  &quot; Woah! You look so beautiful, my darling daughter&quot; Mom's voice greeted me at the doorway. 
  I turned to smile at her, before turning back to stare at the mirror. We were at the Thompson's hotel where the baby shower was to take place
  &quot; Mom, are you saying I wasn't beautiful before?&quot; I groaned at her, rolling my eyes playfully. 
  She smiled and walked into the room,&quot; Whatever. I can't wait to see my little baby girls&quot; 
  &quot; Mom!!&quot; I shouted at her in shock as I turned rapidly to the door afraid that Michael might have heard that.
  &quot; I'm trying to keep the sex a secret from Michael, please&quot; I pleaded with her rolling my eyes at her.

  on me but rather on Joey trying to keep him out of harm's way since he was walking all around the sitting room with a smile on his baby's face.
  &quot; That's she's only keeping me alive because of my ba

   FIVE MONTHS LATER
  &quot; She did what?&quot; I screamed angrily into the phone. I can't believe that stupid girl. After everything she had done to me she still went ahead and became the CEO of my company. The company my parents had worked so hard to build. She is so dead right now!!
  &quot; What is it, Deborah? I heard your scream right from the room. Are you okay?&quot; I heard Xavier ask me as I turned to see him standing in front of the bedroom door looking at me while he rubs at his eyes, obviously just waking up since he was shirtless.
  &quot; Nothing&quot; I lied to him and stood up from the chair to walk out to the balcony to receive my call in peace. I don't want him starting on why I should stop this revenge. Something he has been doing ever since Nina and Michael got married.
  &quot; Tell me, what else?&quot; I shouted at the man across the phone. I had hired him to gat
