Chapter 31: Leaning Towards Positivity

" No mum! I…I don't think I can," Rissa said crossing her hand over her chest." And why is that?" Stella asked raising her chin challengingly Rissa threw her a disbelieving look "Mum! You....know ....why," she stuttered." And so?" Stella responded defiantly "Look around you young lady, you and Liam is a stale news now, people have moved past it except you" " I know but....." Rissa started " But what! Rissa, you are a vibrant thirty-year-old woman with a good degree and qualifications; I can't let you rot in this countryside; you deserve better, and he deserves better, too," she said, arching her head towards Caleb, who had dozed off already." Mum, I have nowhere to return to," Rissa said, painstaken as the thought of facing Liam surfaced in her mind.The disdainful look he threw her the last time they saw each other which was the day he divorced her." You can always start over," Stella snapped back hastily "You need to meet another man of your standard and get married""Again!!

Chapter 32: What Lies Ahead

Caleb waved endlessly after disentangling himself from his teary-eyed grandmother. " Don't worry, my sweetest, I will come visiting every time," Stella shouted after them; she busted into uncontrollable tears while leaning towards Abraham, who seemed to be in a similar sad state as she was. " Mum, we will miss the train at this rate”, Rissa said playfully, her heart heavy with affection. She held Caleb tightly and also their luggage. Finally giving in to Stella's persuasion, she decided to take the opportunity the previous Asian supervisor presented to her on a platter of gold. A chance to work her transfer to Perchy Peach headquarters in Los Angeles. Fortunately, he offered to rent out an apartment in the city to her which was his sole property all his working years. They boarded the train, found a good seat close to the left window, and settled in. Caleb's enthusiasm for travelling for the first time made it less easy on her. " Mum, can't granny travel with us?" he asked te

Chapter 33: New To The Old Realism

" Miss Stonebridge?" the stout man asked raising a questioning brow " Yes, I am”, Rissa responded instantly, plastering a pleasant smile on her tense face. " This way, please," he led her to a spacious office and requested she sit opposite him. Rissa breathed in and out, gathering her courage; her mind drifted to Caleb, whom Mandy had promised to keep busy till she returned. " In order not to waste both of our precious moments, Mr Kim had sent us a recommendation letter on the merit of working in our branch factory for six years. Am I mistaken?" he asked, raising a brow at her. " No, very accurate," Rissa responded confidently "Noted, despite that, I need to have a short interview to determine if there is accuracy in his review" Rissa nodded in understanding and braced herself for likely questions she had earlier prepared to be asked. " Your resume states that you worked at Golden Fingers at a point as a marketing manager before you joined Perchy Peach as a countryside contrac

Chapter 34: Surprise! Surprise!

" Aren't you supposed to stop me from playing video games for hours? Isn't that what babysitting is about?" Caleb asked Mandy yawning lazily." Boy! I agreed to babysit you my way, not your mum's," Mandy said, shrugging her shoulder with her focus on the cortex she was applying on her legs." I think I like your own way,” Caleb said enthusiastically, picking up candy from a pile he had already munched on." Well, I guess I will make a terrible mother after all”, Mandy responded nonchalantly.“Of course, you will make a terrible mum”, Caleb responded, showing off his missing tooth.Mandy laughed hysterically, scaring Caleb, but she threw him a reassuring smile."Your accent is funnier than your blunt remarks Caleb," she said, pinching his chubby cheeks.Caleb's eyes were focused on the video game for much longer till a knock at the door distracted him." That must be mum," he said excitedly and rushed to the door.He felt a pang of disappointment when the door swung open, and a tall, f

Chapter 35: Infested Injury

Rissa picked up a bunch of flowers and wiped it over Diane's shocked pale face." How dare you!" She screamed out her lungs staring intently into her face." I am sorry, Rissa, it just happened”, Diane shouted back and busted into uncontrollable tears.Liam stood in the distance, watching their brawl with less interest, and crossed his arm over his broad chest." I trusted you; how could you marry my lover?" Rissa shot back." You betrayed him first, remember? Now he belongs to me”, Diane responded swiftly, wiping off her tears and walking into Liam's outstretched hand.She kissed him on the lips, and Rissa rushed over to attack her when she felt shaken, and Caleb's voice rang in her ear." Mum! Mum! Mum!" Caleb called out rubbing his sleepy eyes.Rissa jolted up from her dream, her conscious mind felt bad for her silly dream." What was revenge going to serve me," she muttered to herself." Mum, I want to use the restroom," Caleb cried out sleepily. Rissa picked him up and ushered hi

Chapter 36: One Wrong Move

Diane placed a small book on her lap and scribed some words on it.She smiled satisfactorily as everything seemed to pleasure her. Her mouth twitched slightly as she thought of what else to pen down, but nothing else came to her mind.She opened her minute safe, put the small book into it, and locked it up instantly. A knock on the door jolted her out of her trance.She quickly rushed to the door and turned the knob, to her dismay, Rowen stared intently at her disdainfully." It took you long enough," he said with a hint of anger in his tone." Father, I didn't know you were back,” she said, smiling pleasantly although she felt the opposite." Were you hoping I don't return?" Rowen responded hastily getting bored of their conversations." Of course not; I am pleased to see you back, Hale and hearty.Rowen scoffed loudly, turning his back on her "I didn't come for a chitty chat; I was told you took some days off at work; are you pregnant?" he questioned bluntly." Unm... father..no,

Chapter 37: Matching Blood Drop

Adrian paced endlessly as the child was wheeled into the emergency unit." Mr Grey, we found his mother, she had been contacted," Doctor Snow said reassuringly and walked out of the waiting room swiftly.Adrian's heart thumped loudly, and he ruffled his lustrous hair, desperately hoping the media hadn't got wind of the unfortunate situation.His driver and butler also stood by his side, quavering guiltily; he didn't bother to spare them a glance as his mind kept praying desperately for the child to survive.Doctor Snow rushed out of the emergency unit "Mr Grey, we need an urgent blood donation for the child, he has lost too much blood and his type isn't in our blood bank at the moment" Adrian didn't think twice before responding immediately, "Test us if you can find his match". His hasty decisions surprised Doctor Snow, who, without delay, sent their blood samples to the laboratory for testing.Mr Black, the butler, was hesitant but concurred eventually with a sharp threat from Adria

Chapter 38: Unsheathed Sword

"So it was you?" Rissa questioned glaring at Adrian while pacing endlessly in Doctor Snow's office.Adrian was agape as he kept staring blankly at the paper he was holding."Is...is there a possibility of the result being wrong?" he asked, facing Doctor Snow, whose countenance remains unshaken."Mr Grey, I can assure you it was accurately done," Doctor Snow responded firmly.Adrian sat back on the chair, dejected; how was this any way possible? Fathering a child he does not know of.Before he could gather his thoughts, Rissa faced him angrily “You ruined my life and marriage!" She said it with so much hate and spite.Her words juggled Adrian's dwindled memory, he had dreamt of a woman telling him the same thing."It was you! Room 302 Charleston Hotel, November 3rd, seven years ago," Adrian rambled on wide-eyed.Before he could complete his words, Rissa smacked him across the face and walked out angrily.Doctor Snow was perplexed witnessing the awkward situation, especially for a man l

Chapter 39: Dine With Detest

"I am sorry I was late Mr Stockholm," Adrian said with a pleasant smile and shook the other man's hand."It is fine Mr Grey, the dinner is just about to commence," Mr Stockholm responded pleasantly.Mr Stockholm's bodyguard opened the door for Adrian, and he walked in swiftly with his head up high; his domineering aura took over as the domestic staff bowed slightly at his presence.He walked past them into the spacious dinner hall decorated with a shimmering interior."Mr Grey, you are welcome," numerous prominent personalities were greeting him the moment he walked in and he kept shaking their hands politely.Despite every fibre of his being, he would have rather spent more hours staring into Caleb's mesmerizing eyes.His smile faltered when he saw Liam Hickson who pretentiously reached out to honor his presence."Welcome Mr Grey," he said in an icy cold voice despite the mockery smile plastered on his face."I know you are familiar with each other already, Mr Grey, and here is Mrs D

Chapter 40: Driven By Rage

Rissa stole a glance at Adrian as he passed by, she hid behind the bronze statue at the front entrance of Perchy Peach.It is still unbelievable for her after two weeks that her son's accident perpetrator was his father and her boss.She watched the staff and security personnel bow slightly as he walked in.To be honest, Adrian Grey's aura was really domineering and authoritative.She closed her eyes at the memory of smacking him across the face at the hospital."Miss Stonebridge, are you okay?" she heard Mr George say.Adrian stopped in his stride and looked towards the direction of the voice.Rissa closed her eyes in embarrassment and surfaced from behind the bronze statue."Yes....I ..am fine, Mr George," she responded, stuttering.To talk about wrong timing! Mr George always had it."Good morning Mr Grey," Mr George said quavering as he noticed the CEO's presence.Rissa bowed slightly still embarrassed "Good morning Mr Grey," she said and bit her lower lips.Adrian smiled coyly ob
