"I'm lost," the girl behind us said tearfully.He was about 4 years old and a very beautiful child. He obviously looked of British descent. Bailey and I smiled and immediately approached the child."Are you missing baby girl? Where are your parents?" Bailey asked gently."I don't know," the child replied and cried.I immediately picked up the child and made him sit down and Bailey comforted the child but still wouldn't stop crying."Do you want lollilop or chocolate?" Bailey asked the child."Yes i want want," he replied once pout.Bailey and I smiled and promised that we would buy her chocolate when she stopped crying. I suddenly imagined the future of Bailey and me when we have a child. I know it's too early but I see my future with her.We went to the store and bought a lot of chocolates. The girl was very happy when we gave her the chocolates."Yeahey! Thank you Handsome," he said smiling.Bailey laughed at what she heard from the child. I smiled at what the girl said. We walked a
BAILEY POVI assured him that in the event of my demise, I would not leave behind any financial obligations in this lifetime.With a frown, he scolded me, "Stop behaving like that!"It's hard to comprehend how he could speak to me in such a manner, especially when he could clearly see my weakened state. Every breath is a struggle, and my body feels feeble.Before I could utter a word, I suddenly lost consciousness. I have no recollection of what happened next.When I finally regained consciousness, I found myself in a warm and comforting room. The doctor, who was currently drawing my blood, stood before me.To my surprise, I saw both Elijah's mother and my own mother seated by my side. Elijah himself gazed at me with a serious expression. As I attempted to move, a sharp pain shot through my stomach. My mother quickly intervened, supporting me."Don't move, my dear," she said gently.Confused and tearful, I asked, "What happened, mom? Is my baby alright?""Hush now, the baby is safe. Y
"Call the Doctor, Sweetheart! Baby Darling is shaking and it's so hot!" she said in a panic.I got up backward and writhed in pain. I was too confused by what Elijah's mother said. I saw the doctor take my son and take him out of the room with Elijah's parents.I was restless and my chest was pounding so hard. I can't explain the trembling I felt at that time."Mom, my daughter," I said, crying."Calm down first, Mila. Baby Darling will be okay," my mother replied.I couldn't stop my tears from falling. Mother stroked my back and hugged me. She always said that everything would be okay."Everything will be fine. Trust me, daughter" she said gently.But even if he didn't say it, I could see the concern in her eyes. My mother is very brave, unlike me who is weak-hearted."I hope so, mother," I responded emotionally.She hugged me tightly and somehow eased the weight of my feelings. I was restless, waiting for Elijah's parents to return. I wanted to follow them to find out about my daugh
My heart raced as I struggled to comprehend what Elijah's mother had just said. The pain in my body intensified, causing me to writhe in discomfort. I watched in a daze as the doctor swiftly whisked my son away, accompanied by Elijah's parents.Restlessness consumed me, and my chest throbbed with anxiety. The trembling sensation I experienced was indescribable, leaving me feeling utterly helpless."Mum, my daughter," I managed to choke out through tears."Take a deep breath, Bailey. Baby Darling will be alright," my mother reassured me, her voice filled with compassion.Unable to contain my emotions, tears streamed down my face. My mother gently stroked my back and enveloped me in a comforting embrace. She always had a way of soothing my worries, assuring me that everything would eventually be alright."Have faith, my dear. Everything will work out," she whispered softly.Yet, even without uttering a word, I could see the concern etched in her eyes. My mother possessed a remarkable st
I heard a woman's voice from the other line. I can't explain my feelings at that time and asked myself who is this woman?"Hello, who is this?"she asked."You? Who are you?" I asked back to her."I am the only wife of the owner of this cellphone. Where is my husband?" I asked firmly.I was surprised when the woman on the other line suddenly laughed. Was there something funny in what I said?"Why are you laughing? Is there something funny in what I said?" I asked her flatly."Wife? He never mentioned to me that he has a wife," he answered."What right do you have to doubt what I said? Where is my husband?" I asked her angrily."I am Mr. Elijah's girlfriend.He didn't have a wife that was introduced to me,"she answered."Well, I will introduce myself to you. I am his wife. I am his only wife and we have a child," I introduced myself.It took a few seconds before the woman spoke and simply laughed so I got even more annoyed with her.“Don't you understand that you are not recognized as
"If you had aborted that child, we wouldn't have had a problem!" he said emphatically.I couldn't stop myself from slapping him. I did a hard slap so he grabbed his cheek. He was about to hit me but suddenly there was a knock on the door so he stopped."Idiot!" he shouted.He adjusted the collar of his long sleeve and opened the bedroom door. His parents appeared in front of us. They were both smiling and I also smiled at them. I approached and gave respected in front of them.“Can we see our granddaughter? After a long day of work I want to relieve my stress," his father said with a smile."Of course, dad. Come in," I replied with a smile.When they entered the room, they immediately approached baby Yumi. Their faces showed joy of seeing their granddaughter, especially his father."You really are an inheritance from your father. You took a picture of his appearance when he was young," Elijah's father said with a smile.He kissed baby Darling's forehead and stroked her hair gently."H
"Don't misunderstand him, bess."Cheska said.I just sighed and tried to calm myself down. I hope he didn't hear what we talked about because I'm sure he'll be angry."Is your husband really that strict? My beautiful face was not even greeted," Cheska said."Just leave it, Bess. That's how Ransom is and I don't want to argue with him anymore. I know where I belong," I answered."You should know that you are his wife. That's your place with him!" Cheska told me firmly."I probably won't force myself on him anymore.I will just let him go and give him time to realize that this is the right thing," I answered.I saw Cheska sigh in front of me. I saw her shake at what I said and I know she felt my heart was heavy. But I still have to pretend that I'm okay. I don't want to be weak because I have to be strong for my daughter."It's better to turn your attention to something else. Talk to the maids here while you take care of the baby," she advised."We will go to the mall when I'm free so th
I just held my breath at what he said. What does he know about what's going on between Camilla and me?"It's hard to find a husband who will put up with your attitude," Samantha said with a smile.I don't know if I will be happy with what he said because I really have no intention of getting married. But why am I annoyed by what he is saying now?"Are you really teasing me?" I asked him with a frown."I'm not teasing you. I'm just telling the truth so I hope you take care of your wife," he answered me seriously before walking away from me.I just shook my head at what he said and I couldn't help but think. Why do I need to be careful? What is the value of that woman to me?As far as I know, I have never considered him as my wife. For me, he has no value. He only pushed himself and his child.Despite what my mind says, I don't know why I feel guilty. Why do I feel pain and affected?I took a deep breath and walked out of the company. I want to go home to rest. I'd better not think abou
Her heart skipped a beat as she caught sight of Elijah. The happiness that surged through him was palpable, but little did she know that Elijah felt the complete opposite. In his mind, it was too late to mend their broken family, as he believed Bailey had reconciled with her ex-boyfriend, John. Frustration consumed him, causing him to toss the flower he had brought aside before stepping inside."Elijah?" John exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief."Daddy!" the young boy exclaimed, rushing towards him."It's been a month since you left and came back to Canada. Why are you here? Is it another business trip?" Bailey asked, her words stumbling over each other."Uhmm, yeah. I just happened to pass by and thought of visiting. I missed him too much," he lied.Just then, John's phone rang, interrupting their conversation. It was his girlfriend calling. With a quick goodbye, John left, leaving Elijah surprised to learn about his father's new relationship. Their eyes met, and John smiled a
BAILEY'S POINT OF VIEW"I love you, Bailey." Time slowed down and I was surprised by the eyes looking at me. Brown eyes and thick eyebrows that are about to meet, it's like his eyes are absorbing me and don't want to let go."What?!" I asked him in disbelief.What is happening? he likes me?"I'm your admirer since the day I found you," Anthony answered me."You love me?!" It's hard to ask him while he still can't believe it. I asked him one more time and he nodded again.He still didn't deny it to me.I can't believe that he has become even more direct now.My eyes widened when I knew and my two eyes could see how serious he was while looking at me. His lips parted and let out a small smile."I want to be your boyfriend..." he stated while smiling and I saw his cheeks turn red.I couldn't answer him, and while looking at him, I couldn't think of how handsome Anthony was in front of me while his cheeks were red. But while I still can't get out of my mind what he said."I'm not ready fo
I put my bath towel on my shoulder and answered the call."Hello? Camilla? Am I interrupting you?" he immediately asked me."I didn't just finish talking to Andrea, what's wrong?" I answered Anthony on the other line."Can I talk to you for a moment? I'm sorry but could you come here? I'll text you the address and the name of the restaurant." he answered me.I was wondering because I have to go to where he is now, is there something ready?"Alright wait for me there in a few minutes," I answered him.He thanked me and hung up.I took a quick bath and get dressed also I quickly go to the restaurant he texted me. Wondering what he wants us to talk to that it will be in a restaurant. The taxi stopped in front of the restaurant and the first time I look at it, I knew that it will be an expensive one.From the transparent window, I saw Anthony waving at me, however, he wasn't alone. I saw another man next to him and smile politely.I took a deep breath and enter the restaurant.I knew I wa
I no longer struggle and it seems my body gives up. I let Anthony do what he did. It somehow reduces the weight I feel that I hide every night.My eyelids were slowly getting heavy and I didn't realize that I was asleep after Anthony stayed with me for a few hours.That I woke up early and came down with my hair tied in a messy bun while I was wearing only a loose t-shirt and short shorts.I yawned thinking my eyes were puffy from all that crying.When I went down the stairs and I was about to go to the kitchen, I stopped when I saw Anthony at the dining table while putting plates on the table.My face heated up thinking about what I did yesterday night.... So embarrassing, I can smell the dishes on the table. I can see his hair is still wet.Did he take a bath huh? He did all this work when he could just possibly ask the maids to take care of handling the plates. He is well dressed in the morning. "Anthony?" Anthony is strong. He quickly turned in my direction while holding a plate
He smile at me softly when two deep dimples in his cheeks showed. "Good afternoon Ma'am Camilla, I was waiting for you." a soft voice with a charm in it. The handsome young man in front of me. I admit that he is quite charming however I am confused. "I see that you are confused Ma'am, I am Anthony the caretaker of this mansion!" He added and looked at me straight in the eyes. I notice that this man had two brown pairs of eyes and long lashes. He lead me inside the mansion and I was fascinated by how gorgeous the mansion is." Sir Anthony.... " I called his name stopping my two feet. He stop and looked at me. "Ohh Ma'am Camilla, Sir is too formal. Just call me Anthony," he answered.Is he the one who help me to get home?Who is he?I cough, clearing my voice."Okay, Anthony!" I replied.I pressed my two palms to each other stamping my feet on the floor. I gather all my courage and smile at Anthony."Thank you so much Anthony for helping me," I added.I blinked twice when he didn't a

Doctors and nurses were trying to revive his father’s life. I was shocked and I can’t move and just cover up my mouth while crying at those times.I can’t believe it's happening and I can accept it. I know it was just a dream. It’s impossible to happen.But I saw the doctor shaking his head while facing his nurses.I looked at my mother-in-law who was crying and shouting in pain.I immediately hugged her so tight while crying.“I’m sorry, Mrs. Crosby. We did everything to save your husband’s life. But we have nothing to do anymore, “he said sadly.Suddenly my mother-in-law lose consciousness and fortunately, I catch her. They bring her to the other room and I really don’t know what to do. My mind was totally confused and shocked.I saw Ransom still hugging his father’s lifeless body while crying.I can’t help but cry while remembering all the kindness his father showed me.“Dad, please wake up. Please don’t leave me, “he begged while his tears fell from his eyes.“R..Ransom your mom,”
I witnessed something that I couldn't believe that it's happening, I can see how the guest applause for Ransom announcement to my child and he really did introduce my child?Did he really introduce Yumi as a billionaire child?I felt my stomach swirl and butterflies in my stomach. I can hear the guest cheering for Ransom and yelling baby Yumi's name.This isn't a dream right? I hope I'm not dreaming.Later on my name was called by Ransom father, I was surprised again that I saw a photographer in front and them waiting for me to join them. I'm standing next to Ransom him carrying Yumi and his parents behind us. "Smile Camilla..." I heard Ransom voice. I glance at him, checking if I was right and yet he wasn't paying attention to me. I ignore it when I saw him smiling. "One...two..." the photographer count and the camera shutter, the flash lit up and I smiled at the camera. We take a lot of pictures together and including baby Yumi. I was happy for taking family pictures with them.
BAILEY POVI was surprised to see him and we both stared at each other. This time his stares at me were so very different.He quickly went up the stairs to our room and I followed him. I wanted to explain to him and tell him that we were not gossiping about him. I called his name several times. But he did not listen to me until we both entered inside the room"Ransom!" I called his name again.He immediately faced me and frowned when he looked into my eyes. This man's behavior is really bad."What?!" he asked with a frown."If you think we are gossiping about you, you are wrong," I replied firmly."You don't need to explain," he said sparingly.I just sighed at what she said and he didn't speak anymore. He went straight to the Veranda and I just shook my head at what he did. I didn't really understand that man's attitude. But even so, I just let him go.I don't want to push myself because it's tiring that we always fight.I sat on the sofa and closed my eyes. I didn't realize that I fe
