"what!? What happened?" Eliana asked. Her voice was laced with worry as she spoke on the phone.

"Can I speak to her?" She asked, pacing around in the living area of Jace's apartment.

She just received a call from Zia saying that Benjamin had to bring Amelia home. She was throwing up in school and she has a fever.

Zia didn't want to worry Eliana, but she had to let her know the condition of her daughter. Amelia was taken to the hospital. After some tests, she just had the flu. So the doctor prescribed some drugs for her and Benjamin got them before he took Amelia home. She was given the medicine and now she is asleep.

Zia tried to calm her friend down, because she could hear the panic in Eliana's voice. "Calm down Eliana, she will be just fine. In fact, she was already feeling better before she slept. I promise." Zia explained.

Eliana chewed on her finger as she paced back and forth. She wishes she could just see herself in Carefree town within the twinkle of an eye.

    Eliana couldn't move for a while. A smile spread across her face from Jace's confession. For a moment, she forgot about everything and everyone. Only Jace's words kept echoing in her head.'I love you, Eliana. I love you, Eliana. I love you, Eliana.'This is it. He finally said it. Eliana felt the same way for a very long time. But to her, it felt odd to be the first to say it. He is the man, he should be the one to confess it first. And now he has and she knows Jace is waiting expectantly to her response. Jace's voice broke Eliana's chain of thoughts."You there? I am sorry. I chose a bad time to confess my feelings. But I have felt the same way for a while now and I couldn't keep it to myself any longer and -" "I love you too." Eliana said.It was Jace's turn to go quiet.

    "Mummy!" Amelia ran to her mother and engulfed her in a hug. "You are back." She exclaimed."Yes sweetie. I am back." Eliana hugged her back at the same time trying to feel her daughter's temperature. It was a relief to Eliana when she felt her daughter's temperature felt almost normal. "I am sorry I took too long before coming back." She said after releasing her daughter from the hug.They walked hand in hand back to the room Amelia stays in, whenever she was at Zia's house for a night. They sat down on the bed."It's ok mummy. I know Uncle Jace was sad." Amelia reasoned. "Is Uncle Jace not sad anymore?"Eliana talked to her daughter at least twice a day since she left for the city. She explained to her that Jace is sad because his father went up to the heavens, where Eliana's parents are now. That means Jace will not see his father again. As Eliana has explained."He is less sad now. "Eliana hoped what she said would be true.Amelia smiled, then nodded. "Ok. Good."The mother and da

    After Eliana chatted with her daughter and Zia at Zia's place, she came home with her daughter. They already had dinner at Zia's house, so Eliana only needed to freshen up when they got home. She then sat with her daughter to watch one of Amelia's favorite animations, 'Tangled'.Eliana quickly went to the kitchen to get them some snacks, when her phone rang in her jeans pocket. She pulled the phone out. A smile spread on her face seeing the id of the caller. "Hey beautiful. How was the journey? How is Amelia doing?" Jace asked."She is doing really well. I might have overreacted back there." Eliana said on the phone."You did the right thing. That is what a good mother would do. I love that and you." Jace praised. Eliana blushed at Jace's compliment. "Thank you." She said,"Can I speak with Amelia now?" Jace asked."Yes." Eliana replied before going back to the living room and handing the phone to Amelia.They talked for a while. Eliana looked at how Amelia is free with Jace. She s

    Axel couldn't get himself to speak to Eliana for a while. He felt ashamed. He never thought he could feel that way. There he was. Feeling like a fucking low life."If you don't have anything to say, then it's best you leave." Eliana pointed towards the door. She refused to sit and was still standing, since she came out of Amelia's room.While Axel sat down where he was seated earlier with Amelia on his lap.Axel started to speak. "Eliana. I know there is no excuse for my stupid action -"Eliana pulled her hands to her chest. "Damn right there is none." She spat, looking pissed.'This is not going to be easy ' Axel thought. But he has to try anyway. This is his chance and might be the only one he would ever have. So he continued. "I have to come clean and I am glad you are giving me listening ears. I will tell you my whole truth.""Don't make me regret this, Axel. And make it quick. I had a long day and I just came back to town a few hours ago. I need to rest." Eliana said as she sat

    Axel nodded at Eliana's confession before speaking. "I deserve that. I also thank you for that." He said with a small smile.Eliana nodded. She did not feel bad for having her revenge on Axel. It's just that her plan did not go as she planned, but maybe it was for the best. Maybe it was better that Eliana knows her father. Maybe this is what Eliana needs. A closure. She has been leaving for all these years hating Axel for abandoning her while pregnant. When the truth was, Axel never new he has a child with her."This might sound like a goodbye. I wish it could be a goodbye. Because it will be hard for me to face you all the time. But for Amelia's sake, I have to be in the picture sometimes."Eliana nodded in understanding, then she said, "I understand. Now that she knows who her father is, I would not like for her to lose his touch again." "I promise to always inform you before I show up. Just please answer my call when I do call." Axel said with pleading eyes.Eliana fought the urg

And that same morning, she finally went through her mails from the mailbox but there was none from the court.Jace told her they might not be needing her to testify against Axel, that is why they did not send her any."Are you sure?" Jace asked after a few seconds of silence."Yeah I think so." Eliana said, sounding still unsure."How about you think through it and then you can decide in the next hour." Jace advised."Alright." Eliana said with a sigh."When you do, I can easily make it go away, but if you don't, I can make it worse for him. I mean, whatever you want. Just name it." Jace said.Eliana smiled at his offer. "Ok. I will let you know."They ended the call a few moments later. Eliana prepared breakfast for her and Amelia. As Eliana was preparing breakfast, she recalled how Axel act

    *** A year later ***A maybach drove into Bratkowski's mansion in the evening. In the back seat of the car, Eliana and her husband sat.

She headed to the company afterwards.Walking to the front desk at the entrance, Eliana approached the receptionist."Hello." Eliana said at the receptionist. She was still nervous but tried to put on a smile. She was holding onto the lunch she packed for them from school and some things she bought on her way."Good day, how can I assist you -" the receptionist began before looking up. When she looked up, recognition flashed in her eyes. "Oh, Mrs Bratkowski, you are welcome." Eliana was a bit relieved. At least the receptionist recognised who she was. 'She must have attended our wedding.' Eliana thought to herself. That could only be the explanation, since she has never visited the office."I am here to see my husband, can you direct

    "What are you guys not telling me?" Eliana asked. After following Jace into the closet. "After all, I was trying to play matchmaker for Axel." She added, putting her hands on her waist.Jace chuckled as he put on his pajamas pants. "I didn't know that. When did you decide to do that? Playing Cupid and all." He asked."Since our wedding." Eliana said. Picking up the towel Jace earlier had on him. "I noticed how he was gawking over a lady that was sitting at a different table. I wanted to introduce myself to her but then I was distracted for a moment. Before I could get to her again, she was nowhere to be found." Eliana explained.They both walked out of the closet. Jace first and Eliana tailing behind."It turns out he worked it out all by himself." Jace said before sitting on the bed. Eliana walked back into the bathroom.

    "Wait! What!?" Eliana exclaimed. Her eyes grew wide at Axel's suggestion. She abruptly got up from her sitting position.Jace's eyes were wide as well. "You are joking, right? Don't get my hopes up and then you would say you are joking. Just tell me it's a joke." He blurted. Jace is still seated, but he was close to standing up as well because he was sitting by the edge of the chair.Axel looked between the two as they acted very surprised by his words. "No. I am not. I am sorry I caught you both off guard. After everything I have made you go through. This is the least I can do for her happiness and my way of feeling less guilty for the things that happened."

He added.Alex was still at Eliana and Jace's home when he told them that he was waiting for his lawyer. A few moments later, two lawyers came to their house. T

    "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! You are here." Amelia cheered, running towards Axel. The butler that walked him into the house took a bow and walked away."Hey Princess." Axel said, opening his hands wide for the running Amelia. He picked her up and swung her around before hugging her close to his chest.Axel laughed and Amelia giggled at that. "Woah. My Princess is getting bigger by the day." He said, after putting her down."Yes. I am a big girl now and a big sister too." Amelia said, as she pulled her father's hand towards the living room.
