"Uhm.. A bit? " I replied, running a hand through my rough hair.
"Good, go make me dinner..." Stephen said, pushing me to get up.
"Stephen... I thought you love me. Is this how you'll treat your girl? I'm pregnant, remember? You want to stress me? Dad must hear about this." I whined.
"Fine, fine. You've had your way, haven't you?" Stephen said.
"Go make me dinner. Baby is making me damn hungry." I said, rubbing my belly.
"Yes, boss." He said, taking his phone on his reading table.
"10 missed calls?" Stephen said, looking confused.
"Who's that?" I asked, taking my phone beside me.
"Stiles." Stephen said.
"20 missed calls from Bella too. This was last night. Isn't it weird?" I say.
"No, Stiles calls mostly when it's urgent. You never told me Bella was making out with Stiles. I still can't believe it."
"What?! They are dating?" I asked, surprised.
"You never knew?"
"No, she didn't tell me." I can't believe Bella never told me. I thought I was her bestie.
"Hmm. I'm gonna go make breakfast." He said leaving the room...
Patricia's POV
I was just coming back from a night party when i heard voices in my dad's study room. I heard everything my dad was discussing with his lawyer... Leaving me shocked.
"So, who are you planning to hand all your properties to, Mr Scott?"
"Sharon. She's the one I trust my properties with. Patricia might just spend all my investment in the mall. I regret raising her to be spoilt."
"Okay, sign here, sir." He handed the documents to my dad and he signed. He didn't even think twice about it.
I ran out of the house crying, driving out of the garage. I went straight to Tyler. I didn't know where else to go.
"What happened?!" Tyler asked shocked.
"If it's Stephen I swear..." He threatened.
"No, no. It's not about him. It's my dad." I blew my nose, entering.
Tyler poured a drink for me but I collected the bottle, gulping it instantly. . He knew he couldn't argue with me.
I notice Tyler was waiting for me to explain everything but I just want to get wasted right now.
"She took everything away from me! My happiness, my family, Stephen and my dad is handling his entire property to that bitch called sister. I won't watch her take everything from me! I ruin her! I've had enough of her winning."
Tyler pulls me into a hug and I'm so determined on having my revenge. Nothing can change my mind this time.

Sharon's POV
Mom called that dad's regained consciousness and he's so keen on seeing me and Stephen. Mostly, me. I was surprised and happy too and we went straight to the hospital. Stephen had been having different thoughts about my dad.
'Your dad doesn't like me. I don't want to ruin anything. Just let me stay at home.'
I entered into his ward. Mom was trying to feed him but he wouldn't eat.
"Hey." I said, sitting beside him.
"Sharon.. I'm..." He tried to speak.
"I'm glad you're alive, dad. At least you wouldn't miss my graduation next week ." I say. I haven't been excited about graduating since dad was shot and also when I broke up with Stephen but I'm happy everything's turning out well.
"Talk to your dad to at least put something in his belly." Mom said, giving us breathing space.
" You called me dad." He smiled.
"You're my dad." I said, caressing his hands.
"I wasn't a good father. I treated you differently. I guess this was my reward . I deserve it and I don't deserve a second chance for life. I'm sorry for not being the father you've always wanted. I'm sorry for not caring for you at your your time in need. I'm..." He said with tears dripping down his face.
"Dad, dad. I forgave you a long time ago. It's all in the past now. I want you to think about now. A new life."
"Sharon... I'm not strong enough."
"We believe in you dad. You can fight this."
He sighed and gave a nod.
"Where's Stephen?" Dad asked.
The door opened gently and I had a feeling Stephen had been listening to all our conversation.
"Stephen..." My dad chuckled.
I could notice Stephen was actually thinking my dad would say something bad about him.
"You never gave up on my daughter." My dad smiled. I could notice Stephen breathing out. He was scared.
Stephen's POV
I entered in taking a deep breathe. I noticed Sharon and her dad were getting along. Maybe I eavesdrop a little. I was just so curious.
I didn't know what to say. I rubbed my wet hands on my tight skinny jeans. I was under pressure. Don't blame for being such a shy girl but last time with her dad was torment.
"Stephen..." Sharon's dad chuckled. I felt like there's was a bomb in between us.
"You never gave up on my daughter." He said. I was surprised. A smile escaped my lips, breathing out.
"You truly do love my daughter. You both have come this far and I can't just wait for both of you to get married."
Sharon and I looked at him surprisingly. Is this really her dad?
"Married? Dad are you being serious? " Sharon asked to be sure.
"Yeah, and I want my grandson to be as handsome as me." Her Dad says.
*************
Bella came in unaware that we were inside the room.
"Oh... I'm sorry." She said turning back to leave.
"Bella, wait." My dad stopped her.
"We just finished talking. I want to speak with you." Dad says.
I notice Bella wasn't the same as I met her last. She looked pale. I hugged her but she didn't hug me back. Stephen and I went outside, waiting for her to come out so we can sought things out.
