204: Let Me In
After Sharon's words fell off, Dr. Lloyd drew a calm breath and mused, ‘Dear Heaven. It seems like not only Achilles Hector had been active from the shadows.’Every moment since he set eyes on Sharon Grace, all he had grasped was mystery in motion. She'd literally make one question what they hold in high esteem and have them believe what they wouldn't have imagined.From how Dr. Lloyd’s eyes were flickering, it looked like he was more eager to uncover what Sharon knew than Star Hayden.“What's really going on? Abel Hitler? Do you mean the dead ex-chairman of the Liverpool Anti-Fraud Crime Commission? Huh?”At the sound of ‘dead’, Sharon almost gave in to knowing laughter. She maintained a mysterious expression.Star huffed in frustration and stood with her arms positioned in akimbo style. “Wa-W-Wait? He was Felix's older brother? Like a cousin or something like that?”Star's brow raised while moving her lips. The more she listened to her biological mother, the more her confusion skyro
203: Not Another Eunice
Sharon Grace slowly raised her head and awkwardly cleared her throat while stroking her brows.She widened her mouth a couple of times, but no words found their way out. All she did was stare at her daughter with complication.Star drew a deep breath and moved backwards for a moment in striking thought.She parted her lips but her tongue moved in a stutter, “W-wait M-mum?...”She blinked an eyelid for a moment trying to catch her breath before proceeding. “Do you by chance know about Felix's impotence beforehand?”Sharon's breath hitched for a moment as a surge of shivers ran through her chest. She had feared her daughter wanted to resume her inquiry about her past life.In the spur of the moment, Sharon rolled her eyes and mouthed without hesitation, “No dear!”Dr. Lloyd literally held his breath while eavesdropping. The ongoing drama was so juicy that if he didn't watch his steps, he'd make his presence known.As long as they didn't smell a hint of his presence, he was good to go. H
202: Shame|Regrets|Protection
Star’s words were an obvious question that Sharon Grace had expected. She was already putting in the response in her tongue before Star spilled it out.Without hesitation, Sharon obliged, “We share a lot of traits dear. I haven't been bold enough to confront my actions in the past and come for you. The same way you had lived under the shackles of Eunice Hayden and didn't fight for your will till recently.”She pecked Star's arms and continued, “Seeing how boldly you stood against them, I wept in shame for giving fate the opportunity of getting you into Haydens' household in the first place. You wouldn't have had any business there if not for my past regrettable deeds.”Sharon's words were gradually taking shape, and Star was willing to listen to every hint of sound she made while at it.Sharon sniffled and shook her head in self-disappointment. “After your brawl with Eunice and Felix. I knew there was no going back in doing what must be done. It was crystal clear that I shouldn't deve
201: “Are They Still Alive?”
Sharon Grace shivered in shock at Star Hayden’s reaction and, most especially, at her statement: Hey, momma.While entertaining the most unbelievable embrace of her life, it took her quite a while to come to terms with the reality that Star was actually hugging her.Several thoughts kept crashing in her head that she kept musing to make sense of everything, ‘What is she really planning to do? This isn't ordinary! She just embraced and called me momma. What if she had a malicious plan in store?’Her head was continually jumbled with questionable thoughts about Star, and her breath came in sharp gasps.She slowly returned to reality when she could feel Star's heartbeat against her chest and noticed her biological daughter was doing all she could to calm her nerves down.The mother's instincts struck her—she moved her right fingers towards Star’s back and softly caressed her shoulders to relax her nerves.Within moments of doing that, gently, Star drew a thick exhalation and her throbbin
200: Finally
Star, on seeing Sharon's yielding expression, charged on. “You're the most diplomatic woman I've encountered. You didn't stay focused on my affairs and Gabrielle's just for nothing. C’mon, you aren't jobless and whatever you give your time must be worth it! What is it you're not saying? I promise I'd give a listening ear no matter how stupid it sounds.”“Tell me all the secrets! You can't keep shutting me out from knowing what I need to know!”Sharon let out a sharp exhalation and nodded. “Ye-yeah. I can't keep burying the truth in me, nor did I plan to take it to my grave.”After a few moments of subtle eye contact from Sharon, she proceeded, “You're right all along. I have been in your life for a reason and not because I just wanted to keep close tabs on a certain Damsel called: Star Hayden.”Star's breath hitched for a moment as she wished Sharon wouldn't stop halfway in and decide not to speak again about it.Dr. Lloyd had the same thoughts wandering through his mind and hoped Sha
199: Knocking On Paradise Door
Instantly, Sharon Grace froze in her seat, her eyes fixated on one of her beautiful artistic works on the wall.Time seemed to slow down as Star’s last words sank into her heart. She was quite aware of Ms. Hayden's inquisitiveness, and she wouldn't leave her apartment without answers.Dr. Lloyd's ears perked up in utmost anticipation to grasp what was more behind the whole drama. His fingers were already on his device, in keeping Achilles apprised immediately Sharon finally got talking.Star slammed her feet against the tilted floor, completely pissed off with Sharon's incessant silence.She shirked, thick veins thrust on her forehead, “You said I'd find even more information than expected. Why are you betraying your words?”“You need to say something!”A thousand times over, Star stared at the portrait of little self with Sharon Grace while holding her passionately.So many thoughts crashed into her mind, and she wished Sharon would provide answers to her gutted questions.She didn't
