Heaven stood up from the bed and nonchalantly walked out of the room. There's no way she would risk her mom coming back to her room again. She walked downstairs and sat down in the dining room where her mom was already waiting for her. “What took you so long to get here?,” Victoria asked Heaven the moment she sat down on the chair. Heaven rolled her eyes and gave her mom a funny look. “Mom…” Heaven tried to say but Victoria raised her hand to stop Heaven from talking any further because she knows that Heaven will say something that she wouldn't want to hear. “It’s fine. I understand,” she told Heaven and took a bite of her food. Heaven nodded and served herself. No sooner had she started eating, that she noticed her mother was watching her. Heaven dropped her spoon and turned to look at her mom so she can know the reason why her mom has been staring at her like that. “What is it mom?” she asked, seeing that the culprit won't say anything unless she asks. Victoria folded her hands
Victoria was angry because of what Heaven told her. She walked into her room and started pacing around the room angrily. She was tracing everything to Leo. She felt her father was never like this until Leo came into their lives. After hesitating for a while, she picked up the phone and decided to call her father. She called the first time but her father did not answer the call so she decided to call again and while the call was still trying to connect, she fumed in anger. “You finally called," These were James' first words when he answered the call. Victoria tried to remain calm because she didn't want to say anything offensive to her father. “Were you waiting for my call?” Victoria asked after hearing what he said. She realized that she isn’t interested in starting any other conversation with him apart from the reason why she called. “I knew you were going to call.” James told her and laughed out but not too loud. Victoria could hear the sound of his laughter and it angered her.
Leo was stunned. He couldn't even move from where he was standing. His brain suddenly went haywire. What the hell! The moment he got back his senses, he rushed towards James and knelt down beside him. “Grandfather!” He screamed out. The servants in the house heard the way he was screaming so they all rushed to the sitting room. Leo checked his pocket but his phone was not there. He wanted to call the chauffeur. His eyes fell upon James' phone which was on the floor beside the old man. He picked it up immediately and used James' finger to open the phone. The moment he opened it, he went to the call log to dial the chauffeur's number but just when he was about to dial the number, he noticed the last person James called. His brows rose at Victoria's name displaying boldly on the caller id. Leo was not expecting it to be Victoria. He suddenly had an intuition that they might have been talking about it. Perhaps, Victoria said something to James that triggered the sudden attack. At the
“Dad.” Victoria said as she walked closer to James. She still could not believe what was going on. Heaven walked behind her and they both stood beside James. “Grandfather.” Heaven also called his name. They turned to look at each other again. “You are finally here. I've been waiting for you.” James said them and paused what he was eating. Leo turned off the music immediately so they could hear what they were saying. “Dad but you…” Victoria stopped talking so that she will not look stupid. James already understood what she was trying to say so he just smiled and took a bite from the food on his table. “Leo, what was that call about?” Victoria had to face Leo when she noticed her dad looked perfectly fine. Leo was wondering why she had to pass the aggression on him. Though he was not surprised because it's obvious how much they hate him so this is just a chance for them to blame him for this as well. However, he remained quiet. He didn't know how to justify himself again because Jam
“Why did I rush back in?” Heaven asked herself when she noticed she just did the most stupid thing she’ll never imagine she can do. Victoria looked at her when she saw her standing in front of the door. “Heaven, come over here," she called. Heaven wanted to ignore because she was angry with her grandfather a few minutes ago. But she rushed to her mom and her grandfather. She stood beside her grandfather and all of a sudden, she remembered what she just did and she started feeling bad again. Leo was still sitting outside the ward. He was dumbfounded by what just happened. “Was she trying to avoid me?” Leo asked himself. And the moment he concluded in his head that she is avoiding him, he realized the hatred is getting stronger with each passing day. Leo stood up and walked away from the front of the ward. He felt he needed some space to breathe. He felt suffocated. “Heaven, are you okay?” Victoria asked when she noticed that Heaven was acting differently. Heaven gave her a slight
“I don’t know anything about his refusal to go home.” Leo answered her. Leo was surprised Victoria was talking to him calmly. It's certainly what he wasn't expecting. “Why is she so calm?” Leo asked himself and continued looking at her. He really doesn't know the kind of person Victoria is because they have not spent time together. Maybe that’s why he is surprised at her calmness. “But you are always around him, you should know things I don’t know by now,” Victoria gave him a sharp gaze. Leo could tell she was desperately in need of a reply from him that can help her understand something. “Why is she so interested in this talk?” Leo asked himself once again. When he looked at her face, he could tell she was scared and worried at the same time. “Things like what?” Leo asked her and she raised her head to look at him when he asked her the question. “Leo!” Heaven shouted in her mind when she saw that Leo was the person standing with her mom. Heaven was upset with her mom for standing
“Dad, I don’t understand what you are saying.” Victoria looked perplexed. James turned to her when he heard what she said. “I am the one you are finding it hard to understand. I made a decision and you have decided not to understand my reason.” James explained. Victoria was calm after listening to her father. She felt like he was trying to emotionally blackmail her, but he finally won. Judging by his health condition, she could tell he is not fine and it’s because of their absence in the house. Victoria turned to look at James. She felt bad because she had to go back on her words. She promised herself not to ever return to that house or else Leo is out. But now she has no other choice but to go back home. “It’s fine. You win.” Victoria informed him. At first, James was confused until he tried to understand what she was saying. He turned to look at her and from the look on his face, the excitement was obvious. “Do you mean you are coming back home?” Janes asked Victoria to confirm
“Mom, what’s grandfather talking about?” Heaven asked Victoria after hearing James ' words. A puzzled look appeared on her face. “I’ll talk to you about it when we get home.” Victoria gave a curt reply. She couldn’t even look at Heaven's face when she was talking. She didn't know how she was going to break the news of their current situation to her. Heaven noticed her acting like she was trying to avoid looking at her. She felt like whatever her mother is gonna tell her is something she wouldn't like. But she turned to the car window to look at those passing by. “I hope it’s not what I’m thinking.” she said to herself while thinking of her mother's suspicious actions. Victoria turned to look at Heaven and sighed. They might probably get into a huge argument when she breaks the news to her. Victoria sighed heavily again and looked away. Meanwhile, Leo couldn’t stop thinking about what Victoria just said. “Was she thinking right when she said that?” Leo asked himself while h
