Don Anderson walked unannounced into Beverly's room. He found her deep in thoughts.

"Hey!" he tapped her the second time and she jerked abruptly from the chair.

"Oh, uhm..." she looked around and then her gaze fell on her simple dress. Yes, she remembered the Don's mother was coming to pay a visit. "Is..is she here, Don?"

"You don't look alright," he ignored her question "Are you nervous?"

Beverly knew that was not the truth. It has been a month since Mike was taken away to the academy. Asides missing him she was already regretting her actions. Twice she'd been attacked by the Don's lustful men and guards and somehow she had managed to save herself. She had reported this to the Don severally however he waved it off as a joke.

"No-no, not that-" she began but was immediately cut off

"Hey, take a chill pill," the Don was saying, his hands held her arm, caressing it gently "My mother is a wonderful woman. She's just here to pay you a visit since you're pregnant. She would also like to k

    "Mom!" the Don pushed the luggage he was holding to the ground and gritted his teeth "Stop blurting out trash simply because you don't like her""Trash?" she walked up to him "It's the truth.""It's a lie!" he yelled causing her to step back "She. Is. Carrying. My. Child!""Anderson-""I forced myself on her," he cut her off "She isn't in love with me. She never wanted this but after finding out about the child she has finally come to terms with things!""She is a good human and although I was wrong to have done what I did, I do not regret it. I am glad she will be the mother to my heir."With that, he picked up his luggage and banged the door shut behind him. Mrs Anderson shook her head. She wondered how she would get the truth out or rather let it die with her. However, she cursed and swore never to let another man's child enjoy her son's sweat and hard work. At the same time she feared what would happen when the truth finally comes out. Everyone would no longer look at her son the

    "Beverly what is going on?!" Layla, Beverly's mother, asked for the umpteenth time as she watched her pack her few clothes into a small bag."Nothing is going on, mom," she replied, almost out of breath and then continued her packing"What do you mean nothing is going on? First, Mike was taken, second, you've been hiding something from me, third, you had said the Don didn't force himself on you but now you are saying the child is his. I need to understand what is going on!" "Shush mom, keep your voice down!" Beverly rushed to her mother's side."I won't until I understand what is going on!""Mom, the child.." she whispered "Is Diego's.""Oh my God!" Layla exclaimed "Beverly-""The night when the Don tried to..to.." her voice faded "It didn't happen. Mike knocked him off and he didn't remember a thing except that he'd forced himself on me which is not true." Beverly continued "I took advantage of the situation and played along calling my child his so he wouldn't harm it."Beverly sat

    Edward arrived in Italy two days ago. The first thing he did was locate the hotel Diana had once stayed. It was there she was ambushed by an angry mob about a month ago. He set an appointment with the manager of the hotel who thought that fame had found him considering that Edward Collins was paying him a visit. However, it was the exact opposite. Edward threw before him a portfolio that contained all of illegal affairs which he'd dug out within the two days of his arrival.As Mr Martins stared at all of his mischief the only thing he could think of was his wife and three sons back at home, not to mention his concubines on whom he spends most of his money on.

Edward would be there very soon and I'll be there-""Wait, what?!" Ryan thundered "What the hell are you saying?""C'mon! This is not a joke" she chuckled over the phone "I know I've failed you many times but I swore never to do that again.""Stephanie," Ryan clenched his fist "What did you do?""Edward believed my antics. He's coming to you.""You gave him my location?? Have you gone insane?!!" "Ryan..I don't understand. I did what you asked, why are you furious?""I didn't ask you to do that, bitch!

    Jamie returned to the house with Jake and the first thing Mrs Bryan did was take the baby from her arms into hers. She marveled at how cute the little boy looked."Oh my.." she cooed "He looks so much like you, Jake."Jake beamed with smiles, obviously proud of himself. He had his hand around Jamie's waist while the latter stayed quiet. "C'mon in," Mrs Bryan ushered them in as she shut the door "It's pretty late, why did you choose now to bring Jamie and your son home?"Jake hesitated as his mind was filled with scents of Jamie. Although he'd lured her to bed with the hopes of making out with a sizzling romance, Jamie didn't let him. He understood that she didn't completely trust him yet so he didn't force her. He simply cuddled her and watched her fall asleep. He couldn't explain the feeling, it was like he was a high school boy newly in love. He wondered where his feelings for Jamie hid all this time."Nothing actually," he replied after a while and then glanced at Jamie who looked

Jake was straightening his shirt while the policemen held a furious Milton away from him.Mrs Bryan stood in a corner crying her eyes out."Get your hands off me!" Milton yelled and the policemen agreed. He walked to where Jamie stood, he reached for her arms. Kevin giggled on seeing his play buddy, not aware of what was going on."J-jamie, are you okay? I'm so sorry I'd delayed that night. Tell me, did he..did he hurt you?" Jake came from behind and pushed Milton away from Jamie, she gasped."Don't touch my wife,"Milton retaliated by grabbing his collar and sending him to the floor with a punch.

    Jake knocked on Jamie's door after the incident however a voice responded casually,"Get lost," she paused and added "I don't want to see your face."Jake was not fazed by her attitude. He grabbed the spare key from his mother and unlocked the door. He met Jamie sitting at the foot of the bed. Kevin was playing happily in his crib."I said I don't want to see your face," she repeated indifferently as she glared at him. Her hair was slightly scattered over her head and Jake closed the door behind them."When would you stop being furious?" Jake's hands went into his pants pockets "I have apologized for my mistakes, I'm a changed man. Why are you being difficult?""What? You're feeling important simply because I didn't rat you out to the police??" she said with acute disgust "Kevin is the only reason I am still with your sorry ass, you know you don't deserve it!"Jake clenched his fists in his pockets.
