Arianna's facial expression changed. How can Richard behave this way to Genesis? He thinks she pushed Tessa down the stairs? Even if she does, that doesn't mean he shouldn't show concern for the woman he called his girlfriend? This is too much. Genesis reached out her hand and took Arianna's "I feel I am losing Richard to another woman. The feeling plunged me down to despair. I feel lost, Arianna" she stuttered. Arianna couldn't say anything. She held Genesis' hand and gave it a reassuring massage. Everything is going to be alright. When they drove into the hospital premises, Richard was out, helping Tessa towards his car. He sighted Arianna's car and let Tessa stay in the car while he walked towards them. Arianna stepped out of the car and Genesis did. Richard glanced at Genesis temple and seemed to examine it from a distance. "How do you feel now, Genesis?" Richard asked, a part of him condemning his nonchalant attitude towards his girlfriend.
Richard nodded and went upstairs. He needs a warm bath to help him chill off. He would go and see Genesis later and talk over it. The doctor examined Genesis and as well went through her x-ray report. He told her that a few of her tissues were bruised. It needs to be dressed and she would be placed on strong antibiotics to help close up the bruises. "I hope it will not leave a scar behind?" Genesis asked. She can't afford to have a scar on her face. Nothing should reduce her beauty. "It will go away when the bruises have healed," the doctor assured her. Having been through, Genesis went to the office and took a week off. She needs to ensure her injuries get healed. Arianna then went to the company. She arrived and many of her colleagues came over to congratulate her. Many called her a smart and intelligent woman. She appreciated them and settled down to work. Chase Hudson came over and congratulated Arianna with a hug. He circled his hand around her waist and said "you're one of t
Ryan's legs wobbled. He looked around him and at himself again before saying "pardon sir," he felt he was having a migraine. "The scumbag, who almost ruined the reputation of the Hudson's holding, sabotaged the company's design draft, made by Miss Jason. What punishment do you think he or she should be given?" CEO Jace explained in detail. Ryan's temple went blank. How was he supposed to say it, what if the CEO wants him to pronounce his own punishment and then work along with it. His temple suddenly showed beads of sweat. His palm became sweaty and he stammered "I..I.. think we.. could just give her..l mean hi..m a warning, sir" Arianna just bowed her head, trying hard to suppress her laughter. Warn him? Is that all, she could have lost her professional training and be banned from using her certification. The Hudson's holding would have lost their reputation as well if she hadn't stood up to it's defence. Now he talks about just warning the person? No, de
Chase Hudson sighed softly. What nonsense. It's her fault and now, she's not talking again. What exactly does she want with him in the first place to have allowed herself to be pregnant? "What do you mean non? You wanted to be pregnant with my child and now you have it. Your mother came to harass me and now, you are telling me you don't want anything?" Chase demanded. "Yes, I don't want anything from you, Chase Hudson. I don't want anything I said, because you don't have anything to offer besides your dick" Rosalinda glared at him in hostility. How could she have fallen in love with such a man? What is wrong with her, where was she looking when she did? And to that very minute, she still loves him. "And you took it in well, right? You cherish every single moment I gave it to you hard and pleasure filled" Chase teased. Rosalinda glared at him in hostility. Such a vain person. "Yes I took it in and it ended there. You and I have nothing in common. It's better
The doctor glanced from Chase Hudson to Pricillia Black and back again and sighed. These two seemed to be at enmity with each other. "The mother is free from harm's way but we couldn't save the baby. We lost him" the doctor said and Chase Hudson tears ran down his cheeks. "Can I see her now?" Pricillia Black asked, ignoring Chase Hudson's shocked expression. "No, you'll have to wait a little longer" The doctor declared and walked away. Chase Hudson walked backwards until he sank into a seat. His tears ran down his cheeks. He was still and for a while, he didn't move a finger. "My baby, my little baby.." Chase mumbled and sniffled. His eyes had gone reddened and he was sobbing now. "My child…I'm sorry" Chase kept sobbing. For a while Pricillia Black momentarily forgot herself and glared at Chase Hudson. He is sobbing over a baby he claimed he is not interested in? He said horrible words to her and invariably to her daughter because of the baby in
Arianna paused in her steps and turned back to glare at Jace helplessly. She knows that he's got a feud with Chase but in times like this, they need each other. "I am not going to a place that you are not aware of. We are talking about Chase here, your only brother. Maybe I shouldn't have told you I was going out. I should have just disappeared from the office and returned later. You are trying to stop me from going over to see him. Why are you doing this?" Arianna queried, staring at Jace. The latter's eyes went cold, staring at her. He didn't say anything. He needs to talk some senses into Arianna when they get back home. She is giving him too many reasons why he wouldn't be letting her leave home henceforth. Maybe it's better she does other things and not works in the same company with him. "Don't let my relationship with you affect official matters. If you really want to go and see him, why don't you use your lunch time to do so?" Jace demanded.
Chase Hudson looked away. He was also grieving. How can Rosa accuse him of killing his own child? "Common Rosa dear, you are grieving and Chase is also grieving. Don't blame him for the loss of your child. You both just lost your baby" Amelia coaxed her but Rosalinda immediately shook her head in disapproval. "No Aunt, he is not grieving at all. He is only putting up an act. He is happy that I lost the baby so that he can be free to be with whoever he chooses. From the day I told Chase that I was pregnant, his hatred surged towards me. He said he is not the father of my baby, he was not interested in having a child with me, he said he doesn't love me and all of sort. But I could let that go. But he went further to call me a slut!" Rosalinda was furious. Her tears ran down her cheeks and she was sobbing, glaring at Chase with hostility. "I'm sorry, Rosalinda. I'm sorry" Chase apologised. He glanced at her and saw her reddened eyes. He looked away. He cannot lo
Richard was dazed. Why is Genesis playing so hard to please? He doesn't like it when she doesn't want to understand his present predicament. He was upset and drove off to a bar. He wanted to take her out for dinner. He wanted to make it up to her, but rather, she got it all tangled together the more. He drank bottle upon bottle of alcohol and he felt tipsy. It's time he gets back home before he becomes too dizzy to drive. But he received a call from Tessa. Seeing she's the one calling, he answered the phone "My head is spurning Richard, I don't know how I'm feeling right now" "Are you at home?" Richard asked and Tessa said yes. Richard said okay. He is going home. He would come around to check her when he sobered up. He would have one of his dad's chauffeurs come over to pick her up. He would join her at the hospital when he gets a little stable. Richard slid behind the steering wheel and called his dad chauffeur "Go to Tessa's house, take her to the hos
When the couple alighted, Chase held Rosalinda's hand, intertwining his fingers ders with hers. They drew closer, and a few securities walked over to their boss. When Chase walked over he turned and glared at the securities in hostility "the next time you opened that gate to some unwanted guests, your job in this house is ended!" He thundered. "We are not unwanted guests Mr Hudson. We are law enforcement agencies with a search warrant…" One of the police officers was saying when Chase snapped at him. "If you have a search warrant, do you also have a gate pass?" He asked, his usual arrogant personality taking over the calmness he portrayed at the orphanage. For a few seconds, none could say a word until the man next to Amanda Smith introduced himself "I am Barr. Clifford,Miss Amanda Smith's lawyer" he said, dissipating the awkwardness in the air. "We have a search warrant from the head office to search your mansion for Miss Bella Smith, a girl you adopted fr
How dare he say she needs the advice the most when he was the one who hurt her and rejected the baby? How can he refer to himself as Bella's father after ordering her to have an abortion back then. If she had gone ahead, she would have flushed Bella away. Now, he brought his face before her and said he is Bella's father? She's not afraid of him anymore. What she wants is her daughter and nothing else. "Amanda, I know that you are hurt. I also know that I made you hurt. But please, I'm begging you let's talk about our daughter please" Chase pleaded. "Yes, Miss Amanda. Just give him a chance and talk to him. This mother is pleading with you as a mother, listen to Chase" Rosalinda coaxed. "I don't have anything to talk to him about. You wanted me to have an abortion back then. You paid for it and told me not to come before you again. And I didn't, I never came to find you ever again. And today you call yourself my daughter's father? How is that possible?
The both of them stared at each other in shock. Chase remembered the dream. Everything played fresh in his memory and he was afraid of the rest of the dream becoming a reality. Amanda Smith glared at him. She was thinking about him without knowing he was standing next to her. What is going on here? She remembered the past. How she was involved with Chase and became pregnant. How he urged and persuaded her for an abortion. He transferred a large sum of money into her account and told her not to come before him again or return someday with some damn baby to blackmail him. He is a Hudson. A billionaire and has power. But she's a nobody. She had to hide away and carried her baby in her belly and gave birth to her without his knowledge. She doesn't have the ability or the name to fight him. Now, after a few years she met with him again. But she hopes he's not the man who adopted her daughter? From the words of the matron, she hopes her daughter hasn't found h
Chase kept his gaze on her confused facial expression. He chuckled softly and said "No. She's my daughter by adoption. And now, the orphanage wants to see me along with her" Rosalinda shook her head in disapproval. She'd always thought she's his daughter for real, that is, by blood connection. And she didn't bother asking him about the girl's Mom. And the resemblance, how come about it then? She takes after Chase 50% in appearance. Her eyes looked a lot like Eli and his dad. "But Bella looks like you and your family…" Rosalinda interjected. This is unbelievable. If Chase hadn't told her himself, she wouldn't have believed it if someone else told her. "It's a coincidence. We're not related by blood" Chase replied, smiling. Somehow the girl looks like the Hudson's. That's one other reason he insisted he would adopt her. She would fit perfectly into the family. "Are you sure none of your ex…"Rosalinda trailed off. It's enough. If Chase said she's his daughter by
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
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
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
"... 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
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
