KACE’S POV“ Come to the Manor tomorrow with Tess. We are gonna have a family meeting. I already called Drake and Triss. Don’t be late “ My mom said coldly before she ended the call without waiting for Kace to even say a word.When I picked up my call and my mom didn’t let me speak before she ended the call, I was shocked because she had never behaved this way before. She sounded so cold.Or had something happened again? What could be the problem this time around? I instantly lost my good mood. Even when Tessa tried to comfort me I acted like I was okay but deep down I wasn’t.I was worried because I knew something was wrong but the fact I was being kept in suspense was killing me!! I felt frustrated.We got into the car and I drove off. The ride was silent because I was not in the mood to talk at all. I was too busy thinking about how tomorrow would turn out to be.When we got home I refused to eat and went into our bedroom leaving Lia and Tess standing in the sitting room. I agree m

KACE’S POV“ Tell us everything “ I managed to say to my mom with great difficulty. From my countenance, one could tell that I was trying to keep calm.When I heard her say she isn't my biological mother, I thought she was joking but when she was adamant about what she said, reality began to sink in my head.So is this the reason why she never showered me with motherly love? Is this the reason why she never really cared about me and left Nanny Agatha to be the one who literally raised me since childhood?My dad was shocked too and I knew he was feeling betrayed. I wish I could only feel betrayed but I was hurting more.“ When I was newly married into the Crawford family, it was taking much time for me to get pregnant and your dad’s mother was always insulting me that I couldn't carry out a simple task of getting pregnant. She began to call me a man since I was unable to get pregnant. I couldn't take the insults anymore so I pretended to be pregnant and always wore a fake baby bump. On

TESSA’S POV That’s strange, where are the cars? Even though Kace drove off in his dad’s Jeep, isn't our car supposed to be here for me to drive home? I dialed Kace’s number severally but he didn’t pick up. I frowned and continued to dial his number but he didn’t pick up. I sighed and called Eliana instead.“ Hey sis, please can you come pick me up from Doctor Vincent’s hospital? “ I asked her immediately after she picked up the call.“ I’m coming right away, “ Eliana said without hesitation and ended the call. From the way she spoke, I guess she heard the news of Kace being an adopted son. I stood waiting for Eliana while thinking about where Kace might have gone to. Why wasn’t he picking up my calls? That was so unlike him.I know he said he needed some alone time but the Kace I know would never ignore my calls no matter what. Was he in danger? No, I don’t think so. I decided to let him be knowing he would still come back home.Eliana drove into the hospital premises ten minutes l

TESSA’S POV“ What's wrong with both of you? I have been trying to call Kace, but he isn’t picking his calls. Come to the company this instant. Kace’s mom and Drake are in the meeting hall as we speak. The board of directors wants to make Drake the CEO!! '' Eliana said in an alarmed voice.“ What!! “ I exclaimed with widened eyes. I was shocked at what I just heard.How could Kace’s mom be this heartless? Her husband was in the hospital laying down unconscious and she still had the nerve to pursue power, instead of being in the hospital with her husband. Gosh!!!“ I'll be there right away “ I replied to her and ended the call. I rushed into the bathroom and was done bathing within ten minutes.I knew that this would happen but I didn't know that Kace’s mom would do it this quickly. Today, they were gonna see the ruthless and intimidating side of me. There is no way that I would let Drake take my husband's position in the company, I thought to myself while I dressed up.Unlike other d

TESSA’S POVI cleaned the tears on my face before turning to see who it was. Then maybe I would think if I would whine the window glass down or not. But I paused when I saw the face that I least wanted to see right now.I paused as I looked at Kace knocking continuously on my door. My face hardened when I looked at him and recalled the pictures of him and Caroline in bed.I turned on the ignition of the car and zoomed off not minding that he was still standing there and also not missing the surprised look on his face. I didn't see the need to live with him anymore since I knew the real him now.*******************************************I arrived at the house and went straight upstairs to pack all my belongings from our bedroom. I made sure I didn't leave a single belonging of mine in his house and I was quick about it because I didn't want him to come home and see me. I couldn't stand the sight of him anymore. I brought my luggage downstairs and singlehandedly kept them all in my c
