Aaliyah Pov.

After Harry's words. Since that day I have decided to keep more eye on Clark and I serve him food. There was a time he didn't even want to see me or talk to me. I could see in his eyes that I disgust him but I don't know the reason why he doesn't even want to see me breath near him.

It was a sunny afternoon and I had made Clark go on a long walk to the garden and the beautiful playgrounds. I watched the butterflies go up and down but my eyes never left him.

He instructed me to go back in and I slowly rode him back to the entrance of the house. I could see a car parked outside the house. The door opened and lo, it was Eve with her skimpy dress.

She smirked at me and strode towards me. "I can see you are having a nice time with your crippled man." She teased and my eyes darkened.

"Who do you think you are, to come in here and call my husband cripple! That's none of your damn business and just go into the damn house." I cursed, I was already losing my anger.

She laughed like she loved whatever she was doing to me.

"Will you excuse me now? Not everyone is lousy as you are Eve. Not everyone would be like you going round and stealing people's man." I fired and I could see her gritting her teeth like a crazy woman before I left her there.

"I am sorry for the commotion." I pleaded as soon as I was in his room but as usual he didn't say a word. Always quite like he wasn't seeing anything.

I just wish he would just speak up one day.

"I'm going to the hospital tomorrow" I said and he glanced up at me then I continued when it looked like I got his attention."I want to check on my mom." I told him and I could see his hard face becoming soft.

He had a soft spot for those in the sick bay like him. So sweet.

He surely must have his weakness and how he becomes soft.

I prayed silently as I opened the door to the hospital. My eyes laid on my mother's pale body on the sick bed. It was like there was no improvement because she was still groaning like the last time I came.

"Mom," I called softly and she stared up.

She wasn't even asleep.

"My daughter," She cried in a whisper. "I miss you Lee."She cried and I rushed towards her, placing my head on her body.

"What's going on mom? What happened to your treatment?" I asked and she sighed.

"They just suddenly stopped giving me the treatment. I asked them why and it was made known that he doesn't have money for now." She said and I frowned.

"That man!" I groaned. "He promised to treat you! You not getting treatment can lead to another thing. I don't want you to die." I cried out.

I was mad, mad at myself for believing his lies and now I couldn't tell her the deal.

"Aaliyah, I heard you got married and I know you did this because of me." She said in a worried expression. "I'm sorry dear. I should be the one doing this, not you. I hope he's treating you well?" She asked and I nodded.

If only she knew he was crippled.

After leaving the room, I went over to the doctor with instructions that he must start treatment with my mother immediately.

" Doc. Let's get this over with. Start the treatment with my mother now. I won't forgive you if anything happens to her"I threatened and he sighed.

"Your father said he doesn't have that luxury yet and that he had tried for your mother a lot." He replied and I scoffed.

Tried for my mother? This man was so getting on my nerves.

"Doctor! I'm telling you now to go on with that treatment. I will make a scene here if you don't start. I will come pay for the money myself." I told him and he nodded.

"Okay then, we will start very fast now."

When I left the hospital, I headed to that house. Where my father and his wife stayed. I was going to eat him alive.

"Where is that man!" I asked angrily as I stepped into the big house.

"Who is making a fuss this early morning?" I heard Maria ask and I scoffed.

"Whatever it is you call it. I want to see that man who calls himself my father!" I demanded and I saw him, he was looking good and refreshed as he stepped down the stairs like he was the innocent perfect man every lady wanted. But he was the opposite.

"What did you tell the doctor?" I asked, my hands wrapped together.

"And what did you hear?" He questioned back too and I hissed.

"Father! How dare you stop my mother's treatment after I did what you asked me to do! You asked me to marry that dead man and I did but then you suddenly breached the contract!"I yelled agitatedly but he just stared like all I was saying was some Japanese.

"Won't you say a word!!! What kind of a man are you! Why are you this despicable? You are heartless and don't think of people other than you. You pushed me to marry that man and I did but you failed your promise."

I was more hurt now. I could have just not gotten involved in the marriage thing. I regret all my actions right now.

"What contract are you talking about?"he asked with a smirk appearing on his face. "The last time I checked, I never signed a contract with you. So how then did I breach the contract again? Do you know what you're saying at all?" He asked and I battled my eyelashes.

"What! Did you just say you didn't breach any contract? You are a liar! And I want to see you rot in a sick bed when you eventually get sick with Cancer and it would be stage thr……

"Tah Tah". Two hot slaps that I wasn't expecting landed on my face and I groaned.
