With breakfast wrapping up, everyone split up to handle different tasks for Adeline’s new house. Austin called the interior designer to make sure the house reflected Adeline’s personal style. Abel and Caleb found work around the house, checking in on the progress as the workers worked. Meanwhile, Anastasia, Damien, and Adeline headed to the mall to buy things for the baby’s nursery.As they walked through the store, Adeline turned to Anastasia, her tone thoughtful. “Anna, what colour should we decorate the baby’s nursery?”Damien, who had been walking beside them, raised an eyebrow. “Why are you asking her? You can decide for yourself.”Adeline smiled at him, then turned back to Anastasia. “You see, Anna already knows the baby’s gender. And I have been so overwhelmed with the pregnancy that I forgot we need to think about the nursery, too. My brain is stuck between blue and pink. So, I thought I would ask for her opinion.”Damien said, “You know the gender?”Anastasia nodded. Damien

Adeline's new house was beautifully decorated, and the nursery was ready for the baby. After visiting the doctor the day before, she was told that labour could happen any time now. Thankfully, her nausea had finally stopped and for the first time in a long while, she felt like a normal pregnant woman. She was finally able to enjoy her pregnancy. Today, she asked Anastasia to go to a specific restaurant to satisfy a craving she had been having. Anastasia wasn’t sure, but she agreed to accompany her best friend. As they sat at their table enjoying their food, a sudden figure appeared near them.With a wide smile, the little girl jumped toward Adeline and exclaimed, “Princess Elsa!”Adeline’s eyes widened in recognition. “Destiny?”The girl grinned, wrapping her arms around Adeline for a hug. “Des Des likes Princess Elsa!”Adeline laughed softly. “Where is your mom and dad?”“Momma is in the kitchen,” Destiny answered, her voice full of childlike excitement. “Daddy is out working.

"Addy?" Anastasia asked with a grin.Adeline’s face lit up as she grinned back. "I’m ready."With that, the two of them took Destiny to Adeline’s new house, where the fun truly began. For the next few hours, they turned the house into a magical princess paradise. There were tiaras, balloons, and sparkles everywhere. Destiny couldn’t stop giggling as her laughter filled the room as she bounced from one princess game to the next. Cake, toys, and more fun followed, creating a dream come true for little Destiny. Adeline couldn’t help but join in while smiling and laughing with her. But after hours of excitement, even the liveliest of princesses needed rest. Destiny, completely worn out, curled up on the couch and finally fell asleep along with a tired and very pregnant Adeline.Anastasia had other plans.Summer had sent Destiny’s nanny and bodyguard along to make sure she was always safe and well cared for. But Anastasia wasn’t about to let the fun end just yet. She carefully picked up the

"Go and hug your big brother," Anastasia said, her voice filled with warmth.Destiny hesitated for a moment as her tiny feet were shuffling uncertainly. But when she saw the excitement in Anastasia’s eyes, she couldn’t hold back. She threw her arms wide open with a huge smile lighting up her face and without wasting another second, she ran straight to Damien who quickly stood up from his chair with his arms ready to embrace her.As Destiny reached him, she leapt into his arms and he bent down to scoop her up while holding her close. The soft, sweet scent of baby shampoo filled his nose and in that moment, Damien was overwhelmed with emotions. His heart swelled and his eyes welled up with unexpected tears. He didn’t know why, but holding his little sister in his arms made him feel a joy he hadn’t realized he had been missing.He pulled her tightly against his neck while savouring the moment.Destiny was still holding his face gently in her small hands as she stared at him with those bi

Anastasia reminded him a while later, “We have to take her back to her parents. Don’t forget that it’s her birthday today.”Damien mumbled, “Can’t we fight her father for custody? We could raise her.”Anastasia laughed. “Oh, baby… we can’t. She will need her parents when the ‘big brother rush’ wears off.”Damien muttered, “Fine.”After a while, he asked, “Shall we take her to see Caleb? He will be very upset if he finds out we spent the whole day with Destiny and didn’t even take him to meet his little sister.”Anastasia nodded. “You are right, but he is at the old mansion. How can we take Destiny there?”Damien asked, “Why can’t we?”“Your mom and grandmother... What if they say something bad about the little girl? It’s her birthday. I don’t want to hurt her,” Anastasia said.Damien replied, “They wouldn’t dare!”After some time, they reached the Callahan mansion. The staff was shocked to see Damien carrying a little girl inside, along with Anastasia. When the old madam found out tha

The old woman swiftly manoeuvred her wheelchair toward the group while shooing away the brats. “Go away!” she barked. Then, her demeanour shifted dramatically. Grabbing Destiny’s hand, she turned syrupy sweet, her voice dripping with exaggerated affection. “Oh, my princess! Your dad is such a terrible man! How could he hide my precious grandchild from me? A girl! A girl from the Callahan family! And so beautiful just like your grandma.” She wailed dramatically, tears threatening to spill. “Oh, how I missed you!”Anastasia stood frozen completely stunned at the dramatics that the old lady displayed.Destiny, visibly uncomfortable, glanced around for help and murmured, “Big brother…”Damien leaned down and said gently, “Des Des, this is our grandma. Go on, greet her properly.”Destiny hesitated but eventually said, “Hello, Grandma.”The old woman’s tears began to flow. “That horrible man! He kept my granddaughter from me all this time! My precious granddaughter!”Feeling sorry for her, D

"Let's talk, son," Darcy said again as they stood in the quiet garden. The cool evening air surrounded them but the silence between them was heavy. He watched his son while knowing Damien wouldn’t speak first. With a sigh, he decided to start.Damien looked at him, distantly. "What is there to talk about?" he asked, his voice flat, carrying both irritation and curiosity.Darcy held his gaze. "A lot, Damien. There is a lot we need to talk about."Damien folded his arms. "Like what?"Darcy sighed with both sadness and frustration. "Like why you won’t answer my calls, my messages, my letters, like nothing. You have been ignoring me for years. Don’t I deserve to know why?"Damien stayed quiet, his face giving nothing away. Deep down, he felt a small pang of guilt, but he pushed it aside. He had avoided his father for almost ten years, keeping their paths from crossing. Facing Darcy meant facing old pain and he wasn’t ready to deal with it. He was just trying to protect his heart by hurtin

"How did it go?" Anastasia asked gently, her eyes scanning Damien's face for clues."I... I don’t know," Damien replied, his expression clouded with uncertainty."Did you talk?" she pressed, her curiosity was spilling over, though she tried to keep her tone calm."Kind of?" he said hesitantly, rubbing the back of his neck.Anastasia’s excitement spilt through despite her restraint. "Damien, I’m dying of curiosity here. What happened?"Damien let out a sigh and whispered, "Actually… we started screaming at each other, getting really angry. Then… he started crying."Her eyes widened. "He cried? Did you hug him? Console him?""No...?" Damien answered slowly, his uncertainty was almost childlike.She blinked, clearly horrified. "What did you do when your father started crying?"He shrugged as though the answer was obvious. "I just stood there."Anastasia let out an exasperated groan, throwing her hands up. "Goddamn it, Damien! That is not the kind of example you should be setting for Dest

Anastasia stepped out of the banquet hall and found Regina sitting on a bench in the expansive garden of the Callahan mansion. Regina who was usually poised and sophisticated held a paper plate with a large slice of chocolate cake and was eating it with an unabashed delight that seemed out of character.For a moment, Anastasia simply stared at her but her curiosity was piqued by the rare sight.Regina’s gaze lifted and when she noticed Anastasia, she extended the plate with her used plastic fork. “Destiny was right. The birthday cake was awful, but this—” she gestured toward the cake with a satisfied sigh, “This tastes like heaven.”Anastasia raised an eyebrow.Regina grinned and said, “I walked an entire mile in these heels to get this cake from a bakery. The reviews didn’t lie. It’s worth every step.”Anastasia gaped. “You walked a mile? In those heels? Why didn’t you just tell Abel?”Regina shrugged nonchalantly. “I didn’t want to disturb him. He was with his friends. Besides, I ne

Regina replied softly, “I wish I could answer that.”Abel’s expression tightened as he whispered, “Claire isn’t your birth mother?”What on earth did he just see? Wait, she let him see this information? Did it mean, she really trust him with her life? Before he could get happy, she began saying. Regina shook her head. The DNA test had confirmed what she never imagined—Claire was not her birth mother. She didn’t know how to process it.She said, “The doctor told me there was a possibility I was adopted. Since I recently did a DNA test with my dad, I was certain that Harold is my biological father. All my life, Claire told me Harold wasn’t my father when they both knew the truth. Then suddenly, the doctor pointed out that with their blood types, they couldn’t have had a child with AB+. I was racking my brain, trying to figure it all out. Finally, I decided to test my DNA against the rest of my family.”Regina took a deep breath before continuing. “My DNA matched with my father... but,
Contract Marriage: The Billionaire's First Love What just happened?
After the cake-cutting ceremony, Regina stood far away from the crowd when a little girl approached her with a plate full of cake slices. The girl stopped near her and said, “Hello, this is for you.”Regina looked at the little princess, who had become the apple of everyone’s eye tonight. She crouched down to the girl’s level and said, “Thank you. Did you bring this for me?”Destiny turned around and pointed at Anastasia. “Anna asked me to give cake to everyone who didn’t get any.”Regina asked, “Did you give cake to everyone?”Destiny shook her head. “No, just you.”Regina chuckled. “Thank you.” She took the cake and bit into it. “Oh, it’s delicious.”Destiny made a face and said, “No, it’s not.” Leaning closer, she whispered in Regina’s ear, “My mommy makes cakes with real sugar and cream. This one has fake sugar and cream.”Regina laughed again. The cake was low-fat and low-sugar, but since she rarely had sugar or dairy, she didn’t notice the difference. She said, “I will try a rea

“Why is she here?” Anastasia asked, her voice low but sharp as her eyes fixed on Eleanor standing confidently in the hall. The nerve of that woman to show up at her house after trying to hurt her family.Damien leaned in slightly, keeping his tone casual. “She is Chris’s plus one.”Anastasia exhaled, quickly understanding the situation. “Okay. I will be on my best behaviour.”Though she wasn’t one to bow to others’ opinions, Anastasia had been making extra efforts lately. Damien’s family hadn’t fully warmed up to her, and for her husband’s sake, she was resolved to leave them with no reason to criticise. She wasn’t naturally a people-pleaser, but she knew that making peace with his relatives meant comfort for him and that mattered.Damien wrapped an arm around her, pulling her into a side hug. “My wife is always on her best behaviour. It is just other people who know how to get under her skin.”Anastasia smiled faintly, conceding, “You are not wrong.”He chuckled, then flagged down a

The sound of laughter and clinking glasses filled the air as more guests arrived and the mansion came alive with enthusiasm of the guests. Abel walked alongside Regina, his hand resting lightly on her lower back for support. She looked radiant in a sleek black evening gown, her poise and grace masking any signs of her pregnancy. Her heels clicked softly against the marble floor, commanding attention with every step.“If you are not feeling well, we can leave,” Abel said, his tone laced with concern. His eyes lingered on her, searching for any sign of discomfort.“I’m fine, Abel,” Regina reassured him with a faint smile. Despite her visible effort to appear composed, Abel remained unconvinced.“You have been pushing yourself too hard,” he pressed. “I don’t want you getting sick again.”Regina’s gaze softened as she turned to him. She understood his worry as the past month had been challenging. Her health had taken a toll, resulting his mother to insist she stay with them until she rega

Grandmother sighed and said, “They didn’t listen to us when we didn’t want them to get married. They went ahead and did it anyway. Now, when we ask them to marry, they are ignoring us again.”Suddenly, Adeline added while trying to get under someone’s skin, “What about having the ceremony on their wedding anniversary?”Claire and Carolyn shot Adeline sharp looks but Grandmother seemed pleased by the idea. “That sounds like a nice idea,” she said eagerly.Damien and Anastasia exchanged glances before responding, “We will give you an answer soon.”Grandmother nodded, a hopeful smile on her face. “Hopefully, it will be a good answer.”At that moment, there was a bit of commotion in the party and a maid quietly whispered into the old lady’s ear, “Mr. Callahan is here.”The old lady’s eyes sparkled as she turned to see her son entering the room, accompanied by his wife and daughter. He looked just as he had ten years ago. Perhaps even more cheerful now. His presence was as captivating as e

It was the 80th birthday of Matriarch Callahan, and dignitaries from across the globe had flown in to celebrate the grand occasion. The weight of organizing such a significant gala rested on the capable shoulders of Damien and Anastasia, leaving them with no room for error.In the backseat of the luxury car, Claire sat poised like the picture-perfect wife, adorned in the finest clothes and glittering jewels. Her carefully composed demeanour, however, was a façade.Harold glanced at her sternly. “Be on your best behaviour tonight.”If not for the important gala tonight, she would still be in the lock-up at Spencer's house. He could not come to Anastasia’s in-law's house without his picture-perfect wife by his side. This would raise questions among people of their high society. Claire pouted, leaning toward him in offence. “Hubby, don’t you trust me?”He didn’t hesitate. “Not after what you did to Regina. No.”Her expression hardened but she quickly masked it with a fake smile. “I was

Damien noticed the furrowed brow and the unmistakable worry etched across Anastasia's face as she stared at the screen before her. He stepped closer, his voice calm but laced with concern. “What is wrong? Are you worried about something?”Anastasia turned to him, her expression conflicted. “Regina is investigating my mom,” she said, her tone tinged with disbelief.Damien’s brow shot up in surprise. “Regina? Investigating Fiona?” He tilted his head slightly, puzzled. “Why? She has never shown any interest in Fiona before. What has changed all of a sudden?”Anastasia shook her head. “I don’t know why she would want to dig into my mom’s past. It doesn’t make sense. Regina’s behaviour has been odd lately, like not sticking to her usual script.”Damien’s frown deepened. “Is she only looking into Fiona?”“Not just her,” Anastasia explained, leaning back in her chair. “She is investigating everyone. Fiona, Claire, and even Claire’s past before she married Harold. She is trying to piece toget

Later, Abel walked into the hospital room and found Regina sitting patiently on the bed, scrolling through her iPad. He smiled hesitantly. “Hi.”Regina looked up, setting the device aside. “Hey, how are you feeling?” she asked gently.Abel rubbed the back of his neck, his expression conflicted. “You are probably thinking the baby’s father is completely hopeless. I’m sorry. I was just... startled. So many scenarios were running through my mind. I never imagined I would end up in the same situation as Ronan.”Regina raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in her voice. “Is it really that bad?”“No…” he said quickly, shaking his head. “It’s just... I don’t know. I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel. There are so many emotions hitting me all at once, and... I’m sorry, Regina.”She smiled warmly at him, her tone soothing. “I understand. Don’t feel guilty. You didn’t run away, and that is more than enough for me.”Abel sighed in relief, her words easing some of his tension. “Thank you for t
