Hi, My dear readers thanks for reading my book, In the old version of these story, Aunty Lilian who was the key that became the back and beckon of Alec was not given the appreciation she should get for taking good care of Alexander and Alexandria. So this is mu tribute to her and watch for more exciting event that will follow after these chapter. Much Love, LuzDeLuNa
Mr. Felipe is an Italian chef who was hired under Amanda’s strict surveillance. Most of the staff came from Amanda’s recommendation and I must admit they work efficiently and they know how to keep their mouth shut and listen only to what's needed to hear.An hour later the 3 men went down to have their lunch and just in time, my Aunty came.“Everyone please meet, my Auntie Lilian.” Amanda came forward and was the first person to greet and hug my Aunt who looked very shy. She wasn’t expecting anything when she came here but the Harlington Family welcomed her with open arms.“ I heard so much about you from our little Xander and Alexandria. Thank you, for accepting them without any prejudice, and thank you for extending your love towards your niece and her child.”“ It was nothing,” My Aunt said but she looked a bit teary.“I should be the one thanking them for coming into my life, They both brought joy and peace in my heart. I thought I would grow old and die alone but God is good. He s
For the past three months I was walking on eggshells in the mansion. After Theodore gave me a lesson, he forbade me to bring my daughter to school and I was like in house arrest until one night he came dashing in our room furiously pointing at me.“ You damn bitch! You ruin my chance to become the mayor of this town!” He grabbed my hair and I begged with tears in my eyes but Theodore was consumed with anger as he smacked my face, kicked my body and used his belt to beat me anywhere. I curved my body in a ball while my other hand tried to protect my head. I thought I would die there and then because my body felt so numb I don’t feel the pain anymore but I know I had plenty of bruises on my body and face.“Dad, that's enough! Are you mad? She’s your wife and Lori is just in the other room!” Liam tried to take the belt from his father’s hand and push him out of the room. Then he called Benedict to aid his step mother inside the room.“Mrs. Sander’s can you hear me?” My husband's secretary
“ What are you crying for?” My stepbrother took the letter in my hands and I wanted to snatch it back but I groaned in pain as I moved my arms. When I checked on it my long sleeve was wet and sticky with blood stains.“ Give it back to me, Hernando!” I tried to shout at him like I always do but this time my voice sounded so weak it was more like im begging.“ Fucking sicko, but not bad for a lover he made sure you will come out alive in that hell of a house.” He returned the letter to me and I mentally sigh that he didn’t tear it apart.“ How did you guys know each other?” I asked. He sat next to me and blew the smoke of the weeds in my face, making me cough.“ That boy was easily manipulated mi querida hermanita ( my dear little sister). I just showed him our family picture and said I'm your (Hermano mayor) Big brother. I told him, "I don't trust your husband and I want to put someone to look after you in case you're in trouble and he easily let one of my people work for his father as
I hated her for not defending me when my father maltreated me and I hated her when she couldn't have my father’s love and put her frustration on me. I was an unwanted child, my mother would always tell me how she wished I wasn't born and that she regretted stealing her best friend's boyfriend. It was then that I found out my mother is Alexandria’s mother's best friend. They grew up in Texas and went to the same school. The three of them are good friends but my father courted Alexandria’s mother and not mine. My mother was in love with my father for a long time but she kept it a secret from Alexandria's mom thinking my father would choose her eventually if she proved how much she loved him. When my father got drunk she took the opportunity and slept with him which was witnessed by Alexandria’s mother. It led to a breakup and at that time virginity was a big norm. My mother's family pushed my father to marry her and they left America. I was born in Mexico but my father did not register m
Nicole POVWhen the doctor x-rayed my whole body, he said that almost all of my injuries were healed but I still have ugly blues in my skin all over. The reason they put a cast on me on the most damaged muscle is not because I have broken bones. I was also not in a coma but more on sedatives. Every day they infused enough dosage of sleeping pills on my i.v so I can rest and recover very fast. The doctor even said it was not good for me because one mistake can lead to brain damage or coma but my father insisted that their main priority was to heal me as fast as possible. I was not surprised anymore that he didn't care about my well being. I already accepted that he will never recognise me as his daughter. I sigh in relief when the nurses and the doctor start removing the cast on my shoulder and neck, My arms and right leg. It was very uncomfortable and I feel so much lighter with my body when the cast is off of me. Then our plan began since my father had so much faith in my mother he o
Clyde’s PovMikhail informed me of some Mexican mafia slowly invading The Missouri State. His spy has told him that they are backing up Theodore Sander whom I declined to support. When that guy approached me on Amanda's birthday, he seemed to be a sensible man. I even did a background check on him and his family has been in politics since the day America declared independence on July 4, 1776. But after what had happened to my son, and knowing the history between his wife and Alexandria. I thought it was best to find a much more suitable candidate to support. Besides, slapping your wife and kicking her to kneel doesn’t appeal to me well. I know there’s a rift between his wife and mine but it's for the ladies to fix. The fact that their child had to witness such extreme punishment made me ask myself what else he would do if there were no people around.When the current mayor asked me if I could support his son and give him a chance to prove his worth I made a thorough background check on
When the security personnel came and led us to a private elevator I thought things would be fine. Nicole introduced her mom to us, which she claimed was my mother’s old friend. Claire stood behind me while the kids were behind her. Nicole and her mother were on the left side of the elevator and the three security guards who escorted us were on the front. When we reached the basement, the 3 security guards stepped out first and went checking around the perimeter but things went so fast and a few gunshots were fired. Then a man in a mask showed up in front of us. Claire hugged the kids and since I was in the front. The masked man grabbed me first and pointed his gun at everyone.“ I need all of you to step out of the elevator now!” He shouted Nicole raised her hand and Her mother helped Claire and the kids out while hiding their faces so they wouldn't see what was happening.“ It’s ok, everything will be fine, just don’t open your eyes and cover your ears, Yulia and Xander,” Claire instr
As I grappled with the conflicting emotions surrounding my wife, sister, and the kids, Alexandria's unwavering determination left me feeling utterly powerless and frustrated with myself. How did this situation even come to pass? When I finally reunited with my wife and son after six years, I had vowed to prevent anything like this from happening. Yet, here I am, failing to protect them and underestimating the strength of my adversaries.I immediately called for backup and an ambulance and directed Anton and Fred to discreetly tail the van carrying my wife. A sniper positioned at the nearest entrance had already deployed a tracking device onto the back of the van, ensuring that we could trace their movements no matter where they went.First thing first, I walk to the kids while Mikhail rushes to his wife to check on her. “Thank you for protecting them,” I said to the woman who was shivering while hugging the kids, shielding them with her own body. When she looked up she looked pale and
I turned my body to the side, using my other arm as a support for my head while my other hand lifted to spread to the side some of Clyde’s hair that's covering his forehead. Upon closer look it seems like Clyde had more fine lines in his forehead and in between his brows. I can even imagine how he looked when I was kidnapped and thought I was drawn when I fell in the sea. I bit my lips because I felt like crying. “ Hi, My Sneaky Clyde.” I pause and place my palm on his cheeks that have growing stubble. “ Can you feel my warmth? I hope so. You know, I miss you so much. It felt like we’ve been apart more than the years I haven’t seen you. It’s probably because I love you. That's why not seeing each other even for a few days seems like decades to me.” I took my mask off and planted a kiss on Clyde’s lips. Then I took his left arm and gently placed it on my belly.“ I have good news for you Clyde, remember when you talk about having a football team? Well, congratulations because we’re
“ We will also head out so Mom and Dad can come and see you. Amanda was so eager to check on you but decided for us to buy you fruits. So make sure you try to eat all of them ok?” Claire rolled her eyes pointing to the big basket of fruits before patting my hand while smiling at me. Guessing by her reaction my mother in law probably overreacted seeing the wide variety of fruit in the basket. “ Thank you Claire and Mikhail.” Claire's husband just nodded his head as he placed his hand at the back of his wife while his free hand was holding Yulia’s.“ Bye Yulia, let's play later.” Alexander waved his hand to her and Yulia uttered “ok.” Waving back to my son. This fast few months that the Mikhaylov Family Live in our home in Oak Hill. The two became so close like they were real cousins. A smile forms on my face as my dad and mom come closer to the bed. Dad brushed my hair while mom took my hand and squeezed it gently. I can see Mom has misty eyes so I tried to cheer them up.“ I’m ok,Th
When we reached the airport it was only then that I realized that I had already forgotten about the file that I’ve just read. When I asked James he told me he will make sure to delete it because we left the secret room in a hurry and Neo was not instructed what to do with the file. I sight and thank him for everything. When I landed in Iowa City I was grateful to see that Mr. Fred was there waiting for me. When I glance at my phone it seems like nothing has changed after I left my husband. Sitting in the passenger seat I felt a throbbing pain in my head. This fast 24 hours has been a roller coaster ride. The overwhelming stress, flying back and forth to this city but it doesn’t matter even though my legs are aching my stomach is a bit upset. As long as I can see Clyde the moment the sun rises up. I will be ok, we’ll that's what i thought but upon arriving in the hospital my stomach became unbearable that Amanda who just arrived as well notice my pale look.“ Goodness! Dear, how did yo
James looked worried about me but eventually said fine and I immediately clicked the file. It was a video compilation and It plays right away. The video looks a bit old, probably from six years ago when I was still pregnant with Alexander. I gasped when I saw myself in the video walking around with a big bump. Serving some customers who ordered my aunt's famous homemade carrot cake. The video was taken not far from where I stood . It was a scorching hot day and I remembered I collapsed from the heat but I don't remember how I ended up in the hospital without any injuries at all. But in the video the camera shivered the moment i held my head trying to fight off the dizziness that i am feeling at that moment and then everything became blank but not on the video who somehow still caught the entire event. Clyde stood behind me grabbing my shoulder with one arm making my body rest on him before he scooped me up, surprising the people around the cafeteria. My Aunt came out of the casa and
Chapter * 119 She Found The Answer *The room was huge and had a big bed near the balcony. Everywhere I look, the very walls of this room are basically filled with small or big picture frames of me while I was still pregnant, while I was working on my Aunts small Cafeteria, until I gave birth to Alexander. What caught my attention was the huge portrait I had with my son when he just turned one. I wonder if Clyde pays off the photographer to get a copy of it but it doesn’t matter. I know he was obsessed with us and somehow even though it defies practical reasoning. Deep in my heart I am glad that he was there in every milestone of our son. Even without knowing, just thinking how much effort he has to put in just to have a glimpse of us from afar. A stabbing pain fierce through my heart. I wipe the tears that slip down on my cheeks as I wonder how much pain he had suffered when he wanted to be with us and he couldn't. I glance at James whom I caught staring at me. His eye’s show sad emo
Within two hours I arrived safely in the Oak Hill VIlla in Jefferson city. I was greeted by familiar faces who were shedding tears. They are the ones I often see, serving Alexander and me at home. “ I’m back, you guys should greet me with a smile, why are you all shedding tears?” I asked while Miss Charlotte came forward and asked if she could carry my hand bag. I gave it to her and dismissed the other servant with a grateful smile etched on my lips.“ Where is James?” I asked while we stepped in the elevator.“ Mistress, Mr. James is at Master’s Clyde office.” I walk straight to the office after the elevator opens.“ Mistress, would you like something to eat or drink?”“ Did James have his dinner?” I inquired “ Mister James doesn’t want to be bothered, the last time he asked for food was at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, Mistress.” I nodded my head in acknowledgement.“ Please prepare two green teas and a light sandwich will be fine, Thank you Miss Charlotte.” I knock once before punc
I shut my eyes, Rearranging my thoughts.“ Ok, Are you certain that I can predict the password?” I asked in a serious tone of voice that even my son sit up on the couch properly.“ I am absolutely sure, trust me you mean the world to Clyde, I know it’s something only both of you know.” I took a deep breath, I really don’t want to leave my husband's side but if this will help him. I wanted to try if I could be of any help. I am not that well versed in the world of business but I am well aware that one huge business deal means a lot for a businessman.“ Fine, I’ll leave after I revisit Clyde in the hospital. Does my in-laws know about this already?” I inquired.“ They know, but are you sure you want to leave tonight?”“ The earlier it's done the faster I can go back and be by my husband's side. You only need to arrange that the private jet is ready when I arrive at the airport, James.”“ Absolutely! Rest assured it will all be taken care of Alec, You only need yourself and will be fixe
I screamed in horror as I watched Clyde shield us with his body.“No!” My hand lifted in the air as I saw my husband fall on the ground behind me. It was like what had just happened played in front of my eyes. Tears started streaming down my cheeks as I tried to reach Clyde but things became darker and darker and it was suffocating that I couldn't breathe. I shouted Clyde’s name and asked him to wake up and it was only then that my eyes fluttered open and I was greeted by the room's darkness. The only light emitting was from the post lamp. My brows furrowed as I looked at my wristwatch. It was already 8 in the evening. I remembered talking to my parents and Alexander before I went to bed this morning. After that I felt like I was stuck in a dream that repeatedly plays on after the cycle of events was over.I pushed my body to move and I sat up on the bed feeling my head was still heavy. What my mom probably gave me was sleeping pills to help me sleep. It took five minutes before I felt
When we came back after forcing myself to eat just to have power to start the day. Claire booked a hotel where she, Yulia, my son and my parents can stay and rest while we are waiting for the news of my husband waking up. When we came back I saw the staff of the hospital start preparing Clyde’s room. It's fascinating how money can move people to do things efficiently, if Clyde is just an ordinary person and we are living a normal life. I stop myself from thinking because I start having chills all over my body. If we are just ordinary people Clyde won’t have the privilege to have a good Doctor attending to him nor a private room that no one can bother him with while he recuperates.Not long after everything was arranged in my husband’s private room, one nurse came out telling us that the attending physician was inside waiting for me and Amanda to come inside. Amanda warmly held my arms as we both entered the room.As we open the room we are welcomed by the beeping sound of the monito
