******Vanessa’s POV After I had woken up at the hospital, it took me more than enough minutes to try and decipher my location. My brain was in a haze and I had to pause the different thoughts in my head for a moment before it finally dawned on me that I was in the hospital. I tried standing up from the bed and resting my back against the head of the bed before I watch the Queen walk out of the bathroom with my daughter in her arms.I was mesmerized for a moment. I never knew Richard’s mom would care this much. I actually thought she was this stone cold, witch from the North of a cold region. Maybe people really do change and I hope this change is something that’ll be of benefit. Seeing my daughter again was the best thing that had ever happened to me and I’m really glad to be able to see her and grateful that I didn’t die in the arms of Dae and her friend from something I knew nothing about. My eyes got blurry with tears, but I promised myself already that I wouldn’t cry not even

Who wouldn’t love that angel though? Nobody I guess.After making me attend a tea party yesterday and also this morning, I realized that what a daughter wants, a daughter gets. Being a father is still a new feeling for me and I’m praying I don’t mess things up before she could turn into an adult. Everyday I keep walking around her like she’s an egg, pampering and loving her the best way I could and even though Vanessa complained about it once, I had to let her know I was trying to make up for the lost days. “Where’s my cute little angel?” My mom inquired as she walked into the house. Her bodyguards were outside the door, that I’m sure of. She never went anywhere without them.“I guess i don’t e

Richard’s POV Two hours after my mom left, I still couldn’t get over her revelation. It was shocking and I was surprised. Finding out that I have a brother somewhere in the world was a strange feeling. I’ve always known myself as a single child and I don’t even know how to feel right now. Mom said I was a product of my father’s extra marital affair, that I knew about but having a brother was not the type of package I was ready to accept. I felt withdrawn from Vanessa and Racheal all of a sudden, it was as if a cold bucket of water was poured all over me. I had rejected myself to the chair placed in my kitchen. Thinking back and forth about what I should do. Should I call this my so called brother and ask him about our mother? Can I even call her mother? Yes! She’s my biological mother, but will it be right if I call her mother despite the fact that it was easy for her to give me away to another woman. She never showed up for years and she never cared about how I was surviving or

Richard’s POV We arrived at the Palace few days after and we were welcomed by my mom, dad and other important royal cabinet members. My mom couldn’t stop gushing about Vanessa and her grandchild. I knew how much it was difficult for her to accept that the relationship between her and I might change after my biological mother had surfaced, still I didn’t let it bother me.We were eating at the dining table when one of my uncles started up a conversation that he couldn’t finish. “When are you going to meet up with your mother Richard?” Uncle Thomas was a distant relative. He was more of dad’s childhood friend than family. Even though I never had any string attached to him or any of his families, I had to respect him and knew he had to know his boundaries too. “My mother is right here, so what are you talking about?” I purposely said that as I understood his question very well.“I mean your biological mother, Richard. A woman can bring up a child but that doesn’t say mean she’s the ch
