CHAPTER EIGHTEEN "I would tell you over dinner, I promise", Maria said and tried to free herself from Henry's grip."You won't because our son would be there", Henry replied. "I will, I promise you that I will", Maria insisted, and Henry allowed her to go continue with her preparation. After cooking and serving the food, the three gathered around the table and Maria dished some food into everyone's plate. As they ate, she began to narrate everything that happened and how it happened. "So, I was consistently crying and praying to God, and yes he answered me. My parents had bribed my lawyer, and made her turn her back against me_""Your parents bribed her? How did you know?" Henry asked."Of course, I do. How would I not know? I called her for help and she asked that I forget about you and move on with my life. Thank God who still used her to bring us back together. She raised her hand when the pastor asked if there is anyone who doesn't want the bride and groom together, and guess w
CHAPTER NINETEENThe court case was ruled in favour of Maria and Henry this time because they presented a legal marriage certificate and a matched DNA test result with Dylan and Maria. Henry was overjoyed seeing their victory this time, and the family celebrated together. This time around Dylan was convinced that his mom would bring be taken from him any longer since it had been proven beyond reasonable doubt that she was his mom.Dylan told his friends and classmates that he now had a mom, and his mom was there to stay forever, she would never have to leave them again no matter what. Henry and Maria returned home after dropping their son off at school. They both sat on the couch staring at each other without saying a word to each other. Maria couldn't believe all of it was happening, and whenever she would recall all that Henry did in court, how he presented the pieces of evidence one after the other, how he worked together with her lawyer to make sure they ruled the case. It just
CHAPTER TWENTY "Mom, your phone wouldn't stop ringing," Dylan called out his mom.She had just picked him up from the school and was preparing lunch for him. He was still th dining waiting for her, and her phone was lying on the table. She rushed out of the kitchen and picked up her phone. "Hello," she said."Hello ma'am, this is Doctor Sampson. I am calling to inform you that your husband had been involved in another accident", she heard the doctors voice from the other end, and her heart jumped out of her stomach. "What!" She screamed. She pressed the red button and picked up the car key, which lay on the table beside her phone. She tried to hurry out of the house when her eyes caught her son, and she came to a full stop. "Oh, you are here already," she said and sighed.She regretted that they had to send their helper back home. Although back then, they thought it was necessary to let her go without replacing her since she only wanted to visit her mom for a few months and would
CHAPTER TWENTY _ ONE Maria hired security to go with Henry everywhere he went after he was discharged from the hospital because she didn't want to take chances with him this time. It was a week already since the incident, and Maria had also hired private investigators to investigate the issue and find out who was behind all the accidents. Henry wasn't too cool with the idea of moving around with bodyguards, but then, he didn't want to upset Maria. Thinking about it, this was the first time she would decide anything in his house. The old Mary wasn't like this. Back then, she was bossy and had much going on with her that they almost always had issues. Henry thought it was nice that she lost her memory and hoped she remained that way because he had fallen more deeply in love with her than ever. Henry also thought that she became more caring and loving. He hoped he wasn't being selfish by hoping she didn't get regain her memory and returned to her old troublesome self because their live
CHAPTER TWENTY _ TWO"What do I owe this visit?" She asked, trying so hard to sound as mean as possible. She didn't want to show any signs of fear or weakness."Your dad has asked that we bring you to him," one of them announced. "Bring me to him? What does that mean?" Maria asked them."I am here on command ma'am, I didn't come on my own will, ma'am," the officer addressed. "Look here, man! I do not care whether or not you came on your own will or not. My wife is going nowhere with you sir", Henry argued."You are not Maria. Allow her to speak for herself," another officer interrupted. Maria stood at a spot watching them, as they continued to debate whether or not she was going with them. Maria didn't have the intention of going anywhere, and she had been so stressed lately that her head began to spin, and everything that was being said then and there began to ring in her head. She tried to cover her ears with both hands, yet she couldn't stop hearing the voices. They were initia
CHAPTER TWENTY _ THREEMaria shot the door hurriedly and opened it again, she cleared her eyes and the girl was still standing in front of her. She looked down at herself and checked around for a mirror that shows people's reflections with them in different clothes, but it was only her and Maria who were there. Henry noticed that Maria was taking too long at the door, he hadn't noticed her walk back into the house yet. He decided to go out and see for himself what was going on. Immediately Henry stepped into the sitting room, Maria saw him and shot the door immediately. "What is going on?" Henry asked her."No_ nothing, I am f_ fine", she stuttered. Henry stared at the door, then took his gaze back to Maria. Her heart was beating fast, and her legs and hands were shaking. Henry noticed she wasn't fine and tried to walk over to the door but Maria stopped him."I am fine, I promise. There is nothing for you to see there. It was someone who mistook her for his apartment, and he is gon
CHAPTER TWENTY _ FOURClifford and Faith paced around their mansion, with Mary seated quietly on the couch. Faith retired to the couch and sat beside Mary. She placed her left hand on her jaw and began touching her imaginary beards. "I told you in the first place, Faith, that this whole idea should be scrapped. I told you it wouldn't work, I told you we would end up looking like mad people. We would end up embarrassing ourselves there, "Mr Clifford blamed his wife."What will you have me do? Leave my daughter with a total stranger?" Mrs Faith queried."She is not_" he was saying but paused and placed his hands on both heads. "Our daughter is in safe hands. I have told you already that those two are in love. God has already favoured us and given us another Maria, we should have eloped with her a long time ago. Or is it until Henry takes her away as well?" Clifford asked. "I only care about Maria. She is my only daughter and is the only person I would ever want to keep as mine. I don
CHAPTER TWENTY _ FIVE "We have a son together, remember? Plus, I haven't had sex for over five years now, " Maria reminded him."Why does it feel like I'm hurting you?" He asked her."Go ahead, please don't stop," she pleaded.Henry kissed her forehead before going down again. He fucked her in a missionary style for a while, then he turned her around and began to slide in and out of her in a doggy style. The both of them tried out different styles until Maria's legs began to wobble. He finally let go of her and allowed her to sleep on his chest, the both of them still entirely naked. Henry kissed her forehead and cuddled her tightly unto himself. He rubbed her back gently, and she ran her hand around his beard until she finally slept off. It was already a hectic day, and Henry knew schools would close soon and he needed to go pick up his son from school, so he didn't want to sleep just like Maria did. He stayed with her for a while, and when he was sure that she was already deep i
