So this will now connect all the dots slowly. Watch out for more my lovely readers. Thank you as always and Goodnight! Much Love, LuzDeLuNa
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
Amanda was having their afternoon tea when her phone rang and she accidentally spilled some of it on her hand. Christopher quickly asks a servant to bring their first aid kit while one of the servants brings a basin filled with cold water. Amanda didn’t even flinch when her hand was soaked on it and the more she hears the ringing of her phone the more her heart is beating faster. When she picked it up it was then she felt all the blood in her vein was drained away.“ Mom, I need you and Dad in Jefferson City. Please bring my wife’s parents as well.” Amanda didn’t ask any further as her mother’s instinct kicked in.“ We will be at the airport within an hour. Let me just ask someone to pick up Alexandria’s parents.” Christopher places his hand on his wife's back and gently rubs it. “Let's pick up our passports and meet them in the airport so we won't waste time.” He suggested and Amanda nodded her head. Grateful for her husband's quick thinking.Not long after they arrived in the airpo
Marybeth took her friend's hand as they sat on the couch facing each other.“ This may sound unbelievable and I will accept the consequences of my mistakes but before you condemn me Liz, please listen to what I am about to say.” Liz Nodded her head although she was still puzzled. She’s curious about what her old friends want to reveal to all of them inside the room. Mary Beth took a deep breath and spoke once again.“ My life after I am able to get married to Nicolas was not as what you thought it would be. We left the country and moved to Mexico until Nicole was old enough to go to school.” She paused, staring at the ceiling as her eyes became teary and her lips started to quiver. She took a few deep breaths before she continued.“ Nicolas felt i betrayed his trust and for so many years up until now, that idea was etched in his heart and mind. He developed a chronic adjustment disorder. After I gave birth to my daughter Nicole, I continued my study and I graduated as a nurse. I ha
Chapter 84 * Nicole and Alexandria *When Nicole and I hopped inside the car I felt a sting like someone injected something into my neck but before I could even check it I already passed out.“Take good care of her. We need to go to a private port, where we're going to move in waters so they can't track us.” Nicole bobbed her head saying ‘Yes Father I will” And Nicolas smiled. It was always like that if she obeyed then her father would smile at her but this time it was not because she wanted to please him but for her father to feel relaxed so that she could plan their escape. My father’s twisted idea must be stopped. It's enough that my mother and I suffered from him. I will help Alexandria escape. This will be my atonement for what I did to her son and how I manipulated someone to hurt her feelings when we were in college. This is me changing for the betterment of my life and the new one I will create with Lori and my mother.I noticed the streets were getting darker. How long are we
“ 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
When the roller coaster emotion that has taken over me calms down, It has been two hours more. My lips quiver and my eyesight blurred as I stared again at the red light in the operating room. How long does my husband still need to stay there? The longer time that he was inside the more I felt hopeless. My mother stayed by my side and the rest of Clyde's family sat on the bench quietly waiting. Amanda was even uttering prayers for her son’s safety. I took a deep sigh as I closed my eyes. God says trust in him and let him face your battle in your stead. So I, just like Clyde’s mom, started praying from the bottom of my heart seeking God's refuge and comfort. Asking for his mercy and forgiveness lifting up the life of my husband unto him because I know he's the only one who can decide how long we could live in this world. As my tears stream down my cheeks and my shoulders start shivering from quietly crying. My mom patted my hand that was placed in my heart. I opened my eyes and saw Clyde
