The tablet had a name engraved on it: Sunny.

There was a date beside the name but that was it.

Mona counted and realized that the date was around six years ago.

Ginny said the house was haunted and that someone had done a ceremony to trap the soul there. Seeing the memorial tablet, the news seemed to be verified.

Was the child somehow related to Joan?

Was the child Joan’s?

Mona saw Joan stare at the memorial tablet blankly.

Joan was in shock and disbelief. Then, she grabbed the box that held the ashes of the deceased and held it in her arms as if she was carrying a baby. She held it tightly and started to sing a lullaby to it.

“Joan, is Sunny your child?”

“Shhh!” Joan looked like she was in a trance. She put her finger at her lips and silenced Mona. “It’s been a long time since I saw Sunny. She’s sleeping. Don’t wake her. Sunny is a scaredy cat.”

Mona was speechless.

Suddenly, the sky turned dark. She looked outside the window and realized dark clouds shrouded the

    Less than five minutes later, Joan came out with an old, broken doll in her hands. “Joan, where did you go?” Mona came down from Thaddeus’ arms and went over to the woman. Joan's face was streaked with dried tear marks as if she had just cried. “I feel like my child is still inside, like she’s still alive. I went upstairs and found her favorite doll.” Joan was deeply shaken, and her concentration drifted. Then, she suddenly realized the problem. “Why are my child’s things in there? Why are they here at your house?” “This isn’t your child, Joan,” Thaddeus said coldly. “I heard from my mother that the things in this house belonged to a child of one of the servants. The servant helped our family a lot and even saved my father’s life once, so my father allowed the servant and his family to live here.” Joan shook her head. “No. No! That memorial tablet has my child’s name on it! And this doll…I bought this for Sunny when she was young. How…” She refused to believe it or accept i

    On the way back, Mona and Joan still could not calm down. “Mona, tell me, did you really see a girl back there?” “Joan, I’m still very confused. It happened too fast and it was just a flash. I don’t know if I was hallucinating or if I did see a girl.” “But the memorial tablet has Sunny’s name on it.” “Joan, let’s just leave it aside first. Thaddeus is going inside to find out the truth. Maybe there’s something we didn’t understand in there. Let’s just wait for him to come back. Are you frightened as well? Let’s go back into the mansion.” Mona and Joan walked back to the mansion. Then, a tiny figure ran towards Mona and jumped into her embrace. “Mommy! Mommy! I’m scared!” Millie hugged Mona’s leg and nuzzled against her thigh like a puppy. Mona carried the girl up and kissed her puffy cheeks. “Baby, what are you afraid of? Mommy is here. You don’t need to be afraid.” The woman, who had trembled in fear in the abandoned house, transformed into an invincible mother befor

    Ginny crossed her arms and leaned against the closet. She looked askance at Mona and said, “What?” “You cannot stay in this room. Pick another one,” Mona voiced her demand straightforwardly. She did not want her son to see the woman’s half-naked body. The woman had no knowledge of boundaries and morality despite coming from a decent background. Where were her manners and dignity? “Why? I like this room.” Ginny leaned forward and squeezed her chest at Mona. She looked at Thaddeus’ door and simpered. “It has a good view. I like it.” Mona could no longer tolerate the woman. Since words could not enter Ginny’s thick skull, she grabbed her luggage and tossed it outside the room. The clothes fell out from the luggage and scattered all over the floor. “Hey! Why did you throw my luggage out?!” Ginny roared. “Well, I am the mistress of this house, and I am suspecting you of seducing my husband.” Since they never started off on the right foot, Mona did not need to hold back. She

    Ginny took her luggage downstairs. When Mona came out from the guest room, she saw Bobby standing next door, crossing his arms and looking cool as he stared in the direction where Ginny went off. He then looked at Mona. “What’s up with that?” Bobby was referring to Ginny’s stay. “As you can see, Aunt Kimball will be staying with us for a while.” “She must have a hidden agenda,” Bobby said with protruded lips and a sour expression. Mona patted the boy’s head. The boy was smarter and more mature than his sister, and he knew what was going on between the adults. “She’s here already. So, let’s just see what we can do. You are a smart boy. You must learn how to protect yourself and your sister. Got it?” “Don’t worry.” Bobby tapped his chest. “Oh, I have a question that I want to ask.” “What is it?” “Mommy, I will give you a surprise soon.” Bobby’s big eyes and expression could barely hide his excitement. He already had a feeling that Baxter and Kendra were his mother’s

    “I’ve arranged for Ms. Kimball to stay as a guest on the first floor.” “You can take charge of everything at home.” The man showed no concern about Ginny and left Mona in charge of everything. “Great.” “I have to deal with some private matters in the study. Don’t let anyone in. Call me when it’s time for dinner.” Mona’s eyes flickered. Her instinct was always accurate, and she had a feeling the man was acting unusual, given all the details. He must be hiding something from her again. When Thaddeus entered the study, Mona spotted a black stain on the back of his white shirt that somehow resembled a palm. Her heart skipped a beat and suddenly thought of the girl in white she saw in the abandoned house. Her heart pounded wildly. …When Thaddeus entered the room, his cold expression was instantly shrouded with a layer of gloom. He pulled his phone out to call Jennifer at the hospital. Before Jennifer could say a word, Thaddeus bellowed coldly, “What’s with the girl at the

    Mona was not interested in participating in the power struggle of the wealthy, but she was a part of the family and was forced to be in it. She finally understood what it meant by being helpless. She realized her husband was being caught in an invisible war, and it was closely related to her and her kids’ future. She should side with her husband in this war because she would also be securing her own benefits. With that in mind, Mona quietly went downstairs. Both Bobby and Millie were playing in the living room by themselves whereas Joan was nowhere to be found. Mona looked around but did not see her anywhere. Her heart skipped a beat. Could Joan have gone back to the abandoned house again? “Bobby, watch your sister. I have to go out for a while,” Mona whispered into the boy’s ear. “If Daddy asks where I am, tell him I went out shopping.” Bobby furrowed his brows. “So, where exactly are you going?” “Shopping for groceries.” Mona waved at Bobby and said, “Call me if there

    Before Mona could explain, Joan angrily swung a slap at her face. Fortunately, Mona dodged it in time, but Joan’s long nails left three cuts on her tender neck. “Ouch!” Mona touched her neck and felt the blood on her fingers. She insisted strongly to Joan, “Joan, Sunny has been dead for five years. Even if she’s still alive, she’s definitely older than the girl outside. Wake up! Kids grow up!” Joan instantly woke up from her frenzied trance. As far as she remembered, Sunny was five years old when she passed and that was the only image in her mind. Now that five years had passed, even if Sunny was alive, she would be older than the girl that she just saw. Joan’s feelings plunged into the abyss when she realized it was all a mistake. She collapsed on her knees and buried her face in her face. She drowned in pain and self-blame and even cried silently. As a mother and woman herself, Mona felt Joan’s pain. She knew the truth but could not tell Joan because this whole thing was

    “Really?” Ginny grinned and wore a profound look on her face. “But I heard Joan crying, saying that she saw her child in there.” Mona frowned. She asked coldly, “Do you like to poke your nose into people’s affairs? From what perspective are you asking the question?” She was a guest of the house, yet she always overstepped the boundaries. She might be a guest but deep down, she was an immoral thief. “Alright. I guess I overstepped my boundaries.” Ginny shrugged. She had one more glance at the abandoned house further away. She refused to believe that Mona was uncertain about a huge secret being hidden inside. Mona glared at Ginny. It seemed like Ginny’s knowledge of the abandoned house was limited for now. “Why are you here?” “I’m taking a walk.” “There are a lot of places you can walk here, and you chose to come here to an abandoned building?” “I’m strangely adventurous. I heard it’s haunted, so I wanted to have a look.” Mona pursed her lips. “Be my guest. I’m out.”

    The couple was tired after a time of bonding, and they lay on the wicker chair, closing their eyes before slipping into dreamland. Sometime later, Thaddeus felt a chill and opened his eyes. His T-shirt was wet, and Bobby and Millie were spraying water at him with water guns. The youngest child was nearby too in her stroller. She suckled on a pacifier and watched the bustle. “Where’s your mommy?” Thaddeus shuffled his hair and looked around, searching for Mona. “Freeze, Daddy. We have held Mommy captive. Surrender yourself to us.” Acting like the boss, Millie pointed her massive water gun at her daddy. Thaddeus had indulged his eldest daughter so much that the girl would only have things her way. Nevertheless, Thaddeus played along since it was only a game. He knew his children well. Millie took after Mona and was shrewd. Still, Millie would be on her best behavior when in public. “Hurry up and surrender, Daddy. Put your hands up, and we will release Mommy.” Millie poked

    It was a cooling breeze for the Summer as flowers bloomed in the garden of Fontaine Residence. Mona rested on a wicker chair under the wine arbor, holding in hand the latest issue of the weekly design magazine, with her face on the cover. In the photo, she held a trophy up on the stage of a design competition, standing out amidst the radiant background. Since the birth of her youngest, Mona took a month off for rest before picking up her passion again and returning to the world of design. Recently, she won first place in an international design competition and found fame. Mona was happy with her life and enjoyed the rich and peaceful state of things. She had time to herself for once during the weekend, so she found a quiet spot to enjoy time alone while the kids had a nap. The sunlight shone over Mona through the leaves, basking her in warmth. She let out a yawn and closed her eyes for a nap. Thaddeus walked out of the house and saw the woman enjoying the moment of bliss. The t

    “Mommy, did the baby kick you today?” Millie wobbled her way over and placed her hand on Mona’s belly. She could feel the baby stirring inside her mommy’s stomach. Millie was pleasantly surprised. “The baby kicked me! Mommy, is the baby swimming inside your belly?” “Yeah. The baby is kicking.” Mona affectionately caressed her belly. The fetus had been kicking and rolling a lot more lately, so she could not get much sleep. The tall and strong man drew near and looked tenderly at Mona. His husky voice lingered in Mona’s ear. “Weren’t you craving strawberries? I placed an order, and the fruit is being airlifted here as we speak. It’ll arrive tonight.” “Yay.” Mona was gleeful. Since the beginning of her pregnancy, she had become quite fussy and craved the strangest food. She wanted caviar from Japan, cookies from France, and strawberries from the highlands. Anything she asked for would be transported fresh to the house the next day.The man had taken good care of her during her en

    “No. I won’t let myself go.” The man huffed heavily after finishing his sit-ups. Then, he rolled out of bed and got changed in the walk-in closet. Mona stared at the man’s well-toned back, gasping at his body upkeep. People would probably have a hard time believing he was a father of three. With that in mind, Mona became aware of a potential threat. She got up and drew close to the man. “You’re responsible for taking care of the baby once the child is born.” Thaddeus straightened his tie. “Alright. I can do that. I want to be present in the baby’s life and your pregnancy. You should rest at home once your belly gets bigger. I’ll handle Bobby and Millie’s school run, okay?” The man pinched Mona’s face dotingly. “Now you’re talking. Are you heading out?” Mona got up on her tiptoes to brush off the dust from his shoulders. “Yeah. I need to sort out a lot of paperwork.” “I wrote down notes of the meeting I attended on your behalf a few days ago.” Mona walked out to retrieve a

    Thaddeus was in the hospital for a week before he was discharged. The election day for the successor of the Fontaine Group was two weeks later, but Thaddeus had not made a full recovery in his legs. He remained in a wheelchair and persisted in his daily physiotherapy. Mona had a room freed up in Fontaine Residence for Thaddeus’ rehabilitation. A specialized doctor would come around the house every day to help Thaddeus with his recovery. Thaddeus was a strong man to fight through the pain in his physiotherapy sessions. That day, Mona watched as the workers hung a decorative painting on the wall in the hallway. She ordered paintings of her preference and had them shipped from abroad. Mona instructed the workers to put it up, not paying attention to the wobbly painting that had been hung behind her. The painting was about to hit her from the back. Thaddeus was exiting the rehabilitation room when he caught sight of the danger. Getting up from his wheelchair, Thaddeus took large stri

    The few pictures of Mona and Victor at the height of a tussle gave the impression that they were having an intimate moment. Thaddeus went through the photos with a look of disdain. “So you stood there and pretended to take pictures of me to show me these? You set my wife up with another man to tell me she was cheating on me?” It was not hard to guess the game the paparazzi were playing, but who was he trying to fool? The man was dumbstruck, as it never occurred to him that Thaddeus could see through him. It had taken the three of them to come up with the idea. However, it had not taken much for Thaddeus to foil their plan. Mona let out a relieved smile. She thought that Thaddeus would be furious at the look of the pictures and had prepared herself to give a long explanation. She was surprised that Thaddeus quickly saw through the attempt to drive them apart. Their relationship was solid, and no one could come between them. Mona thought to herself with glee when she took

    Mona stood in front of Thaddeus, blocking his face as she confronted the paparazzi who took their picture. “Hand over the camera!” “There’s nothing in the camera. Besides, it’s my personal property. Why should I give it to you?” “You clearly took a picture of my husband. You have some nerve to say there’s nothing.” Mona grabbed the man by the wrist and lifted her foot to kick. Thaddeus grabbed her wrist to stop her. “You’re pregnant. Think about the child.” Thaddeus pulled Mona back, leaving himself exposed to the paparazzi. “Why do you want to photograph me? Do you want to see me in a wheelchair? Take a picture then.” Thaddeus pulled a straight face. His nonchalant gaze spoke of intimidation. Dumbstruck, the paparazzi looked at Thaddeus’ legs and smiled dryly. “What happened to your legs, Mr. Fontaine?” Thaddeus did not answer. However, his dark eyes flicked chillingly as he looked murderously at the paparazzi. Even in a wheelchair, Thaddeus did not have to say anythi

    With the help of the two caretakers, Thaddeus sat in the wheelchair. He had overcome his emotions and pulled himself together. His mind was clear as he sorted out what he should do next. Thaddeus called the assistant into the room and laid out the following plan. “I won’t attend any media interviews before the election, but I won’t disappear from the public eye either. I don’t want to give the press something to talk about. My wife will represent me. Going forward, whatever she says or does will be considered my own. She has the authority to attend all corporate conferences, big or small.” Mona dropped her jaw in shock. She was to attend company meetings and speak on his behalf. It was trying to make the impossible happen. On second thought, Thaddeus must have his reasons to do so. She had the confidence to do a good job anyway. The assistant took note of everything Thaddeus said. The Fontaine Group was about to choose its next leader, and with Thaddeus still in recovery, the

    “It’s okay. That’s normal after surgery. The doctor gave me a heads-up. Since it’s a brain operation, you might have damage to the motor nerve. With the help of physiotherapy, you’ll be back to running in no time.” Mona consoled Thaddeus. Thaddeus lifted his hands and gave Mona a gentle push. “Leave.” Mona froze. She looked at the man who was fine a second ago, not knowing what to do. “Can you leave? I need some time alone,” Fixing his gaze on Mona, Thaddeus spoke callously. “Okay. I’ll be right outside if you need me.” It dawned on Mona why the man was persistent in driving her away. He did not want her to see him at his worst. In a way, he was trying to protect his pride and dignity as a man. However, they were a married couple. Mona would never turn her back on him. Mona could understand the man’s vulnerability and his feelings at the moment. Hence, she said nothing and quietly left the ward to give Thaddeus the time and space to sort his emotions.
