Alex ran as fast as he could into the bar the moment he stepped down from his car. His heart was beating so hard and fast, but he didn't stop running because he was worried.As soon as he got in, he met her seated on the seat close to the counter. He walked closer and found out she wasn't drunk but instead, her eyes were swollen."Stella." He called her name and she cocked her head towards his direction. Once Stella saw him, she rose up on her feet, walked towards him and hugged him tight even to his surprise. He could only stand and wait for her to say something.She had called him earlier and was crying on the phone. She needed someone to talk to, so he was here for her. Alex was going to pretend he had no idea why she was this way, but he knew why.She finally took her hands away from his waste. "I'm sorry." She said sniffling. "It's fine. Are you alright?"She nodded her head at first, but the next second, she shook her head in negation, and said. "No, no, I'm not okay, Alex. I j
"T.. Taylor, please." Bryan tried to say but Taylor wasn't going to give him a listening ear. She didn't want to see his face so she hurried into the car as soon as her kids got in.She was scared of the fact that Bryan might want to take her babies away since she thought of him as heartless."Take us back home." Taylor demanded the chauffeur who ignited the car and drove away." As the car turned around, her eyes met with that of Bryan. For years, Taylor had not seen those eyes, and seeing them again made her recall old memories that she didn't want to recollect. He was happy now, and she deserved to be happy as well.She winded up the glass and stopped looking at him.As the car continued moving, Taylor couldn't hold back her tears. Why the hell did she have to meet Bryan. The pains of the past that she wanted to leave behind for the rest of her life suddenly came back.She felt hurt especially when she saw the pictures of Bryan and Stella sleeping together. It was better she never
Taylor and Talia waited outside receiving the guests who had come for her father's burial to pay their last respect. Most of them especially the ladies would stop and pat her shoulders gently.Taylor was certain of one thing, her father was a good man and he had built a great foundation and legacy. She was going to continue from there with Talia who was now like a sister to her."I'm so sorry Taylor, please take heart. No pressure, you can return back when you're fully alright."Taylor lowered her head in appreciation. "Thank you so much Mrs Watson. Do say Hi your husband and lovely kids on my behalf."The lady chuckled. "Oh, I will. Thank you." She walked away."Do you really trust that lady? She certainly had eyes on your dad when your mom was still alive. She literally wanted to become your step mom after she died."Taylor shrugged."So eweeeeeee. I trust my dad, he would never have done such a thing."Thus made Talia chuckle. "I left my babies at home with a nanny. I miss them so
Alex was certain that Bryan wasn't going to come. Because of Stella, he didn't go to pay his last respect to Taylor's father even though she was his friend.Stella was still in the hospital expecting Bryan to come, but when evening came and he still wasn't here, she fell asleep while crying.Alex couldn't watch it. It hurt him everytime she did something like that, so he left the room for her. After staying outside and getting worried, he decided to go in to check up on her only for him to meet her asleep with dried tears on her face.He touched her face and slept beside her while holding her hands. He was always the one there for her, but she always fails to realize it.A few hours later, Stella woke up first to see Alexander right beside her. In her dream, she had felt someone touch her face and it reminded her of the times Bryan always touched her face. She also felt him clean her tears and hold her hands. She didn't want to open up her eyes for fear of it ending.Stella wanted to
After cleaning the tears on her face, Taylor turned around to face her children.She held Kylie's hands. "Baby, mommy's heard your wish, and she'll do everything to make it come true okay." She said, and hugged her daughter.Talia came down the stairs. The kids all greeted her and she pecked them one after the other. "We're late Taylor.""Nanny, we're leaving now, take care of the kids okay." Taylor said and waved her kids goodbye as she walked out of the house. When they got to the car, she buried her head on the wheels. "Are you alright?" Talia questioned, but Talia shook her head in negation."I'm not okay. Do you think I'm depriving my kids of the right to see their dad?""Taylor, you're doing what is best for them, and for yourself. We'll talk about this after the meeting, okay?"Taylor ignited the engine and immediately drove the car out of the house. A few minutes later, they were finally at the company. The next few months of her life would be so busy and hectic with work bec
Taylor's legs were still rooted to the floor as she was staring at Nathan. He took recognized her and smiled widely at her, and when Bryan noticed this, his face turned red with anger He had no idea what was going on, but he fucking didn't like it as well.They both knew each other and that was making him feel so insecure. No wonder he felt this way, the first time he saw Nathan.Though Talia was too shocked to see Bryan, she didn't let it get to her for too long."Taylor.." Talia called, and Taylor instantly returned back to jrt senses. "Oh, good morning everyone." Taylor greeted and took her seat. Her gaze left that of Bryan and focused on Nathan which was clearly making Bryan so upset. He had no idea who the guy was, but judging by the looks, any lady could easily fall for him. Talia too was surprised. The handsome stranger sitting beside her knew Taylor. She tried hard not to stare at him multiple times, but it was just impossible.Now that she was single, this gentleman sittin
CHAPTER 27"Okay, Taylor, who's the cutie?" Hearing Talia squeak and ask her this question so many times made Taylor uncomfortable because she had told Talia multiple times that he was a friend she met a few years ago."Nope. It didn't look that way in your eyes. I mean, I could see happiness in those sad eyes of yours when he waved at you.""Talia, I'm in no mood for jokes right now. A lot is bothering me and I don't want talk about him.'"It's Bryan again, isn't it?"Taylor heaved deeply. When was she ever going to stop thinking about Bryan and get over him completely. Was it still so hard to do so?"If you really wanna forget about him, then why don't you invite another person to your heart.""I don't know Talia, I'm just really confused."Taylor continued, "Nathan doesn't even know I have kids, and I bet he's gonna run from me if he does." Taylor suddenly recalled something and picked her phone from her handbag. She's turned the car around."What's wrong?""My kids school. I alm
"So tell me, how have you been, Taylor?" The kids were with Talia. Taylor had made everything clear to Kylie that Nathan wasn't her dad. It was fucking hard disappointing her daughter but she didn't want to put Nathan in an uncomfortable condition."Aren't you gonna ask?" Taylor said, tucking her hands into her pocket. She couldn't even look him in the eyes."Not when you don't wanna talk about it." He replied.She heaved deeply and halted."What are you doing here?""Came to watch some kids play, and I found yours."She chuckled a bit. This was the very first time Taylor was seeing a man so different. Nathan was smart, kind, caring, and handsome.He was everything she wished Bryan would have been, or even more. Even when he had no idea who she was, he risked his life to save her.She was never going to forget the words he said to her the second time they met. Those words held her so strong for four years.She really believed it was time to talk to Nathan because he really had many qu

"I wanna show you something, Taylor," Talia said as they broke the hug and wiped their tears,"What?""Come inside, baby." Talia half yelled, and from the entrance, Nathan stepped into the room holding a precious little baby in his arms. It seemed he couldn't stop her from crying softly."Oh, oh my goodness. Nathan?" Talia called. She waited and when he was standing next to them, Talia took the baby from his hand."Hey Taylor… it's been a while." Nathan uttered, but instead, Taylor embraced him so tight. "Yeah, it has. I can't believe I'm seeing you right now."A year back, Alexander had told her the truth. It wasn't Nathan who hurt her family, but his father and he was dead. After everything Mercidi did to her father, Taylor couldn't bring herself to hate Nathan because he had no idea about what his father did after all."You have a baby?""She's ours," Talia responded, and Taylor smiled."Can I?" "Do you even have to ask? Here, take her. She's always wanted to meet her aunt." Gent
ONE YEAR LATER."Kylie baby, come on, you're going to be late okay?" Taylor yelled as her daughter was taking so long to come down.Kyle and Kristen were standing close to her. "Mom, we're going to be late for our birthday party," Kristen said "Just give your sister 5 more minutes okay? She'll be down." Taylor said."Mommy." Kylie yelled as she rushed down the stairs with the nanny behind her. As soon as she got to where Taylor was, she hugged her so tight."You look gorgeous my darling," Taylor said and hugged Kylie. Her daughter was in a lovely pink dress and a crown on her forehead which made her look just a princess. "Now come on, we're going to be late okay." Kylie nodded her head. Just as she turned around, she halted and turned back again,"I love you so much, Daddy," Kylie uttered, blowing a little kiss towards the portrait of Bryan on the wall. Taylor turned around to stare at her daughter and smiled widely."Come on baby." She said again, and Kylie took her hand once again
Noticing that there was no other way to escape, Leo ran into a building before his enemies could get to him. It was an old building and the only building around the area, and thankfully, there weren't many people in it.Noticing that there were only a few of his men left, Asher was determined to kill Leo no matter what. As soon as he came towards the building, he smiled and tucked his gun into his pocket,"Gotcha." He uttered and began to step in.Meanwhile, Sebastian, Nathan, and Thiago got to the building five minutes later. "Damn it, how are we going to go in there?" Sebastian questioned,"We'll just go in," Nathan responded and cocked his head towards Thiago who nodded."What do you mean? There are people everywhere and we might hurt them.""Not just ordinary people, Sebastian. Thiago and I planned everything so that building is mine, and those people are ours. They work for us.Sebastian chuckled, "Why do I even bother underestimating the things you can do, Levi? You're damn smar
Sebastian couldn't stall anymore because if he did, then Rose's life would be in danger just like Leo had threatened. His greatest fear was losing the woman he was meant to protect.Although he had been able to protect Sharon, Rose was more important and he couldn't let anyone hurt her."I need to see the boss." Sebastian was standing at the entrance of the two big doors leading inside the mansion. When he uttered this, the door was opened by two bodyguards and he was allowed to step in.As he got in, the first person his gaze found was Micheal standing behind Leo. Sebastian waited for about 10 minutes before Leo called his attention as he had been discussing with a few friends,"Please sit. We shouldn't treat our guests with disrespect." Leo uttered and smiled knowing that today was the last day. It was either Sebastian had news about the warehouse or he had agreed for Rose to be killed."So, where is it?" Leo questioned.Sebastian took his gaze away from Micheal's and averted it to
As soon as Sasha heard the voice behind her, she turned around immediately pointing her gun towards the three officers who were in front of her with their guns pointed towards her."Ms. Sasha Davis, you're under arrest for murder, illegal sales of drugs, and robbery." Sasha chuckled aloud. Of course, everything was making her damn insane. They found out everything she was hiding. The man whom she had hired had his gun pointed right in front of the officers while Sasha carefully turned sideways,"Move." She yelled at Bryan, but he didn't move away from Taylor."Move or I blow one of their brains," Sasha yelled again staring at the kids, and this time, it was Taylor who moved away from Bryan."Good girl. Come closer."Taylor rose to her feet and walked towards Sasha like she had instructed, "Please, just don't hurt my kids, please.""You can't shoot, you're gonna hurt any of them if you do," Alexander uttered to one of the officers standing beside him as he stared at Bryan."If any of
NEXT NIGHT:Natalia had decided not to step out of her room since she knew Nathan was preparing to leave. If she stepped out, then she would certainly tag along with him so it was best to stay back without saying goodbye or good luck. It was so fucking hard to think that he would be out there alone and she wouldn't be by his day.She had always dreamt that if this day would arrive, she would be beside him and fight, but too bad an unexpected baby had changed everything. Although Talia couldn't deny that she was angry, she couldn't blame the child growing inside of her. If more than anything, she ought to be happy and pray for Nathan's safe returnA knock was rasped on the door,"Come in," Talia uttered, averting her gaze to the door. When the door opened, she heaved in disappointment. "So sorry if I wasn't who you were desperately expecting, sweetheart," Maya said as she walked in and Talia immediately changed her countenance."I'm sorry.""It's fine, darling. How are you feeling? I w
"Everything's ready, and we're leaving tonight. I still fucking hope Sebastian's alright cause if he isn't, then I'm never going to forgive myself." Nathan said and took the last content in the glass"He's gonna be fine, Levi, trust me. I would have gotten words if something happened to Sebastian, alright? Now, we've got to think about you first. You need to successfully make your way to the warehouse before anything else.""Yeah, I know, before Leo gets even the slightest hint of what's happening," Nathan responded. He had never been so nervous all his life, but tomorrow night was going to be the hardest fight Nathan ever had since he knew how to handle a gun and pull the trigger. Tomorrow night, he was going to face his brother, and an enemy of his family for so many years. "I need you to do something important for me, Thiago. I need Natalia to be in safe arms, and if I don't make it alive, I want her to be happy. Damn, she's got to live her life, find a good man, and take good car
The very moment Taylor got to her destination, she halted her car and without a warning began to run towards the graveyard. Thinking about her kids in danger was even more scary than she had ever imagined and so when she stepped in, she was knocked out by a man who had gotten to her unexpectedly.A few hours later, Taylor woke up to see her kids all asleep beside her."Kylie, Kyle, Kristen!" She called their names, but there was no response. "What did you do to my kids? What the hell did you do?" Taylor yelled out loud as she stared at the man standing right in front of her with a mask on his face,"They'll be awake soon. If we wanted them dead, then madam would have instructed earlier.""Madam? Who's she? Who kidnapped my kids?" "Shut up woman, else I might really hurt one of them. Madam will be here soon so wait patiently." The man instructed and Taylor immediately became silent. The most important thing right now was that her kids were alive and she was beside them.A few minutes
