Hello, Dear Readers. Are there any mothers here? What would you do if you were in Stacy's shoes? Do you think she is right for wanting to protect her son? Please, let's hear your contributions.💜
Harriet brought the kids and joined Damien, who was waiting for her. She couldn’t believe that Stacy would be so biased. She loved her as a mother, but after seeing her side with Adrian, even after everything he had done, it made her question her relationship with both her and the kids. The last thing Harriet wanted was for Stacy to teach her children to defend criminals.She was sure of one thing. She didn’t want her children anywhere close to her. She could trust her anymore, and she could wake up one day and let Adrian back into the house while her children were there.“I’m sorry, mother, but this will be the last time you see our kids until Adrian is caught.” Damien said, as though he read Harriet’s mind. Stacy stared at him with wide eyes, obviously not happy with his decision.“You cannot stop me from being with my grandchildren! It’s their birthday this week! I have to be there!” She said in a shaky voice.Stacy might have been blind to Adrian’s actions but, she loved her grand
Since Stacy got the message from the unknown number late in the night, Thomas could not do anything but wait until it was morning before letting Damien know about it and also taking matters into his own hands. He and Stacy spent the night in each other’s arms as he kept trying to calm her down. Her temperature had gone up, and she was sweating profusely. The news had shocked her so much but all she could do was pray that her son survived.“What do you think happened to him? He was fine the last time we spoke.” She asked her husband, who also had no idea how their son was suddenly in a hospital bed.“It doesn’t look like he was involved in an accident. I’m guessing he got shot.” Thomas said, looking at the picture that was sent to Stacy.“But, who would do that to him?” Stacy asked in a shaky voice with her head laid on her husband’s chest.“I don’t know, my love. You should get some rest.” He said, dismissing the topic.Thomas wasn’t stupid. He knew that something had transpired betw
Evelyn finished with her late breakfast and went into Adrian’s room to check up on him. She didn’t know why she still bothered checking on him when he had been the same for days. No real progress had been made with his health, and he wasn’t even showing any signs of recovering.It was driving her crazy. Another thing that bothered her was the fact that Stacey had ignored her text. She didn’t even send a single reply. Evelyn almost thought she didn’t see the text but, it ticked twice, which meant that she had even opened the picture.‘Does she not care about her son anymore?” Evelyn wondered. She desperately needed the money to fly out of the country. If Adrian wakes up, she would no longer need to worry about anything as he would do the thinking. But, since he was half-dead, she had to take matters into her own hands. Her plan was to blackmail Stacy into sending her some money, so she could leave the country. She didn’t mind leaving Adrian in the house. He was already dead, so there
Damien took Adrian to the hospital, so he could receive proper treatment. As soon as he arrived, he called his father.“We’re at the hospital now, dad. He hasn’t woken up, but the doctor says that he will in a few hours.” Damien informed his father and he heard the man sigh in relief. After seeing the picture Evelyn sent, he feared that Adrian would not make it.“I’ll come with your mother. She has been restless since she woke up.” Thomas said, and Damien nodded before hanging up.He went into Adrian’s room one last time to check on him before leaving for the warehouse Dante was taking Evelyn to. He knew it was illegal, but he needed answers and that was the only way to get those answers.As he entered his car, his phone rang and an unknown number appeared on the screen. After much hesitation, he decided to pick the call.“Damien, It’s Tony.” The familiar voice said. “I guess you might have forgotten about everything going on but, you were supposed to send me the address of where you
Stacy didn’t wait for the car engine to turn off before running into the hospital. She had been trying to stay calm all through the ride but, as soon as the hospital building came into view, she felt her anxiety return.“Stacy! Wait!” Thomas tried to call her, but she closed the door before he could finish and ran into the hospital.“A-drian Daniels. Where is he?” She asked the receptionist with a shaky voice. “Mrs Daniels!” The receptionist recognized her immediately and bowed slightly. But, Stacy was in no mood for greetings.“Where is my son?” She asked again, raising her voice this time.“Y-yes. He’s in the VIP ward. Ward 4.” The receptionist said, sighting her husband, Thomas Daniels, behind her.As soon as the words left her lips, Stacy took off like a mad woman, searching for his room. Without searching for long, the ward came into view and she went in.“Oh, Adrian.” Tears started flowing from her eyes as she stared at her son lying on the bed with oxygen connected to him.“Wha
“You can’t fire me, Miss Edward. You have no proof against me. All you have been doing is laying false accusations on me. You can’t prove that I am responsible for that article.” Alexa said with a confident look on her face. She expected Harriet to suspect her but what she didn’t expect was for her to actually fire her. As far as she was concerned, Harriet had no power to do that. Especially since she works for the chairman directly.“I figured you’d say that.” Harriet smirked and pulled out her hands to Collin, who immediately gave her his own tablet.“I must commend your efforts, Alexa. You did an excellent job at hiding your tracks. But, it wasn’t good enough,” Harriet said, and showed everyone the evidence. They had tracked down the IP address and, as expected, it corresponded with hers.“Leave, Alexa.” Harriet said and stood to her feet. “The next person who tries this will be faced with a bigger punishment. That’s all for today’s meeting.” She said as she walked out of the mee
Damien arrived at the hospital only to see his mother sitting outside Adrian’s room, soaked in her own tears. Even though he was furious with her, he couldn’t ignore the ache in his heart as he saw her in such a state.“D-damien?” Stacy called out as soon as she saw him. To say that she was ashamed of herself would be an understatement. Not only had she supported Adrian’s wrongdoings, she also neglected her elder son. She felt responsible for Adrian’s behavior. Maybe if she hadn’t pampered him so much, he wouldn’t have come out that way. “God! I can’t even look at you.” She whispered, lowering her head into her palm as she continued crying.“Why aren’t you inside, Mum? Is everything okay?” Damien asks in a cold tone. He didn’t want to forgive her so easily because she had deeply hurt him with her actions.Stacy sensed his distant behavior and she ached even more.“Can you ever forgive me, my boy?” She finally summoned the courage to ask, looking at him with teary eyes. “I never knew
It took Damien less than three hours to find Adrian’s lawyer. The man had fled to his vacation home, leaving his wife and children in New York. He must have known that Adrian was in trouble, seeing as he took every single document from the house before fleeing. But, he wasn’t smart enough to clean his tracks properly.Damien didn’t want to fly out to get him since his vacation home was in Mexico. He didn’t want to leave the country with everything that was happening. Even though Adrian had been arrested, he didn’t want to take his chances and leave his family alone. So, he sent Dante and his men instead. Damien was still at the hospital when he made the calls. He had sent his mother home a few minutes ago but couldn’t leave himself as he needed to make sure that he was making some progress.When he finally decided to leave, he checked his time, only to realize that it was already a few minutes to nine. Immediately, his phone rang. It was a call from Harriet.“Hey.” Her soft voice h
