by- Tiana????
“Williams! i called still shocked to see him.
“what are you doing here? i asked angrily while he stood up from the seat walking closer to me.
“Harriet i know this the only place i can find you,” he smiled.
“for good eighteen years? What the heck are you doing here? are you here for the company, to have your shares? i yelled.
“am not here to cause any trouble Harriet, i entrust this company to you because i knew you were very intelligent to handle it,”
“just cut it off and leave.. just leave Williams seeing you remind me of everything i have been throu-ghand i don’t want to revisit the past,” i said then turn back and folded my arms, my eyes were filled with tears but i can’t let this jerk see the weaker side of me, not anymore, am no longer the soft Harriet he used to know.
“Harriet can we just talk about everything now,” he said and that triggered more anger in me. I quickly moved close to him and landed a heavy slap on his face.
“talk about what? for the past eighteen years you left what else did you want us to talk about,” i yelled not knowing when tears were already streaming down my cheeks. I felt so used and stupid.
“i thought you were an exception but you also left, you choose to leave me because you had feelings for Ellen and who even knows you were with her for this this years,” i yelled.
“am sorry about everything Harriet but am back for good… please just hear me out,”
“i don’t want to… i hate you now Williams i hate you for leaving me during my darkest times, i hate you for leaving me during the time i needed you the most, i hate you for giving up on our marriage and our love, i hate you, i hate you so much,” i cried as i hit him countless time on his chest.
“just hit me, do whatever you want to Harriet but this time am back to you again.. please,” he cooed but i slapped him the more.
“am better off without you, i don’t need you anymore. Am doing just fine without you,” i quickly picked up my bag and was about leaving but he held me back.
“am sorry about everything, i still love you Harriet and that’s why am back,”
“i have moved on,” i yelled at him as jerked his hands.
“Am sorry for everything Harriet, I didn’t realize how foolish I was when I left, I just want us to be just the way we are before,” he said remorseful but I careless about that as I hurried out of the office…

Annie’s POV????
” I was at fault Drake and am sorry for everything,” I whispered wiping my tears.
“We both need space Annie. I need some rest,” he said and with that he stood up and climb the stairs- heading to his room.
I buried my head in my palm not knowing what to do. I can’t lost Drake I have to get him back by all means. I stood up and left for school
.
Bianca’s POV????
Dad was discharged back home but the doctor has warned him strictly to avoid getting stress or depressed about anything. we’ve canceled our journey for today. Maybe once dad has recovered well we will soon leave but for now he need to rest even for a few days.
Dad was asleep in his room while mom left to her shop down the street. I was suppose to meet up with Mrs. Harriet today- this time am gonna ask her everything i know, am gonna tell her everything too, it’s a good thing she told me to meet her at home and i think that’s what am gonna do.
I checked the time and notice it 4pm already, she told me to meet her at home i just hope i and Annie wouldn’t bump into each other. This time i will have to hurry up and come home soon before she arrives. I was about heading to the door when Gary walked in.
“you again! i sigh.
“you are leaving without telling me? he asked and i was surprise to know how he knew i was suppose to travelled today.
“Yen told me about that,” he said.
“as you can see Gary, am on my way out so i have to go,” i said moving towards the door but he pulled me back by my wrist.
“i understand if you’re still angry with me Gary but can’t you just consider me,” he scoffed.
“i don’t know who to believe anymore and beside it all over between us now,”
“is that what you think?
“that’s not only what i think but that’s what i want,”
“am just so disappointed Bianca. How dare you give up on our love, was it that easy to forget everything we shared, the love, hugs, ki-sses and even se-x,” he smirked while i slapped him and turn to peep around to make sure no one was listening to us.
“everything that happen between us means nothing to me now, it was all in the past! so be a man and try to forget about everything,” i huffed while he laughed sarcastically.
“i know you’re doing all this because of Drake. Annie will never allow you have him,” he smirked. Oh, he knows Annie already??
“am tired of pleasing people and doing what they want. You can think whatever you want to Gary that’s non of my concern but all i know is that being in a relationship with you can’t work again, not now nor ever,” i said angrily and was walking out when my phone rang- it was mom calling.
“Bianca.. how is your dad doing? i heard her voice.
“he’s still asleep in his room,”
“okay am on my way, just wait for me,”
“okay mom,”
Gosh! how am i suppose to leave this house, i need to see Mrs. Harriet by all means, maybe i should just call her on phone to discuss about this.
“it’s okay Bianca, i have to go now,” Gary said while i pay less attention to that, i just walked to check up on dad in his room, he was still asleep. I went to my room and tried calling Mrs. Harriet but she wasn’t picking up my calls..

The next day…✨
.
Harriet’s POV
I was at home throu-ghout the whole day, i wasn’t myself ever since i saw Williams i guess i need a new environment to clear my head. Yesterday Bianca has been calling but i wasn’t myself to replied to any of her calls. I just wanted to be alone.
“what happen mom, you’ve been quiet ever since you came from work yesterday, what’s wrong with you? Annie kept asking the same question over and over again.
“and don’t tell me it’s just stress, looks like something is eating you up,” she said.
“okay Annie i guess am just affected by everything in the past when i saw your dad yesterday,” i said and she looked shocked hearing that from me.
“my dad? he’s still alive and you saw him yesterday? she asked again.
“am so confused Annie please don’t ask me any question i just want to clear my head for now,” i said sadly while she just nodded..
“Ma’am! one of the security guard walked in.
“you have a visitor Ma’am,” the security guard said.
“let the person in,” i replied.
“are you expecting any visitors? Annie asked.
“i don’t know, maybe it Nigel, maybe he want to talk to me about the issue of what you did,” she said and my heart skip a bit hearing that.
“Harriet,” a familiar voice called and i quickly stood up and turn to the direction at the door- Williams. Gosh! how did he even knows where i stays.
“what are you doing here? i asked angrily but his gaze wasn’t on me but someone behind me- i knew he was staring at Annie.
“Mr. Williams,” Annie called.
“Annie.. please just go to your room i will talk to him,” i said while she stared at him then back at me before walking away.
“what the heck did you think you’re doing Williams,” i asked when i was sure Annie has left already.
“do you still think i will accept you after all this years…
Annie’s POV????
He was the same man mom showed me in the picture. He’s Williams Gonzalez her husband. He’s my dad the one who abandon us all these years and why is he just coming now, i bet he can’t even recognize me- his only daughter. What type of a father is he, somehow i was angry at him for making mom sad and single all those years but some part of me was happy because my family might be complete again,
i need to know why he’s here. i headed back to the sitting room but stopped when i heard them arguing about something, mom seems to be so angry…
“and where have you been this past eighteen years… where you with your mistress? where you with Ellen? mom asked i wanted to rushed out and ask what’s happening and who is Ellen but i stopped,
i just stood there and eavesdropped on their conversation.
“is that our child? has Ellen later given you back our daughter? why didn’t you tell me Harriet? he asked
“when everyone of you left, Annie was the only one that later gave me reason to live. Ellen never picked my calls, she has vow never to give my child back to me and since then i have never seen nor heard from her,
i searched everywhere i could but she was nowhere to be found it’s like she just disappeared never to be seen again,” mom said tearfully and i was so confused. Who is Ellen??? was the question ringing in my head.
“so who is she? who is the girl? he asked
“she’s adopted, she’s my adopted daughter Annie. When you left i had to adopt her and we are doing just fine without you so just leave, just go back from where you came from.
I have buried all the memories we shared together, everything that happen in the past- your wedding pictures, the contract Ellen sign with us, the pregnancy test result and even Annie’s adoption papers were all kept in the sto-re and i was planning to burn them all because that’s my past,” mom cried.
I stood right at that spot trying to digest what she just say, i felt my eyes filled with tears and all i wanted was to scream. Okay …i think mom is just lying to this man, she just want to scare him away, i know she’s not telling him the truth i can’t be adopted, i can never be adopted, am a Gonzalez* am the real daughter of mommy and the heir to everything she had, am the only daughter she ever had, maybe am just imagining things.
I quickly hurried upstairs and get the spare key to the sto-re room. I open it and saw an old box, it was the box mom told me it has the saddest memories of her life but i never care to know anything about. I quickly open the box and go throu-ghthe papers, pictures,
it was so dirty and dusty making to cough over and over again. I finally saw some papers that were signed, it was a legal contract with the heading ” satisfy legal requirements for the surrogacy”
“surrogate?? what surrogacy? this time i was so confused, i checked the other papers and i came across a pregnancy test result which has *Ellen Larioza* as the baby’s mother name.
If am not the real daughter of mom then who is her real child or was Ellen the surrogate mother of their child, i go throu-ghsome papers then i saw an old file which has a name *Clara Santos* i open it and saw my pa-ssport on it, my baby pa-ssport actually. It was my adoption papers and my real name was Clara Santos. My hands were shaking already and i felt my head spinning but why would mom hide this from me- for good eighteen years she couldn’t tell me the whole truth about my real identity… Why me!!!????????????
