"Eds!" Sande burst into the office, holding her phone and looking frantic. "Have you seen the news?"

Eds glanced up from her computer, puzzled. "No, what news article?" she asked.

Sande hurried to her desk and thrust her phone in Eds' face. "Look at what Kyle did. Reporters will be swarming here soon, wanting your opinion."

Eds' face went pale as she read the headline, and she felt faint reading the full article. She was stunned by Kyle's blatant attempt to draw attention, dragging his own children into the spotlight. He probably thought it would earn him sympathy from people, not realizing he was harming his children in the process.

    Rhett, Adella, and Eds turned when they heard Sinjin’s voice. His eyes were fixed on Adella with a fierce intensity, making her go pale and causing her mouth to open and close like a fish as she struggled to speak. Sinjin slammed the door behind him and strode towards the desk, placing his hands on it in the same manner Eds had earlier. This time, however, Adella’s eyes widened with fear at the barely restrained fury in her boss’s gaze. The last time Sinjin had been this angry with her was over his mother’s blind date arrangements, but even then, she had never felt fear like this."I asked you a question," Sinjin said through clenched teeth. "Who do you think you're talking to like that?""Um... I'm sorry, sir, I was only..." Adella stammered, swallowing nervously. "I thought she was lying.""Look at my left hand and tell me if you've ever seen me wearing a ring before last year."Adella had noticed the ring when Sinjin returned from his trip this year; it resembled a wedding band, b

    Eds was attending to a client upstairs when she heard a commotion downstairs. Excusing herself, she went to the balustrade to see what was happening. To her surprise, Brendan Santillan was arguing with Sande, who was trying to calm him down as the amused customers looked on.Apologizing to her client, she quickly headed downstairs to intervene before Sande lost her patience and the situation escalated. Eds was well aware of Sande’s hotheaded nature and knew she wouldn’t hesitate to either punch the man or throw him out of the shop, regardless of his age.Eds asked Brendan with a smile, "Mr. Santillan, what brings you here? Let's go to my office and discuss..." Brendan spat venomously, "You!" before raising his hand and slapping her. The customers gasped in shock at his behavior, and even Sande was left speechless, staring at him. Brendan then demanded, "How dare you hit my wife? What gave you the right to hit her?!"Eds stood frozen, her palm against her stinging cheek, staring at B

    A week later The courtroom was a grand, wood-paneled space with high ceilings, dominated by the judge's bench at the front. The Merendran flag and the state flag flanked the bench on either side. The audience seats were packed with onlookers, mostly friends and family of the involved parties.Kyle Neeson sat at the plaintiff's table with his attorney, Mr. Goulding. Opposite them, at the defendant’s table, were Edselyn Santillan, her husband Sinjin, and their attorney, Ms. Rodriguez.The courtroom was silent as everyone awaited Judge Caldwell's arrival. When she finally took her seat and reviewed the case file, she glanced around the room, taking note of the palpable tension in the air.Judge Emily Caldwell, an experienced and stern figure, was a friend of Sinjin's father, but she wasn’t the type to let personal connections influence her judgments. Known for calling a spade a spade, it was this integrity that made Sinjin appreciate her and feel relieved that she was presiding over the

    Edselyn was unusually silent on the drive home. They had been swarmed by reporters outside the courthouse, but he'd let Caralisa handle the situation while Kyle eagerly embraced the media attention, knowing it was a rare opportunity for him, and one he'd never get again.Sinjin, usually confident and unflappable, felt a growing nervousness that he hated as he glanced at Eds who was staring out of the window. This situation was making him sweat, something he wasn’t accustomed to. Unsure of what Edselyn was thinking, he hesitated to ask her anything, waiting for her to speak first.When they arrived home, they exited the car and entered the house in silence. Sinjin followed her upstairs to their bedroom like a lost puppy, unable to shake his unease."Are you really mad at me?" Sinjin asked, breaking the silence.Edselyn removed her shoes and walked barefoot to the walk-in closet, putting them away. She took off her earrings, placed them in a box, and shut it without saying a word."Edse

    Two weeks laterThe tension in the courtroom was palpable, almost tangible enough to be sliced with a knife. Sinjin and his attorney, Caralisa Rodriguez, stood off to the side, deep in discussion, while Eds conversed with Sande as they all awaited Judge Caldwell's entrance. Meanwhile, Kyle appeared calm and composed, confident in his victory. He knew he was the biological father of Troy and Tristan, and there was no way for the Santillans to challenge that fact.When Judge Caldwell entered the courtroom, everyone returned to their seats, and the court clerk announced, "All rise," prompting everyone to stand in respect for the judge. After she took her seat, the courtroom settled down as the proceedings began.This second hearing was even more crucial than the first, as it would decide whether Kyle would be granted joint custody. Although Kyle was confident the judge would rule in his favor based on the previous hearing, he hoped to secure enough visitation time to make it feel as if

    Sinjin had just stepped out of the conference room following a board meeting when his phone vibrated in his jacket pocket. He pulled it out, frowning at the sight of his mother's picture on the screen, his finger hovering over the decline button. It had been weeks since the incident at the shop, yet he still struggled to move past it, despite Eds telling him to. She had assured him it wasn’t a big deal, insisting his mother had just wanted his attention. He'd resisted the urge to scoff at that, knowing his mother, now in her late fifties, was acting more like a frustrated five-year-old who didn’t get her way.She probably assumed he would track her down and confront her for lying about Edselyn, so she had left the country for a week. He had been tempted to do exactly that but decided he wasn’t prepared for the inevitable headache that would come with arguing with her. Besides, it was his father who had slapped his wife, not his mother.He missed the call, but before he could put his

    After completing her nightly routine, Eds gazed at her reflection in the mirror. Her face glowed, not from the expensive body lotions she applied, but from the overwhelming happiness that made her feel like she could burst with joy. She had no idea what the future held, but at that moment, she was glad she'd taken a leap of faith and married Sinjin. He brought joy not only to her but also to the boys, and she prayed that this happiness would last. But if life, fate, or anything else tried to disrupt it, she was prepared to face it head-on. Sinjin had reminded her a few weeks ago that their happiness might not last forever, but when hard times came, they’d have to hold on to the memories of the good times to find their way back to each other.She took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, smoothed her silk robe, and stepped out of the bathroom. Sinjin was in bed, on the phone with someone while his laptop rested on his lap. She crossed the room to the sliding glass door, pulled it open, but

    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,
