Remembering that horror night brought a shiver down to my spine and a pool of tears rolled down through my cheeks. It's still haunting me through my dreams.

I don't want to remember that night, not in my life again. I had lots of restless night and I'm getting tired of this.


His grip on my hand loosened again and even before he realizes, I retreated my hand from his grip and wiped my tears.

These tears are as fresh and hard as I had on Jan 2, Sweety's birthday. I didn't think of it before that it has still an effect on me but yes, it is a sensitive topic.

He blankly looked at me before his lips forming into a sinister smile. "Fate also decided that you have no right to be happy. So It separated you from your loved ones. Isn't it?" He is so happy to see me broken.


This time I smirked though my heart shattered into pieces. I never show my weakness in front of him.

"Who said I am not happy?" I raised one of my brows and challenged him through my eyes.


"What did you think Mr. Miller? I would break down and end my life for a worthless bitch like you?" I mocked. "Hugh!! You are too wrong, then. I have moved on and found my own happiness. No fakes, no betrayal, only a love."

"I have my own daughter to be happy with, but for you? What do you have? Please don't tell me you have enough money to buy the whole universe." I asked sarcastically raising both my hands in the air.

"Because money won't buy happiness and you don't deserve to be happy in your entire life," I said every word in slow motion.

"If you get your answer, you can leave. And one more thing, don't ever call my daughter by names. She was born between two true loves and I love her more than anything in the world."

"Miss. Kader if you forget..." He began to speak but stopped when we heard a click sound on my door.

"Ahh...sorry to interrupt you sir but your dad is waiting for you." Juliet informed half opening the door.

"Leave. I will come." He said harshly. "What's now?" I heard him mutter under his breath while giving me one hard glare before he walks out of my room.

I let out a long audible sigh that I'm holding since I'm started to frame everything with lies, and clasped my shivering hands together to calm my pounding heart.

I can't believe this. I just narrated him a story and he believed all those lies. Oh, God!. How I get into this.

When I reached my apartment, I brought Sweety from Miss. Jaden who was in her mid sixty and very kind personality especially to kids.

She has no kids so her husband abandoned her and divorced. After that, she moved here to New York and worked in a daycare as a caretaker.

She has retired from her job a month ago but still continuing her job from her home. She considers this as her passion. Sweety and Miss Jaden are so close since we moved here. She used to call her granny.

"Okay baby, it's time for dinner. Come on! Dinner ready!!" I yelled from the kitchen.

"Yes! I'm coming." She giggled and I heard tiny footsteps approaching the kitchen. "Mommy, I will take this." She helped me to set the foods on the table.

Haven't I told you that she acts so far than any five years old kids do?

When I was about to bring soup from the kitchen, I heard a doorbell ringing.

"Sweety... baby can you see who has come?" I yelled from the kitchen.

"Okay mom," she replied in her baby voice and I found myself smiling.

"Mom!! A pregnant aunt is standing in front of our door. May I open the door?"

I furrowed my brows. Who has come at this time? I set the soup on the table and wiped my hands at the edge of my shirt.

I opened the door and froze once I saw who is standing in front of me. To my surprise, she too froze on her spot and looked at me with wide eyes.

I can't blame her, she couldn't have expected me here but somehow I expected as this day will come but not too soon, at least, by today.

I opened the door widely for her and she stepped in. For a second, I forgot that she is Karan's mom.

"I can't believe my own eyes, it was you. How are you Riya?" she asked in a friendly tone.

"I'm fine Rachel, how are you?" I asked politely.

"Good. I hope we are still having that good bond. Aren't we?" Her eyes shone with confidence.

"Yeah! Sure." I nodded my head and gestured her to come inside. She will me and took a seat on the couch in front of me.

"Why are you here at this time?" I asked bluntly. For that, she raised her perfect eyebrows with confusion.

"I mean late this night." I managed to rectify the query.

"Oh!!! He was sticking me around all the time." She said looking at her son. "I was getting tired of him, so I got your address from Mrs. Kean but I hadn't expected to see you here." She shrugged her shoulder but the contentment in her eyes was very clear to read by me.

I gave her a small smile. "So you both would have met in the school right?" She asked.

"I'm sorry for him." she gave me an apologized look once she earned the answer from my Silence.

"It has nothing to do with you," I assured her then we heard giggles from the kids. We both looked at them who were playing happily.

"She is just like you," she whispered losing into herself. It seems she has a mental debate inside her mind.

"Yeah, except her eyes," I said to her.
