But she promised to take a test if it got delayed.She shared her plans on having a child now and even showed them the pictures of the house she and Tessa had built by the lake where she wanted to spend her pregnancy.
Isabella sneaked away to visit the lake house when Danial and Anthony got busy fishing. They had a lot in common and did not shy away from strengthening their bond.On the other hand, Rosaline was surprised to see Isabella in the lake house.Isabella and Tessa had planned a surprise, and it indeed worked.Isabella and Miranda got along like a house on fire.Isabella completely supported Miranda’s theory that Rosaline might be pregnant, given how sluggish she was all the time.She took the instant pregnancy test kit, and all 5 showed the same thing, “Not pregnant.”The two older ladies were disappointed. They won’t be getting a grandchild soon.Isabella, William, Rosaline, and Tessa left after a day, and Miranda and Jeremy settled in the lake house.Isabella went directly to the airport, and Tessa returned home, while William carried a sleeping Rosaline to the AR mansion.In the evening, after waking up, Rosaline and Anna began to cook.

The next few months went by in a blur, with everyone soaked in the good news.The future looked sunny for everyone.Jack and Leena were eagerly anticipating their first child.Leena had spent her 2nd trimester in the lake house, which gave Jack the time to wrap up his work and better prepare for later days.Anna had to stay in Apex city as she needed round-the-clock care given her age, but Rosaline and William had hired a live-in nurse to assist her. It had made Anna quite uncomfortable as it was her first time getting looked after, but she accepted the help graciously as she and Gleen wanted the child to be healthy.Eliyana was happy with the prospect of a great-grandchild, but her joy got countered by the unusual pairing and the fact that the child would not be a Kyle.

William caressed her face gently and pinched her chubby cheeks.“You have become chubby.” William kissed her nose as he said.“You can say fat. I know I have become fat.” Rosaline pouted.“I was hoping you would get chubbier than you are now. Your limbs are still thin. I am worried.” William explained.“That’s alright. Given my diet, there’s no way that I am weak.” Rosaline soothed him, “Besides, you are here. So is Mom and everyone. I feel like a princess.”“You are my Queen,” William dotingly said.“William, I think I have gotten used to this special treatment. I am afraid when the child is born and everyone’s attention shifts to the baby, I won't cope.” Rosaline voiced.“Silly. I will be there. Besides, you are so lovely. How can anyone not treat you as special?” William said, caressing her softly.“I should not listen to you. I am afraid I will get so puffed up, that I would not know where to place my head.” Rosaline said.“Even the baby thinks you are silly,” William said as he r
The others found out about the accident only the next day when the police approached them.It created an uproar as the news had caught them off-guard.Once they got over the shock, one thing was clear - someone had premeditated the turn of events.Jack meticulously investigated everyone in the house and found the help they had hired a month back to help Leena was taking bribes. She had deliberately caused Leena’s fall and helped steal the baby.On the other hand, after investigating for two days, the police only found some people had been lurking around the AR mansion for many days.But they were in masks and could not be identified.Tessa went into a rage when the investigation showed that the remnants of the body found in the car had Rosaline’s DNA.

Amidst all the grief and losses, the Scotts were facing in-fighting in the company again.Some people were deliberately causing trouble by flagging the issue of the lack of a competent heir.Danial was helpless as he had only managed to convince everyone previously with the news that William was his biological child, who had gotten switched at birth.Though there were some dissents, they had no choice but to wait and see how William fared.He had shown quite the potential, and they couldn’t easily dismiss him.But with William gone, those dissents turned into war cries.Danial was already frustrated with not finding the perpetrator behind his son’s death.The issues in the company were getting to him.A few anonymous maids in the house and some of his secretaries had unvoiced concerns about his mental health.Amidst the chaos - Danial’s elder brother, Andrew, who had disappeared more than three decades after the loss of his pregnant wife - showed up with his very much alive wife and a
