  I can't believe that happened a while ago. To think that Mrs. Melton justified her daughter cheating as a fair game just because Michael was in love with Nina. I can't sit back and watch this without doing anything. My friend is in the hospital fighting for her life and they are here tarnishing her image by referring to her as a mistress.
  &quot; What do you mean by you have evidence ?&quot; Diana asked me. I ignored her, I don't think she is worthy of the title of a mother. How can a mother be so greedy as to be ready to sacrifice her son's happiness just because of wealth and properties? I can never do that to my baby. No. Nev

  I was discharged from the hospital today. I rode the car in silence as both of my parents kept glancing at me from time to time trying to strike up a conversation with me but I was not in the mood.

  Today was my wedding, I couldn't help being proud of how far I've come and endured. I rub my hands gently on my stomach and turned to look at my wedding gown which was already on the dress stand.
  &quot; Congratulations, Deborah&quot; Diana's sweet voice exclaimed from the doorway as I turned to stare at her with a smile on my face too. She came over today to help me dress. I'm so grateful for her coming as I had dreaded mom helping today.
  &quot; Thank you, Diana. How's Michael?&quot; I asked her slowly pretending that I wasn't a bit curious. I wanted to know if he had pulled out of the wedding or had said anything to them.
