There was a soft knock on the door, but no one seemed to hear the knock. Slowly, the door creaked open, and Liam entered Lucy's apartment. Lucy wasn't expecting him, and was startled by his presence.

Liam was shocked to see Lucy wrapped in Stanley's arms, their lips locked in a passionate embrace but he was calm with it.Lucy jerked away from Stanley, her body shaking like a leaf. But Liam's demeanor was calm. He seemed unfazed by the scene before him.Stanley, on the other hand, was trembling. When Liam offered him a handshake, he could only lower his head in shame and fear. "There's no need for you two to be afraid," Liam said, a smile on his face."Lucy, this man likes you," he continued, pointing at Stanley. Stanley looked at Liam in surprise, his eyes wide with shock. "I saw the way he prayed for you and looked at you when you were in the hospital," Liam explained.Lucy and Stanley were both speechless,

On Elizabeth's fifth birthday, Asher, her adoptive mother, took her out to buy some gifts. Lucy made sure she spoke to Elizabeth almost every week and also got to see her once in a while. But even though Lucy was her biological mother, Elizabeth saw Asher as her real mother. Lucy wasn't bothered by this, she was happy that Elizabeth had a loving home with Asher.

"We are sorry Mr. Liam, you won't be able to donate blood for your daughter as your blood type is not also compatible with hers. The hospital will get her a donor." The doctor's words kept ringing in Liam's head. It was so devastating for Liam when the doctor told him that his blood was incompatible with his daughter's, and he couldn't donate blood for her. He was unable to relax or talk to Asher about what was going on. He kept wondering why neither his blood nor that of Lucy's own is not compatible with Elizabeth's own despite being her parents. He had asked the doctor if the incompatibility means they are not her parents but the doctor advised him to go for a DNA test as the incompatibility may not mean that he was not her father.When he couldn't get the words off his head he went back to the doctor and demanded that the DNA test be done on his daughter. He pleaded with the doctor to keep the test a secret from both Asher and Lucy. The doctor agreed and called the laboratory sci

"The doctor will like to see you Mr. Liam" A nurse said to Liam who was sitting in the hospital waiting room, lost in thought. Lucy, Asher, and Stanley were all sitting nearby, and Lucy started to rise from her seat, ready to follow Liam to the doctor's office. But Liam knowing it would be about the DNA results held up his hand, telling her not to follow him.No matter how much Lucy and Asher questioned Liam about his sudden change in demeanor, he remained silent. Lucy even apologized to Asher for her earlier behavior thinking that was the reason behind Liam's coldness but Liam still remained withdrawn and distant. "Welcome Mr Liam". The doctor greeted him with a warm smile. But Liam was too preoccupied with his own thoughts to return the greeting. He sat down in the chair across from the doctor, his leg bouncing up and down nervously. All he could think about was the test results. "What's the result, doctor?" He asked, getting impatient, his voice was shaking, his hands were trembl

"Stanley, I can't believe you are not saying anything over this matter" Lucy exclaimed, her frustration mounting. "Aren't you supposed to be on my side?I'm your wife, at least you should have help and find solutions to what is on ground. She shifted the child in her arms, looking into Stanley's face for response but he remained silent, his face impassive."You've been acting strange ever since Liam accused me of cheating on him. Is it that you don't trust me or what?" she asked, a mixture of sadness and hurt in her voice. "I thought you knew me better than Liam now. Why don't you want to speak up and defend me? If anyone doesn't trust me, at least you should?"Ever since they left Liam's place, Stanley had been acting cold and distant. He wouldn't talk to her about what was bothering him, and he wouldn't even look her in the eye. Lucy had no idea what was going on, and the silence was killing her. She had been the only one going to the hospital to take care of Elizabeth as she is stil

"But you said you and Stanley were never dating while we were together, how come you want him to do the DNA test to detect Elizabeth's Father". Liam asked angrily as Lucy and Stanley met him in the receptionAfter much Lamentations from Asher, he decided to go to the hospital to check Elizabeth's well -being. He had wanted to go to the doctor's office when he overheard the doctor's conversation with Stanley and Lucy requesting that Stanley's blood sample should be taken to determine Elizabeth's father. "I… I..". Lucy stammered, not knowing what to say. She wasn't expecting Liam in the hospital as she thought he had abandoned Elizabeth since he discovered he wasn't her father. "You were cheating on me then and you claimed to be honest". Liam said again, his eyes red from anger. "It was all my fault," Stanley interjected. "I took advantage of Lucy when she was drunk. I had helped her home from a friend's party, and I did something terrible." He looked directly at Liam, his face full

"I think it will be nice if we invite Asher and Liam to meet us at the hospital". Stanley said as he turned the hand of the steering wheel out of his compound, driving towards the direction of the hospital."Why". Lucy asked, wondering why he would want Liam to be present despite showing that he doesn't seem interested in Elizabeth again. "If I turn out to be Elizabeth's father, I want him to hear it directly from the doctor and also If it turns out that I am not Elizabeth's father, I am sure he will be interested to help us find who Elizabeth's father is". He said, as he glued his eyes on the road."So you trust me now?" Lucy asked, a hint of hope in her voice.Stanley nodded, a smile playing on his lips. "I do, my love." Lucy smiled in response.She reached for her phone and dialed Liam's number, she was surprised when Liam picked up on the first ring.

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.

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.

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
