Elizabeth took a deep breath. She was so young at that time that she didn't even wonder why her mother-in-law was in a hurry for her to take the medicine. Since she was feeling unwell, for the woman to leave her alone, without any more questions, she took the pills from her hand and then put them inside her mouth. After that, Mrs. Jones handed a glass of water to her. The woman didn't leave her side until she was sure that she took the medicine. "Now, just take a rest and then call me right away when you feel unusual," Mrs. Jones said and then she turned around and immediately left the bedroom.. Mrs. Jones seemed to be right, like she knew that there was something that would be happening to her because just a few minutes after the woman left, she felt her stomach rumbling and it seemed that there was a contraction that was happening. The pain was severe in her stomach going to her back. She never felt this pain before and no matter what position she would be in bed,
It was solemn. Albert's burial was attended by his closest friends and since he was already an orphan, it was Charles and his mother along with Elaine that stood up as his family. The three of them were there except for Elizabeth. From not a far, Elizabeth was sitting inside of the black Bentley. Her tears were unstoppable as they continued to drip down from her eyes. She was just inside the car and looking at the group of people standing in front of Albert's tombstone. As much as she wanted to get out of the car and go there, she couldn't. She knew that it would n't be safe for her. If she would come out of the car and went to the group of people, surely she would hear the minced words of her ex-mother-in-law and Elaine Imperial. Now that Albert was gone, she had no one to lean on. There's no one to defend her in the insulting words of these two people. Grievances and hatred were the emotions that she felt at the moment. Grief because of losing the man that she thought would
Charles was dumbfounded because of what he heard from the man. But, before he could even respond to what he said, the man was already walking far away from him. He was left standing where he was until he couldn't see the man anymore. He was trying to absorb the words that the man uttered. There was nothing he could do but watch the person's broad shoulders as he walked away. It was as if the man intentionally left him because he knew that he would question what he said. He was wondering what the man meant by what he said. And, who was the important person he was referring to to whom Albert wanted to transfer his shares? He took a deep breath and then he finally turned around. He went to the car where his family was waiting for him. He could already see Elaine looking at him as if the woman was already feeling impatient while waiting for him. He shook his head. He really couldn't understand Elaine if she was sincere in everything that she was showing to him or he was jus
A knock on the door made Charles lift his head from signing the documents that were already piled on his table. "Come in," he shouted. As much as possible he didn't want to get disturb because of the news that he received earlier. He had to prepare these documents so he didn't have to rush just in case the board would need it. It was Daniel. As always, his personal assistant came in to remind him of all of his meetings for the day. "Sir, in five minutes, the new president of the company will arrive," Daniel said while looking at him. His eyebrows were drawn together wondering who it could be. It was not hidden to his knowledge that finally the position of president would be taken again after Albert's death three years ago. For the past years, it was only the lawyer of the heir who was communicating with them. And to respect their privacy, they never questioned them. But, he couldn't just help wonder why they needed to hide the identity of the heir. He wa
But before Charles could even react from what Elizabeth said, the woman already turned around heading out of the room. He was left almost jaw dropped while looking at his ex-wife. He couldn't do anything but just follow her with his eyes. Charles shook his head as he couldn't believe what kind of attitude he saw from Elizabeth. He was right all along with what he was thinking. She already changed. She was so different from the wife he knew three years ago. Elizabeth seemed very confident in every action that she made and in every word that she said. He never saw this side of Elizabeth before and he couldn't help but wonder where she had been and how she had changed a lot. He found himself going back thinking about the last word that she said and he felt his heart pounding so fast inside his ribcage. He could sense Elizabeth was up to something. Something that he couldn't exactly tell what and explain. There was a sudden doubt in his heart as he tried to think how his ex-wif
Elizabeth was having dinner with Arnold in a prestigious restaurant. They were there to meet the investigator they hired to do the investigation about the accident that involved Albert three years ago. She was thankful that they were in a good spot at the restaurant. They had a table that couldn't be seen easily but gave them the full view of the place. They were busy discussing that incident when suddenly her eyes were caught by the woman who just entered the restaurant. She was looking at the rear view of the woman who was heading to the table in the corner. They were on the opposite side of the table where the woman was sitting. She couldn't help but get curious who Elaine was waiting for. She kept on roaming around her gaze particularly at the entrance of the restaurants. She was wondering if the woman was with Charles by any chance. As the woman was wearing a seductive dress, she could say that this woman was really attractive. That was something that she couldn't deny
Elizabeth was shocked as she looked at the woman in front of her. It was Mrs. Jones. What a small world! She couldn't believe that this woman was here as well. Anger rose inside her heart as she remembered everything that this woman had done to her. This woman bullied her a lot of times to the extent that she lost her first child, her grandchild. She believed that Mrs. Jones planned everything that happened. She couldn't imagine the hate that this woman was feeling towards her that she could kill innocent lives. Her son's own flesh and blood. Why did this woman hate her anyway? She couldn't remember a single thing that she had done to her for the old woman to hate her like this. "And what's the plan that you are talking about? What mission are you talk about? I cannot believe that you are already a terrorist now after losing your lover," Mrs. Jones said which she couldn't believe. What kind of mind does she had to think that way? She already concluded a lot of things wh
Elizabeth parked her car in front of the Jones Holders. She couldn't help but roamed around her gaze. Soon, all of these would fall in her hands. After that, she gave the car key to the valet and then she walked straight inside of the building. She just reached the elevator when her eyebrows were knitted together. The employees were all walking to the entrance of the building like there was a very important person that arrived. One of her eyebrows rose, she should get use to it. This was their way of greeting the owner of the building. The head of this company. She couldn't help but shook her head. She felt like she was in a Korean TV series were in the people bow down to the highest person in the hierarchy. Actually, this scene was no longer new to her, she had witness this three years ago and though deep inside, she couldn't deny how fast her heart was pounding inside her rib cage. It was as if there were butterflies in her stomach and she needed to calm herself as she
"Elaine!" Elizabeth shouted after she took the phone from Charles. She saw who was the caller before Charles answered the call. "Don't you dare hurt my son or else you will see what you are looking for!" She added. She couldn't imagine what she could do if something happened to Albert. He was her priceless treasure. She had protected her all of his life and she wouldn't allow Elaine just to take away the life that her son deserved. She wouldn't let her kill her son like what Mrs. Jones did to her first three unborn babies. She heard a demonic laugh on the other line.It was as if Elaine was not affected at all with what she had said. She was laughing like crazy over the other line. The sound of her laughter was irritating in the ears. "You bitch! Whatever! You took everything to me. The man that I love and now my son? What do you think of yourself? You took them all away from me! You asshole! You send my mother to jail!" Elaine shouted from the o
"Mom!" A familiar voice made her wide open her mouth. It was her son coming from outside that made her get up. She was glad that she was already wearing her nightgown because the door just suddenly opened. It was Nanny Maria and Albert. She missed both of them and she was just staring at them as they got inside of the bedroom. "Good morning. Are you still sleeping? "Good morning. It's okay Nanny Maria. How's my baby? Come to mommy," she said and then she opened her arms waiting for her son to come to her. "I am good. Good morning, Mommy! You don't know how much I miss you. Where is daddy?" Albert suddenly asked her after he gave her a hug. She looked at her Nanny Maria as she didn't know what to say to her son. She didn't know how to answer his question. She found herself alone in the bedroom earlier. Charles was already gone and she had no idea where he was. She was thinking when all
Elizabeth went back to the bedroom when she was already done having their dinner. Because of tiredness and the effect of the medicine that she took, she fell asleep and she was unable to wait for Charles to go back home. She was in a deep sleep when she felt a warm breath that was next to her face. Even in sleep, she felt the thrilling sensation that was brought by it. She could feel the sudden rose of her tiny hairs in her nape. A hand that was gently caressing her body and one hand was actually gently pulling down her underwear. A warmth breath on her neck made her body heat. Suddenly, she felt someone sucking and kissing her breasts. He was like a baby sucking her nipple. A moan escaped her lips. She was starting to get damp down there. The burning sensation started to flow in her body and she couldn't help but arched with the sensation that she was starting to feel. He is taking her gently and slowly. It wasn't the usual way when he wanted
Elizabeth slowly opened her eyes and she found herself in a room with white paint all over. If she couldn't be mistaken, she's in a hospital. She turned her head on her right side and she saw Arnold. Her eyes were drawn together. She was wondering how she was in the hospital. "Why am I here? How did I come here?" She couldn't help but ask. "I received a call from the servants and Charles," Arnold said. "Your place has been shot." She felt like her body was suddenly frozen because of the fear that crippled inside her body when she heard what Arnold said. She could remember everything. The sound of the shooting guns seemed like echoing inside her heart. She took a deep breath to calm herself. Earlier, while she was in the bathtub, the gun shooting happened. She was glad the call that she made with Charles got connected but she was so scared and the only thing that she could remember that she said was ther
"I cannot believe it. Did you really do that?" Elizabeth said, full of disbelief in her voice. "Yes," Charles confirmed to her. "I am sorry. I am just so worried about you and our child. I know you have a sensitive pregnancy and I am just scared that you might have miscarriage again so I tried to keep an eye on you as much as I could. So, I can be there if you need any help. I don't want what happened before to happen again. I consider this as a blessing because for the fourth time, you got pregnant," Charles explained to her with sincerity. She could feel in his voice that he only wanted to make sure that she was okay. Elizabeth didn't know what to feel but she knew that her heart was swelling because of so much happiness. She could tell that Charles was really concerned about her. It seemed that the man had really changed. She had witnessed it all earlier. She had seen how he had talked back to Elaine and his mother. He defe
Charles removed Mrs. Jones' hands that were embracing his legs. He couldn't believe the woman who raised him was an evil. He felt so bad because of all the things that happened in his life. He was stolen a couple of years to be with Elizabeth and their child. He felt like his heart was stabbed by a sharp knife. He was supposed to be with Elizabeth when she gave birth to their son but because of his own mother, he lost that chance. He missed those moments with his child. He was supposed to be there while he was growing old and witness his milestones but he was not given a chance because of the deception. Charles felt like his heart was being squeezed with the realisation that he had been a toy of Mrs. Jones and Elaine. The two women made a fool out of him. How could they be selfish? How could his mother and Elaine ruin his life because of their selfish ambition? How could they be this greedy that they were willing to kill people just to get what they wanted in li
"What are you doing here?""Why are you here?" Those were the questions that came out from Elaine and Charles. The two were both surprised to see each other. Elizabeth was just looking at the two women who just got inside her office without even knocking. They really act as if they were someone that was over her. "Shouldn't I be the one who is asking you that question? Both of you? What are you two doing here? You don't even give respect to the person who's staying in this room," Charles said in an authoritative tone. She could say that the man was furious because of his tone of voice but the two women in front of them were not even bothered. "Why should we even knock? Why should we pay respect? Who do you think she is?" Mrs. Jones mumbled as she was looking sharply at her. Elizabeth couldn't believe how thick the faces of these two women showed up in her office as if they had not done anything wrong to her. She tried to stay calm
After Charles saw what was inside the envelope and read what was written on it, he immediately stood up and then he went to Elizabeth's office. "Hi," he greeted Elizabeth, who was busy eating ice cream and strawberries. He couldn't believe that she was eating these again just like how she ate the green mango and the ice cream before. He couldn't help but wonder how her stomach was taking that kind of food. If he would be the one eating that, he knew that he wouldn't get out of the washroom. But, Elizabeth seemed to be enjoying every bite that she was having. Daniel was right when he said that pregnant women were really into weird food. He could see that to Elizabeth. If she wouldn't be eating mangoes, he would be seeing her chewing strawberries. He couldn't help but shake his head because of how funny being pregnant could be. "Hello," Elizabeth greeted him. "What brought you here?" She quickly asked while he was walking straight to her desk.
Elizabeth felt like she was a melting candle when she saw the message and the photo of her with her son. Arnold quickly guided her to the couch. She didn't know what to think of. A lot of things started to flood her mind. She wanted to get mad because of these people who were behind everything that was happening in their lives. She couldn't believe that vicious people like these existed in this world. How could they even sleep with their conscience? "Stay strong," Arnold said, who was also sitting on the couch with her. "I already called Nanny Maria and informed her not to step out of the house. She needed to stay and keep an eye with Albert. Then, I already sent a message to your dad. I told him that he needed to add more security to your house in Barcelona," Arnold exclaimed. She felt like her whole body was still trembling. This was what she had feared the most. This was her main reason why she didn't want Charles to see Albert yet. She knew that thes
