"I'm the donor. I'm Type O," Nicholas was looking at me while saying those words. I was surprised to know that the reason why he rushed all the way here, was because he was willing to donate blood for Mama Lynette. I didn't expect that he would be kind to us like this. Honestly, ever since I experienced being rejected by William, and being bullied by his wife, Tessa, I almost thought that rich people were like that. They look down on people, and they think of themselves as superior to everyone. They don't care about other people's condition, as long as they could fulfill their selfish desires, they will continue using us. That's what was inside my head before listening to what Nicholas told me. With a stuttering voice, I asked him, "Are you sure about that?" "Vanessa, this is an emergency. I also don't have time to look for other donors, but myself. Why would I find others if I could donate on my own?" He asked while looking at me. I was speechless. I don't know what to say, but b
Mr. Hudson stared at me a few more seconds after what I said. "What did you say?" He asked again while looking at me. I looked straight into his eyes and gave him a serious expression. "I said, I'm ready to accept your offer." The Mendozas were being too much of what they did to me, and my family. First, they made me look like a person who doesn't deserve the best of life. Second, they snatched my chances in every company I try to apply to. Third, this one. They tried to take away the life of my mother. What more could it take for me to do my step? Seeing Mr. Hudson made me realize that this would be my chance to get back at the Mendozas for all the things they did to me. I know I've been a mistress, the other woman of a billionaire guy, but why do they think as if I was the only person who got involved with William? As far as I could remember, he had an affair with other women before I had my affair with him. For sure, he tried to hide their relationship from Tessa. It was just me
"Ms. Vanessa, I'm sorry but your mother died," The nurse said as soon as I answer the call. Everything instantly went blank after what she said. I was currently holding my drink when I heard what she said. Even though I got enough energy already since I ate and had some fresh air outside the hospital, I instantly felt weak. I looked at Nicholas. He was staring at me, and I could see that he was telling me something, but I don't understand what it was. Tears suddenly fell from my eyes while still holding my phone. I put down the phone weakly and didn't say another word. Nicholas gave me a confused look because of that. "Vanessa, what is it? Why are you crying?" He asked while looking at me in worry. "M... My mother... She died..." I said while stuttering. Nicholas immediately pulled me closer to him and hugged me. My head was leaning unto his shoulder while he was touching my back. I know that I was crying, but I don't have the strength to speak. My eyes were continuously crying,
As the rain starts, the priest sprinkled holy water on the top of my mother's coffin. Many people were surrounding the whole ceremony including our relatives. I contacted them as soon as I found out about my mother's death. Aunt Elizabeth panicked and rushed to my house after knowing what happened that very next day. I faced her all alone and didn't speak for a few seconds. She looked at me and just hugged me while crying. I could also feel that she was shocked to know the tragic news. "I'm sorry, Vanessa. I was not able to be with you during that time, but God knows how I mourn for my sister," She said with teary eyes as she looked at me. I just gave her a blank expression that time. She promised that she would help me process the papers for Mama Lynette's burial. The other things were secretly provided by Nicholas. He told me the last time we meet that he would help me, too. Now, I stand in front of my mother's coffin, staring at it for one last time. People started crying includi
I spent my day at the hospital after being bought by Nicholas since I had a fever from yesterday. The doctor also told me to rest first even though I also wanted to go home. I tried my best to leave, but the nurses of the hospital told me that Nicholas strictly told them not to let me. He even sent some food for me to eat. At first, I tried to ignore everything he sent for me, but the nurses tried their best to persuade me. I ate just a bit, but I ended up not finishing all of it. I remained lying in bed while staring at the ceiling. I can only hear the sound of the machine beside me, and the ticking of the clock. The nurses told me that Nicholas already left after sending me the things I need. Again, I'm alone in this suffocating place. The last time I got here was the time when I was still with Mama Lynette. But now, I'm here all alone without anyone to stay by my side. I stared at the ceiling and started thinking about random things. Am I going to be like this forever? Do I have t
After signing the agreement, I returned the paper to Nicholas who was smiling at me. He grabbed the paper from my hand and turned the pages of the agreement papers. "Have you read the things you need to do besides the changes you will undergo to? Those are important things, too," He said while looking at me. I instantly forgot about that because of the overflowing emotions in me. I wanted to officialize everything as soon as possible. "Looks like you haven't read it yet. I'll read it for you," He added. He cleared his throat and started reading everything. "Point 1: Be in a new identity where you could show yourself to people as a popular person excellent in business and artistry.Point 2: Gain the trust of the Mendozas.Point 3: Flirt with William Mendoza and make him fall for you, Point 4; Bring the Mendozas down." After reading all the things included in the agreement, he stopped and looked at me. "So, are you ready to do all those things?" He asked. "That's only four thing
The time we stayed at the hospital was a bit pressuring. I tried to listen to Nicholas and Dr. Melendez's conversation. They were really serious about their plans as if they already knew they would earn an excellent result. I also got to know who Dr. Melendez was. He also told me I should get used to his presence since he'll be my surgeon for the upcoming operation tomorrow and the following days to maintain my appearance. He's a very kind person. I felt comfortable dealing with him which I also think was very good. After a few hours of conversing with Dr. Melendez and familiarizing myself with what will happen for tomorrow, we finally decided to leave the hospital. Nicholas and I entered the car. I sighed while staring at the road when I realized that Nicholas was staring at me. So, I raised an eyebrow while looking at him. "What?" I asked. He smiled a bit and started the engine. "Do you want to go somewhere else first before we go back?" He asked. I looked at him confused about
After giving me a chance to be alone for a while when we visited the tombstones of my mother and son, we finally decided to leave the place. There were mixed emotions in me right now. The feeling of longing for the presence of my mother who is now lying dead under that cold ground. The feeling of bitterness of making me realize that I already lost two important people in my life just because of the Mendozas. And, there's a bit of happiness in me because Nicholas took care of the remains of my boy and managed to bury his body with my mother's. Now, he just gave me a complete inspiration of why I should continue and do this revenge against those people responsible for the death of my son, and my mother. I knew William had nothing to do with the accident I had when my son died. But, he's still responsible because he neglected us. He forgot that he still had a responsibility in the upbringing of my son. Now, I count on him to be blamed because of my loss. Hours passed, and just like what
VIENNA'S P.O.V. William took his last breath, and finally closed his eyes. I touched his face and tried to wake him up. I tap him and started shaking him even though I knew that he already gave me his last words. There was no sign of him coming back to us now. I knew it was all too late for me to say those forgiving words, but at least I told him everything he needed to know. It was very hurting. My wrath against him instantly faded away after I felt how sincere he was regarding his apology. "He loved you so much..."I turned to Tessa after she said those words. "Didn't you realize what you did?" I exclaimed after that while in tears. Tessa smiled bitterly. "I knew from the very start that I had no match of you, Vanessa. Even before that time I knew you were pregnant with William's child," She continued. "William couldn't get you out of his head. I knew that he loved you so much, but it was my love for him that kept me blinded about that. I struggled with fate, that there might
TESSA'S P.O.V.My eyes were swollen... My heart was breaking...My daughter is gone. She was the only reason why I could call myself a mother. The light in my dark world. What would I do now? I called William from prison even though my parents forbid me to do it. They also tried to bring me out of the morgue, but I don't want to. I wanted to stay beside my daughter even though I knew that there was no sign of her coming back to me. The doctors told me to leave the place since it won't be good for my health to stay in the room. So, I had no other choice but to leave and stay outside while crying. After a few moments, a police mobile parked in front of the entrance of the hospital. A cop went out from it, followed by William who was still hand-cuffed. They went inside the hospital, and while they were walking, my parents instantly looked at me in disbelief because they knew that I was the one who called and told William about our daughter's death. William's eyes were swollen, and he
VIENNA'S P.O.V. I paid for a visit from Vienna Cosmetics, and continuously, we were getting good reviews from our customers. As the CEO, I'm very proud of what I have right now. Starting from the dedicated people, and the flow of sales of every product we released. It was all so smooth, that even myself didn't understand where all these things came from, yet all I could say was those efforts we have exerted paid off. I just hope these things would continue, and even if there were times that there would be struggles, I just hope that I could handle them well.I drove back home since I still have one more responsible left at the mansion, and that is taking care of my baby boy, Lucas. Of course, I couldn't forget him as my top priority. When I entered the mansion, the maid came running to me in a panic which made me instantly confused about her actions. "What's wrong?" I instantly asked as soon as she came to me. "Miss Vienna, Sir William was arrested!" She exclaimed while looking at
TESSA'S P.O.V.Today, we agreed that we would let my daughter undergo the operation. No matter what the doctors told us, we insisted. I was desperate since I wanted her to live. The doctors told us already that she might not survive during the operation, but as a mother, I wanted her to. Regardless of what the doctors said, I spent money just for the health of my daughter. I didn't get anything from William or even ask him to give me anything. The last time we talked about our daughter, he didn't believe me. He ignored my cries for help. He thought I was lying all this time. He didn't know that I was dead serious about what was going on with our daughter. I tried to reach him again but looks like he blacklisted my account and number to his contacts. All I wanted was for him to be with us right now in this struggle, but up until now, he chose to be with another woman. I was crying all day long, every night, and every time I remembered how he neglected us. I don't understand why I ended
VIENNA'S P.O.V.After conversing with Nicholas the last time he visited me at my company, I was determined to let Lucas and him take the DNA Test secretly. William never had any idea about us seeing each other since I believe he would suspect us and surely be angry about it. From the moment he saw Nicholas at the party last time, he became too protective of me and Lucas. I don't know what was running inside his head, but I felt that his mood instantly changed when he saw Nicholas that night. But, after knowing the truth about William and Lucas' results, I instantly had an urge to give Nicholas a chance to prove himself. Besides, he also wanted to know the truth. A few days ago, Nicholas and I went to the laboratory to have a DNA Test. I brought something that Lucas was always using since I believe that it could be used to have the laboratory results. After that, the doctor told us to wait for three days. Meeting Nicholas secretly and doing those things was not that easy for me. I bel
TESSA'S P.O.V.I desperately called William out of my panic because my daughter was suddenly having seizures. We already called an ambulance and followed her there. I also called my parents to be with me since I don't know what would I do because of this sudden happening. At first, William was too stubborn to talk to me. Maybe because he got used of me always calling him, but this time is a serious matter. Our daughter needs him! He should be there at the hospital to see her. Regardless of how many rejections I got from calling, I finally received a good answer. His secretary told me that he would go to the hospital, he just needed the address to where he would go. I immediately gave thme everything that they needed for William to visit. While doing those things, I felt like I also pty myself. I pity my daughter, too. William is her father, but William made us feel like we are not important to him anymore. I still needed to beg for his attention, and he would only go just because som
WILLIAM'S P.O.V."Sir, Miss Tessa is on the phone," My secretary said as soon as he entered the room. I narrowed my eyes and looked at him after what he said. "Didn't I tell you that I don't want to entertain calls from the woman?" I asked while looking at him. After hearing those words from me, he nodded and told me that he would relay what I said to Tessa. Then, he left my office. I smirked and shook my head after that. I don't understand why Tessa still won't stop bothering me after all the things that happened between us. She kept calling me and begging for my attention. As far as I can remember, she signed the divorce papers already few months ago. We both agreed that we would never bother each other again, but look at what she was doing to me right now. She kept doing things that would make me disturbed. For the second time, my secretary knocked again. As soon as I saw him enter the room, I already knew that he would insist on the phone call from Tessa. So, I instantly tapp
VIENNA'S P.O.V.A few months have passed, and my son, Lucas, has already reached his 7th month from his birth. I have seen his growth during the months I have cared for him. I saw how handsome he would become in the future, and how many girls would be rooting for him. I tried my best to become the best mother that I could be. Even though I was too focused on him, I never forgot to manage Vienna Cosmetics very well. The company's performance was getting better and has kept receiving higher ratings than before. It was as if I didn't have any other priorities at the moment to the fact that, I was taking care of my seven-month-old child. Ever since I gave birth to our son, William continued giving his best to be the father to Lucas. He kept surprising me whenever he exerted effort for us. He always makes us his priority. As if he didn't want to leave my side. I cannot deny the fact that motherhood hit me that hard because of the changes that happened to me from pregnancy to childbirth.
NICHOLAS P.O.V."WELCOME BACK MASTER NICHOLAS!" The maids greeted as soon as I entered the mansion. I smiled at them after their greeting. It's been a while since I had decided to go to Europe. If I would try to remember the things that happened from the previous months, it all pushed me to decide to leave and stay there for a while. I was too broken-hearted from the events that happened during those times. I could have won them all if that woman stayed with me. If she never cheated on me. I could have won those struggles if only she was with me, but it was all too late for the both of us. During my stay in Europe, I tried to distract myself from all the things that I could do there. I tried to reconnect with my friends and colleagues there. I went to other places that would make me realize that there's more in life to discover. Before I went to Europe, I was blaming myself for the death of Sofia. I knew that the Mendozas had something to do about it, especially Tessa. I tried my b
