"Baby please" Lucy pleaded with Stanley who turned his back at her, grumbling.Liam had been pleading with Stanley to let him adopt Elizabeth but Stanley had been refusing. Liam couldn't stop begging him as Asher kept lamenting to his ears. Stanley's reason for not letting them adopt Elizabeth was that she had never seen him as her father. Now that he knew he was her biological father, he wanted her to get to know him as such. But Asher found it difficult to imagine a life without Elizabeth. And for Elizabeth, the thought of leaving the people she knew as her parents was too much for the little girl to take in."There is no sense in what you are saying". Stanley said angrily to Lucy. "If I had known this child was mine, would I have allowed Liam to take her in the first place? So you want me to give her to Liam because Liam has no child of his own right". He said, his voice rising in frustration"Try to understand, this child already sees Liam and Asher as her parents, bringing her h

Lucy had fought Stanley bitterly concerning the issue of taking Elizabeth custody but Stanley was bent on having his daughter back no matter what Lucy had said to him. Lucy informed his family on the matter and despite all meetings held on him, he refused to agree. They had made Elizabeth understand the situation that was ongoing. The little girl already knew the details of her pregnancy and the circumstances that had led to her being placed in Liam and Asher's care after everything that happened.Despite the love she has for Stanley and his family, she has made it clear that she wishes to stay with Liam and Lucy but Stanley refuses to respect the child's decision.

"Mrs. Lucy," the judge said, his voice stern and impatient. "We don't have all day. If you don't have anything to say, then we'll have to move on." He said after Lucy had chosen to stand there, silent and crying. The courtroom was filled with a tense silence, as everyone anxiously waited for what she had to say. Stanley and Liam steal glances at each other several times with worry and anxiousness written on their faces. "I'm sorry, Stanley. I'm sorry, Liam" Lucy began, her voice cracking. "It's too difficult for me to say this, but at this point, I just have to say it". She said again, looked at Elizabeth and said, "My darling, I'm so sorry for what I did". "What did you do?". Stanley shouted, her voice shaking as he became impatient but the court clerk called him to order and he composed himself. "Stanley, you are not the father of Elizabeth". Lucy said, her voice cracking. The courtroom erupted into chaos as soon as Lucy spoke those words. Stanley staggered due to the shock, he

"We have the new DNA test results here". The judge said, his voice stern. The courtroom was silent as everybody awaited the next action.Lucy and Stanley were standing in the same dock. Since the last court visit, Stanley had been avoiding Lucy and refused to speak to her even though they stayed in the same house. Despite interventions and pleading from family and friends, Stanley still remains distant. Lucy had taken their children to stay with her mother, so they would not have to be around to witness the tension between their parents.Liam was also standing in the other dock opposite Stanley and Lucy. He has looked lean, and one would tell that he has been depressed in the past few weeks as the toll was evident in his eyes. Asher and Elizabeth are seated in the audience with their faces sad and unhappy. The doctor who had performed the previous DNA test was also present in the dock, his head hung in shame. He had been accused of going against medical ethics, and he was there to

"Where do you think you are going". Stanley said to Lucy as she was about to follow him inside the house. His tone was sharp and filled with irritation. They had just returned from the court, even though they entered one car, it was a silent ride, no one spoke to each other. "Baby please, I am sorry about what happened, I didn't mean to hurt you". She said, her eyes brimming with tears. Stanley ignored her and was about to step inside when Lucy quickly grasped his angles and dropped down to her knees."Please, forgive me". She sobbed but her plea was ignored by the stone - faced Stanley."You made me look evil in court". Stanley seethed, his face twisting in disgust. "Lucy, I will urge you to leave, you won't like what I would do if you stay, you evil woman". Stanley said but his threat seemed to fall on deaf ears as Lucy rose with a strong face and determination to enter the house."You are the evil dripping with hatred and jealousy" She bellowed, her face filled with rage. "If no

"Hello". An unknown voice said over the phone to Stanley"Who is this please". Stanley replied, his voice deep and laced with a weary of annoyance. The call had jolted him from the thought of the disintegration of his marriage."I got this number from an accident victim emergency contact". The unknown voice said. "An accident". Stanley repeated, his mind racing from shock and confusion. "From the identification card found in her car, we have confirmed that the victim's name is Lucy Williams." He said. The information was like a blow to Stanley's disrupted mind. "What did you say happened to her". His voice trembled, sweat dotting his palms from fear and anxiety. "She's involved in a ghastly motor accident and she is brought here by a good Samaritan to our hospital. She's currently receiving treatment". The unknown caller said."Please who are you to her". He asked again when he couldn't hear Stanley's voice again. "I'm her husband". Stanley replied, his voice shaking with fear.

ELIZABETH'S POVI became frustrated that I chucked my phone onto the bed. I had been fruitlessly trying to get in touch with Aunty Lucy, but all my attempts seem to be in vain. Her calls were not answered and I wondered why. Even though I knew she had done something that cut the rope of friendship, I still couldn't bring myself to judge her based on that. After all, she's still my biological mother, and that's a fact I can't deny. In a fit of exasperation, I flung my body onto the bed, burying my face into the covers, trying to force myself to sleep so I could stop worrying about Aunty.My father had become adamant about severing ties with Aunty Lucy after her past missteps, but I couldn’t help but see a scared young woman in her. Fear could make people do horrible things, and even though her actions had been inexcusable.Just as I was about to finally drift off into sleep, my phone rang out, jolting me back awake. I scrambled to answer it, hoping that it might be Aunty Lucy on the l

If not for Stanley's earnest pleas on Liam's behalf, Asher might never have answered Liam's desperate calls. But when she learned of Elizabeth's dire condition, all previous animosity dissipated into thin air.Almost breathless with panic, Asher demanded the hospital's address, leaving Liam little to no time to beg for her presence. Her maternal instincts kicked into overdrive, and she was already making a beeline for the hospital before Liam could even thank her."Baby please, eat at least two spoons." Liam said as he tried to coax Elizabeth into taking a bite of the food, her lips stayed sealed in stubborn defiance. Even as he gently spoon fed her, she turned her head away, refusing to eat."I've called your mother and she will soon be here." He said, his tone soft but firm. Elizabeth's silence spoke volumes, conveying her hurt and her obstinacy in the face of Liam's efforts.The spoon hit the tray with a clatter, signaling Liam's frustration and resignation. At that moment, he felt

"Elizabeth" Liam screamed, his voice quivering with shock as he entered his house and only to beheld his daughter, motionless on the ground. He rushed to her, shook her motionless body in a desperate attempt to awaken her but she was just still.Elizabeth had been starving herself, in the aftermath of Asher's departure.She ignored her meals, and couldn't stop crying every day. Her eyes had remained puffy and red from the endless hours of weeping each day. Liam's plea for her to eat only fell on deaf ears, as she would still refuse all food, even her favorite food because of her mother being absent. In a flurry of panic, he scooped her up and rushed to his car, speeding to the hospital, ignoring the jeers of the onlookers, his entire being was focused on one thing, getting his darling daughter to the doctors before it was too late. As Liam sprinted into the hospital with Elizabeth's limp body slung over his shoulder, his panic trumped all protocol. Emergency room nurses, instantly d

In the opulent setting of Stanley's luxurious residence, Liam relaxed on an exquisite couch, his eyes fixated on the pristine glass of wine on the table as he patiently waited for Stanley to return from the washroom.Stanley had called him, inviting him to a small party at his house which he said they would be having with one of his friends. With eager anticipation, Liam anticipated the arrival of their guest."My apologies, Liam, for keeping you waiting." Stanley said with a smile as he walked back to the sitting room, taking his seat next to Liam."No problem, I'm enjoying the ambiance." Liam replied, smiling back."Our guest should be here any moment." Stanley said, as he picked up the remote and turned up the volume on the TV, allowing the actors' dialogues to fill the room."Who is this your friend and why the party,what is the party for? I don't understand." Liam asked."Don't worry friend, it's meant to be a surprise. You will know her when she comes." "Her." Liam asked, confu

The room practically crackled with tension as Liam and Asher exchanged heated words. Liam's face was flushed with fury, as he raged at Asher for hiding her past as a lesbian while in school. He stood like an immovable mountain, resistant to her pleas for understanding. But Asher, after exhausting her efforts to plead with Liam, had reached her breaking point. She stood her ground, matching Liam's ferocity word for word. "This happened before you met me". She said, her voice raised in anger."Have you ever caught me in such an act since we got married." Liam's words were bullets, piercing Asher's soul with every sentence. "You kept this your dirty secret from me, your husband." he seethed, his eyes blazing with hurt and anger. "The woman was even blackmailing you, demanding money in exchange for her silence, and you've been paying her off all this time without me knowing?" His words shook with rage, his hands clenched into fists at his sides."Liam, I know I should have told you abo

"I'm only asking for a small sum of money, and here you are, making such a scene." Pearl said, her voice raised. Her anger ranged as she confronted Asher in her own home, using the compromising photos as leverage."Do you think I came here to joke or play with you? I came to reveal your dirty secret to your husband, but God seems to be on your side today. However, I won't leave without what I came for. Hand over that money, or your secret will no longer be safe with me.""Pearl, to you, a hundred million dollars is a small amount of money? Pearl, are you in your right senses" Asher said, her face hardened with frustration."You are spitting nonsense Asher". Pearl said, her face stern. "If you are not succumbing to my demands, consider your husband being aware of your bad past". She said again, her voice cutting through the air like a whip.The air seemed to thicken with the weight of Pearl's rage as Asher crumbled under the pressure, slumping down onto the nearest chair in defeat.

Asher's POVMy hands were immersed in a sudsy mountain of laundry when my phone's beep rang out, signaling a new message. I glanced at my phone's screen and saw that the message that came in was from Pearl and it read "I need to discuss something very important with you, and I would like you to come to my house to discuss it."My mind whirred with possibilities as to what she could be talking about, nothing coming to mind that couldn't be discussed via text or call. Anxiously, I dialed her number to find out if it could be discussed over the phone. The call went unanswered at first, but my persistence paid off when Pearl finally picked up. There was no friendly greeting or small talk, only her urgent message, "I'll send you my home address. It's very serious please." She ended the call after that before I could even utter a word.My mind raced with questions as I rushed to finish my laundry, speeding through the last stages of my cleaning routine. As I started to dress, a text from P

Liam's heart rate spiked as he walked into the sitting room, stunned to find the very woman whose identity he had been clamoring for, chatting with Asher in their house. His jaw dropped as if the world had suddenly tilted on its axis.Standing up with a warm smile, Pearl greeted him, but Liam's response was chilly at best, sending an icy chill through the room. Asher, caught in the crossfire, found himself quickly whisked away upstairs by a visibly agitated Liam, leaving Pearl alone to contemplate the reasons behind Liam's coldness."What is she doing here, and remember you haven't told me who she is?" Liam said, his face stern."Baby, like I told you earlier, Pearl is my old friend. I had wanted to tell you what had transpired between us, but you've been so busy lately." Her words hung in the air as Liam absorbed their meaning, his expression a mix of confusion and suspicion."We had a terrible fight before graduation, which was why I reacted so poorly when I saw her." She lied, her

Asher's POVAs I reclined in the comfort of my room, my daughter, Elizabeth, hurriedly entered with a look of bewilderment etched on her face. "Mom". She said "There is someone at the door asking for you," she said her voice laced with perplexity. "It's a woman, and she looks like that strange aunty we met at Uncle Stanley's birthday party. I think it's that aunty Pearl". Her eyes, wide with surprise, revealed the flutter of curiosity that stirred within her.On hearing Pearl's name, panic gripped my soul, and I sprung from the bed with haste. A silent prayer ascended from my heart, a plea that it wasn't her after all. And as I dashed downstairs, my heart racing in anxious fear, I was thankful that Liam wasn't around. If Pearl had indeed graced my doorstep, Liam's presence would have ignited a storm of trouble.My feet carried me swiftly to the living room, where my worst fears were confirmed. Pearl was already sitting comfortably, her very presence an unwelcome enigma. How did she di

Elizabeth's POVMy heart was racing as I approached my father. "Dad," I said, my voice shaking slightly with nerves. He turned from his TV program and smiled at me. "How are you, darling?" he asked, his voice calm and gentle.I'm scared the conversation might not turn out well, but I had to push through the discomfort. I had become desperate to ask him why he had such a negative view of female relationships. To him, it seemed that any sign of closeness between women was automatically seen as lesbianism. I need to understand why he had been so judgmental and narrow minded.My mind raced for the right words, but my mouth remained stubbornly silent. I took a deep breath, willing the words to come out. "I'm fine, dad," I replied, my voice still slightly trembling. "I want to ask you something." I managed to say.My father seemed to sense the gravity of my words and adjusted his seat to face me directly. "Of course, sweetheart," he said, his brows slightly furrowed in concern. "What is it
