Back at Martin's house, After Susan made sure that Martin was gone, she dialed a number that had not been dialed in a long time.
"Hello, the mission is done." Susan said the moment the phone went through.
"Good. Although it took you long enough." A reverberated laugh was heard from the other end of the phone.
"Try to take pictures of you two being intimate. I think that will be the torture to her."
"Okay. Rest assured I will not fail you." Susan said and hung up the phone.
...
Meanwhile, in Albert's study room...
"What happened that night 9 months ago was a mistake." Velma stated.
"How could you know that it was not fate?" Albert asked.
"I'm pretty sure someone set me up but I had not had time to investigate since I literally stayed at home and had no time to go out for the last few months." Velma said.
"So what are going to do? Just leave me like that? Are you going to deny me the chance of even being a father to my own baby?" Albert asked.
"You know I was taken advantage too. I did not mean to sleep with you but the drug in you was too strong. It could have affected you." Albert said.
Velma did not dare look at his eyes. Although it had already been 9 months since the incident, she vaguely remembered what had happened that night.
"Look Albert, I appreciate that you want to take care of me the problem is I already have a boyfriend." Velma said.
"Does he know that you already have a baby?" Albert asked.
"No. He has not been in the country and I did not want to tell him on the phone. I was waiting for him to come back before I explain it to him in person!" Velma said.
"Do you really love him?" Albert asked as he looked at Velma with a deep gaze.
"Of course I do. We have been together for four years when I was in college." Velma said her aura turning gentle and sweet.
"I see..." Albert nodded with some disappointment.
"I want you take a look at this." Albert said as he handed her a brown envelope. Velma looked at him suspiciously but still took it.
Inside was all the information that Albert had gathered within the last nine months. After that night, he also felt that things were not so simple. It had everything that had happened that fateful night.
As Velma read, her expression became more ugly. At last her face had already turned into different shades of colour from red to pink to white, she did not know what she was feeling right now.
"Winnie.... Winnie... Winnie....." She called that name three time, her whole body trembling with unknown fear.
How much did she hate her? To even do something so vicious. If she had gone to her room.... Velma clutched her head and did not want to think about it anymore.
Ruining someone's life was easy. How could Winnie be so vicious? They had been rivals since college but even Velma did not know what they were fighting for. She just knew that Winnie hated her and they have never been on the same page.
Albert went forward and hugged her. He leaned her head on his broad chest and consoled her patiently.
Velma's phone rung forcing her to calm down. When she saw it was her father calling, her tear-strained face lit up with obvious joy.
"Dad you finally called." Velma said in an excited tone.
During the past few days, she had missed her dad so much. Sometimes she almost dialed his number but resisted the temptation in the end. After what happened, she wanted her father to calm down first.
"Come to the company right now and pick your stuff. You no longer need to come to work." Martin's cold voice was heard through the phone.
The warmth and gentleness that Velma was used to was nowhere to be seen.
Velma's heart instantly fell to the bottom of hell. She felt that she was walking in the cold ice barefoot. Her heart hurt so much that she felt a test of blood in her mouth.
She thought that her father loved her so much and whatever happened, he will always be there for her. It never crossed her mind that he will change so suddenly that he will not want to have anything to do with her.
Did he really believe that she was not his biological daughter?
"Aaaaah." Velma let out a painful scream and fainted. She could not take all of this in. Her heart was not as strong as she thought. Although she had prepared for the worst, but this was beyond what she could have ever imagined.
Albert was startled when Velma fainted in his arms and immediately called the doctor.They gave her a IV drop and after confirming that she was not in any dangerous situation, Albert was relieved.Gift might have felt the distress of his mother and he too started to cry. The baby sitting nanny tried to calm him down by giving him milk, but he could not stop crying."Master, young master can't stop crying. I have changed his diaper, washed him and even gave him milk, but he is still crying." The nanny's voice reached Albert's ears the moment he stepped out of the room.Albert looked at the little dumpling crying hysterically in the nanny's hands and felt a headache."Let me hold him." Albert said as he stretcher out his hands to hold his baby.
In the car, looking at the woman whose face had turned pale, Albert knew that she had suffered. "What happened?" He asked softly as he helped her fasten the seat belt. "Nothing. I thought that my dad would at least want to see me but I was wrong. Maybe the affection we've had for each other died that day. He wants nothing to do with me." Velma said, having a complicated feeling in her heart. "I'm sorry, this is all my fault." Albert said, blaming himself. If he had controlled his desires, this would not have happened. "It is not your fault. You actually saved me in a way. If it had happened the way Winnie had planned, I'm pretty sure I will be dead by now." Velma said. "Don't worry about me. I will get over it soon. It is just that I don't know where I can start looking for a job." Velma said, closing her eyes. Just then her cell phone rung. It was Alvin calling. "Hello, dear. Where are you?" Alvin's gentle voice came through t
Arriving in the car, her face was as white as a sheet of paper. Albert was worried as he handed her a bottle of water."What happened? Why do you look so pale?" He asked, his voice filled with concern."Just drive." Velma said in a weak voice. Albert did not say anything else and started the car.Back in the hotel. Alvin did not know why his heart was stuffed the moment Velma walked out of that door. He could not bear to see her heartbroken but Winnie was holding onto him tightly and refusing to let go."Now that you have ended things with Velma, we can officially be together without any problem, right?" Winnie said lightly, fearing that she might hurt Alvin's feelings."Mmmm." He said absent mindedly.He did not know what he was feeling but he knew that his heart was filled with regret. He did not know if he has made the right decision.He actually knew Velma better than anyone else and she will never do anything to
When Brenda received the text containing the address, she was shocked. The place where Velma was, not anybody could get in. She knew that Velma were rich but not to the extent of affording a house in that place. The least price of a house in that district was in millions. Only the richest people in the country could afford a house in Karen estate. It was a home for most prominent business men and prominent politicians in the country. Casting away her doubts, Brenda took a taxi. Reaching the gates, she found someone waiting for her. Even the taxis were not allowed to hover around the area, the moment it dropped her, the driver drove away in a hurry. ''Are you miss Brenda?" The maid waiting for her asked politely. "Yes and you are?" Brenda asked. The maid did not answer her question and only smiled at politely. "Missus sent me to wait for you here, this way please." "Missus?" Brenda was shocked and looked at t
"The baby is too small. How do you hold it?" Brenda asked trying to hold Gift. He was just too small that she feared she might hurt him. After Velma taught her how to hold the baby well without hurting him, Brenda was delighted. She held the baby in her hands as she made funny faces at him. Although baby Gift could not understand, he smiled seeing that the person carrying him was smiling. Brenda was over the moon. "Velma, did you see that. He smiled at me. Did he recognize that I'm his godmother. Aaah his smiles... woah, this cute little thing will be a charmer when he grows up." "Stop exaggerating. He has not yet started to recognize people. He is still too young not even a month old." Velma said. Her eyes and smile were filled with motherly love. Albert walked down the stairs. Hearing the lady say that his baby boy was cute, his face bloomed with a warm smile. "Is this your friend." Albert asked when he reached where the ladies
"So you mean that after giving birth, you needed blood transfusion, you dad offered to donate but because your blood type doesn't match he concluded that you're not his daughter?" Brenda asked."That is what I was told when I woke up. I did not believe it untill Susan came flaunting how my dad has left me because I'm not his daughter. She played some tricks then the hospital threw me out.""You were away so I couldn't contact you. I was alone on the road and on the verge of giving up when Albert appeared. It so cold with a new born baby and no money. That was the most desperate moment of my life. I was even planning on abandoning my baby and maybe a good samaritan will pick him up but then he appeared.""I was guarded against him at first when I recognised him. I thought that he knew about my pregnancy and now he has come to take my baby away. But I fainted and when I woke up I was already here." Velma finished narrating her story.Brenda was so heartbrok
One month later, Velma was all recovered and was planning to start her new job at Albert's company."Today is your first day at work, are you nervous?" Albert asked as he saw the woman all dressed up and glistening. He was so mesmerized that he did not want to like away. The more he stayed with her, the more his feelings for her deepened."Of course I am. I'm going to meet new colleagues and new friends, I should probably be sweating buckets right now." Velma said honestly.It has been more than 11 months since she has stepped foot into an office or touched any work designs. When she got pregnant her father immediately forbade her from going to the company with the fear that she might hurt her baby. She stayed at home all through and never left even once."Thank you." Velma said. She knew very well that the Gulf Financial Group did not invest in jewellery, but because of her, Albert has taken a step forward to start in investing in jewelry. She is e
In the meeting, after Velma finished her presentation, the room was dead silent as everyone looked at her with amazement. She did not notice the wonder in their eyes as she became nervous."Have I overdone it? What will I do. Where did I mess up?" She thought as she looked at Albert who was sitting at the head of the huge conference table.Albert gave her a reassuring gaze and cleared his throat.The board members were jolted back to their senses by their CEO coughed. They looked slightly embarrassed as they have been lost in Velma's presentation.But they were old sly foxes so they could not show their embarrassment easily.Everyone started clapping in the conference room. Velma felt that her ears will definitely turn deaf."That was good, very good Miss Velma. I have always been a love of jewelry and seeing your designs, I fell in love with them. I think venturing into this business is a good idea." One of the executives gave his sin
