While the kids were playing at the park with their grandfather, Amy and Zack moved to a quiet part of the park to have a serious conversation. The cold breeze brushed against them, but it couldn't compare to the chill of the tension hanging in the air.

“Why, Amy? Why did you hide from me that we have kids?” Zack’s voice was calm but heavy with sorrow, his eyes piercing through her, glistening with unshed tears.

Amy swallowed hard, searching for the right words. “Zack, I didn’t do it to hurt you. I thought... I thought it was best for everyone.” She bit her lip, unable to meet Zack’s intense gaze. “When you left me, I had nothing to hold on to but the safety of our kids. I couldn’t risk them getting pulled into your world, your business.”

“You mean to say you hid them because you thought my world was dangerous for them?” Zack asked, his voice rising slightly in frustration.

Amy couldn’t answer. She knew Zack was right, but she had to stand her ground. “It’s not just about that, Zack. Y

    "Sir, here are the documents you need," Amy said to Zack, who was busy reviewing the papers in front of him. As soon as Amy stepped out of the office, she ran into Lily. Lily stopped in front of her, blocking her path. "You think you’ll get back together with Zack?" Lily asked with a raised eyebrow. "I never said that, ma'am," Amy replied, trying her best to keep her composure. "Yeah, right. He's mine, bitch. I'm his childhood friend and best friend. From the beginning, he’s been mine," Lily snapped back. Amy could no longer hold back and retorted, "Then take him." This led Lily to slap her. At that moment, Zack stepped out of his office and witnessed the scene. "Lily!" Zack's loud voice startled both women. Amy turned and saw Zack rushing toward her. "Are you okay, Amy?" Zack asked with concern. "Yes," Amy replied quickly. Zack was about to reach for her hand, but she pulled away, not wanting to ruin his relationship with someone else.

Zack knelt down to talk to the little girl."Hi there, princess," he said with a smile, his happiness evident even in his eyes."Are you my mommy's boss?" she asked innocently."Yes, and you're Aliah, right?" Zack replied, and Aliah nodded."Yes, I’m Aliah Summer Delgado," she said confidently.Zack glanced at Amy, stunned to realize that the children carried his last name."Really?" he said, his voice trembling as if on the verge of tears, which made Aliah curious."Are you crying?" she asked Zack."I'm fine," Zack replied, while the other child, Josh, stared at him quietly."You’re our daddy, right?" Josh suddenly asked, shocking Amy."Josh, what are you talking about?" Amy said, trying to stop him, but Josh looked at her seriously.

    Zack, stunned by what Josh had just said, stood frozen. He stared at the child, his eyes full of unspoken emotions. “I… I didn’t know you knew,” Zack said softly, his voice heavy with emotion.“I don’t care what happened before,” Josh added, his tone quiet and devoid of much emotion. “I just want us to be okay as a family.”Zack remained silent, unsure of how to respond to Josh’s words. Amy’s eyes, filled with deep concern yet a hint of relief, observed the situation closely. She knew Aliah wasn’t ready to hear about this yet, and she didn’t want to rush it.“Amy,” Zack said as he turned to her. “Can we talk for a moment?”Even though Josh already knew, Amy didn’t want to pressure Aliah. She might not be ready to handle the truth about a father she had never known. But Josh’s simple words seemed to open a door for new possibilities. Still, she knew some things needed time.“Let’s talk later,” Amy replied, unable to hide the weight on her heart. “Aliah might not be ready yet. I don’t w

    “Daddy, can we visit you tomorrow?” Aliah asked Zack. The man glanced at Amy, and she couldn’t do anything about it since she knew the kids would keep pestering her if she refused.“But…” Amy started.“But you need to behave,” she said to the kids. The two nodded in agreement. For Amy, Josh wasn’t much of a problem since he was quiet. Aliah, however, was a different story because of how mischievous she could be.“But Mommy, that’s so boring,” Aliah whined, making Amy raise an eyebrow.“Aliah, are you going to listen to Mommy or not?” she asked sternly, prompting the child to cling to her father. Zack chuckled when he noticed Amy’s nostrils flare in irritation.“Yes, Mommy. Sorry. I’ll behave,” Aliah answered apologetically.
