The following morning Regina Hastened up and went to the office. In regards to her morning routine she went to the coffee stand and made coffee for Hills.She took the coffee and went to Hills office. Opening the door, she walked in only to be welcomed with a cool breeze. The office was empty, it wasn't like the normal time when she would walk into the office to see Hills working on his laptop.Then she realized that he was on a trip and she suddenly felt sad because she is used to seeing him in his office every single day, except for the time where he would not show at the office but those times she would always feel his presence. This time around it was different because he was in Washington DC, far away from her.He said he's going to be on a trip for a week, so this is how it would be... she will not see him for a whole good week. she looked at the chair and imagined him working on the laptop then she suddenly felt the emptiness inside of her. It occurred to her that she has gotte
It's been four days since Hills went on his so-called business trip... Four boring days actually because those four days have been the most boring day for Regina.The office has been the most driest places she has ever been to because it's just work work work and work nothing else. At least when Hills was around, he'd make up some things to try to talk to her and tease her with many things.Throughout, she gets really pissed when she thinks about going to the office the following day. Goodness, when will this week be over? It seems to be long and slow.Why didn't he just take her along? Regina would always lament.She can't wait for this week to be over so he can return back to the office and the office can become lively again."How was work today?" Daphne asked as soon as Regina stepped in. Regina threw her bag on the sofa and sat, taking her heels off and stretching out her feet."Tiring and boring as usual""Your replies have been the same way since this week, why?""Because it's s
Regina got to the office pretty early and as usual, the office was full with the employees going up and down with piles of files in their hands. It has not been like this for the past four days and she wondered what was happening. She was still in thought when she heard some workers talking."Oh! The boss is back... It's a disaster""Yeah! We're all going to work extra hours today""And he's in a foul mood, I guess a lot of people are going to get fired today""Let's get back to work before we get queried for gossiping"They scurried away and Regina got only more confused. Did they just say the boss is around? She questioned herself. Isn't he supposed to be on a trip or are they mistaking a different person to Hills?.. Probably Colin is in the company on the order of Hills and they might think he's around.With that thought, Regina didn't want to think about it that much and concluded that Hills is still on his trip. Besides, he's going to inform her when he's coming back.. right?
"Let me go now Hills, I have work to do!!" Regina told Hills as she tried to get up from his lap but he caged her, preventing her from leaving. He made her sit on his lap and it's been like what?..An hour now... Regina has been trying to go back to her office but he wouldn't let her."I have to go back to my office I have work to do, and we can't be seen like this by other employees they might get the wrong idea" Regina said trying to get up but as usual he pulled her back. "they should think whatever they like... by the way, we are couples now so I don't mind them seeing us this way. There's nothing wrong with that"Regina slapped his chest lightly.... "you are so stubborn" she said. Hills smirked and said:- "you can keep hitting my chest but you have no idea what that is doing to me..." he leaned down and whispered to her ears, "..you are slowly turning me on" Regina felt Goosebumps on her skin as Hills whispered those words to her and she felt her cheeks turning red."you are

It's Saturday and just as Regina had promised, she went with Mira to Hill's house. It's Mira's first time of been and she had to admire then openly wished that she's living here and not the apartment. Regina had to scold and reprimand her for saying such things. Hills was happy to have them.. most especially Mirabelle. He has missed the little one so much.For hours, Mirabelle wouldn't leave Hills side. He was sitting on his laid while they chatted about her school and other things. it was as if they totally forgot about Regina."Mum, I want uncle to be my dad from now on" Said Mirabelle."What? Don't say that Mira, be quiet" Regina scolds her again.. It's not right for Mira to request for such things.. what does she know?"But I like uncle and I want him to be my father, since my supposed real father does seem to return back home anytime soon""Stop saying that. How can you...""Just let her be Regina,, the little girl is just stating her wish, there's nothing wrong in that" Hills
Regina meticulously applied her makeup, carefully enhancing her features but keeping the look natural and radiant. She took her time selecting the perfect outfit for her date with Hills, wanting to make a lasting impression. Daphne watched her with admiration and told her what and what not to do in order to make her look stunning."Daphne, do you think this is too much?" Regina asked, her voice laced with uncertainty as she examined herself in the mirror.Daphne walked over and gently adjusted a loose strand of Regina's hair. "You look absolutely stunning, Regina. Hills won't know what hit him when he sees you."Regina smiled gratefully, her nervousness easing slightly. "Thank you, Daphne. I'm so excited for tonight."It's her first date with Hills and she's a bit nervous. After spending the weekend at Hills house, he suggested they go on their first official date, so here they are.Daphne smiled faintly as she saw the flutter on Regina's cheeks. She's happy her friend is going on a d
The following morning, Regina sat next to Daphne, her heart heavy with guilt. She realized that she had been so consumed by her new relationship with Hills that she hadn't noticed how sad her best friend had been feeling. Shame washed over Regina as she thought about all the moments she had missed, failing to be there for Daphne during her time of need."Daphne, I'm so sorry," Regina said softly, her voice filled with genuine remorse. "I had no idea you were feeling this way. I've been so caught up in my own happiness that I failed to see the sadness in your eyes. Please forgive me."Daphne looked at Regina, her eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and understanding. "It's alright, Regina," she replied gently. "I know you didn't mean to neglect me. Sometimes life gets in the way, and we don't always notice the pain others are going through. Your happiness matters to you the most, I can't bundle you up in my own situation"Regina felt a pang of compassion for Daphne. She knew firstha
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
