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

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

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.

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.

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

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

In this life, we have plenty of challenges and heartbreaking events that we at times feel like we won't be able to move on from but as long as we have theones we love right beside us it makes it all worth it.One of life's gifts is finding someone you can share the rest of your life with, someone who will be there for you through thick and thin and love you for who you arenot what you have.Richard had found such a person who was currently lying in his arms. 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

"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.
