Aella accepted her fate, and as she moved her things to the room Maggie had previously occupied, it reeked of alcohol and her harsh perfumes. Aella decided to clean up the space; that way she could liberate her mind, but it was futile.

The cleaning could not serve as a distraction for her; all she could think of was Damien.

She opened the mini-closet to set her things in; some of Maggie's clothes were still in it, so she removed them from the hangers and threw them away.

Damien's bedroom had a walk-in closet, but the room Aella was staying in did not have one.

After getting rid of everything Maggie left behind, Aella started arranging her things inside the closet.

Damien had asked her to leave the house, but she could not bring herself to do so. She knew Damien was angry, so she decided to stay back, hoping she would be able to pacify him.

After she was done with everything, she decided to visit the kitchen. She was hungry and exhausted, and although she did not have an appetite, she

    "Why will I lie to you, Aella? I am sorry. I knew the truth from the beginning, but I had no choice. Maggie threatened to report me to the police because I was dealing with drugs," Collins blurted out."What did you just say?" Aella asked.Collin's face fell in realization of what he had just said: "Are you dealing in drugs now, Collins? Do you know what it took from me to get you released from prison, and you are heading down that path again?" Aella asked, standing up in frustration.All she wished for was that all this was a dream, and she desperately prayed she could wake up from it."Aella, it is not like that. I promise you that I am done with that shit. This is not about me now; it's about Maggie. You need to let Damien know; she is doing everything to get to his bed and ruin your relationship," Collins replied."It has already been done, Collins; everything is over now; my relationship with Damien is over; Maggie won and I lost." Aella added sadly as tears rolled down her eyes

    Damien had left the house earlier; he was angry and a distraction, so he decided to stop by the office. He was irritated and annoyed at the same time.Damien battled internally; he was at himself and with Aella as well. He knew Aella was right, and he hated the fact that she was right. He saw the signs, but still, he never expected Maggie to stoop so low. He tried all he could, but he couldn't concentrate; all he could see was Aella's teary face, and all he could hear were her sobs.While Damien was fighting his demons, Marie was celebrating a feast downstairs in her office as she picked up one of the pictures sprawled all over her table. It was a picture of Jeremy holding Aella in her arms. From the angle the picture was taken, it almost looked like Jeremy was hugging Aella. Different pictures were taken from different angles yet portray the same thing.Coincidentally, Marie was at the same hotel where Jeremy had asked Aella to meet. She was surprised to see Aella with a strange man

    "This exactly is your problem, Damien. Tell me why you are blaming Aella for everything that happened. Can you imagine what she will be going through right now? Her mother tried to seduce her husband, and the husband blames her for it. Can't you see how ridiculous this sounds? You should be on her side comforting her; after all, you made her accept Maggie," Elena fired back."I just wanted her to have a mother; am I to be blamed for that as well?" Damien questioned."Look, you did the right thing; Maggie is the one at fault, not Aella. I understand how you feel, Damien, but I need you to know that I trust Aella, and you should do the same too. If she said she was at the hospital, you should believe her. You could also visit the hospital to verify that. And about seeing her childhood friend and not coming back that night, would you prefer she died on the road back to you to satisfy your pride?" Elena questioned."It's not a pride, Mother; I told her clearly not to go because she wasn't

    A woman approached the hospital reception, her sleek, tailored attire draped luxuriously over her slender frame, each piece meticulously chosen to exude sophistication.

With impeccable poise, she made heads turn discreetly, wanting to see who was there.Who is she? She looks so beautiful. She could hear the hushed voices of people in the background."Good afternoon. Please, may I visit Mrs. Thompson?" She asked softly, her voice as sweet as honey."Your name, please?" The nurse receptionist asked."Becky Saunders," the woman replied.The nurse went through that list of people allowed to visit Mrs. Thompson, and her name wasn't on the list."I am sorry, Madam, but your name doesn't appear on the list. You see, Mrs. Thompson Guardian and Mr. Damien had specific demands, and only certain people are allowed to see her," the nurse explained."Please, it's really urgent, and

    Mrs. Thompson begged her not to leave, but Becca was adamant and determined to leave with the baby. She told her everything her son did, but Mrs. Thompson did not believe her. Because Maggie had already poisoned her mind about Becca, she snatched the baby from Becca and threw her out of the house.Becca was devastated. She visited different non-governmental organizations to help her get her daughter back, but she was no one, with no money and nothing, so nobody helped her.

Mrs. Thompson, Maggie, and John were nowhere to be found, and all her efforts were in vain.Becca went crazy; she walked from streets to streets searching for them, but it was futile.

    "Collins, please do not say a thing anymore; this is between Damien and me," Aella cuts in as she walks out of the kitchen."Sister, I can't stand here and watch this man blame you for something you aren't responsible for," Collins fired back."Collins please…" Aella pleaded."No, let him talk. I want to hear the rubbish he has to utter. "Damien cuts in rudely.Collins was infuriated, and as he opened his mouth to say something, he met Aella's gaze, and a begging expression was written all over her face."I respect you, sister, but you need to tell Damien everything I just told you," Collins stated."I...""Get out of my house, Collins," Damien retorted, brewing in anger."Damien, please. He is my brother. You should treat him with respect," Aella countered."Says the woman that goes around sleeping with her childhood friend despite being married," Damien fired back. "What!"

    "Oh my goodness, Chanel just launched this bag, and you got it for me." Marie purred; she was sitting on Seth's legs, who had a smug grin on his face."Yes, baby, you deserve the very best. Go through everything. Is there anything you want? Did I miss anything?" Seth asked as he pulled the gift bags closer to Marie.Marie was elated. Ever since her path crossed with that of Seth, her life has changed. He showered her with gifts unconditionally, and everything she demanded, he gave.Marie went through the bags; all the items inside were designer and quality stuff."So Marie, tell me, what's the latest update? What do I need to know?" Seth asked softly.Marie stalled immediately. She had been collecting gifts and money from Seth in exchange for information from the company, but Marie couldn't bring herself to do it, not out of loyalty but out of greed. She still wanted Damien, and she felt like she had a chance with Damien now that his relationship with Aella was going to get Rocky due

She dreaded going to Seth's office these days; he was getting bolder with his touches, and it scared her. "It is inevitable; it does not matter how long I stand here; it is not going to change a thing," Emily thought to herself as she pushed the door open.When she walked into the office, Seth wasn't seated. She moved internally as she dropped the box on the table, ready to go, when the second door in the office opened, revealing Seth, who looked drunk. His shirt was open as he ran his hand through his hair. As soon as his gaze landed on Emily, he smirked, marching towards her with malicious i

    Aella was swept off her feet more than she could have imagined, but not by someone she had thought. She decided she was not going to think about Damien or anything that has to do with him, or literally anything that is tied to his being.She didn't want to think about it. as much as she knew this was the happiest she had ever been since they got married.The least she could do for herself now was to stop ruminating about the past, not when she was starting to come back to being herself. This was the gift to herself, and this was more like the best gift ever. She will stop thinking about him and focus more on understanding herself; she was planning to get a divorce sooner than later. She wanted to be totally free so she could start living again.She's sat in the car; it's a new hair and a her new self. As they rode across the city, she looked back at Blythe, who seemed to be very happy and seemed to be thinking of something that made him smile every second. She looked away from his fac

    Just the right amount of sauce to make him look like God's sent. She stared at Blythe, who just unconsciously did the cutest things. There were times he talked to himself, there were times he just glared out the window, or there were times where he just picked up the salon magazine and read it, and his expressions whenever he came across something controversial made him the perfect partner to give your work the gist.Blythe had taken the initiative to get Aella a snack after every hour at the salon he got her milkshakes and takeouts.“Here's some for you!” Blythe voiced handing over the takeout box to her.By this time she had just started to make her hair; she had first gotten into washing it and then styling it.“Thank you!” She smiled, and he walked back to his seat.“That's an intentional mannn!" The hairstylist teased her as Blythe fully walked away.Aella didn't know what to think, nor did she know what to say to the hairstylist.“He's just my friend!” Aella responded with a smi

    He paced back and forth as he struggled to keep to himself for the past three weeks—nothing from her—nothing to keep his feelings in check, not even her green light.It was every risky to go visit her in her workplace, as he appeared to be a potential threat to Damien, especially when Damien was the reason for this whole mess in the first place.He picked up his phone for the billionth time trying to place a call to her and explained things well enough to her. But he couldn't; he couldn't bring himself to explain the truth of the whole matter to her; that would not only end him; it would also end their whole family name and career. The way they had left things off, they knew Marie would probably see him as a bad person or worse, a monster that didn't deserve to live.Seth had always wished he wasn't born into the family he was born into, and quite true, he didn't like it there, but ever since he met Marie, he had wished more for that prayer to come to pass than ever before.He felt c

    "Well, I must say you look absolutely beautiful." Blythe complimented Aella as he opened the car door for her.Aella had never had alone time with Blythe before; spending the whole day with him felt so illegal, but she knew she had to leave her room at least once so she wouldn't rot away in misery.She had thought about it all so much that she didn't want to think about it anymore; she just wanted to start living life again.The life she had thought she could live with Damien, but it turns out that she couldn't.It's funny how the same life she craved for was the same life God had helped her package with her mom; she could live freely and not depend on anyone.For the first time, she smiled, and that smile was genuine.“And I must say you don't look bad yourself!”. Aella responded with a soft voice.Seeing her smile is his delight, and he wanted more of it to happen. He kicked the car to a start, and they started their little journey.Aella wasn't used to engaging in conversations wit

    Yes, maybe there were people out there who hurt you real bad, but you need to understand that they shouldn't make you stop loving; you just choose to love yourself enough to love them and not overlove them, so you know when to leave or when to live by grace, just like you would give yourself a voice when necessary.Aella had left Vollini and Becca in the living room to discuss while she just went to her roomma. DN just wallowed.She cuddled up in her bed and just stared out the window. She watched as the snow fell lightly; she could think of nothing else than just...Her baby…Damien was no longer on her mind; she couldn't really care less; he had done what he had to do, and he had done his worst already.If he cheated, it really wasn't any of her business; the only thing she blamed herself for was staying that long trying to take her power back.She sighed again, giving the fact that she had so many things planned out for herself and her baby.She looked down at her phone and realize

    Chapter 139“Just when you thought you had it all, there another shows up to be the worst."Collins paced back and forth in the living room of Becca's house as he wanted to tell Becca about how unruly Damien had been to his sister. Aella wasn't in the midst of all these; they had allowed her to be alone for a while in her room, which they made sure to check on her on a few occasions.“Does he ever think at all, like why is he being the animal that he delivered me from, why is he being like that forsaken dude called Seth?" Collins raged again.Truthfully, he hadn't known his sister's case until they got home from the hospital, and immediately he heard it took the strength in Becca to keep him grounded and not go to confront Damien.Collins had just arrived at the right time.Becca was instantly notified of how inseparable Collins and Aella are; she saw how much love they both have for each other, and she is more than willing to love them both.But she wondered who this sort of guy Coll

    Not all that glittered seems to be gold... But for Damien, his vomit seems to glitter like gold and looks like the most beautiful diamonds from the outside.As he dropped Aella in the hospital, he turned back and went back to work. He didn't bother to ask what happened to her or what might happen to her; he asked then if she was going to be fine, and they said definitely the rest if it was none of his business, but unfortunately enough, they told him as much as he didn't want to hear about everything the doctor called him as he got to the office.The doctor's call came through as he was about to enter his office. On getting into the office, he noticed that Amelia was no longer in the office, including her bag and all.
