Beyond Her Imagination Chapter Eighty Two
“We need to get out so Williams can park the car. We’re holding up the line,” Edselyn said.“I can’t believe I let you talk me into coming here,” Sinjin muttered with a frown. “I have a bad feeling about this.”“Are you worried about me?” Eds asked with a smile. “That’s so sweet of you.”“Well, you and... me,” Sinjin admitted. “I just can’t shake it.”“Nothing will happen to us. This is your house, and there are security guards everywhere. It’s not like we’re going to meet the president or something,” Eds chuckled softly. “We’ll be fine.”“My mother put you up to this, didn’t she?” Sinjin grumbled. “Let me guess... she apologized and played the ‘nice woman’ card, right?”“She didn’t have to. She’s your mother, and it would look strange if you didn’t show up. People might think it’s because of what happened to me at your father’s party,” Eds reasoned. “If you don’t want to stay long, one hour is enough. Your mom even said so.”“I don’t trust her,” Sinjin muttered as he opened the door,

Sinjin hoped it was just his muddled mind causing him to misinterpret what Eds had said. She wanted to end things? Their marriage? Or was she talking about the unspoken attraction they'd both been pretending not to act on?"What do you mean by 'end this'?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper."You know exactly what I mean. I'm talking about our marriage. It’s fake, isn’t it?" she replied, her tone casual as she shrugged. "I married you for my boys, and you married me to keep your mother off your back. It worked, but I’m done now. I want out."Sinjin’s legs gave way, and he sank onto the edge of the bed, stunned. She wanted out of the marriage—she wanted a divorce. This was out of nowhere. Just yesterday, they’d been joking, and she’d teased him about his baby pictures. What could have changed in the last twenty-four hours for her to want to end everything so suddenly?"Why?" His voice sounded unfamiliar to him, shaky. "I need to understand. If something happened…""For God's s

Sinjin sat in the board meeting, his mind distracted by the whirlwind of thoughts racing through his head. It had been two weeks since he'd last seen his wife and sons, two weeks since he'd managed more than an hour of sleep. Two weeks spent trying and failing to recall what had happened at his mother's party.Eds had asked for a break, and he was trying to respect her need for space, but it didn't stop him from attempting—and failing—to call her, just to hear her voice, or texting her, hoping for a response. The old saying that you never truly appreciate what you have until it's gone felt painfully real. She'd always been there, but he'd taken her for granted, relying on her promise from last year that no matter how much he upset her, she'd always forgive him. He knew he'd done something wrong, something to push her away, but he couldn’t figure out exactly what—and it was driving him to the brink of madness.Asking his mother for answers wasn’t an option. He was terrified of what sh

Two days later Sinjin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in his office, engaged in a heated conversation with the Editor-in-Chief of a news agency that had recently published a slanderous article about Eds. A knock at the door interrupted him, and he turned, expecting Gary, his temporary secretary. Instead, it was Mallucia, holding a bag of Chinese food.The online hate against Eds had only worsened, and Rhett had informed Sinjin of a decline in customers at her shop because of it. The thought of her suffering due to his actions pained him, and he knew the only way to help was to prevent any further posts from being published."If you don’t want your agency to go bankrupt, I suggest you discipline your staff," Sinjin warned the editor before abruptly ending the call. Then he turned to Mallucia, raising an eyebrow. "What are you doing here?""I thought we could have lunch," she replied, holding up the bag. "I remember you like Chinese.""Where’s Gary?" Sinjin asked with a

Sinjin picked up the receiver as the phone rang and put it to his ear. "Yes, Alicia?" he answered."Um, Miss Archer is here to see you, sir. Should I send her up?" Alicia inquired."Yes, please. Thank you," Sinjin replied."Very well, sir." Alicia said before ending the call.Sinjin set the receiver back on the cradle and leaned back in his chair with a sigh. He was frustrated with the incompetence of his employees, feeling they were more concerned with collecting their undeserved salaries and incentives than doing their jobs properly. He wondered if it was too much to expect even one employee out of three thousand to meet his standards, especially compared to Adella.A few moments later, there was a knock at the door. He called for Sande to enter. The door opened, and she walked in, dressed in black jeans, a white tank top, and a black denim jacket. Her short hair rested on the collar of her jacket."Hey, short stuff," he greeted with a smile, standing up and walking around the desk

Sinjin and Sande hurried into the hospital and went straight to the reception desk. Sinjin asked the nurse about Troy, and they were directed to the children's emergency ward. As they reached the male children's ward, Sinjin halted abruptly before opening the sliding door upon seeing Eds hugging Kyle, crying into his shoulder. Confused, Sande watched as Sinjin stepped back from the door. She peered through the glass panel into the room, gasped softly, and then turned back to look at Sinjin."You should go in there and comfort her yourself," Sande urged. "You're her husband.""Apparently not," Sinjin muttered. "She has a shoulder to cry on. She called him because she wanted him here, not me. I have work to do.""Sinjin!" Sande hissed as he walked away. Torn between following him to talk him into going inside and checking on Troy, she decided to go inside. She opened the door and stepped into the room, shutting it behind her.Eds pulled away from Kyle when she saw Sande, her cheeks flu

Rhett assisted Sinjin up the stairs to his bedroom, with Mallucia following behind. Once they reached the room, Rhett opened the door and ushered Sinjin inside, while Mallucia shut the door behind them. Rhett guided Sinjin to the bed and helped him sit down."Thank you, Rhett. I’ll take it from here," Mallucia said."I’ll call Mrs. Bale..." Rhett began, but Mallucia cut him off."I can take care of him," she insisted firmly.Rhett nodded in acknowledgment and left the room, considering calling Eds to inform her about Sinjin but deciding against it, knowing his boss wouldn’t appreciate it. He descended the stairs and ran into Mrs. Bale."Was that the boss you brought in?" she asked."Yes," Rhett replied."I should see to his care," Mrs. Bale said, brushing past Rhett to head upstairs."Miss Goldstein insisted on taking care of him," Rhett said, placing a restraining hand on her arm."Why would she do that? She’s not his wife," Mrs. Bale said, frowning."Let’s just leave her to it," Rhe

"Hey, Edselyn." Sinjin sighed as he left a message on her voicemail. "I don't know what to say except that I'm very sorry. I'll understand if you don't want to see me anymore, but please don't take the boys away from me too. Please."A knock came at the door, and Sande entered his office, placing some documents on his desk. She noticed the sorrowful look on his face."You okay, boss?" she asked.Sinjin rubbed his eyes to keep the tears at bay. He knew Sande would be furious if she knew what he'd done, that she’d hate him for hurting Eds and never forgive him."Sinjin?" Sande asked again, her voice filled with concern.Sinjin opened his mouth to explain, but thought better of it and closed it again. "I'm fine," he lied, offering a smile. "I just had a terrible night, that's all.""Eds told me she was going to meet you. Did you two talk?" Sande asked curiously."I didn’t see her," Sinjin replied, feeling guilty for the lie. "Maybe later."Sande's brows furrowed. "Okay," she said, shruggi

Two weeks later Sinjin stepped out of his car and shut the door, glancing at his father's house with a shake of his head before rounding the vehicle and making his way inside. The butler, Fred, had passed away months ago, and they hadn’t bothered to hire a replacement.Kyle had died in a car accident while fleeing from the police, and Lucas was arrested at the airport just as he was about to escape the country. Taron, his boss, along with the entire gang, had been sent to prison. Mallucia had found a wealthy French man to latch onto, and Sinjin ensured that Adella paid for hurting Eds by exiling her to Africa.He and Eds named their boys Emilio and Emeliano, and their daughters Annabelle and Phoebe.Striding down the hallway, he opened the door to the living room and stepped inside, shutting it behind him. His parents and sister were seated, watching his press conference, and he was relieved to find them all together.“Sinjin!” Camilla gasped, rising to her feet. “Oh, my baby!” She

Sande blinked once, twice, and then a third time, staring at Sinjin in disbelief. The man in front of her had blue eyes and dark hair, resembling her best friend's husband, yet Sande was uncertain if she was hallucinating."Dad?" the boys chorused, shock evident on their faces. An audience had gathered, all equally astonished at the sight of a supposedly dead man alive."Hi, boys. Missed me?" Sinjin grinned."Dad!" they exclaimed, rushing to hug him before Sande could intervene. They burst into tears as he enveloped them in his arms.Onlookers recorded the miraculous scene, still struggling to comprehend what they were witnessing. Sande approached Sinjin, stopping a few feet away. She noticed the faded bruises on his face and a small scar near his hairline that hadn't been there months ago."You're Sinjin Santillan?" she asked, needing confirmation."Hey, short stuff. You look good," he replied. "Married life suits you.""What's my middle name?" she pressed."Phoebe," Sinjin answered

Two weeks later Eds was sitting in the family room, watching TV with her boys, when Mrs. Bale entered to announce Camilla's arrival. She quickly instructed the boys to go upstairs, and they hurried off just as Camilla walked in with Emma by her side.Eds knew they were angry at her for refusing to attend Sinjin’s funeral, but she didn’t care. What bothered her more was the smug smile plastered on Emma’s face, leaving her uneasy as to why Emma looked so pleased."Hello," Eds greeted awkwardly. "Please, have a seat. Can I get you anything?""There’s no need for that," Camilla said coldly. "I’m here to take possession of my son’s house. I want you and your boys out of here in the next two hours."Eds stared at her in shock. "Excuse me? What right do you think you have to do that? This is my husband’s house, and you can’t just throw us out.""You insolent brat," Camilla hissed. "Your husband? Did you ever love my son, or were you just pretending all along?""I don’t need to prove my love

"Mrs. Santillan, are you alright?" Dr. Carmichael inquired, her brows knitting together with concern as Eds stared back at her, silent and unmoving."I can't be pregnant," Eds blurted out suddenly, her voice tinged with panic. "I can't be pregnant."Dr. Carmichael hesitated. "I thought... it might be good news for you, considering... after your husband's passing."Eds’ eyes narrowed. "If you were in my shoes, would you be happy?""Maybe... just a little," Dr. Carmichael admitted softly. "A part of me would find comfort, knowing his baby was growing inside me. Whether boy or girl, I’d have something of him to hold onto." She paused, her voice turning solemn. "I understand, Mrs. Santillan. I lost my husband and unborn daughter on the same day. There were moments I didn’t want to go on."Eds looked at her with surprise. "How did you manage?""With the help of my friends and family, I found my way back. I returned to being a doctor, and though the pain never fully goes away, it gets bett

Kyle's eyes widened when he checked the intercom and saw Simon standing alone at the door. His heart sank slightly, as the boys weren't with him. He hurriedly unlocked the door and stepped into the hallway."Where are the boys?" Kyle demanded, his voice edged with irritation. "It's my turn to have them."Simon stood firm, holding up an envelope. "The boys are sick. Mrs. Santillan sent me to give you this."Kyle snatched the envelope, ripping it open. His brow furrowed as he unfolded the paper—a court-issued restraining order. His blood boiled."What the hell is this?!" Kyle spat, thrusting the paper toward Simon. "She can’t stop me from seeing my sons!"At that moment, the elevator doors slid open, revealing Sinjin. He strolled toward them, catching the tail end of Kyle’s outburst."Maybe she can’t stop you," Sinjin remarked coolly, bending to pick up the discarded paper. "But the court can. And it just did."Kyle's face reddened, his fists clenched. "You bastard! This was your plan a

Tristan unbuttoned his shirt and slid it off his shoulders, his eyes dropping when he noticed the horrified expression on Eds' face. To his surprise, instead of recoiling, she grabbed his hand, pulling him to his feet and dragging both him and his brother out of the room."Sinjin!" Eds called urgently as she hurried down the stairs. "Sinjin!"Sinjin emerged from his home office, his curiosity piqued by the alarm in Eds' voice. His eyes widened in shock as he noticed the bruises marking the boys' bodies, who were beside her, trailing closely."What on earth... How did this happen?" Sinjin crouched down, his voice filled with concern. "Who did this to you?" he asked the boys."No one," they replied in unison."That's all they keep telling me," Eds said, frustration lacing her words. "I called Kyle, and he said Troy was being bullied at school, but I didn’t believe him. Then I told Tristan to take off his shirt, and look! Their bruises are identical." She gestured at the boys as she expl

Over the following weeks, Kyle made every effort to get the boys to call him "dad," but they stubbornly stuck to using his name, which frustrated him. His attempt to eliminate Sinjin had failed, and each time he passed by Eds' shop, he was irritated by the sight of her laughing with Sinjin.What truly set him off was seeing them dancing and singing together in her shop, with customers cheering them on and recording the moment to post online. The video quickly went viral, amassing ten million views in just 24 hours.It was the same video that Troy and Tristan were watching on their phones, the volume loud and disruptive, while Kyle tried to concentrate on work. It grated on his nerves."Turn it off," he demanded."What?" Tristan asked, confused."I said, turn the damn thing off!" Kyle snapped."We're watching it," Troy responded, his tone defiant.Kyle shot up from his seat at the kitchen counter, marched over to the boys in the living room, and ripped the phones from their hands, hurl

A week later Kyle walked into Haven's Brew and Bakery during his lunch break and was pleased to find it empty. He had noticed that the busiest times were in the morning and occasionally when school let out, so he made it a point to come during lunch when Eds was usually free.He spotted Madison behind the display case, placing a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies and muffins, and greeted her with a smile."Hi," he said."Hi, Kyle," Madison replied. "Here to see the boss?""Yeah. Is she in?" Kyle asked.Just then, a squeal from Eds' office caught his attention. He was about to rush behind the counter to check what was wrong when Eds burst out of the office, laughing and trying to evade someone."No, stop!" she called out, still laughing.Kyle was puzzled about who she was with, but his confusion turned to shock when he saw Sinjin approaching with his hands raised in a peace gesture. Kyle couldn't believe his eyes—a blind man walking as if he could see."Santillan?" Kyle called out,
