Five Years Later…A mess, that was what the apartment looked like. Papers and toys appeared to be scattered at every corner of the apartment. Kyla facepalmed herself as she breathed out in frustration at the usual norm that welcomed her back almost every evening. She removed the heels she had worn, feeling her feet relax as she had been standing for a presentation for hours.“Dylan! Where are you?” She called out loudly but received no response, making her chuckle as she remembered what day it was. Of course that's why everything was scattered, it was the weekend.Life in New Jersey had been nothing short of amazing. Kyla smiled as she remembered the day she received her blessing at the hospital. It was not easy, if she were to be honest, nothing was easy for her. Yet here she was an owner of her interior designing company. It was a far more blessing than she could ever ask for.The door opened abruptly pulling her out of her thoughts. “Mommy, mommy, guess what Aunt Amber bought fo
Sweat beads rolled in his face down to his almost bare chest as he increased his speed on the treadmill. After what seemed like ten minutes, Liam stopped wiping his face clear. He felt hands touch him from behind making his skin stiffen at the sudden intrusion.“Babe, if you're done, how about I help you relax, we haven't spent time together alone, I miss you,” Isabelle whispered into his ear trailing kisses on his shoulder region.Liam closed his eyes tightly, trying to control what he felt as he turned around to face her. “Isabelle it's been years can't you get the memo? I don't want to be with you,” Liam said, gritting his teeth in anger at Isabelle's persistent nature.After they got married, Isabelle had been clingy and if it were not for that drunken wedding night, Liam would never have touched her.“How can you say that, Li?” Isabelle asked, not knowing she had just poked her finger into a lion's nose. “What did you just call me?” Liam asked, his every word filled with anger.
Liam looked at the two women before him as he gulped down a glass of water in an attempt to bring himself back to reality.“What's happening here Isabelle? How is Stella here and alive?” Liam asked for the fourth time as the two women looked at him as if he were performing theatrics.“Well, Li it's really me, I survived, and I've been trying to locate you through Isabelle, but she always said you disappeared after the accident,” Stella said, but even a blind man could sense the devious intentions under her words.Isabelle held Liam's hands, he couldn't allow the situation to overturn and put her in the spotlight. “That's not true Liam, she knew all along you were my husband, I met her accidentally and trust me, I was shocked as you are,” Isabelle said, trying to divert the blame from her.Liam looked at the exchange between the two women, feeling disgusted at how much they struggled to blame each other.“Li I didn't…” Stella started, but Liam couldn't bear to listen to any more lies
At the apartment, Kyla confirmed yet again if the documents were intact and in order. She had an important deal to sign with the prominent company that was offering her company a contract.She needed to look presentable and alluring to ensure everything went on smoothly. “Baby, I have to leave for work, be good at school okay? And don't give Susan a hard time,” Kyla said to the boy, who nodded with a spoonful of cereal in his mouth.“Susan if you need anything, just call me okay?” Kyla said, bidding them goodbye. “Mommy, you promised to take me to your workplace today,” Dylan, who appeared to have swallowed his food in a hurry, whined, making Kyla smile.“Susan will bring you over after school okay, mommy will be busy for the morning hours, is that okay?” Kyla explained, noticing how happy he looked.“Okay mommy, bye,” Dylan agreed, throwing his hands up in joy.As Kyla drove out of the compound, she felt stupid for feeling anxious about the essential meeting she had prepared for, f
Amber felt her breath hitch at seeing her brother at the entrance. She felt her heart beat faster as she watched her fears come into reality.“Li? Justus?” Amber called out as she froze on one spot. “What are you doing here?” Liam asked, still contemplating whether to hug her or just stay glued to his spot. The joy of seeing his sister again was unexplainable.“Amber? How are you doing?” Justus asked mentally laughing at his confused behavior. Seeing her again was like a dream come true. Who would have thought that they would meet at the company.Liam set aside his son as he hugged his sister who was still speechless with a woman behind her who looked at them in confusion.The presentation turned into a reunion meeting as Amber couldn't keep her heart hard.“How are you here, Amber? Where's Kyla?” Liam asked, looking at Amber who held Dean in her arms.“Li, you know I can't talk about that, but I'm sure she's fine wherever she is,” Amber responded, evading his question as she prayed
Kyla froze with the boy in her hands, not sure how to react. She lifted her gaze, locking it with the man she never knew she would see again.“Hey, champ, how was school?” Kyla asked as she shifted her attention to her son.“It was good Mommy, I missed you so much,” Dylan said as he stretched his hands wide to show just how much he missed her.Liam watched the mother and son bond, feeling a lump form at his throat. How much had he missed while he focused on an ungrateful woman who did nothing else but lie?“Mommy, will you take me to have ice cream?” Dylan asked as his eyes sparkled in excitement.“I will but first go find your nanny Susan, I need to have a word with this gentleman,” Kyla said, not sure her son understood her words as she set him down.“My dad?” Dylan asked, looking at Liam who fought hard to find his smirk. It was surprising how the boy insisted on calling him dad. It gave him a sense of pride and joy.Kyla, on the other hand, felt her breath choke at her throat. “D
Tension gripped her nerves as she waited for the doctor to bring in the test results. She didn't feel well earlier at work, and she hoped it was what they had wished for, for over five years. Kyla Anders crossed her fingers whispering a silent wish in her heart as she saw the doctor approaching.“Hello Miss Kyla, this time I have good news for you, congratulations you are four weeks pregnant,” the doctor said smiling at her.Kyla couldn't contain her joy as she grabbed the test results, her eyes scanning for the confirmation. “Thank you doctor Liz, thank you,” she muttered on the verge of tears.“It's okay dear, I told you it will be well one day, congrats again,” Doctor Liz said wiping her tears. She had seen the couple struggle to have a child for years and being her mom's best friend, she took Kyla's joy as hers.Excitement shimmered inside her like lava, she couldn't wait to share the good news with her husband. She planned to prepare a colorful dinner for him. She wanted to mak
Kyla felt her world swirl around her, how could the world be so ruthless? Just when she thought she could finally fix her marriage. She closed her eyes tightly, trying to numb the pain in her heart.“Yes she is, so you better sign those papers and get your cheating ass out of my house!” Blake spat the poisonous words at her.Blake looked at the pitiful, shameless woman before him. To think he had loved her unconditionally through the years, he couldn't see past her betrayal. His heart stung at the look of betrayal and disappointment that covered her face. He planned to break it to her in a different way.“But what about our baby?” Kyla asked pitifully, not sure what she wanted to accomplish with her weak defense.Blake felt his heart race for a minute before the possibility of the baby being her lover's clouded him.Blake chuckled in scorn," you think I'm stupid enough to believe that bastard thing you're carrying is my child? I'm not that stupid, Kyla," He mocked, his sharp words sli
