“I love my girls the same. It is just that you don’t know how to recognize it and see th goodness in a person. “Grand ma. Grace replied .Finally, Paula pulled out of Grand ma Grace’s embrace.At once her eyes landed on Sophia. When she finally thought that Sophia was going to learn her lesson and start to behave like a normal person then she goes and do something abnormal.“Hello Mum” she greeted. Her body was full of tattoos. For a moment, she failed to recognize her. Her ears and nose were pierced all over. Her exposed skin was full of marks. Just one look at Sophia and she wanted to slap away the stupidity in her head. “Who are you?” She asked looking at her up and down.“Mother, what is wrong with you? How dare you ask me such a question? Of .... course it is me. This is just a disguise to make people stop bullying me after Caroline condemn us in this God forsaken place. You are acting as if you have never seen a person with tattoos “she said with a grin on her face.“Grand ma,
“Little niece, you know that I love you. I just don’t know how to show it because you were always a thorn in my flesh. Let us just get this behind us. I know that you have been yearning for a mother’s love. If you forgive us, I promise that I will be the best mother that you have always wanted, okay. I am not that bad. I raised Paula “Sophia said while fuming inside.She couldn’t believe what the bitch made her say. If she only knew that she was my mother. what a foolish woman? Always wasting her time with nonsense instead of trying to find out where her child was” Caroline thought disgustedly.“Okay, I forgive you. congratulations, I will talk with my lawyer to get you out of jail only because my grandmother wanted it but not because you two knelt Infront of me. “Caroline said and the two stood up. “Grand ma, are we going home now? Oh…..I can’t wait to go to my spa , do my nails and hair .”Paula stated excitedly.“Not so fast. Caroline, hold on that call for a while. Sophia has a v
Caroline swallowed her bitter saliva. Being rejected was the order of her life. She had since become used to it but now it hurts so badly knowing that her very own mother was rejecting her before she even knew that she was her child. But it was okay. She was going to love watching the drama unfold as always.“I am so happy for you, grand ma. I will also love to meet my other cousin. “Caroline said as she brushed grand ma Grace’s hair. “What did you say earlier? I think that I didn’t hear you well. Did you just say that you were Sophia’s daughter? Darling why would you say something like that? “Grand ma. Grace remembered to ask.Caroline smiled. She didn’t need to make the situation more complicated.“Did I just say that? I don’t remember. Maybe I was only joking. Just forget about it and wait for your grandchild, okay. I have never seen you so happy in my life like today and I am not going to be the one to spoil everything. I care about you too much. “Caroline muttered feigning happ
It would definitely be a disaster if Grand ma Grace were to hand over her beloved company to that woman. But how the hell was she going to explain to her that she was about to make a mistake?“Gosh …her head was hurting so much that it felt like something was cracking it open. She decided to leave things the way that they were for the time being.Her mind was brought back to reality when she heard grand ma Grace’s voice.” You don’t need to worry about me. You have too much on your plate and I am even ashamed that I am bothering you with family issues. Just do what you do best to regain your father’s lost company. I have faith in you. Now take care of yourself, okay ““Bye…. grand ma. “she said as he kissed her cheeks. Just like she came, she entered inside her car and left in a jiffy. Caroline felt lonely again. The person who had warmed her heart had left again. Looking at Sophia, Paula and Jessica, she couldn’t help but feel that her mood has dampened.“You just wait, bitch. We w
“Promise me that you won’t send me away “Jack asked as he caressed her face. Looking in to his eyes, she saw a powerless man and she didn’t want to argue with him anymore.“Deal…just don’t hug me so tight. You are suffocating me. “Caroline muttered softly.“Okay, I will let go “Jack whispered before proceeding to sit on the chair.Caroline joined him. She had no any other alternative but to hear him out. This man might have turned in to the biggest villain in her life but he helped her a lot when she first arrived in the city. At least she owed him that much.“Can you tell me what the hell is up with you. God…...I can’t even believe that I am here talking to you after everything that you have done to me. “Caroline was still startled. Everything happened so fast.“I came here to apologize. I know my words can never bring back the wrongs that I have done to you but I have accepted defeat from you. Please find it in your heart to forgive me. I just need some peace and that peace is yo
“All that I want now is to take care of myself. I don’t care about anything to do with the company. My mother can have it if she wants. You know what, I used to think that Agnes loved me but I was wrong. How does a mother do that to her child? I really don’t understand her. It is like she has turned in to a different person.” “Should I tell her the truth about his mother or what?” Caroline debated internally. As much as Caroline felt his pain. she still couldn’t trust him with such kind of information. He was vulnerable and couldn’t be depended on.“Jack, I am glad that you have come back to your senses. I don’t trust Agnes at all but I will tell you this. Fight for your company. It rightfully belongs to you and no one else is ever going to take care for your father’s legacy if not you, okay. I don’t need you to return anything to me. I have managed to bring back Morgan corporation where it should be. So, don’t bother.”Jack still couldn’t believe that he was here talking to Carolin
Caroline was so impatient that she felt like provoking him just to revenge on all the anxiety that she has had over the past weeks. He just can’t come out from the blue and demand explanation about her personal life. She was not obligated to tell him.“What …you are coming with me.” His face creased as anger boiled inside his body. All that he wanted was to see her and hold her close. why can’t the two of them just behave like normal adults for once in their lives. At once he picked her up on his should and placed her on the passenger seat.Caroline felt her anger increasing.“What are you doing? I don’t want to go with you. Please put me down. I want to go back to my sleep “Caroline resisted but Wesley wouldn’t listen to her.No matter how vulnerable she was towards him, she felt that she wasn’t going to behave today.Wesley placed her down on the chair and then closed the door. He watched her closely and he got to realize that truthfully, he hasn’t been fair to her.After going b
“Oh…...bestie. If you know what has been going on with me, you wouldn’t believe it. There is this man who I have loved passionately for the longest time that I have lived in this world but the problem was that he never looked my way. ““What? You have been in love? You have done a fucking good job at hiding it from me.” Caroline was startled.“Yeah …. the man is very dear in my heart but he loves another woman and I have to watch each and every day as he shows his love for her. I couldn’t do anything about it, so I decided to be a spectator. He never even knew what my true feelings for him were. I am so pitiful. Please don’t pity me. I will be fine” Monica said as she wiped the tears off her face.For once the hot-headed Monica was breaking down. It must have been hard for her to deal with this alone. The thing was that she felt even guilty for learning about this because she has always depended on her without bothering to ask how she was going on.“I am sorry dear. If it is meant to
No one dared to say anything. The crowd stood with their mouths gaped, sizzling back biting going around in style. Their usual soft hums and whispers was all that could be heard by the trio.When it was all done, Sophia wiped both of their tears and kissed their foreheads.” Just know that you can always count on me for anything that you need, okay. I love you both. ““I love you “Caroline voice cracked as she spoke.“I love you too.” Jack added emotionally.“You didn’t hug me grand ma. Don’t you like me too?” Angel complained interrupting the beautiful bonding.It just dawned on Sophia that she has just become a grandmother in a day.Sophia has never even imagined having a grandchild but here she had one already. What more could she have asked for?During these few days, she has learned a very important lesson. Family was more precious than being a rebellious reject, feeling hollow all the time.“Of course, I haven’t forgotten. I will give you a tight hug. Will you like that, princess
“Really sweetheart …It doesn’t matter what gender it is as long as he has come from you and me. I will love the baby regardless of his gender and this time round they will have a committed father. It was so fucking disgusting to hear people calling me a dead-beat dad all the time. My mission now is to prove them all wrong.”Angel giggled as she stated.” I will have a little baby brother. Thank you so much, Mommy. I will have someone to play my video games with and chat with. I will never be alone again. ““You won’t “Caroline ruffled her hair tenderly. Being a mother and seeing your children happy was the most fulfilling feeling in the world.“May I suggest a name?” Angel continued.“Of course. what name would you like to give your brother?” Wesley asked.“I would like him to be named after my grandfather, Dismas. That name sounds unique and full of love. I can’t wait to spoil him.” she replied with a cute pout on her mouth.“Dismas Storm…… I agree. It is a beautiful name, deserving
Then Isabel also appeared looking lovey dovey with Luke. Caroline suspected that there was a romance going on between them but she has never confirmed it.Now there was no doubt that Isabel had found her better a half.“Look at the newest couple in town!” Caroline commented as she stared at Isabel’s blushing face.“So, when did you two start dating?” Wesley asked dumbfounded. He could have sworn that Luke was not the type to settle down with a woman. He was a man of many ladies.“It just happened and the rest is history “Isabel answered as Luke pulled her away. “You don’t need to explain anything to him, it is none of his business.”Luke turned and whispered in Wesley ears “Don’t spoil this for me, okay. If you do, you can forget about me and start searching for new assistant. “It was precisely because of Wesley that he chose never to commit to any woman. He didn’t want to constantly explain why he was always working late or why he was constantly traveling around the world. He wa
“Why are you crying? You are going to spoil the makeup. Is this bastard still bullying you? Tell me and I will kick his ass right now. Until he proves to me that he has changed, then he is not off the hook yet. I will torment him like hell……. “Grand ma Grace said as he cupped her face in her hands.“It ….it ….is not that, grand ma. “Caroline chocked with tears, her voice cracked with the tumultuous mixture of emotions that she was feeling in her body.“Then what it is, sweetie? Remember, bad mood is not good for the baby, okay. “She probed further. Her face creased with worry.Her chest rose up and down as she tried with difficulty to get the words out of her chest.“I can’t believe that all this people came to my birthday. Am I dreaming?” she finally managed to say.“Oh…. No…. Caro. You better believe it! You have so many people who love and appreciate you. All this people are here because they want to be and because they admire you. Start believing it, okay. ““Really …...Really ….
She went back to sorting the documents. She saw various property deeds and their transfer documents. It turned out that Jack had transferred everything back to her name.Really …. she never even cared about them because she knew that she could make more than what her father left her but she was touched by Jack’s actions.At the bottom of the safety box, there was another envelop. Caroline opened it only to find a will supposedly written by her father. She had seen it the day that she was kidnapped and Wesley ended up saving her.“This was prepared by Heather to scam you. I hope that your lawyer will know what to do with it. Forging a will is a crime and Heather must pay for it .“ Jack wrote.Caroline was overwhelmed with emotions as she leaned on Wesley’s shoulders. With a voice as soft as a whisper she said “Let us go home. “Wesley hugged her tenderly as he whispered “It is finally time for you to be happy. Let us go home now. There is nothing stopping us from being together now. “
The following day was bright and sunny as Caroline and Wesley made their way back in to the Rose Garden apartment. She found Angel waiting for her at home. Angel ran to her mother and wrapped her hands around her neck as she lifted her up in to her embrace. She gently touched Caroline’s forehead before asking with concern “Are you okay, Mommy? “Caroline ruffled her hair delightedly earning an adorable giggle from her.“Better than I have ever been now that I have seen you. Are you bored? We can watch a movie or something. Are you in the mood? “Caroline asked. Although she was tired, she didn’t want to neglect Angel. She had to make some time to be with her.Before Angel could say anything, a certain man spoke. They were so engrossed in their little reunion that they had forgotten that he was standing right beside them.Well…. he couldn’t blame them. It has always been the two of them, he has never been in the picture. Why would he expect more from them?“How could they adore each o
She started feeling like she was slipping away in to darkness. She found herself laying her head on top of her mother’s body.Wesley panicked and started calling her name …” Caroline……. Caro…..can you hear me? I need you to say something. If you are hurting, please let me know. “His voice was but a distance whisper before it all went dark. She was no longer feeling anything. Nothing mattered, her heart didn’t hurt as much as it did before as she fully succumbed to the darkness. It was already dark in the evening when Caroline finally woke up. She was in a hospital and Wesley was sleeping beside her bed. She had no idea how long she had blackened out but the first thing that came on her head was her baby.Wesley woke up immediately he heard her stir “Sweetheart, you are finally awake. Where does it hurt?” He asked while tucking away the hair on her face with a concerned look on his face.“Is the baby still around?” Caroline queried while clutching her stomach.“Yes…the baby is fine
“What are you guys talking about? Caroline was confused. She couldn’t tell when she has ever saved Wesley from any fire. She just got a headache from trying hard to remember. Then her memory was taken back to the day that she had an accident and was taken to the hospital. The doctor said that she was suffering from amnesia and that there were signs of her bone healing. She never could have guessed that she was the one who saved Wesley from fire and ended up sustaining serious injuries. The worst part was that she fucking forgot about it. Everybody knew that it was Paula who saved Wesley and he owed her his life.It just occurred to her that they were talking about the same fire accident that left her with a memory loss years back. The doctor said that she was blocking the trauma that she had suffered and that was why she couldn’t remember.Her eyes clouded with tears as she looked at Wesley “I was the one who saved you? I don’t regret it. I would rather lose my memory a thousand t
“Did you just call me your child? “Caroline asked again with a trembling voice.“Yes…. you are mine and no one has the right to make your life hard “Sophia said, Caroline remained still as mixed emotions ruptured in her heart.It was too good to be true.Sophia will never accept her. The police soon arrived after they were called by Grace’s guards. Heather and Agnes were taken away looking defeated. The only people remaining in the house were now family. Out from nowhere, Paula asked “Can you wire the money to me now? I have done my part “Sophia stood up suddenly as she muttered sternly.” There is no one receiving or giving money here. There will be no easy money for you from now onwards. You have to learn to work hard for the money that you want. Are we clear?”“Mum…it is me! I can’t believe that you are treating me like this. “Paula was aggrieved.She stomped her legs like a little brat like she normally does, hoping that her mother will feel moved but she didn’t.“Yeah…...I know
