Martha's gaze fell away, her eyes clouding over with a mixture of sadness and despair. "I am dying already," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "Why should I care about anybody's life?"The doctor felt a lump form in his throat as he looked at Martha, her once beautiful face now gaunt and pale. He saw the pain and suffering etched on her face, and his heart went out to her."Martha, don't say that," he said, his voice cracking with emotion. "You still have so much to live for, you can still change everything."Martha's gaze snapped back to his, her eyes flashing with anger. "What do I have to live for?" she spat. "My husband is dead, I killed him with my own hands, i killed grandfather Edward who accepted me into his home with a warm heart, Kian isn’t my real son, I can not bear a child. I have nothing left except for the money in the hidden room, and now I am dying how would I spend such a huge money."The doctor felt a tear roll down his cheek as he looked at Martha, her eyes
As the doctor slowly opened the door, hoping it shouldn’t be Mira but his wishes finally came through. It was Kian, his gaze on his mother as he entered the room.“Oh kian...” Martha said her voice as she looked behind Kian hoping to see Mira but she didnt see her.“Where you expecting someone?” Kian asked his voice deep and husky.Martha shooked her head" Oh never mind, I wasnt just expecting you to be here right now” Martha said .Just as the doctor thought he was trapped, Kian's sudden intervention caught him off guard. Kian's gaze locked onto the doctor, his voice firm and commanding. "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor. I will have one of my boys drive you home."The doctor's eyes widened in surprise as Kian's words hung in the air. He felt a surge of hope, wondering if he might escape Martha's clutches after all.Kian's gaze shifted back to Martha, his eyes narrowing slightly. "You are good now?" he asked, his tone firm but controlled.Martha nodded, her eyes flashing with an
VIVIAN POVWith a wide smile, Annie walked in and ran towards Kian, but Kian wasnt able to remember her face anymore until she starts to describe herself.Kian's eyes lit up as he gazed at Annie, a warm smile spreading across his face. "Where did you disappear to?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine concern.Annie's eyes welled up with tears as she began to explain her story. "I was chased away by Ma’am Martha," she said, her voice shaking. "She didn't want me around anymore, said I was a reminder of someone she doesn’t like."Kian's expression darkened, his jaw clenched in anger. "Go on," he encouraged, his voice soft.Annie took a deep breath before continuing. "I had nowhere to go, no one to turn to. But then I heard that Miss Vivian were looking to recruit new maids, so I joined them. I wanted to be close to you again, that was why I entered the mansion, I knew Ma’am Martha wouldn’t be able to recognize my face anymore."Kian's smile returned, wider than before. "I'm glad you
I smirked and glared at Kian“What about Mira?” I asked my voice firmIt took minutes for him to reply, he walked back to me and stared at me, and without a word he went back to his sit without giving me a response.“Louis... Help them home, she wants to go back home” he said his voice deep and husky.Louis nodded “yes boss” she said and gestured for me to stand up, but instead I rolled my eye.“I am not going home, not tonight” I said and gave Kian a warm smile.Kian smiled back without looking at me, his eyes fixed on some distant point as if lost in thought. But I knew he understood exactly what I meant by my reply. He nodded subtly, a silent acknowledgment that he understood what I meant.With a swift motion, he gestured to his boys and Louis, a silent command that sent them into action. "Take Annie to a better room, make her comfortable" he ordered, his voice firm and deep. "And make sure to give her everything she wants."Annie's eyes lit up with excitement as she smiled and sto
VIVIAN POV“I am fine, I am just not feeling well” I said my voice barely above a whisper and suddenly Louis walked inside.“Good morning my lady, is there anything I can offer you at the moment?” She askedI thought about it and realized this is the perfect moment to ask her to help me get something I just hope she wont tell her boss about it.“Uhm.. yeah, thank you, it’s a perfect timing I need you to get me something please” I said and I slowly walked towards her.She lowered her head.“heads up please, do not act like this in front of me, I do not need all these formalities, I would appreciate if you act normal towards me” I saidShe nodded, I walked towards her and whispered to her ears “Can you get a pregnancy tester? Like.. I mean like a pregnancy test kit” I said my voice barely above a whisper but Louis wasnt listening instead she became excited“What’s with that smile” I said as I gazed at Louis.She then stopped her smile and nodded “I will be off now ma’am” as she walked
Kian kept staring at me wondering if I was alright, but I just kept quiet and didn’t say anything, only my smile enough was replying him.“Kian...” I called to him my voice barely above a whisper.”I want to go back to the mansion” I said with a gentle expression.He dropped his cup and hit his cutlery on the table, I flinched and was frightened.“Why?” he asked in an angry way“You dont have to be like this” I said my voice firm and calm, then I made my way back to the room so i could get dressed and get ready to go back.“Louis...” he said his voice cold deep."Follow her," Kian ordered, his voice firm and commanding.Louis nodded, her eyes never leaving mine as she fell into step behind me.I gazed back over my shoulder, a mischievous glint in my eye. "No, don't bother," I said with a smile. "I'm going back to the mansion, I have a few bodyguards over there. Let Louis stay here and work for you."I began to walk, expecting Louis to stay behind. But instead, I heard the soft crunch o
I gazed at the lawyer and gestured for her to meet me outside the mansion, I slowly walked out and saw the lawyer behind me.I sighed..“What was that about?” I asked my voice firm.She hesitated but then I yelled at her“What was that about? I am asking you a question”“Martha...” she stutteredI gazed at her face waiting for a response.“She threatened me” she saidI smiled “With what? What did she threaten you with?” I asked my voice firm.“She threatened to have me killed” she said her voice firm.“Are you not a lawyer? Do you want to be weak?” I yelled at herShe shaked her had in disagreement “No..”.I was about to reply when Annie rushed out and called to us, I slowly ran into the mansion and saw something on Kian’s hand.Kian pressed it and we were listening to Martha’s conversation with the lawyer, where she threatened herMartha’s eyes blurred in anger “did you have me followed?” she asked in anger.Kian nodded and smiled.“I am your mother” Martha said her eyes filled with
Kian was standing outside, feeling the pain of the betrayal and why it had to happen to him.He kept wondering who is real mother was and there was no one who could give him that answers other than Vivian. But she decided to keep quiet and not say anything to Vivian.Julian walked outside but Kian stopped him,"By now, you should have found a way to live on your own, you are a man you cant be like this forever" he spatJulian smiled "Being rich and powerful must make you think you can just give advises to people just like that" Julian said.Kian rolled his eyes, his expression showed no care and concern instead he stepped aside and signalled Julian to continue walking.Vivian walked outside with Annie. The lawyer slowly walked towards Kian, looking like she had just sucked on a lemon."uhm , Kian, I'm so sorry about what just happened," she said, her voice dripping with insincerity.Kian nodded, his expression unreadable. But Vivian, who was watching them, gave him a subtle eye signal
