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
“Oh….my friend, our families are fucked up real bad but a word of advice, give him time. He will come to you willingly “While the two families were chatting happily, a sudden knock came through the door. Nora’s heart beat increased, every time she heard someone coming, she could only think about her baby being taken away and it tore her soul in to pieces.But this time round, she had a very bad feeling. She could feel it deep inside her soul.Brian opened the door only to see the police accompanied by a woman. They were looking serious and no nonsense.“Nora Jackson, we have a court order to take the girl named Maya Jackson. Please bring her out immediately.” The woman commanded with authority.“I am sorry but you got the wrong address. As you can see, we are only adults here and there are no kids. Please look at the neighbor’s house next door. They are the once who have four kids.” Nora said seriously. If by any chance they left , she would lock the door and won’t open it no matter
It has been days now without knowing whether Maya was alright. The poor girl was still recuperating and Aria didn’t even consider the fact. Nora was worried sick if she was eating or whether she was sleeping well.That girl never slept without a sweet cuddle from her.Aria and Ella knew about the lawsuit but they had confidence that they will get to keep the child as long as they kept on acting pitifully in front of the public. The day of the hearing arrived and both of the parties went to the court room. Nora had so many supporters, the court house was full of people even Andres’s grandfather came to show his support. He was arrogant and unscrupulous but he never wanted to go against an innocent kid.In the past few days, he had been following carefully on Nora’s life and he was impressed. He might have misjudged her in the beginning. He could now understand why his grandson was so caught up with her.Ann was there early, she knew that she was running out of time and that if she di
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
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
“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.
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
