The weather seemed to communicate with Abigail's mood as she stood by her room balcony.
After Frank's call that morning, she had been tormented by a pang of guilt that seemed almost impossible to fade away.
After the incident at the park, they had barely spoken to each other, and when she couldn't take it any longer, she called him. He did not answer her.
She knew he was enraged. That sort of embarrassment would not be pleasing to anyone.
She had received news that he was in a little trouble with his parole officer and it threatened his new job.
After some investigations, he was allowed to resume work and had been doing well according to h
Anthony was still dumbfounded by what Samantha had just told him. He sat in silence for a while and she had shifted away from him briefly as she did not know what to expect from him. "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" He asked her calmly after a while. "I was ashamed of myself, of what I have suddenly become," she said. He shifted closer to her and put his hand around her, bringing her close to him. "It was a bad idea to hide something like this from me," he said to her. Samantha was taken aback as she turned to face him. "You're not upset?" She asked him. He let out a small laugh. "Of course, I'm upset at you for not telling me, but I would never be upset about your past life, and what you have been through because life happens," he said to her and kissed her forehead. He reached out into his pocket and took out a ring. Samantha's heart began to pound. She was not sure that she was ready for such a commitment and she did not want him to pop the question. "You see this ri
Declan watched Abigail kiss Frank so passionately right there before her front door and something tugged in his heart. It became so strong like a knot that tightened with each passing second. He was becoming enraged. She had not noticed him step out of his car and walk towards them. She was still caught up in Frank's arms that she had no idea what was going on around him. It was when he cleared his throat that she disentangled herself from him and looked over to who was there. She looked at him in amazement as she tried to put herself together. "You did not tell me that you were coming," she said to him. Frank too felt embarrassed as though they were little kids caught in the act.
As Samantha sat in the first class section of the plane, she could not help but think herself very stupid. She could not imagine that Declan still had so much control over her life even after she was separated from him. She was usually very intricate with her work and usually did a lot of research on whatever firm she worked in to improve her work ethic in the future. She realized that she had been too much in a hurry to kick off a new start and that she had barely done a background check as she would usually do. She was too caught up in making out a life for herself that she had not bothered to be intentional. Getting away from Declan and his company seemed like the prize.
Declan woke up the next morning by a call from Micheal who had been working tirelessly as a result of the new clients they had received. He took out his laptop from his bag and got to work immediately as Micheal updated him. They soon switched to a virtual meeting and Micheal was at home in a shirt and tie. It amused Declan because he was also dressed the same way for virtual meetings with a short or sweatpants underneath. Halfway into the meeting, Micheal's hot girlfriend passed behind him, dressed in just a two-piece. Micheal closed his eyes in embarrassment and Declan burst out laughing. "I'm so sorry about that sir," Micheal
Hannah lazily got up from her bed when her alarm went off.

"Sam," Hannah called out to Samson who was smiling down at her. She did not believe she would ever see him again. He had not come to the island in a long time, probably because they were not an item any longer.She thought about him on some occasions and wished she did not treat him unfairly. What she still felt towards him was remorse for what she had done and she only sought an opportunity to apologize for everything.He had changed phone lines too, and she never bothered to ask Declan about his new numbers. She did not want to seem thirsty and desperate.Looking at him now, he seemed different, more handsome, and looking more fulfilled. A pair of glasses covered his eyes. She had never seen him in those before. Declan knew that it was a serious affair when a woman said they needed to talk. He wondered what had prompted her request. Samantha could not have possibly found out about the ploy they intended to carry out.He packed up the few things he had come to Abigail's place with and alerted Jason, his pilot, that he was ready to go back to the island. He told Abigail that there was an urgent business meeting at home and his presence was required.His phone rang when he arrived at the airport. It was Samantha and he dreaded answering it. He answered however on the second ring."I've been waiting at the hotel for over an hour now," she said once he pressed the phone to her ears."You know there is no need for that," heVindication of the Rejected Heir Chapter 155
Declan was not sure he heard what she had just said properly. He turned sharply to look at her."Are you sure?" He asked her. She nodded."I thought you would want to have that with Anthony instead," he said to her.Samantha was quiet as though she was thinking deeply about it. Anthony was a good man, no doubt, but he was still hung up on his last relationship and was a mummy's boy. She did not think she wanted to raise a son with someone like that. She needed a man to handle that aspect of her life, and Declan looked like one.We've always wanted a child together and I was thinking why don't we do this together too?" She asked him, not willing to taint Anthony there and then. "I was thinking of presenting you with that offer some time ago," he said to her. "But you were insisting on leaving me," she added.She turned to look at him. "I want us to do this together," she said quietly. "Co-parenting with you does not sit well with me. I want you to remain my wife," he said to her as
