2023-05-04 23:50:53“What? No way! I've told you a million times that I'll take care of your mom and you don't have to work. But you don't trust me.”
“I didn't come here to be just a hookup, and now I'm pregnant with your baby. Are you trying to make me look bad?”
“You care too much about what other people think. Sara lived with Ricky before they got married, and no one judged her for it. Why should it be any different for us?”
“She's Mrs. Dixon, Ryan! No one's gonna mess with her. But you ain't Mr. Dixon. What difference does it make if you're the best actor?” Gracie retorted.
“I'm telling you, I ain't Ricky. I don't wanna make the same mistake he did. I can't stay away from you during your pregnancy. I don't wanna lose my kid just he did,” Ryan said, his voice tinged with anger.
Sara Owen was taken aback by Ryan's outburst. Gracie and Ryan fell silent, looking at Sara's flushed face.
"What the hell did you just say?" Sara asked. Ryan let out a sigh, realizing he messed up.
"Oh, crap. Sorry, Sara. I shouldn't have said anything," Ryan apologized.
Sara was panicking now. She had lost her first child, and only Gracie knew about it. Not even Yohan Dixon...
"Ryan, who told you about it?" Sara asked anxiously, swallowing hard.
Ryan looked at her with an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, Sara. When I was drinking with Ricky and he found out about your miscarriage."
Sara Owen trembled. Had Yohan Dixon already known about his first child?
"We all know he's got bipolar disorder, and, his anger can be fierce. When he kicked you out of the villa, deep down he was sad, even though he never let it show. And nobody knew you were pregnant. You know, we used to hang out every day in his private cabin at Dixon Headquarters. And that night when he found out about your miscarriage from the car accident, I was there, drinking with him. He couldn't handle it and just had to come and bring you back with him."
“Then why didn't he never tell me any of this?”
"He didn't want to hurt you by bringing up painful memories," Ryan Jenkins explained.
Sara put her hand over her mouth, her eyes welling up with tears.
"I can't believe it," she whispered.
“Sara, it’s okay. It’s past.” Gracie comforted her.
"I remember when he found out about your miscarriage... There were tears in his eyes, something I never saw before." Ryan said.
Sara Owen was wearing baggy midi to hide her belly. Her hands started shaking as she heard everything. She gently pressed her belly.
Gracie and Ryan looked at each other with surprise as they saw her belly. Sara Owen broke into tears.
She was scared about how her husband would react if he saw her pregnant after he returned. But now she was confident that he would be overjoyed to know about their child.
“You… You’re pregnant, Sara?” Gracie asked with surprise. Sara Owen wiped her tears and held Gracie’s palm with bright smile.
Sara took Gracie’s hand in hers, “Listen, honey, being a mother is the best feeling in the world. And losing your child is the worst. So please, listen to Ryan. Society and marriage don’t matter as long as you’re with the one you love and your child. Trust me on this.”
Ryan Jenkins wrapped his arms around Gracie and let out a deep sigh as they watched Sara Owen leave the restaurant.
"I'm sorry, Ryan," Gracie said, holding him tighter.
"I'm going to call the reporters and proudly declare it. I'm going to be a dad!" Ryan exclaimed.
Gracie looked up at him with affection and he held her face in his warm hands, giving her a peck on her forehead.
"And you're going to be the mother," he said with a smile.
Gracie beamed with joy.
Upon arriving at Dixon villa, Sara Owen was informed by the housekeeper that Bruno Dixon was waiting for her in his study room. Sara entrusted her belongings to the housekeeper and quickly made her way to the study room.
"Uncle.”
"Come in," Bruno Dixon said, keeping his eyes closed.
Sara closed the door and walked towards him. "What's up?"
"Sit down," he gestured to the chair in front of him.
Sara Owen sat down in front of Bruno Dixon, feeling a little nervous. He seemed to be tense and had his eyes closed when she entered. When he opened his eyes and spoke, Sara swallowed nervously.
"Jack called and said you went to see your best friend," Bruno said.
"Yeah, Gracie texted me," Sara replied.
"How's she doing?" he asked.
"She's doing well. Ryan and Gracie had a little argument, but I went to help sort things out. Everything is fine now," Sara said in a more relaxed tone.
"If they had a fight, why do your eyes look puffy?"
"I just have a little headache," Sara replied, avoiding eye contact.
"Natalie and I always say that Ricky must have fallen for you because of your innocent charm, but now I'm not so sure," Bruno continued.
"What are you talking about, Uncle?"
"Is it true that you and Neel had feelings for each other while he was studying in Vento University?" Bruno finally asked.
Sara Owen quickly lowered her head to escape from embarrassment.
“Does Ricky know?”
Sara Owen hesitantly nodded.
"I'm sorry, uncle." She said in her trembling voice.
“Ricky can be a bit of a hothead, but he's also brilliant. Nobody knows what goes on in his head, but people are afraid of him when he gets angry. It's natural to have crushes in college, and I'm proud of you for respecting the integrity of our family by staying loyal to your husband after marriage.”
Bruno got up from his chair and approached her.
“My dear, I know you're scared, but I can't stop my son. And I can't even tell Natalie the truth. The only thing I can do for you is…”
Sara Owen anxiously gazed at Bruno Dixon, worried that he might tell her to leave the family.

“You should not come here.”Sara Owen stood up, “Uncle, I never wanted to leave this house. I love you and Aunt Natalie more than anything in this world. You both are my family.”Bruno Dixon patted her head gently, “I know that, my child. And that’s why I am telling you that we will not force you to stay here if it makes you uncomfortable. But remember, you will always have a place in our hearts.”Sara Owen hugged him tightly, “Thank you, Uncle. I will never forget this kindness.”Bruno Dixon hugged her back, “Don’t thank me, my child. It’s my duty as a father to protect my children.”"You're making me feel uncomfortable. Ever since I married Yohan, I've become connected to the joys and sorrows of this family. I've tried my best to fulfill my responsibilities. You know, I don't come here just because Aunt insists. I come because I genuinely want to be here. This is my family.""I knew you would say that. But Neel..."Sara Owen interrupted him, "Uncle, do you think I'm scared of Neel's

"Are you sure about this?"Nolan nodded gravely. "Yes, Madam. The software of President lift is impossible to break. The technician who fixed the lift confirmed that the software had been tampered with so that you couldn't use it. And when you opted to use the staff lift, it was broken intentionally right before you were about to go in. It was clear that someone had planned to harm you.”She felt a shiver run down her spine as she thought about what could have happened if she had been in the lift when it broke down. The idea that someone was after her was terrifying. She had never felt so vulnerable before.Nolan was watching her with concern, and she could tell that he was equally disturbed by the incident. She turned to him, "Do you have any idea who could have done this?"Nolan shook his head, "I am not sure, but we are looking into it. We are checking the CCTV footage and talking to the security personnel to see if they noticed anything suspicious."Sara nodded, "Okay, keep me upd

Sara was devastated when she saw Yohan Dixon hanging from the ceiling, his wrists tied with a hook.She tried to shout but could only whisper his name.The man's blood-soaked shirt terrified her.

They found a hiding spot beneath a large rock near a small stream, far away from any medical help. Yohan searched frantically for a solution and noticed the nearby flowing water. He gathered wood sticks and used two stones to create a fire, hoping to keep Sara warm in the chilly jungle night. Carefully, he carried her and settled her into the water, supporting her in a seated position.The water provided some relief from the pain and discomfort, while the fire offered warmth.Sara's pain became unbearable, causing her to scream loudly. Yohan was concerned about the noise attracting unwanted attention, which could be dangerous for both of them. So, he gently covered her mouth, allowing her to bite him if needed. He endured the pain, focusing on ensuring a safe delivery. Placing his other hand on her stomach, he tried to feel the baby's movements, sensing that the baby was nearly ready to be born.In a hushed tone, he whispered to Sara, "Just a little longer, Sara.

That night… Their first encounter…Sara recalled how Yohan had been sitting in his car, smoking and seemingly lost in his thoughts when the goons had approached her. Despite his intoxicated state, he had chased them away and rescued her. She was touched by his kindness and generosity when he offered her to stay in his private villa, which he kept off-limits even to his own family members.Without a home to live in, Sara Owen felt blessed to have found a place where she could take shelter. She had offered to serve Yohan in any way she could, in return for his kindness.Despite his gruff exterior, he had a soft spot for her, which became evident when he asked her out on a date and proposed to her. However, before Sara Owen could respond to his proposal, Yohan was kidnapped, leaving her in a state of shock and confusion.

"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 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.

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,

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.

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.

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.
