CH 81.Lucas sat at his desk, his eyes focused on the computer screen in front of him. He was going through some reports that his team had submitted, but his mind kept drifting to Andrianne. He couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off between them.He tried to push the thoughts to the back of his mind and concentrate on work, but they kept creeping back. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, trying to clear his mind. It was then he realized he couldn't tell Andrianne the whole truth about his birthday night. The thought of lying to her made him feel sick to his stomach.As he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but wonder what Andrianne was doing at that moment. Was she still upset with him? Was she thinking about him like he was thinking about her?Lucas shook his head and refocused on his work, trying to push away the thoughts of Andrianne. He had deadlines to meet, reports to review, and meetings to attend.His phone rang, interrupting his thoughts. It was Sarah, hi
CH 82.Emily sat on her couch in her living room, scrolling through her phone with a huge smile on her face. She couldn't believe that her plan had actually worked.

They had always been skeptical about her relationship with Lucas, but now she had the proof that they were wrong. She picked up her phone and called her best friend, Sara."Hey, girl!" Emily said excitedly. "You won't believe what just happened.""What? Tell me!" Sara replied eagerly."Lucas and I are finally together!" Emily exclaimed."What do you mean?" Sara asked, confused."I mean, we're together. And I'm pregnant with his child," Emily said, her voice oozing with satisfaction.Sara was taken aback. "Emily, are you serious? That's not how you're supposed to start a relationship. And what about Andrianne?""Oh, don't worry

She had been feeling great and was excited to see how much her baby had grown since her last appointment.As she drove to the hospital, she hummed to herself in anticipation. When she arrived, she checked in at the front desk and waited patiently for her turn to see the doctor.After a short while, she was called in and greeted by the doctor. The doctor, a middle-aged woman with a friendly demeanor, asked Andrianne how she was feeling, and Andrianne replied that she was feeling great.The doctor then proceeded to check Andrianne's vital signs and measured her belly to check the baby's growth. She then proceeded to do an ultrasound scan to check the baby's development.After the scan, the doctor turned to Andrianne and said, "Your baby is developing very well. Congratulations."Andrianne beamed with joy at the news. "Thank
CH 84.It was a beautiful Saturday morning, the sun was shining bright and the birds were chirping outside. Lucas woke up early, feeling restless as he had been for the past few weeks. He got out of bed and slipped on his robe, walking quietly to the kitchen. He decided to make breakfast for Andrianne, hoping to surprise her and make her happy.Lucas started by brewing a pot of coffee, the rich aroma filling the kitchen. He then pulled out some eggs, bacon, and bread, and began cooking. As he cooked, his mind couldn't help but drift to Emily and the baby she was carrying. He couldn't believe he was going to be a father again, but this time with a woman he didn't love.As he was finishing up the cooking, he heard Andrianne stir in the bedroom. He quickly set the table, making sure everything was perfect. When Andrianne walked into the kitchen, she was surprised to see Lucas there, cooking breakfast."Good morning, love," he said with a smile, trying to hide the turmoil inside him.Andr
CH 85.Lucas sat in his office, scrolling through his emails and trying to focus on work. He had a lot on his mind lately, especially with Emily's pregnancy and the tension it was causing in his marriage with Andrianne. He knew he needed to tell her the truth, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it.Suddenly, the door to his office burst open and Emily strutted in, looking more confident than ever. Lucas tried his best to remain calm and collected, but he couldn't help feeling a little unnerved by her presence."Lucas, darling, I've been thinking," she purred, walking over to his desk and leaning on it provocatively. "I miss you. I miss the way we used to be together. I think it's only fair that we start spending more time together."Lucas sighed and leaned back in his chair. "Emily, we've been over this. I can't just drop everything and spend time with you whenever you want me to. I have a wife and a baby on the way."Emily's expression turned sour at the mention of Andrianne. "
Emily sat in her car outside the hospital, watching as Andrianne entered the building. She couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy and anger. It wasn't fair that Andrianne got to have Lucas all to herself, while she was stuck with the knowledge of their affair and an unwanted pregnancy.But Emily wasn't going to let Andrianne have Lucas all to herself anymore. She had to find a way to make him choose her too. She took a deep breath and got out of her car, making her way into the hospital.As she walked towards the antenatal clinic, she spotted Andrianne sitting in the waiting area. Emily's heart sank as she realized she had no idea what to say or do. She decided to just sit a few seats away from Andrianne and pretended not to notice her.Andrianne, who was lost in thought, suddenly felt a presence beside her. She looked up and was surprised to see Emily sitting so close to her."Oh, hi Emily," Andrianne said, trying to sound friendly."Hi Andrianne," Emily replied, trying to sound c
CH 87.Andrianne's car pulled up to the driveway of her mansion, the engine roaring to a stop as she turned off the ignition. She took a deep breath, trying to shake off the nagging feeling in the pit of her stomach. As she stepped out of the car, the cool breeze of the evening air hit her face, making her shiver slightly. She wrapped her arms around herself and walked towards the front door of the house.The mansion was a sight to behold, standing tall and imposing in the middle of a vast expanse of lush green lawn. The elegant architecture and exquisite landscaping were a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the family that owned it. Andrianne had grown up in this mansion and had never grown tired of its beauty.She walked up the steps to the front door and fished her keys out of her bag. As she unlocked the door and stepped inside, she was immediately hit by the scent of her favorite lavender-scented candles. She smiled softly, feeling comforted by the familiar smell.The mans
CH 88.As Lucas lay in bed beside Andrianne, his mind was racing with thoughts of Emily and the impending threat of her showing up at his doorstep. He couldn't bear the thought of his wife finding out about his past relationship with Emily, so he decided to sneak out of bed and take the call.He tiptoed out of the bedroom, making sure not to make any noise that could wake up Andrianne. As he reached his office, he heard the familiar ringtone of Emily's phone call and picked up the phone. Emily's voice was sharp and insistent as she demanded that he spend time with her, just like he did with Andrianne.Lucas felt trapped between his past and present, but before he could respond, he heard footsteps approaching. Panicked, he quickly ended the call and tried to gather his composure as Andrianne asked him what was wrong.Lucas turned to her, trying to sound nonchalant.
