"How do I look?" Charles asked, his voice a little hoarse after having wept.

Riley helped fix Charles' necktie. She checked his overall appearance, then said, "You look handsome, Dad. Mom will fall in love with you all over again."

"Ah, you don't have to lie to me. I'm your dad!" Charles grumbled.

Earlier, Charles witnessed the emotional scene between Raelyn, Riley, and Renee. He related to the pain that Raelyn felt. After all, he went through the same experience: losing a loved one and finding it after so many years.

However, what really brought him to tears was knowing he was missing out on their family moment. Charles sincerely believed he deserved to be included in their embrace, but he was concerned about how Raelyn would respond to him, mainly because Calvin and Ramona had long portrayed him as the villain in her life.

"I'm not lying, Dad. A man who can show vulnerability and emotions demonstrates emotional depth and genuineness." Riley winked and said, "I'm sure Mom will find t

    "Your office is amazing, Dad!" Riley remarked as Charles gave everyone a grand tour. To each office department, Charles also proudly announced, "Everyone, this is my real daughter, Riley."Riley put on a bright smile. She waved at the managers and staff, saying, "Good morning. It's wonderful to meet all of you."Charles could see how his employees admired Riley's charms, and the single men either blushed or were in awe in her presence. Because of this, Adrian quickly introduced himself. Adrian put his arm around Riley and said, "And I am her husband, Adrian King. We are expecting a baby."While Charles laughed, reading between the lines, Riley, Renee, and Raelyn snapped their heads at Adrian, forming varied expressions. Abner and Anthony also visited Dowel Landmasters for the first time and laughed with Charles. Raelyn wanted to try and see if she could recover her memories. Hence, Charles' first attempt was to take her to his office building, where their romance began. "As you kn

    ### FLASHBACK CONTINUATION ###“Hmmm. Don’t you just find washing dishes therapeutic?” Raelyn asked with a smile. Her eyes were closed as she lathered dishwashing soap on the crawfish bucket.Charles and Raelyn were on their third date. She had always insisted on eating dinner at the crawfish restaurant because she said it was a good value. At that point, Charles learned two additional things about Raelyn. One, she loved seafood, especially shellfish. Two, Raelyn was a bit frugal. She really liked eating for free!Charles, however, could not do it anymore. His guilt was eating him. The second time they washed dishes at the crawfish restaurant, he noticed the curious looks from the kitchen staff. He figured they were puzzled as to why a billionaire’s son would refuse to pay a small, local restaurant. So, without Raelyn’s knowledge, he decided to purchase the establishment. That way, they could eat for free until Raeyln would get tired of eating crawfish. “Yes, it is indeed therapeuti

    "Good morning, Mom," Riley greeted, raising her coffee. "Morning. Where are the men?" Raelyn asked, seeing only one man at the dining table: Abner. Abner laughed. He declared, "Oh, don't worry. I have enough testosterone to cover all the missing men."Renee was the first to burst out laughing, and Riley followed. Naturally, Raelyn also laughed with them. "Dad is meeting his lawyers at the office," Riley finally revealed after composing herself. "Adrian and Father Anthony are at Dowel Landmasters, finalizing a few plans with Kyle."After Raelyn was discharged, she lived in a hotel with Renee, but eventually, Riley convinced her to move to Charles' mansion with them. Last night was her first sleep at Charles' home, which was surprisingly comforting. "Meeting his lawyers?" Raelyn asked, a little disappointed that Charles was not around."He had filed another case against Calvin for denying your freedom over the years," Riley said. "Are you ready to see Calvin, Mom?"Hearing Calvin's

    "Wow." Riley's eyes watered, seeing her baby's progress. She turned to Adrian and asked, "Honey, are you seeing this?"Their baby's facial features were more defined. The arms and legs were fully formed, and Riley saw the baby moving its limbs."Can we already tell if it's a girl or a boy?" Adrian asked Zia. The couple were again at the King's Medical Center for Riley's prenatal. Riley was already around sixteen weeks pregnant. Zia kept moving the ultrasound probe, but eventually, she said, "I still can't see it. When the baby is eighteen to twenty weeks, it's more definite. Unless, of course, the baby is covering their sex, then it becomes a surprise for later."Riley lay in the hospital bed, thinking of her mother. With a big smile, she turned to Adrian and said, "I can't wait to tell Mom what's the gender.""God, you gotta update me, Riley! It wasn't long ago when you found your dad and now, your mom! It's just mind-blowing!" Zia reacted. "It's been hectic," Riley admitted while

    “Wait, officer. You must be mistaken. My husband wouldn’t -” Riley paused. A frown formed on her face as she clarified, “Hold on. Which husband?”“Well, lady, how many husbands do you have?” The officer inquired on the other line. Rolling her eyes, Riley answered, “Are you referring to my ex-husband? Brian Martin?”“He is your ex-husband?” The police reconfirmed. “He said you are his wife and his emergency contact.”When Riley only let out a sigh of irritation, the police reported, “We needed someone to help process his bail, but I guess he can stay in jail.”“Wait.” Riley paused. She thought about what Zia had said. She might regret it, but she figured she could speak to Brian one last time. Riley said, “I don’t know about bail, but I’ll be there.”She called Adrian and informed him of her plans. Naturally, he was mad, but Riley was determined to end Brian’s madness. She hoped that by talking to him again, he would remember all the reasons to stay away from her life. ***“Riley!” B

    Adrian received the news the following night. When the call came in, he was having an early dinner with his family, so he put his phone on speaker while setting aside his knife and fork. His contact in Sweden reported, “Mr. King, we have a name for you.”Except for Renee, everyone else stilled in anticipation. Anthony dropped his fork, staring at Adrian while Abner sucked in a deep breath. “Who?” Adrian asked firmly. “The name is Brian Martin, Sir. He said this Brian guy reached out to him from Halliport to tamper with your ski trail,” the person on the other end explained. “Elias was paid a hefty sum to carry it out.”“Brian? No,” Riley reacted. “That’s crazy.” She turned to Adrian and suggested, “Adrian, you can’t honestly believe this.”When Riley objected, Adrian couldn’t help but feel a pang in his chest. While he understood it was shocking, it upset Adrian how Riley sided with Brian. After all, it was just yesterday that she went to see her ex-husband at the police station.

    "You can check on all our transactions. You can ask my managers. I'm not fucking lying," Brian muttered. He gulped. His hands trembled as he scattered the documents on the table's surface.When mid-morning came, Brian's managers had gathered all their documents related to the order, which led to an overpayment. Adrian was yet again back at the police station, in the same room as last night. His lawyers, Clint, and the case investigators had to review the documents individually. "I swear, Adrian, I do not know this Elias," Brian said. Adrian stared at the invoice for a customer named Norman Foster. This was the supposed customer who had purchased a half-million-dollar piece of jewelry and overpaid the same amount. Brian explained, "He said that his mobile banking disconnected the first time he transferred, so he moved money twice by mistake.""The client said that Mr. Elias Lindberg is his relative, and he requested that the refund be transferred to that account in Sweden.

    “Happy Birthday, Grandpa. I love you and miss you,” Freya said while putting a flower on Abner’s grave. Charlie followed, putting her teddy bear down. She said, “Grandpa, you can have Mr. Bear. So you won’t miss us too much.”Jasper followed, leaving a card that he had drawn for Abner. He asked, “Hey, Grandpa. Is it always a buffet in heaven?”The adults behind the kids laughed. Jasper turned to his parents, objecting, “Grandpa told me there’s a buffet in heaven!”“Dad did say that a lot,” Anthony remarked, chuckling. More than a year had gone by since Abner’s passing, and they all visited him in his mausoleum, the same one that housed his departed wife, Marilyn King. Charles and Realyn were also present, bringing along their son. Carson had made a Lego mansion for Abner. He placed it above his tomb and said, “Grandpa, I made a house for you. Hope you like it.”Kian moved forward next. He pouted as he said, “Great-grandpa Abner, since you left, the house has been a bit boring. Daddy

    “Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, Dear Freya. Happy birthday to you!” On Freya’s 6th birthday, everyone gathered again. The celebration was held at the very first Diamond Hotel in Halliport. Freya stood on the stage with her parents and siblings. She wore a crown over her head and a ballroom gown fit for a princess. She had a bright smile before she blew the candles on her cake. The audience erupted into applause, after which the party host asked, “What was your wish, Princess Freya?”“That I will grow strong and healthy so I can be a businesswoman someday!” Freya declared, adding to everyone’s amusement. Praises echoed in the ballroom. Carrying both his sons, Adrian struggled to clap his hands, but Jasper and Kian did it for him. “Yay! My turn to blow!” Charlie said. She was beaming while being held by Riley. “No, me!” Jasper screamed. “No, me!” Kian said. The guests laughed out loud at how Riley and Adrian’s children wanted to blow out the candles

    Over a year passed. “Five minutes more, and we are done,” Adrian said as he continued to run on the treadmill. “Honey, I can’t believe I’m back to running for two straight hours again,” Riley said while catching her breath. Her body was sweating profusely, her athletic wear soaked altogether.” It was the same for her husband. Adrian’s skin was glowing in his sweat, and with him running half-naked, he looked mighty fine. “Rrr. Somebody looks hot,” Riley remarked while checking out her husband. “We should have sex after shower.”“We should,” Adrian said while chuckling. “The last time we tried to make love, Freya walked in on us.”“We should learn to lock the door,” Riley said, but locking the doors was easier said than done when Freya always demanded their time and attention whenever they were home. Since delivering the Triplets, Riley had always asked Adrian to be her exercise buddy. Although her postpartum belly has still not fully recovered, she is getting there. The best part i

    “What? Why can’t we see Riley before the delivery?” Renee asked, furious. “Why is she delivering early?”“It’s a delicate pregnancy, Aunt, and she is going into operation right now. Don’t worry. I will take care of Riley,” Zia said. Zia knew that Riley had hidden the truth about her pregnancy. During her second trimester, Riley had attempted to wear baggy clothes to conceal her growing belly. Zia also knew Riley purposely evaded seeing her parents and aunt personally in the recent months.Only Zia, Clint, Abner, Adrian, and Riley knew the truth. Zia even colluded with Riley, giving her a fake ultrasound report.Now, Riley was already 34 weeks pregnant. It was too early for her to give birth, but it had to be done. Going further into the pregnancy was too dangerous. “What’s her condition? Is it polyhydramnios?” Renee asked. This was one of Renee’s suspicions, but Zia always found a way to avoid the topic. “It’s one of those rare pregnancies, Aunt - Oh! I hear Riley crying. I better g

    Time passed again, and it was finally time for Zia to give birth to her twins. Zia had no complications during her pregnancy. Thus, she decided to give birth vaginally. She was prepared for the worst. Zia had delivered countless babies and witnessed different kinds of mothers, including those who screamed, cried, prayed, counted numbers, and more. So, Zia was quiet despite the labor pains. However, it was not the same for her husband, Clint.Zia wanted to avoid an epidural if possible, saving it as a last resort. During labor, she hummed and took deep breaths. They were in their birthing suite, with Clint holding Zia’s hand. Between the two of them, it looked like Clint was about to give birth. He was sweating and already jittery. He said, “Zia, you are so strong. I love you so much.”Soon, it was time for Zia to push. She gave it her all. Clint and her doctor helped her through it. However, after several attempts, the first baby was still not coming out! Zia’s doctor decided to perf

    “Honey? What are you doing here?” Adrian asked, surprised to see Riley stepping onto the private jet. He was scheduled for a trip to check on the project’s progress in Hawaii, so her unexpected arrival caught him off guard.“I’m coming with you!” Riley declared. “It’s been a while since I accompanied you on business trips. Why not mix business with pleasure? And don’t worry, Freya is staying with Aunt, and so is Grandpa. I figured it was about time we had more alone time together.”She beamed and settled on the seat next to Adrian. She pressed her lips into his ear and pointed out, “You do realize that I am about to ovulate. This is the perfect time to have lots of sex!”“Honey,” Adrian said. “I know about that. I was coming back tomorrow morning.”“Yes, but why not have lots of sex in paradise?” Riley pointed out. “Maybe we need a little adventure.”She scanned the private jet, and after finding Adrian’s new male assistant, she whispered, “We can have, you know, sex on the beach, on t

    “Riley, Aunt Renee needs us,” Adrian revealed in the middle of the night. Riley was fast asleep when Adrian awoke her. She got up immediately, and a worried expression appeared on her face. She asked, “What happened to Aunt?”“Her blood pressure went up, so the doctor decided to deliver the baby prematurely,” Adrian said while getting off the bed. “Dad just called. He is in a panic.”Riley frowned. Because Zia was very pregnant and her stomach was growing bigger, she had to hold off from delivering babies, but she was still on top of her aunt’s condition. She had also appointed the second-best doctor to attend to Renee. “I’ll call Zia,” Riley said while leaving the bed. Time had passed again. Her aunt’s pregnancy was already thirty-four weeks, not yet full term. Naturally, Riley was worried. She had heard Gaby’s story about their struggle with Kenneth and the triplet’s birth, so she was afraid her aunt would go through the same situation. “Zia? Thank you for picking up,” Riley said

    ~ “Tonight I just want to take you higher Throw your hands up in the sky Let’s set this party off right” ~ Previously hidden amongst his groomsmen, Clint emerged from his flock of male friends and cousins to sing and dance to the tune of 24k Magic by Bruno Mars. This was Clint and Zia’s wedding celebration. They did not wait long and wed while Zia was still ten weeks pregnant. Clint and Zia wanted to make things formal before Zia’s belly grew too big. Clint glided down the center aisle of the ballroom with casual, effortless confidence. His steps were smooth and rhythmic, exuding a cool, controlled vibe as he moved to the beat. He and his crew of groomsmen dancers execute sharp, synchronized moves that give the choreography a sense of unity and camaraderie.With every slick move, their smiles were evident. They occasionally winked at the crowd, giving off that suave look. The wedding was held at the Marriot Hotel, and over five hundred guests were invited. Most guests were Clint
