Travis had one hope left now. He felt that going to his hometown to find his stepmother and have a talk with her was the only way to have an idea of where his kids were. "This is the last place that I went to yesterday, this is the exact place I found your stepmother's house." The volunteer whose name was Esther told Travis. "Uhhh__ is she maybe here? I want to speak with her!" Travis asked the lady while twirling everywhere blindly. "I'm only a volunteer, I have never seen your stepmother to know if she is here but we can ask around!" Esther suggested while holding his arm. "I just noticed some men, they seemed to be around the area. Why don't we ask them about her?" Esther said smartly as Travis nodded in agreement. Esther held the arms of Travis to lead him in the direction she was referring to. "Hello, can I please ask you something?" Esther said. "Yes, go ahead!" The men who looked like gamblers replied with their various tattooed bodies."Have you please seen Samuel around
AFTER SEVEN YEARS Outside the very expensive bar meant for the richest people in the city of Netherlands sat a very beautiful young girl of nineteen. She sighed deeply before running a hand through her dark short hair in a frustrated way, "I wonder where my sisters are right now or how they are doing?" She uttered letting all the breath she had been holding out freely. A tear soon slipped out of her eyes before they rolled down her cheeks freely. "Hey Rose, Common girl! I didn't have any idea that you had been sticking here. I wouldn't have been trying to get you on your phone, It's almost seven and you know very well that our first show starts before eight o'clock. We better get going to change or Madam Rhoda would get upset with us if we don't get changed soon!" Nora told her friend who let off a little sniff before wiping her cheeks dry. Rose took her bag before bringing out a few copies of papers that had the picture of her sister when she was younger. "Your sisters have been
"Hey madame, you can buy your bracelet for your kids for three dollars. I know that they would love it!" The young adorable girl of seven said running towards an old lady by the street side. "You want me to pay three dollars for this? It doesn't even look presentable or good enough to be bought, I won't even pay a dollar for this!" The lady harshly said."Who allowed such a young girl like you to market such?" The lady scoffed under her breath before leaving. "Hey mister, please buy one of these bracelets and I know that your kids would love it!" The young girl told the tall man with a low cut to buy from her but he shoved her away. "I don't know why kids now act this way, just quit blocking our way and step aside!" The man yelled angrily. "Mitch, Mitch. Your aunt Chantel has been looking for you and she's been having a wild fit!" The haggard-looking but adorable little boy at the age of eight to nine said running towards her. "Oh no, is she back home already?" Mitch asked, a lit
The professor was present in class as the student in medical school seemed dressed in all white outfits while they had their classes. "Okay class, kindly open your book to page 145. It's just the continuation of the discussion we had last time regarding how to assess the patience at the emergency room___," the professor uttered but the trudging in of footsteps got his attention. "It's a good thing that you have decided to attend my class miss Franco. I mean, you are too early for tomorrow's class!" The professor joked, making all the students burst into numerous laughter. Rose ignored all their laughter as she moved toward the vacant seat. "Wait, hold on there. Are you going to sit down? Well miss Franco, perhaps you may do the honor of answering this." The professor said as Rose gave a simple nod. "A patient arrived at the emergency department complaining of midsternal chest pain, what would you do?" The professor asked."The Priority nursing action of the arrival of the patient
Raya stood in the garden area staring at the plant longer than she had expected. She was so glad they were back home and just maybe her sisters could reunite once again with her, her hands gently caressed the flower unhurriedly."Raya, tell me how it was like living in another state?" Lisa asked startling Raya a little bit. "Uhmmm, to be honest,___ everything went so well!" Raya answered simply and politely."Did you have fun? Did you have many friends over there?" Lisa asked."Well, I had friends but not a lot," Raya told her before sniffing the flower she had plugged out. "Uhmmm__ don't you ever miss being with your real parent?" Lisa asked as Raya gave her a half smile. "Sorry about that, I thought that you already knew that Aunt Claudia wasn't your real mother. I honestly didn't mean to offend you, me and my big mouth should learn how to shut it!" Lisa said glaring at the floor with a decoy grimace. "Common, it's okay because I wasn't that offended. It's just that I have long
"Rose, Raya?" Jessica called outside the dark brown gate of their home but no one had replied. "Sasha, Emerald! I'm home. Emerald, it's me Jessica. Is anybody home?" Jessica yelled out but got no response. Her hands gently slipped into the inside hook before pulling the gate open."Hello here?" She screamed at the top of her voice yet again."Jessica, I don't think anybody lives here. It honestly looks deserted. Are you sure anybody lives here?" Diana said scanning every where keenly. "But this is where we all lived in Diana, who is home? Emerald," Jessica uttered. "Jessica, is that you?" A lady dressed in a flowery gown said approaching them. "It's you Rita, do you have any idea on where my kids are?" Jessica asked glaring keenly at the lady. "Nobody has been living in this house for a long time, no one has lived here ever since it got abandoned. I'm the only one who looks after the house and water the plant in here, you've been gone for a long time Jessica. Where have you been?
"Never a night or day has gone by without me thinking about my kids, they are always in my thoughts. I have always imagined a hundred times of what they are going to look like now, I also wondered about their reaction when we meet again! Not even once have I given up on them because they are the reason why I should keep on hoping and holding on!" Jessica said, sitting on the couch in Rita's apartment. "Uhm___, I honestly thought that as I get home today. I would become very happy and never had I realized that I would be besieged by so many problems, the painful fact is that I'm not even sure if I would be able to see them again!" Jessica uttered bursting out into another random tear. "But why have you been gone for so long, Jessica? Your children had been anxiously and patiently waiting for you but you never came back. Where did you really go and why did it take you this long to finally return?" Rita asked, as Jessica went into Trance. ""(Madam, when exactly are you going to let me
Rose sat in front of a desk that had a poster that read. (Lay your complaint here) she clutched her bag tightly while waiting for the policeman to attend to her. "Sir, I just want to find out if you have gotten any news about my sister?" Rose asked the fully dressed policeman in a blue uniform. "This is about your sister getting kidnapped right?" He asked, checking a file in front of him. "Yes, that's right and I was also here last month!" Rose explained to him. "Oh, that's right! I remember you because one of my assigned co-officer had told me about you, he said that you have been following the case!" The officer uttered, staring keenly at the paper in front of him. "It's because I want to be with my sisters again!" Rose said even if her reasons for searching for them were obvious to everyone. "He told me that you weren't going to stop looking but it's been seven years already, right?" The officer asked, making Rose sigh. "Uhmm__ don't you think that your sister may have pass
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
