All Chapters of Stolen heaven : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"You won't be dying on my watch" Abraham wrenched the knife from her hand as his blood spilt on her.With shaking hands, Rissa dropped it and stared at his bleeding hand in disbelief.Abraham hissed loudly and scrunched up his nose. "I wouldn't be able to tend to the garden for somedays”, he muttered to himself." What! Is that even the problem, for goodness sake? You are bleeding!" she thundered and quickly made for the first aid box in the shelf corner." You thought it would be easy when you decided to take your life”, he retorted, rolling his eyes.Rissa scoffed "Who told you to meddle then?" she spat out at him while dabbing his wounded palm with wool and antiseptic." Should I have watched you die?" He retorted arching his chin up her face.Rissa drew back, feeling nauseated from the garlic smell he emitted “It is all done”, she announced after bandaging his hand." You should have”, Rissa said out of the blue, taking him by surprise." Pardon?" he responded baffled, " I said yo

The angry blaring of her bedside alarm jolted Rissa from her sleep; she adjusted her soft pillow, covering her ears from it.To her ultimate surprise, she felt a tingling sensation in her stomach, and she rubbed her hand over her baby bump.She felt a stronger jab, and her eyes flew open instantly. "My baby just kicked!" she soliloquized in disbelief.The strong jab occurred again and she laughed excitedly "he kicked!" she shouted joyfully and rolled out of her bed.Her joy knew no bounds at that; it's been two months since her suicidal attempt, and her mother's friends have been supportive.Abraham made it his duty to check up on her every day after work, and Mariah brought her snacks daily.She picked up her phone to share the news with Mariah, but unfortunately, she didn't pick up.Rissa trotted into the kitchen to make herself breakfast and was humming her favourite Taylor Swift breakup song as usual.For a short time, her mind drifted to Liam, but she shook it off instantly; his

" Diane Donaldson, will you marry me?" Liam had suddenly popped the question while on his bended knees.Diane felt like the world was at a standstill, waiting for her to make the first move; she watched blankly as all faces pleaded desperately along with Liam.She felt like a Cinderella in her designer comfy shoes, and amusingly enough, Liam doesn't fall short of a Prince charming." Yes! Yes!" She screamed excitedly as all hands jammed together, and Liam took her slim fingers into his; he slipped a diamond ring into her finger.Surprising breaths were drawn from other female onlookers, "this ring must cost more than my annual earnings," Diane thought to herself, smiling satisfactorily.She hugged Liam tightly and kissed him with enthusiasm; never in her life had she expected her fantasy to become a reality after all.Not just dining with prominent personalities but getting married to a billionaire CEO who is extremely charming." I love you”, she whispered into Liam's ears, which he

" I was betrothed to someone”, Liam said calmly, maintaining eye contact with Diane, whose heart shattered immediately." Not anymore... Diane.. not anymore, I swear," Liam added, shaking his outstretched wrist dismissively.Diane was dumbfounded; she buried her head in her hand and ruffled her lustrous hair, disappointed.Her newly bestowed diamond ring felt heavy all of a sudden.Diane summoned all the courage she could muster and looked Liam in the eye." Who?" she asked hoping desperately his response won't fit with her suspicion."Amber, her name is Amber, she is....." Liam started but Diane hastily interjected." The fashion blogger?" She asked in disbelief, and Liam nodded in affirmation, confirming her fear.Her mind wandered off to the lady's attitude towards her at the proposal party." And you still invited her to the proposal!" She screamed out loudly " I didn't Diane, I was surprised to see her in attendance but we weren't an item anymore so I didn't think much of it," L

" You cannot be resting at a crucial time like this, Miss Stonebridge,” the Asian supervisor shouted nettled. " I am sorry… was ...I mean I got lightheaded," Rissa pleaded desperately The man eyed her with disdain, and he stormed out of the processing department, muttering inaudible words to himself. Rissa nodded her head pitifully, and she felt tears brewing behind her sardonic eyes. " Ignore him, Rissa; he is a sadist who despises everyone else but himself," an older colleague said reassuringly, and they both laughed. " Thank you granny" Rissa responded pleasantly " Take all the time you need, young lady; he is just an awful jerk who knows nothing about pregnancy,” another woman contributed. Rissa's mood lifted slightly as she felt the loving support all around her, she joined the fruit processing department as a contractual manual worker to earn a weekly wage. She stood up abruptly as she noticed the Asian supervisor walking back into the department. He walked so
