Patricia walked downstairs, only to see the food she cooked herself and instructed the chef to serve her husband left untouched on the dining table.“Grace! Grace!!”The young lady rushed out of the kitchen, straight to the dining room. “Yes, ma'am.”“Why is the food still here? Didn't I instruct you to serve my husband the food before he leaves for work?” Patricia yelled at her.Grace shook her head. “Yes, ma'am. I served the food when he was still here, but he said he would rather not eat.”“What… What? Did you tell him that I was the one who prepared this food specially for him?” Patricia freaked out.“I did, ma'am. He was going to eat the food, but immediately I informed him that it was prepared by you, then he said he wasn't hungry.” Grace replied.Upon hearing what Grace said, Patricia clenched her fist in annoyance. Ever since she came back to the house with her child, Justin has been treating her coldly. Obviously, he was only nice to her because she was carrying his child.Te
Valerie couldn't get what Audrey had told her off her mind. Was she really in love with the almighty President Ethan Davison? That's not possible, right?She packed some snacks into her bag, absentmindedly, that she didn't realize when Susan walked into the room. “Wow! So many snacks! Is there a party ?”Still not paying attention, Valerie kept mute. Susan stared at her, and found out she was even listening to her. “Val! Val!! Are you listening?” Susan half yelled, smacking her out of her thoughts.Valerie flinched as she turned swiftly. “Uhm… Have you been there long?”“Of course, it's quite unfortunate that you weren't listening to me. I have been talking, young lady, and I was expecting your response.” Susan snorted, sitting on the bed beside her.Valerie breathed heavily. “I'm sorry. You were saying?”“Where's your mind at? You look absentminded.” Susan asked anxiously.Valerie gulped hard. “I don't know if you are the right person for me to ask this question. I think I should as
Valerie was still staring at him with furrowed eyebrows. What would her ex-boyfriend, who happened to be her sister's husband, be doing in her house?“What do you want, Justin? What are you doing here?” Valerie asked impatiently.He gulped hard and cleared his throat. “I came here to see you, Valerie. I want to know why you sent back the package that I sent for you as a present.”“Why are you making life difficult for me? Is it so difficult for you to understand? You are married for God's sake, Justin. Worst still, you're married to my sister. I've told you that you should stop sending me presents because I just want you to focus on your family and…” Valerie was still speaking, but Justin interrupted.“I don't have any family. You are the only family that I want, Valerie. Don't you understand? I was being deceived by your step-sister. I have no love for her because I never stopped loving you.” Justin replied.Trying hard to get a hold of herself, Valerie freaked out. “You never stoppe
“What do you mean by that, Ethan? Do you really know who you're talking about?” Rebecca scoffed.Valerie, on the other hand, stared at President Ethan with her eyebrows furrowed. “I… I… I don't understand.”“You heard me, Rebecca. She has every right to be here because she's my daughter's biological mother.” Ethan repeated, throwing Rebecca in a trance.Little Audrey quickly got up from the bed where she was seated, and held her father's wrist. “Daddy, is she my real mother?”“Uhm… Sir, I think there is a mix-up somewhere. I mean, I can't possibly be the mother of your daughter. There's no way that we'll be true.” Valerie forced a smile.“I mean every single word I said, and I can't just lie about anything that has to do with my darling daughter. She's too important to me, and I can't lie about her mother.” President Ethan smirked.Rebecca staggered backwards as tears circulated in her eyes. “That's not true. I don't believe you, she can't be Audrey's mother. Have you forgotten, so so
“More… More wine.” Rebecca beckoned her servant. There were about six empty bottles of wine lying on the ground beside her.Belching drunkenly, she gulped down the wine that her servant had filled in the glass she was holding. She laughed hysterically and then burst into laughter.“What does she have that I don't have? Of all the women in the world, why does it have to be Valerie who is Audrey's mother? I can't take this anymore.” She wailed.The thought that Valerie was gradually taking Ethan from her made her freak out the more. “Hey! Am I not beautiful? Can't I also have a baby?” She tapped the servant.Gulping hard, the dismayed servant shook her head. “You… You are beautiful, ma'am.”“You liar!” She suddenly yelled at her. The servant flinched in fear.“I… I'm sorry, ma'am. I didn't mean to annoy you. Please forgive me.” The servant begged.Rebecca snorted. “How dare you lie to me? If you are telling the truth, then why doesn't he love me the way he cares about Valerie? It's be
“From now onwards, Valerie Watson will no longer be a Nanny or a servant of this mansion. She should be treated with respect because she's my daughter's mother. Do you understand?” The queued up servants chorused. “Yes, President.”Valerie gasped. Tears of joy filled her eyes, and rolled down her cheeks. Who would have thought that she would become a member of such a noble family.“I can't believe I'm your mommy, Audrey. Does that mean that I'm no longer your nanny?” Valerie sat on the bed.Giggling excitedly, Audrey nodded her head. “Of course, Mom. I don't want you to be my nanny anymore. What I've always wanted was a mom, not a nanny.”“Oh, dear! What would I do without you? Thank God, I had such an adorable and intelligent child. Who would have thought that you were my daughter all along.” Valerie chuckled.Valerie got up from the bed, and rushed to the drawer, searching anxiously for something.“What is it, baby? What are you looking for?” Valerie asked curiously.Audrey chuckle
Blood oozed out of her stabbed chest as she slumped on the ground. “This should teach you a lesson in hell. Don't you dare get any close to what is mine.”Rebecca's words kept resounding in her ears as she jumped up from the bed, sweating profusely.Valerie quickly placed her hand on her chest to check if she was really bleeding from the stab.“It was a dream! It was a dream!!” She panted heavily. Glancing at the wall clock, it was 5am. Fear gripped her. She couldn't go back to sleep for fear that she might be stabbed to death by Rebecca. Still lost in thought, her cell phone beeped.Reluctantly, she picked it up and stared at the message she had just received. It was from her father.“It's my birthday this Saturday. Your stepmother will be throwing me a party. I hope you can attend, child.”Exhaling deeply, she shook her head. She had already forgotten that it was her father's birthday anniversary this weekend. Countless things had been going on that she had forgotten very vital th
“I'm… I'm sorry” She stammered, and sprang up immediately. Ethan smirked mischievously. “Are you missing me so badly, Valerie? So, bad that you couldn't wait until tomorrow morning, huh? Tell me, what are you doing here?”“I… Actually, I just wanted to ask for your permission. It's my father's birthday this weekend, and Pere… I thought maybe you could let me go with Audrey. I mean, it's okay if you don't want her to go with me. Furthermore, I just…” Valerie continued stuttering.Ethan snapped. “Okay! Permission granted!”Gasping hard, Valerie blinked hard to make sure she wasn't dreaming. “Really? Are you really going to let Audrey attend my father's birthday?”“Yes! Isn't that what you want? And you don't need to tell me that this is precisely what Audrey wants.” Ethan sat on the couch.Valerie smiled broadly. “Oh, thank you so much. I promise, I'll make sure she's safe.”“You should, of course. She's your daughter, after all.” Ethan replied with a snort.Upon hearing that, Valerie
