morning and they were set to find Travis. "Well, can I see the paper again?" Rebecca asked as Jessica handed the now roughly squeezed paper to her. Rebecca glared at the paper before beaming a little. "We're around the place, all we need to do is to look for the exact street, let both wait here and maybe ask for help from a passerby!" Rebecca said and she nodded. Shortly, a lady walked in their direction covered well with no exposed skin. "Excuse me?" Rebecca said in the native language they could understand. "Do you by chance know this street?" She asked, showing the stranger the piece of paper. "Sorry, I honestly don't know anything about the address!" The lady simply replied. "Thank you so much then," Rebecca said, bowing her head as the lady walked away. "Rebecca, what did that lady say?" Jessica asked curiously. "Well, she said there's no such stre
Jessica has been sitting inside the huge mansion for an hour now and she was tired, hungry, and exhausted. She wondered why Rebecca was taking so much time to get back here, she got up from the chair to maybe look around but a voice startled her. "Hey, are you new here?" The voice asked. "Uhmm__ uhh, my name is Jessica! I was just waiting for my friend Rebecca." Jessica simply responded. "You don't know exactly what you have gotten yourself into. Please, escape right now before you start regretting it. You've no idea what happens here, you shouldn't end up like me or any of the workers." The lady said with a serious tone but Jessica still didn't understand what she meant."Uhmm__ I honestly don't know what you are talking about!" Jessica told her, gazing at her intensely. "Wait, do you mean that this place is bad luck?" Jessica asked. "Stop asking a question and leave this place while you still have the time," the lady warned yet again. "But why are you asking me to leave?" Jessi
"Come on, you all have to hurry up! Mrs. Samad wants you all to finish your work and you, over there. Why are you not touching your food?" The guard who had just given them their dinner to eat before they continued with their work implored. "Uhmm, sir? Can I please go out for a while?" Jessica asked the man. "It's not allowed!" The man said with a scowl on his face. "I'm just going to talk to Mrs. Samad and it's only going to take a few minutes," Jessica pleaded. "You're a real pest. I already told you no several times!" The man said. "Please, have mercy on me! It would only take one minute, please. It's very important!" Jessica begged, gripping his shirt a little. "Why are you so clingy and stubborn? I said that it's not allowed, would you just quit?" The man yelled angrily before walking away. "Would you stop it? How many times do I have to tell you that you're just wasting your time and energy? You are never going to escape or neither would they allow you out of here!" Mai
Claudia's eyes slowly flickered open. She closed them shut before rubbing her head when she felt a sharp blinding pain around her head, she slowly stared at her surroundings. She soon promptly got up when she realized what had transpired some minutes ago with Travis. "Shit, Travis?" She called walking towards the bathroom direction to maybe check if he was there. "Travis, stop playing games with me!" Claudia said taking out her phone to place a call but went against it. "How dare you try to escape, Travis? I'm going to kill you first before you think you can escape from me!" Claudia said between gritted teeth. She promptly ran down the stairs to see if maybe Travis might have not gone far but she only panicked more when she noticed that the door was left wide open. "Guard, Guard?" She yelled while running outside the house."You idiot, where the hell is Travis?" Claudia asked not minding the fact that the guard was still crouched to the floor while whimpering in pain. "I'm so s
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
