151 - What's next

(Karis's pov) Skyler fell asleep by my side before he realized everything might have taken a toll on him. I was unable to sleep because my mind was busy thinking about what was next now that Valeria was here. My gaze stuck on the white ceiling. Skyler mentioned before that we were going to France for a short vacation immediately after I was cleared to be able to travel. I was wondering if maybe I would just stay in France and attend a fashion school to improve my skills. Although Sapphire praised my skills, I knew there was still something missing. It didn't give me that feeling my mother's designs gave me. The door creaked open drawing my attention from my thoughts. Skyler was not a deep sleeper so he was woken up from his short slumber. "I hope I am not interrupting anything." A man dressed in corporate wear, and a white lab coat came in. He was accompanied by a nurse in pink scrubs. I could immediately recognize he was the doctor who helped me deliver Valer

152 - He will never hurt me again

(Karis's pov) After relaxing a bit, Skyler left the hospital to get things prepared for Valeria's return, although he felt a guard to make sure we were safe. My hospital room was filled with chatter and a peaceful atmosphere. Esther had come to visit me after delivery. She was the only friend I made here. After surviving the accident and she became my attendant nurse we kind of clicked as friends. Inaudible blabbering came from Valeria's mouth in a cot beside me. After studying her condition for 24 hours, she was finally moved to my side. "She will be very beautiful," Esther said with sparkling eyes looking at Valeria's directions. "She has no choice, her mother is beautiful. "I said with a proud grin. It made me sound like a narcissist, somebody I knew at the back of my mind. "I am sure she will, to have you and Skyler as her parents, she will be blessed with unparalleled beauty." Esther chimed and a forced smile graced my lips. That was right; everyone thought her dad was

153 - A Hopeless Jerk

(Xander's pov) Time is very fleeting. You just wouldn't know how fast it ran by until you took a moment to stare back at how much time had gone by. 9 months, that was how long had gone by. "You should take some time to check how she is doing." Mum's sharp voice cautioned me; she had taken the liberty to come to the office to give me an ear full about treating Emma better because she was carrying my child. So she claimed but I doubt it. "She is doing fine and doesn't need to see my face," I stated, not bothering to take my attention from my laptop. I didn't have the time to entertain Emma, even though she was a bit repentant now but it was also her fault Karis was dead now. Most importantly, her pregnancy has not been confirmed to be mine; while she was pregnant, everyone went against the idea of having DNA until the baby was born, not to take any risks, so until the bastard in her stomach as been confirmed to be mine, I cared less if she was breathing or not. The onl

154 - I would never love you

(Xander's pov) I heard the baby's cry from a distance. It had been a week since Emma gave birth, and after being slapped by reality so hard, there was no way of escaping. He was my son. 4 DNA tests and not even one came out negative. I begged secretly and wished for it so badly as a means of validation that I didn't cheat on Karis but 4 DNA tests can't be lying. Kyle even ran one, and I didn't want to believe it. The last time I was here was because of Karis. Now, I was family home to see her sister's son. ' Xander you are a scumbag.' I scoffed at myself. That day after Emma gave birth I didn't go to see her. She begged and cried over the phone and even went as far as going to the estate, but the gate was closed for her. My instructions were simple: I wouldn't see her until the baby's test results were out. The rain was pouring heavily, and I didn't bat an eye to see her and had to call Mum to drag her away. Everyone started calling me heartless, then after, which was funny

155 - For ever in our hearts

(Karis's pov) Four years later I was surprised at how fast time had already passed by; I could remember my welding night like it was yesterday, but so much had changed since that day. I sat back in the back seat of the Royce Roy as it drove into the Louvre Museum, where today's event would be held. So much had happened during these past years that Karis Reynolds, who fled from her husband, was no longer the one the world knows today. "Ma'am we have arrived," the driver informed me. I subtly nodded then he drove in line to the beginning of the red carpet. The car doors opened and I emerged wearing an iconic green dress everyone knows as my signature attire. "Madam Esmeralda has arrived," one of the paparazzi screamed and so many cameras started to flash before me. My chestnut was styled and held up while I had a black shade on my face that I always wore to public events and my iconic red lipstick. That was how the world knew Madam Esmeralda, the owner of Sky

156 - A past friend

(Karis's pov) Bertha's speech made me emotional, I never expected she would dedicate such an award to me. The feeling of guilt started to trouble me because since the day of that plane crash three years ago, I had never made any contact with her, but she held me in her heart. The fashion icon award was for clothing item designers, which I was not in the category of. Although I had a clothing line, they were mainly designed by my employees. Once in a while, I designed a few dresses, but it was never my thing. My main category was the royal jeweller which was to be announced after the fashion icon award. Another important personality was called to the stage to announce the results.."the winner of the royal jeweller awards is...." The person drawled. "Even without opening this envelope, we know without a doubt the winner is Esmeralda from Sky Link." My industry name and the spotlight shown on me. A proud smile got on my smile and I graciously made my way to

157 - He isn't her daddy

(Karis's pov) The car arrived at my comfortable home in one of the most secure environments in Paris. This was Skyler's place, but I saw no need to move out since Skyler was barely around. Valeria loved spending time with him whenever he was around. Immediately, the car packed; I pulled off my heels and ran inside; the well-being of my angel was the most important thing to me. Immediately I got inside the house, I was confused as to why it was so dark, but I didn't dwell much on it. I ran towards the stairs, but I was barely two steps up when the lights were switched on, and I heard a cheerful voice from behind me. "Surprise!!!!" It was a cute girl with chestnut hair and grey eyes running towards me. My brows furrowed as she ran into my arms. She was holding a bouquet. "I thought you said you had a tummy ache." I narrowed my eyes on Valeria. She was never the type to lie about her health. "It was a lie," she grinned at me; I wondered who was teaching my angel to

158 - Still Just Friends

(Karis's pov) I stayed by Valeria's side until her breath was even and I was sure she was deep asleep. I still could not believe how fast she had grown just yesterday. I could remember how scared I was when she came into the world earlier than expected, and now she will be turning Five in a couple of months. Valeria was a perfect combination of me and Xander's features, she had my chestnut hair and his grey eyes. She was spontaneous and cheerful like me but secretly scheming like Xander. Despite the fact she reminded me of Xander and my past it didn't make me love her any less. She was my all, and I am ready to do whatever it takes to give her the future she deserves, my little angel. My lips placed a soft kiss on her forehead and I adjusted the bed covers to make sure she was properly covered. It was in the late autumn and winter might start any day from now. After making sure she was cozy enough, I walked to her room's window to shut it and cover the curtains bef

159 - sleepless nights

(Karis's pov) After laying in bed, I could not bring myself to sleep. There were so many things on my mind. I was thinking about Bertha and how she had been this past year. I had cut contact with everyone and even refused to ask Skyler how they were doing. I just wanted to focus on myself and Valeria. Nights like this I really could not help but wonder how Xander was doing. If he finally had the dream family he wanted with Emma, but I doubt they were married. There was no way Xander De Marco had gotten married after his first wife 'death', and it hadn't made headlines. The clock was ticking slowly as the night grew longer, it was always hard to sleep. I groaned and got on my feet to make my way to my dressing drawer. I searched inside for a pill bottle. After making sure it was the right bottle, I opened the container and then popped two pills into my mouth. There was a bottle of room-temperature water I always kept there. My insomnia was getting worse with each passing da

160 - Can't Move on

(Xander's pov) They say time is a measure of the passage of events, and a lot of events happened over the course of 4 years. I had successfully brought the De Marco family to the Pinnacle. I was great at my job and had a lot of accomplishments over the years but something was missing. I walked towards the tombstones that were next to each and my heart squeezed seeing the names etched on it. They were two girls who meant so much to me but were taken away by the cold hand of death. Looking at the tombstone bearing the name Alessia De Marco and the next one by its side, Karis De Marco Nee Reynolds. Despite how much time had passed, the feeling of guilt I felt never left me. They both died because of me. I was always the one who ruined whatever I valued dearly. "It's been four years already, Karis, and I wonder if you have forgiven me yet, but I guess you can never forgive a scum bag like me," I said bitterly. There was no way she could forgive me. Instead of helping get reven
