And when the real truth comes to light that she has been betrothed to the billionaire ever since she was a child, will she confront her past or succumb to her fears once again?
View MoreBree Normally I'd plan my next day the night before. And when I saw Alexander's impromptu arrival, I instantly believed that the next day would be as blissful as paradise. Even though I know that he doesn't look at me or regard me in a way that I would want, I still longed for his presence. And now the news they bore to me this morning was beyond devastating. Not only did it turn out that I was adopted, it also turned out that Alexander's supposed wife was their real child. The signs were there, I didn't take any of it into consideration. I didn't take the slightest resemblance from any of them. I should be angry with Alexander for knowing about it yet not saying anything. But then one could not really fault him. Mum and dad would have instructed him not to say a word about it. I found my attachment and my obsession toward him growing deeper and deeper. 2 of those kids who sat at the dining table looked so much like him. As I kept tossing and turning in bed, I heard noise downstai
Melissa I quickly relieved myself of the things I had carried, rushing towards my dumbstruck kid. He asked again, as if to be sure of what he heard. “Mr Alexander Pierce is our daddy?” “Honey, it's not what you think. It's uh, it's complicated,” I started doing damage control. “Just answer the question mom, is he our daddy?” I feared this day might come, I didn't want to answer yet I couldn't leave the poor child hanging. “He is,” Albert answered, walking into the room with Aurora. “Mr Alexander Pierce is our real daddy.” Oh bless heavens, I rolled my eyes inwardly. Just that one child who would see every tense situation as normal. Aiden diverted his attention away from me, to his brother. “Albert, you knew all this while?” “Sorry,” he said casually. “I promised not to tell you guys.” I could see my baby start breaking into two. “Really? Why? Because we weren't as smart as you or because we aren't so good at hiding our emotions like you?” “Can you listen to yourself, Albert?
Melissa After her explanation, the only word that could free itself from the captivity of my mouth was wow. I was beyond surprised. I turned to look at the man who sat opposite me, he refused to look at me. Still gaping at whatever amused him on the table, I called out first. “Mr Billionaire,” every single word of mine reeked of anger covered in sarcasm. “Is it true?” His head gently went up and the only thing he did was nod in affirmation. “This can't be possible,” the lady who we just both found out that she was adopted kept mumbling. Yeah, her name is Bree. Bree kept mumbling that. She was one minute away from losing it. Her eyes were glassy and the stares she directed to me were full of hate. “So after all these while, you think now is the right time to tell me that I'm adopted,” she screamed, standing up and banging her hands on the table simultaneously. Yup, she was definitely a spoiled brat. No one said a word to her. I guess they knew how irrational she behaved. “You,
AlexanderThe sun forcing its way into the room met me directly on my face. I had bags under my eyes, I didn't sleep for up to an hour. I kept tossing and turning, thinking about how the day would go. Better still, the direction of how my entire life would go now.A knock on the door forced me out of bed, it was Lady Selene.“Good morning Mimi,” I answered in a gruff voice.Her heels made pointy noise against the hard floor. She was adorned in jewelry and had a very light makeover. “Were you able to sleep, child?”“You can guess the answer, Mimi. I tried to,” I stopped my words and looked at her. Alternating between her and the wall clock.“It's just 7 in the morning, are you going somewhere?”She scoffed. “Don't be ridiculous, child. It's a big day today. I've had the cooks prepare food for everyone. Now get inside the bathroom and wash up, I'll have your clothes arranged for you by the time you are done.”Her attitude worried me, sent me thinking into space. “What is going on? Why a
AlexanderAs soon as the plane hit the runway of Carlton airport, my fear heightened. My palms were becoming sweaty and I was shifting uncomfortably in my seat, staring out at th3 window too. I was pretty sure that my current attitude was giving me away.“Sir Alex, are you okay?” Felix asked, holding the set of brushes and other things I bought.“I'm okay, I'm just a little stressed,” I forced out a smile trying to ease the whole place. But he knew better, it was all a facade.We alighted from the plane and walked through the arrival section.“I'm going to book us a ride to take us home,” I said. Before I could continue with what I was doing, I saw the driver of Lady Selene walking towards me.“Sir Alexander, please follow me,” he judged forward and bowed.Saying I was surprised was an understatement. This lady knew me like her own child. “How did she know I was going to show up here tonight?”“She had a hunch, let's call it that,” he opened the back seat for Felix and I. The only bel
Alexander Work had really piled up for the amount of extra days I stayed in Carlton. Nancy had everything organized according to their level of urgency. If only Cindy had disturbed me after the last time, Nancy was going to have her ears full. My entire gadget was with Felix, I asked him to hold on to it. Any little distraction, I'll have to pend work for a while again and I knew I couldn't risk that. A single knock went on the door, the door pushed open and Felix's head popped out. “A particular number has been calling several times and it left a message. It said: Alexander, it's important.” “What's the caller ID?” I asked. “Mimi,” he said. “Lady Selene,” I muttered under my breath, gesturing for him to hand it over. “You can leave, I'll call you as soon as I'm done.” I returned the calls and the first thing that went into my ear immediately she picked up was her screaming. “Do you want me dead before you pick my calls, Alex?” I placed the call on speaker and decided to str
Sir CarlosThe paper I held in my hands felt like a joke. At this point, I'd think my wife was playing a skit on me. The report had DNA as its title but the DNA of who it was baffled me.“Honey, whose DNA is this matching? And why are you going about trying to do DNA tests?” I finally found my voice minutes after I composed myself.“You wouldn't believe it, it's little bunny's,” her eyes filled themselves to the brim. Her behavior surprised me, I expected her to be all over the room, jumping and squealing about in excitement.“Are you sure it's little bunny's DNA?” I rolled my eyes at her, trying to see if I could sense any level of suspicion from her. “The level of excitement I am supposed to be getting from you is not what I'm seeing.”She moved closer to me, whispering. “I know but then Bree and Francis are in the house. They do not need to know what's going on just yet. It would break Bree. At least not yet, she does not need to know.”“Oh,” I laid so much emphasis on the "oh”, fi
Lady Selene My legs were tightly placed together, the news I anticipated was something that was either going to mar or make my day. As per my position, I was made to wait in the doctor's office. Not having anything to think of, I stared at my beautiful black handbag sitting on the bed, being decorated with diamonds all through it; having no definite place of my thoughts. The bag was a gift from Carlos during our 20th year anniversary, even though it's been a while, it still felt like yesterday. The door squeaked open, it unconsciously returned me back to my current situation. My fingers clamped together under the table. “Sorry for the delay Lady Selene,” Henry—the doctor—apologized. “It's no problem Henry, I'm sure you didn't take so much time,” I said, referencing how it felt like years in my head. He replaced the loosely hanging glasses back to his eyes. He pushed the brown envelope to my face gently, showing me the seal of the laboratory. “This is the result from the lab, i
Lady Selene The day was gradually coming to an end, and on several occasions, I'd come out and check on what everyone was doing. They were all engrossed in their tasks. My frail eyes caught the sight of someone at the far end of the wall, the lady who anchored the annual conference. Alexander's supposed wife. I tried to bring myself to not like her but I couldn't. Something was off about her, she is a very likable person. All you will want to do is just want to be around her always. I saw Bree through the window on the first floor, staring down at someone like she should murder them. I followed her line of sight and it fell right at where I expected. Bree would never learn, Alexander wouldn't see her the way she wanted. I grabbed the microphone and needed to halt the event for the day. “It's been a very busy day for us all. I, once again, want to thank each and everyone of you for participating and for the viewers, thank you for coming to support your loved ones,” a round of ap
