After receiving his message, she quickly opened it. She have actually been waiting to hear from him, somehow, she wants him to convince her beyond reasonable doubt that he is still with her. So as she sat on the edge of her bed, her phone resting in her palm like a weight she wasn't sure she could bear. She thought of all she had read. Ryan's message had come through just minutes ago, but it felt as if the words were crawling through her veins, wrapping themselves around her heart in a slow, and steady grip.Her first instincts was to ignore, even though she have wanted to hear from him. She had also thought of blocking him severally, but that wouldn't give her the peace she craves, but something about wanting to hear from him, tugged at her. She found herself reading it again, every word pulling her further into the memories she had tried so hard to suppress. She even smiled at some point, because his words felt like he was standing close to her, and speaking to her heart. Her fing
Upon reaching her father's house, she noticed her father was receiving medication, he seem stressed and sick. She was surprised, because her father have never been sick. Her step brother was there, he looked scared too. She waved at him as though they are strangers. He had never really been friends with her, even while she was living in the same house with him, all those years when she used to lock herself up, he never for once, cared to know what was going on with her, instead, he was always with his mother, surely scheming on how to steal, but since his mother was exposed, and sent away, he seem to come out more. She even heard, he had started working at one of the Damien Brick companies."What happened? She asked, not particular asking him, but Derick answered."I was in the house, and he just slummed and here we are". Alexander stared long at him, before shocking him with her angry response."I was not asking you Derick". Damien opened his eyes, and tried to control the chao
Alexander called Annie immediately, asking her to come to the house, as she didn't want to leave Emily all by herself. Annie as usual, was willing to see her friend, and she came after few hours, she came with her things for a sleep over, as she would leave for work the next day, from her house.The house she once visited, that was full of life, was now very empty, with silence.She stood outside for a while, before pressing on the door bell. Alexander had sounded urgent on the phone, so she is as desperate as the voice she had heard."Annie we need to talk, something is not right, I will call my aunt later to find out what she figured, but I have to do my own work too".Hey, slow down, I don't understand a thing you just said, start from the begining". She says, relaxing on the couch. "Okay, so I told you I got a call from my dad, about his health right? She asked and Annie nodded. "So I went to the house, and I met Derick, but he isn't really the problem. While I was speaking with
Ryan went back to the Damien Brick Mansion, and delivered the parcel directly to Damien, but his shock was finding Lindsay there, laying on the bed next to Damien.He wanted to ask him what she was doing with him, but he decided against it, but she is going to be another nightmare for him, especially the connection they had together a night before his wedding to Alex. Roll now he doesn't know how to tell her about that night, and how she is going to react to the news, when he finally tells her. All he knows is that, he is going to have to try and tell her, no matter how hard it sounds.Damien got up, and held Ryan by the hand, as they walk out together. They are finally alone, and if he wants to ask him what he is doing with Lindsay, he should ask him already, But Damien started."I know what you are thinking, but you may not understand now, until the time is right, but thanks for this document. A lot is happening, and I need you to get your acts together, come back with your head to
Ryan finished late, and took the documents to Damien. fortunately for him, he was alone. "You have done a great job without asking questions, I really appreciate". Damien says to him. "I have questions sir". Damien smiles, for he expects him to at least ask. He had been asked to do a dirty job, of going to companies he knows nothing about to steal documents he knows nothing of, he needed to ask questions."Ask your questions ". Damien says."Why do I have to go to these companies to steal documents, and why do you have a mole in all the companies? Damien knew that is what he would ask, his Joy is that, he had done all of it, without asking questions at first. He obeyed before complain, showing he is an obedient son in-law. He could trust him."Those companies are all mine. Ryan. You don't have to say anything to Alexander, at least not for now, we still have more to retrieve". Ryan was all the more confused."I was the one that told Derick to tell his mother that I was sick, I want
"She planned it all, everything, that have happened, have been masterminded by her, from the very first day. I cannot believe I was so available for her to use me like that". He says, looking down. There was nothing more to explain to her, she could see everything already, just from what Emily have said. "I should have known, she is incapable of love, and there was no way, she could have carried a child in her womb for nine months. She doesn't even love herself, how then can she love someone else? Alexander didn't know what to say. All her aunt Mercy have said to her, was begining to make sense now. She had told her that not all happen the way she sees them, and that things and situations are viewed differently, depending on the angle one is viewing from, but she still needs to know he was seen on the bed with her.He looked up at her, and she could see through him. He was going through pain, and she could only hope, that she isn't about to make a huge mistake, believing him. The baby
As they both lay in bed, Alexander couldn't help but regret all the times she has missed being without him, just because she doubted him. There are so many things she wants to tell him, So many things she had longed to tell him all this while, but have not been able to, because she was just too angry with him, and with herself, finally, now that they have resolved the issue between them, she would tell him everything and more."I am sorry Ryan". She started. Ryan was scared that she is about to do something, or say something, that would hurt him and that is why she was saying sorry, so he immediately, sat up, and made her sit, facing him, but she faces down instead."What are you sorry about? He asked, with a concerned look on his face, while raising her jaw, so she looks at him."I am sorry I didn't trust you. I should trust you, after everything we've been through together, I was supposed to trust you and never doubt you, but I believed the lies of a stranger, instead of asking y
Weeks had passed since then, and they have been enjoying their relationship as a family, going places together, and even taking Emily to different packs, just so she could have fun, with other kids her age. She looks happier, and she behaves more like a child now, and no longer distant from herself and people around her. She hardly locks herself up in her room, and playing with the toys alone. Now she has a lot to tell them whenever she returns, while they sing her a lullaby before she sleeps, or they tell her a story. She doesn't wake up in a sweat anymore.They have also forgotten Juliana exists in their lives, because with what they now know, they no longer see her as a case to be bothered by, and as if Juliana knew, she never tries to contact them again, which was well appreciated. No weekend passes, without them doing one fun thing, so on this particular weekend, they planned a picnic, and was having fun, in a public park, when suddenly, Juliana sent Alexander a message. She i
She thought she would have a little time to do a little ladies thing, but surprisingly, as he sucked on her breast, while fondling at the same time with it, reminded her of the night she drugged Ryan. He had been so angry about getting married to Alexander and had been so fierce with her. Damien also looks very angry, and is also acting strangely. Though she was married to him for years, she never saw him, so fierce and needy before, she tries to blame it on the substance, but then it isn't also the first time, she was using a substance on him. Her marriage with him have been more like a child's play, that she always tries to spice their sex life up in one way or another, which never really gave her the vibe and energy she so long for. Which is also why she meets withen outside her marriage."You are different". She confessed, with the way he was fondling with her, and moving his hands all around her, it felt like he had been hungry for too long."Yes I know, and you taste differen
Lindsay visited Damien Brick again, she has been visiting him a lot since he became partially ill, but he has been acting like he isn't attracted to her anymore, she decided to add a little aphrodisiac, into his medicines, she needed to get him to break by all means. When she got to the house, she noticed he looked stronger than what her son had told her."What are you doing here? He asked, as soon as he saw her entering, and he would have continued, but their son walked in, he looked happy to see his mother, and after exchanged pleasantries, she asked him to excuse them."I came to see you Damien, you are my husband, we just separated because of misunderstanding, but I am here now, and I am here to make everything right, that is if you are going to give me a chance". She looked determined, and Damien looked like he is about to give in, but not without a force."We don't have anything to discuss, we are divorced, wether you signed the papers or not". He tells her, but she knows better
Juliana feigned a smile, then walked in slowly, as though she had come into the wrong house to steal, but they were all giving her a shocking look, that she sensed to already know the reason for their looks. But she still needs to confirm."Hello everyone". She greeted, but they didn't respond to her greeting, they kept looking at her, like she is some kind of a burglar. The other younger sisters, that probably didn't know her, even clinched to their purses, and phones."I know I didn't visit when I said I would and I have been away for too long, but it's been a really long journey for me, as the man I thought was going to be a father to our daughter is misbehaving. He abandoned me to be with a billionaire's daughter, and they took Emily away from me by force". She thought of playing the pity card, but the stories that the head sister have heard was enough for her, not to believe any act she puts up. When they didn't respond still, she looked around her, and seeing so much gifts a
Alexander noticed how worried Ryan was all through, she knows she has to get all documents ready for them to visit the court, Ryan may have been worried that she spends times with Emily more, but the truth is that the girl is full of wisdom, and she has given her more informations than she expect to get from her, she used the gotten informations, to take the first step of visiting the mother less home, where Emily grew up. Ryan was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even notice when she left, he was trying to bring himself as to how to tell Alexander what happened between him and Lindsay, he lay on the bed, looking up at the ceiling, when Alexander stepped out unnoticed, but that was also because she didn't want him to know when she left. She had already called the sisters in charge, so they were expecting her. She initially didn't tell them her aim, she just told them, she wanted to come visit the kids there with something, and they were happy to have her visit.When she got t
Ryan was glued to his phone at the house, as he lay on the couch with Alexander whom had been with him, cuddling him and not paying attention to everything Juliana was saying, she even laughed at her, at some point, especially those times she let out tears.She tries to kiss him, to get him back to a mood of wildness, and not a mood of worry, but Ryan seem lost.He could barely believe his eyes as Juliana twisted every event, painting herself as the victim, a woman scorned and reply hurt by his actions. "She left me for money and she was never pregnant, what the hell is she saying? he asked out loud, angry at the way the world seem to believe her.He clenched his fists, feeling the rage boil beneath the surface. If she were to be with him at the time, she would have forgotten the rules against hitting women and get violent with her. How could she do this to him, his thoughts raced, torn between the betrayal and the sinking realization of the public fallout. He hadn't told the world
After the other day's humiliation, Juliana couldn't take it anymore, it is now evident, that Ryan and the entire Damien family is never going to do the needful, she needed to make them do it by force, especially since Ryan still considered Emily his daughter, it goes a long way to show that he doesn't know yet, that Emily is in no way related to him. She needs to be fast with her plans before he finds out, or before Emily tells the world, where she came from.Juliana watched the card of one of the media personnel in her hand, and contemplated a little, if she should take that step. She had refused for so long, but now, taking that step, seems to be the only way to get them to come around, at least, that is what the world will be expecting from her, since what happened the other day.Juliana made that one single call, and she was immediately invited. She was promised that the outcome would wow her, and she wouldn't regret coming, she was told by the interviewer, that all she needs t
While Alexander was tired from the activities that had kept her and Ryan locked up in the house, she didn't know, Ryan was busy, planning a grand welcome party for Emily. While they were discussing what Emily had been through, they had mentioned having a small party for her, where her friends will come around and she will celebrate her new home with them, but Ryan didn't just throw a small party, it was indeed a big party.Because, As the sun bathed the garden in a warm glow, Emily and Mr Scott stepped into the family home, to a very warm reception. Alexander didn't even know about his plans, but he had all her friends from school, the house staff and even a few neighbors to welcome her. Surprisingly, he had invited her aunt and her Dad, that she hadn't seen anywhere else, other than the office.He just felt like a little celebration wouldn't hurt, since he isn't sure, if she had ever celebrated before in her entire life, especially since they have had such discussion before.The so
Too exhausted from the sweet activity of the night, they lay, curled up in bed with no one wanting to leave the other. This is exactly what Ryan wants when he sent Emily to stay with his father, and the weekend is already over, when Emily will take his wife from him again.Still enjoying the company and warmth of having each other, they heard a disturbing sound. It was a sound, from their phone, which blared into their ears, causing them to hiss angrily, but the sound came again, and they jolted awake. The sound shattered the early morning quietness. Left to Ryan, and surely Alexander, they would have stayed up in bed for hours, before getting up.Groggy and still tangled in the sheets, they exchanged a tired glance before Ryan reached over to grab his phone. The caller ID flashed Juliana. With a sigh, he showed Alexander who was calling, and she only took a moment to also see who the caller is, before entangling in his body.Juliana isn't worth their time, so she wouldn't leave h
Initially the lights were too bright in the bathroom, but Ryan made it dim, by switching on the dim light instead of the very bright one, causing the environment to give a more sensual and romantic feel, and adding vibe to the fun they were having. The sound of water cascading filled the air, as Ryan and Alexander stood beneath the hot shower, their bodies closed, breathing deep and ragged. The water streamed over them, mingling with the heat between them. If not for the stream of water pouring down on them, what they could have been seeing would have been sweat all through, because they entwined their body in a way that nothing could break.Ryan had initially planned to just enjoy the fun, but it was begining to look like they are going to enjoy more than just playing with the hot shower, that is no longer feeling so hot anymore.Ryan brushed a strand of wet hair from Alexander's face, his fingers lingering as he gazed into Alexander's eyes. Their bodies so close that they could f
