Chapter 101

Lydia

I never expected Zoe to tell Mason. A part of me suddenly wished there was another way to get a kidney, but there wasn’t

After the surgery, Zoe tried to speak to me, but I refused to see her. I had trusted her, and she went right back to betray me.

Again.

She sent a text, and as I walked out of Melanie’s room, I tapped on her message to reveal its content.

“Please let’s meet. I know you are angry, I told Mason, and I won’t try to convince you by telling you that he has the right to know. I had exceeded the line. It wasn’t my position to tell, but I want to set things straight.”

A loud ding and another message appeared, continuing the last one, “I thought long and hard, and the first thing I needed to do was to correct all lies, so I told him about the twins. I will be telling him the truth about who killed my stepdad.”

Another dinged, “I know what I will do may not correct the ruin. But I want you to understand that I’m truly willing to set things right, and the twins dèserve their dad’s presence in their lives. I’d be waiting for your reply. If possible, let’s meet

and talk.”

I twisted my lips to the side as I re–read her last message, “The twins deserve their dad’s presence in their lives.

I stood rooted to the ground, then closed my eyes and opened them. I understand that. But what she didn’t know was that their dad’s presence in their life may lead to danger, and that was what I was trying to avoid.

My line of thought was cut short when I felt Liam’s hand wrapped around my legs.

I looked down to find Liam staring at me with doe eyes.

“Hey, big boy.”

“Mom, I got you.” He giggled loudly. I turned off the screen of my phone and leaned down to carry him, placing his head on my shoulders.

“You almost gave me a heartache,” I said, stroking his back as I moved forward. I left him in Melanie’s room.

“I’m sorry about that, Mom.” I walked to the dining area and pulled out a chair. I placed him in the chair.

Melanie was discharged yesterday. Liam was the happiest. He spends a long time in Melanie’s room. Melanie still needed time to rest and recover, but that didn’t stop him from chatting with her, or more correctly, chatting to himself.

“Grandma, you made pancakes for breakfast?” Liam squealed. He liked pancakes, but Mom would always tell him he could only have them on special occasions.

“I guess today is special.” He said, adjusting his chair.

“Of course, son.” Guess who’d be eating chocolate today?” She placed two bars of chocolate next to Liam’s plate, making his smile widen

Chapter 101

“Yey!!!”

We had breakfast together, chatting and laughing. This was our little way of welcoming Melanie home. But it wasn’t complete yet since Melanie wasn’t with us.

I got a call at noon from Mia informing me about an emergency meeting. I had to break my plan of no official work until Melanie is in her best health.

The meeting lasted for over three hours. I stepped out of the meeting, massaging my shoulders with Mia walking right beside me.

“How’s Melanie? I haven’t been able to come over since last week.” Mia had been doing all the work I was supposed to.

“I’m sorry, it must be overwhelming,” I said.

Our shoes clicked loudly on the floor. People bristled in the hallway with ID hanging over their necks, and they bowed in respect as I walked past.

Marcus is away for a business trip and will be back next week. “That jerk just has to be away now. Can’t we have the party without him?” Mia whined.

She got help from Marcus, and a type of friendship quickly blossomed between the two.

“He can join via video call.” I laughed as she spoke, going on and on about the various ways we can have the party without him, but somehow include him.

She opened the door, and I stepped in. Since I was already here, I decided to quickly get a few paperwork done. Mom was home with Melanie and Liam, and I thought it would be best to help relieve some of the work for Mia.

Immediately, I stepped in, and my foot got rooted to the ground. Mia closed the door and paused too.

“What are you doing here?” I asked and started walking towards my table. I sat behind my table and looked at Mia, who raised her hand.

“I had no idea that he was here.”

I do not use an open–door policy, so how the hell did he find his way into my office?

“Lydia, I know you do not want me here.”

“Should I call the security?”

“We need to talk, Lydia, please.”

N

“Mia, what are you waiting for?” I asked, raising my voice more than I planned to. I had no idea he was here. How did he know to come here? I have been avoiding him all along.

I’m not ready to speak to him. “Please, let’s talk, I did not come with any intention.” He said.

Mia was already on the phone. “Mia. Don’t worry.” Maybe I should allow him to speak. It was the best time to clear whatever misconceptions he might be conceiving in his mind.

Chapter 101

I will never allow him to have access to my children. They are mine, and if he wanted the sperm he contributed, then kil have someone pay him back.

The door opened and closed. Mia stepped out, leaving both me and Mason alone in the office.

I needed to stay calm. First I’ll listen to him and then I’ll make sure he understands that there is no need to pretend to care about the twins now. It was too late.

“What do you want?” I asked, pointing, swivelling side to side with my chair.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were pregnant the day I visited you and that it was mine?” I scoffed as I watched him act pathetically. “I had no idea about the pregnancy until the fire happened. I’m not going to lie, I thought it wasn’t mine. If I had known before, then I’d have-” I stopped spinning my chair around.

“You’d have what?‘ I cut him short, not wanting to hear any stupid excuse from him. “What? You had no idea I was pregnant and that the child was yours?” I raised a brow and let out a hysterical laugh.

“That’s bullshit.” Mason stared at me as though he couldn’t recognise me. He didn’t know this side of me. This side is filled with pure hatred, anger, and all the other bitter emotions that I have bottled up within for years.

“I tried to tell you.” I stood, tears sliding down the side of my face as the memory that will haunt me forever came rushing

back into my mind.

“I’m pleased with you, Mason. I tried to reason with you, but you.” A sob cut through my throat, “But you refused to listen

to me.”

It was a cut that would bleed forever. The part of me that will never heal. Even if everyone doubted me, it shouldn’t have been Mason. “I loved you. I trusted you, but you?” I began laughing and took one more step towards him.

“You tossed me aside like I was nothing,”
