Two weeks had passed since the court hearing, and life had settled into a smooth rhythm for Everyone especially Hills and Regina. Their love for each other continued to grow, solidifying their bond with each passing day. Damon, thankfully, had not made another appearance or attempted to cause trouble since the hearing. Regina couldn't shake the feeling that he had retreated in shame, perhaps back to his wife.On a Thursday afternoon Regina, Daphne, and Mirabelle decided to make a trip to the mall for some much-needed shopping. Daphne, with her impeccable fashion sense, excitedly picked out clothes left and right, constantly seeking Regina's opinion.Daphne held up a floral dress with a mischievous smile. "What do you think, Regina? Should I get this one?"Regina chuckled and examined the dress. "It's beautiful, Daphne. I think it would look amazing on you!""Would it be nice for my date with Colin tonight?" Daphne asked again."Right!! It would look sweet on you and I'm sure Colin won
Martina smirk increased as she found Hills looking drowsy and fighting with all of might to keep his eyes open. Finally, she got what she wanted and she can't believe that Hills had fallen for her little pretence. Yes! She pretended to play all innocent and pretend as if she is sorry for everything and has changed, luckily for her Hills did not even notice and you fell for it.Martina recalled what she had done to the cupcakes she brought as a peace offering. Martina could applaud herself for acting so nicely and convincing a while ago. she never knew that she could asked this well. however getting Hills to believe her acting was more than winning a lottery.the cupcakes which she had offered was injected with a substance that would make Hills become tipsy for a little while. now he looks tipsy and drowsy as if he's going to fall asleep any moment from now.Martina stood up and walked over to Hills. she turned his swivel chair towards her and leaned down towards him. she held his jaw
Hills snapped his eyes open, feeling disoriented as he took in his surroundings. The sterile white walls and the faint beeping of machines confirmed that he was in a hospital room. Confusion filled his mind as he tried to piece together how he had ended up here.Colin, who stood beside him, approached with concern evident in his voice. "Sir, are you awake?" You're in the hospital."Hills pushed himself up into a sitting position, wincing at the dull ache in his head. He looked at Colin, his brow furrowing. "How did I end up here? What happened?"Colin hesitated for a moment before answering. "Do you not remember, sir?"Hills frowned, racking his brain for any recollection. And then, like a tidal wave crashing over him, the memories flooded back. Martina's visit to his office, the cupcake she offered as a peace offering, the mistaken kiss, and Regina's heartbreaking arrival followed by her fleeing in tears, and the sight of her bleeding profusely.Regina... Hills's heart clenched at th
Anticipation hung in the air as Daphne, Mirabelle, Hills, and Colin settled into the doctor's office. The room seemed to tighten around them, amplifying their nervousness. Daphne instinctively pulled Mirabelle closer, finding comfort in her.The doctor entered the room, his expression neutral and unreadable. Hills felt beads of sweat forming on his forehead as he tried to decipher any clues from the doctor's face. Was Regina okay? Would she be fine? The uncertainty weighed heavily on his mind, and he refused to entertain darker thoughts.Colin stood quietly with his hands tucked into his pockets , his neutral expression belying the worry that churned within him. The whole situation had left him feeling confused and unsure of what to expect.As the doctor cleared his throat and settled into his seat, a hush fell over the room, intensifying the anticipation. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the doctor, waiting anxiously for his response.Finally, the doctor spoke, breaking the silence that
"Aunt, when would Mum wake up? She has been sleeping for so long now!" Mira's voice trembled with sadness, tugging at Daphne's heartstrings. It had been a week since Regina had been admitted to the hospital, and she hadn't regained consciousness yet. Daphne's heart sank deeper with each passing day, knowing the pain it caused Mira.Daphne squeezed Mira's hand gently, her own eyes brimming with tears. "I don't know, sweetheart," she replied softly. "But your Mom is strong, and she'll wake up soon. We just need to be patient and believe in her."Mira's eyes welled up, and she sniffled. "I miss her so much, Aunt Daphne," she whispered, her voice laden with longing. Daphne could feel the weight of Mira's emotions, and she did her best to comfort her."I know, Mira. I miss her too," Daphne admitted, swallowing the lump in her throat. "But she's fighting hard, and we have to stay positive. She'll be back with us before we know it."Mira nodded, her small face etched with determination. "Whe
Hills arrived home feeling exhausted and stressed, his body aching from the strain of staying by Regina's side. Colin, stood by him and, urged him to get some rest, assuring him that Regina would be alright soon. Hills nodded weakly, grateful for Colin's concern. As he started to climb the stairs to his room, Colin called out to him, causing him to pause."Sir!" Colin's voice echoed through the hallway. "What would you like to eat so I can get it prepared later?"Hills shook his head, his appetite diminished by his worry for Regina. "I'm not hungry, Colin," he replied quietly. "I won't eat until Regina wakes up. I need to punish myself for my mistakes."Colin's eyes widened in concern, unable to comprehend why Hills would put himself through such anguish. "But sir, you haven't eaten for days now," he protested gently. "You need to take care of yourself too. Punishing yourself won't make things better. Please, consider having a meal."Hills remained resolute, determined to atone for hi
The silence in the hospital ward was palpable, and everyone stood motionless, unsure of what to say or how to break the tension. Hills stood by Regina, his head bowed, overwhelmed by the weight of the situation. Regina, on the other hand, sat with a deep frown on her face, staring straight ahead, seemingly unwilling to acknowledge Hills or anyone else in the room.Daphne, noticing the thick atmosphere, turned to Colin and discreetly nudged him, subtly suggesting that they should give Hills and Regina some privacy to talk. She leaned in and whispered into Colin's ear, "Maybe we should leave and let them have a moment alone."Colin nodded in agreement, understanding Daphne's intentions. They both turned to make their exit, but before they could take a step, Regina halted them, inquiring about their sudden departure. "Where do you think you're both going?"Daphne quickly thought on her feet, attempting to come up with a plausible excuse. "We were just thinking of taking a walk around th
Mrs. Sebastian approached Regina with a concerned smile and asked, "How are you feeling, Regina? Any discomfort?"Regina shook her head, indicating that she was fine but had a slight headache. Mrs. Sebastian nodded empathetically, understanding Regina's response. There was a moment of silence as Regina appreciated the care and kindness Mrs. Sebastian had shown her despite their initial unpleasant encounter.Earlier that day, Mrs. Sebastian had rushed to the hospital to visit Regina. Surprising Regina, she brought a basket full of fruits, believing they would aid in her recovery. Regina thanked her sincerely for the thoughtful gesture.Observing their interaction, Daphne couldn't help but marvel at the change in Mrs. Sebastian's demeanor towards Regina. Intrigued, she spoke up, unable to contain her curiosity any longer. "Mrs. Sebastian, you seem different compared to how you were before. I remember you being quite mean and unkind."Mrs. Sebastian chuckled, dispelling any tension that
The whole family sat around the large dining table at the sebastains Mansion, having a quiet and peaceful dinner to celebrate their lady achievements."Cheers, to more years filled with happiness, love, and lost importantly, a life free from those who wanted nothing but to ruin us" Hills paused and stared at everyone's faces, then he continued. "Cheers to a fresh start, a new beginning and a new found relationship..." He concluded and they all clicked their glasses together with smiles on their faces.As if they all had it all planned out, they all drank from the glass at the same time.Mirabelle quickly climbed on her seat.. "I wanna say something everyone!!" She said in a loud tone, getting everyone's attention."Go ahead dear" Regina urged her and everyone gave her their undivided attention but curiosity were written on their faces as they wondered what she has to say."First of all, I want to sincerely say sorry to my dearest mother for putting her through so much worry and leavi
It's been two weeks since everything. The fight, pursuit here and there and everything else. Now, everything bid back to being normal. Hills and Regina already returned back to New York with Mirabelle and enrolled her into a therapy session. It was really necessary since Damon played with her mind.In this two weeks, Regina was told not to pay visit to Mirabelle until the session is over and Regina dearly hope for her daughter to be well again.As for Hills, he's recovering pretty fast. Thankfully, the bullet did not go very deep into his legs and there's hope he'd walk again.Regina sat opposite Martina in the interrogation room. The room was filled with an uncomfortable silence, and Regina could sense the weight of guilt that hung heavily on Martina's shoulders. She cleared her throat gently, trying to break the tension."Martina," Regina began softly, Martina's head remained bowed. She couldn't even bring herself to look at Regina and Regina could actually see that."I'm sorry Reg
Damon was beside himself also and he felt really angry that his plans have yet again failed. He has been arrested after coming a long way. Just when he was about to finally get his target and live the life he has always dreamed of, things had to go this rough, yet again. Damon thought and decided that he is not going to let this slip and he is going to make sure that Hills and Regina pay one way or the other. He can't go to jail. He needs to come up with a perfect plan. As a police officer pushed him into his jail cell and took off the handcuff in his hands. Damon devised a plan. "Now stay there like a good boy!!"The officer turned to leave and just when he was close to exiting the cell, Damon moved swiftly towards him and slammed him against the wall then twisted his neck to the side very hard. The officer became unconscious. Damon quickly exchanged his clothes with that of the officer. He put on the uniform and it fits him perfectly, it's a good thing they have the same body si
As Hills paced back and forth in the police station, frustration mounting, his impatience reached a breaking point. Unable to contain himself any longer, he approached one of the officers working on tracking Regina's location and demanded an update.What is taking so long? Why aren't you doing anything to find Regina? We're running out of time here!" Hills felt agitated. Everything is just being too slow and time is not on his side.First, Mirabelle got missing and they haven't even found her yet, now Evelyn? Things are really getting out of hand and more complicated. "Sir, I understand your concern, but we are still actively working on locating her. This process can take time, and we're doing everything we can" One of the officer said"Time is of the essence! Regina's life, and more importantly, Mirabelle's life, are at stake here. We can't afford to waste any more time!" Hills lamented.Just as Hills was about to lose hope, the officer tracking Regina's location suddenly spoke up, b
As Damon continued to drive, his knuckles turning white from gripping the steering wheel, Charlotte's eyes widened with alarm as she glanced back, noticing the car that had been following them for miles."Um, Damon," Charlotte hesitated, her voice trembling slightly. "I think we're being followed."Damon's face contorted in anger as he slammed his hand against the steering wheel. "It must be Hills or Regina," he seethed through gritted teeth. "They must have found out about our plan.""But how is that even possible? I was sure they left the penthouse earlier today" Charlotte's heart raced, fear gripping her as she looked at Damon. "What should we do now? We're about to get caught Damon. Do something, we can't get caught now!" She pestered himDamon's expression hardened, his mind racing with a sudden change of plan. He grabbed his phone and began typing furiously, his actions shrouded in secrecy. Charlotte desperately sought answers, her voice filled with worry. "Damon, what are you
Hills and Regina followed the police to Damon's penthouse. As they approached the gate, Hills turned to Regina, his voice filled with uncertainty."Are you sure this is the penthouse, Regina?" he asked, casting a glance at the elegant building before them.Regina hesitated for a moment before responding. "I've only been here once, and that was when Damon showed me the house before our divorce. But based on what he told me, this should be it. Let's go in and have a look. I really hope we find him."They rang the doorbell, their hearts pounding with anticipation. To their surprise, the door swung open almost immediately, revealing Charlotte standing there.Both Regina and Charlotte locked eyes, memories of the past flashing through their minds. Regina couldn't help but remember the painful moment she caught Damon in bed with Charlotte, the betrayal etched into her memory.The pain she felt seeing her husband pants down with his secretary in their matrimonial bed. And the mockery Charlo
The door pulled open, revealing a fat pot-bellied old man instead of Damon, leaving Regina surprised. The old man looked at them with curiosity and asked, "What can I do for you folks?"Hills took a step forward and replied, "We're looking for a man named Damon. He used to live here before. Did you know him?"The old man shook his head slowly. "I'm sorry, but I don't know any man named Damon. I just recently moved in last month after the house was sold to me."Regina's heart sank, and she could feel tears welling up in her eyes. She stammered, "But... but he lived here. He's my ex husband and this was the house we lived in. And just few days back, he took my daughter and we suspect he'd. e back here. Please sir, tell us if Damon is inside. We need to get him arrested. My daughter's life is at stake here."The old man's expression softened as he noticed Regina's distress. "I'm really sorry to hear that, miss, but I genuinely have no knowledge about Damon or his whereabouts."Desperatio
The next morning, Charlotte took matters into her hands as she went upstairs with a tray of food. Since Damon said Mirabelle is now her responsibility and she can do whatever she likes with her, Charlotte felt really happy because this is the chance she needs to teach the daughter of the one person she hates, a lesson. All this years, she has been in this fruitless marriage, unable to bear her own child. It hurts when the doctor had said she had no womb. Like, until she dies, no one would call her mother. She would never have a child of her own. it felt like a curse. it felt as if Regina laid a curse on her never to bare a child of her own. 5 years ago, she had an affair with Damon and that was when Regina caught them red-handed and Damon was willing to divorce her. To Charlotte, she felt Regina is the reason for her childlessness.She's going to make sure mirabelle suffer. She would torture Mirabelle up to the point that she would regret being Regina's daughter.Charlotte would ha
Daphne sat beside Regina, her heart breaking as her friend's tears continued to flow. She gently brought a plate of food closer, placing it on the coffee table in front of them. "Regina, please try to eat something. I know it's hard, but keeping your strength up is important during this difficult time," Daphne softly pleaded, her voice filled with concern.Since Regina woke up, she have been crying non-stop which got Daphne really confused on how to cheer her up.Regina glanced at the plate but shook her head, her voice trembling with anguish. "How can I eat when I don't even know if Mirabelle has eaten? I can't find any peace until she's back with us." Her voice cracked between sobs, deep-rooted fear and desperation evident in her words.Daphne reached out, placing a gentle hand on Regina's trembling shoulder. "I understand your worry, Regina. We're all feeling it. But you have to trust that Hills is doing everything they can to find Mirabelle. They're professionals, and they won't s
