Mrs Jones asked as she looked at him.Andy looked at his mother and felt tears sting his eyes and his nose.He looked upwards and breathed in and when he looked at his mother again, he had a small smile on his lips though it didn't reach his eyes."I am well mama. I am well," he said as he walked past her into the house.He didn't want her to see him she'd tears.He had tried not to get hurt by all that he heard Angela say but there was no helping it.He could still not believe that Macy was right all along.Andy always thought that Macy was jealous of them as Angela always said but now, he knew better.He walked into the living room and found his father who was sitt

81. Macy let Richard lead away from that room and she felt like she was in a dream.Seven years ago, she was still that naive girl who had come from a small village in rural Connecticut and had thought that Angela had her interests at heart. Weren't they sisters after all?She thus still believed it when Angela said that she was sorry for all the pranks she had pulled on Macy and that she wanted to apologize.That was why and how Macy found herself in the hotel with Angela where her drink was spiked.She wasn't sure if it was the food or the drink but she had been drugged and her body was on heat.Through her stupor, she could tell that Angela had organized for men to sleep with her and the last thing Macy wanted was to lose her virginity to strangers.She had talked to Andy earlier in the day and he had promised her that he would return and she had even taken the key card at the receptionist.She was ready to give herself to him because he had proven to be a good man who had waited

82. Macy looked at Richard long and hard and decided that this was the prize she was to pay for what she decided to do to Angela.She knew that she wasn't worthy to be with Richard for he was a good man and deserved a good woman but she wasn't that.The fact that she had slept with someone she didn't know made her feel dirty and like she wasn't worthy.Even though she loved the child she had carried and loved with albeit for a few months, she hated herself.But on the other hand, she was happy that the man was unknown for had he been known who UT was, she was sure that she would have been forced to marry him and that was something she didn't want to live with.She wanted to be free and do what she wanted.She this decided to tell Richard everything and make him realise that she wasn't worthy to be called mama by Mel.She didn't talk in the vehicle and Richard didn't push her.She waited until they came to the villa and luckily enough, Mel was asleep and she thus wouldn't have to prete

83. “Where are you?” Richard asked Ash through the phone.“I am at the company.We are preparing a story to back up Macy’s claims because I think that the Philips might do something to try and protect their precious daughter,” Ash said as he and the PR director of A+ House of Entertainment went through that recording of Angela’s confession again.“Let Cash handle that. I need you home.Let’s meet in your villa right now,” Richard said and his voice sounded urgent.“But isn’t Cash on the other drug case?” Ash asked.Since that day someone had stolen their truffles, Cash had been sent to infiltrate that organization and he was already in and had already gathered a lot of incriminating evidence but he was not yet done.“He can take a break for a while.Just come, I will call him,” Richard said and hang up.He knew what Cash was doing was important but not as important as what he wanted to do.This was a matter of top priority and he would and could stop even the running of his company fo

84. “What is it Asher. Speak,” Richard spoke in a low voice because he was already losing his patience with his brother.Ash knew very well that the last thing he needed was to make Richard angry at and with him.“That day, I found a bracelet in the beddings.It was golden and I thought it must be the girl’s because it was feminine and I thought that the owner would look for it and we would give it back if it was important but no one came forward.“I am sorry that I did not tell you about it at that time,” Ash apologized but looking at Richard, he got opposite of what he expected.Instead of Richard being angry at him, he was smiling.“Are you okay brother?” Asher asked his brother who was standing there looking as if his mind was far away.“How about eh security footage?” Richard asked.“She came at night and since she came to your quarters, the corridor was all dark and when she left the next morning, she was facing down and we didn’t catch her face.Only her long dark flowing hair

85. Macy woke up with a splitting headache that she almost thought she was having a migraine.“Ouch!” She held her head as she tried to open her eyes and move.Richard was done with his research and investigation to the hospital Macy gave birth to and he, in fact, had realized that the hospital was owned by one of his classmates in high school.Richard was never a social person since he was young and so, he rarely kept acquaintances who didn’t benefit himself with anything and that was the same reason why he didn’t have any friends.But with a few calls here and there, he had managed to get the number of one Aniston Mowlie who owned the hospital and was its CEO.He had inherited it from his father and he had done well for himself for it was thriving and he had managed to open other branches in other states.Richard didn’t care that it was four in the morning and he dialed the number one of his people jad sent him.“Fuuuck! Why call this early?Better be quick. I slept late and I am st

86. Macy opened her eyes forgetting about eh pain for a bit as she looked at Richard with her mouth agape.She wondered if she had heard him wrong.The previous night, she had opened her heart to him and told him everything.She had told him about the drugging by Angela and the fact that she had had a baby with and for a man she did not know.She was at a point where she could not keep dragging the issue for long because Angela had already confessed that her baby was alive.Macy knew that she could not trust Angela but she also hoped and dared believe because at that time, Angela was under the influence of the truth potion and she knew that at that moment, Angela could not have lied.That was why she had told Richard the truth in the hopes that he would let her go.She wouldn’t mind because she knew that she didn’t deserve such a good man as Richard.That was why she even made her heart not even think of falling for him.She knew that falling for him would just ruin her because such a

128. By the time Richard and Macy were done with entertaining the guests, time was far much spent.They thus decided to retire to their room and then leave for their honeymoon the next morning. Richard carried Macy across the threshold as was traditionally unacceptable for a groom to let his wife to enter the door walking in her first day as a wedded wife.Macy was so happy that she felt as if whatever she had going through was being compensated. By the time Richard was placing her on the bed that had been decorated with red roses, her ribs were tired from all the laughing.She was happy.She had two children and a man who adored her. She could not ask for more. “Do you want to take a bath first?” Richard asked her after helping her take off the high heeled shoes she had been wearing.“Yes. I will go first,” she told him.“Okay. I will help you prepare the bathtub," he offered."No. That's okay. I want to have a shower because I am tired. I just want to lay down,” she said and he n

127. The moment was intimate and all Richard could see was Macy. He didn't want to think of everyone gathered in the hall because he hated crowds and the reason why he did all this was for her.Another reason he held this wedding on an island was to make sure that not many people attended.The air was charged with excitement as those gathered waited to hear what Richard would say. Some wondered if it would be as heart touching as Macy's or if it would be blunt. As Richard took a deep breath, the crowd fell silent, anticipation hanging in the air. He turned to Macey, her eyes sparkling with joy, and began to speak the words he had carefully crafted in his heart. “Macy,” he started, his voice steady yet brimming with emotion, “from the moment I met you, I knew you were the one I wanted to spend my life with. You are my rock, my confidante, and my greatest adventure. With you, I have found a love that I never knew existed.”Tears glimmered in Macey’s eyes as Richard continued, recountin

Please find it in your heart to forgive us," Mrs Phillips said and Macy just stood there both embarrassed and angry.She wondered why they had to make a scene even though she had allowed them in.“We are also thankful that you allowed us to your wedding. Thank you so much darling," her father added.“Just sit and let us continue," Macy said feeling all embarrassed because there were other people in the hall who weren't family and although it wasn't a secret now after the live broadcast of Angela washing her dirty linen in public that these people had neglected their own daughter and nurtured the one who had killed their own son, she wasn't ready to deal with them.This was supposed to be her day and not theirs.“No, darling. We won't sit unless you say that you have forgiven us," her mother, Mrs Phillips, said and she sighed.“You do realise that today is supposed to be about me and not you, right?" Macy asked the two wh

125. Macy couldn't believe that this day was here. All her life ever since she found out that she had slept with a stranger and got pregnant, she never thought that she would ever get a man to love her but here she was.Not only did this man love her but was also the father of her child-ren.She followed Richard's footsteps until they came to the raised dais where her brother, Asher, May, Mel and Jared were standing.For the first time ever, Macy got to see May in a flowing dress.She had always seen May with leather pants or jeans pants and leather jackets. But now, she really looked like a girl.Macy stood on the left side of Richard where she was directed and they faced the people.She hadn't gotten the time to look at this place since they obviously had got there at night and she hadn't gone around since, well, she was getting ready for this.The hall wasn't as big and she even didn't know that they were on an island but she felt the waves hit rocks and she, at first, thought that

He wanted nothing more but to spend the rest of his life with this woman and no one else. As he lay on the bed his gaze lingered on Macy with a hard to describe smile on his face. He couldn't believe that he had been this lucky.He also smiled when he remembered when he was drugged by his brother. He almost killed his brother but now, he was happy and he would even reward Asher with the latest Tesla that he had been asking for.They had arrived at his uncle's villa on the Indi

123. “Mom, hurry up, we have to leave," Mel hurried her mother who was still getting ready. It wasn't that Macy wasn't ready it was just that she had just been informed by her man that they were leaving in an hour's time and they were going for a vacation. “What should I carry? Why didn't you tell me at least yesterday and I would have gotten ready!" She had complained wondering where to start. “Don't worry about that. It was a surprise and we already packed for you. All we want is for you to go with us," he has said and the children had beamed. “Yes ma, just wear something and let's leave. This will be my first vacation with my real family," Jared had urged and that was how Macy had found herself getting ready and now, she was wondering what to wear because she had even forgotten to ask where they were going. “Where are we going again? What do I wear?" She shouted from her bedroom and Richard shouted back, “just wear anything. One of those cute dresses of yours.” "Yes mama. The

"A wedding?" Ash asked, low-set ginger brows furrowing even deeper."Why so fast?" He shouted this time."A wedding," Richard said with a slow grin,and a collective set of gasps filled theair. "I'm gonna marry her on the thirtyfirst this month. I want to belong to her, legally. I want to say those vows you see in movies, to give her not just my mind and body and heart, but the very essence of my soul. I want to give it all since I'm in this relationship for the forever haul.""Er, a-a-actually, uh," Kyle stammered, looking flustered, "well, um... y-yeah,we could do that. But don't you think that we could give my sister some time to prepare?
