I ventured, my heart pounding slightly as I initiated the conversation. "Ah, you know, just caught up in the whirlwind of life. The business has been keeping me busy. I even got myself a new house. Hoping to step away from your hotels soon," Ronald replied casually, a hint of playfulness in his voice. "Sure thing, but you know, I'd be lying if I said I'm excited about you leaving," I admitted, a soft smile playing on my lips. "It's not about you. I'm just trying to carve my path without the complications of a deceitful mobster," I responded, my tone tinged with seriousness and resignation. "Well, I must say, you look fantastic," Ronald interjected, attempting to shift the focus away. And he succeeded. "Thank you," I replied with a grateful smile. "Yeah... Seeing you here is a bit

Dee's Point of View: Growing up without my father was a void I carried for years. It wasn't until recently that I finally embarked on a quest to find him, to unravel the missing pieces of my identity. During my final year of high school, fate intervened, leading me to my father's doorstep. Ronald, of all people, unwittingly played a role in revealing the truth that had eluded me for so long. This past week has been a whirlwind of emotions, ranging from the highest to the lowest. Meeting my father for the first time was both exhilarating and terrifying. It dredged up feelings I never knew existed and shed light on the actions that had shaped my life—actions that were both protective and questionable, yet somehow understandable. My upbringing was defined by my firm, independent mother, who instilled in me the values of self-sufficiency, education, and self-preservation. Her teachings propelled me forward, encouraging me to explore the world and stand independently. Yet, beneath the su

I paced anxiously outside the doctor's office, trying to make sense of the unfolding situation. How did everything spiral out of control so quickly? I couldn't wrap my head around the events that led to Divine being rushed to the hospital. Finally, the doctor emerged, and I wasted no time bombarding him with questions. I needed answers to understand what had happened to the woman I loved. "What seems to be the problem with her, Doctor Jones?" I asked, my voice trembling with worry. The doctor sighed, clearly concerned. "Well, I've conducted some tests, and it appears she's pregnant. But I'm trying to determine the cause of her current condition." Should we wait for her to wake up and provide more information?" I suggested, desperately hoping for some clarity. The doctor shook his head. "She needs rest. I've administered medication to help her sleep. We'll have to rely on you for more details." Reluctantly, I realized I had no choice but to share what I knew. The doctor needed the

As consciousness gradually reasserted itself, I found myself ensconced in the sterile environment of a hospital room. The low murmurs of medical professionals drifted around me, their words a distant blur against the backdrop of my fragmented thoughts. My last coherent memory was the heart-wrenching image of my father's tragic demise, a surreal and painfully vivid reality. Struggling to make sense of my surroundings, I strained to eavesdrop on the hushed conversations of the medical staff. Their deliberations centred around medication and treatment plans, their significance clouded by my groggy state. As the haze began to lift, I summoned the strength to address the doctor who stood by my bedside, seeking clarity amidst the fog of my confusion. "What's happening?" I managed to croak, my voice feeble yet tinged with urgency. The doctor's demeanour shifted from concern to sympathy and relief as he responded, "You've been through quite an ordeal, Divine. But rest assured, the procedure

She's more than just someone I care about; she's become an essential part of my world. Despite the complexities of our situation, her absence feels like a void that can't be filled. With Tola in the mix, I'm balancing on a tightrope, trying to keep everyone happy while holding onto my sanity. Dee occupies my thoughts relentlessly. She's on my left, slipping away like sand through my fingers. I can't force her to stay, nor can I mend the wounds I've inflicted on her heart.
