Chapter 76: A Change of Heart

Reese paced back and forth in her bedroom, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. Every few minutes, she would sigh, glance at her phone, then shake her head as if shaking away whatever thought had taken hold of her.

Chelsea, who had been lounging on Reese’s bed, watched with growing amusement. "You know, for someone who claims she wants nothing to do with Gerald, you sure look like someone going through a crisis over him."

Reese stopped in her tracks, narrowing her eyes. "I am not having a crisis."

Chelsea raised an eyebrow. "No? Then why are you acting like a lovesick teenager?"

Reese huffed, running a hand through her hair. "I just... I don’t know, okay? He keeps appearing in my life, and now he’s leaving. It’s just... weird."

Chelsea smirked. "Weird? Or something else?"

Reese shot her a glare before flopping onto the bed. "You're impossible."

After a few moments of silence, Reese finally admitted, "Gerald is leaving tonight."

    Chapter 77: A ReunionThe ocean waves crashed gently against the shore as Reese stood on the sand, her heart pounding with urgency. The salty breeze tangled in her hair, but she hardly noticed as she scanned the vast stretch of the beach, hoping to find him.She had checked the docks, the nearby restaurants, even asked around the hotels lining the beachfront. Every time she showed a picture of Gerald, she was met with the same response,no one had seen him.Frustration and desperation clawed at her. What if she was too late? What if he had already left? The thought sent a sharp pang through her chest.Reese clenched her phone in her hand, her fingers trembling slightly. She had never chased after a man before, had never allowed herself to be so vulnerable. But this wasn’t just any man. This was Gerald.Taking a deep breath, she turned towards the ocean, her eyes blurring with unshed tears. Maybe it was foolish to come here. Maybe she had miscalculated everything.Then, just as she was

    Chapter 1: IN SHOCK Looking at her reflection in the rearview mirror, Chelsea smoothed out the curls around her face. She had a smug expression on her face and she seemed really tired. Her phone vibrated on the car seat beside her, and she rolled her eyes.It was Mr Alvin and of course he wanted everything prim and proper. Just as she was about to get out of the car,a voice coming from behind her suddenly shocked her. "Chelsea!" - There is no time to talk. Mr. Alvin awaits, besides he has been calling and you didn't bother to pick up.” She glanced upwards and saw Vivian, her colleague, eagerly motioning for her to come over. Standing by the entrance, she appeared frazzled as always, holding her tablet. "I need to get my bag from the other side,I'll be right with you." she hastily informed .

    Chapter 2: PainChelsea remained motionless, embarrassment burning her cheeks. Her hands shook as she rubbed them on her apron, desperate to calm herself, but her stomach churned violently. The room felt suffocatingly quiet, as though all the air had been sucked out. She could feel eyes on her, gazes laced with judgment, pity, or even amusement.Her eyes darted to Adams, pleading silently for him to speak, to say something that could make this nightmare bearable. For years, he had been the man she adored, the one she believed would always stand by her. Surely, he wouldn’t just sit there and let this happen.“Adams?” she finally managed to whisper, her voice trembling. “Are you not going to say anything?”He glanced at her, and for a fleeting moment, she saw a glimpse of the man she used to know. But it vanished almost instantly, replaced by a cold, disdainful smirk.“Why should I?” he asked, his tone sharp and cutting. “Chelsea, take a good look at yourself. You’re pathetic. You look

    Chapter 3: Moving AwayThe drive to Reese’s house felt endless, as though the road stretched longer with every heavy thought that crossed Chelsea’s mind. She gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning pale as the weight of the day's events pressed against her chest. Every moment replayed vividly—the wedding, Adam’s cutting words, and the disdain in his eyes. She blinked hard, trying to keep the tears from spilling again, but the sting of betrayal was too raw.Reese’s house came into view—a sleek, modern structure nestled in the quiet suburbs. It had always been a haven for Chelsea, a place where life felt less complicated. She parked the car and sat there for a moment, taking in the sight. How would she explain everything to Reese? How could she put into words the humiliation, the heartbreak, and the anger?After a deep breath, she stepped out and walked to the front door. Before she could knock, the door swung open, and there stood Reese, her face instantly clouding wit

    Chapter 4: Fresh StartAs soon as Chelsea and Reese stepped off the plane, the intense heat of Columbia greeted them like a warm, smothering blanket. It was stifling yet oddly rejuvenating, as though the sweltering air carried with it the promise of a new beginning—a fresh start. Chelsea shielded her eyes against the bright sun, taking in her surroundings, while Reese appeared perfectly composed, her sunglasses shielding her from the glare as they made their way toward a waiting vehicle.The journey from the airport was swift, the city zipping past in a blur of bright colors, bustling streets, and vibrant energy. Columbia was unlike New York, brimming with a unique charm that felt chaotic and alive all at once. Soon, their vehicle pulled up to a towering gate that opened slowly, revealing a sprawling mansion on the other side.“Is this your residence?” Chelsea asked, her jaw nearly dropping.Reese turned to her, a wide grin spreading across her face. “Yep.

    Chapter 5: GAMES BEGINThe room was cloaked in silence as Liam strode into his office, the air carrying the unmistakable scent of expensive cologne and authority. Shawn, his right-hand man, was close behind, his expression stoic as he matched Liam’s pace. Two security guards trailed them, carrying a black box, which they placed on the glass-top table in front of Liam.Liam gestured toward the box without a word, his face hard as granite. "Open it. Tell me what’s inside."Shawn hesitated for a brief moment, then carefully lifted the lid, his eyes narrowing as he scanned the contents. He suddenly froze, shock flashing across his usually composed features. He looked back up at Liam, his mouth opening as if to speak but nothing coming out.Liam raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Shawn’s reaction. "Well? Out with it."Shawn swallowed, his voice tense. "Boss, you should take a look for yourself."Liam’s eyes darkened as he moved closer to the box. He glanced inside, his jaw tightening as he pr

    Chapter 6: Happy moments Liam stepped into his mother’s house, the familiar scent of lavender and freshly baked bread filling the air. As he walked through the hallways, memories from his childhood echoed with every step. It felt grounding, even if the weight of the day lingered.Just as he reached the living room, a young woman approached him, her smile polite and composed. “Mr. Liam,” she greeted with a nod. “I’m Vanessa, your grandmother’s nurse.”“Good to meet you, Vanessa,” he replied, offering a respectful nod in return. “How has she been?”“She’s been resting well, but she’s had a bit of a rough day,” Vanessa explained, her tone softening. “Nothing alarming, just the usual ups and downs. She’ll be happy to know you’re here.”He gave a slight nod. “Thank you for taking care of her.”With that, he moved towards his grandmother’s room. As he entered, the dim light cast a warm glow over her frail form tucked into the bed, her breathing slow and steady. He approached her quietly, k

His mind was already occupied with the ongoing company projects when the door swung open. His mother, Olivia Hudson, walked in, her expression unreadable.He leaned back in his chair, watching her as she gracefully took a seat across from him. "To what do I owe this surprise visit, Mother?"Marina folded her arms, her gaze sharp. "I wanted to talk to you about your father’s health."Adams’ fingers stopped moving. He straightened slightly. "His health?"She nodded. "I traced his calls—every single one of them. Ever since you found out he was dying, I became curious."His eyes narrowed. "How long have you known?""A few years," Marina admitted, her voice calm but firm. "Two years before your marriage, to be precise."Adams clenched his jaw, his mind working through the implications. "And who did you trace the calls to?"His mother took a deep breath before speaking. "Liam’s

    Chapter 74: Unfamiliar Faces and Unspoken TensionsChelsea sighed as she unlocked the front door to her apartment, exhaustion weighing down her shoulders. It had been a long day at work, and while she had expected to see Liam at the office, he hadn’t shown up. She knew why,he needed time to process what his mother had told him about his father.Dropping her bag onto the couch, she kicked off her heels and stretched, rolling the tension from her shoulders. The silence in the apartment felt strange. Usually, Reese was home by now, but the place was eerily empty.Where could she be?Shrugging, Chelsea made her way to the bedroom to freshen up. She changed into comfortable lounge wear, tying her hair up in a messy bun before heading to the kitchen. As she started gathering ingredients for dinner, the distant hum of an approaching car caught her attention.She hesitated, then walked toward the window, peeking through the curtains. A sleek black car had pulled up outside, and stepping out o

Kim asked, her voice laced with concern. "Going to meet him alone might not be the best idea. What if he’s dangerous?"Reese let out a soft chuckle, shaking her head. "Kim, I need to do this. I need to know what happened to Jeremy how he survived all these years and why he never reached out."Kim sighed, crossing her arms. "And what if his family doesn’t even know he’s alive?""Then I’ll find out the truth," Reese said firmly. She turned to face Kim. "I totally understand your concern, but I have to give this a shot. If there's even the slightest chance that I can get answers, I have to take it."Kim studied her for a moment before nodding. "Alright, but be careful. If anything feels off, call me immediately."Reese smiled. "I promise."A few minutes later, she was stepping into her car, gripping the steering w

He hadn’t been here in months, avoiding unnecessary family drama as much as possible. However, after last night’s call, he knew he couldn’t ignore his mother forever.As he stepped inside, the scent of freshly brewed coffee and warm croissants filled the air. His mother, Eleanor, sat at the dining table, gracefully sipping her tea, while his grandmother, Beatrice, flipped through a newspaper.Eleanor looked up and smiled. “Liam, you came.”He sighed, taking a seat. “You asked me to.”“Join us for breakfast,” she said, pushing a plate of food toward him.Liam hesitated for a moment but eventually picked up his fork. He wasn’t particularly hungry, but if this was a way to get the conversation going, so be it.His grandmother eyed him over her glasses. “You look tired.”“I’m fine,” he muttered.Eleanor set her cup down, looking at him intently. “Liam, I

    Chapter 71: A Taste of HurtThe next morning, Reese stretched as she got out of bed, reaching for her phone. She scrolled through her notifications and saw a text from Chelsea that had been sent late last night.Chelsea: Hey, Reese. Just wanted to let you know I’ll be spending the night at Liam’s place. Don’t wait up for me.Reese sighed, placing her phone on the nightstand. She wasn’t surprised things had been heating up between Chelsea and Liam, but something about the entire situation felt… off. Shaking the thought away, she decided to focus on something else.She picked up her phone again and dialed Kim. As soon as she answered, Reese said, “Come over. We’re going to find out who Gerald Hudson really is.”Kim hesitated for a second. “Are you sure about this? What if it’s dangerous?”Reese smirked. “That’s why you’re coming with me.”After hanging up, she moved to the kitchen, brewing herself a strong cup of coffee.

Aria, who had been standing frozen after Liam’s harsh words, turned toward her father in shock.“Dad?” she whispered, her voice barely above a breath.Charles gave her a once-over before turning his gaze to Liam. “What the hell is going on here?”Liam stood his ground, arms crossed over his chest. “You’re here to take your daughter home.”Aria’s shock morphed into rage as she turned back to Liam. “You’re really throwing me out like this? After everything? I should be here, well taken care of, but instead, you’re treating me like I mean nothing to you?”Liam’s expression didn’t waver. “That’s because you don’t mean anything to me, Aria.”She gasped, her eyes filling with tears. “You don’t mean that…”“I do,” Liam replied coldly. “And you shouldn’t bother coming back here because I’ll make sure the guards know you’re no longer welcome.”Aria clenched her fists. “You

    Chapter 69: A Distasteful SurpriseKim walked into Reese’s office with a stack of printed papers and placed them on the table. Reese, who had been staring at her computer screen in deep thought, glanced up and reached for the documents.“I did a deep search for the name Gerald Hudson,” Kim began. “But I found nothing. No records, no background, nothing that could link him to any existing family. The only thing that came close was a Hudson family that used to live in France.”Reese frowned as she skimmed through the documents. “Hudson family?”Kim nodded. “Yeah, but their only son supposedly died in a car accident twenty years ago.”Reese’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately dropped the papers and looked at Kim with a sharp intensity. “The Hudsons… I know that family. They were friends with my parents.”Kim blinked in surprise. “You do?”“Yes,” Reese said firmly. “I even knew their son—the one who supposedly died. His name was Jeremy. Except… if this Gerald Hudson is linked to them,
