(NEXT MORNING: CLARK MANSION)
Ace Clark’s mouth dropped slightly when he stepped into his mom’s room. “Mom what's wrong this time?” He asked his mom who was lying on the bed as she just finished receiving treatment. “I received a call from Mr Steve yesternight but I couldn't make it down here because I had to a see through some business files that needed immediate attention. I didn’t know it’s this serious, Doctor is she okay?” He asked.
“Mrs Clark is fine, she is suffering from mild shock.” The doctor smiled at Ace, and just that gesture gave him the assurance that his mom was truly fine.
Ace forehead creased. “Shock? Shock of what?” He a

The time was 9:45 p.m, and she wasn't expecting anyone to be here at this time of the night. Ivy unlocked the door when she peered through the gap and saw that it was Arthur Young. She was surprised to find him there because she did not remember giving him a time to visit her. He has never been to her home.Ivy opened the door for him to come in. “Arthur, how did -“Arthur Young cuts her off. “Surprised to see me? Well I have always known this place.

A SON FOR A BILLIONAIRE(A night with the stranger)EPISODE THIRTY EIGHTTheme: Social Media Reactions(IVY RIVERA’S APARTMENT)Ivy closed the door and then went in search for her cellphone before turning on the TV. She found out every station was talking about Ace and Leroy. Her knees grew weak as she began to wonder how they got to know of this so fast and who had taken these pictures? Or did Ace plan all these just to let them know he has a son? Ivy mused deeply.“Is everything okay? I heard you screaming out your lungs from the bedroom.” Emily requested as she walked down the stairs.“Arthur was here.” Ivy replied.“What’s wrong?” Emily's eyes fell on the TV, her eyes scanned through the headlines as Ivy kept clicking back and front on t

Please take a seat.” Ace gestured to the chair facing him directly.Camilla eyed the chair before turning her gaze back at him. “I am not here for

Ivy was going back and forth from her bedroom to her son’s room trying to put their things together for the urgent vacation. The door bell jangled for the fourth time which she had ignored earlier knowing it might be someone from one of the media houses in the state.“Oh Lord...not this time.” Ivy grumbled as she looked at Emily.“Do you want me to get it? I can deal with those reporters if you let me do it.” Emily said with a shrug.“No just let it be...I don’t need to show myself to anyone.” Ivy replied.&l
A SON FOR A BILLIONAIRE(A night with the stranger)EPISODE FORTY ONETheme: An Arranged MarriageANDERSON’S MANSIONMr Anderson heaved a sigh of frustration. “Camilla listen..I don’t want you to feel bothered about anything. But I think it’s best you find out the truth now.” He muttered.Camilla furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. “What truth?” She demanded.“We are in a huge debt and the company is close to going bankrupt.” Mr Anderson answered.Camilla eyes widened in shock and her mouth dropped immediately.

A SON FOR A BILLIONAIRE(A night with the stranger)EPISODE FORTY TWOTheme: A relationship? Close friends.ANDERSON’S MANSIONCamilla didn’t know where to go as she drove out of the garage. She pulled up by the road side and did what was expected. She cried thinking that Ace was right when he had said that she was so insensitive to things happening around her. How could she not know about the company’s situation? Her parents had been struggling to keep up and she didn’t have the slightest idea of what they were going through.After several minutes of crying inside her car, Camilla decided to see just one person. Someone she trusted enough to listen to her. At least that one person has always been willing to listen to her but she has n
A SON FOR A BILLIONAIRE(A night with the stranger)EPISODE FORTY THREETheme: Mr Clark’s visitationMr Clark expected Ivy to let him in but when no offer came in, he said. “It is not good to keep an old man waiting on the porch.”Ivy eyed the aged man suspiciously. What if he was trying to trick her into letting him in so he could have easy access to take her son in? She pondered. But all of a sudden, fierce protectiveness welled up within her. Ivy would never let anyone take away her son. She would fight with everything to make sure that no one dares try to separate her from her son. And if this aged man was here for that reason then she wouldn’t hesitate to pick up a tennis bat and fight them all.
FINAL EPISODE SEVENTY EPILOGUE LOS ANGELES TWO YEARS LATER Ivy woke up to a hand stroking her face only to see the cute face close to her. Ivy blinked several time to clear her vision. Her two years old baby girl was staring right back at her. “Mama...” Beverly clapped her hands together. Ivy sat up to carry her daughter. “Baby, where is daddy?” She asked. “I am right here.” Ace answered. And when Ivy looked up, she saw her husband standing with a big cake in his hands while Leroy had a party pumper in his hand too. “Happy birthday!” The party pumper was puffed into the air and Beverly giggled at the sound.

EPISODE SIXTY SIXTHEME: Dropping all chargesLOS ANGELESAce couldn’t stand knowing that this incident might really ruin his family completely. Leroy was too young to go through all of these things and he doesn’t deserve to be in this situation.“And that’s why we are here. I waited for so long to see this day. Many years ago, you didn’t want to see me but here you are to save your son.” Jenny let out a short devious giggled.“Jenny, I am sorry for everything you have been through. I am so sorry.

EPISODE SIXTY FOURTHEME: His PastLOS ANGELESAce Clark pulled the car to a stop and he got out of it. He rolled up his sleeves and started towards the uncompleted building. Ace switched on the flashlight of his cellphone to see properly. Soon the cellphone pinged and he picked it immediately.“I can see you from where I am.” The abductor said.Ace scanned the dark area but he couldn’t make out any figure.“You came with the police.” The abductorblurted trying to find out if the cops were truly around.“No..no..I didn’t tell the cops about you.

Her mind was going in circles. She was paranoid. What if there had been an accident on their way back home? Have they been rushed to the hospital? Is my son still alive? She pondered deeply.“I tried calling the driver but it got picked by someone else. I think..Leroy has been abducted by some unkno
