TESSA POV“ Why Triss? Drake why? “ I angrily asked as I looked at both of them.When I saw Triss smirking at me I knew that there was something fishy about this pregnant lady and when I looked at her, she looked very familiar.“ What did we do? “ They asked in unison but the guilt was written all over their faces.I glared at them angrily and decided to reserve all I have to say till they get back from signing the marriage certificate.“ You all should go sign the marriage certificate first, my husband and I would sit here with this lady and wait for you guys so that we can address this issue because I won't accept this. If we don't address this issue I'll pack back to my father's house “ I threatened.“ No, my daughter, there must be a mix-up somewhere.

TESSA POV“ Tess, What's going on here? “ Kace asked curiously. Liana and pulled away from each other and she sat beside me not wanting to go back to her sit any longer.She hadn’t changed a bit. Always wanting to be close to me. I guess she was the nearest person Drake could use to do his dirty work and I’m sure he didn’t tell her that I was one she would do this to.I’m very sure she would have refused if she knew it was me from the onset.“ Eliana here was my classmate from high school, she was on scholarship so the rich kids loved to bully her a lot “ I began to explain.“ I used to admire Tess a lot back then because she didn’t allow her rich background to influence her character. She wasn’t as rude and pompous as the other rich kids “ Eliana said looking at her with a smile.“ One day the cheerleader Kim and her clique took me to the female toilet and began to bully me.

It was a beautiful elderly woman who wore the same uniform as the maids who interfered. I haven't seen her since I came.“ Nanny Agatha, what do you mean? “ Kace asked her and secretly mouthed for her not to say what she was about to say.I guess she overheard us and wanted Drake to pay for his actions. She saw what Kace mouthed to her and the others didn't see because Kace had his back to them.“ Well, what I was trying to say was that she didn't say the part where I recognized her when she walked into the gate and asked her to go back home to her grandmother.

I was just trying to get a reaction from you Tess. I know you would never allow me to kiss you, you might probably bite my lips if I do so without you agreeing to it “ “ Is this funny to you Kace? “ I asked angrily and the smile from his face disappeared when he saw that I wasn't happy about it.“ Tess I'm sorry I didn't know it would rile you up. I was just playing with you, " he said.“ This is your definition of playing? Is that how you play with your female friends? “ I couldn't help but ask. The tho

What would we tell her parents if they hear she is in the hospital? “ My mother-in-law said sobbing.I was surprised to hear the doctor say Triss lost her baby because honestly speaking I didn't believe she was ever pregnant. I thought it was a ploy by her so she could get married into the Crawford family.Hearing this saddened my heart even though she offended me. I could only imagine how she was feeling at that moment. It isn't an easy thing for a woman to experience a miscarriage.“ Calm down Rachael this isn't the end, she can get pregnant again and Tess here will give us grandchildren too, you see!! “ My father in law said, trying to calm his wife down.“ How do you even know Tess is Fertile, if not she ought to have been pregnant by now c

Why did she end the call so abruptly? I was worried and so was Tess and her mom.I dialed Brandon’s number to ask him to track Eliana's phone so that we would know her location and go to check on her because I feared that she was in danger due to the way she ended the call abruptly.“ Hey Brandon, please can you track Eliana’s number?

Hardly had I closed the door when Tessa ran and crushed me in a bear hug.I hugged her back as the scent of her shampoo graced my nose, it was soothing and made me realize how much I was scared if she didn't remember anything.The thought she was carrying my child too made me nervous and glad at the same time.

I pulled up into Vin’s parking space after twenty minutes and rang the doorbell. The door opened immediately as though the person had been standing at the door and waiting for me.“ What's up? How is Tess doing? Any good news regarding her health? “ Brandon asked immediately after I got into the house.It was noon and really sunny outside, so when I got into the house, I loved it when the cold emitting from the air conditioning in the house touched my skin.
