Chapter 5 ~ Return ~

♡ Hira's pov ♡

"Granna did that?" I asked in disbelief.

The voice on the other side confirms, "Yes, you need to come here."

To Country A? Again?

I rather not.

"No, i don't want to, you can solve the issue yourselves, I don't want to take any part in it."

Was what I said but nevertheless I knew i had to go.

Granna had left a will in which she had assigned me as the sole owner of all the wealth alongside whoever i marry.

But it doesn't make sense why she would leave out her own- blood related grandchildren out of this and give it to me, someone who doenst share a drop of blood with her.

I was just the orphan daughter of Grannas closest and most loved assistant, so much so that when my mother died from cancer Granna decided she wanted to adopt me.

I was 7 when my mom died, before her death I was living with her untill after I had turned 8 that i started to live with the Adams.

After some years, I was sent abroad. But there were far more serious reasons for that.

But as far as I remember, no matter how much she loved, she loved her grandchildren just as dearly if not more.

Well, I was about to find out anyways.

Upon reaching in Country A, into the home i left twice, with the people I left hateful of me; I fought to not just leave at that moment.

Many lawyers were there and we were all Informed of grannas will.

It turns out the law firm was left to the Adams family children alongside a couple of other land.

Whilst the rest of assets belonged to me, in my name. Only I was it's sole owner.

I didn't know how to feel about that ay that moment: grateful? Confused? Awkward?

Yet, that wasn't even the highlight of the day.

The position of Ceo at the law firm would go to my husband.

The day Granna finalised the will was the day Alex agreed to the wedding. As soon as the wedding happened, he had become the Ceo.

Sympathy? Pity?

You thought that was worst?

Heh. He used you, Hira. Like tissue and then threw you when he no longer needed you.

How bittersweet.

How cruel.

How monstrous.

He used my feelings for him. My love. He lead me on, made me think he was in love with me. He manipulated me that everything that happened during the course of our marriage was because of me, only because of me.

But, it was him. The mastermind of all of this.

He planned everything from making me fall in love with him, to the marriage and our divorce.

Just to get his hands on a position.

That would mean he knew of all the bad things I done to Cara, he wanted me to do it. So he could pit evidence against me and use it as a reason for divorce. Like I could say no?

Hahahahah. Ha...

He never loved anyone.

How pathetic.

What was I going to do then? Take the will and accept the wealth? No. I didnt know how Noah would react. He seemed greedy and heartless enough to plot something else against just so he can take those assets from me.

Alex wasnt just cruel towards me. He was cruel to the person who love wholeheartedly.

I had made up my mind to leave the country after rejecting the will and splitting ut amongst the twins and Nate and Alan.

But it seemed as though everytime i tried to move on with my life, somethinv held onto me, wanting me to come back to the place that hurt me the most.

5 days after the meeting of the will Grannas lawyer, Mr Jackson, came to give me a diary. Supposedly Grannas.

For the next 2 weeks, I was glued to it, reading every single page carefully.

Every single word she had written with her own hands had me sobbing. So much i didn't think I'd be able to cry for the next 16 years.

Yet nothing amassed the point to where she wrote a seceret message to me.

I remember flicking through the pages pf the diary, i had already finished it all but would occasionally come back to re-read it.

Nothing was much different on that day than the fact that in the cover of the diary was a small paper hidden.

Slowly, I took it out and opened it, reading the content of it.

Could anything have me shocked and tremble at that point anymore? I didn't think so. But I was wrong. I didnt just tremble, I fell down to my knees. My reaction to letter is so vivid in my memory; each letter pained me.

I also remember that for the next 3 years that i stayed in country A fighting Alex, it was because of that letter.

Yet I remember noting of the content of that letter.
