Bianca’s POV▪▪
I was so confused not knowing what to do. I really want to leave because i miss mom so much and i want to see dad too, i need to see him by all means, i need to be their for him.
“are you okay? nanny kora asked walking towards me with two glas-sof drinks.
“am fine,” i quickly said
“but you look so tensed, are you hungry?
“no.. just worried about my parents, i need to try calling them again,” i said while she nodded then gently kept the drinks on the table.
“you can use my phone to call them, then we can have some drink,” she said while i nodded with a smile. I picked her phone and climb the stairs and headed to my room.
Why is mom acting that way, why is she bent on asking me to leave and why was she asking if i have told them anything about her or dad. I was still lost in thought when nanny kora’s phone rang, it was a new number and i knew it was mom.
????”mom,” i quickly said into the phone.
???? “are you coming or not?,” she asked.
????”mom.. i really want to go but i can’t. Am sorry mom but i respect Dr. Nigel and his family, i have to tell them before i leave, i have to wait for his return he might come before the week runs out,” i enthused.
???? “do you even miss us Bianca? what has that family done to your brain or have you meet Harriet González,” she yelled into the phone and it obvious she was angry.
Harriet Gonzalez -that Annie’s mother, how did she even know about them.
???? “how did you know her? i asked
???? “so you’ve seen her already? just tell me everything Bianca have you meet that woman? she asked again.
???? “yes mom, she was the one that saved me,”
????”okay Bianca i guess we have a lot to talk about when you get home just don’t tell them anything about us because they might come for us and hurt us again, don’t mention anything about your family to them i know what am saying,”
???? “okay mom,” i said, my mind was filled with so many questions but i guess this not the right time to ask.
???? “and please take care, be careful round those people,” she said before hanging up.
Mom has a lot of explanation to do, what did she meant by all this. And how did she even know Harriet without me mentioning her name, is their any connections? what actually happen, i felt so curious and i wanted to know about everything. What is she hiding from me…
Ellen’s POV????
I felt so much anger inside of me when Bianca told me about her stay with the Alcatraz, i know them too well and i also know Harriet will always be around because they’re close friends. I felt so much anger towards Harriet when Bianca told me she was the one that saved her. How did it all happen, what even happen to Bianca all this while? it been almost a month now and i miss my daughter so much,
i want my daughter back and i won’t allow any one take her from me. I quickly got dressed and went to Jones at the hospital, he’s condition is still getting critical and i don’t have enough money with me, why won’t Bianca just come home to help me out with this, don’t she really care about us or at least about her sick dad.
“Jones,” i called in tears as i walked to his room, i sat down next to him while he stare at me, he’s become weaker everyday.
“it’s still the same thing Jones, i can’t raise the money for your surgery, am sorry,” i whimpered while he smile weakly.
“you’re just stressing yourself Ellen, theirs no point in saving a dying man already, am gonna die soon just promise to find Bianca, promise me Bianca will come back to us again and i hope she will forgive me,” he said.
“Bianca has already forgiven you and beside she called me few hours ago,” i told him and he was surprise to hear that. I also told him about our conversation.
“you mean she’s with the Alcatraz? he asked.
“i don’t know how she get there or did they already knew about her? but i once told Harriet i had a miscarriage,”
“it’s fate that bring them together even without knowing each other Ellen. Am happy Bianca is safe and am glad she saw her mother, she saw Harriet right? he asked.
“Harriet isn’t her mother Jones! am her mother. Ever since i lost Loretta because of them Bianca cease to be her daughter and i will do everything is make sure Bianca isn’t close to Harriet ever again. After your surgery, we will leave the city and start a new life just me, you and Bianca,”
“Ellen just let go of the anger in your heart. Bianca can never be Loretta, she can never be our late daughter and in order to make peace with those family again you have to show yourself and talk to them,” he said but i felt so angry hearing that from him.
“i guess you don’t know how it feels, you don’t know the pain and anger that is buried inside of me ever since i lost Loretta, we couldn’t get justice for our daughter and now that i have Bianca you just want me to let go of her for no good reason? you never loved Bianca, you’ve never for once even pretend to love her, i was the one who supported and raise her all on my own, i love her like my own, i love her just the way i once loved Loretta and you expect me to let go of everything not after what i’ve been throu-gh,” i said in tears as i stood up to leave.
“but that’s why i want to make it up to her, i wish am strong enough to make it up to her. Can’t you see am paying for everything i did to all of you, i regret every single thing i did, i just want the best for her..
“what did you know about the best for Bianca.. what did you even know about her? i yelled at him.
“the best thing for her is know who her real parents are..”
“i will never allow such thing to happen and if it happens then Harriet have to kill me first before taking Bianca away from me,” i said and with that i quickly walked out in tears, i felt my whole world crumbling. I can’t be at the losing side – i lose Loretta and now my husband is at the verge of dying if i don’t have enough money for his surgery and Bianca might be with her family soon, if care is not taken then i will be alone, without anyone to call my own, i can’t allow such thing to happen- never!
The next day..✨

Harriet’s POV▪▪
“so mom have you heard from dad? don’t he even care about us, about me what type of father is he? Annie asked when we were both having dinner.
“why are you asking?
“i just keep wondering why i don’t have dad, my eighteen birthday is coming soon mom and i hope dad will at least show up to see how beautiful and grown up i am,” she said and i just smile but de-ep inside of me i felt so worried and sad. Williams left me ever since Ellen ran away with our child, he also felt so guilty for what happen to Loretta and he all blamed it on me. He moved back to US and ever since then i have never heard from him for all those years, he didn’t even know i adopt a child, he didn’t know about Annie existence but here is she wishing he could at least show his face to her, how can i tell Annie she’s just adopted, i can’t do that.
“mom! you look so lost,” she asked munching on her food.
“am fine,”
“so.. i was asking about dad?
“yeah.. it been long i heard from him Annie, your dad is a busy man and we are no longer together. It been long i heard from him but i know someday he will come back for us,” i said hoping it will convinced her.
“you deserves someone better mom and i sometimes wonder why you’re single till today,”
“oh.. am happy being with my daughter and i don’t need to re-marry again. Marriage isn’t my thing again,” i said sadly. I thought my marriage with Williams will worked out for good but it didn’t ever since Ellen came into our lives, i regret ever involving her in my family problems. Since Williams left i choose to adopt, maybe adoption is the best thing to do at that time. My late mom suggested i should just adopt a child so i can moved on because getting married again wasn’t on my mind, i don’t want to fall in love again neither do i want to get hurt all in the name of marriage.
“it’s okay Annie, with or without your dad i love you so much,” i smile.
“yeah, i know you do and i will say it over and over again you’re the best mom in the world,” she giggle.
“thanks sweetie,” i laughed.
“i have something to tell you,” i said
“okay..
“Bianca is gonna attend your school,”
“what! Annie asked in total surprise as she dropped her fork.
“yeah, she have my full support in that, i will sponsor her” i said
“mom… isn’t that too much,” Annie asked with a frown.
“that isn’t too much for me, that’s the only way i can help the poor girl,”
“but mom you’ve saved her life already isn’t that enough or is she an ingrate!
“Annie! i guess you don’t like her but if i were you i would just let go of this stupid hatred. I didn’t raise you this way, i raise you to be kind to everyone irrespective of who they are. I didn’t raise you to be this arrogant and proud,” i half yelled.
“am not any of these you called me mom.. am sorry,” she muttered.
“whatever Annie don’t just be the bad girl all the times, Bianca is a nice girl and i hope you will get to like you,”
“so what course? she asked.
“same as yours- business management so that means you’ll see her in school more often and i hope you’ll be friends,” i smiled.
“sure mom,” she smile.
Bianca’s POV✨
I felt so restless and had a sleepless night throu-ghout last night, i no longer feel comfortable here, my mind is always at home especially now that father isn’t feeling too well, i need to be there for him, i wish i could ask for help, i wish i could tell Dr. Nigel about dad’s condition but mom might be angry if i do so.
I was surprise when Mrs. Harriet came to visit me, well it a good thing she wasn’t here with her daughter.
“so how have you been? and hope your wound is fast healing? she asked seating next to me.
“sure! am perfectly fine now,” i smile.
“your full name is Bianca Larioza.. right? she asked while i was surprise to hear that from her- how did she knows about it.
“yes ma’am,” i nodded.
“you don’t have to worry Nigel told me everything about you and i have a surprise for you,” she smile then removed an envelope from her back and hand it to me.
“read what’s inside,” she smile. I curiously remove the papers from the file.
“what! i was so shocked seeing that, but it’s real because it’s have my name on it.
“admission to study business management..
“sure.. this the least i can do for you and i will sponsor everything you needed,” she said.
“how did you do it Ma’am, i didn’t sit for any exams and i don’t have any results,”
“everything is covered by me, you don’t have to worry,” she said while i hug-ged her.
“thank you so much Ma’am, this a dream come true,” i smile trying to hold back my tears, everything is working out for my good.
“saving my life was more than enough, you don’t have to do this,” i said when we disengaged from the hug.
“i have to Bianca, i don’t know what’s pushing me to do this but i need to help you, i need to help you achieve your dreams you don’t have to pas-sthrou-ghthis alone you’ll always have my support,” she said holding my hands.
“thank you so much,” i chuckle wiping my tears, she’s a blessing to my life indeed.
“but Bianca can i ask you something? she said while i nodded.
“your name is Bianca Larioza and it sound so familiar to me.. this Larioza. I know many people bare this name but am just curious,” she said. My heart skip a beat hearing that, am so curious too, i wish i could tell her everything but mom has warned me already and i need to hear mom’s explanation first before telling anyone about my family.
“uhmm… actually my parents are Helena and Craig Larioza and that’s why i bare the name, is anything the problem? i asked feeling so bad for lying to her.
“no.. am sorry for asking too much questions and just curious,” she smile sadly.
“okay,”
.
✨We had dinner together me, Mrs. Harriet, Drake, his mom and also nanny Kora. They were all happy for me when i told them Mrs. Harriet got admission for me, Drake was a bit surprise about that.
“so Drake you better stop being so grumpy because you might get to see Bianca at school,” his mom said while he just shrugged.
“and Annie what did she say about it? he asked Mrs. Harriet.
“i have talked to her. Annie is okay with that and she’s willing to be friends with you,” she smile and i felt so relief hearing that maybe Annie and i can be friends right.. that isn’t gonna be bad..
After dinner Mrs. Harriet left and everyone retired to their room. I sat on my bed still staring at the admission letter with my eyes clouded with tears i know mom would definitely not allow me to go there, she will be totally against this, i guess something must have happen between those three families and i need to find out. Suddenly i heard a knock on the door and i quickly wipe my tears and went to open the door- i was surprise by who i saw.
Drake!
what is he doing here… i mean we hardly talk!
“can i at least come inside, we need to talk,” he said calmly while i shift from the door allowing him to walk inside..
“have you been crying? he asked staring keenly at me….
