Hailey was having a quiet tea with Henry. Together they had watched the viral video of the crash scene at the bridge and how Edward had flown in to save Diana.It was all over the internet including the family feud that was witnessed by passerbys between Ryan and Edward.People were still waiting patiently for answers but after a month there was nothing. Edward had handed the company to his most trusted man and instructed him not to grant any interviews and reject every calls.Hailey was glad Edward found Diana after all and although Edward was refusing her calls she hoped that Diana and the unborn kids are doing okay.Tantrums and vile words were no longer thrown at Diana. After all, the citizens had witnessed Stephanie save the her and even shot at the man who had threatened Diana and the unborn kids. This left the entire Illinois in confusion. Not to add to the fact that they were all ashamed of how they'd jumped into conclusions and cursed at an innocent woman."Have you tried cal
Pulling off his coat, Edward stormed into the hospital while sweating. He tossed the coat aside and immediately found his way to the reception with Hailey and Henry following behind."I'm-""The VIP room, sir" the receptionist answered before he finished speaking. "The last floor." she further described and Edward raced towards the elevator.Since Hailey and Henry were not up to his pace, they were left out of the elevator.Edward's heart was jumping in anxiety. Alone in the elevator he could hear his heart beat racing rapidly. If Stephanie hadn't been around and willing to help...his thought trailed off. He blamed himself for not being frequent with the due date. He was completely occupied and didn't want to show Diana and his unborn kids to the public yet. However,He stepped out of the elevator and picked up a steady race. Luckily, his eagle eyes spotted Stephanie afar off. When he got there, she approached him totally panic-stricken."Where is she?" Edward askedStephanie's eyes t
The whole Illinois was thrown into jubilation in the early hours of October fifteen. Groups of Stephanie's fans that had now turned Diana's fans had come with lots of gifts and flowers but they were not allowed into the hospital.Still, this did not baffle them. They sang and expressed their happiness carrying beautifully decorated banners all over the streets. It was celebration galore.Meanwhile, Diana was yet to regain consciousness. Earlier that morning she had opened her eyes but closed them almost immediately. The doctor explained to the Collins' that she needed adequate amount of rest after being in labor for nine hours.Edward was super excited and Stephanie too. In fact as they stared at the baby boys in the crib she agreed that she could never have brought herself to murder this handsome creatures.She couldn't stop checking on them. Hailey was equally excited while Henry had spent some time admiring the new kids before he went off to the company.A while later, some of Hail
Hailey showed equal surprise. But more than that she was happy and grateful. She had little hope of seeing Diana and also her grandchildren. As she came and stood in front of her, Diana had no idea what to do. She wondered whether to apologize. She didn't know what to expect because during her stay at the mansion, her and Hailey were close enough to pass for mother and daughter. Since she has been away for few months it was only natural to jump into her mother's arms and hug her tightly.Edward kissed her forehead and whispered, "It's the surprise" and then he left them. After a moment of silence, Diana parted her lips and spoke with her head lowered, "I..I don't know if I still have the privilege to call you mother." she lifted her head with tears in her eyes. In order to vindicate herself, she could easily explain that her sister was the mastermind but then again, she wouldn't do that."I'm to blame to everything," she began "I accepted to be a surrogate because my life was hard
The upcoming wedding ceremony of Edward and Diana shutdown the whole Illinois. Everyone was talking about the pre-wedding photos and they all anticipated the wedding day. People were curious where the wedding would take place.A day before the wedding, the location was revealed and half the population were disappointed. It was to take place at the beach and no one knows why sophisticated couples like Edward and Diana chose such a location.No one was as disappointed as high school girls who had lied to their parents the school had organized a trip. A whooping sum was allocated to their accounts and the girls were beyond elated. This is because they had guessed that the wedding would be overseas, possibly Paris, England or even Dubai. So they had duped their parents of a huge amount of money at the expense of being caught and expelled by the school. Despite this huge risk, they were not frightened of the consequences because they would do and give anything to attend Diana and Edward's w
I walked into a big mansion.I held my breath for a second.The ceilings were high end with sparkling chandeliers hanging down.The curtains were beautiful and fluffy and they moved with the slightest wind.I wrapped my hands around my arms.I couldn't count the numerous air conditioners in the room.It was very large that for a second,I thought I have come to the wrong place.This was the second largest mansion I was seeing,after that of my foster parents."Miss Valdez,this way please" a woman in white apron gestured and I stopped my admiration of the place and followed her.We moved further down and came before a steel door.The apron lady pressed a button and the door pushed open before them.I stepped in along with her and my heart almost jumped out of my chest the moment it started moving.It was moving so fast that I had no other option than to grab the lady beside me,for fear of falling.Not that I had never been in an elevator,but this..the speed of this one could easily tell anyone
I went into the kitchen with a grumbling stomach but my hopes were dashed the moment I opened an empty fridge."No!" I sighed in deep frustration.I can't keep living like this! Especially being a burden on Lillian.It tugs at my heart that one day she might just get tired and throw me out.I had met her at a high pub where she once worked.Then I had no home.I never had a home anyway! I lived in a foster home and I cannot remember how I came there.Although,I remember begging the owner of the pub to let me spend the night.Not that my foster parents weren't rich but they had so much on their plates now that they didn't have time to think of me.I felt old enough to earn money so I left the house and started work in the pub.One thing I hate in life is being a burden.Maybe I should go see them tomorrow.It's been a while I've set eyes on them.I sensed that my time with Lillian was gradually coming to an end.I was supposed to stay for a month but a month had exceeded to three months plus a
This was the third day after I met that nasty Stephanie Collins.Due to the slight argument I had with Lilian I decided to go back to my foster parents.I packed my bags down when it occured to me that they may not be staying there anymore.There was still a higher chance that they still live there.I dropped my bags and decided to check first and then come for my bags later.Lilian wasn't home yet but I hoped to leave before she comes.I pulled my hoody up and began the journey.I watched the cars zoom past me,the birds flying across the sky until I arrived at the street.I turned left.Even if it was almost summer,the cold still lingered.The street was the same,scattered debris here and there by each sides of the road."Good morning,Miss Lowell" I greeted a lady across the road.She was mowing the grasses in her little cottage.I still remember her.A very good friend of my foster parents."What are you doing back here,Diana? I thought you would have been married already."I smiled.Miss Lo
