Beyond Her Imagination Chapter Twenty One
Sinjin, sitting smack dab in the middle of the upscale restaurant with several other people, felt awkward. His mother had reserved a private room for him and Brittany, but he had requested a table where they could be seen by others, a decision he now regretted.Just as he was beginning to wonder if Brittany would make an appearance or not, he wanted to make his escape. He could lie and come up with a very convincing excuse for bailing on his date to his mother, but he knew she'd just reschedule the date and he'd have to go through this again. As he looked up, he saw her being escorted to their table by the hostess, prompting him to stand up. Brittany apologized for keeping him waiting due to traffic."It's fine," he replied, forcing a smile as he pulled out her chair, gestured for her to sit, and then pushed it closer to the table before retaking his seat. "I just arrived five minutes ago.""You look very handsome," she remarked. "But then, you've always been very handsome.""Thank yo
Beyond Her Imagination Chapter Twenty Two
Sinjin woke up disoriented, feeling like hell with his head aching and his arm burdened as though an elephant sat upon it. Gradually, he realized he was in the hospital as memories of the previous night flashed through his mind like scenes from a film: dinner with Brittany, her unhinged ex arriving, going berserk, and shooting him."Fuck," he muttered."Sinjin?" called his mother's anxious voice from somewhere in the room. In an instant, she appeared beside him and smiled with relief upon seeing him awake. "Oh, thank goodness. You're awake."Sinjin stared at his mother for a long time without saying anything, making her uncomfortable. She was happy he was awake despite knowing it was her fault he was in the hospital. Was she serious? Sometimes, he resented his mother for who she was and how she treated him, but there were moments when he loved her despite her flaws. This wasn't one of those moments."Are you okay, darling?" she asked."Do I look okay to you?" he snapped.Camilla flin

Sinjin stared impatiently out of the tinted window of his car, at the front door of the Aria Falls Police Department, wondering what was holding up Williams, whom he had sent to have Mark Reynolds released. Just as he decided to go in and take care of the matter himself, the door opened and Williams stepped out with Mark, who had a scowl on his face. He watched as they descended the steps and headed towards the car, but Mark hesitated, turning to say something to Williams.He pressed a button on his side of the door, and the window rolled down automatically. The car had been running for a few minutes, and it was making him irritable. His parents would flip if they knew he had gotten Mark released, but he didn't care about their opinions. All he knew was that he didn't have the time or energy to attend Mark's trial. Besides, Mark had helped him out of a situation that could have been sticky if things had gone differently that night."Get in, Mark," he ordered. "I don't have all day."

"Sir, we've found him," a gruff voice announced from the doorway."Really?" Camilla perked up, turning in her seat to stare at the bodyguard. "Where is he?""He's currently residing at Meadowbrook Apartments," the bodyguard responded."Thank you, Matthews," Brendan said, waving the bodyguard away."Why is Sinjin doing this to me?" Camilla lamented. "I don't understand.""He's still upset with you, Cam," Brendan assured her. "He'll come around. But for the meantime, let's be glad he's actually resting.""Are you sure?" She arched her brow. "He's been working his ass off for years without going on a vacation. It's like he has something to prove." Her brows furrowed in thought. "But it's not like he'll listen to me if I tell him to stop working so hard.""It's been a week," Emma muttered. "Isn't that enough time for him to get over his ire? Sometimes, he acts like a woman on her period." She huffed."You will show him some respect," Camilla admonished her. "He's your older brother.""Wel

Sinjin stroked his jaw and stared at his parents in silence for a few minutes. Letting out a sigh, he rose to his feet, chuckled darkly under his breath, and went upstairs to take a shower. After brushing his teeth, shaving, and dressing, he returned to the living room to find his parents and sister still seated."I'm heading out," he said. "I'll see you out.""Where are you going?" Camilla demanded. "You're just going to leave us hanging? What do you have to say for yourself?""Hanging?" he feigned ignorance. "I didn't know we were talking.""We want to know why you did what you did," she snapped. "You've been keeping secrets from us, Sin.""I don't have to give you an answer when you've already concluded that I did what I did," he said. "There's nothing left to say.""That man shot you. We saw the video on the internet, Sin. Brittany saved your life," Camilla reminded him. "You're just going to pretend that she didn't?""I sent her flowers. Are you happy?" he snapped. "Oh, you know w

A month laterSinjin growled, staring down at his phone screen. "You've got to be fucking kidding me." His dear, overbearing mother had resumed her habit of making a list of eligible females for him, but this time, she bypassed Adella and sent the list directly to his phone.She had even added the president's daughter to the top of her wishlist. The previous list had twenty women, but this one had thirty. Surprisingly, it included two Italian women, one Japanese woman, and one Chinese woman."Sir?" one of the board members spoke up.Sinjin looked up at the faces of the people in the conference room. He blinked, realizing he had spoken his thoughts aloud. They were all staring at him, waiting for him to say something."What?" he asked, stowing his phone."Barnes was just telling you about the prototype for the new safe that's being manufactured. You don't like the design?" Willard Schneider inquired."It's fine," Sinjin replied, looking down at the blueprint in front of him. "Are you a

Sinjin took Eds to a fancy beachfront seafood restaurant and reserved the most private room available. It was amusing to think that he had wanted to be in view of other people when he was with Brittany, yet now he preferred to be alone with Eds. He ordered marinated crab meat salad, and Eds had the same, accompanied by red wine.They ate in silence, which was quite unusual for them since they always had something to say. Both were aware of the awkwardness but had no idea how to break it."I recently acquired an airline," Sinjin said. "Seafare Airlines.""Really?" Eds was surprised. "I heard the company was struggling, and the CEO was on the verge of declaring bankruptcy.""I've always wanted to go into aviation," he said. "I was happy when Castillo approached me with the offer. I paid him twice what he was asking for.""Will you change the name? You won't lay off the employees, right?" she asked, looking worried."No, I won't change the name either," he assured her. "The company will

Sinjin pulled to a stop in front of the apartment building, turned off the ignition, and looked at Eds. He still couldn't believe she had agreed to marry him. Although he wanted to kiss her, he resisted the urge to do that. He had to remember that he had assured her there was no need for an intimate relationship in their marriage, so kissing her was not an option.He was glad he hadn't married Mallucia, because he wouldn't have met Eds and her sons. Mallucia would definitely have continued seeing Lucas behind his back, and the divorce would have been nasty."I'll pick you up tomorrow so we can go shopping for your ring," he said. "What time should I get here?""Um... Anytime. It's Saturday after all. My shift starts at noon," she answered."Okay. I'll be here at nine," he said."I'll be ready," she smiled.He unfastened his seatbelt, exited the car, came around to open her door, helped her out, and shut the door."I had a lovely time with you," he said."Me too." she smiled."I'll wal

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,
