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 took off his coat and dove into the water. Ignoring the confusion and stares around, Yohan reached Sara just in time, pulling her limp body out of the water and onto the poolside. He pulled Sara's unconscious body to the surface and carried her in his arms, laying her on the poolside. His breaths were heavy as he stared at her pale face in a state of panic.He didn't know what to do next.The security team quickly arrived, rushing to assess Sara's condition.Yohan, still filled with worry, pressed his hand to her stomach, and water flowed out of her mouth. Without thinking, he began performing CPR, desperate to revive her. After what felt like an eternity, Sara finally coughed and gasped for air, slowly regaining consciousness.The party-goers gathered around, while Neel and Leslie's expressions turned from rejoicing to nervous.Relief washed over Yohan. He picked Sara up in his arms and swiftly carried her away from the crowd.Leslie
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.
The night was still young, and the stars above seemed to be whispering secrets of love and hope.Yohan took a deep drag of his cigarette, trying to find the right words.The sound of the crashing waves was the only thing breaking the silence between them."Come back to me."She shook her head, her heart torn between the love she once had and the commitment she had now. "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. And now it's too late," Sara replied, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.Yohan threw the cigarette i
Yohan was sitting nearby, smoking a cigarette. 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. Sara Owen found herself captivated by his handsome face as he carried her towards the car. Gently laying her on the back seat, he kissed her passionately, leaving her no room to think or resist. Despite her attempts to push him
As he drove, Kevin's mind was still consumed by doubts, replaying the troubling things he had noticed.Sara's return in the morning raised questions - sand on her dress and body, hickeys on her back and neck. He couldn't shake off the feeling that she was hiding something from him.Arriving at Dixon headquarters, Kevin went straight to the top floor to meet Yohan. When he entered Yohan's cabin, he saw Yohan on the phone with Assistant Nolan.After hanging up, Yohan turned around and noticed Kevin standing there. Kevin's warm smile reminded him that he was now Sara's husband. Yohan walked towards Kevin while lighting a cigarette."What brings you here so early in the morning?" Yohan asked with a hint of coldness in his voice.Kevin couldn't help but notice the sand on Yohan's black shirt and the familiar scent of Yohan's perfume that filled the air. His suspicions grew stronger."It seems like you didn't go back home," Kevin remarked.
Neel's eyes widened with fear. He hung up the phone and hurried to the bathroom, frantically getting ready to leave.His father's words had filled him with a sense of urgency and fear. He knew he had to act fast to avoid the wrath of Yohan. Yohan was not one to be underestimated, and Neel knew he was capable of anything when it came to Sara and the elders.After a while...Yohan stormed into the villa, his anger apparent in every step. Natalie and Bruno sensed his fury as they came out of the dining hall after lunch."Ricky…” Natalie started to ask, but Yohan cut her off, "Where's Neel?""Neel..." Natalie hesitated."He's in his bedroom, sleeping," Bruno answered.Without wasting a moment, Yohan rushed towards Neel's room. Assistant Nolan wisely chose not to follow him, and the elders exchanged worried glances."What's happening?" Bruno asked."Has Neel done something to anger him?" Natalie added. Before Nol
Sara turned to see Kevin standing there, smiling charmingly. She felt embarrassed, "I'm sorry. I was just curious to...""It's not a big deal. Let me open the door for you." Kevin took out a key from his blazer and unlocked the door."You can see what's inside," he said, motioning her to enter.Sara felt a sense of embarrassment.“Come with me.” Kevin led her into the room, holding her wrist gently.As they stepped in, her eyes widened in astonishment. The room was a magical wonderland adorned with an array of beautiful teddy bears of all shapes and sizes. The soft, pastel-colored walls were adorned with twinkling fairy lights, casting a warm and cozy glow. The shelves were filled with teddy bears wearing various outfits, from cute costumes to elegant attires.Sara couldn't help but smile as she observed the care and attention put into creating this enchanting space."This is... incredible," she whispered, her voice filled
"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. You can't change the past, but you shouldn't be dodging what's happ
"Jimmy, it's been days. I want to see her and the baby. What's the big deal?"He sighed, "I promise, we'll go later. 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. As the door clo
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,
In the quiet aftermath, the doctor delivered a bittersweet message – Jia had given birth to a healthy baby boy, and she was fine. The family found themselves torn between joy for the new life and grief for the loss of Jemma's child. 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.
On a lovely evening, Jemma, bored at home, craved ice cream. Spontaneously, she called her driver and headed to the best ice cream spot. The cool sweetness lifted her spirits, turning a mundane evening into a delight.As Jemma indulged in her favourite ice cream, she decided to tease Noah, ignoring his earlier warnings about venturing out alone. 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. A smile played on his lips. 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
"Jimmy, just hear me out. It's true. It's Jacob, but...""I don't want to hurt you. Back off," he warned, and Sara covered her mouth in shock at the revelation."Mom, get her out of here," Noah yelled at his stunned mother. 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..." Jemma screamed, almost drowned out by the chaos.Jacob attempted, "Jimmy, let's talk, okay.""I'll kill you!" But Noah un
"You won't do anything to him, brother. Please..." Jia approached him in fear."I'll kill that coward, Jia," Noah gritted his teeth, eyes blazing with anger."He's not a coward, brother.""This is pure cowardice. 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... I'll talk to him."Jia rushed to Sara, stumbling into her legs, "Mom... please..
