Leslie approached Yohan with two glasses of wine and handed one to him, then sat on his lap.
Sara's heart slowly started to ache again, after calming down with great difficulty.
"Why don't you ever invite me to your October Villa? I've heard it's the most beautiful villa in the city."
Yohan took a sip of wine and placed the glass back on the table. He took two deep puffs of the cigarette and blew the smoke in Leslie's face.
"What are you doing? The smoke will ruin my makeup." Her irritation grew apparent, and his eyes darkened even more.
Sara remembered the days before their marriage when Yohan used to blow smoke in her face like this, and she would quietly inhale it without reacting. She never had the courage to speak up in front of Yohan.
Leslie wrapped her arms a

Natalie and Bruno anxiously awaited Sara's arrival, hoping that she would do something to soften Yohan's hatred. Little did they know that Yohan hadn't even made an effort to do so.As Sara appeared, Natalie rushed towards her. "Sara... He agreed? What did he say? Will he keep you with him? Please tell me!"Sara smiled with tears in her eyes and gently held Natalie's hand, guiding her to sit on the couch beside her. "What happened, Sara? Why are you smiling and crying at the same time? Please tell me quickly. I can't handle this suspense.""He's happy with Leslie. I couldn't make him sad," Sara replied, her voice trembling slightly.Natalie looked confused. "Who is this Leslie? And how does her happiness relate to yours and Ricky's? Why aren't you talking about yourself and Ricky?""Aunt, Leslie is his girlfriend," Sara explained.Upon hearing this, Natalie's expression turned blank. "You saw him?"Sara nodded, her voice still shaky.

Sara smiled sadly, "What's the point now? The reason I kept our marriage a secret was because he wasn't getting along with me, and I didn't want to disturb him further. I wanted to wait until we became friends. But now, it doesn't matter to him even if he knows. And as for Rose, even if he finds out and accepts her, he won't be happy with me. He has chosen Leslie as his girlfriend and wants to build a new world for himself. I find happiness in his happiness."Bruno looked at her, "But what about Rose? Will you raise her alone? It's a big responsibility. She's his daughter, and he has a duty to take care of her," Bruno expressed."But I am relieving him of that responsibility," Sara replied.Bruno noticed a thin layer of tears in her eyes."The lengths you're willing to go to keep him happy scare me. You're ready to sacrifice yourself just to ensure his happiness," Bruno said sadly.Sara lowered her gaze, understanding the weight of Bruno's words.

It was a chilly morning.Sara went to visit Gracie at the hospital.Upon arriving, she noticed Yohan and Ryan engaged in conversation in the hospital room's lobby, completely unaware of her presence.Sara quickly hid herself behind a wall, unable to tear her eyes away from her handsome husband dressed in a black suit.

As Ryan turned around after seeing Yohan off, he caught sight of Sara attempting to conceal herself.They exchanged smiles."Congrats!" Sara exclaimed."Thanks. I owe this happiness to you," Ryan replied."How's Gracie doing?""She's good. Both mom and baby are healthy.""You didn't spill the beans about me and Yohan, did you?""Nah, I couldn't. But if Yohan shows up with Leslie at the party, I can't do much.""Is he going to bring her?""Who knows?"Sara nodded. "Doesn't matter now. As long as he's ha

Neel raised his head, locking eyes with Sara, who was now tearful. "I will ask my dad to talk to Uncle about getting you a divorce. And then I will convince my dad to let me marry you. I promise, I will change your life," Neel declared.Neel walked away, leaving Sara to lean her head back against the pole, her heart aching.Yohan got out of the car and headed inside the villa without acknowledging her presence.The housekeeper had informed Natalie about Yohan's arrival, and before Natalie could inquire about Sara, Yohan appeared before her, removing his black sunglasses."How's Uncle?" Yohan asked.Yohan had always been like this for years. No matter where he was in the world, if he heard any sad news about Bruno or Natalie, he would swiftly make his way to them."Come in," Natalie replied with a hint of unhappiness in her voice.Yohan entered the bedroom and looked at Bruno lying on the bed. He took a seat beside him and asked, "Are

The doctor explained further, "Mrs. Dixon, there is a possibility that Rose's sibling could be a suitable donor for stem cells. Matching certain human leukocyte antigens (HLA) is crucial for a successful transplant. Siblings have a higher chance of being a suitable HLA match compared to unrelated donors. If Rose's sibling is a close match, their stem cells could potentially be used."Sara's voice trembled, "Are you asking me to…""Yes, Mrs. Dixon. To save your daughter's life, you would need to become pregnant again," the doctor confirmed.Sara's face turned pale as the weight of the situation sank in. The thought of conceiving Yohan's child seemed impossible, given their strained relationship. Yohan didn't even want to see her, let alone consider having a child with her.Unaware of the truth between Yohan and Sara, the doctor prescribed some tests to determine Sara's eligibility for pregnancy. "You will need to undergo these tests to assess your r

"Yeah, I'm fine," Bruno replied, taking a sip of the juice. Gathering his courage, he continued, "Sara, when Ricky brought you into our family, we never questioned either of you about your past. And you never felt the need to share... anything."Sara interrupted, "Is there anything significant to share from my past, Uncle? But if you were to ask, I would never hide anything."Bruno fell silent, realizing the delicacy of the situation. He didn't dare to delve further into the matter. "Alright, let's go back home," he finally said.They left the garden, with Bruno carrying the weight of the incomplete truth that lingered in his mind.Bruno was consumed by a whirlwind of thoughts and couldn't find any rest. Unable to sleep, he finally made up his mind and dialed Peter's number.Peter picked up the phone, sounding unsurprised. "I knew you'd call.

Bruno's hands started shaking, and the file slipped from his grasp. Peter's laughter echoed in the room, and Bruno's face turned pale."This can't be possible," Bruno whispered weakly.Peter sat in front of Bruno."Years ago, you picked up my own son from outside the court Bruno Dixon and gave him to your wife. Neel is my son."Fear gripped Bruno."All the reports were conducted at your Dixon Hospital. If you want, you can investigate it. After reading the reports, you'll see that Neel's DNA matches mine, not yours."Slowly, Bruno began to understand Peter's motive behind revealing the truth."I can give you as much money as you want. Just spare my family, please," Bruno pleaded, his voice trembling.Peter's gaze turned serious, his Don-like demeanor resurfacing."Bruno Dixon, do you think I'm still that money-extorting guy? I am Peter Winkle now. The rising sun of the underworld. I have plenty of money and power."

"I don't miss you. You're always on my mind," Kevin replied with a teasing tone."Is it the wine talking or...?" Sara trailed off."This is Kevin speaking...""Sometimes..." She paused."Tell me what's on your mind," Kevin urged."Your name sounds familiar," Sara remarked, trying to recall.Kevin smirked, "Don't I sound familiar?""I don't know," Sara admitted, unsure."Well, tell me what you're up to," Kevin asked with interest."Just taking a walk in the garden," Sara replied casually."Would you like to meet?" Kevin proposed."Right now?" Sara questioned, surprised."Yes, right now," Kevin confirmed."But..." Sara started to protest."I'm near Dixon Villa. Get ready and come out. Let's meet at the gate," Kevin insisted."But Kevin..." Sara tried to explain, but he abruptly ended the call, leaving her with no opportunity for excuses. Shaking her head, she made her way back into

"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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'll talk to him."Jia rushed to Sara, stumbling into her legs, "Mom... please..
