When Claire caught me looking at her, she gave me a soft reassuring smile as if telling me it's alright. She completely understood the shock I felt after hearing everything. I took a deep, steadying breath. When I finally had enough courage, the words I'd been dying to ask smoothly flowed out my lips. "So Lucas Nicholas was the one who told Lady Ravenwood about all this?" "Fortunately, he doesn't need to tell me to understand it all." Claire replied calmly as if she wasn't about to tell me another…

We are almost complete now except Ace is not around. How I wish he's here now so he would see Vien and Faith together. The sight would deeply touch his heart the way it did to me. I swallowed hard and forced a smile on my lips. A tear blurred my vision and I blinked back the impending tears. If only Ace was here, he would see this emotional scene. He would surely be crying too. Vien lifted her dainty fingers and gently touched her little sister's tiny hands. Amazement lit her eyes while her lips…

The gigantic iron gates of the luxurious estate opened. The creak of metals and the sound of voices woke me up from my light sleep and my eyes fluttered open. The van smoothly entered the wide pathway?until it skidded into a stop in front of the house. "Vien?" I turned towards my daughter in time to see her exquisite blue eyes open. "We are here… You will soon see your baby sister, Faith." I said softly and witnessed how her sleepy eyes lit up by the mention of her younger sister. She brushed…

After I finished bathing Vien, I changed her into a floral dress with puff sleeves which she liked. Her eyes gleamed as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. She's an adorable child. I tied her hair into a ponytail and tied a ribbon on top. She liked it too. Her lips curled into a sweet smile when her gaze shifted to the pink ribbon that secured her curls. "T-thank… y-you… Mm..mama."?She whispered shyly after turning towards me. Even if she stutters every time she says a word, it was…

"Vince, Ace's step-brother, tried to kidnap me. I was so lucky that I managed to jump out of the car before he could do anything to me." I told Madam Stella. Shivers run down my spine as the memory plays on my thoughts. I still couldn't believe I managed to escape Vince's clutches unscathed. I wonder what could have happened to me if Lady Ravenwood didn't arrive on time and Vince took me away inside the car. I wonder if Vince planned to kill me or merely wanted me to be the hostage so he could get…

Hearing Claire's words made my chest want to burst with emotions. Vien had been waiting for me! Once Ace returns we would be one big happy family again! The thought brought a tear in my eyes and a smile on my lips. I lifted my fingers and caressed Vien's rosy cheeks. She would be a wonderful sister to Faith. My eyes?turned to Claire who stood a few steps away from the bed. She was looking intently at Vien with longing in her eyes. She was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she…

If this is a dream, I don't want to wake up anymore. I waited too long for this reunion to happen. And now I couldn't believe all I ever prayed for and all I ever wanted was actually taking place. I sat on the edge of the bed, my beautiful child leaning on my chest, my arms protectively wrapped around her so that no one could take her away from me again. Claire watched us with a glint of tears in her eyes and a smile stretched on her lips. Tears clouded my vision. I swallowed hard to suppress…

"I love your son and I will do everything for him." Claire nodded her head in understanding. She then gave me an admiring smile. "I'm glad that Ace chose you as his other half." The moment I heard her words, I couldn't help but smile. Ace is the love of my life. I too was glad I chose him. I honestly couldn't think of any other man except him. We've been together for more than five years now and to be honest, it was the happiest and the most challenging time of my life. True my life with…

"I am Ace's mother." Lady Ravenwood repeated after seeing the shocked look on my face. I blinked several times, slowly digesting her words. "But… But… you're too young to be his mother." "I will take that as a compliment, Phoenix." She smiled humbly, her eyes twinkling. "Yes, that's a compliment. You appeared around your 30's to me." "Thank you dear,?by the way I'm 39." She mumbled and elegantly sat on the chair beside the bed. "Ace never told me about you…. I mean he did not…

The arms holding my neck tightened. I struggled hard, punched his face multiple times but he didn't even budge. No matter how hard I fought, I'm still no match to his strength. He pressed a handkerchief into my nose. I know what it could do to me so I fought even harder—with all the strength I have. This is a matter of life and death situation. I won't allow him to do what he wants. My long fingernails clawed his cheeks. He cried in pain and cursed in rage. The handkerchief fell out of his…
