CHAPTER 21

I stood frozen, as though I had just encountered a ghost. The man before me was no other person than Felix, the one I once loved and almost married—the same one who abandoned me on the altar three years ago. And now, here he was, standing before me, smiling broadly as if nothing had transpired between us."Mommy, who is there?" Olivia asked as she ran towards me.Still speechless, I involuntarily pulled her close, while Oliver joined us a moment later."Mommy, who is this?" Oliver asked, his eyes staring into mine, expecting a response.“It’s... it's a friend of mine," I struggled to say, stammering. My voice betrayed my uneasiness."How are you, kids?" he said, waving and smiling at them."Fine," they chorused. "What are you doing here?" I demanded steely, as I managed to maintain my composure."Judith, can I at least come in?" He asked softly, still smiling, and I was already getting infuriated. I don't seem to understand what the smile was all about."Come in," I said, and I move

CHAPTER 22

"How dare you try to jeopardise the business deal I've been pursuing tirelessly for months?" John shouted furiously the moment I entered the office. "John, I'm not trying to sabotage the deal. I'm simply not funding it," I responded calmly, while unbuttoning my suit. "I you have the resources, then you can do the business.".“You seem to forget I'm also an Everton; I shouldn't be begging for business funds like this," he retorted, slamming the table with his fist."Don't you dare try to create a nuisance in my office. I'm not going to tolerate your presence and your shady business deals anymore," I snapped back, my patience wearing out gradually."You are an Everton, and you should start behaving like one. All Evertons are smart and resourceful. If you present a better business proposal, then I will support you and give you all the funds you need," I said with a note of finality, settling into my chair."You are going to regret this, Nathan. I'm going to pay you back in ten folds

CHAPTER 23

Recently, following Nathan's discussion of marriage, I found my thoughts instinctively preoccupied with the events of the past.**Four years ago**In the luxurious and beautifully furnished living room, Felix and I were entangled in each other's arms, his hands delicately fondling my breasts, and fully engrossed in a movie. Our beautiful moment was interrupted by a knock on the door. It was Davy, Felix's gateman.He requested an audience with Felix, to which Felix obliged and reluctantly disentangled from the embrace and walked towards the door with the intention of attending to him by the door since I was just in diaphanous lingerie."Who is it?" Felix enquired, his voice resonating with calm authority.It's me, "Davy."However, upon unlocking the door, we were met with an unexpected and horrific sight. Davy wasn't alone. The situation went sour when five masked men, reeking of alcohol and cigarettes, stormed in. Davy was knocked unconscious by a heavy blow on the head, his body coll

CHAPTER 24

Judith's POVI am not entirely convinced that agreeing to marry Nathan is the best course of action. Although I am uncertain about my own desires, I'm definitely reluctant about entering into marriage. Marriage is no child's play, as it is a serious commitment that requires considerable effort and dedication, qualities that I'm not sure I possess.I shared the development with my mother and Vanessa, and they were both delighted to hear about it.“I’m so happy for you, Judith. I'm glad to see you are finally moving forward," mom said excitedly. “You have my blessings, my dear," she added before ending the call.“Oh! My girl is about to become a wife!" Vanessa exclaimed. "When is the wedding date?" She asked with a sense of urgency.“Calm down, Van; he hasn't even proposed yet; he just wants to know my opinion about it. To know if I'm open to it," I replied.“And what is your opinion, girl?” She asked, her tone now composed.“I don't know, Van. Honestly, I'm unsure of what I truly want,

CHAPTER 25

Nathan's POV "Are you certain that you really love this woman?” Father enquired as we retreated into his study."Yes, father, I am deeply in love with her,” I answered affirmatively.“I’m not going to object to it. I understand that there's a huge difference in class, but since you are so resolute and genuine in your affection towards her, I'm going to support it," he declared.“Thanks so much, father. "I thanked him. “I hope you will be able to protect and love her better than I did for your mother,” he said, his expression sorrowful. “Your mother went through a lot with my family. She was humiliated, but despite all that, she stood by me still. When I was told she eloped with another man, I should have tried to look for her and ascertain the truth," he lamented with regret.“I was a fool. I didn't trust my woman enough. I wish I could turn back the hands of time; I would have made a better choice. She wouldn't have died just like that,” he said, and he adjusted his glasses. ”I hop

CHAPTER 26

Felix’s POV“The managing director of Everton Medicals, Nathan Everton, just proposed to his girlfriend with a diamond ring worth several thousand euros in a five-star hotel. His girlfriend, Judith Summers, is an exceptionally beautiful woman, and she agreed to his proposal. We wish them a lifetime of happiness," I overheard the reporter say from the television in the bar where I was seated, drunk and wasted."Hey, bring me more drinks!" I shouted, my voice filled with intoxication.It was so difficult to believe that Judith wouldn't even give me the chance to explain myself, let alone consider the notion of reuniting. She seemed so different; she isn't naive anymore. She must have gotten stronger after her ordeal. After all, who would go through such an experience and not become tougher?The fact that my feelings for her remain vehemently left me in a devastating state. No matter how much I try to forget her, I find my thoughts drifting back to her, longing for and constantly concern

CHAPTER 27

John presented the paternity test results before me, and to my uttermost surprise, it was a match. The realisation that he had been the one who had invaded our home and assaulted Judith wasn't anything I could have imagined in a thousand years. The mere possibility of it was unthinkable.I found it difficult to believe, but the evidence was right in front of me. I felt a mix of emotions for Judith—on the one hand, a surge of happiness, and on the other, profound sympathy for Judith. Her wedding wasn't going to be held again. For the second time, she would be heartbroken. I was torn between pity and an unknown selfish satisfaction.Nathan Everton disrupted our wedding, and now he wants to marry the same woman. No wonder the affection and care for the kids were so evident—they were his own after all. Judith is unaware, and I'm sure she envisioned him as a kind man."How do you get the samples? I asked, and my curiosity piqued.“I’m an Everton; I always get whatever I want,” he replied w

CHAPTER 28

Judith’s POV Nathan proposed to me at one of the luxurious five-star hotels in London. The media, an event planner, a live band, and almost everyone significant in society were involved since I was about to get married to the most eligible bachelor in London."Would you do me the honour of marrying me and making me a complete man?” He asked as he got on one knee, holding an exquisitely crafted diamond ring. According to the media, the ring could easily purchase two Rolls-Royces."Yes, I will," I replied, slipping the ring onto my finger as the music band played a serenade.It was beautiful beyond anything I had ever imagined—Nathan had shown another side of himself I hadn’t seen before or ever expected, one filled with romance. I felt immensely grateful for his gift.Even the twins were so happy. They came to love Nathan and relied greatly on him. They were so glad I'm getting married and that they would also gain a father.Everything unfolded at a fast pace; it hasn't even been up t

CHAPTER 29

How I managed to get home still amazes me. My hands trembled, but I tried to maintain composure as I still refused to believe Felix. I felt like he was just trying to keep us apart and sabotage our wedding, yet the certainty in his tone and the conviction engraved on his face left me unsettled."Hey, babe, where have you been? Nathan asked, his face overshadowed with worry. I stood there, momentarily speechless, scrutinising his face as if I could somehow detect the truth from his expression."Judith?""Judith?""Judith," he called out, gently shaking me from my stupor.“Yes," I answered, snapping back to reality.“Are you okay, baby? You look exhausted,” he asked, his voice etched with deep concern.“Yes, I'm fine, baby. Just a little rest will do," I said, forcing a convincing smile."The housekeeper told me you went out. Where have you been?" he asked again, his concern unwavering."Yes, I went out for a walk. I was bored indoors,” I lied, hoping my voice and expression didn't betr

CHAPTER 30

Nathan's POV Life has never been so favourable for me. I have never experienced such happiness as I have recently. Getting engaged to Judith has made me a content and fulfilled man, which I scarcely believed was possible. I was scared while proposing to her, fearing that she might reject my proposal since she seemed so sceptical about marriage. A great surge of relief washed up on me when I slid the ring into her fingers. Now we are about to get married.Preparations for the wedding have already started, and in less than a month, we will be finally and legally married. It seems too good to be true. It all feels almost surreal, like a dream I wouldn't want to wake from. At long last, I will be with the woman I have always cherished and desired.Yet, despite my happiness, it has been clouded by constant fear and discord. The assault case keeps drifting into my mind, changing my mood. My father's words resonate in my ears: "Secrets always have a way of coming out in the end." I need to
