In the morning, Zach got ready for work in the guest room, while Paige got ready in his bedroom, which he had left for her. Once he came out of the guest room, dressed in a black suit, he saw Paige standing by the door of his room, and waiting for him.He stared at her in surprise. She was wearing a white gown, which was beautiful and made her look sexy. But what surprised him more was the fact that she was wearing thick makeup, and it was the first time he had seen her like that.When Paige saw the way he was staring at her, her confidence faltered, and she asked, "Is it not good? I could've sworn I looked good when I stared at the mirror."Zach chuckled, "C'mon, how can it not look good?"He walked up to her and took her hands in his, "You look beautiful, no matter what color you have on your face."Paige smiled, "Of course, you would say that. I mean, I'm your girlfriend, so naturally, you'd want to compliment me. But you're not allowed to lie to me. If it's not good enough, just l
Paige's mother got up from the bed and stared at her while Paige ran into her arms and hugged her."Mom! Mom," she cried.She held her mom's face, looking at her as tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes, while her mom just kept staring at her with a blank expression."Mom, it's me, your daughter. It's Paige, your Paige. Mom, you're still alive. I've missed you so much, Mom."Vanessa reached out her hands and touched Paige's face, "My Paige? It's really you, Paige."At this time, the sound of the door being shut attracted their attention, and they both looked in the direction of the door.Lillian was standing by the door, with three men by her side. She had a smirk on her face as she stared at both of them with a triumphant expression.Paige glared at her."You're a monster! And you're going to rot in hell, Lillian. I can't believe I respected you. You're an animal," Paige yelled. "You're a beast."Lillian threw her head back and laughed, "Oh, Paige, the dumb and stupid Paige. I am a
Earlier, when Zach entered the compound, he stood by the gate and felt uneasy about leaving Paige alone in the car. So, he sent a text to her new bodyguard saying:"Please, look after Paige."Afterward, he walked towards the back of the house. When he got there, he saw a man approaching him with a knife. It seemed like the man had been waiting for him. He stopped walking while the man kept moving toward him. Just as the man got closer, Zach heard footsteps from behind and realized someone else was coming. He turned his back on both men and began to move away from them, while the two men, who held knives in their hands, approached him from both sides.After creating some distance between himself and both of them, Zach watched as they kept walking towards him. Finally, he took out a gun from the back of his pants and pointed it at them. The men were both surprised because Lilian had told them that Zach wasn't someone who used weapons, and their orders were to stab him to death.Howev
Paige's bodyguard supported Paige's mother with one arm and led her out of the building, right behind Zach and Paige. However, once they got outside, she cried out in pain and fell to the ground.He stared at her in surprise, not understanding what was going on, but then she tried to cover her eyes as she kept crying out that her head was in pain until she lost consciousness.He became alarmed, especially because Zach had already disappeared from his sight. He lifted her off the ground and dashed out of the gate, crossing to the other side of the road, where his car was parked.He put her in the car and quickly drove behind Zach as they headed to the hospital.As she lay on the hospital bed, Paige blinked while listening to a faint conversation going on beside her.Zach was speaking to the doctor, and he seemed surprised by what the doctor was telling him."Are you sure? The knife wasn't poisoned, and it was not because she bled?""Of course, I'm telling you, nothing is wrong with her
Paige led her mom out of the hospital and into Zach's car."We're ready to go now," she said to him.Zach turned and stared at both of them as they sat behind. He flashed them a smile and began to drive.After going a little distance from the hospital, Paige said, "Please don't forget to stop where I told you."Zach nodded, "Of course, I won't forget."A few minutes later, he stopped at a mall while Paige said to her mom, "Please, just give me a few minutes. I'll be back in a jiffy. I just need to get something important, okay?"After saying this, she dashed out of the car and hurried into the shopping mall. Zach kept staring at her until she was out of his view. Afterward, he shook his head and smiled."Zach, I want to say thank you once more," Vanessa said from behind.Zach turned and stared at her, "C'mon, Mom, I thought we agreed that there should be no more 'Thank you's' between us.""I know," Vanessa said. "But I just can't stop thinking about the fact that if you hadn't done wh
After Vanessa slept a little and had her lunch, she went into the bathroom to take her bath. During this time, Paige took out her phone and called her father."I was just about to call you, Princess," Melvin said when he answered the call."Really? Wow! It means our thoughts are in sync," Paige told him.He chuckled, "Well, you sound really excited.""You know me, Dad, I'm always a happy child," Paige replied."Well, I guess you do have a point. Something strange happened yesterday. Do you know Miss. Lillian made dinner for me? Strange, right? I mean, she bought so much and made different dishes. It got me thinking; she has never done anything of that nature before, and I've never seen her cook. Plus, you told me to avoid eating or drinking anything from her, and suddenly she was making food for me. I don't believe in such coincidences, Paige. So tell me, is there something I need to know?"Paige said, "You know what, Dad, we can talk about Miss. Lillian later. For now, I have someth
Melvin stood transfixed as he felt that what he was seeing was borne from his own imagination. He wiped his eyes, closed them, and opened them again, but she was still standing in front of him.He closed his eyes and shook his head, "No, this must be a dream."Meanwhile, Paige, who was sitting on the chair, was smiling, and Zach had moved toward the dining to give them the opportunity to express themselves freely. However, he still observed them because he wanted to catch a glimpse of their reunion."Vani?" Melvin gasped when he opened his eyes and saw that she was still right in front of him.Vanessa moved towards him and threw herself in his arms as she broke down in tears."Oh my God, Vanessa!" He exclaimed.He turned and stared at Paige, who had become teary-eyed, as he asked, "Paige, is this real?"Paige nodded, "Yes, Dad, Mom is back."Melvin pulled Vanessa away from his body and held her face. Tears fell from his eyes as he asked, "Is this really you? Vanessa! My Vani, you came
Lina angrily got up from the ground, and went into her room. She came out with her luggage, and without saying a word to either Melvin or Vanessa, she left the house. She got into the car she had driven back in and drove away while crying."Don't you think you were too harsh on her?" Vanessa asked Melvin. "She seemed to have a lot of grievances against you, and I don't think she knows who I am."Melvin sat down and shook his head, "It doesn't matter. As I said, I can tolerate a lot but being disrespectful to you? Even though she doesn't know who you are, I still will not accept that. I won't tolerate it.No one would treat you that way, not when I'm still alive. She thinks it's that easy? Let her go out there and try to survive on her own.""But, is your relationship with her so bad?" Vanessa asked.Melvin shook his head, "Well after I regained my memory and learned you lost the pregnancy when I had that accident, I just wanted someone to remind me of our daughter. So, I adopted Lin
