Chapter 137 - MEETING VIEN

"I love your son and I will do everything for him."

Claire nodded her head in understanding. She then gave me an admiring smile.

"I'm glad that Ace chose you as his other half."

The moment I heard her words, I couldn't help but smile. Ace is the love of my life. I too was glad I chose him.

I honestly couldn't think of any other man except him.

We've been together for more than five years now and to be honest, it was the happiest and the most challenging time of my life.

True my life with him had been full of ups and downs but in the end I was able to make it through the fire and the biggest achievement was that I am able to keep our family together.

Claire let go of my fingers and wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes.

"Sorry, I'm so emotional right now. I'm just so happy to be finally talking to you." She blushed as she gave me a smile filled with tenderness. "Anyway, finish your hot chocolate. I want you to meet someone."

I didn't ask who. I just nodded my head and brought the cup to my lips. When It was finished, I handed Claire the empty cup.

"Wait for a while, I will be back." She said and hurriedly made her way towards the door with the tray that contained the empty cup in her hand.

Claire opened the door and stepped outside. When I couldn't see her anymore, I leaned on the headboard.

I wonder if Ace is alright wherever he is now. I missed him so badly that my heart ached while thinking about him.

Claire said she wanted me to meet someone, who would that be?

The room was silent. The only sound I could hear was the ticktock of the clock. Minutes passed by but Claire hadn't returned so I decided to leave the bed.

Aside from the slight pounding in my head, and the pain in my lips I'm perfectly fine.

There was a soft knock on the door. When it opened, a uniformed servant entered. She was young, or perhaps it was her youthful smile that gave me the impression she's younger than her real age. "Miss Ravenwood is inside another room. Please follow me."

Despite my confusion, I raised no question and followed the servant who led me to the spacious corridors. When I thought we would be walking forever, she pulled into a stop at a particular door.

"Before you enter Ma'am Phoenix, please calm yourself."

I didn't understand what she meant but I followed her anyway. I took a deep calming breath and when I felt lighter, I pulled the door open…. Claire was standing near the window. When she saw me enter, she turned towards me.

Slowly, I made my way towards the bed only to freeze in shock when my gaze shifted to the bed where a little girl was seated.

In a blink of an eye, the self-control I thought I possessed crumbled to the flawless white floor.

No one could have prepared me for the scene in front of me. Seated right in front of the bed was Vien…. My daughter.

A sob erupted from my lips as pain gripped my heart.

I must have missed her so much that I'm imagining things.

Vien, my first born, was dead. She died in an accident and that is all because of me. And the child in front of me was a different girl. I am only seeing an illusion.

I blinked rapidly and waited for my illusion to stop, to my surprise it didn't change one bit. The child lying on the bed was Vien's perfect replica.

I wiped the tears abundantly flowing down my flushed cheeks. But the more I wiped the tears with the back of my palms the more my tears flowed abundantly.

Before I even knew it, I was violently sobbing and kneeling on the floor.

Dear lord, I missed my child so much. I should have been the one who died that night and not her.

If I could turn back time, I would rewrite the past. I would let my life be taken instead of Vien. I could die in peace knowing that I was able to save her.

The little girl around four years carefully moved down the bed and she slowly made her way towards my direction and stopped right in front of me.

My tears made my gaze blurred and unclear.?I wiped my tears using my fingers and when my vision cleared, I looked at her.

Her dainty fingers cupped my cheeks.

The more I looked at her the more my sobs intensified. A pair of phoenix blue eyes intently stare at me. Her seraphic face was framed with curly brown hair.

Without a doubt, this little girl….is my little angel, Vien.

The girl opened her lips but no words came out.?She opened it the second time, this time she was able to say something. The first word that came from her mouth was the words. "M-mama."

I pulled her into my arms. Hold her tight as if I will never let go.

It took me four agonizing years to hold her again.?If this was just a dream, I don't want to wake up.

She reciprocated my hug with equal warmth. "Mama… mama… i-its y-youu." She sobbed, her shoulders shaking. She wrapped her arms around me even tighter.

We pour our heart out as we hold each other. When I raise my head, I realize we are not the only ones crying. Claire was crying too.

I didn't know that this day would come that I would be holding my first born into my arms. All these years, I blamed myself for her death. Seeing her now was a miracle and I would be forever thankful for the lord.

"I will never leave you again Vien… I promise you, Mama will stay by your side no matter what.

I lowered my head into her temples and laid a soft kiss on her cheek.
