95. 'Our son,’ Macy thought as she smiled to herself.The words sounded nice coming from Richard's mouth.She couldn't believe just how nice nature had been to her.For the first time in five years, since she joined the acting industry, she got a major role in a big film and then Mel happened and now Richard and to top it all, her baby wasn't dead. Yes she had been away during the formative years of her son's life but he was alive and she would have the rest of her life to show him just how much he was loved.She would have two children: her boy and Mel.At least they wouldn't be alone anymore.‘Maybe we can also add them a brother or a sister,’ she thought, then blushed red as she looked at Richard from the corner of her eye.She was embarrassed even thinking of having a baby with Richard. She promised herself to love her children equally because they would all be her children.She would never do what her birth mother did to her. And then she was suddenly nervous at the thought of
96. Andy sat down and looked at his phone not believing all what his ears were hearing.This was the woman he had loved more than life itself. This was the woman who made him leave Macy and marry her. This was the woman he had believed more than he believed even himself. This was the woman he had introduced to all his friends and even his colleagues.This… This had been the love of his life.He felt as if he had been under a spell and he had finally woken up and he couldn't even understand how he had been in love with her.Now, he only felt loathing for her.Somehow, he was even glad that she had aborted his baby because he couldn't imagine having a baby that resembled Angela in behavior.“I would kill it and throw it in the Mississippi river," he said as she listened to her.“What did you say?" She asked but he didn't answer. Now that he was thinking about it, he couldn't believe why he had married her. She was beautiful so to say and Macy was even more beautiful than her.A lot of
97. Macy was both nervous and excited as Richard drove along the long driveway to Dr Maxwell's mansion.The house was like it was from a mideaval movie from all the statues along the way but she couldn't enjoy the beauty at that moment because her mind was running a marathon of what she would say or do when she finally met her baby.Something inside Macy even started telling her that this was all a dream and that they were making a mistake and that her baby was really dead.“What's wrong?" Richard asked her when he noticed Macy biting her finger nails, a habit she usually did when she was usually nervous and thinking hard.“I am wondering what I will do once we see him," she told him truthfully and he held her hand as he stopped by the gate that didn't have anyone manning it.He stopped the vehicle and then got out.He walked towards Macy's side and then opened the door and then squeezed her hand.“Listen, we are in this together for our son. So, don't be nervous. I will be beside y
98. Macy was running through a maze as she laughed merrily. She and two children were playing hide and seek and she was the one who was hiding.“Maaaa! Come on out now. You won't be It," the voice of a boy said and Macy stopped."Kay, have you found her?” A girl asked.She could clearly tell that the girl was Mel but she had no idea who the boy was.His voice want familiar.She decided to go to them and see who it was. From her memory, she could remember playing hide and seek but she couldn't remember who the boy was.As she ran back, the maze dissipated and she found herself in a house.The house looked Victorian and everything in it screamed opulence. She looked around and couldn't remember whose house it is as or what she was doing there.“Mel?" She shouted but the voice echoed back to her.The chairs in the house looked expensive. Very expensive and she wondered whose house it was and why she was there.There was no sign of life save for her and then she saw Richard.His eyes la
98. “Yes boss, they won’t leave and we have tried everything,” that was Moses, Mr Philips personal assistant said through the phone.Since the day they found out that Macy had been the good one in the story all along and that their favourite daughter was the villain, they had felt so remorseful that Mr. Philips could barely go to work. Mrs Philips, the one who was usually and always everywhere, wasn’t anywhere to be seen.The two, at the command of old Mrs Philips who was now calling the shots, were cooped up inside the house. They couldn’t even show their faces to the world because they were too embarrassed to.Angela was the person they introduced to everyone as their daughter. In fact, some of their closest friends didn’t know the truth. The media, the public, the Board of Directors of Philips Enterprises and the authorities were all at their necks. Everyone wanted Angela. The media – the story would sell and they thrived on such gossipThe public – she had killed a teacher and a
100. As Mr and Mrs Philips were kowtowing and currying favours with their mama bear who didn't seem to care and who seemed to wish that they would just disappear off of the face of the earth, Macy was in delirium.She didn't know where she was or what to make of the situation. All she knew was that the place she was in was very hot and she wanted to get out.She could feel someone touching her with something cold and she wanted to ask the person to decrease the temperature even more but she didn't have the voice to.After a while, she felt something prick her hand and she could feel something cool and soothing running through her veins and sleep took her.But even in sleep, she couldn't sleep well because she kept having the same dream… no, the same nightmare. She wanted to wake up but even when she did, she couldn't even open her eyes. They were heavy and her body just wanted to sleep.But she could feel that there was wormhtjhg important she wanted to do but she couldn't remember wh
101. “When I disappeared for the five years, I was actually running away. Running away from work and from my family. I was tired and injured. I was limping and even if my leg healed, the bones never aligned and it was painful but I was determined to live a normal life.So, I changed my identity and all and got a job in a cafe.It didn't pay much but it kept me going until I fell in love.But now that I am in love, I am not sure that what I had wout Cassy was low at all. Now that I think about it, I think I was just grateful to her because she stood up for me when everyone else was insulting me.”"You are in love? Who's Cassy? And who are you in love with? And why didn't I know all this?” Joey interrupted and Richard groaned with annoyance from deep withing his throat.“If you interrupt me again, I won't tell you," he warned.“Sorry. It's just curiosity and … never mind. Go ahead,” Joey said."It all stared one day when I was sent to deliver food like I always did and this time, it was
102. “So, just asking… don't look at me like that Rich. You know I love you and I always got your back and that's why I want to know and if not from you, from who else?” Joey defended quickly after he saw the look Richard was giving him.Richard wasn't a fan of talking about his issues and he didn't have many friends.But from that day he talked to a boy who was being bullied from home to school, he had a person stuck to him as a parasite and he liked Joey's talkative nature and Joey didn't seem to mind even when Richard was quiet.All Joey did was talk for the both of them until Richard grew fond of him and well… here they were.Richard knew for sure that Joey would rather die than tell anyone anything about him and that was why he was here answering the man's questions.“Ask," Richard said and Joey beamed.“If she didn't plan to get you, how did you know that she was the one who you did it with?Of all the women who could have come your way, why her?" Joey asked, trying to analyse t
