Chapter 33"Don't you dare lay your filthy hands on me!" I forcefully withdrew my hands from his grip.He stood there speechlessly, with his hands placed on his face.I just need him to retaliate. I need him to show the world what he's made of.To my greatest surprise, he went on his knees. I had to shift back to avoid his hands touching me."I know I treated you badly, and I regret it. I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for treating you badly when all you did was love me endlessly. Please, Alisha. Come back to me! I swear I will treat you better this time around." I glared at him in disgust. I just wish I could hold his neck and snap the life out of him."Save your apology, dear Alpha. It's no longer needed. All I need now is space; I just need you to stay miles away! If you want me to forgive you, never show your goddamn face to me. Ever again. I no longer love you, Darien. Loving you is a thing of the past. All I feel towards you now is resentment. Just go and never come back." I
Chapter 34I'm so sorry, boss. I'm a changed person now. Please don't ask me to leave," Sonia pleaded, in tears."Go to the detention room and collect your resignation papers. I'm done with you. Don't let me come back here and find you because you won't find it funny," he picked up his phone and began heading out of the office. But Sonia crawled after Jim, attempting to grip his legs."Touch me and I will kill you!" he warned strictly."Please, I will do anything you want, anything, just don't sack me. I will do anything you want, just mention it. I will let you have me. Right here, right now, just don't sack me, please." Her boss chuckled."You will let me have you? Oh come on, I'm not sex-starved. Even if I was, I wouldn't go for a classless, cheap bitch like you! Oh, you think I don't know how you got screwed by all the guys in this company? Well, if you must know, I know everything, including how you got screwed real hard by David and Justin last year eve. They made a video of it,
Chapter 35There's no going back now, Alisha!" My eyes widened as I halted in my spot."That's not funny, Uncle Henry; you are scaring me," Daniel broke into another round of tears."Stop it, Henry! You are scaring my kid!" I threatened, hoping he would stop, but instead, he dropped the bags he was carrying and hastened his speed.Immediately, I dropped the tiny bag I was carrying so I could hold Daniel properly, and then I turned and fled. As I ran, I could hear his loud footsteps.Why is Henry doing this? So he brought us here to scare us or rather get us killed?I descended the stairs as fast as my legs could carry me. I got to the last staircase only to see another Henry standing in front of us.I became so confused that I had to stop running."What's up with you, Alisha? Why were you running?" I looked back again, hoping to see Henry standing just before the staircase; he was no longer chasing after us. He had a mischievous smile on his face. Slowly, he turned and left, just the
Chapter 36 "But what?" The doctor adjusted his glasses as if he was finding it difficult to say what he wanted to say. "But what, doctor? Go ahead and tell me what happened to my son!" I half-yelled. "Please, Mr. Can I talk to you for a moment?" The doctor faced Henry, who then faced me. "Hold on, Alisha, let me have a word with the doctor. Calm down, okay?" Henry told me. I shook my head, indicating no; I wasn't going to let them say anything behind my back. "Say whatever you have to say here! Daniel is my son, and I deserve to know whatever happens to him!" I insisted. "Fine, he was brought in here a little too late. I noticed he's having kidney failure; he will need a donor. He's a kid, so we should act very fast if we want him to survive this stage. Although he's fine, he's unconscious, and I can't guarantee you he will be waking up anytime soon. From what I've noticed, he might stay in that state for up to three months. Well, just focus on getting a donor for him while you
Chapter 37Alisha's POVI peeped into the hospital room from outside since the doctor ordered me to remain outside.Seeing my son lying down unconscious made me tired.I blame myself for agreeing to go with Henry in the first place. I should have refused to go inside when I saw that building. My instincts kept telling me something was off about that building, but I still chose to ignore it. Now look at where it has ended up.A nurse walked out from the door, closing it behind her."How's my son doing?" I asked the nurse, but she ignored my question and walked away. Soon after, she returned holding a plate filled with medical supplies."Nurse, is everything okay? How is my son doing?" She glared at me in anger."Stop disturbing me, madam! You can see we are trying our best. I'm tired already; don't add to my anger!" she blurted rudely before entering the room again.A tear slipped down my cheek. What did I do wrong? Why was she yelling at me? Did I do wrong by asking how my son was far
Chapter 38"He will die if we don't find a match for him after one week." My heart skipped."Tell me it's a joke. Tell me nothing will happen to my son.""I can't assure you that, ma'am, but we are trying our best.""Please, doctor, you can just take my own and give it to him," I blurted."Well, I'm sorry, ma'am, but at this moment you aren't fit because of your condition. You already look sick. Taking one of your kidneys is like giving you a death sentence," the doctor explained."But doctor," I protested."What about your husband? Can't we use his?" the doctor questioned."He only has one, and he's not the father," I replied sadly.While Drake gave one of his kidneys to his late wife, who later died."Then what of the boy's father? Go get his father; he is in a better position to save the boy." My eyes widened. How the hell was I supposed to go to the father? That's impossible."The father and I are no longer together," I managed to say."That doesn't matter now, miss. If you want y
Chapter 39Writer's POV "Wait? Did he just mention that my son is sick? Why didn't she tell me about it? Does she prefer losing him to letting me know about it? Does she hate me that much?" Darien asked Wren, who chuckled."You expect her to tell you after everything you did to her? Come on, Darien, life doesn't work that way. Even if she refuses to forgive you, I won't blame her," Wren added."So what do you suggest we do? Drake didn't even give me the chance to ask further questions. How do we know the hospital he was taken to? How about we just try calling him again?"Wren nodded and picked up his phone, dialing the line again, but got no response. After trying eight times with no response, he gave up on calling Drake."We just have to do this alone. He's already done enough by calling to inform you. You know Alisha would never have permitted him if he'd told her he was doing this without telling her," Wren told him."So what should we do now?" he asked again.He's always fond of
Chapter 40 Hospital Henry walks in smiling widely; Alisha looks at him and then turns away."Hey, Alisha, I'm sorry for not showing up since morning. Something urgent came up; that's why I couldn't come back in the morning. I'm sorry. How's he doing now?" Alisha ignored him."I know you are mad at me, but you have to listen to my explanation. I didn't mean to treat you this way." Alisha chuckled and looked up at him."It's fine, Henry. I wasn't complaining. I know perfectly well that you have your own life to live other than going around with my kid and me. Drake just left; I wasn't alone; he was here throughout the day. He came just after you left. You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine." Alisha fakes a smile."And what about Henry? How's he faring?""The doctor said he only has one week to live. They are currently looking for a donor. I just pray they find one soon; seeing him in there breaks my heart," she sniffs.Henry wanted to hug her, but he remembered what his mom told h
Chapter 99Daniel moved back immediately and Alisha glared at him.Mr Mandes noticed what happened but chose not to talk.Daniel bent his head pitifully, indirectly telling the old man it wasn't his fault."It's okay dear, come take a seat" Daniel nodded and then took a seat beside his mom."Come on dear, I prepared something for you. I prepared your favorite, I hope you will love it" Alisha smiled and then followed her to the dining.***Darien's POV;I sat on my study checking out the report Wren brought earlier.A faint knock came on the door."Come in," I muttered. I needed no one to tell me it was one of the guards."Alpha, your brother is outside, he refuses to leave, else he sees you" the guard reported."It's okay, you may leave, I will join you shortly" I discarded him.I dropped the pen and then arranged the documents into the file the way Wren brought it to me.After making sure they'd been properly arranged I walked out of the room."What are you doing here?" I asked glari
Chapter 98Next morning*Writer's POV:Mrs Mandes already bathes the baby, she's currently dressing him."Good morning honey, hope you slept well?" Mr Mandes walked into the room, he'd gone Down the stairs when she was giving the baby a bath in the bathroom earlier."Good morning, my night was flawless, I slept with my grandson and he didn't cry for his mom, he just slept peacefully, let me quickly finish up so I could go give him to his mom so she could feed him," she told her husband."Thank you so much, you finally slept after days of continuous struggles, don't worry our Mira will come back to us" he touched her shoulders."I know, you needed to have seen the way she was looking at me happily, she just didn't want to admit it easily" she teased."Yes, I noticed it too. The alpha told me he'd bring her over today" a smile spread across her face."He told you that? Then I need to go prepare, I should prepare her favorite food, I will prepare it myself. I will just tell the maids to
Chapter 97The statement kinda got her but she still maintained her composure."I will get going now that I've seen that you are fine, I will be paying visits once in a while," Alisha told her after they shook hands."Yeah, and I will be happy to welcome you anytime," Sonia muttered.Alisha after saying a few things to Drake left them Drake turned to Sonia.‘‘You kind of seemed nervous when you were discussing it with her. Is anything the matter?’’Drake who noticed how restless she looked asked"No, I wasn't nervous, I just didn't feel comfortable with her approach. Like her way of talking to me, she made me feel really uncomfortable but it's fine, she's your sister so there's nothing I can do!" She muttered pretending to be the victim."You are thinking too much. Don't reason it too much, that's exactly how she behaves with everyone, and besides she's not a bad person. If I can remember clearly she was the one who brought you to the hospital the day you had this accident" Drake told
Chapter 96Alisha's POV;I knocked on the door for the third time waiting for a response.I've been standing out here for some time now. Earlier Darien urged me to go see Sonia who just returned from the hospital since they didn't allow Clara to see how she was faring, I guess I have to do it and I'm here.After knocking for the fourth time I finally heard Drake's voice."I'm coming to hold on" He opened the door and as expected his face brightened the moment he saw me, he never thought I would come over to his place."Good afternoon" I greeted."Oh gawd, I'm so happy you came, please come in" he smiled happily then dragged me in.After which he made me sit then turned on the TV for me, then left to go get me a drink. "Thank you" I muttered while collecting the orange juice from him. I wonder how he knew it was my favorite."You are shocked how I got to know you liked orange a lot right?" I shook my head in denial. Though I knew I was lying."I'm not shocked, you probably just guess
Chapter 95“Else what? Else you beat me? I'm going to do whatever I deem fit with her and you won't do a thing about it!" Emily cut him off."Then I dare you Mom, I'm daring you to do it! Try shit and watch me ruin everything you worked for! You seem more interested in this throne than me, which I have observed very closely. If you dare lay a hand on her mom, count me out of this whole power tussle. I have risked literally everything just so you could be happy, all my life I've been doing your bidding, just this once Mom, let me do what I please. I'm also a human mom, I also have feelings, Mom, I have emotions too. I've spent my whole life wanting Alisha, I've spent my whole life waiting for her to accept me into her life but that never happened, now that I've finally found someone else you also want me to abandon her just so you could be happy? No one Mom!" Henry blurted, ignoring the glares from his mom."Can you just listen to yourself? Just pause and hear yourself! You are sudden
Chapter 94Writer's POVDora walked into her room, falling tiredly onto the bed.This was literally the third office she'd visited, but all of them had turned her down.Tears rolled down her cheeks as she remembered how everything happened.How they used her and dumped her to suffer, and everything."They will pay for all they did to me!" she lamented."What can you do, or what do you plan on doing?" she heard a voice behind her, and she quickly jumped down from her bed to look at who had just spoken."Who are you, and how did you get in here?" She quickly turned on the light."Someone you've been dying to see," Henry blurted, getting up from the chair behind the bed."How did you get in here, and what are you doing here?" she questioned angrily."Aren't you expecting to see me? Don't pretend like you aren't happy to see me here today; I know you miss me too," she hissed loudly."I don't know how you managed to get in here, and I don't wish to know. Just leave the same way you came!"
Chapter 93Alisha's POVI watched from the stairs as Michael entered his car and drove off.I just saw them rush towards Drake, who returned shortly with Sonia in his arms.I didn't bother going after them.Shortly after they left, Wren and his wife left, and then Darien returned."What happened?" I asked him."Clara pushed Sonia to recover her memory, and Wren became angry with her. He asked her to apologize," he explained. Deep down, I felt Sonia got what she deserved, but seeing how sad Michael looked made me feel bad.I've always known Sonia to be very bad, aggressive, and mean. I heard what she did to Clara and her kids, and I still blame her for it."I will go take a shower now. I've asked the guards to pick Daniel up from school," I nodded.He pecked my cheeks gently before walking in.***Unknown."We can't just lose Henry; we can't just sit back and watch him declare that filthy thing as his heir. It's not possible!" Emily told Henry."There's nothing we can do, Mom. Now she
Chapter 92Hospital*Drake waited patiently outside the hospital.The other doctors had insisted he wait outside while they did the work. They didn't allow him in and it kind of worried him."You don't have to worry, she will be fine" his mom for the first time comforted him by simply tapping his shoulders.Seeing his mom comfort him got him happy but it's not the time to be happy."Yes son, she will be fine, just calm down" his dad assured him."How do you expect me to be fine when she's not? What if something happens to her?" He questioned looking at his mom."It's okay, she will be fine" his mom had barely concluded her statement when the door opened."Doctor, how is she? Is she okay?" The doctor nodded, smiling."Yes Doc, she's fine, in fact, there's good" Drake's expression changed.There's only one possible good news and the news alone scares him so much."She finally regained every bit of her memory, this is so shocking to us because patients who suffer this usually regain thei
Chapter 91"what have you done?" Drake yelled in frustration."I didn't do anything to her, I didn't touch her I swear" Clara denied."You were forcing words on her even when she kept telling you to stop! Pray nothing happens to her!" Drake pointed at her, angrily."I didn't do anything to stop her from shouting at me!" Clara defended."You mean I was blind? I clearly saw everything, just pray nothing happens to her!" It was then the rest of them rushed into the corridor."What's going on here? what's the noise about?" Darien asked."Ask her, ask her why she kept forcing words on her even after she asked her not to, I should have known you were up to no good when you suddenly wanted to show her the restroom" Drake let out his frustrations."I didn't, I was only telling her a few things!" Clara defended."What few things? You must have told her something that triggered her anemia, you should have clearly kept shut when she requested you do so!" Michael added.He knows everything that
