Jack noticed Briana's sudden change of mood. She looks like she's going to cry. "Hey, don't cry, babe. Every problem has a solution, and I'm sure we can find our own one day before your pregnancy will be known by anyone," he said reassuringly, trying to make her feel better again.The couple fell silent for a few minutes; both were preoccupied."Aha! I have a brilliant solution!" Briana blurted."What is it? Let me hear about it," Jack eagerly said.Briana took a deep breath. "If our relationship is revealed to everyone and to the public, the reputation of your company will be tarnished, and we can't let that happen.""And what is your solution?" Jack asked.
That evening.The venue of the farewell party was already buzzing with activity; the couple hasn't arrived yet.Scott was patiently waiting near the gate of the house to catch a glimpse of Briana's arrival. Tonight is the last time that he will see her; he might never see her again, considering that she was having an affair with her stepbrother.He was sipping a light drink in his hands a while ago, and the glass was already empty. He signaled for the waiter nearby to bring him another glass. He was not planning to drink much tonight. He must stay sober so that he can say his final goodbye to Briana with a clear mind.He got a few things done to help him have a few hours of alone time with Briana. Jack should be out
Briana didn't eat or drink anything. While Jack had a drink with some of the employees, Scott was noticeably absent from the group.Briana was trying to locate Scott's whereabouts but failed. 'Where is he? Why did he suddenly vanish at his own farewell party?'She whispered into Jack's ears. "Bro, I'll get to the toilet to pee," she said.Jack nodded his head.Briana went in the direction of the toilet.Unknown to them, Scott was locking himself in one of the rooms of the house, drowning in his sorrow.Back on the ground floor of the house.Briana stayed in the bathroom for a few minutes, then afterward, she returned to the table and said, "Bro, I wanna go home," she told Jack.Jack looked at her and saw her blurry face. He said, "Dang! I got drunk too fast! I can't drive," he said."Don't worry, I will be the one to drive," she told him."Okay, let's go home!" Jack said. "Bye, guys! See you on Monday! Don't be ab
The doctor who treated Jack informed Briana that he would remain in the emergency room for 24 hours to monitor his critical condition. By morning, they will know the result of his blood test and other tests that were conducted to determine the extent of his condition."Miss, you need to go home, sleep through the night, and just come back here the following day. Don't worry, nurses and doctors are with Jack 24/7 to make sure that he is safe. You have nothing to worry about. Just go home and have a rest," Doctor Javier said."Okay. Thank you, doc! Please call me right away if something comes up or he finally regains consciousness," Briana responded. "I'm scared and deeply worried about my brother's condition.""Don't worry, we will have nurses on standby to respond right
Briana can't believe that one of the men died in the hospital last night while she was sleeping. She was trembling for a moment, dreading what was going to happen to her beloved Jack.Ronnie passed away last night!It's the heartbreaking message she got from Scott. Now she was getting more worried about Jack's condition.She quickly got off the bed, went to the bathroom, and afterward she fixed a breakfast in the kitchen.After she finished eating, she put her stuff in her shoulder bag and left the building, heading back to the MRZ Medical Hospital in her car.When she arrived there, her heart was filled with extreme fear and worry when Dr. Javier informed her
"Alright, I'll fill you in on all the details based on what the cops had gathered with their investigation," Scott said as he lowered himself beside the grief-stricken Briana. Then he asked her in a low voice. "Are you okay, Bri?"Briana nodded her head and said, "Please tell us more about the suspect."Scott cleared his throat. "The cops found a diary that the suspect had kept in his rented room. He was a guy separated from his wife. He had no children. His wife left him for a rich man. His wife keeps nagging him that he only brings home a small salary every pay day and they can't even buy their own house.The wife refuses to get pregnant because of their financial instability, considering that the husband's salary is enough for two people only. The wife told her husban
Briana's eyes widened in surprise; she couldn't believe his outrageous offer."Why are you looking at me like that? Is it wrong to offer my help? I am single and willing to be your knight in shining armor during your times of need. I don't have a girlfriend either, I'm totally free! I am the perfect candidate to be the baby's proxy father while you sort things out," Scott said with a smile.His outrageous offer made Briana angry. "Jack is still alive! What the hell are you talking about?"Scott sighed. "Calm down. I'm just offering my help. There's no need to be upset about it."Briana breathed deeply. "I'm sorry, I apologized for my behavior," she said, fearing that Scott would no longer offer his help when it came to running the business while Jack was still battling for his life in the emergency room of the hospital."Apology accepted. So, can I report to work tomorrow?" Scott asked."Yes, please!" Briana replied right away.Scott
"Oops. I'm sorry." Scott's smile faded instantly. He scratched his head. "Of course, I feel sad for Sir Jack's situation, but I also want to cheer you up. I don't want to see you looking so sad and miserable. Remember, you have a baby in your belly to take care of too. Sir Jack won't feel happy seeing you feeling miserable right now," he reminded her of her condition.Briana breathed deeply. Due to Jack's condition, she has almost forgotten that she's pregnant."If you want to rest, you can go home as well. Don't worry, I will stay here for Sir Jack," Scott offered.Briana looked at Scott for a long time. "Why are you doing this?""Because I care about your well-being. I can't leave you alone to deal with all these
Meanwhile, at the Erros Building in Brisham City...Jack, George, and Rosita were already waiting for Briana's return. The table in the dining room was laden with delicious foods as a celebration of her much-anticipated return back into the family fold.The trio was in the living room, watching TV and browsing their phones while waiting for Briana's arrival.Half an hour later.Suddenly, Jack's phone rang; the caller was Briana. "Babe, where are you now?""I'm already outside the building. I hope I'm not late," she said breathlessly, exiting her car and rushing to the building."I'm coming down to meet you!" Jack put his phone in the pocket of his jeans and came running to the door. He was gone in the blink of an eye.George and Rosita looked at each other and smiled."They're really meant for each other," Rosita commented casually while nuzzling baby Andrew's tiny feet."Indeed!" George seconded. "I think our sacrifice is worth it."Rosita smiled. "I think so."Downstairs, Jack and Br
The day that Briana was scheduled to leave the farm finally arrived. Scott's house was enveloped in a gloomy atmosphere.Briana spent the rest of her morning bonding with her beloved twins.Meanwhile, Scott spent his time brooding in his room, waiting for the inevitable. His heart was gradually dying inside as the seconds passed. He was so used to Briana's lovely presence in his life that it would be hard to see her gone, leaving him alone to deal with the heartbreaks, loneliness, and difficulty of raising their twins as a single parent.He wished that this day would never come, but it's finally happening before his very eyes.It was already lunchtime when the maid knocked outside the door. "Sir, lunch is ready!""OK." He replied in a bland voice.The maid went to Briana's room and announced the same, then went back downstairs to resume her work in the kitchen.A few minutes later, both Scott and Briana exited their rooms at the same time.Their eyes met.Briana sighed heavily upon no
Three days later.It was a hot Saturday afternoon.The farm was busy with activity. People were decorating the ground floor and placing the rented tables and chairs on the lawn of the house for the twins christening the next day.Scott was supervising the whole event along with the party planner that he had hired for the special occasion.Meanwhile...Briana, the twins, and their nannies were relaxing on the second floor of the house."Madam, I'll go down and get your snack from the kitchen," Marina offered."OK." Briana nodded her head.Briana studied Nanny Dorothy's features closely. She, like this particular woman, is so mature beyond her age. Dorothy is the oldest of 12 siblings and works on the farm as a nanny to help support her poor family.'She could be good wife material for Scott!' Her inner self spoke.And she wholeheartedly agreed.She bonded with the two nannies well, treating them with kindness and respect and cultivating their trust and friendship before leaving the far
It was already 3:00 a.m. in the morning.Scott was gazing lovingly at his adorable twins, Josh and Jolie, the names that he and Briana have chosen for their children. He planted a kiss on their cheeks. "I love you, babies!" Tears of happiness sprang from his eyes.He glanced at their mother, still sleeping on the bed. He may never get Briana as his wife, but she gifted him two beautiful children that will forever seal their fate together. They will always be a family, come what may. Their bond will be much stronger now that they both have children together.After some time, Scott realized that Briana must have been super hungry after she woke up from her slumber. He pushed the button on the intercom and ordered a light meal for the mother of his children. Then he continued gazing at his adorable babies.Fifteen minutes later, Briana finally woke up from her sleep. She looked around the room and saw Scott gazing at their twins in their newborn crib on the table next to the bed. "Scott,
The months passed quickly.Despite their difficult situation, Briana and Jack maintained solid communication with each other to make sure that they were really going back together no matter what the odds.One week before Briana was scheduled to give birth, she and Scott hired two single village women in their late 20s to become the twins nannies.Marina is 26 years old, while Dorothy is 27 years old; both are good-looking ladies."Girls, you can start working the day I finally give birth to my twins. We will inform you on that day," Briana told the women. "Are you excited to work here?" she asked.The two women smiled and nodded their heads. "Yes, Madam!""Good! That's all for now. You may go home now," Briana said, feeling relieved that she found two great women who she believed were fit to be the nannies to her twins. The first time she laid eyes on the women, she knew by intuition that they were good and gentle women who were capable of taking good care of her twins. Based on her in
Scott finally arrived at the farm before 6:00 in the evening."Sir, Ma'am Briana's boyfriend, named Jack, had come here a few hours ago." The guard informed his employer after opening the iron gate.Scott's eyes widened in shock. "Huh? Briana's boyfriend?" He roamed around the area, looking for his former boss. "Where is he?""He already left." The guard replied, scratching his head.Scott's heart beat so fast in his rib cage. "Did Briana come with him?" He asked apprehensively.The guard shook his head. "No. Ma'am Briana went back to the house while her boyfriend left in his car, going back to where he came from.""OK. Good!" Scott's face brightened up like a flashlight as huge relief washed over him. For a split second, he was afraid that Briana would leave the farm and go with Jack back to the city. He was glad and grateful that she stayed true to her words that she would deliver the baby before going home.He walked in a big strid
That afternoon, Scott went to the next town to buy farm supplies. Briana decided not to tell him about Jack's coming to the farm to avoid a confrontation between the two men. It's something that she can't afford to happen. She wanted to talk to Jack alone without Scott hovering around them like a phantom in the opera. A moment of peace with Jack is all she ever needs. Scott noticed that Briana was looking tense again. Worried about her state of mind, he asked, "Are you okay?" "Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Just go now," she replied with a smile to reinforce her statement that she was fine. "If you are not feeling well, I will just stay with you today and buy supplies tomorrow. Or you can come with me if you want," he offered. "Nah, you go ahead. I'm fine," she insisted. "Alright, I'll go now. Do you want anything? I can buy it for you in the store," he said. Briana shook her head. "I already have everything I need. You may go now." "OK. Take care of yourself, Bri! Call
Scott noticed that it took Briana so long to inform him about the result. Fifteen agonizing minutes had already passed.A growing suspicion tugged at his mind. If it were negative, she would be here by now, wearing a relieved expression on her face, informing him that it was negative.Unless...Unless the result is positive! She is pregnant with their child! That is why it took her so long to come out of the bathroom after conducting the test.He pressed his head on the door and listened for sounds inside the room; he heard faint sobbing!Is Briana crying? But why?His heart starts racing so fast! It only
One month later.Briana was sitting on the balcony, enjoying the morning sunshine after eating her breakfast. Scott went to the next town to buy some supplies for the farm, and she had chosen to remain in the house instead of going out with him.She unlocked her phone and sent a message to her father. 'Good morning, Dad!'A few minutes later, George entered the chat. 'Morning, daughter!''Is everything okay there? My son is okay?''Yes, everything is okay here, but there are some problems with Jack and Charlotte...'Briana's interest was piqued. 'What do you mean?'
