The next day…

During the lunch break, Vishwa Gandhi approached Sara with a smile. "Hi, Miss Owen. Mind if I join you for a moment?"

"Of course not, Miss Gandhi. Please have a seat," Sara replied, closing her laptop.

"I must say, your dedication to work always amazes me," Vishwa said, looking impressed. "Even during lunchtime, you're checking emails."

Sara chuckled, "Well, I had some free time after lunch, so I thought I'd catch up on a few things. But...you don't look good. What's wrong?"

Vishwa leaned in, looking a bit anxious. "Actually, I'm a bit worried."

“Why? Isn’t project work going well?”

“Not because of the project itself, but because I have a party to attend this evening. And I tend to get a little too carried away with drinks in such situations. I'm not sure how I'll get back home."

Sara thought for a moment. "You could book a cab or ask a friend to drop you."

Vishwa sighed, "The

    Yohan Dixon turned back, and at that moment, Sara's heart skipped a beat. The world seemed to freeze for a moment as their eyes met.Yohan looked breathtakingly handsome in his black suit, with the black shirt unbuttoned at the top, revealing a glimpse of his muscular, masculine chest. Despite the cold expression on his face, there was an undeniable aura of mystery and allure around him. He held a glass of whisky in one hand, his other palm still wrapped in gauze, and the way he stood exuded an air of confidence and power.As his intense gaze met Sara's, his eyes didn't even blink, but she could sense a flicker of surprise in them. It seemed he was equally taken aback by her presence at Leslie's party. She tried to read his emotions, but his icy behaviour made it challenging to solve what he was thinking or feeling at that moment."Hey, Vishwa! You're such a tardy one!" Leslie exclaimed with a playful grin.Vishwa chuckled, "Yeah, yeah, I know. I was waitin

    “I swear, you can kill any man with your sexy looks,” he said, complimenting her beauty.Sara didn't want to engage in conversation with him. She turned to leave, trying to distance herself from him."Where are you going?" he asked, trying to stop her.Sara shot him a cold look. "I don't feel like chatting with you.""Well, it's better than going in and getting humiliated by uncle's girlfriend," Neel said, smirking.Sara decided to stay there and crossed her arms. She kept her distance, still not wanting to engage with Neel."I don't need your company, Neel.”Neel smirked, undeterred by her coldness. "Oh, come on, Sara. Don't be so distant. We used to be close once.""That was a long time ago, and things have changed," she retorted, avoiding eye contact.Neel leaned in, trying to charm her. "You haven't changed much, though. You still look stunning."Sara rolled her eyes. "Save your flattery for

    Yohan Dixon was driving the car at top speed, the engine roaring as they sped along the dark seaside road. Even though he had consumed alcohol, his body seemed to handle it well, and he didn't appear drunk.Sara's voice, hoarse and trembling, finally broke the long silence, "Please stop the car."Yohan didn't argue or question her request, immediately bringing the car to a halt by the seaside.Sara took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart. She opened the car door and stepped out, feeling the cool breeze against her face. Due to drug effects, she still felt weak and shaken.Yohan got out of the car as well and leaned against it, his gaze softening as he looked at her back.The sound of crashing waves filled the air, and the night seemed to grow even darker. The sky was dark, but it was filled with sparkling stars, casting a magical glow over the surroundings.Yohan lit a cigarette and took a slow sip, the smoke swirling around him.

"I made a promise to someone else, and I can't break that.""You had promised me too, to be with me forever," he finally said, his voice tinged with sadness."After the death of our daughter, I also died inside, and all my promises died with me," Sara replied, her voice trembling with emotion."You know I was lost between truth and lies," Yohan said, his frown deepening."I only know that I tried everything to make you believe, but you never trusted me.

His bare back and the smoke swirling around him reminded her of the intensity of their night together.Yohan placed the cigarette between his lips and swiftly grabbed his black shirt, slipping it on without bothering to button it up. As he smoked, he cast a glance in Sara's direction. She sat there, feeling a sense of unease and guilt wash over her.He gently caressed her cheek before blowing smoke towards her face."Will you still run away from the truth?" he asked.Sara trembled, unsure of how to respond. She looked away, feeling terrible for the disruption she had caused.Seeing her hesitation, he placed the cigarette between his lips and lifted her effortlessly in his arms.

His suspicions grew stronger."It seems like you didn't go back home," Kevin remarked.

    "How... How is that possible? I remember, we chatted the morning I got attacked. You were the one telling me the baby was all healthy. What the hell happened?" "Maybe it's just my rotten luck, Jemma. But seeing you with Sunny, I can't help but be grateful you made it through and had a healthy baby." "Oh, Jia..." Jemma enveloped her in a tight hug, both women clinging to each other as tears flowed freely. Meanwhile, Noah reached the October Villa. As he approached, Yohan shot him a glare colder than a snowstorm. "Dad... Mom..." Noah greeted them, his eyes darting around to gauge the situation. Sunny was playing with Yohan. Noah swallowed hard, sensing trouble. "How can you be so careless, Jimmy? Why'd you let Jemma come here alone at this hour? You know the danger's not over yet," Sara scolded, her tone edged with worry. "Mom, I didn't want her to come, but she insisted..." "You're avoiding the situation, Jimmy.

I just need to sort some things out first."Jemma, growing more anxious, insisted, "But I've been waiting, Jimmy. I can't wait any longer. What's going on?"Noah, worried about her mental state, softened his tone, "Listen, babe. Trust me, I'll take you to see Jia, okay? I don't want to rush into things."Jemma, feeling a pang of doubt, couldn't hold back, "Are you hiding something from me? Why won't you just take me?""No, Jemma, it's not like that.""Jimmy..." her eyes turned tearful."Okay. I'll take you out to dinner tonight, at October Villa. Jia's staying there, and we can see her afterward. Deal?"Jemma hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "Okay, dinner it is. But you better not forget about it.Noah smiled, relieved that he had managed to divert her attention, "I won't. Now, let me get going, okay?"Jemma agreed, watching him leave for the office.

    Noah trudged back from work, the day's burdens still hanging on his shoulders. Opening the bedroom door, he caught sight of Jemma singing a lullaby to Sunny in her sweet voice. Emotions surged within him, and he quietly closed the door, not wanting to disturb their tender moment.Sinking into the living room couch, Noah leaned back with a heavy sigh. Guilt and regret enveloped him as he grappled with the reality of their situation. Conflicting emotions swirled as he recognised the joy in Jemma's happiness but couldn't shake the haunting feeling that everything was amiss.Jemma placed Sunny in the cot and, on her way to the kitchen for water, found Noah sitting in the dimly lit living room, a cigarette in one hand and a glass of whisky in the other. She touched his shoulder, and he opened his eyes, extinguishing the cigarette and placing the glass on the table."Tired?" she asked.Noah sighed deeply, rubbing the gap between his eyes. "Is Sunny asleep?"Jemma nodded, her palm on his che

    The next morning dawned, casting a feeble light across the hospital room. The oxygen mask, a constant companion in her struggle for breath, had been removed, leaving her vulnerable in the stark hospital room.As Jemma slowly opened her eyes, the sterile scent of the hospital greeted her senses. Her gaze fell on Noah, sitting at the edge of the bed, his face etched with a mixture of exhaustion and sorrow. Desperation flickered in her eyes, and as she tried to speak, her voice emerged as a raspy whisper, "Jimmy... where's our baby?"Noah's heart clenched at the question, the weight of the unspoken truth hanging heavily in the air. He hesitated, avoiding her gaze, and gently urged, "Jemma, just take it easy. You need to rest."But Jemma, fueled by a mother's instinct and the gnawing fear that something was amiss, persisted, "Jimmy, please, where's our baby? Why won't you tell me?"His throat tightened with the burden of the truth he wasn't ready to share. Trying to divert her attention,

The terrace became a haven for Noah, who stood near the railing, his hands tucked into his pockets, gazing into the vast darkness.Jacob approached silently, standing beside him.Noah's shoulders slumped, burdened by the weight of the night. Understanding the unspoken unrest, Jacob placed a hand on Noah's shoulder."It's tough, Jimmy," Jacob finally said.Noah remained silent, still lost in the abyss of his thoughts."It's okay, Jimmy. It's not your mistake." Jacob added."You shouldn't have brought Jia here," Noah mumbled."I couldn't lie to her, and... I couldn't stop her," Jacob replied."How's she?" Noah asked, his voice strained."She's fine. Delivery went smoothly, not too hard on her. It's life.""How's the baby?" Noah's voice caught in his throat.

Clueless about the impending twist in her evening, she initiated a video call, capturing the picturesque scene of her enjoying the sweet treat.Noah's face lit up when he saw Jemma's call, and his initial joy was evident as he glimpsed her savouring the ice cream.

However, his expression shifted when he noticed the unfamiliar surroundings and the people bustling behind her.Concern etched across his face, Noah interrupted her playful banter. "Jemma, where are you? You're not at home, are you?" he asked, his voice betraying a mix of worry and irritation.Jemma, still in her carefree mood, laughed, "Relax, Jimmy! Just

    Yohan looked straight into her eyes, "Your mother didn't make a mistake giving birth to you and your brother. Being a mother ain't a mistake. The real mistake is not being able to bring a child into the world. And you didn't make a mistake wanting to bring life into this world."Jia lowered her head, tears welling up."He's a good guy. I'm proud of you."Jia rested her head on his shoulder, and he tightened his grip on her hand, patting it with his other hand."Jimmy's mad at him, not at you or your child. They're buddies. They'll figure it out.""Thanks, Dad."…Noah stepped out of the bathroom, catching sight of Jemma massaging her own feet. With a quick stride, he approached her."What are you doing? Lie down," he insisted, guiding her to lean back onto the bed. Noah grabbed a cushion, placing it behind her for support. Carefully, he lifted her leg, settling it on his thigh, and started massaging it gently.Jemma looked at him deeply, a gentle smile playing on her lips, radiating w

Jemma wasn't giving up, clinging to his arms to stop him."Jimmy, please... don't be so furious. At least try to understand. We can talk.""Jemma..." his dark eyes sent shivers down her spine, and she realized the magnitude of his anger.In the bedroom, as Jia and Jacob heard Noah's furious voice, Jia clutched Jacob's hand in fear. "Jacob...""Don't worry, I'll talk to him. Let me go.""No... no... please... please, Jacob..."Jacob gently released his hand from her grip and stepped out of the bedroom. Noah caught sight of him, and his anger surged."Freaking scoundrel!" Ignoring Jemma, he shoved her aside and lunged at Jacob."Jimmy... Jimmy..."

Who the hell leaves you in such a condition?" he shouted angrily."No brother, don't do anything to him. Please... he was going to tell you...""When? After the baby's born? It's been seven fucking months, Jia!" he screamed, shaking her. Jemma approached Jia, holding her shoulders, and said to Noah, "Jimmy, don't scare her. We can talk calmly.""I'm warning you, Jemma. Ask her who he is or get her ready to see his dead body in twenty-four hours."Saying that, he stormed out of the apartment furiously, leaving everyone shocked and scared. Jia sobbed, holding Jemma's hands, "Jemma... please... tell brother not to do anything to him... please... Jemma...""Calm down... calm down, Jia... don't cry...
