Things have been going well since we took the kids to move in with us. The maids were stopped from entering the house despite knowing that they are from a trusted source but yet, we were trying to take caution. My mother hasn't called me since the incident like David.Maya has been helpful to take care of the kids, though Ava hasn't opened her arm widely for her father but she has been relating with her mother.Pearl practically lives with us, claiming she cannot get enough of her niece and nephew and she has been so helpful in teaching Ava what she had to know. Yes! Ava insisted on not changing her name back to Diamond, which Maya and Liam had to accept for the meantime.I woke up feeling relaxed! It's another beautiful day to be happy about life! I stretched my hand to the other part of the bed but it was vacant. What the hell! I opened my eyes immediately and to my utmost amazement, Ryan wasn't there.Where would he go early in the morning without giving me a good morning kiss? It'
"What happened? How did the pictures get out? We were the only ones on the rooftop? Who could have thought someone is tailing us?" I was lost in deep thought."Are you sure only two of you are there?" Liam questioned Ryan"I intentionally gave my workers a day off, just to be with her. Even I singlehandedly prepared the meal alone" Ryan responded"This is a big mess! People aren't helping the matter, the comment section is full of insults" Pearl uttered"Bitch! Why is she back as purple? To kill another set of people like her mother did?" "I knew it! Ryan recognized her from the beginning. I told my friend that beauty is the same as Kiara but she wouldn't believe""Her products will soon be killing people like her mother's chicken did""What are the cops doing? Criminals like this shouldn't be roaming the street. Our lives are in danger""But we heard that she has died. How come she resurrected?"Those were the comments from the people. To say I was annoyed was an understatement.★★★
David later left after threatening Ryan and me. Liam told me to calm down because he noticed how uneasy I looked."Nothing will happen to you," he assured me.I couldn't thank Pearl enough for what she has done and how she managed to get things done without anybody's support still marveling at us."Ain't you gonna pay me back? I've spent more than enough on your family to the extent that I had to see the silver necklace that Dad bestowed on me on my sixteenth birthday" she demanded"Why did you go far when you can simply ask me for money?" Ryan questioned in amazement"How would I ask a madman for money? Have you forgotten how you almost go crazy just because your angel was missing" she teased"What about Liam, you should have asked him! By the way, I would have regained my sanity if you had told me that my angel was somewhere healthy and safe" he said"Gosh! How would I ask Liam when I knew he was still angry with me for what happened to Maya and Ava then? Anyways, when are you going
Madam first lady was trembling and was very shocked by the whole thing."What's happening here?" President asked in a hoarse tone.Liam neglected his presence and faced the reporters."I'm sure a lot of people didn't know about my daughter. Next Saturday will make it six years since Ava Diamond Miller was born. She is a result of affairs I had with my maid but I can not deny the fact that I've loved my maid from day one. When she was fourteen months old, I lost her and her mother in a fire accident and we buried their remains. You probably didn't know about it because my father was just a political aspirant then and we also did a great job to bury the matter. I started having doubts a few weeks ago when I couldn't stop dreaming about her, I had to make my secret investigation, using two different groups and I got my answer. It happened that there was a mix-up from the autopsy carried out and the remains that were buried are strangers. The most interesting part is that the accident was
After making out in the jet, we kept romancing till we got to our destinations. We walked hand in hand out of the jet. The flight attendants kept staring at us with some unusual gazes."Don't tell me that they heard us moaning?" I whispered to Ryan"That shouldn't give you a headache since everybody knows we are in love with each other" he retorted nonchalantly.A black limousine was already waiting for us. Ryan and I entered, then the driver took off.It was very fun to watch the city of Toronto."Wow! How I wish we have enough days to spend here, I wouldn't mind touring the whole city" I exclaimed"We have three days to spend here and we can come back again if we are not able to tour all your desired places" he assured"Noted my love" I smiled"What did you just call me?" He questioned"My love. Is there anything wrong with that?" I inquired"Nope, but I like you calling me that. It means I'm the only person in your health and no one else will be allowed there" he giggled"Except ou
We didn't allow what happened between the Johnson family to ruin Ava's birthday. Rather, the president cautioned them to behave normally till the end of the party.The news is all over the internet. Starting from Ava's identity to the birth of Leonard and also, Mr. Johnson's illegitimate child as the media has called it. Some denied and trusted that Mr. Johnson cannot do such a thing. Some were asking for the reason he adopted Laura when he knew he had a son. All the same, they claimed to be expecting an explanation from the Johnson family."Why did you abandon him?" I queried Mr. Johnson as we were all sitting down in the president's sitting room after the birthday party."I didn't abandon him, I tried to look for him but I couldn't find him" he defended"That's a lie, don't try to look pitiful Because it's not gonna help the matter. He told me how you abandoned his mother after discovering that she was pregnant. Your wife couldn't conceive and you chased away your maid that was carr
Today is the first lady's court hearing. We were all sitting down in the court, expecting the judgment that was about to befall the almighty Alice Miller. The kids were left at home with a nanny. We felt that it isn't normal for them to have memories of their grandmother. Liam and his siblings were looking eager to see what is going to happen to their mother after all her wicked acts and also we were all scared to get betrayed by the judge and the lawyer, despite the president's assurance that all will turn out to be well.Alice was brought to the courtroom by two cops, followed by one of her lawyers. Yeah! Three lawyers were there to defend her crime. The judge entered after a while and the trial startedBoth lawyers began by defending their clients with numerous pieces of evidence. What baffled me most was that Alice was looking calm like nothing had happened and wouldn't take a glimpse at us, no matter how we stared into her face.She was wearing a blue blazer with a black skirt,
The crying of a baby was ringing inside my ear. Slowly, I opened my eyes dizzily. I felt my hands and legs numb. The voice of the baby was getting louder and I had to look for the baby. Alas! It was Leonard that was crying beside me. Ryan was trying to pet him to stop crying but he wouldn't listen to him."Leonard '' I called gently and like magic, he stopped crying and crawled to me. He placed his head on my chest which made me not resist caressing his little cheeks in return."Oh my goodness, my son is such a genius, he was crying because momma isn't doing fine" I murmured.I rolled my eyes and stared at the room in which I noticed that I was in our bedroom. I didn't know how I was rescued and to think I found myself under Ryan's care slightly annoyed me. Anyways, what matters most is that I was alive to see my son again.Leonard was already sleeping on my chest. I had to gather enough strength for me to lay him down comfortably beside me. I was very tired and I could feel that my b
*Eighteen years later*A lot of things have happened over the past eighteen years. After Liam's wedding, the ladies stood in the queue, waiting for her to throw her bouquet. She demonstrated the throwing two times but she didn't throw it.People were anticipating who the next bride would be but surprisingly, she started walking towards us."Babe, today wouldn't have happened if not for you. I remembered fighting you when we first met. It was fun to have a supporting friend like you and to say I was amazed when you told me to go ahead with the wedding plans despite that you have engaged and we all thought you would get married first. Here is the bouquet, it's yours and please, be fast with it" She handed the bouquet to me."Wow!""I like this!""Awwnnnnn""This is amazing" and lots more were the compliments we received from the guests."How I wish I also had a friend like Kiara," Pearl mumbled, which made all of us laugh.The couple walked to where the car was parked. They were leaving
To say I was shunned to see the first lady kneeling in front of me was an understatement, which also made me feel embarrassed."Stand up please, you are embarrassing me" I cautioned"I'm deeply sorry for what happened in the past. I'm not apologizing because I'm in this position but because I am remorseful. If I didn't try to separate Liam from Maya in the beginning, they would have been living happily with Diamond, likewise you and Ryan. I am a selfish mother who only thought about herself" she sobbed"Forgive me, Kiara. I've done more harm than good but yet, your love conquers all and still brings Maya back to Liam. My apologies to your mother and brother too. I've told my lawyer to will my properties for you and Maya, he will come to visit you anytime from now on, make sure you acknowledge it" she added"Oh no! You don't have to do that. I've forgiven you before you think of apologizing, so you don't need to will your properties for us" I declined immediatelyShe smirked before she
"Doctor, my son is too young to go through all the pain. Is there any other alternative?" I begged"Miss Smith, the only solution is surgery but don't worry, the professional will handle it and we can assure you that the success rate is high. The only problem is how we are going to get a heart donor. A heart donor is always someone ready to die and it's very rare to get. Moreso, we have two days to get the donor, that's our concern right now" he explainedI fell on my butt, finding it difficult to think straight."Does that mean I'm gonna lose my son if we aren't able to get a donor? Who would wanna die for my son to live?" I Muttered★★★★★★★★★★★★★The whole family was glimpsing at Leonard, through the transparent glass, including Ryan who was looking pitiful at his son.Lots of tubes were connected to his body and a long tube passed through his lung from his mouth, which made his mouth wide open.The hospital had to add his name on the list for a heart transplant and there was no ass
Forty-five minutes passed without any hope of getting out of there. Assuming my hands were free, I would have carried my son and ran out of the building.The boy was still sleeping which made me wonder if all was well with him but the escape took the majority of my thought.After a few seconds, I began to hear footsteps like some people were coming inside the room.I was at first scared because I thought they were sent to finish the job that Laura had started but on second thought, I was glad that they were coming to save us. Why? Because Laura wouldn't send people after she has already finished what she started.Suddenly, the footsteps halted, not moving again. My happiness turned into sadness immediately."Kiara! Kiara!!Kiara!!!" I heard the voices, echoing into the entire building."I'm here!" I gathered the remaining strength and screamed."Where?" One of the voices questioned againI looked around to check what to use to describe the room entrance but I recalled not getting glare
"Who the heck did this?" Ryan took the phone from me, staring at Leonard who was sleeping like nothing happened.The cops moved closer to us and took the phone, in an attempt to track the number. I was standing in Akimbo, likewise waiting for the number to be tracked and to get to the location where the person was hiding.One of the reporters came inside to ask for the update, which the cops replied to and he went back outside to update others.I was too weak to cry and the energy in me had been exhausted. If not for the motherhood Spirit in me, I would have given up, though I was rest assured that my son is doing fine, with the picture that was sent to me.After trying for one hour, the number couldn't be tracked. According to the head cop, the number was unregistered and it seemed to be a special number.A call was put across the telecommunication company, asking for the details of the person that has the number but all effort proved to be abortive.The phone beeped again after thir
No, no, no! It cannot be. Kimberly must be mistaken, how would she tell me that my son is missing? What the heck is she trying to say? Ryan and I hurriedly wore our clothes and we rushed to check out of the hotel.He began to drive at a very high speed. At one point, I forgot about Leonard and started thinking about my Life."Ryan" I screamed when I watched him overtake a big truck."Sit properly angel, we need to get home as fast as possible" he replied, overtaking another bus."Ryan, please, you need to drive slowly. Take things easy please, we need to get home in a good state" I pleaded but it fell on deaf ears."Call Liam now and inform him about what happened" he Instructed.I picked up my phone, amidst his reckless driving to dial Liam's number."Hello" he picked up the call instantly"Oh, my God! Ryan!!!" I shouted when I was a truck moving towards us. I thought I was going to die but Ryan was fast enough to divert the car to the other side."Kiara, what happened? Are you ther
I wasn't in the right state to drive a car. I rushed to the hallway, trying to stop a taxi. It took me a lot of time before I was able to find one."Hilton Hotel" I informed the taxi driver, who started driving almost immediately."Faster please" I instructed him"Hope all is okay ma'am?" The old man questioned"Will you keep your mouth shut and continue driving?" I fired angrily at him.After what seemed like forever, he parked in front of the hotel. I was about to go inside when I heard Liam's voice from behind."Kiara!" He called"Stop running please, people are watching you" he warned and that was when I noticed people's gazes were fixed on me. I managed to fake a smile, though it was hard."Let's go" he added, leading the way into the reception.I was watching Liam talking to the receptionist. Both were smiling like I wasn't there. I didn't have any interest in their conversation but they should be fast."Thank you" I heard Liam saying to the young lady."What took you for so lo
The gun fell from my hand, making me gasp at the view in front of me."Ryan!" I called gently as it was still looking like a dream to me."Ryan!" I cried out this time around. I looked beside me and couldn't find David again, he ran outside.I bent down to Ryan, who was lying helplessly on the floor. I began to shake him rigorously, finding it difficult to believe that I'd shot my lover."Ryan, please don't do this to me. I'm very sorry babe, it wouldn't happen again" I cried"Open your eyes please, what do you want me to tell Leonard? That I killed his father? Open your eyes before I'll shoot myself" I added, crying louder.To my awe, I heard him cough."Ryan, Ryan, can you hear me? Ryan" I slapped his cheeks with my two hands at the same time."Stop it!" He yelled but was very weak. Slowly, he began to open his eyes."What happened? What am I doing on the floor? Whose blood is this?" He questioned.I couldn't be happier to see that he was Alive. I ran a quick check on his body and n
"Noooo! You can't do this to me David please" I begged for mercy after he tore my gown. I knew no one to tell me that I'm doomed. Different thoughts were going through my mind."Who is going to rescue me? Why did I lie to Ryan about coming here? Have I known David has turned into a beast, I wouldn't have come right?"I tried to gain freedom but my energy was no match to his own.Shortly after, he finally tore down the gown, leaving me with pants and a bra."David, this is not going to make me love you. It's gonna let me hate you forever! I know you are doing this because of obsession but don't rape me please" I begged and was trembling at the same time."I don't fucking care! Isn't that the reason you went back to him after so many disappointments from his family? Oh, you thought I didn't know? I heard he fuck well and you can't get enough of his dick but I'll prove you wrong! I'll let you know that I fuck better than him! I'll fuck you till you are not moving again! You wouldn't have
