Belinda's POVWhile the whole town talks about Jake and his arrest because he stole trust money, my mother-in-law plans a reveal party. She is the only one who knows the gender of the child. While I am relieved that Jake and Sarah are out of our lives, my mother-in-law is going crazy with decorations and other stuff she plans for the party. I do not know what we can expect from her anymore because this will be a costly reveal party. However, this is the first grandchild she will experience throughout pregnancy and birth. They love Connor, and I can not complain. They treat him like a crown prince. She deserves to do what she is doing for my unborn child. She's only a grandmother, and I know she wants the best for all her grandchildren, but this is the first one she will be there for from the start. I know this will be a long day. The party is today. Chase has been complaining the whole time while his mother was planning it, as he does not like parties like this. I know he is concerne
Belinda's POV I am glad the gender reveal party is over. I am so happy I am expecting a little girl. We have not thought of a name for her yet. I was thinking of calling my daughter Caroline. I always like the name Caroline. We can call her Carol for short. I will have to talk to Chase about it. Perhaps you have something else in mind. I am open to ideas, as I will not do something without my husband and I deciding about it together. It is his child, too. I did not give him a chance to choose Connor's name. But then again, he was not around. Not that it was his fault, because he did not know about Connor. Amanda is at her last, and she and Nick are staying next to us as Nick bought Chase's house. I am glad that my sister is close by. So if she needs me during the night, I am just next door.We were just about to sleep when Nick came running over to us. Connor is also still up since it is the weekend. I can see Nick is in a panic. I know Amanda is about to give birth. We ran outside w
Nick's POVI know all I can do now is wait. I am here with Amanda and hate seeing her in pain. She puts on a brave face, and I hold her hand as she has to endure the pain. My hand feels numb as she presses it every time the pain becomes too much. The doctor has arrived and tells her he will tell her when she can start pushing. I know the pain must be killing her. The doctor asks if she wants anything for the pain, but she refuses. She does not want any help. She desires to bring this child into the world normally. I admired her for it. But if I were her, I would have taken something for the pain because I am sure that no man can stand the pain that a woman goes through when she gives birth. It must be awful. After a while, the doctor tells Amanda to start pushing. Everything goes according to plan.We will have a set boy, and we have decided to call him Mason. I am glad Jake cannot interfere, as he is in prison. I'm so happy he's out of our lives and can even bother us again. By the t
Chase's POVWe all wait. Luckily, we are dressed now. We went to the bathrooms and got dressed. We put our pajamas in the suitcases that the servant sent with Nick's father. At last, Nick comes walking to us. He is smiling, and he looks delighted. I cannot believe my friend, who once was such a player, is now a father. "Our little boy, Mason, is healthy. Amanda is fine. Everything went fine, except I fainted. Chase, you can laugh at me, but wait until your turn comes. At least I am done. You still have to stand next to your wife when she gives birth. It's not easy to see the woman you love endure so much pain. And don't say yes if the doctor asks you if you want to watch when the baby gets born. There's a lot of blood and stuff, and that's where I fainted," Nick says. I'm not going to laugh at him because I am also not one that can stand blood, especially not if it comes from somebody that I love."Congratulations, my friend. I cannot believe you are a father. I would have laughed if
Belinda's POVYesterday was the final argument of all the parties involved in the murder of my mother. The months have gone by fast. Today, the jury will decide what will happen to my father, his wife, and those who helped them. I cannot wait to hear the results. They are guilty. Everybody that has been following the case has the same feeling as I have. They will go to prison for life. However, I know my father and how he is. I do not know if he got to the jury. I do not believe that they can, but one never knows. So I am very nervous. My father can be very charming, and I have seen him trying his best to persuade the jury that he is innocent. Amanda's mother had to get a lawyer. Jake can no longer practice and is in jail. Amanda and I leave for court. Chase will get us there. Connor will stay with his grandparents after school. I hope that the jury has reached its verdict. I want justice for my mother, and I want my revenge. My mother did not deserve to die the way that she did, and
Belinda's POVIt has been a long time since I have been at my mother's grave. I never wanted to go because I always felt guilty. I thought I let her down because I did nothing to prevent her death or to avenge her. Today, my heart is hurting because I know I am saying goodbye to her again. I remember her funeral. There were many people because she was very popular in this city. My father pretended to be sad. I knew it was fake. I knew he had something to do with her death because he also looked guilty. People who didn't know him did not understand how guilty he looked. However, I knew how guilty he looked because he couldn't look me in the eyes. I knew he had a girlfriend. My mother called me and told me she was distraught. I thought he felt guilty because of his girlfriend. But when I found out that my mother wanted to divorce him, I knew that he had something to do with her death, as he never wanted to lose her money. I tried to calm her over the phone. I didn't know it was the last
Nick's POVAmanda and Belinda are in court today, awaiting the jury's verdict. I offered to watch Mason. How difficult can it be watching a baby? He sleeps most of the time. He is sleeping in his little crypt next to me. I watch TV while he sleeps. I got bottles made, which are in the warmer to keep them warm. I got nappies ready in case he gets wet. I am eating popcorn and watching a TV show. Mason is asleep, and I can hardly keep my eyes open because he is a little fellow who likes staying up at night. It keeps me and his mother up all night, and I don't mind because I love him as much as I love his mother. He has crept deep into my heart. Suddenly, all hell breaks loose as little Mason shows me how hard he can cry. I pick him up, and I get the most awful smell. It is coming from Mason, and that is not a good sign. I was prepared for wet nappies, not for this. I feel the vomit pushing up in my throat. I wanted to have a peaceful day to myself. So I gave all the servants off. I order
Belinda's POVAmanda and I laughed at the video that Chase sent us. Poor Nick at least he tried. Well, they are clean after everything. I think it will take the mates a few days to clean the bathroom. We are on our way home when my phone rings. I did not know the number, so I answered it. I almost put down the phone when I hear who it is. I do not have time for this."Belinda, please don't put down the phone. I want to talk to you. Can you come and see me in jail?" My father's voice sounds from the other side of the phone. What the hell does he want from me?"What do you want from me? Haven't you put us all through hell enough? Amanda and I like to move on with our lives and forget we had a father like you. I do not know who you think you are. Don't call me again, please," I say, but my father talks before I can hang up. "Please, I want to apologize to you. I need to see you and Amanda. Amanda and you are all that I have. You are my children. I haven't even seen my grandsons. It's be
