Father….
“Diana , you don’t have to be so mad at me. She said she was sorry, I had to forgive her. Clearly she’s genuinely sorry.”
“Sorry you say?! That girl is trying to manipulate you , Geez Tihana.”
They had just gotten off the cab and Diana had been so angry at Tihana that she refuses to say a word to her and just walk into the apartment. Tihana walked behind, trying to make her see reasons as of why she forgave Blossom but Diana seems persistent about the issue.
“I don’t want to talk about this Tihana. You need to rest, I’m going to work, I’ll see you when I get back.” Diana came out if the room with her hand bag, taking her car keys , she walks away.
Tihana breathed and sat down, just immediately her phone starts ringing and it was an unsaved number..
“Hey.”
“Tihana… Please, please Father is dying and we need your help.”
Tihana stood up at alert immediately. “Emma? Where are you? Where is father?”
“We’re still at home and his breathing is no longer steady.”
“I’m on my way… Why isn’t he in the hospital and you never told me he’s sick?.”
“You know I couldn’t, we aren’t good to you. But we need you please.”
“Call the ambulance and take him to the hospital, I’ll meet you guys there. Just text me which hospital it is.”
“Okay.”
The call was disconnected as Tihana rushed out… When Tihana shut the door behind her, she bumped into someone and was surprised to see the man she never expected to see.
“Mr Norman? What are you doing here?” Tihana asks, trying to act like everything was okay.
She wondered what Mr Norman was doing at Diana’s door, does he have any business with Diana?
But Tihana doesn’t believe it, because Diana had clearly stated she doesn’t like him nor his daughter.
“Uhmm.. ” Mr Norman stuttered but at the end, no words could come out of his father.
“I see you’re heading out in a hurry. Where are you going? I could take you?”
Tihana stare at him suspiciously before responding.
“I’m going to the hospital. Got a call that my step father is sick.”
“Oh. Well, glad I’m here. Get into the car and I’ll drop you then.”
Tihana chuckles. “That won’t be necessary sir. I’ll go with a cab.”
“I insist. I’m already here.”
Tihana finally gives in. And when tho she had a lot of question to ask Mr Norman, she tend to hold it back. Question like what is he doing here! But Tihana have a lot to worry about now than this.
Emma sound so worried on the phone and it seems that the issue was a big one. Her phone vibrated and when she checked it, it was the expected text from Emma.
“Dabs Hospital please.” Tihana turn to say to Mr Norman who just nodded before speaking.
“You need to calm down. Nothing will happen to him.”
“I know. But over the phone, Emma sounded so worried.”

“She’s pregnant!?” Trenton shouted as he stare at Blossom with furry in his eyes.
“Don’t shout like that at me. Geez I almost went deaf.”
“Sorry.” Trenton muttered slowly and sat down.
“Why ain’t you looking worried about this situation? You told me you were going there to fake apologize and then gather information, why ain’t you worried about this.”
Blossom let out a chuckle. “You’re right. Cause Now, Trenton…. I had lot of plans.”
“What plans? I don’t care whatever it is you want to do. I want Tihana, and I won’t let you hurt her. Not even a pinch on her skin.”
“Wow! You love her that much don’t you? Then tell me, why did you both broke up in the first place?”
Trenton swallowed and look away. “None of your business. What plan do you have?”
“Just like you said, Trenton. The marriage is fake.”
“I told ya! That means I still have the chance of getting to her? Perhaps she still loves me but she’s just ignoring because of the fake marriage.”
Blossom nodded. “So you see? You can have her and I can have my Aiden. But the problem remains, she’s carrying his baby. So we have to do one thing to get them separated.”
“What’s that?”
“I heard from Aiden’s best hand man.. that the only thing keeping them together was that baby.”
**RECAP**
“I don’t need you around me Blossom. And why am I feeling dizzy?”
“Don’t worry. I didn’t give you the same substance I gave to Aiden. I just gave you a little of something different. Now, tell me… If you don’t want me to hurt your little play thing, tell me what the relationship with Aiden and Tihana really is.”
“They… It’s just a contract Marriage.”
*PRESENT*
“Wow Blossom. You amaze me honestly! Wayne is really a hard nut and no matter how much you questions him of anything personal about Aiden, he never says.”
“Well… Not to me. I get the information I need. Now, it’s my time to play the game. I’ll be visiting Aiden soon.”
There was a big smile on her face. She just couldn’t wait to have him. Perhaps Aiden was doing this to make her jealous not because he doesn’t love her.
“You could’ve just told me.” She muttered to herself. Taking her handbag, she stood up.
“Take care of your little girlfriend. About her pregnancy? I figured out it’s been just two months. I still have time to take it out.” With a chuckle, Blossom walk out of the office.
Trenton led back on the chair and breathed. It felt so good to hear that nothing serious was going on between this two. It was just another cheesy game of Aiden.
“Bravo Aiden!”

“Emma. Why are you crying? ” Tihana rushed down the hall immediately after she saw Emma standing and laying her back on the wall.
“Tihana!” Emma rushed towards her , pulling her into a hug, still in tears.
“It’s okay. I’m here now, you can relax.”
“Father…” Emma sniffs and pull away from the hug.
“Father didn’t make it!..”
