When the meeting ended, Damien and Abel arrived back to the company office and were also accompanied by Rowan. As they approached the lobby, they noticed Regina standing at the reception while filling out a form. Damien paused as she turned her head to look at them suddenly. Among the three friends, Rowan had always shared a closer bond with Regina and seeing her here made him happy instantly.“Hey, what are you doing here?” Rowan greeted her as his face lighting up with a wide smile.Regina responded softly, her gaze lingering on Damien for a moment. “I am here to apply for the competition.”“That is great!” Rowan exclaimed. “I’m certain you will win this! Your company is already doing fantastic work.” He turned towards Damien, his enthusiasm was at peak. “You already know the winner, Damien.”Damien simply stood there while saying nothing and maintaining his neutral expression. Abel stepped in with his curious and a little playful tone. “Regina, I don’t understand you. In this age o

Behind Damien, Rowan and Abel were also standing and observing the scene. Rowan did not acknowledge Anna’s presence, and turned to Abel. "I’m getting late," he muttered, "See you soon."Once Rowan left, Abel stepped closer to Anna, his face brightening with a smile. "It’s great seeing you, partner." He enveloped her in a warm hug and added, "How long has it been? Almost a decade since we last met?"Anna returned the hug, her eyes softened at his old and kind attitude. "How are you, Abel?" she asked.Abel shrugged nonchalantly. "Well, I’m just surviving." He then gestured toward the door. "Care to join your old friend for a coffee?"Anna nodded without hesitation.They found themselves in a coffee shop nearby and sat at a secluded corner table. It had been years since they had seen each other. As they sipped their coffee, Anna said, "What’s up with Rowan?"Abel let out a long sigh, shaking his head. "Same old drama," he said. "Regina is still chasing Damien, and Damien, despite everythi

“Damien Callahan! Get out of my room!” Damien snapped out of his stupor, still looking at her. His reaction was slow and dazed. She grabbed a pillow from the bed and threw it at him.“Get out!” She screamed.“Yeah…” Damien muttered as he walked out of the room, still in a daze.She quickly locked the door behind him, leaving Damien standing outside while he blinked in confusion. As he leaned against the wall, his mind unwillingly replayed what he had just seen. Her wet hair was framing her face while a droplet of water was trailing from the tip of her nose to her plump lips, before sliding down her chin, her neck and finally coming to rest on the curve of her chest. He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. In high school, she had always been beautiful, but now she looked like Aphrodite herself. A warmth spread through his body, making him suddenly uncomfortable in his own skin. He tugged at his tie and unbuttoned his shirt collar, feeling the heat rising in him. He needed ai

On the other hand, Ronan smiled with satisfaction as he looked at his watch. He wasn't going to let anyone help Anastasia Spencer. That woman should have thought twice before challenging Regina. He had pulled some strings to ensure that none of the companies Anastasia approached would support her. Across the entire country, no company was willing to back Anastasia Spencer.This was Anastasia's first defeat. If she thought she could come here and dream of defeating Regina, she was very wrong. Ronan Arnello would never let her win this time. It was Regina's time to shine.Meanwhile, on Damien's side..."Boss! She completed the formalities," the secretary announced.Damien walked over to see Anastasia's application details. His eyes narrowed at the company supporting his wife's candidacy."A&A Fashion House."A few hours later…A woman was walking through the office of A&A fashion house, her heels were clicking against the marbled floors as she walked forward.

“Where is Adeline?” Austin asked. “I have been calling her and she is not taking my call.”Anastasia shook her head in helplessness. Ah, Adeline. The trouble maker. She wondered what trouble the girl might have created again. When Austin became successful, Adeline knew that she had no pressure to do well in school. Austin was three years older than her and one day she announced that she was moving to France to achieve her dream of becoming a model. Both Anastasia and Austin were shocked to hear that she had such a dream because Adeline never talked about it. In the end, Adeline told them that she sucked in school and she had no talent to survive in this world. The only thing that she possessed was beauty. Extraordinary beauty and she would rather use it. Three years in Paris and Adeline became a model. Not a runway model but a commercial model. Adeline Kingsley is a well known celebrity not just in Europe but in the entire world with more than fifty million followers on social media

Back at the mansion, it was dinner time. Anastasia was there to have a meal with Damien, and after that, she had to go to meet Austin. She needed a way to tell him that she would be leaving home at this time for an important meeting. Meanwhile, he was curious about how she managed to get A&A Fashion House behind her back. They were one of the biggest fashion and jewelry brands in Europe and were now rapidly expanding in North America. It was not easy for a no name artist to represent them. He always knew that she had some tricks upto her sleeves but what are they. She said, “I have a meeting soon. I need to go out.”He did not ask her where she was having such late night meeting. He nodded and asked about the matter that was pressing on his mind. “You submitted the application.”She said, “Yes, I did.” After a while, she could not help but asked him, “Damien, do you also think like others that I am doing this to gain your attention and unnecessarily fight with Regina or sabotage he

As Anna was leaving, Mrs Luna handed her a key and said, "Master wants you to keep the car."Anna was really surprised to hear that and she asked, "He is giving me his car?"After everything, she did not know that he would give him a car. It was not that he was stingy but he did not care for her. Knowing that he took a step ahead in her direction made her feel so many things at once. Mrs Luna nodded at the girl who was dazed to assure her that it was true. Anna quickly grabbed the car keys and ran outside where Damien's Rolls Royce was parked. She laughed and grinned as she opened the door and slipped inside but not before yelling, "My husband is the best in the whole wide world!" She really loved the car! Not because it was expensive but because it was his favourite car and he did not like to share it. Inside his room, Damien muttered, "Materialistic girl! How can she be so happy over something so fleeting and materialistic?"His phone rang after some time and it was Abel who was c

From behind him, Ronan’s voice broke the tension. "You were actually thinking of trusting her, weren't you?" He smirked, continuing, "Damien, you need to open your eyes. Regina is right here and has always has been there for you. She is the one who loves you truly and yet you keep ignoring her. Do you know how much you are hurting Regina? She stayed by your side when Anastasia left you and this is how you repay her?”Abel who had been standing next to Ronan turned with a glare. "Ronan, stop poisoning his mind. Damien knows what he wants. And for heaven's sake, stop trying to push Regina onto him every chance you get."Ronan scoffed, shaking his head. "Anastasia Spencer is nothing but trouble. She is a liar and a cheat. Look at her! Flirting with another man just after professing her love for Damien! She is no good, Damien! Regina said you broke off your engagement because of Anastasia, and now look how she is cosying up to someone else. Regina is a saint compared to that slut—"Before

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,

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

“Is he okay?” Regina asked the doctor, her voice was filled with both amusement and embarrassment. She couldn’t believe Abel had fainted when he found out about her pregnancy. He had always acted so tough, talking like he could handle anything, but when it came down to it, he was all talk, like a paper tiger.The doctor reassured her, “He is fine. He just needs a little time to recover.” Then, the doctor seemed to shift focus. “Miss Spencer, I need to talk to you about something. I was reviewing your family’s medical history and noticed that you made a mistake when filling out a form.”Regina felt a knot in her stomach. She hadn’t been feeling well that day and maybe, just maybe, she had made the mistake in a hurry or out of confusion.The doctor continued, “It’s no problem. Let me get the correct information, and I will update it in the system.” The doctor took out a notepad and pen, ready to write down the right details.Regina nodded, trying to shake off her unease. “Okay,” she sai
