Chapter 23

Knox tossed on the bed for the fifth time, finding it difficult to get some sleep. His mind was occupied with lots of thoughts, and he couldn't even bring himself to get some sleep, at least, not after what happened back at Aliyah's school today.

It took him some time before he finally felt his eyes heavy, and he didn't resist the sleep since it was what he has been waiting for, drifting into dreamland.

The sound of his ringing phone pulled him out of his deep slumber, and he groaned tiredly as he tossed on the bed, and as he cast a lazy look toward his side, the bright sunlight penetrated his eyes, and he forced them open as the realization hit him that it was already morning, or late in the morning, rather.

He groaned as he sat up on the bed tiredly, and he gasped when he glanced at the wall clock to see that it was already 10am.

"Shit!" He cursed under his breath, realizing he had an appointment with his workers this morning, and it was already time

    Chapter 24 "Is this how I brought you up, Knox? How dare you?" The chairman, his granddad scolded him as they both sat in his living room along with Nina. He knew at this point that his life was already ruined. Now, he regrets being harsh on Nina. She wouldn't have gone too far to report to his granddad if he had just sorted this out immediately. "Grandpa..." "What do you want to say? How could you cheat on your wife? Is she the reason you did that to Aliyah? Is she?" The old man yelled again, glaring hard at him, and he bit his bottom lip. He hasn't been able to tell the man what happened between him and his supposed ex-wife, because he didn't have the balls to. "And you... Do you know he was married when you opened your legs for him, huh? Were you aware that he was married?" He turned to Nina and asked, but she threw her gaze away as she scratched the back of her neck, biting her bottom lip. "Sir..." "You shameless harlot! You should've looked elsewhere f

    Chapter 25 It was finally the day for the audition. Waking up this morning with a slight headache that was caused because of nervousness, as many things ran through her mind. As she stared at her reflection in the mirror a few minutes later, she felt her heart thumping hard against her chest. She was all dressed up for the audition and should be on her way soon, but somehow, she didn't feel like going. What if she didn't win the role? What if they say that she didn't do it well? What if... She stopped and sighed briefly as she tucked her hair behind her ear. "You'll be fine, Aliyah. Everything will be fine. You can do this," She assured herself as she stared at her reflection in the mirror, then took a deep breath before she stood up to leave, but she stopped abruptly and touched her forehead when she suddenly felt her eyes spun. She gulped down nothing as she tried to keep her eyes open, but they were too tired to hold themselves open, and she was getting weaker.

    Chapter 26 The drive to the company didn't take much time before they arrived, and Aliyah couldn't help the nervousness that kept trying to eat her up. "Are you sure this will work?" She asked Tate for the fifth time as he drove into the company, and he sighed "Yes, it will. Just be confident, and trust me, everything will be fine, ok?" He assured her again, and she nodded her head even though she was still nervous. He finally pulled over at the parking lot, and they hopped out of the car. The compound was busy with people trooping in, different cars were parked at the garage. This was going to be a big audition, so she didn't expect less. The sight of everything was making her lose confidence, and the thought of many people that were going to audit made her think less of herself. What if she didn't make this? What if she ended up failing? Those were the questions that kept running through her mind as she trailed behind Tate toward the entrance door. Her phone sud

    Chapter 27 "Are you kidding me?" Nina scoffed unbelievably as her eyes went wide. "How can you ask me to share my script with her? Where is that even done?" Nina further shrieked as the realization dawned on her what was going to happen out there if she was really to act with her. She knew this was never going to end well. "Miss, there is nothing wrong with it. Besides, you were going to do that with another participant, so there is nothing to make a fuss about. The person that should be angry now is Miss Aliyah, and not you. She is the one that got the wrong script," The director tried to explain to Nina, and she sighed. "We should get to it already. We don't have much time left," Aliyah uttered as she snatched the script from Nina, and as she glanced through it, she just couldn't help the smirk that laced up her lips. Soon, they started rehearsing. They were finally called out after a few minutes that it was their turn. As they both walked up to the stage

    Chapter 28 "You did well today. Your dad must be so proud of you," Tate commended her as he drove her home minutes later, but she just forced a smile at him before he returned to staring out through the window. "Are you ok?" He asked as he knotted his eyebrows together, wondering what happened, but she only shook her head, and he eventually had to leave her be. She wasn't supposed to be angry because she could at least pour out her heart to Nina, she should be glad that came up, but why did it ruin her mood instead? Why was she feeling so sad? Those were the questions that linger on her mind as she stared out of the window. "Drive to the nearest Park," She said to him, and he glanced at her before he nodded his head, and once he got to the junction ahead, he turned the car and took the route to the Park. The journey to the Park took about fifteen minutes before they arrived. "Just give me some time alone. I'll be back," She said to him before she hopped out of

    Chapter 29 "You look gorgeous," Tate complimented her as he glanced at her through the visor, but she only faked a smile and looked out through the window. Those words? Well, it had been long she last heard that. It has been so long that she could barely remember who said those words to her in her lifetime. "What is my tomorrow's schedule?" She asked, breaking the awkward silence that assumed the atmosphere minutes ago, and he sighed. "I am not that smart to memorize your schedule. You are going to be hanging out with your dad, so why don't you just stay focused and think about the date? It's going to be sad if you go there and have your mind somewhere else," Tate said reasonably, and she nodded her head. The rest of the drive was silent that Tate was almost regretting saying those words to her earlier. "We are here," His voice brought her out of his deep thoughts, and she looked out of the window to find out that they were already in front of the restaurant.

    Chapter 30 "What should I do, Mason? You know the chairman and what he is capable of doing. He is going to skin me alive if I don't get her back in a few days. I don't have much time left. What should I do?" Knoxville asked as he sank into the couch in his living room. It was Wednesday today, and he was supposed to be in the office , but he didn't just feel like being there. After the incident in the company last time where his employees were snitching on him, he hadn't felt like going there anymore, although he knew he would eventually have to. "I don't know. I warned you about this before but you never wanted to listen to me. So, why are consulting me for help now?" Mason asked as he shrugged while rolling his pair of blue eyes. He knotted his thick eyebrows together as he leaned forward. "Don't tell me you are thinking of telling me to go to talk to her on your behalf," Mason asked as he batted his long eyelashes, and he sighed briefly. "Come on, Mason. There is

    Chapter 31 Next day Aliyah woke up early in the morning and got dressed since she would be going to the company where her dad asked her to go for an audition today. As she stood in front of the mirror minutes later, she rubbed her hands on her flat stomach and sighed briefly. "How are you doing, baby? Mommy is doing her best to get a life for us," She whispered and sighed briefly. Finally reaching out for her handbag that was laying on the center table, she checked herself out in the mirror one time before she finally turned and walked out of the room, closing the door gently behind her. The aroma coming from the kitchen welcomed her as she descended the staircase, and she needed no one to tell her that Tate was at it again. As a matter of fact, she was feeling bad for Tate. No matter she looked at it, she still felt like it was unfair for him to be her bodyguard. "Good morning, ma'am," He greeted her as she walked into the Kitchen minutes later. He was weari

She mumbled as she finally managed to sit up on the bed, rubbing her fingers gently on her forehead while groaning in pain. Knox has traveled on a business trip since three days and she was left here by herself all alone. Her Mom only comes by once in a while, and now that Tate's fiancee is pregnant and also they were planning to get married, he didn't have enough time to come by. Mason has been busy with work and his girlfriend too, while Janice and Lee traveled on a honeymoon trip to Italy, so she was left here all alone by herself. "I should've just gone with Knox," she regretted her hesitance to go with Knox when he asked her to.

No reason to worry when her husband leaves the house, no need to worry that some assassin might break into the house and harm her. There was nothing to worry about, but most importantly, having her parents alive and healthy was what she was most grateful for, but it hurts knowing that her stepdad died protecting her Mom. He never deserved to die.The sound of the shower in the bathroom finally stopped after a while, and the door opened, revealing Knox. His body was dripping wet and his hair was damp. He had a white towel wrapped around his waist and a little bulge down there."Hey..." He smiled brightly as he walked over to the closet and picked out his robe, dropping it

We are in this together," Tate cupped her cheek in his palms and assured her, looking into her eyes. As planned, Shirley was going to move in to live with Mrs. Andrews. This was the only thing she could do, she was determined to do it earlier, but now that she was here, her fear was already taking over her. What if her plans fail later? What if she ends up getting thrown out of the house? What if she insists that she can't marry her son? What will become of her."I told you there's nothing to worry about. Why do you look so scared like my Mom is a masquerade," He pinched her cheeks playfully, but deep inside he knew that there was really need for her to be worried knowing the kind of tough person his Mom was."Come on, smile for me," He uttered, and she forced a smile."Wait while I go get your things from

    Chapter 144A few days later Knox pulled over at the parking lot of the restaurant and stepped out of the car. He then proceeded toward the entrance door, and found Janice waiting for him as soon as he walked inside. She had texted him yesterday and asked them to meet at the restaurant this morning so they could talk about something important, and that had made him curious since last night as many negative thoughts won't stop coming to his mind. Did she change her mind about turning herself in? That was one of the questions he kept asking himself, but he would soon find out about it, anyway."Hi! Did I keep you waiting?" He asked when he got to where she was seated, pulling out the chair across from her and settling in it."Not really. Good morning," She forced a smile at him, tucking her hair behind her ear. She was cladded in a short black armless gown and a pair of black heels like someone going to a funeral."Why is she dressed in all black? Is she planning to do something evil?"

Janice stared at her reflection in the mirror, trying everything she could to hold back her tears. It was a great day for her, a day she should push all the negative energies away and focus on her man so they could have fun to the fullest, but knowing that this moment won't last long for them was something she couldn't hold herself back for."It's ok, Janice. You already said you were going to enjoy the remaining days to the fullest. You said that you won't let anything tamper with your joy," She assured herself, fighting back the tears that already brimmed in her eyes."Yeah... There you go," She whispered as she leaned forward and cleaned her tears, adding some makeup to cover up her eyebags."Yes!

How they were able to survive until now was still like a miracle she couldn't comprehend, and she could only be grateful to her maker for being there for her all along. If anyone ever told her that the one behind the shit that has happened to her was her stepmom, she would've been the last person to believe it.

She looked horrible, but that was the least of the things she cared about at the moment. Her husband and Mom were in the ER fighting for their lives and she was hoping they'd survive it."Just this once, please... Please spare them for me. Please don't take them away from me," She fell to her knees and prayed silently, hoping he'd prayers would be answered. At least just this once.The sound of her ringing phone pulled her attention, and if not that the call was from her dad's maid, then she wouldn't have answered it. "Ma... ma'am Aliyah... There is a problem. Mr. Arnaldo... Blood... He...he was shot," The feminine voice quivered at the other end, and her heart sank into her stomach. Her jaw dropped."Wh... what did you say?"

    Chapter 140 Mr. Arnaldo paced restlessly along the hospital hallway, worried about Rebecca who was in the ER, fighting for her life. Why was this happening? Who was behind everything that has been happening? He asked himself, running his fingers through his hair, but couldn't come up with any answer, so he sighed deeply. Knox was also present in the hospital, and Aliyah too was worried. She was sitting on the bench and burying her face between her palms, crying her eyes out. She has just lost her foster Dad, and it hurts. "Babe, you need to be strong, ok?" Knox tried to comfort her, sitting beside her and wrapping his arm around her shoulder, but more tears came streaming down her cheeks. "What should I do, Knox? Why is everything falling apart?" She cried, and he wished he could provide an answer to her question.
