CHAPTER ELEVEN

The Return of The Scorned Heiress/Catherine Creel

Getting an invite for Janet’s baby shower was unexpected, I wasn’t someone she could call a friend as we were never close even as sister in laws.She was in a difficult time and she needed all the love and support she could get from me even after all she did to me while I was still married to her brother. I guess it was time for a clean slate.“Oh my God, Imelda, thank you for coming.”Janet said, happily as soon as she saw me coming into the guest lounge with gifts.“Thank you for inviting me.”I smiled, hugging her.“You can keep the gifts over there, there’s cocktails and cupcakes if you’d like.”She told me. It was strange seeing her nice to me but refreshing, like a fresh start.“Thank you.”I said to her.There were a few ladies present too, none were familiar. There were also gifts and the whole place decorated in a pink flowery theme.“It’s a girl?”I asked her.“Yes.”She replied, happy.She had two boys already so she must be excited to have a baby girl.“And

The Return of The Scorned Heiress/Catherine Creel

My grandmother was the only mother figure in my life, she was the only person that truly loved my old self and my new one, she stood up for me when no one else did.She was all I really had in the world and my greatest fear was losing her.“Grandmother please be strong for me.”I sobbed, holding her stiff soft hands. The doctor said she might recover in a couple of days but what if she didn’t?“She’ll be fine, love.”Gabriel was beside me, holding me in his arms.

He was my husband and not the boss of me.“You know, I could stay.”Gabriel said as we stood by his car.“No, you have to go home.

My grandmother was buried alongside my parents’ grave.It was so hard seeing all three tombstones, It was like everyone I knew was gone. I felt alone in the world because I was alone and it was pretty terrifying.“You’re not alone.”A voice said behind me.I turned around and there was Gabriel in all black standing with an umbrella above his head. It was raining and I didn’t care because I was crying so much.“They’re all gone.”I sobbed as he walked to me and shielded me from the rain.“I’m here.”He whispered.We stood in silence, watching the tombstones in the rain for a while. Life was so unpredictable.He led me back to his car and drove us to a nearby coffee shop.“How do you feel about a trip?”Gabriel suddenly asked as we carefully sipped our cups of hot coffee.“I don’t know, I haven’t thought about that.”I replied.“Janet’s planning to travel for a few weeks.
