Beyond Her Imagination Chapter Forty Five
Before noon that day, Eds' chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip muffins, red velvet cupcakes, coffee cakes, cheesecakes, apple pies, chocolate-covered donuts, jam donuts, croissants, shortbreads, a one-layered rainbow cake, and plenty of coffee had all been sold. She had a steady stream of customers coming in and out of her shop all day, so she didn't even bother with lunch. Sinjin had set up an easy-to-understand bookkeeping system for her. After the rush hour, she settled down in front of the computer in the staff lounge to check the sales because she couldn't help herself. When she saw how much they'd made that morning, she let out a loud gasp."It can't be," she muttered, staring at the computer screen. Sinjin had installed his company's bookkeeping software on the computers both upstairs and downstairs, so all she needed to do was input the transactions she had made today, and the software would do the rest. To her, it was a supercomputer that calculated taxes, expenses, inco

Emma hoped she had misheard what Sinjin had just said. Was he already married? She didn't want to believe him, but he looked very serious, and her brother wasn't one to bluff."You're kidding," she muttered, choosing to call his bluff. "You didn't marry her."Sinjin lifted his hand to show her his wedding band. Then he retrieved his phone from his pocket, turned it on, and showed her a photo of Eds in a wedding dress, which he had saved as his screensaver."Married her a week before Christmas," he informed her. "In Vegas.""You... That was... That was two months ago," Emma sputtered in shock. "You've been married for that long and you didn't think to inform us?""Just think of it as a punishment for the stunt Mom pulled at the wedding," Sinjin replied, shrugging nonchalantly. "Edselyn wanted Mom and Dad present at our wedding, which was why I agreed to wed in the church, but that didn't work out, so we eloped.""Mom will have a heart attack once she hears this," Emma warned him. "Do y

"Mom, Dad," Tristan called from his spot on the wingback chair in the family room, where they were watching an animated film just after dinner."Yes, son?" Sinjin turned his gaze away from the TV to look at Tristan. Eds had her legs on his lap and her head on a throw pillow, facing Tristan."Troy and I have talked about this, but we want answers from you," Tristan said."Is it something serious?" Eds inquired."Yes, Mom," Troy replied, nodding."What is it?" Sinjin asked."You and Mom are married now, and she has your surname. So what about us?" Tristan questioned, frowning. "Don't you want us to bear your name?"Sinjin and Eds exchanged silent glances, both wondering how they would explain the situation to the boys. It would be hard for them to accept that they would never bear his name unless Kyle gave up his rights over them. Although Sinjin enjoyed tackling problems that others found stressful, he wasn’t sure he could resolve this issue involving Eds' ex-fiancé. Sometimes, there

During dinner, Edselyn was unusually quiet, which Sinjin noticed. He wondered what was bothering her but didn't ask because of the boys. After dinner, he went to his home office to take an important call and didn't return until the boys had gone to bed. Before heading to his bedroom, he checked on them.He couldn't find Edselyn anywhere in the room, so he hurried to the balcony and saw her sitting on the beach without a blanket. He sighed, walked back into the room to grab a blanket, and then left to join her.When he came downstairs, Mrs. Bale asked, "Do you need anything else, sir?""No, thank you, Mrs. Bale," Sinjin replied with a smile."Okay, goodnight, sir," Mrs. Bale said, turning to leave."Actually... I need something," Sinjin blurted out. "A cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows, please.""Of course, sir." Mrs. Bale smiled and walked away.A few minutes later, Eds looked up as a hand extended a cup of hot chocolate to her. She accepted it, smiling at Sinjin. "Thank you." Sh

A week after Valentine's Day, after much contemplation on how to deal with Kyle, Sinjin decided to pay him a visit. He didn't inform Eds of his plan, knowing she would talk him out of it, but he hoped it wouldn't backfire. Sinjin trusted that Kyle was as greedy as his former employer had claimed, which would make everything easier for him.All he wanted was to see the bright smile light up his wife's face once again. She was good at pretending she was fine, but he knew she was worried about their sons, who were just as unhappy as she was. He had tried his best to cheer them up by buying drones, which they loved, but that happiness had lasted only for a short time.Sinjin owned many residential properties in Merendra, and by a twist of fate, Kyle happened to be a tenant in his ten-story apartment building on Greenbriar Avenue. The building, known as The Grandview, had originally been a failing hotel. The owner had approached Sinjin with the intent to sell, and Sinjin had bought it for

Kyle's head snapped up from the check to Sinjin's face upon hearing that. He studied Sinjin's face, looking for signs of a prank, but the stoic expression showed that he was dead serious. To keep this amount of money—money he would never earn in twenty lifetimes—he had to relinquish his rights over his children, over Edselyn. He was sorely tempted, but after what Sinjin had said, he knew he had to refuse."I should do that for one and a half billion dollars?" Kyle asked."Is it too small?" Sinjin inquired, arching a surprised brow. "1.25 billion, then.""Would you do that for money?" Kyle asked him. "Let go of your children and let them be raised by another man?""First of all, I wouldn't find myself in that situation at all," Sinjin replied confidently. "And even if I was dirt poor, I still wouldn't do it.""So, you want me to do it," Kyle muttered, chuckling humorlessly."I'm doing what's best for my sons," Sinjin said."Your sons?" Kyle scoffed in disbelief. "They're mine!""By blo

A week laterKyle leaned against his car, waiting for the school bell to ring, when a silver Mercedes Maybach S-Class with tinted windows pulled up next to him. He silently admired the car, wondering who its owner was. His question was soon answered as Sinjin gracefully exited the vehicle, dressed in a navy blue suit and a black shirt without a tie.Sinjin turned his head, surprised to see Kyle. He removed his sunglasses, hoping he was imagining Kyle's presence, but it was indeed Kyle in the flesh. Sinjin had been keeping tabs on Kyle since last week and knew that Kyle had recently started working at Helix Global, a rival of Sinjin's tech company. This was the first time Sinjin had encountered Kyle at the school since Eds informed him that Kyle had been spying on the boys. Sinjin hoped his interaction with the boys would signal to Kyle that his children did not want him around."What are you doing here?" Sinjin demanded as he approached Kyle."I should ask you the same thing," Kyle r

A Month laterSande poked her head through the office door. "Eds, there's someone here to see you," she informed her. "Should I let him in?""Him?" Eds' brows furrowed in confusion. "If it's Sinjin...""It's not Sinjin," Sande interjected. "His name's Ryan Goulding from Baker-Newman & Associates. He's Kyle's lawyer."Eds stared at Sande, paralyzed in her seat. The only explanation for Kyle hiring a lawyer and sending that very lawyer to meet her was clear. She cleared her throat quietly, stood up on unsteady legs, grabbed her phone from the table, and left the office.In the corner booth, a man in a suit was sipping coffee. Eds approached him slowly, trying to steady herself before reaching him. However, the man glanced up from his phone, noticed her, and stood, buttoning his suit jacket."Mrs. Santillan, my name is Ryan Goulding," he said, extending his hand. "I'm representing your ex, Kyle Neeson."Kyle had decided he was no longer willing to wait for her to properly introduce him t

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,
