Nora watched with horror, Maya was going to die. There was no saving her. Her time was up. She cried so emotionally while hugging Daniel” My baby, please don’t do this to me. We finally have the blood you needed. Hold on just a little, mommy is begging you to stay. Who will I hug the way I can only do with you, sweetie?”“Ssh….Ssh….she is going to be fine. The doctors are doing their level best, they know that if she dies, I am going to kill them.“ Daniel whispered in her ears but that also wasn’t enough to make her calm done.“No….can’t you see…she is leaving. What am I going to do without my Maya? Oh…my curly hair girl, did you know that I loved your hair. Please give me a sign that you are listening to me. We promised to be together forever. I am desperately begging you not to fail me, okay.”Robert looked at Nora’s sad face and felt tears on his eyes. Nora was an outstanding mother, why did he get mixed up with a vicious woman like Aria. His child was dying just because of that
Ten doctors hurriedly placed Maya back on the oxygen and measured her pulse. It was there but weak, talk about miracles. The doctors couldn’t believe what was happening, it was too real to be true.Nora only calmed down when she felt the familiar soothing voice “You are going to be fine. Our Maya is back and the doctors are working on saving her” Daniel whispered in her ears as he showered her with kissesShe lifted her face and searched his eyes” Did I hear you well? You said that Maya is still with us, right?”“I have never been serious in my life, if you don’t believe me, look at her room” Nora tuned and saw that Maya was breathing again. She breathed a sigh of relief and whispered” My baby came back to me.Oh….my God….I am sure that she intended on keeping her promise that we will be together for the rest of our lives.”Right at that moment, the doctors came out looking exhausted “Doctor Jackson, it has been a really tough Day but I am glad that the girl is in stable condition now
He hugged Nora and kissed her cheeks” Little sister, forgive me. I didn’t know that the kids were in danger. I would have come sooner. ““Brian, it seems that there is something illegal that you are doing. Why do you keep on disappearing? Is there something that you are hiding?” Nora asked and Brian seemed to be caught off guard. Why was everyone interested in his life? If it isn’t his parents then Nora.“What else can make a man disappear? Isn’t it obvious?” Daniel said with coldness, at long last he has found someone to take his frustrations on.“What are you insinuating? That I disappeared with a woman? Why do you like provoking me even when I don’t want issues with you? Have I ever interfered with your private life?” Brian asked.“If you don’t have a woman then you must be gay?” Right at that moment, he was anxious that he wasn’t thinking straight. Seeing Brian somehow made things explode. “Daniel…..behave yourself. Have you forgotten the near death experience that Maya had?
“I am asking myself too why I am sitting in this table talking to my worst enemy. Did I lose my mind or what? What we should be doing here is fighting so that we can see who is stronger than the other “Brian answered. “Brian, we are adults and for that matter respected people in the city. We don’t need to fight, I have thought about it and I think that Nora won’t approve of it. I don’t want her getting angry with me because I might end up losing her again. Right now, she is very easily offended because of what happened to the kids. Maya is the center of her universe.” Brian didn’t understand him at all. Why was he developing cold feet all of a sudden. Was Nora that important to him?“I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time so that I can break your face. If we can’t fight then what are we doing here? “He asked while continuing to drown his drink.“We can drink and reflect on the good old times” Daniel suggested.“I don’t want to remember it, I was your friend Daniel
“I am sorry……please forgive me. I never should have pushed you “Daniel, you were drunk and I thought that if I told you what I knew, you wouldn’t have believed me . But I saw it with my own two eyes. It was Aria who pushed Brian in to the ocean and then told you that you did it by accident. Naturally because you doted on her, you accepted it. She took advantage that you were intoxicated and that you wouldn’t realize it.“Idiot … And you are telling me now? Why didn’t you speak up earlier? All this animosity would have been avoided” Daniel glared at him with icy eyes.“Come on man, I would have been even a bigger idiot to speak up. Would you have believed me? Aria had you under her spell. You practically worshiped the ground that she walked on. Now tell me, if you were me. What would you have done?Daniel raised his hands in surrender” You are right, I wouldn’t have listened to you.”“Thank you!” Edward exclaimed.“Edward, now I know that you have never liked me. All this years, I hav
Just as she was about to sit down, the gang came in. She didn’t call for them and she didn’t know who gave them the permission to visit Maya in the hospital. The last thing she wanted was for them seeing their sister in a critical condition. “Mommy….”Dave called.“Maya…..”Elena called with tears in her eyes while heading to her bed.” We have been so worried about our little sister. It has been so lonely without you at home after we all left you alone in the hospital. We should have waited for you to wake up. Oh…..Mommy, we feel so guilty and we couldn’t eat or sleep seeing her empty bed and seat. ““Sweet Mommy, we had to come and see Maya. Please don’t be mad at us, you are the only person who we don’t like to piss off. We had a feeling that the adults were hiding something from us. When it comes to you and Daddy, you have been so selfish with providing us with the information that we need. “Dylan complained for the sake of his siblings.“Talking about Daddy, Where did he go?” Dave
“I didn’t hear you well” Dave muttered “what you are trying to say is that Aria is our aunt and that we are related to her by blood”“How? Please explain to us well.” Dylan added.“Oh….I feel that I am going to faint. Did the woman who just harassed me all my life my aunt? There must be a mistake somewhere” Elena wasn’t impressed at all.“Yes Sweetie, the most surprising thing is that I am the one who is related to her .She is my cousin and therefore Winnie is also our relative. Your grandmother and her mother are sisters, so I hope that you have understood my point .Can you give her time to meet you? You will see that she is not like Aria. If she was, she wouldn’t have stayed quite. She would have already yelled at the three of you.”“You are right on that fact. Aria has colder eyes but Winnie has soft and kind affectionate eyes.” Dylan noted as he looked at her beautiful eyes. But he couldn’t let her off the hook yet, it might be just Aria playing dumb with them.“Can I look at your
“Let us carry her and throw her in to the ocean, tit for tat is a fair game. “ Edward the most reasonable one suggested. Sometimes, he knew that he was an imbecile after getting drunk.“No one is touching her. Don’t you dare lay your hands on her “Daniel warned and the group stared at him with questions in their eyes. They didn’t understand him at all.“I understand that you are drunk but this is not up to you to decide. I want to show this woman that she messed with the wrong man. Only then can I be able to move on and love another woman .Can’t you for once take my side? “Brian glared at him with hate.“What the hell man, after the long discussion we have had. Do you still love her?” Edward frown his face looking at Daniel darkly.“No……No……No……. you didn’t get me well……I…..meant…..Before he could continue to explain, the woman talked. It has become a trend for people to mistake her every time she meets people acquainted to Aria and she was used to it by now.“Guys, don’t confuse me
“I want to breathe some fresh air. I deserve it after suffering for that long. It is not that I am celebrating but Aria did some awful things to the both of us. Do you think that she will ever find peace? “Nora asked thoughtfully.Upon looking at how concerned she was with someone who hurt her in the past, Daniel couldn’t help but fall in love with her even more.He kissed her cheeks tenderly and hugged her tight on his bare chest. At that exact time, he got to remember that from today onwards, she won’t be telling him to jump over the balcony. She will be legally his soon.“If you ask me, I am only concerned about you. Aria should choose whether to be at peace or to rot in hell, I won’t care. What I am interested in is the wellbeing of you and my kids. I am sorry but I need to be bias. This time round, I will not give a damn about someone who wasn’t part of my family”“Oh…..you are acting cute again. I think that we should talk to the kids so that Maya knows that we will always be by
“You silly boy, you used to have a sweet tooth. I know that we have more years to celebrate and take care of each other. What do you think Brian?” Leah asked him sarcastically.If his mother was trying to piss him off, then she had succeeded. Would it have cost her to treat him tenderly the way that she was doing with Daniel? Oh….in the end it was all about the marriage thing. When will she ever leave him the hell alone? All the headaches and hatred started with a woman and he still wasn’t ready to start a relationship at the moment. Why can’t she understand him?“Why is this jerk being treated like the actual son here? Daniel, you have your own mother. Why are you stealing mine” Brian complained bitterly.“You are not my son until you bring a wife to me. This matter is final. There will be no kisses or hugs for you”“Mommy….but can I get even a little hug?” he asked.“No….just make sure that you bring her to me and you will get as many as you want “she insisted and Brian gave up.“
Looking at the man before her, she knew that there was no way to avoid him. “Yes…..I accept. I have realized that I will never get you out of my life. I got stuck with you from the very first day that I laid my eyes on you. After everything said and done, I think that I don’t have any choice. “Daniel was startled for a moment, this was not exactly what he had expected but all the same he was up for it. Walking closer to her , he lifted his hands and cupped her chin so that she would have no choice but to look inside his eyes.If Nora was bluffing, he would know. What he saw warmed his heart. Indeed, his woman was genuinely speaking from the heart. “Jokes aside, are you really telling me this or am I dreaming?”She wrapped her hands around his neck and then whispered in his ears “I have never been serious in my life. I think that the kids will be happy and I can’t wait to see their reaction. If it weren’t for them, I am sure that I would have never forgiven you. Come on, let us go
They have faced so many challenges together and yet Daniel had managed to stick with her. Even though she thought that she will stop loving him, she couldn’t teach her heart to stop. Each and every passing day, her love for him deepened. Perhaps, it was the right time to finally put things to rest.Daniel covered her mouth with along sensual kiss and she didn’t pull away. As before, she was still as sexy as hell. Dressed in a black shiny dress, she was simply gorgeous. “All I really wish for is to have you like this every day of my life. “He whispered in to her ears. At that moment she didn’t care about what he was insinuating but what was important was the man and what he was making her feel.“What should I do to you today?” he asked with a husky voice.“Touch me and kiss me like it was your last. Right now, I don’t want to think about my life, career or kids. I just want it all to be me and no one else.” she replied.Daniel sighed with a relief” Great answer……….for a moment there,
“I will see the two of you around then. Ann, let us go to that date that you promised me but there has been a change of plan. I don’t need to meet another woman. I have already met you and I like you”Ann was overwhelmed, clearly she didn’t expect him to confess this soon. He was like her impossible love and having him was the best thing ever. ““Come on, Can’t you say something?”“Really……I am the happiest woman on earth because the man that I have been waiting for is finally having interest on me. I love you.”“I love you too. Oh…..Did I just say that? I must be crazy.”Maya couldn’t prevent her tears, the moment she saw her parents. She ran as fast as she could and jumped in to Nora’s waiting arms. “Daddy ……Mommy, I knew that you were coming. I have been waiting for far too long. I promise that I have been a good girl, I didn’t cry much. “As she was talking, she realized that Aria wasn’t around. Upon looking at Ella’s guilty face, she said” Did you finally realize how evil she
It looks like Ella has finally matured up. Being betrayed by your own blood was something that was hard to take.“I have already forgiven you mother, I just wanted to meet the two of you in person to get some closure in my life. Mother, I believe that it is never too late to change. You should forget about what happened in the past so that you can start all over.”Winnie’s eyes were full of affection, Ella has never experienced this sort of emotion with Aria. She lifted her hands and caressed Ella’s cheeks before continuing to talk” you weren’t a bad person, going to jail is what changed you “Tears flowed on Ella’s face as he embraced her long lost daughter.” Oh……Honey, you have a good heart and I think that I am going to listen to you. I am tired of being labeled as the criminal. Honestly, I did everything to survive” “Should I call you the prodigal daughter? “ Aria sneered as he stared at her twin sister.“Aria, you were lucky to have a mother to take care of you yet you took her
“Order in the court. You have to concentrate on the matter at hand. If you have other issues, you should take them to another court “the judge instructed sternly. “I agree, but I have one last thing to tell this court “Robert said and then hesitated. Aria was going to know who he is today. If she thought that she would just kill him like that then she was wrong.“I know a secret that no one else here knows. Aria, you told me about it yourself that you were the one who killed old Mr. Wilson and then blamed it on your mother. You were the one who made your mother go to prison while you stayed back to enjoy your life”“What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Aria is my baby and she loves me. She will never frame me for murder. I have sacrificed everything for her. Isn’t that right, darling? You can never hurt your mother for anything in this world.”Aria just looked at her mother emotionlessly. Even if she pretended, the guilt was all written on her eyes. It already gave her away.
As if it wasn’t enough that Lucy have rejected him again, his stupid grandson was analyzing him. The thing that hurt him the most was that he was telling the truth. What a pathetic life?“Leave me alone, for crying out loud. “He snarled and then curved his mouth cheekily “Hey …grandson, are you interested in that lawyer? I think that she is cute. Go and pursue her and stop bothering me.”Andres face turned dark. Was it that obvious?He didn’t say anything .Even if he wanted to, he didn’t know what to say . He had thought that he will never get over Nora. Hurriedly, he left the court house. This was something that she needed to reflex on carefully.Daniel stared at the pair with an icy expression then held Nora’s hands” let us go we have better things to do. “Maya felt her eyes wet with tears but she had promised her family that she won’t shed any tear. She had to be strong. Her mother once told her that if she acted weak then someone will bully her. While she was hiding in her little
She hesitated and wiped her tears.” I need to say that I want the best for Maya and Aria is not a person that she can depend on, that is all that I have to say”“You bitch, who paid you to slander my name? Was it Nora? I never left my child. You watched me breastfed her. Why are you lying? Please go back to the stand and tell the truth “Aria started shouting hysterically.“Order in court. Counselor, please advise your client to keep quiet or I will throw her out of this court. She should also refrain from using abusive words. It is not allowed in my court.” The judge warned“Aria, please calm down. Will you?” the lawyer advised.The Judge looked at his watch and then announced” the proceeding for today is closed, we will continue with the defendant witness tomorrow”“Daniel, I am not even here completely. My mind keeps on wandering to Maya.” Nora confessed.“I know and I am trying to be the best that I can at this time. I want you to have her legally because if it were my choice I w
