I always thought life was perfect having my big brother and sister together with aunt Clara and uncle Claire. And not to mention my Mom, but I guess it wasn't. Not growing up with a Dad was one of the saddess moment in my life but I was at ease knowing my Mom will always be there for me and a father like figure,uncle Claire. Happiness as they say doesn't last long as I lost everything immediately i got my long awaited blessing. I finally had a grandma and grandpa, an uncle and a beautiful aunt together with a kind of not so humble kind of cousin. But the cruel reality of life was that I was never born for happiness. I lost my whole world that day and the only thing I had of it, my memories. I lost my favorite aunt who i always thought loved me together with any other person I could call family. I was taken in by the least expected people at that rime, my crush's family and it seems it was also a brewing storm. Here I am many years later standing in between my brother and lover with the most confused expression I ever had. "You are mine Monica...you always were..." "My little pumpkin will never fall in love with her brother right...don't listen to this rascal Monica, his love isn't worthy to hold our wedding rings..." "Monica please believe me, we once loved each oth..." "ENOUGH!!" I could feel my whole world crumbling down seeing the two most important persons in my life fighting over my love. But the worst news was to come as my best friend who is a detective came running in with files in hand. "Monica...we have identified the boy...He's name is Marco Aari..." That was all it took for me to lose my balance and lose my consciousness... "MONICA!!!"
Chapter 1 ITS A GIRL
"Ahhhhh...."Mrs Martha screamed in pain. "Keel pushing.."the doctors were in panic as they tried to ensure a safe delivery.
"The head...c'mon keep pushing.." everyone was in a state of panic due to the status of the child they were delivering.
About 10minutes later,a baby's cry was heard. "He's here 'Ha...ha..ha' my son is finally here.." a middle-aged man was heard laughing in the corridor.
"Congratulations ma'am,its a girl" the doctor said as he passed the child to Mrs Martha. Mrs Martha had a pained expression when receiving the child."My precious.." she said weakly.
After a few seconds deep in thought,she wiped her tears and said " no matter what I'm,I'm gonna protect you" she said in a determined voice.
Meanwhile,the doctor who went to deliver the 'good'news was met with a slap."WHAT".He screamed with disbelieve all over his face.
"WHY...WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE A GIRL"he screamed as he trashed the corridor. "Mr Maxwell...please..um...control yourself....this is a hospital..."
The doctors around try to control him but he rushed into the operating room and landed a slap on Mrs Martha's face. 'Pa'
"I'm....ssorrry...I..I tried my best plleassse spare me "Mrs Martha begged as she held onto her swollen cheek.
"YOU UNGRATEFUL B*TCH...AFTER ALL I SACRIFICED FOR YOU AND YOU STILL COULDN'T GIVE ME AN HEIR..YOU....YOU" if not for the doctors present,he would have beaten her to death.
"After nine months of stress....after all I invested in you during this period,after everything...."he kept on screaming with his blood shot eyes.
Mrs Martha had nothing else to say but to plead. She married Mr Maxwell when she was 17.She was the first missy of the Jones family and the heir to the Jones Corporation.
She met Mr Maxwell on her 16years birthday. Mr Maxwell at that time was in charge of the Stars Corporation due to his father's health.
A fifty something year old man coming to a teenage birthday wasn't something to pay attention to because several business men around that age brought their sons to establish a relationship with the Jones.
But this particular man came alone and even mingled among her friends. Unlike other old men Mr Maxwell still possessed his handsomeness from hes youth age and was especially dashing.
Mrs Martha was especially friendly to everyone and was always prone to plots and betrays so her free nature made her his target. From a toast to dance to getting drunk until it ended in bed.
This was how a young and beautiful girl with a promising future ended up marrying an old man.The Jones was against the idea but she insisted he loved her and she was eventually disowned by her family.
At first he was a loving and caring husband who cares and doted on his wife, but after he discovered she wasn't getting pregnant even after constant trials his attitude towards her made a 180degrees change.
Neglecting his love for her,he got married to another woman a year later and continued until he had an harem of 10.
His second wife Mrs Chloe, was divorced after she gave birth to a girl and four of the remaining wives who were infertile were divorced also.
