Tensions rose in the room as Neel's rebellious attitude clashed with Yohan's uncompromising authority.

Natalie scolded Neel again, "Neel, what are you saying? Ricky has given you money many times, and he never questioned you. He even gave you more than you asked for."

Neel frowned, "I know, mom, but I don't want to go abroad, that's it."

"Shut up, Neel," Natalie snapped.

"You know you'll go if I want you to, whether you like it or not," Yohan said, smirking.

Neel became serious and silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, then. I'll go abroad on one condition."

Yohan raised an eyebrow, "I can send you without listening to your condition, but go ahead, tell me."

"I want to marry Sara," Neel declared.

Everyone present was shocked and looked at Yohan with fear.

"Do you even know what you're asking for?" Natalie held Neel's arm, trying to reason with him.

"I know, mom. Today, I'll tell you the truth. Sara and I liked ea

    The cloudy evening matched the tension in the air, and Yohan knew that he had to get to the bottom of the situation before it escalated further.As Yohan stood there, contemplating the mysterious turn of events, he realized that he needed to resume all the pending investigations that he had halted after his divorce. He had put aside some crucial matters to focus on his personal life, but now, with Bruno's strange behaviour and Natalie's considerations, he couldn't afford to ignore them any longer.Yohan entered the study room, his eyes scanning the floor, taking in the scattered papers.

"Come in," he said in his hoarse voice.Natalie entered the study room and said, "Bruno is awake. He wants to see you."Yohan quickly put out his cigarette and stood up.

    "You are so careless!" Kevin scolded playfully as he draped his coat over Sara's shoulder.She smiled gently."Why do I always have to remind you to wear your coat?" he teased, looking into her beautiful eyes.Sara smiled, "You finished work?"Kevin nodded, and they started walking. "Not yet. I still have work. I think I'll have to skip my sleep tonight.""Then let's go inside. I will warm up some food for you. You didn't eat..."He interrupted, "Listen to me."

    At seven-thirty in the evening, Ryan Jenkins sauntered into the cabin. He noticed the overflowing ashtrays on the table and Yohan was deeply engrossed in something on his laptop. Clearing his throat, Ryan tried to get his attention."Done with your movie shootings abroad?" Yohan asked."I had to wrap it up quickly. Can't wait to get back to Gracie and my little one," Ryan replied, taking a seat in front of Yohan and leaning back on the chair."Dude, how long have you been glued to that seat? You're turning into a chain smoker. You seriously need to quit," Ryan remarked.Yohan shut the laptop and leaned back on his chair, taking a drag of his cigarette. "Just trying to figure out what went down during my absence," he replied, blowing smoke into the air.“What's eating you, man?"Yohan headed towards the bar counter, grabbing a bottle of whisky. "Tell me something," he said, pouring whisky into two glasses. "Was Sara really that desperat

    "If you keep calling me so sweetly, I won't be able to resist coming there, even if it means all the work has to wait. Oh, Sara! I should have brought you along with me. If I had, after finishing work, I'd be talking to you all night, with you sitting right in front of me."Sara blushed even more, "You're talking like we were going to share the same room.""We can if you want.”"Kevin, we..." Sara stiffened.“We live under the same roof. Why can't we share a room?" Kevin said, sounding serious. “We can figure out a way to be together. Can't we? It can't be that hard.""I don't know what you're getting at, Kevin.""Yes, you do. You know exactly what I mean."Sara's heart started racing, and Kevin could hear her breath quickening."Good night." Kevin ended the call and leaned back on the couch, closing his eyes. The image of Sara's face was stuck in his mind, making him feel frozen with desire. She had no idea h

    Yohan remained in a daze, staring at the closed door. He couldn't understand his conflicting feelings.Hadn't he initially thought of giving the gown to Sara as a gift, a symbol of closure for their relationship?Then why did he feel a pang of discomfort when Leslie claimed it as her gown?Why did he still feel that the gown only truly belonged to Sara?The gown had been a part of their special day. Despite the divorce, he couldn't shake off the emotional attachment he had with those memories.As the minutes ticked by, Leslie finally emerged from the changing room, wearing the gown with a radiant smile."Wow, Yohan, look at me! This gown is simply stunning!"

    In the car, Sara was sitting in Kevin's arms, resting her head on his shoulder. They didn't talk on the way home. When the car stopped, Kevin glanced at Assistant Rob and signalled him with his eyes to leave. As soon as Rob was gone, Kevin looked at Sara's pale face and noticed her grip on his arm. It warmed his heart. She clung to him like a baby monkey to its mother."Sara..." Kevin's deep voice broke the silence, and Sara Owen closed her eyes tightly, holding on to him tighter. Kevin wrapped his arms around her and held her in a tight embrace. Her face was near his chest, and he could feel her tears."I left you alone for a few hours, and you're already crying again. Hm?" Kevin said softly.Sara opened her eyes, "I don't understand, Kevin. Just ten minutes before the meeting, I copied my file from the laptop to the pendrive. But when I got to the meeting room, something else was there. I tried to explain it to Miss Gandhi, but she thought I was making excuses

    "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.

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.

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,

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.

    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.

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.
