Harden was shocked, his hands held tight on his wheelchair wheel as he looked at Adele, her face, her hair, the color of her eyes. It’s all different from the girl he was shown to be the mother of his kids. As she nervously looks at him, he sees his little daughter in her. “What’s the meaning of this? explain to me, are you the sister to the mother of my twin?” Harden asked as he was confused at the looks. “I have no sister, I’m Adele Hennston, the mother of the twin,” she said for Harden to scoff. “Jokes,” he said for Adele to shake her head. “It’s not a joke, I’m the… “Shut the fuck up, their mother is dead, she died while giving birth to….. “No, it’s all lies, Harden. Your mother kept me away for the nine months I was pregnant with the twins. I never wanted you to know when I found out I was pregnant but she insisted I give out the babies and act dead towards them or not she would kill them and also kill me. I didn’t want anything to happen to them that’s why I stayed
Harden bows his head as everything about his life for the past five years is turning a new leaf. If it comes out to be true, he can’t explain how he will react not just to his mother but to his trusted assistant. “Ah,” Adele gasped as the needle pierced into her skin to drag out some blood for testing. “Daddy” they all heard Zia's little voice call as he tiny step rushed towards the study. Immediately, Harden rides his wheelchair to the door. He opened it and drove himself out closing it behind him. “Daddy!!” Zia hugged her father giggling. “Where’s Miss Maya, I made something for her” Adele heard her daughter say which made her smile. Franklin looked at her as he gently removed the needle from her skin. “They have gotten fond of you,” he says for Adele to nod. “He thought them little manners” she responded for Franklin to chuckle. “If what you said is true, a new chapter will begin, and trust me, for you, it won’t be easy. I will do the test and hope for a good result
The dining hall was silent, Adele's ears were ringing from the thunderous sound that landed on her face. Amid the quiet room, Zia's crying voice brought back the atmosphere and Harden rode his wheelchair towards his crying daughter. “Come honey” Harden tried to carry his daughter but she ran away. Zayn also left the adults who stood in silence. “Thomas” Harden called his butler who rushed towards him. “Take Amaya out of here, she’s suspended,” he said for Adele to look at him. “You are suspended until further notice. Mom” Harden called looking at his mother. Adele couldn’t hold her tears so she left in running tears. “My maids are not for you to hit mother,” Harden said for Maria to scoff. “She dares talk back at me Harden, how dare…. “She’s doing her job mother, her job is to take care of the twin no matter what, she’s doing her job,” Harden said for Maria to scoff. “I see. Then it’s her job also to talk back at me right? Is that the reason she got only a suspension?
Gwen happily sat facing Zach who arranged his suit after sitting down. She last saw Harden when she was seventeen and that was when his mother invited her over for dinner warning her to stay away from her son. She felt heartbroken but also understood after his mother explained to her why Harden did not need a woman in his life. She left to never look back but every day, she hoped he would come looking for her, anytime she saw him on TV, the love they once shared had a renewing day. Even after hearing he had a secret marriage with one of New York's popular models, she cried but still felt one day Harden McCall the guy they both had a high school love would come back to her. She smiles still looking at Zach as deep down she prays this is a welcome to the McCall. “My madam wants you for dinner this evening, it’s very important, Note that you might not be coming back anytime soon.” He said for Gwen to look at him. “What’s with the dinner and me not coming back?” She asks for Zach
The gym was filled with awkward expressions from the men around while they looked at laughing Harden. Harden laughed so hard that tears began to fall from his eyes, Aiden knows this is no laughter but a disguise for tears because of the betrayal from his assistant. After a few minutes, Harden stopped and fell into silence before he scoffed. “You are suspended, you know too much to be fired,” he said for Simon to immediately begin to plead. “I’m sorry boss, I only followed the chairwoman inst… “Is my mother your Employee? Was she the one who taught you your job? Was she the one you swore your loyalty to?” Harden asked squeezing the papers in his palm. “Get the fuck out, seeing you irritates me, Simon,” he said for Simon to bow his head. “I’m sorry boss,” he said for Harden to chew his jaw. Simon kept kneeling with his head down. “Leave Simon, once your suspension is over he will let you know,” Aiden said for Simon to sigh. “Yes sir,” he said standing up.“Before you f
Harden watched as Adele removed the mask, he kept his eyes on her until she took it off and she held it arranging her coil red hair and letting them bounced back. Her pale skin and green eyes made Harden swallow hard. When she took off the mask for the first time, he didn’t stare but now, he could not help it as he swallowed hard at the beautiful woman standing in his front. Adele was shy to look at Harden so she kept her head down. He could see where his daughter's pale skin and red hair came from, he bowed his head sighing. “I’m sorry you have to be away from them and when you want to get close, I’m sorry you have to use that,” he said for Adele to gasp. “No sir, I…. “It’s all my fault. I didn’t look for you myself.” He said riding himself to his table and opening the drawer bringing out a file. He opens it and hands it over to Adele with a pen. “Sign at the place you see your name.” He said to surprise Adele to look at him. “ you can go through it if you want, but tr
The morning was bright and it was Monday, little Zia heard a whisper-like voice which made her open her eyes. “Honey” Adele's gentle voice called trying to wake her daughter up for school. The little girl sat up yawning before she looked at Adele. “Are you my mommy?” She asked for Adele to nod smiling. “I’m sorry honey, I couldn’t come for… “Why?” She asked looking at Adele. “I have been living with the thought that my mama is dead. I watched other children in school hug their mama and even on parents' day, dad couldn’t come only grandma and Nana. Why did you stay away?” The girl asks for Adele to tear up. “I really want to be there Zee, I swear. I….” Adele can’t spoil Maria for the kids, she feels if she told them Maria was the reason they were apart, they would direct the hate to her and it would be risky for her and the children. “You swear what? you don’t like dad?” She asks for Adele to smile. “I like your daddy, Zia, I was scared and naive when you both were bo
Lisa was devastated, her eyes were red, she left the mansion and asked the driver to take her to Harden mansion. Apart from the hate and everything, she genuinely loves Harden but he’s the one pushing her away, she has tried her best to let him know she loves him but he doesn’t give her the attention talk more to listen and now she has to compete with his high school lover who has a higher probability of being accepted not just by Harden but also his kids and mother. She cleaned her eyes and kept rubbing her stomach wishing she didn’t remove the child earlier. Lisa was so angry and she began to develop hatred she had tried to suppress earlier. “ stupid family,” she said removing the ring on her finger. The car drove into the mansion, immediately the guards saw it was Lisa they rushed towards her and stopped her from going into the mansion. “ how dare you ask me to go back” Lisa furiously said as she tried to walk towards the mansion entrance. “Please let the madam in” Butle
