"I want to go back to my father! Why can't I be with him and the bastard boys get to stay?" Titi cried out in frustration as she paced about the small room. Her mother lay on the bed, her eyes fixed on a particular spot on the ceiling."They're not bastards, Titi. They're really your father's kids." Kayla replied calmly. "No." Titi objected and Kayla turned to her."No, what?" She questioned in annoyance."No, they're not. I mean, they couldn't be. I'm so beautiful, just like my father but they look like hideous creatures. They're so ugly, I can't even stand them." Titi alleged and Kayla rolled her eyes, diverting her eyes back to the ceiling."We need to think of a way to take over that house. We need to win. I have something that I can use against Frema, but I'll need your help." Kayla said, turning to stare directly at her daughter's face. Titi's eyes immediately shone with mischief and she was sitting beside her mother on the bed in no time."What is it, mom? How can I help?" Ka

As his car sped past the line of jacaranda trees that indicated the entrance into the estate where Eron's office was located, Arsen carefully parked his Honda Civics when he arrived at the parking lot of the building and alighted the car, looking rather calm as opposed to how charged he felt inside.He could not believe Eron Castile had the guts to propose to his sister, still, after ruining their family, after lowering his father to a literal nobody in the city. It was the reason he was about to cause a scene. A scene his mother and sister would not be proud of, but one his father would be proud of.Arsen marched to the receptionist table when he went inside and spoke calmly to the woman, "Where's Eron's office?"She smiled like she was on remote control. It didn't reach her eyes. "Do you have an appointment?" She questioned. Arsen rapped his fingers on the table to keep his emotions in check. The woman, whose working badge introduced her as Betty, stared at him, unmoved, even when s

The blinding rays of the early morning sunlight poured into the room without restriction, causing Frema to squint as she stretched and yawned simultaneously. She had fallen asleep on Riley's bed, which was not a surprise. Riley was not on the bed when she woke up, so she got off it and began to look for her."Riley?" She called when she got close to the kitchen."I'm here." Riley shouted back from the kitchen and Frema walked into it, leaning against a counter once she was inside. "Did you dream of me? Sweet dreams, I mean." Riley questioned, putting a frozen container into the microwave. Frema picked up one of the chocolate tarts she had made and stuffed it in her mouth before replying,"No sweet dreams. Fortunately for me, no bad ones either." Riley glared at her for talking with her mouth full of food, but Frema only laughed at her expression. Barely a minute later, Riley was rushing to the sink. She threw up immediately she got there and just as she was about to turn back, she fe

"Kayla texted. She wants to see you." Eron lifted his head from his office desk and stared up at his fiancee, who held his phone out to him with an indifferent look. He took the device from her, silently peering at the message and in seconds, the door opened and slammed shut, indicating that Frema had left. Eron rose to his feet then, dialing Kayla's number—the woman had been pestering Eron all week, asking to talk, and by the way Frema had reacted, he was sure she had read the other desperate texts."Hey, babe." Kayla drawled as soon as the call went through."Straight to the point." Eron bit, right away. She hissed into the phone but spoke up anyways,"We have to see. This shit isn't stuff for casual phone calls." Kayla said matter-of-factly. Eron almost laughed at how she thought he would be seeing her after the stunt she pulled when he went to see his daughter. Drugging him into unconsciousness and stripping him out of his clothes for her selfish pleasures was unforgivable and it

Frema stayed with Riley for hours, until it was time to pick up her kids and Halsey. When she drove her car into the school premises and parked, she rested her head on the car's steering, drifting into deep thoughts. She would drive the children to her brother's house, she decided; she could never allow them go home to a man like Eron. She would not let him touch her children ever again, never let him in her life again."Ma'am?" Her head jerked up on impulse and she brought down her window to see the dark woman outside the car, half glaring at her. Frema smiled, nonetheless."I'm sorry, is there a problem?" Frema asked."Wrong parking space." The woman announced and Frema apologized, following her instructions to park right.Then, she went inside the building and picked the kids from their respective classes. After a long while of greeting kisses and playfulness, they were on their way home. Drake chattered on about how he missed his father and Frema ignored him, turning on the radio
