Chapter 27

Bella's POV

'No Mom, am okay. Just check out yourself infront of the mirror." He said.

I did as he said and Christ, I was shocked at what am staring at. He got me a necklace with best mom as the pendant.

'Oh my goodness!" I screamed with one of my hand on my mouth and the other one on my neck keeping myself from crying and my mouth from screaming.

I can't believe this,I thought pinching myself in the cheek. No wonder he asked them not to pack it together.

He doesn't want me to know what he bought for me,he wants it to be a surprise.

God this son is a way nicer than my own sin,why did you give me such a nice sin who only put smile on my face with all my sin,I thought thanking God for giving him to me.

Only if our family is completed,I thought looking very sad but still covered it by the happiness.

Making my way back to my son,I bent down and picked him up. Throwing him up because he love me doing that to him.

He started laughing telling me to drop him while I didn't answer until he started screaming for Leo while laughing.

Putting him down,he hugged me to himself and I did so while kissing his head.

'You are everything I wish for,I love you Desmond." I said still hugging him.

" I love you too mom. 'He said placing his head on my neck.

After sometimes, I bring him down only to realize he is already asleep.

I took him to the bed because we both sleep on the same bed then cover him up.

Looking at his face, he is also in my memory, he looks like his father only if he could be gentle that day, we might have something to hold unto forever.

Yes, the moment I sighted him, I fell in love with him even after what he did that night, my heart still beat for him.

Especially when I we met in my father's house, I couldn't stop the handsome comment u have him.

More wanted to come out that day also but I have no choice but to cut it off by imagining the pain he made me go through.

So instead of the sweet comment, I gave him a hurtful advice before walking away.

Not to lie, it's the love I have for him that's holding me back from telling my dad about the card.

I couldn't because I was waiting patiently for him to come by and apologize.

Even though he didn't, I had to jump into the river that day so that I won't have to tell Dad who he is.

Enough about his lover girl before it g t out of hand, my inner mind warned and I rolled my eyes.

Stepping into the bathroom, I stripped myself then showered again.

With my bath robe on my body, I changed to my nightie in the closet then placed the necklaces my son bought in it's box putting it on the heart shaped table.

Climbing up on my bed, I prayed and slept off…

Is she still inlove with him?

Bella's POV

Three days flew like it's just a day, still remember the day my son bought me a necklace. So thoughtful of him.

I kept complementing him which do make him look so shy whenever I do so. He even had to beg me so that I won't tell my P.A because she would keep on pulling his legs.

It's just a day to relocate to New York City. Although, we only want to be there for some years cause I want my son to have the best pull.

And being in the heart of the country, he will have more influence maybe I can think of forgiving my parents then who knows.

I am sure they would have learnt their lesson although, am not changing my name from Checkers.

They can just be my biological parents by mouth and blood but my adopted parents will always come first.

'Come in." I call out to whoever it's at the entrance while staring down the city for where I stood.

I know it would be my O. a cause my phone has been ringing since same as the office phone which makes me wonder what's wrong.

She already got the clue that I want to be alone but if she have something important I need to know about, she can just come without informing me through call.

'Ma'am you have a visitor." She said.

'Let him or her in." I said still not turning around.

" Okay ma'am. 'She replied.

" But I just got a call some minutes ago that's our company has been stick with those goods you order sam as the three houses, they are ready. 'She said.

" Then we should be able to leave for New York later this evening. 'I said.

" Prepare our paper work alongside yours, grandma and grandpa are coming also with leo. 'I said while looking at my time .

" We have four hours left to go so find the next flight to New York City. 'I said.

" Okay ma'am. 'She replied then the click of my door followed meaning she is out already.

Not long, a knock sound on my door making me sigh. I really want to enjoy silent before I vacate California today. I thought.

'Come in." I called out to whoever is at the other side of the door.

" Here is your visitor ma'am." She said making me turn around only to find my best friend staring around like a lost puppy.

'Hey reporter." I greeted making her realize am right here.

'Alicia." She called making me shocked. Like I was really shock how she knows am the one.

Clearing my voice after realizing how obvious I look give her the satisfaction that she Guess right.

'No, I am Bella, Bella checkers." I said trying to cover up but instead, my voice was breaking which makes her laugh.

Damnit, old habits don't leave one. I thought rolling my eyes at my inability to lie to my best friend.


She knows already.
