“my main problem now is to find this woman, please help me find her Gary,” i pleaded with him.
“who?
“Ellen Larioza,”
“What! What about her? He asked
“I know it will gonna be somehow difficult but just help me find her, am just curious about something,” I sigh
“About what?
“Gary.. you don’t need to know everything and do you think I will trust you to tell you everything about myself,” I smirk
“I thought we are allies since we are against Bianca,”
“against Bianca! you are her ex and you said you still love her..
“I only said I want her back,” he corrected.
“So what’s the difference?
“Let just quit talking about this, am now your friend and don’t be too surprised when I say I like you,”
“Like me! I scoffed.
“Quit saying that! You might be rich and cute but you are nothing compared to my Drake and beside you and I can never be a thing because you were once Bianca’s ex and I don’t roll with such people- people with low cla-ss,” I said disgustingly.
“You’re are rude and proud but in can be more than that atimes. Look Annie we are just perfect for each other and i will give you the whole world if you’re mine..
“Gosh! Am sure these were the same cheap words you use on Bianca, it’s so irritating and that’s the reason why I will never in my whole life allow Bianca to take Drake away from me,” I said and with that I hurriedly left.
“Only me can help you Annie” he yelled from behind but I just ignore.
Bianca’s POV
“Life is a great bundle of little things, a run in not shade with fettered hands that chases pridtoms over shifting sands indeed life has been unfair,” I told Drake. I felt so relief telling him everything now, maybe I can trust him or maybe in just needed someone to talk to, someone who will understand me.
“So what did you think Drake? Aren’t all this connected to Ma’am Harriet? I asked so confused.
“Well I think so but only your parents have the right answers, just try asking them,” he enthused.
” I don’t think mom is ready to tell me anything, and dad I don’t want to bother him for now. Whatever it is I just hope I can forgive them if I get to the find the whole truth myself,”
“Of course you have to, they are your parents even thou you’re not related to them. I will help you find the truth about this,” he smile.
I stared at the sky and it was filled with dark clouds, the weather seems so cool but I know it gonna rain anytime soon.
“Everything happen for a reason Bianca, if Annie’s mom haven’t found you and rushed you to dad hospital and dad hasn’t insisted to help you by bringing you to our house then we wouldn’t have meet. Sometimes unpleasant things happen and it ha-rd to think anything good can comes out from it, so just be thankful for having them as your parents even when you’re not related to them ,”
he said calmly as he clasped our hands together. There was a dead silence as i stare at our hand clasped together.
“.. who would have thought the grumpy Drake will be the one saying this to me,” I fake a frown while he laughed.
“Annie was rude and you were rude at the same so I’ve always thought you were just the perfect rude couple,” I smile.
“Well now that am with Miss beauty who’s always kind hearted I guess my life has changed for good when you became my friend and I don’t know why but I feel so attached to you, I want to know you more Bianca..” he said staring at me with those eyes, I was so speechless as I stare back at him. This time the wind was heavy and I quickly stood up.
“It gonna rain anytime soon, i think it’s better you leave,” I said told him..
Annie’s POV
????” okay I will be at your office tomorrow for the result,” mom said into the phone but she quickly hanged up when she saw me.
This woman can be so secretive atimes, what result is she talking about. Since she’s able to hide about my identity for good eighteen years then it simply means she can hide anything from me again.
“What result were you talking about mom? I asked sitting beside her.
“Oh! It office work,” she smile but I can’t be deceive at least not anymore, whatever she’s hiding I have to force her say that to me.
“Mom have you found that Ellen, the woman you told me about. She might still be alive with your baby, or don’t you want you to know your child? I asked looking so worried.
” I did that a long time ago but Ellen was nowhere to be found but am still searching for her,”
” are you sure about this? Why do I feel like you don’t trust me again to tell me everything, i sometimes feel I should just leave and…
“No Annie. You’re still my daughter and even if Ellen came back with my baby nothing will ever changed my love for you,”
“but mom what will happen if you finally get to know your child? what will happen to me?
“i love you Annie and won’t you be happy having a sibling, i know if my child is still alive she must have grown up now and you’ll at least have someone to talk to,” she smiled while i rolled my eyes.
“i have you mom and that’s enough of me, i don’t need anyone! that reminds me what about your husband?
“i don’t know,” she shrugged, she seems less interested to talk about him while i nodded, my main concern was to get her phone and check the call logs so i will who she was talking to earlier.
“so how was school, I’ve been so busy these days and we hardly have time for each other. Am so sorry Annie i will try to make it up to you,” she smile while i just nodded.
“mom, can i borrow your phone for a while? i asked
“my phone.. but for what? has your own got stolen?
“no mom,” i laughed seeing how worried she looked.
“okay, Annie,” she hand over the phone and just when am about standing up a call came in from a new number.
“who’s it? she asked while i hand over the phone to her. Gosh! i have to know the last person she talked to..

Drake’s POV
I sat down on my bed thinking about Bianca and how she told me about the whole thing. Who are her real parents then and why is her mom insisting they leave. I told her never to agree to such thing until she finds who truly she is. I don’t know why but i just feel the need to help her and i think maybe mom has some answers to this since her and Mrs. Harriet have been friends for a long time now.
I went down to the sitting room and meet mom busy with her phone she was already in her night robe.
“isn’t dad still home yet?
“no,” she sigh
“how are you feeling now Drake, how is your arm? she asked staring at the wound that was still plastered.
“am fine mom, the wound is fast healing,” i smile.
“so have you dismissed the case about the incident that happen during Annie’s birthday? i asked.
“we have no choice Drake, your dad insisted. I hope that Annie won’t ever come close to you,” she half yelled.
“mom.. Annie was sorry for what she did so please don’t try to hate her, i have forgiven her as well,”
“gosh! am just worried about you,”
“i know mom, by the way can i ask you something? i sat down beside her.
“so what is it?
“you’ve been friends with Annie’s mom for a while now, right?
“sure..
“okay mom, do you know anyone name Ellen Larioza and what connection did she have with Mrs. Harriet? perhaps you know something about those two? i asked staring curiously at her.
“Ellen, how did you know that name? she asked looking shocked.
“well.. a friend told me but i just want to know,” i asked.
“who is that friend?
“i don’t know, just quit asking questions mom! i just overheard someone when i went to visit Bianca today,” i said while she looked all worked up.
“Harriet have been searching for her, i need to inform her,” she said. Definitely something is wrong somewhere. Immediately dad walked in and i heaved a sigh of relief seeing him.
“welcome dad,” i gave him a small hug.
“welcome dear,” mom smiled then collect the brief case from him and they climb the stairs. Why is mom looking so tensed. I followed them and was about knocking on their door to ask mom more questions but i stopped when i heard them talking about it.
“Nigel, Ellen Larioza might be somewhere close to us, at least she have to pay for what she did- even if the baby is longer with her,” mom said so worried.
“what! how did you know that? dad asked sounding surprise.
“Drake just mention her name to me,”
“how did he know that? dad asked.
“i don’t know,”
“Harriet has already found Ellen but first thing first she want to know if her baby is still alive and i guess it’s Bianca, she was in my office yesterday and she wanted me to carried out a DNA test on her and Bianca. I just got a report form the lab that the result were ready and will be given to her tomorrow,”
I was shocked hearing that from them, what did they mean about Bianca being the real daughter of Mrs. Harriet, does that means Bianca and Annie are sisters??
I was so worried as i walked to my room still trying to digest what i heard, i wanted to call Bianca and tell her everything right away but i stopped myself, i have to be sure of what i heard and how true is that? I was still lost in my thoughts when a call came in, at first i thought it was Bianca but i got disappointed when i saw Annie.
????”hi,” i said into the phone.
???? “Drake… Drake…” she whimpered
????”Annie.. what’s happening? i asked, seems like she’s crying.
????”i just need someone to talk to, please Drake,” she pleaded.
???? “we are still friends Annie, you can tell me anything,”
???? “please this should be between us for now,” she pleaded.
???? “okay, what is it,”
????”i just recently found out that am adopted, am adopted Drake and that means i have no one, no one at all,” she cried.
???? “adopted? i asked again.
???? “you’ve heard me right, please Drake i want us to talk tomorrow…
Harriet’s POV????
I was surprise to see Williams already at Nigel’s office, i guess they were both waiting for me.
“i thought we’ve talked about this Williams, why can’t you just leave,” i said angrily taking a seat next to him.
“Harriet, you’ve changed so much! i just want to be by your side, i want to support you in this,”
“i have always been the bad guy Williams, yes you once supported me but what did you say to me at the end, you said i was the caused of everything because i was so desperate, well if i wasn’t desperate to have a baby then Bianca might not be here if she turns out to be our child,”
“it’s okay Harriet, Williams have every right to be here. i thought this the time you have to work as one so you’ll get Bianca if she truly happens to be your child,” Nigel said as he removed an envelope from his drawer.
“this is straight from the lab,” he said handing the envelope to Williams but i quickly grabbed it from him, i stood up and walked towards the window feeling so nervous to open it. What if it turns out negative..
and Bianca isn’t my child then Ellen might have done something evil to my baby, my mind were occupied with all kind of thoughts and i felt like screaming. I quickly wiped the drop of tears from my eyes and open the envelope slowly even thou my hands were shaking- i have to accept whatever is see here, at least i still have Annie to call my own if Bianca doesn’t turns out to be my baby.
My eyes were glued to the paper as i read it again- it turn out positive- am related to Bianca Larioza, my eyes were filled with tears, i felt this inner joy to know my baby is still alive, she was so close to me but yet so far away. Bianca is my missing baby. I smiled as i stare at Williams, he seems so curious, he quickly stood up and moved close to me.
“what does it says,? he asked while i gave him the paper. Everything came in a flash, i suffered to have this baby, i spent almost everything i have for that surrogacy yet i was still in pains, Loretta has to lose her life, my marriage crumbled, my baby was taken away from me, i have lose a lot of things all because of that IVF but Ellen was the main cause.
I recalled how i first saw Bianca in a pool of her blood when i rushed her to Nigel’s hospital, she has been throu-gha lot and it’s all because of Ellen, this time i will make sure i repay Ellen in hundred fold for what she did to me, i will definitely make her feel the pain of losing the only thing that matters most to you…????
