"And what would that be?" Cecilia asked impatiently. "Raise my dead child back to life, " Isabel said and stood, she tore the divorce papers and threw the pen away, she walked away from her. Once Isabel arrived home, she sat numbly on her bed, the scene at the Dave's celebration event played before her, the part where her husband ridiculed her before everyone. She only let out a painful laugh. She had no appetite to eat, she slept with an empty stomach that night. When it was a Monday morning, Isabel took a cab to her new work place, Dewey's company. When she arrived there, she noticed an unusual atmosphere, it was an unfriendly one. Many of her colleagues who had welcomed her gleefully in previous days suddenly became cold towards her, she could not understand the reason for their sudden change as some were even gossiping about her. Could it be that Cecilia had influenced one of the workers that in turn came here to alter

'The Dave's family won the global contest' that was the heading of the news before Isabel, she was staring at her phone and her eyes were hurting badly. She should be glad her design won the global contest ,it only meant that she was very good and super talented. But she was sad, seeing that it was Cecilia who took the glory.She read part of the article and she saw that the company was even willing to offer a contract to the woman who made the design. She would have been the one  in this limelight but it's so sad that Cecilia stole that from her. ***The 117 years old monk was the man who awarded Isabel's design as the best of all designs. The monk was old but his vision was as clear as Crystal. It could be because he has enough money to take care of himself. The monk suddenly got interested in whoever it was that made the design, he wanted to see the designer before he dies. Whoever designs that must be super talented.  When the

Isabel gazed at her husband's face one more time. After she  must have signed the divorce papers, she would drop the title of Mrs. Dave and Nathaniel Dave would now be regarded as her ex husband. Nathaniel Dave's face held no emotion still. Isabel gave up all hope when she saw that the man won't alter his decision for any reason. Even though her hands were still shivering, she signed the divorce papers. The signature wasn't a perfect one cause of her shivering hand but she was still able to sign it. She felt like the cloud will fall on her and she felt like a big looser. Maybe it would have been better for her to sign his divorce papers a day after they got married. Isabel cried bitterly. Nathaniel Dave ignored the cries of the woman and took the divorce papers. 'She finally signed it,' he thought to himself. This would make Cecilia happy. He walked out of Isabel's house and ordered his driver to drive him back to the hospital tha

"Push harder! push!" the voices of the nurses sounded in Isabel's ear. After three minutes of labouring, the cry of a baby filled the room. Isabel let out a sigh of relief seeing that she was able to deliver her baby safely. Happiness abounded in her. Although she was weak, she ensured that her eyes were widely opened so she could view her new born child, she had no idea if the baby was a female or male yet, one of the nurses walked to her and let her view her baby, Isabel smiled at the baby and confirmed that the baby was a female. She could have had a male and a female daughter by now if Cecilia had not killed her son but she was happy that fate gave her another child. It's such a blessing. That she was able to have another child on this Earth is such a big blessing. She fell into a deep sleep. ***Irene, Isabel's chaperone carried Isabel's baby in her hands while they were home, Isabel lived in an extra large house built at th

Nathaniel Dave and Isabel appeared at the backyard of the building, they were standing on the balcony and from there,they could view the sky and the stars. It was dark and only the moon was a source of light, Nathaniel Dave stared at the moon for a while before he set his gaze on Isabel. "You said you wanted to see me," Isabel said gently. "Yes, I was expecting your call but you never called, Did you consider it bad for us to become friends?" Nathaniel Dave asked. "You do have a concubine that will soon become your wife, why should we be friends then? don't you think many people would have a different opinion about it? they would think that there is an affair going on between the both of us," Isabel said. "They can make whatever rumour they want out of our friendship, but our friendship will benefit the both of us, you should really consider it. By the ways, where is your husband?" Nathaniel Dave asked. He was interested in knowing
