"Piece of cake." Benjamin grins and Alistair joins them.

“I can tell that your test went really well which is why you are in a very good mood, but let me give you a quick, quick gist, to make your mood even better,” Alistar says and Caleb narrows his eyes at him.

“I have a feeling that it is going to be something juicy” Benjamin smiles, nodding his head slowly, while giving Caleb a sly look.

Or are you kidding me?” Alistair questions and he shoots him a confused look “ I don’t understand…do I look like I am joking?” Caleb questions his best friend, starting to get seemingly irritated and Alistair notices that. “Ohhh you were actually serious, my bad…I didn’t know that you meant it” Alistair mocks him by pretending not to notice that he was serious. “Now back to my question, if I want to serve somebody a law suite on TikTok, how will I go about it?” Caleb asks him, his seriousness obvious. “I am not trying to make it seem like your feelings are not val

And where exactly are you?” she questions him, looking around frantically. “The man of your dreams, and I am Somewhere, watching over you” He answers her. “It is either you tell me where you are so that I can come and meet you or I leave this resort” she threatens him. “I don’t feel comfortable knowing that you are watching me from the sidelines…it is creepy as hell,” she expatiates. “If you don’t feel comfortable, then tell me

The baby girl, Dawn is not just from any of Caleb’s one-night stands, but her flesh and blood, the child that she didn’t look at after birth because she didn’t want to get attached to, but now she is expected to just deal with it like Caleb instructed? “How could he do this to me?” Melanie’s voice trembles with rage and frustration. It just feels like she has been punched in the gut, her breath knocked out of her. “It was one of the hardest decisions of my life not to get attached to the stranger in my belly, and when I finally did, I had to just give her up because I know that giving her up is way better than having her stay with a mother that can’t cross the mountains and swim the oceans for her, but now I am expected to just…take care of her like it is no big deal?” She scoffs, her mind reeling with emotions.

    Melanie steps into Caleb’s grand Mansion, her eyes scanning the opulent interior as a mix of nostalgia and unease washes over her. It has been a year since she last stayed in this place, and she can’t help but notice how much she missed the warmth and comfort that radiated from its walls. As she walks alongside Caleb, she pants in surprise at how natural it feels to be back here, almost as if she never left, but her reverie is short-lived. They enter the foyer and are greeted by a sea of smiling faces. The stewards, who had been like family to her during her brief stay, are all lined up, eager to welcome them back. Melanie’s eyes wide as she takes in the scene, feeling a sense of disorientation and then, her gaze lands on a tiny, chubby baby girl, dressed in a white onesie and a baby pink headband, being held by the dog, Mia’s nanny. Melanie’s heart skips a beat, and she feels a jolt of both surprise and confusion because she thought that Caleb was kidding when he said that he had

No matter how understanding he might have been, sticking around her while she faces Caleb probably sets her divorce in motion. On a second note, she thinks it might be for the better because they got there around 4 p.m., and now it is 8 p.m. with no sign of Caleb.“Should I just go now, or should I keep waiting?” She silently contemplates as she looks around the reception hallway that also doubles as the waiting room of the corporation.Melanie's eyes scan the waiting room, her gaze drifting towards the passage that she feels leads to the elevator for what feels like a hundred times. She hasn’t achieved everything that she was hoping that she would achieve today, like editing the videos that she recorded earlier and posting on tiktok and her patience-wearing thing.Sudden

No, she is not and she said that nothing was going on between her and Ryan,” Caleb informs Alistair.

She even deleted her TikTok account after she left Orion because everywhere she went on TikTok, one person or another had something or the other to say about her marriage with Caleb, and there were just a whole lot of speculations going around the internet with the videos that she watched, so she just had to let the app go.
