Today everything went well for Reynold and Diego. Reynold manages to get an almost perfect father figure from Diego. And Diego has won Reynold's heart as a good father-to-be. Although everyone now only knows that Diego is not the father-to-be, but actually the father.Felicia is the only one who feels a bit confused here. People's questions about her and Diego's relationship seemed to be something she had to explain. They were all suddenly friendly and eager to steal Felicia's attention after thinking that she was Diego's wife. "You're very lucky to have Diego.""How did you get to know Mr. Diego and win his heart.""Mrs. Felicia, I am the president of the school's best student society. Would you like to join?""Reynold is a sweet boy. I would love it if he would be my daughter's best friend." "This weekend there will be an elected parents' club, would you like to join. I can reserve an empty seat for you."Sweet mouths with various attractive offers. Actually, in the midst of this
"Everyone look at this!" a woman raised her cell phone high into the air, signaling the people around her to come closer. Vilia, who was doing her work on the computer screen, became curious and came over to the source of the voice. This morning the Escape office would be stirred up by a news story that one of the employees had just read on his own cell phone. "What are you up to this early making a scene, huh?" asked Vilia curiously.The woman who had made a stir was none other than Sharon. One of Vilia's coworkers who had remained until now, as well as one of Felicia's former friends."Vilia, aren't you Felicia's best friend?" Sharon asked Vilia."Yes, that's right. So what?" Vilia asked back. "Shouldn't you be surprised after reading this news?" Sharon handed Vilia her cell phone, with the screen lit up and linked directly to today's updated news. After a few moments passed, Vilia frowned. Suffice to say, Vilia was probably a bit surprised. But what puzzled her more was how co
Edward is thinking hard right now. Zean says that all the evidence points to Diego, aka his own younger brother. However, Edward couldn't just believe it. "Are you sure?" asked Edward to make sure. "Yes... my men say all the evidence points to him. Including the testimony of the person who called you, as well as others," Zean replied. This was getting weird. Why did everything seem so easy. Diego couldn't have openly wanted Edward dead. At the very least, Diego couldn't have left such an easy trail."Listen, Zean. I don't want to doubt you, but Diego is my brother. Even though we don't live together, I still know how he is. Besides, Diego wants my destruction. Not my death!" Edward explained. Someone wanted to harm Edward but cast the blame on Diego. Unfortunately, the tactics used were still not smart enough."Investigate everything again. I... don't want to disturb Diego and Felicia's happiness for now!" Edward said then.Edward tried not to care, but he failed to hide it from Z
The city streets were not too congested today. In fact, it was almost too smooth. This makes it easier for Vilia, who is currently driving to Felicia's restaurant that will open tomorrow. Vilia had deliberately taken the day off work. She intended to help her best friend at the restaurant. And apart from the purpose of helping, Vilia also still had curiosity about Felicia and Diego's real relationship. Vilia had been planning this for days. But apparently, fate could only give Vilia the opportunity to meet Felicia today. "I have to get the answer today. Why did Felicia hide it from me!" Vilia said to herself.Arriving at Felicia's restaurant, Vilia found several people going back and forth carrying some items and tidying them up. Vilia had just met these people and didn't know them at all. But even so, she had to ask one of the employees there about Felicia's whereabouts."Excuse me, have you seen Felicia?" Vilia asked one of the employees."Eeehm, Mrs. Felicia seems to have gone w
It was getting late. Felicia's preparations to start her new business were only a few percent complete. She didn't need to step in anymore because her many employees could handle everything now.Felicia and Vilia were currently sitting at one of the tables upstairs, just outside the balcony. The view here was quite beautiful. Felicia had always loved this place. And she had liked it even more since it had become hers."Hey, I had forgotten. What about Reynold. Are you still here now?" asked Vilia."I called him earlier and asked if he wanted to be picked up and come over. But he said... he's lazy and prefers to stay home," Felicia explained."Is Reynold alone?" asked Vilia again. "At first he was, but Diego soon came and accompanied Reynold." Felicia added.Vilia sneered inwardly. Here Felicia was with Esson and at her son's house with Diego. Greedy! That's what Vilia thought of Felicia. That woman couldn't live with just one man. "Eehmm, speaking of Diego... you don't seem to want
Felicia wandered around looking for Esson. Moments later she found him talking to one of the employees at the restaurant. Felicia then approached Esson and may have interrupted the conversation that the man was having. "Esson, can I talk to you for a moment?" Felicia asked.Esson turned to Felicia's restaurant employee. He asked the employee to leave and left him alone with Felicia there. "Okay, what did you want to talk to me about now?" Esson asked. "Eehmm, sorry I have to trouble you now. I wanted to ask you a favor. Can you drive Vilia home now?" said Felicia with a slightly pleading tone."Why, I think the car is fine," Esson replied. He said so because he remembered Vilia's flat tire problem back then. "No, it's not about the car. Vilia is sick, and all of this must have been affected by her hard work in helping me today. I'm honestly very worried if she goes home alone. So please, could you take her home?" pleaded Felicia."Yes... it's actually no problem. But why should I?
"Ppfft... ha ha ha, what a fool." The sound of laughter in the car came from Esson.Vilia frowned, a sign that she did not understand Esson's behavior. That is, after Esson kissed Vilia, the man burst out laughing. What was going on? This made Vilia confused and embarrassed at the same time. Was it so stupid to kiss Vilia that Esson laughed afterwards? "Sorry, Esson. What are you thinking right now? Why are you even laughing like that. After... Eehmm... after... " Even Vilia was embarrassed to say that Esson had just kissed her."Do you really want to know?" Esson asked back while holding back his laughter.Vilia waited for the man's answer. And now Esson stopped laughing."Alright, alright. You know, I had high expectations. But apparently, you're even more innocent than I thought," Esson said."Innocent? How do you know how innocent I am when you don't do anything?" Vilia grumbled later. "That's the difference. You should have done something. But never mind, you should learn more.
"Felicia!" whispered Zean. Zean was surprised to see Felicia's arrival, especially in the rain like this. He signaled his men to leave immediately. Meanwhile, Zean himself ran over to Felicia. "Felicia, what are you doing here!" Zean asked. Zean and Felicia stood in the pouring rain, facing each other. Zean took off the jacket he was wearing and covered Felicia with it. "Let's find some shelter now!" said Zean, as he put his arm around Felicia as they walked, shielding her from the rain with his jacket.They stopped at an empty bench for shelter. If it wasn't for Felicia, Zean would have left with his men earlier. Felicia and Zean were now soaking wet."Felicia, let me ask you one more time. Why are you here? What are you doing?" asked Zean. "I... followed you," Felicia replied."Followed me? What do you mean?" asked Zean."I was at an intersection with traffic and saw you running after someone with other men. Out of curiosity, I got out of the car and followed you," said Felicia
Felicia slammed the door and ran out of the car as it stopped in front of the hospital."Felicia, slow down!" Vilia shouted at the woman.But Felicia didn't hear her. She just kept running, running without even looking back. There was only one goal. She had to see for herself how Reynold was doing. Meanwhile, Vilia went to park her car. Felicia arrived at the door of the room where Reynold was according to the instructions Edward had given her. And as soon as Felicia opened the door, everyone immediately looked at her. Inside the room were Edward, Zean, Doctor Alvin and of course Reynold. Reynold was currently sitting on the patient's bed. He smiled happily at the arrival of his mother. "Mom!" Reynold shouted to Felicia. Felicia immediately ran over and hugged Reynold tightly. So tightly that the boy was probably having trouble breathing."Oh my God, Reynold. Are you okay? How are you doing now. Tell me which part hurts?" Felicia immediately bombarded Reynold with all sorts of qu
Diego and Reynold had reached their destination. It was a large house that had been neglected and was full of fire damage. Reynold got out of the car and followed Diego fearfully. The little boy thought hard."Didn't Uncle Diego say we were going to his and my father's childhood playground. But why did he bring me here?" Reynold muttered to himself.Reynold stopped following Diego. He didn't want to follow any further as the man walked towards the house.Diego then looked back and saw Reynold had stopped walking. He approached the boy and squatted down in front of him."Why are you doing nothing, Rey?" Diego asked."I don't want to go there, Uncle. I want to go home," Reynold said.Diego smiled at Reynold. His two hands now grasped the boy's shoulders and squeezed so hard that the boy winced in pain."Aaarkh it hurts, Uncle. Let go of me!" said Reynold."You want me to let you go, right?" asked Diego.Reynold nodded quickly."Then you'll keep following me, won't you?" said Diego agai
"You're right! Diego didn't go to the airport!" Zean shrieked. "So where is he now?" asked Edward."Briefly, he's also on the move. But I don't know where he's going," replied Zean. "Then we'll follow where Diego is going. But just in case, tell your men to stay at the airport and keep an eye on the people who are about to board the flight to Paris. We can't let our guard down," Edward ordered."Fine, just leave everything to me. Soon we will find your son," Zean replied.Zean stepped on the gas hard, sending the vehicle speeding through the streets. Armed with Diego's GPS location, they were taken into the hills, far from the city and a bit remote.Along this road, Edward was familiar with the directions and places they passed. All of this seemed to evoke childhood memories that Edward did not want to remember at all.Apparently while driving the car, Zean also noticed Edward's slightly strange demeanor. The man's demeanor was uncharacteristic."Are you okay, Edward?" Zean asked wi
"I still can't believe you hid something this important from me, Zean!" Edward grumbled at Zean.Zean and Edward were currently on their way to the airport to catch up with Diego and Reynold with Zean at the wheel."I didn't hide it. It's because you're so stupid and insensitive. Don't you realize? Although Reynold is also similar to Diego, he is clearly dominant and more similar to you. When I first met Reynold back then, I already knew he was your son in one look," Zean explained at length. "Forget about bonuses or vacations to private islands. You won't get any of that," Edward retorted."Don't worry, I'll book a ticket to Africa by myself later," Zean joked. Edward rolled his eyes and looked the other way. More precisely out the car window. "But you know... it's still like a dream to me. All of a sudden, I have a child. And that child is a big boy now," Edward said. "Do you want me to hit it to prove it's real or a dream?" Zean asked. The airport was quite far from where Zean
"What a surprise that the honorable Mr. Edward would contact Diego. I am truly honored," Diego told Edward over his cell phone. "I'm not playing games with you, Diego. Tell me where Reynold is now. I know you're the father, but taking the boy suddenly without his mother's knowledge is not right. You kidnapped your own son!" Edward said to Diego. Zean and Felicia glanced at each other, the contents of the two people's heads were more or less the same. Edward still misunderstood Reynold. And he said that to Diego, so Edward could be considered a fool by that man."Pffft ha ha ha, oooh gosh. You're so funny. I don't know if you're just funny or stupid!" Diego retorted."It seems like until now, you haven't found the truth at all!" Diego added.Edward, who had wanted to focus on his intention to find Reynold, was now curious. What truth was Diego referring to."Stop joking around and tell me what you mean." Edward spoke seriously. "You think I'm joking? No, not at all. You can ask your
"But after you came back and even brought a child from Diego, I couldn't do anything about my feelings. I want you! My love never went away, I tried to hide it and failed! That's why I'm going to be selfish now to get you back. I'll separate you from Diego and even lock you up from now on if necessary. I also don't care if Reynold is Diego's son. I'll take him too. I will still love him like my own son," Edward continued at length. Wow, this was the longest conversation that had ever come out of Edward's mouth in his entire life. He spoke without stammering or hesitation. It was as smooth as a speech. Felicia was dumbfounded by every word Edward spoke."But, I don't..." "Felicia, do you know where we are right now?" Edward asked when Felicia hadn't finished speaking.Felicia then shook her head. She really didn't know where she was at the moment."We're in the hotel room where we first stayed. Do you remember?" A memory of their past was now spinning in Felicia's mind. She looked a
"Congratulations on your victory," Zean said as he flirtatiously winked at Edward. "I haven't won yet. Who told you that lie," Edward retorted."You already have everything. What else do you have to be afraid of. Mr. Jimmy's already lost, yeah! And now you just have to continue your business with Felicia that was delayed," Zean explained. "But... I don't know if she'll accept you or hate you later if she wakes up still bound like that," Zean added, pointing at Felicia.Felicia was still unconscious. She was sitting and tied to a chair with her eyes covered with a black cloth. In front of her was a table with unlit romantic candles. And not far beside Felicia was a bed with a bed of red and white roses that formed a word of love so beautifully and in such a way. "Eeehm, no. I think all women like surprises," Edward replied confidently."Now, it's time for you to leave before Felicia wakes up. I don't want you to be the first person she sees when she takes the blindfold off!" protest
Diego starts telling Felicia all about Mr. Jimmy. He tells Felicia about how Mr. Jimmy will target her because she is a weakness for Edward. Diego also tells Felicia that Reynold is not a secret. Mr. Jimmy knew that Reynold was Edward's son. And Diego also told Felicia all his foul plans with Mr. Jimmy who wanted to destroy Edward.Diego told Felicia almost everything and the dark side of what he had done with Mr. Jimmy so far. Except about Esson. Diego had his own reasons for not telling Felicia about Esson."Wow, this is amazing," Felicia said."I knew you wouldn't believe this. But the truth is, I'm not a good person. And I'm also..." "No, not that part. I've always known that you and Edward had problems!" Felicia interrupted with a hint of emotion.Diego frowned, Felicia's response was hardly what he expected."What do you mean?" said Diego."All those years you were used by Mr. Jimmy to be his puppet. But you didn't realize all that? Mr. Jimmy didn't love you. He just used you.
"Mr. Edward Collins Harvey officially announces the ownership of the Atlanta Company's assets and shares. As the largest shareholder of a giant company like Atlanta, Edward Collins Harvey will crack down on all forms of fraud and blah blah blah!" Felicia read the latest news about Edward Collins Harvey that had accidentally appeared on the homepage of her social media app."Mr. Edward will also officially announce who his secret wife is, which has always been a public question. The mass media is busy and curious. This news had sunk some time ago. But its appearance now is eagerly awaited. " And Felicia read the news silently. Felicia turned off her cell phone and sighed softly. After a long time, Edward finally appeared in the news again. And this time, the man said that he would reveal the identity of his secret wife from the past. Felicia thought it was completely useless. How could Edward reveal her identity after they were no longer in a relationship. "She's such a bitch!" grum
