SYDNEY'S POVI watched Sandra's retreating figure with a look of amusement. The woman had a flair for the dramatic entries and exits, even when the situation didn't call for it. As soon as Sandra was out of sight, I glanced back at Mark who had turned around on the wheels of his wheelchair to fix the zipper of his hospital pants.His amnesia didn't take away his feelings of self awareness at least, I thought. Who knew what had happened a few seconds before I arrived at the door. I did hear her complaining about him not being sexually active or something.Mark turned back to face me, his brows arching up as though he was silently daring me to comment on his situation. And I felt heat creeping up my neck all because I was fighting back a laugh. Even with his memory gone, Mark still wouldn't stop acting tough. Talk about the kind of egoistic consistency that ran in one's veins.I folded my arms over my chest and walked into the room as nonchalantly as I could, and with a pointed look, I

Again, I woke up with a the worst of splitting headaches there could be... exaggerated that a but too much, but yes, it hurt. I slightly winced as I turned to my side. I could make out a pole, a blue curtain, white walls and I could already tell that I was in a hospital. Memories of what happened and obviously landed me in a hospital assailed me.Who brought me here? I wondered but I continued putting the right name on the things I could see; a beeping computer, another blue curtain, more white walls, walk a-"Oh my God, Sydney!"I suddenly felt arms on my arm. I squeezed my eyes shut, my head ached as I turned to face the direction that the voice had come from.It was Grace. I managed a smile but my smile fell the moment I noticed her swollen, red rimmed eyes and watery smile and the dark circles under her eyes. Grace never had dark circles or swollen eyes. No matter how long or late she worked, she always had a way to make them look non-existent."What happened? Are you okay?" I ask

Silence descended the room, wrapping everywhere like a cloak of thick blanket. People exchanged looks before they settled their gaze on Lucas.I looked at Lucas' unfathomable expression and I wondered why he was doing all of these? What was the need for this power he was seeking to gain? Why did he have to take revenge after he had forgiven them? Had he been waiting all these while for Doris to be out of the picture before he made his move?I sighed. I couldn't quite fmdrag my gaze from this man addressing everyone, his eyes willing everyone to raise their hands and vote to support him. He seemed too unfamiliar, too cruel. Where was my softhearted Lucas? The one who shrugged and said, "it's all in the past now."A hand slowly raised in the air and all heads turned to the man that raised his hand. Almost a second later, another person raised their hand, voting their support and in mere minutes, several hands of the shareholders that supported Lucas were up in the air.As they continued

Sydney 's POVI frowned when I checked the time. I hadn't thought that Lucas would be involved in the family matters discussion until the door was jammed close with Lucas' back at me.I decided to wait at the door of the conference room. I paced up and down the hallway, loitered at the door but he still was not outside yet.Suddenly, the door was forcefully pushed open and Lucas stomped out. He seemed angry as he was walking with so much force."Lucas," I called but he didn't stop.I ran after him. When I was at an arm's length behind him, I reached out and grabbed his shoulder. "Come on, stop walking."HeHe stopped walking and I quickly walked around him to stand before him. He had an indifferent gaze as he looked down at him and my heart skipped a bit in fear. Fear of what?"I'm sorry, I didn't choose to support you.""I told you to remain silent and we agreed that you would," his voice was tinged with a mix of betrayal and confusion.Well, I did not agree to remain silent, he instr

A FEW MONTHS LATERSydney 's POV"Welcome to this world, Aiden. Mommy loves you so much," I whispered into his tiny ears and he squinted at me before closing his eyes again. And I wondered if he heard me, I wondered if he could feel and tell that he was in his mother's arms.My eyes watered, filled with tears of joy as I stroked the cheeks of my son. Just the thought that he was mine made my heart swell with so much love and happiness. Gosh. He looked so innocent. Too pure for this world.Without any complications, I had successfully given birth to a bouncy baby boy in the same hospital where I had found out that I was pregnant.I smiled. The past few months had been a lot; it was a month that was filled with a rollercoaster of emotions, a month where I had received support and love, even from people I hadn't expected it from. Infact, these past few months have been one of my favorites.Grace sighed again, her gaze glued to Aiden in my hands as if he had hypnotized her. "He's going to
