Daniel caressed her hair “‘don’t worry, I locked the door this time round and if things get worst, I can jump over the balcony. No one will even realize that I was there. But if it was that jerk of my friend, I will knock his head.” He said cockily.“Really….you have such a good idea, honey .Go ahead and jump over the balcony right this moment and leave me alone. ” Daniel felt that his mood has darkened. After spending such an interesting night, the woman was going to just send him away like that . Why did he even come up with that suggestion?“You are such a cheeky woman. You have used me and now that you don’t want me anymore, you want to send me away like a thief. I am not going anywhere because I have changed my mind. I think that I am going to stay and eat breakfast with the family. Thank you so much for agreeing in advance”“Daniel….no one should know that you were here. Can you just go…..please? Listen, if you go , I will repay you with anything that you want “ she offered.
But that was a wrong assumption because unexpected people came bearing the worst news ever.Pam came back in to the dining room looking panicky.“ma’am, there is a guest here to see you” she started to say but avoided telling Nora the visitor’s identity.“Pam, I have always told you to ask first before allowing a stranger in to the house. Did you by any chance ask for their name?”Suddenly a familiar figure appeared in to their midst looking as defiant as ever. Nora turned cold immediately on seeing her disgusting face. How dare she come in to her house after everything? What the hell did she have to do to send her away once and for all?“I am not a stranger, Nora. I have come to claim what is mine. ”Aria stood holding some papers on her hands. Nora didn’t care to guess what they were about.Daniel who was so focused on feeding Maya, suddenly looked at Aria impatiently. His face brought out an aura of danger as he glanced at the two women standing in front of them. “Yes …we have thou
He wanted to figure out the right way to deal with this issue before it gets out of hand. But he knew that it will get a little complicated if Aria went to court. He could mess with anything in this world but not the court.“Yes….look at them” Aria threw the papers on the table and Nora looked at them with wide opened eyes. To her surprise Aria had gone to the court claiming that her kid was kidnaped and later on was taken to an orphanage. It stated in the letter clearly that Aria has been searching for her for over five years and now that she knew where she was, she wanted her custody.All evidence was there. Even though Nora noticed that they were fake, what caught her attention was that the court granted Aria custody even without involving her. Sometimes, the law bends too much on one side without other important considerations. On the eyes on of the court, they only considered that Aria was the biological mother who has been suffering for years after she brought out the paterni
Rushing in to the house, Brian was in a hurry. On his way to work, he had realized that he had forgotten his phone in the house. How careless could he be this early in the morning?Anyway, a phone in this era was the most important garget and he couldn’t foresee himself surviving the whole day without it. He won’t be able to what apps his friends or may be do a video call.Holding the door knob, he twisted it and opened the door expecting to see the family still in the dining room” Nora, I know that I am the last person that you want to see this morning but I am sorry to bother you again. Have you seen my phone?”No one answered and that was when he realized that there was something amiss somewhere. Upon lifting his face, they became dark almost immediately. This was the first time he was actually meeting Aria after the confession and he couldn’t control himself. He was doing everything possible not to explode. Since he found out about the fact, he had been thinking of what he woul
“Mommy, don’t bother me. I only manipulated the situation. You should already know this by now. Anyway, I am not worried about him. He can never do anything to me. Instead, let us focus on the main agenda. You have some police friends, let us bribe them so that they can bring Maya to us. What do you think?” “You have a very good idea. I will work on it immediately. That useless Brian Landon is just but a small ant “Ella smiled evilly.“Mommy, while you are working on that, I need to hype the citizens. By the time I am done telling my side of the story on my social media accounts, all of them will be on my side. After all, the biological mother will always win. I need the whole country to know that the child that Nora is so attached to is mine and that I never knew of her existence.”“Great ……why do I have the feeling that we are alike? We are both evil and fearless.” Ella asked.“We are not alike, mom. There is a saying that state that don’t judge a book by its cover . I am worse tha
Could it be possible that he could give his heart to someone else? May be someone like Ann? She is beautiful , successful and understanding. She would make a very good wife, the kind that he deserves after suffering heartbreak. No….No……No…… he swore that as long as he won’t be able to have Nora then he would stay celibate. There was no any other woman in this world who could match her. Right at that moment, his phone rang bringing him out of his reverie. He stared at it lazily, the person he least expected was calling. His face creased immediately with rage. How many times did he have to tell her that he was never interested in her? “What now, Clara? I have told you that I am busy. Can’t you find yourself another man to bother?” His voice sounded so impatient. He just didn’t know how to get rid of Clara. There were so many times that he had ignored her calls but she still insisted on calling. “Andres, I have been waiting for you to call me for almost a week but you haven’t. I a
He hung up the phone and Nora looked at him with wide opened eyes. If she thought that the thug here was Daniel then Brian was even worst. No wonder the two of them were friends. They were a like in every way possible. As the saying goes, birds of the same feather flock together.While Nora was looking at them with fire in her eyes, Daniel was busy congratulating Brian. They looked like a couple of adolescence boys and the funniest thing was that she could do nothing about it. “Very good, Brian. You learned well from the best teacher. Now let us sit and wait for our extinguished guest.““You people are mad. I am just going to tell you that if things go wrong, I am not a part of this. Count me out. “Nora warned and stormed out of the room.“Don’t worry about her, she will thank us later “Brian laughed.“Hey man, you know you sisters. She won’t forgive me, so I have to be worried . What if she gets angry with me and chase me out?“ “What! Please don’t be such a stupid man , aren’t yo
“Mr. Wilson, if you care to know. I am here for the sake of Maya and that woman you are holding hostage is my lawyer. I have hired her to defend Maya. So tell me, did I come to seduce Nora? I have accepted my fate that she is never going to look at me more than a friend and I am at peace with it ““A friend my foot…” Brian grumbled. In the past he never like Daniel for Nora but Andres was the worst. He thought that if Nora were to marry him, she would be the unhappiest woman on earth.Nora looked at him with admiration, she could not love him but Andres was more sensible than the two men combined. He preferred to negotiate with the lawyer in a decent manner than to force her like Daniel and Brian were doing.“Andres, thank you so much for being thoughtful” she appreciated the man.“It is nothing. I wanted to show you that despite what happened between us, we can still be friends the same way we used to be in college. I couldn’t bear to lose you.”In order to break the uncomfortable
“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
