FORTY ONE

CHAPTER FORTY ONE**The sound of her ring tone jolted Faith from a dreamless slumber. Her eyes fluttered open to the sound of the rain, the weather outside was gloomy. What a great way to start the day! She couldn't complain much about it as it suited her depressed mood quietly. Her eyes located her cellphone which had stopped ringing. There were about three missed calls, all from her brother. She was still wondering what the problem could be when it rang again. "Hello." She answered while shoving off the bed covers and getting out of the bed. There was a loud sigh at the other end of the line. "Why weren't you answering?! Do you know how anxious I was? After what happened, I thought something might have happened to you as well!" A puzzled expression spread across Faith's face as she dashed into the bathroom for a pee that couldn't wait. "What happened? Why would anything happen to me? I'm fine!" It couldn't be that her brother had gotten to know about her fight with Ste

CHAPTER FORTY TWO

CHAPTER FORTY TWO**Sterling's eyes flickered open when a knock sounded, followed by the sound of the door being nudged open. A scowled passed across his features, he'd specifically requested that he didn't want to be disturbed.For a blink of a second, he had even hoped that__"Thank you, Nora." Sterling's grimace deepened as he watched Rex wink at the nurse who was smiling way too wide, she walked away, closing the door behind her as she did. "Why is it you again? I don't want to see anyone, you may leave!" Sterling gritted, a look of irritation flaring in his eyes. His whole body felt itchy. His head ached terribly. He despised the sound of the heart monitor and the sickening smell of antiseptic, each movement hurt and he was left with no choice but to be confined to the bloody bed! That was not even half of everything he was feeling!Why didn't they understand that the best thing they could do was fucking leave me alone? His glare followed Rex as he casually relaxed on t

CHAPTER FORTY THREE

CHAPTER FORTY THREE**Faith brushed her teeth furiously and started to rinse her mouth. She still fumed each time she recalled Emilia's phone call last evening. The nerve of her! She was starting to believe that Emilia was mentally unstable, she already won as she wanted, why did she continue to pester her life? She splashed water on her face and rinsed her mouth again.The morning sickness was the only reminder that she was still pregnant. A lot had happened in the last 48 hours, and she had barely put her mind to thinking about what she wanted. She quickly got dressed, this time she had completely made up her mind. After cursing herself throughout the last night for being a complete coward, she had made the decision to visit Sterling in the hospital, it didn't matter if he didn't remember who she was, she couldn't pretend that she hated and did not care about him for any longer. Perhaps seeing him once would lessen the burden of the ever-present ache in her heart. The cab

CHAPTER FORTY FOUR

CHAPTER FORTY FOUR**Faith hurried out of the grocery store, casting a worried glance above, the sky which was blue a few minutes ago has now been surrounded by thick angry grey clouds. She instinctively wrapped her arms around herself as a cold wind swept by, luckily, it didn't take long for the taxi to stop in front of her. She muttered the directions to the driver who sped off. Faith heard the screams of confrontations before she even stepped into the living room. Her eyes scanned the messy living room which smelled like cigarettes and alcohol. Scrunching her nostrils, her body stiffened when she heard the soft muffled sounds. Her eyes quickly located the source and her heart jumped in her throat, amidst the seas of clothes gathered on the old-looking sofa was the baby! Anger pierced through her heart as she snatched the clothes covering almost half of his face, his little face was red and the cries were louder. God! He'd been suffocating!Carrying him in her arms, she

CHAPTER FORTY FIVE

CHAPTER FORTY FIVE**Faith heard the sound of the door opening, and then the footsteps.Her eyes squinted when bright light suddenly invaded.A distressed groan escaped her mouth, she wasn't ready to get up from the alluring comfort of her bed and pillows just yet. "Close the windows!" She muttered without opening her eyes. The person didn't obey, what she felt next was the sheets around her being pulled away and next her brother's jolting words."For how long did you plan to sleep? Your doctor's appointment is in thirty minutes!" Her eyes fluttered open slowly, of course, she knew that today was her last consultation with the doctor before her expected delivery date. She was simply feeling quite lazy this morning. "Can I not go today? I believe I'm perfectly fine, I would know if there's anything wrong." "You said the same thing the last time as well, this is for your own good, and after today's appointment, you'll be free!"Faith had to remind herself that today was indeed th

CHAPTER FORTY SIX

CHAPTER FORTY SIX**"Ma'am, are you okay? Do you need help?" The taxi driver was kind enough to offer. Faith's expression was distressed as she got out of the car and into the house.Perhaps Rex wouldn't recognize her? She dared to hope but the reality was certain.Who was she kidding?!Why would he come to the hospital in the first place?! What if Sterling got to know that__A sudden pain in her abdomen tore a gasp out of her mouth. Her palms grabbed her stomach when the pain hit stronger. She had experienced contractions before, but they had never felt so intense as it was at this moment And it didn't seem to be stopping. Maybe if she sat down__That thought was put on hold when her cellphone vibrated. Relief hit when she saw it was Julian. "Julian, I think I__""Faith, are you there? I think we might return a little late, the traffic is crazy__ What's wrong? Are you okay?" His tone instantly changed to one of worry, probably hearing her heavy pants. "Julian! Where are you

FORTY SEVEN

CHAPTER FORTY SEVEN**"I'm Mr. Cray from the Children protecting agency." The man glanced briefly at the middle-aged-looking woman standing beside him."This is Mrs. Lee, my partner."Faith stared at the ID card that was extended toward her. Faith's eyes bore confusion, she couldn't think of a reason why they would be here to see her. Why were they here to see her? Her eyes immediately wandered to the nurses who were only some distance away, there was something about their stares that made Faith instantly nervous and uncomfortable. They had also behaved suspiciously some minutes ago when they had taken Maya away. Faith had assumed Maya had been taken away because she had been very weak, they took her away in the meantime to take good care of her baby, right? "Without wasting much of our time, let's get down to why we are here!" Mrs. Lee started, her red-coated thin lips pressed in an unappreciative line. "From your lifestyle, I'm sure you already know you are unfit to be a

CHAPTER FORTY EIGHT

CHAPTER FORTY EIGHT**Faith lowered her eyes back to the ground, her chest tight with dread. She didn't want to acknowledge the possibility that her thoughts were probably right. She took a halting breath against the nervousness that seemed to choke her and keep her body paralyzed.It had to be Sterling Hunter! The man she had tried too hard to forget even though each moment of her pregnancy had reminded her of him. The same man who had carved his very path into her life and soul, then destroyed what she had once thought to be pure. Her idea had been pretty simple. She would hide from him forever and continue to gather the broken pieces of her life back together. She simply wanted a comfortable and happy life with the baby he had wanted so badly. The child she had been manipulated to bear but had managed to become the most important aspect of her life.She loved her child with her whole heart even though she couldn't forget the things her father did.Now, he took Maya away f

CHAPTER FORTY NINE

CHAPTER FORTY NINE**Faith felt as though an invisible hand was tightly gripping her lungs. The buildings and the scenery felt all too familiar. She couldn't tear her eyes away from the mansion in front of her. This was the place she had dared to call home. To think that it was only a few months ago! The security team had easily permitted her through. Faith couldn't tell if it was because they recognized her as Sterling's ex-wife, or was it Sterling that ordered it because he knew she would come. The thought spread a wave of shiver through her whole body. She took in a deep breath to calm her nerves. She was surprised when the door flew open only after the first ring. It wasn't Sterling who was staring right at her. "Mrs. Sterling! Oh goodness! What a pleasant surprise!" It was Mrs. Esther, the housekeeper. Her eyes were wide in astonishment, her lips curving into the brightest of smiles. "H_Hi Mrs. Est__" Faith barely started when she was suddenly enveloped in the woma

CHAPTER FIFTY

CHAPTER FIFTY**"Why do I need to tell you anything? Maya is not your child! You are not her father!!"Sterling's eyes flashed furiously even though he was certain that the words that left her mouth were all fucking lies. The anxious glances she was casting, her nervous stutter, and her pale complexion easily gave it all away. The thought maddened him even more. Why was she was still lying to him even now?She had never wanted him to know, if he hadn't found out, she would never have told him! Maya. That was his child's name! It was a beautiful name just like the little angel.His heart throbbed in a way he'd never felt, it was a different kind of sensation, it was foreign but he welcomed it wholeheartedly. She had existed. The little life he had created. He watched the mother of his child, she was fucking more beautiful than he remembered, the dull ache he had felt in his chest when she had first stormed inside only fueled the rage boiling inside of him. She had fucking d
