“Mum, Miss Bernard is Alice’s mum”, Caleb said hastily, skipping pleasantries.“Manners young man”, Rissa said, giving him a disapproving face.“I am sorry, hello mum”, he responded instantly.Rissa hugged him lovingly and thanked the bodyguard who brought him back.“Who is Alice by the way?” Rissa questioned, confused.“Mum! You forgot my girlfriend; I am disappointed”, Caleb said, pouting.Rissa rolled her eyes inwardly and drew him closer.“Okay, sorry, what about her?” She said smiling“It turns out our teacher, Miss Bernard, is her mum”, Caleb said enthusiastically.Rissa's memory resurfaced, and Miss Bernard hit on Adrian openly during the last encounter they had.“So did you give Miss Bernard the shoes?” Rissa questioned.“Not yet mum but her dad was scary, I guess Miss Bernard likes my dad because he is not scary, but Alice said you will hate dad if Miss Bernard likes him”Rissa busted into uncontrollable laughter surprised by the little kid analysing their life.“Your mum won

“To Liam Hickson, I would say all will be well”.Rissa said and smiled warmly at one of the kids rallying around her.Liam scoffed inwardly and picked up his spoon.He kept munching on his food hungrily quickening the pace.“You are going to get indigestion at this rate”.Amber said, watching him with a raised brow.He didn't respond to her because he knew better than to.Amber picked up her bag and stood up abruptly.“Well, I am not idle either, Mr Hickson; I am a CEO; I will see you later”.She turned to leave but Liam held her hand.“Thank you, Amber, I mean it”Amber smiled warmly and walked out without another word.Liam picked up his phone immediately and dialled a number.“How is my father doing?” he questioned.“He isn't yet awake, Mr Hickson, but his heartbeat remains steady”, the receiver responded instantly.“Okay, have you traced the blog's address?” Liam questioned with a huge lump in his throat.“Yes, but it was opened in a foreign country, China to be precise”, the rece

“Mr George!” Rissa shouted wide-eyed.“Miss me?” Mr George said mockingly.Mrs Robinson scoffed loudly “What is this dimwit doing here?” She muttered under her breath eyeing Mr George maliciously.“Well, I came as a well-wisher, aren't I even privileged to be one?” He said teasingly facing Rissa.“I guess you were well disguised enough that the security didn't recognize you”, Mrs Robinson said scornfully.“Ouch! That stings a bit, but let me ask you,” he said, turning to Mrs Robinson. “Am I a criminal now? From what I know, I am a free man; I only lost my job here; that's all”, he said grimly.“If you had any honour, to begin with, you would be ashamed to set your foot into Perchy Peach, you fucking traitor!” Mrs Robinson shouted at him.Mr George laughed hysterically “I can see you haven't gotten over me, too bad, the charges were dropped, weren't they?” Rissa was quiet for a while watching their duo banter with words.“Why did you do it?” Rissa asked calmly, out of the blue facing

Adrian sat in the front row, watching the international panelists do their job.His mind was muddled as he thought of what the results would eventually be.He watched them simultaneously penning down some things that were far beyond his line of vision.Flashes of camera light filled the air as the bloggers and reporters were busy taking their fill of it.Adrian had spent a fortune in inviting these highly sought-after panelists from the world food production Regulations.If their assessment of the new products developed turns out negative, it will have a negative impact on their already existing products in the market.It was a calculated risk he was taking as a businessman.Rissa was literally shivering on her seat so were the other members of the new product development department.This was the second day of their staff week and the most crucial of all.Adrian's keen eyes was focused on the bald panelists on the far left seat whose countenance remained blank.His eyes met Rissa's an

“Can I tell you a secret?” Rissa whispered seductively into Adrian's ears at the time that the elevator ding opened.They instantly tore apart out of sheer embarrassment; they stayed quiet as the amused look on the face of Mrs Robinson said it all.“Mr Grey, congratulations to us for today's victory, Miss Stonebridge has been breaking through the toughest boundaries”“Stop flattering me Mrs Robinson, I am starting to get shy”, Rissa said playfully.“She wasn't flattering you, Rissa; you have indeed been making us real proud”, Adrian said, taking them both by surprise.Rissa blushed furiously, Mrs Robinson left them and took the elevator while they went into Adrian's office holding hands.Liam couldn't help but scoff loudly as Rissa’s smiling face showed up on the internet again.“Perchy Peach has been taking their sweet time basking in the limelight because we got hit for a short time”.“Adrian Grey is a businessman, don't blame him”, Amber said, munching on an apple pie.“Aren't thos

“If Caleb wasn't in the picture, we probably…. would still have met and we would fall in love like this”.Adrian said, holding her hand in his and kissing it softly.Rissa blushed furiously “Then I would have been a perfect Cinderella twice”.Adrian didn't respond to that, without Rissa being the mother of his child.He had been smitten by her the first day he had seen her through the CCTV footage on her first day at work.Seeing her as his victim's mother and confirming she works with Perchy Peach further supported his belief in their twisted fate.“Your turn Adrian”, Rissa said smiling.Adrian's mind was clouded; tons of questions swirled around his subconscious mind, begging to be unleashed.“Were you deeply in love with him? I mean back then”, he asked shyly.“If you are referring to my ex-husband Liam, I was in love with him or let's say, I thought I was until his feeble mind got the best of what I thought we had”, Rissa confessed sardonically.Adrian was silent for a split secon

“Miss Donaldson, are going to continue living in denial?” the therapist said with a raised brow.“Denial! Denial of what exactly?”“Of the fact that your thirst for revenge supersedes your chance of forgiveness”, the therapist responded worriedly.Diane laughed hysterically, “I must say, you aren't a sham; no wonder Liam Hickson comes all the way here to you”.“Mr Hickson! You know him?” the older woman asked with a confused expression on her face.“Let's say, I do in the past”, Diane responded nonchalantly.The therapist heaved a deep sigh.“Are you his ex-wife?” She asked sternly.“See! You are really smart”, Diane said sweetly.“Are you here for a therapy session or to stalk him?” The woman asked calmly, maintaining eye contact with Diane.“Both actually”“If you will excuse me, Miss Donaldson, I have a place to be now”, the woman said, standing up abruptly.“I can see he had bad-mouthed me a lot to you”, Diane said.“I am not obligated to reveal to you my session with another cli

Liam crossed his legs and smiled widely scanning through the official invitation sent by Perchy Peach to him.He wouldn't have considered such a late offer if he weren't playing hooky with Adrian Grey's integrity.He looked over at his father's peacefully sleeping face and rage engulfed him.“Hang in there dad, I will show you my strength soon”He looked around the room and his eyes settled on several bunches of flowers that had been sent by well-wishersPeople are so gullible enough to fall for whatever they hear on the internet, he thought inwardly.He stood up abruptly and left the hospital ward.He had missed three scheduled therapy sessions already.Liam got into his car and zoomed off at high speed.He alighted in front of the building and walked in putting his initial worries all away.This was his safe haven, he thought inwardly.“Mr Hickson, it is such a pleasure to see you again”, the therapist said excitedly.“Thank you, I am sorry I cancelled our initial schedules thrice;

The door opened with a loud thud and Adrian jumped up abruptly, his heart thumping loudly that he could barely manage to stand up straight. Rissa rushed towards them, and they all gathered around the surgeon, who threw a casual look at Rissa's exquisite shimmering flowing white gown.“The surgery was successful”Just one word and jubilation filled the air; Bianca and the baby boy had made it, and to their relief, Caleb hugged his cousin Gracia, who was still so overwhelmed that she had gotten a little brother at her teenage age. Bianca’s husband broke down in tears and Adrian had to console him.Adrian held Rissa's hand, and they exited the hospital; now that the baby had been born, they could enjoy the later part of their wedding party in merriment. Once they returned to the venue, Rissa rushed back to her changing room, where her designer was waiting patiently; Adrian had booked her for the whole day’s worth, so she had no problem with their little charade.“Let us skip the second l
Stolen heaven Chapter 199: Something Dumb To Do
The cool breeze blew in Rissa's face, and she felt bliss formed in her heart; for the second time in her lifetime, she heard the priest announce her arrival.“Here comes the bride”All heads turned in her direction, and thousands of eyes followed her gentle stride; from the pleasant look on their faces, her designer had done a flawless job. The stress that came with fitting her bulging stomach into the elegant dress she chose was a really hilarious moment for Camela. Rissa had vowed that her pregnancy wasn't going to stop her from slaying to her wedding.Abraham got up, Stella gave him a reassuring nod and he made for Rissa's side. She gave him a soft smile as the feeling of safety engulfed her; he had been nothing short of a wonderful father figure since she met him, and she wasn't willing to trade him for anyone, even if her real father were to show up, which was very unlikely. Walking her down the aisle, Abraham had truly earned it.Rissa's eyes met Adrian's, he looked at her so dr
Stolen heaven Chapter 198: To Call Your Bluff
Rosa kept shooting daggers at Adrian, but he didn't care; all that mattered was getting them deported out of Los Angeles. The police officers ushered them into the van. Bryan was silent, which bothered Adrian a little, but he overlooked it.Mrs Denver didn't show up; she had invited them, Bryan and Rosa, over only to hand them over to Adrian, who was hellbent on putting them behind bars or getting them deported. Unfortunately, Bryan had no other recorded crime aside from illegal entry, but Rosa could spend a few years behind bars for abetting Diane's crimes.Rosa was being dragged forcibly by a policeman when she screamed out; he released her arm as black blood was seeping out; Adrian remembered their last encounter, the bullet wound, and explained to the officers; they allowed her to undress the wound, to their surprise, it was rotting away.Adrian closed his eyes, disgusted by the pungent smell coming out of them; they decided to take her to the hospital while Bryan was to go into d
Stolen heaven Chapter 197: Bygone!!!
“I believe you are holding our family's treasure, Mr. Hickson.”Mrs Denver's loud voice cut through the air, the amusement behind her voice, a loud sound of victory. Liam contemplated calling off her charade but he decided to be civil about it.“I thought you said she wasn't your husband’s illegitimate daughter?” he questioned with a slightly raised brow.“I lied, but now that the three of them are dead and I don't have to take sleeping pills to force myself to sleep, I need to rub it in my husband's face by burying her ashes beside his”.Liam paused for a few seconds savouring the bitterness behind her words. She wasn't totally wrong. Diane’s bad blood was inherited from her callous father, Mr Denver, and they didn't really deserve any mercy. He looked down at the ceramic he was holding and stretched it forward to her.He had achieved his aim already, so having her ashes taken away by her family wasn't a big deal. His mind drifted off to the day he got their divorce papers signed, th
Stolen heaven Chapter 196: Who You Were
*Diane's Dream*Clara tried holding Diane's hand, but she pushed her hands away; the pain in her eyes, the unspoken resentment, she wondered how she even recognized her, but none of it seemed to matter; she just wanted to get out of her sight.“I am sorry my child”Diane turned around and gave her a disdainful look as if it mattered at all; all she wanted was to return to Rissa's ward and infuse the poisonous substance into her bloodstream. She looked around herself, everywhere looked so bright and deserted.She walked on, ignoring the helpless lady standing by her side pleading for her forgiveness; her life had been made miserable all thanks to her mother's reckless choice of man.“Diane, I never abandoned you, it is just….”“Save it to yourself, woman; I do not think I want to hear your excuses; I just want to get the hell out of here.”To her surprise, the woman did as she said, within a split second she disappeared, replaced by an all too familiar face, Mr Smith.

“Adrian, am I pregnant?” Rissa wanted to scream but she held it in. An awkward silence ensued in the room; Adrian looked away instantly, avoiding Rissa's piercing gaze. Liam took it as a clue to leave, his bombshell seemed to have caused a shift in the atmosphere of the room.“I will check up on you later,” Liam said and winked playfully at Caleb, who smiled warmly in return. He walked out of the room with Adrian by his side. The moment they were out of sight, he apologized profusely to Adrian for spilling the beans. He had unintentionally eavesdropped on Adrian and the doctor's conversation earlier, which made him realize she was pregnant at a very early stage.“It is fine; congratulations to you, too. I guess Mrs. Hickson must be overwhelmed.”“She is, our daughter Bella is barely eight months old and……wait! Why are we talking about this?” Liam said bewildered.“Beats me too; we aren't friends after all,” Adrian responded, and awkwardly, they both laughed heartily.Adrian and Liam

Bryan paced endlessly, agitated by the silence around him. She had promised to reach out to him when the coast was clear but apparently something unfortunate had happened. He ruffled his lustrous hair as frustration welled up in him. Rosa wasn't the type to ghost him indefinitely.He thought inwardly about taking the offer discreetly. Mrs. Denver had reached out to him without Rosa's knowledge; she had warned him of her two-faced plot, and he was caught between calling it a bluff or actually naming her a traitor.Diane and Rosa have their pictures and videos circulating the internet. He was certain they were together but had she changed her mind and taken Diane's side again? He didn't want to talk about it.A knock sounded at the door, and he opened it immediately; he staggered backward, startled; he had expected a hotel attendant, but to his amazement, two prominent men in Los Angeles had paid him a visit.“Can we come in?”Bryan’s eyes widened, and he stared intently into Adrian Gre

The news of his family's safe return had raised a lot of jubilations that made even Liam happy.When the news of Rissa and Caleb's kidnap was aired, fear gripped him; he couldn't take his eyes off his family for days. He felt bad for Adrian, but he felt worse because it was Rissa. Bella crawled up to him enthusiastically flaunting her rattle in his face.Liam picked her up and wrapped his arm around her, she was growing up way too fast that it gave him unexplainable joy. Amber entered the room looking dejected and Liam got worried. He walked up to her and inquired what the problem was, her response shocked him to the bone marrow.“You mean we are having another baby?” He questioned wide-eyed.Amber responded with a short nod and busted into tears. Liam left the room immediately to drop Bella with her n
Stolen heaven Chapter 192: To Ruin The Day
“Shall we play a game, Adrian?” Her devilish wink sent shivers down his spine; he looked down at Caleb, who seemed to be fidgeting too; he exchanged knowing looks with him, assuring him of having the situation under control.“The rules are simple: just nod your response, no talking, you talk, he dies! non-negotiable”.Adrian closed his eyes and nodded in affirmation, Diane sat up on the chair and faced him while still on his knees. Adrian could feel his knees hurting, but he didn't care at all; all that mattered to him was getting his family out of the hellhole.“Did Mr Smith offer you a deal?”Adrian nodded affirmatively, and Diane cursed inwardly; she suspected that sly bastard was up to something; she should have thrown him to the fishes when she had the chance.Her phone rang, and she looked over at it; she exchanged stiff glances with Rosa, who got the message clearly. Rosa came close to her and held Caleb by the shoulder while Diane left to pick up her discreet call.Rosa star
