“Good morning Emily”. “Good morning too Nora”. “Am leaving for work, call me in case of anything, okay”, Nora said as she proceeded to leave. Later that evening, I decided to clear my mind with a walk. As I walked down the streets,I found myself in an unfamiliar area. I wandered the streets, growing more and more frustrated. “Help, help”, suddenly I heard a voice screaming. I looked around searching for where the voice was coming from, but couldn't trace anything. “Help, help”, the scream continued, this time more intense. My heart skipped a beat as the scream pierced the air. A wave of fear washed over me as I heard the desperate cry. I quickened my pace,driven by fear. The pathway was as quiet as a still pond, with no one walking around. As the screams continued, I noticed it was a kid's voice, this triggered my mind as I thought the kid may be in danger. I didn't want to involve myself in matters that didn't concern me but my mom guilt couldn't let me. I imagined i

“Okay, thank you doctor”, voices whispered from a far, a soft hum. As I slowly opened my eyes, my gaze fell upon a stranger's face. My eyes locked onto the man and I was hit with a mix of emotions:fear, uncertainty and a hint of fascination. He was in his mid 30’s, stood around 6 feet tall, he wore a fitted white shirt, accentuating his toned physique. He seemed like the kind of person who could handle himself in any situation. My head was spinning, and I couldn't shake the feeling of confusion. I tried to recall what happened, but my thoughts were fuzzy and unclear. I tried to get up and sit, “ No mum, please don't”, he said as he laid his hands on me trying to put me back to a lying position. “Why am I here?”, I asked, voice full of curiosity. “You lost consciousness, that's why you were brought here, but don't worry, the doctors say it's nothing serious. You just need to have enough rest. he said. I didn't respond back, the room went silent for a minute. “My name is Liam G

I swept my gaze across the room, searching for a familiar face. “Riley, are you here alone?”, I asked. “ No auntie, I am with my daddy, he went to receive a phone call”, she replied. “Riley!”, A voice called out. My eyes darted backward, It was Liam Grant. Compared to our previous encounter, He was impeccably dressed in tailored suits and designer accessories, his luxurious watch gleamed on his wrist, you could simply tell he was a wealthy man. As he reached at the table that Riley was seated on, his gaze lingered clearly in search of Riley, “Daddy… !”, Riley called out. He turned and his gaze fell on us, “Ooh Miss Emily”, he said as he moved closer to us. “Nice to meet you again”, he said as he stuck out his right hand for greeting. “Nice to meet you too”, I replied. “Ooh, I see you are not alone”, he said as he turned his gaze and looked at Mia. “ Who is this beautiful princess?”, he said as he smiled, his smile was captivating revealing a hint of mischief.

As we went on with our lunch, Liam continued to engage Mia and Riley in a conversation. The two girls were clearly entertained judging by the laughter and giggles they made. I watched how he effortlessly made the girls happy. Even if it was for a moment, I was glad to watch Mia happy. I was mesmerized at how Liam connected with my daughter even at their first introduction. I was surprised by his kindness and genuine interest in getting to know Mia, they were qualities I hadn't expected from someone I had just met. I felt good for his presence at that moment even if it was a chance encounter. I couldn't help but Wonder if everyone in the city was as kind-hearted as Liam. “Ladies, I hope you enjoyed”, Liam said as he wiped his mouth with a tissue. “ Thank you so much for the lunch Mr. Liam”. “You are welcome Miss Emily, I think we should leave now before we get late”, he said as he pushed back his chair from the table, his legs scraping against the floor as he rose from his seat.

Early Monday morning, after Mia was picked up for School. I had to go to the address that Mr Liam had given me, I wasn't familiar with the city therefore I decided to use a cab. Before I had ordered for one, a car parked at our doorstep, claiming Mr. Liam had sent them to take me to his residence. I had no choice but to go with them, “I think he remembered that I am unfamiliar with this city”, I murmured to myself as I entered the car. ************* As the car turned onto the driveway, before me stretched a breath taking mansion, the mansion's massive stone walls rose up, exuding an aura of luxury and refinement. It's stone facade growing warmly in the sunlight. My jaw dropped as the car drew closer to the mansion, I blinked, wondering if I was dreaming. My eyes widened further as I approached the mansions entrance, the mansion's entrance was a masterclass in understated elegance, with a simple yet imposing wooden door set into a beautifully proportioned stone surround. As I

Because there was no one at home, Mr. Liam had agreed that Mia shall always be dropped at his residence so that we can leave together once it was my time to go.

Liam stumbled backwards, his eyes darting between us as if searching for answers. I shifted my gaze at Harrison. “Are you done”, I asked softly. “Yes dear, I am done”, he said as he turned his gaze towards Liam, who stood stiff. “What are you two doing here alone, where is Nora?”, Harrison asked as he glanced around. “Who are you to ask”, Liam asked furiously. “Emily is my wife, we can talk about whatever we want”.“Emily is mine, she may be your wife now, but she was mine first, and I am going to take her back from you” “Don't be so sure”.“ Of course I am, right Emily”, Harrison said as he turned his gaze towards me. “Can you both stop this, you're not kids anymore”, I said, my tone firm and fed up. “Emily, you should ask your fake husband to shut up”, Harrison said as he pointed a finger at Liam. My eyebrows shot up in surprise, and I shot a glance at Liam. His face lit with surprise too, he gazed at me continuously, and let out a sigh of disbelief. “ Emily, don't tell me you

Liam locked his gaze on me, for a moment without saying a word. “Why are you just staring at me, I thought we had come to talk”, I murmured softly, maintaining my gaze. “Yes, there are some things I want us to talk about”, he said firmly as he moved closer to me. “I want us to talk about our marriage”. My eyebrows knitted together as I tried to understand. “Wait, what do you mean?”I asked curiously. He slowly lifted his hands and placed them on my shoulder.“ Emily, I am talking about our marriage, me and you”, his tone turned cold, more serious and scary. “L..iam”, I stammered. “Are you talking about the marriage we all know is fake?”, my voice trembled as I spoke. “To you it may be fake, but to me… !”, he paused for a minute before continuing. “To me it's not”, he spoke, his voice filled with vulnerability. “L…iam”. “Yes Emily, So please don't abandon me for Harrison, please Emily, I need you too, Emily please”, he begged.

“Emily, Please don't do this to me”, Liam said as he held my hand. “Why would you do that to yourself, how did that even cross your mind”.“Liam, do you remember what the doctor said, ‘Mia has reached this condition due to excessive stress, which I am sure is because of her father’, I don't want to see my daughter suffer anymore”.Liam stared at me with an unyielding gaze, his eyes boring into my soul. “Emily, you told me Harrison has never loved Mia, why do you want to take back Mia to such a man”.“Harrison seems to be a changed man”, I murmured. Liam darted his gaze back and forth, a look of disbelief etched on his face. “Just a few words from him and you are already convinced he's a changed man, Emily, didn't you learn what kind of man he is, after all the suffering he brought to you”.“What if he really is a changed man, what if I can finally fulfill my dream of a complete family!”“Are you listening to yourself right now”.“Yes I am, and I know one thing, everyone deserves a se

We quickly rushed upstairs, towards Mia's room. Before we could reach the doorway, there was a man standing besides Mia's room, with his palms folded together, pacing back and forth. As we steadily moved closer, his image became clear. It was Harrison. I quickly moved closer to him, “What do you think you are doing here?” my voice laced with anger as I spoke. “Emily, please calm down first”, Harrison spoke. “ I am here to see my daughter, Mia is my daughter too Emily, please don't deny me the right to be there for my daughter when she needs me”.I stared at him with a look of disbelief. “Your daughter, Harrison! did you suffer memory loss or something, since when did you start considering Mia as your daughter”.“Emily, why don't you let go of the past, that was some time back, what matters is that I am here”. I chuckled Sacarstically, “What do you think I am, a toy that you can come too whenever your bored and ditch whenever you want”.“Don't talk like that please, I am ready to pa

He steadily walked towards us, and stood besides me as he reached. “What are you doing here Camilla?”, his face fell as he asked, his eyes clouding over with disappointment. Camilla stood still, staring at Liam, as a faint smile played on her face. “ Would you like to guess?”she said sarcastically. “Can you please stop your drama Camilla, please, this is not the right place, nor right time”, Liam murmured. “Ooh, so when is the right time, can you please inform me so that I don't get you in a bad mood at least for once”. We both stood still, staring at Camilla, without saying a word. Fact was I was too exhausted to argue with her, at least not when Mia was fighting for her life. “What? Why are you staring at me as if you have seen a ghost?, anyway it's okay, I know you two are just surprised to see me but I can't help it. I was missing you love!. She said as she moved closer wrapping her hands around Liam's neck. Liam quickly pushed her hands away, his voice firm as he said

In no time, the doctors ran past me towards Mia's room, the door shut right in front of me. My heart raced with anxiety and fear of what would happen next. “Mia! Mia”, a blood curdling scream escaped my lips, echoing through the hospital corridor. I quickly ran towards the doorway, trying to budge in but the doctors couldn't let me in. “Emily, Please calm down”, Nora tried to console me, but it was all in vain. “Please Emily, Mia will be okay”.“No! No! Mia!”, I spoke in hushed tones. I acted like I was going crazy, like my brain was short circuiting. “Emily, what has happened”, Liam came running. As soon as my gaze fell on him, I felt overwhelmed by my grief and I burst out crying, great sobs racking my body. “Li…a…m!, Lia.. m!”, I stammered, words barely audible through my sobs. “Mi..a!”, I stuttered as I pointed towards the ICU, where Mia was being treated from. “Sshhhhhh!, I am here now Emily, I won't let anything happen to Mia, I promise”, he said as he pulled me closer, pla

“I am afraid to say this but her heart condition has become worse”, the doctor said. “Heart…!”, I exclaimed in surprise.“Wait…!doctor, I think you're mixing up results with another patient, "My daughter doesn't have any heart condition”, I stammered, my heart racing with anxiety. “Isn't your daughter's name Mia!”.“Yes Doctor, her name is Mia”.“Then that's the one I am talking about, wait..!, you didn't know about her heart condition”.My jaw dropped and my eyes widened in shock as I heard the doctor's words. My body felt weighed down by the crushing news. I stumbled back, trying to balance, a wave of weakness washed over my legs, leaving them trembling. “Doctor, can you please explain more”, Liam asked. “Mia has a very rare heart condition, Anxiety induced Cardiomyopathy, a condition where chronic anxiety and stress can lead to weakening of the heart muscle, which sometimes leads to heart failure”.“Doctor, just tell us, what is needed to treat her, don't worry about the treatm

“It's about your daddy”, I murmured softly. Mia looked at me straight in my eyes, as though trying to read through me, “Daddy”, she said surprisingly, “what's wrong with daddy?”, she asked curiously. Liam turned his gaze and looked at me, my whole body was trembling out of fear of what was to happen next, he slowly moved his hand and placed it on mine, as a way of comfort. “It's okay, let me talk to her”, Liam said. He turned his gaze and looked at Mia, who stood still, confused on what was going on. “ Umh, you know Mia, your daddy won't be coming back to live with you”, Liam said softly. “He and mummy are not together anymore, so you guys won't be able to ever live together again”, Liam spoke calmly and carefully. Even before Liam could finish what he was telling her, tears streamed down her face like she already knew. Mia turned her gaze and looked at me, like she wanted to hear the truth straight from my lips, “Mummy..”, she stammered, you could sense the fear in her voice.

After a moment of staring at me, Harrison suddenly broke his silence. “Mia, Mia, where is Mia, I want to see Mia”, he stammered. Liam got his phone and dialed. “ Hello security, Please come in, we have an intruder. Okay, thank you”. He spoke. Harrison turned his gaze and looked at Liam, he folded his hands and pleaded. “Please Sir, please let me see my daughter just once, I am begging you please”.I looked at him and smirked, then turned away to leave. I kept hearing murmurs of him begging as I proceeded to my room. Nora jogged behind me too. She slammed the door shut as soon as we reached the bedroom. “Emily…..”, Nora said as she put her hands on my shoulder. I slowly placed my hand on hers, a gentle whispered connection. “It's okay”, I murmured. “Emily..!”, Liam's voice vibrated through the room. “Can I come in”, he said. “Yes please, come in”.“ Emily, I think I should leave now”, Nora said as soon as Liam entered the room. I nodded my head in acceptance. “Emily, are you okay
