Chase saw Mrs Black glared at him in fury and resentment. He expected it to be so. He didn't mean to disrespect her this way by getting married to her daughter without her consent. But the decision came so quickly and abruptly. He took advantage of her rejection by her family to tell the world that he loves her and intends to spend the rest of his life with her. Mrs Pricillia hates him very much now and he knows it. But he's her son in-law now. He would make things right between them and get the daughter and mother reconciled together. He owns the Black that debt. He swallowed hard and avoided Mrs Pricillia's gaze. His hand holding firmly to his wife, giving her that reassurance that he's there, by her side. Rosalinda closed her eyes and her tears dropped. Chase noticed that she's sobbing, turned and glanced at her briefly before turning to Mrs Black. "Please Mrs Black, I know you have a lot to say to my wife right now. But can you save it for another day? Th
"I will ensure I make it snappy and join you," Arianna explained further. She saw that Jace's quietness was unusual. She tucked him and he said okay. The chauffeur drove her to the hotel and made a U-turn before driving out of the premises. Arianna didn't remember to ask Jace if he was going off to his parents place or having lunch all by himself. Anyways, she would call him when she's through with the fellow surnamed Rumero. She walked gracefully into the hotel and as soon as she stepped in, she immediately saw a hand raised from a distance. She glanced in that direction, and seated behind the table was Ethan Rumero smiling and beckoning to her to come over. As Arianna made her way towards Ethan,the latter was assessing her in his heart. Her steps were graceful, her looks were attractive and she looked elegant and classical. She wasn't like this back then. She doesn't look half as glamorous as she now appears. Her dressing wasn't expensive and classical like
Arianna was tapping her chest gently to calm herself. She couldn't bring herself to stop laughing. This is too much for her to bottle up. Ethan was confused. He really doesn't know what has come over Arianna. To keep the wine of liveliness going, he joined Arianna and started laughing too. Huh! Arianna suddenly paused and saw Ethan laughing, it's a fake laugh, she glared at him and looked completely lost, cleaning the cloudiness of tears in her eyes. Then Ethan stopped laughing. He glared at Arianna and the latter said "when did you venture into comedy? I didn't know you've found yourself a new career. But anyways, it's understandable. We haven't been in touch for years. I'm impressed with your jokes and this singular joke has made me assess your ability on the scale of 'A's. You will definitely excel in this new career…" Arianna mocked. Ethan swallowed hard. What is Arianna saying? His words were actually what amused her this much? She thinks he is joking? C
She had been unexceptionally quiet all the way from the registry. After her encounter with her family, her excitement went down and she had only been forcing herself to appear happy. But Chase wouldn't forfeit the pleasure of his wedding night simply because the bride wasn't looking cheerful. He has to take his conjugal right. Rosalinda was not giving him the expected cooperation. She wasn't in the slightest mood or interested to consummate her wedding. If Chase can just spare her that night. Before the next day, she would have been able to put her emotions together and willingly give herself to him. And she cannot tell Chase about it. And the latter refused to interpret the attitude she was giving him. Chase just doesn't want to understand at all. "What's happening Rosa? Don't you want me to make love to you?" Chase asked, feeling annoyed already. He had to undress her and despite that, she was stiffening her body. He suspected that she doesn't want to cons
"... I'm sorry . I know I have been stupid in the past. I trespassed. I bruised your ego and I said demeaning words to you, but I sincerely apologise to you and I seek nothing but your forgiveness. Even if you don't want to forgive me, for your daughter's sake, forgive me. Rosalinda is broken and unhappy. For the rest of yesterday, she's sobbing secretly. Do you want your daughter to be unhappy? No mother or brother ever wishes so for their daughter and sister. I humbly request you to forgive me for her sake. Rosalinda loves me a lot. She hadn't stop loving me for once. I fell in love with her after she miscarried my baby. I swear that I regretted my actions. I tried to apologise, but you both didn't give me a chance. I am a different person now. I love your daughter more than anything else in this world. Please give us your blessings, dear mother inlaw…" Chase pleaded. Pricillia Black was speechless. She doesn't know if she's to be angry or just walk away. Bu
Her heartbeat almost skipped. She stood gazing at the two people she least expected to come and see her. Is she dreaming or hallucinating? She blinked her eyes and opened them again, but they remained at the same spot, smiling broadly at her. She turned and glanced at Chase,the latter shrugged. Chase went to see them, is that why she didn't wake up to find him next to her? She swallowed hard and wanted to say something but her words choked in her throat. Chase has impressed her over and over with his ability to reconcile people together. "Congratulations baby" Pricillia Black was the first to make an utterance. She opened her arms and walked towards Rosalinda. The latter mumbled "mummy" and her eyes went cloudy with tears. She got into her mom's arms and hugged her. Her tears gave way and for some seconds, they both couldn't say anything but remained in each other's arms. "Mummy,I missed you," Rosalinda confessed. She sniffled and swallowed hard. Her mom's t
Jace couldn't curtail the excitement surging in him. Arianna is pregnant again, it only means he's eventually going to be a father again. "Thank you" Jace chimed. He smiled broadly. Richard smiled too. He can't wait for the day when he will also receive such good news as an expectant father. "Watch her diet Jace, if you can. Especially the intake of alcohol is not good for the baby" Richard advised. "Yeah, sure" Jace nodded. He glanced at the direction where the ladies went and felt like going after her and hugging her affectionately. She's carrying his child, Eli will have his request granted in a couple of months. They had hardly finished the party when Jace had Arianna come upstairs. There's a kind of excitement in him that she hasn't seen before. He almost was going to spoon-feed her. This deep expression of love, she doesn't know what she'd done to deserve it. Anyways she accompanied him. "You'll have to do a test. I bought five different brands
The matron nodded and smiled. The only kid in the orphanage that goes by the name Bella was the one adopted a few months ago. "Can we get the information about your daughter and the legal documentation you signed? Amanda smiled and brought out all the necessary documents and placed them before the matron. After glancing over it and comparing it with the copies in the orphanage. She realised that it's her daughter indeed that has been given off in adoption. "We waited for you for many years. Other parents returned to get their kids and many were adopted except Bella…"the matron trailed off. They couldn't reach her. She changed her address and her contacts were forever switched off. Since there was no information about her, they couldn't inform her that her daughter had been adopted. "I'm sorry about that ma'am. Life was unfair to me so I decided to go away for a few years. But I'm back now. I have a job and I've returned to fetch my daughter" Amanda Smith
