72. The lunch went well and finally, it was time to go and meet the entertainment journalists who were eagerly waiting.As was given, Angela had already hinted to some of them through the manager that Macy would be missing and they were ready with articles that would be published on social media minutes after the conference ended all directed towards showing the world what a bad and proud actress Macy was.Angela had also made sure to buy a water army that would escalate the story to a point that it would be among the trending topics of that day.So, one can imagine the surprise they received when they saw Macy walk in hand in hand with the man who had played the king in the play.They were talking animatedly and as was given, Angela didn't like it because it should have been her who was where Macy was.She also hated the fact that Macy literally shone throughout the room without any effort because her dress was the most eye catching and the fact that she hadn't worn a lot of makeup

73. Angela looked as Macy took a sip of her drink and smiled.She hadn’t though that it would be this easy to get Macy. Angela hand t even slept thinking of ways to get Macy to do her bidding and humiliate her in a way that would make sure that Macy would never rise again.The last time Angela dealt with Macy, Macy was sent to study abroad and her name that had been added to the Philips family registry had been struck out and she had been told to continue using her foster parents’ surname, Smith.This time, Angela wanted to make sure that Macy would be run out of Washington by her parents and the media and that she would go back to Connecticut with her tail between her legs.“This city can only have one queen and that is only me,” Angela had said to her new manager as she gave her money to buy people who would sleep with Macy and call media houses who would come and stream the action live. As they talked with Angela making small talk and Macy sipping her drink, Angela’s heart was on

73. Macy walked out and a few minutes later, two men came and carried Angela out of the room and left the others there to do as they pleased but not before May made sure that they were being filmed and the free video aired to the whole world to see what they were capable of.Macy knew that if Angela was with the group, her family would do all it took to find out where they were and stop it.She knew that her father could even buy out all the media outlets filming it so as to make sure that it wasn’t filmed.They then would blame it all on Macy and make sure that they brought her down so as to clear Angela’s face.Macy wanted to give Angela a blow that she would never recover from.Hers was going to be a special interview that even the Philips family wasn’t going to rise up from.Macy took the antidote May had brought and gave it to Angela who, a few minutes later, regained her consciousness and she looked relieved although she was still in pain.She had just been through an intense un

75. Macy looked at Angela who seemed to relive the moment she learnt that Mr. Philips wasn’t her biological father.“I couldn’t believe it and I thought that that doctor had made a mistake and I went to the teacher and showed her the results.She said that we would redo it and it came back with the same results four times! Four times! Imagine that! Four fucking damned times.You know what the teacher told me?” Angela asked as she tried to stand up again and she fell down on her ass and hissed.Macy didn’t move from where she was seated as she watched her struggle again to get up and sit on the bed.Macy knew that it would take at least four to five hours for Angela to start feeling her mortal skills again but Macy didn’t tell her that.Angela sat down with difficulty and breathed in and out hard as if she had just scaled a mountain.“No. Tell me what the teacher told you,” Macy probed as she answered the question Angela had asked.Angela looked at Macy and laughed. She produced a man

Get caught?Who do you think you are talking to?I am Angelica Yuan Philips!The first daughter of the Philips family and the heir to the Philips empire.I am the most beloved of my parents and they all, including that idiot I call a husband, eat from the palm of my hands.Hear that?They all believe in me.Come on Macy,” Angela changed her voice and adopted the innocent one she usually used before other, “do you think that anyone would believe that I would do anything bad? I can’t even kill a mouse let alone a person.Ha ha ha!” She said and laughed hysterically until she laid on her back on the bed.After she had laughed to her fill, she rose up again and faced Macy.“And do you know why I am telling you all this?” She asked and Macy shook her head.“Please, enlighten me,” Macy said and by this time, she was genuinely shocked.This isn’t what she had bargained for.This was like investing in the shares market projecting a profit of 1.02% but then getting a hundred percent

77. As Macy was being dragged away by Richard, what she did not know was that she had created quite the stir in DC as a whole.When she was doing it, she wanted to just shame Angela and make people hate her and at least let everyone know that Angela was a fake but what she hadn’t banked on was the fact that it was now going to be a police case.She and May had called some tabloid journalists and they had put a small microphone on Macy and whatever she and Angela were discussing was being transformed through video and audio.At the start of the broadcast, only a few hundred people were tuned n but word spread like bush fire when people realized that the famous actress the tabloids had talked about was actually Angelica Philips.No one could believe that the woman who had an angelic smile just like her name was a devil reincarnate.If they hadn’t seen and heard it by and for themselves, they would have thought that someone somewhere wanted to tarnish the name of the queen.If Macy had

78. “Hello?” May picked the call for she was the one who received and it was a new number.They had expected that when people started watching the live broadcast, those who knew Macy like the Philips family would start calling her and as such, Macy left her phone with May.At this time, Richard had already arrived and he was standing next to May outside the room where Macy and Angela were as they watched what was happening on the phone.“Hello, I want to talk to Macy please,” Andy said when he realized that the one who had received his call wasn’t Macy.“She isn’t available at the moment,” May answered and as she was about to hang up, she heard the name.“Tell her it’s Andy,” Andy said and May looked at Richard.“Who is it?” Richard asked.“Andy,” May said simply and she put the phone on Richard’s outstretched hand.“Hello?” Richard said as he put the phone to his ear. “Who is this?” Richard asked though he already knew it was.“I am the one who should be asking you that question.

79. "Andy baby, how are you?" The Jones matriarch asked as she encompassed her son in a hug.Andy bend and laid his head on his mother's shoulder and he felt like he had a million and one things to tell her but he didn't even know where to start.He relished her warmth for a while and then raised his head."Are you okay?" 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

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

124. Life is a blessing and we only have one of it. 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

122. Since Macy said yes to marrying Richard and they got their boy back, Richard had become like Macy's second cloth.He would be wherever she was and if he wasn't lying on her if she was sitting, he would be touching her here and there provided he could feel her.He even spent his days in the studio watching her film but Macy didn't mind although people started talking.For the first time, the mysterious first son of the Armstrong family started showing up in public.This clingy behaviour went on for a month though it wasn't as severe as before. He stopped following a lot but he would casually send cute texts and pictures whenever they were apart.All of a sudden, the ice cube who had no social media accounts created them and shared with the world that he was the happiest man alive.His IG moments were always filled with things like 'My Beautiful fiancè made me breakfast today #inlove' followed by a picture.

"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?
