"Rose, you seem sluggish since this morning. Do you feel sick because you honestly look pale!" One of Rose's friends at school had asked her as they left the academic building. "No, I didn't just get enough sleep last night!" Rose responded quickly."But why do you always like to stay up so late? You must be studying way too hard. I have to go, see you tomorrow." Her friend said before leaving.The moment her friend had left. She tried to take a step further but a blinding pain in her head had hit her hard causing her to almost hit the ground but strong arms caught her before she could. "Rose," the voice of Ray came as he held her tightly to stop her from falling. The minutes she had gotten herself back. She quickly and briskly untangled herself from his grip."Hey Ray, what exactly are you doing here, and didn't we agree that you won't bother me anymore after our date?" She asked plainly while adjusting her hair. "But Rose, I'm not here to bother you. It was actually a good thing
"So how is it that you were not able to get back the money that was stolen from you? Does that also mean? You would go broke?" Tessa asked as they strolled down the stairs."Of course not, I still have other business. I won't just suddenly just get poor. Do you know what my concern is right now? It's Jessica. How could it be that she is still alive? I saw her pictures as proof the night that she was killed by my hired killers." Claudia voiced out displeased."You mean that you ordered for Jessica to be killed?" Tessa questioned with widened eyes. "That's right, she is causing trouble between me and Raya," Claudia uttered yet again to her friend. "But isn't it true that the evidence found in your house was her?" Tessa uttered."That is exactly my point, how could that have happened?" Claudia questioned. "Well, there are two answers to that. Either, Jessica is haunting you or your hired killers are the ones who have fooled you." Her friend simply told her and that had made Claudia mor
Clara and Claudia seemed to be stacking up some few boxes when Raya walked inside the room."Mummy, is our flight leaving tonight?" She asked simply."Yes darling, we have to leave right away because I'm already scheduled for a series of checkups for the next few days. I'm honestly sorry that we had to rush up everything like this," Claudia explained while patting her hair softly. "It's alright mummy, I won't complain because I'm making this trip for you to get better." Raya clamored with a smile. "Aunt Claudia? You are leaving?" Lisa who had sauntered into the room asked. "We are going abroad, Lisa because mummy is sick and needs some treatment," Raya said.Soon, they had begun to take out there luggage one after the other down the stairs as Claudia walked behind them. "Clara, I would expect you to be in charge here when Raya and I aren't around," Claudia uttered while Clara bopped her head in understanding. "Alright, you have nothing to worry about, I have heard all that you sa
Claudia's eyes lit up slowly. She stared around while calling on Raya's name. "Mummy, you are finally awake," Raya said while going over to sit beside Claudia. "Raya, thank Goodness you are here. I thought that you left me already!" Claudia exclaimed as the door of her room slowly pulled open a little bit. Jessica seemed to be eavesdropping through the open space without them noticing. "I can never do that to you mommy," Raya voiced out as Jessica's eyes slowly filled itself with hurt. "Thank you so much darling, I don't know how I would ever live without you here!" Claudia uttered while patting Raya's hair calmly. "Me too mummy, I also can't live without you too. Please you have to get better okay? The doctors are on their way to help you feel much better." Raya simply said."Sweetheart? If you were made to choose between me and Jessica. Whom would you choose, would you choose me? The one who loved you, took care of you, and raised you like her own or would you choose that woma
Tessa walked into her friend's room before uttering the very words from her mouth. "Your lawyers have worked out all the papers that you need and they made sure to include your medical certificate from your doctor!" She told Claudia as she rubbed her hands together. “It won’t take long for everything to be ready!” She added."Uhm_ good." Claudia commended with a smile. "It looks like Jessica is ready to fight back. I saw her downstairs, she is still here in your own house. I don't think she plans on leaving here without Raya. She isn't the Jessica you used to know, the one who was quiet as a mouse and could be fooled so easily. That lady grew a backbone, Claudia, and I think that she is seriously into something bigger." Tessa voiced out to her friend. "I'm not afraid of Jessica at all, I control her daughter. Raya listens to no one else but me," Claudia uttered proudly with a smirk displayed on her face. "But how long would she Claudia? Let's face it, Jessica would always be Raya
Mitch had offered them some food and water while they found a table to seat together with the other guest."Thank you so much, Mitch," Hendrix exclaimed while helping her with the cup of water. "This is yours!" Mitch said, dropping another cup of juice in front of Hendrix. "Thank you very much!" He told her before sipping from the drink. "Thank you, actually. You shouldn't have bothered!" Travis reckoned while glaring into space."You don't have to thank me because it wasn't much trouble to me. It was you who made a great effort and took your time to come here but then I'm still very happy that you and Hendrix had made it here because now I feel like I'm not alone anymore." Mitch uttered warmly. "I keep telling you, Mitch. Stop saying that you are alone because we are both here for you!" Hendrix muttered. Travis slowly located her tender hands before clutching them slowly. "He is right, you know, whenever you feel sad. You can count on Hendrix or even me, we would always be her
Nora was dressing to leave for the club. Today was practically a day off for Rose as she walked out of the shower before sitting in front Of the portable dressing Mirror of their room."Hmmm, oh my goodness. Talk about being in love." Nora blurted out while glaring at Ray who stood outside the house without moving away. "I gotta go but I got to give it to your lover boy. I don't think he's giving up any time soon," Nora signaled as Rose walked towards the window to maybe have a look. "It's getting annoying already. He won't leave," Rose uttered while glaring at Ray who seemed to have found a spot to sit. "Give the guy a chance and let him go home, he doesn't look like he plans on giving up!" Nora said with a pout but all that seemed to be in vain. "He can stay there for all I care, I already told him to leave!" Rose persisted. "Have some pity. I know that the poor guy is tired and exhausted!" Nora persuaded. "Nobody asked him to stay, it was his decision because I never forced h
"I would rephrase what I had just said, give me back my daughter and if you don't do exactly as I say, I'm going to take this to court!" Jessica voiced out as Claudia clutched the little girl tightly. "I would be glad if you would save us all the trouble, I know that you are aware that you would lose anyway. We all know that Raya is my daughter and that gives me the right as her mother and not you!" Jessica bellowed. "Yes you are right Jessica, you and I don't need to take this to court because you have won. Raya would just end up getting hurt and I don't honestly want that," Claudia said as her eyes and face were masked with sadness. "Alright, for everybody's peace of mind. I'm returning your daughter to you, Jessica!" Claudia uttered in dry sobs as she pushed the little girl towards the direction of her mother but that had ignited sobs from the girl. "Mommy," Raya simply said in a shaky voice. "You have to promise me that you would take good care of her, okay?" Claudia questi
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
