The old man looked at Alex, trying to find anything in him.

Alex noticed the old man's eyeball going around his body before he sighed dropping his cup of coffee.

“I don’t look much like my mother,” he said for the old man to squeeze his brows.

“Ex…excuse me,” he said in shock.

“I’m Alexander McCollum’s and if she’s your daughter then I’m your grandson because she’s my mother,” he said pointing at his mother's picture on his phone.

“No way” the old man gasped.

“No way,” he said again not believing the grown-up man in his front was his family. When he thought he was going to die alone in this world after the disappearance of his daughter and the death of his wife.

“Marie son” he whispered for Alex to nod smiling.

“Can I hug you?” He asked looking at Alex with tears in his eyes.

“Please let me hug you, Alexander,” he said standing up as he immediately removed his coat looking at Alex who stood up and the old man hugged him.

“ Marie son” he called again hugging Alex who hugged him back.

Don’t hurt me please” she pleaded for them both not to respond.“Have you searched for her phone?” One asked for the other one to shake his head.“We don’t need anything, Marcus, just enjoy her and leave.” The other responded for Hazel to begin to cry.“Please I beg you” she cried for the other one to chuckle.“Somebody help!!” Hazel screamed hoping her voice would echo and this got both men angry and Marcus slapped her making her fall to her knees.“Please” Hazel cried as her mouth began to bleed.“Find a suitable place, Marcus, we have walked for too long, I’m losing my patience.” The other one said as he looked at Hazel smiling.Marcus pushed Hazel to the ground after they left the damp area of the tunnel.“Let’s take turns,” he said for Hazel to shake her head pleading.Outside the county, in a damp area, Sam stopped the car for Alex to i

    Hazel looked away because it was a thought she had been curious about which she would even call the mastermind of going to find her mother.“I don’t understand Alex” she finally said for Alex to sit close to her holding her hands.“Let me make you understand Hazel,” he said looking deep into her blue eyes.Hazel could feel the heat between them but she’s very sure Alex won’t touch her because she’s still bleeding.“I want to hate the fact that Marie is your mother's friend and she advised your mother to abandon your father because he’s very poor but still it’s very obvious that Marie could be my very own mother Marie.” He said pushing Hazel's hair back of her ear.“And if that happens to be, will you hate my mother?” He asked using his thumb to rub her thick luscious lips.Hazel could not speak as she could feel Alex's breath on her face. She parted her lips trying to breathe through her mouth since his closeness was making her breathless but she didn’t know that was a trigger for Ale

    Hazel held tight to Alex as they all stood looking at the old woman.“And you are?” Alex asked covering his fear with curiosity.“Gladys, Gladys Kentucky,” she said with a smile.“Are you Gloria Kentucky's mother?” he asked for the old woman to smile.“Oh, dear Gloria, I’m her aunty. I am Gloria's father's sister. I saw the Kentucky bloodline in her that’s why I came directly to her. Come” she said walking towards the shabby house.“Alex, let’s go back” Hazel whispered for Alex to chuckle.“Let’s feed our curiosity, dear wife.” He said as he held Hazel's hands and they quietly followed the old lady towards the old farmhouse.Inside the dark-looking room with light sipping from the broken weak woods of the house, the old lady asked the three of them to sit but none was ready to risk sitting on a shabby-looking cushion chair.“We are good, thanks,” Alex said for the old lady to chuckle.“I might be a witch, but I can’t hurt her, that means I can’t hurt you both too because she’s with yo

    Immediately Hazel sat down as she kept looking at the photo, her tears were rolling because she knew her father was long gone, and seeing someone look exactly like him brings back his memories of suffering.“Who are you? why are you showing me this?” She asked for the unknown sender to reply.“I am anonymous and I’m showing you this because you know who is he” the sender responded.“My father is dead” she typed.“No, he isn’t. I will thank Katherine for telling me that your father was actually not dead, he suggested they fake his death to let you live your life in peace” the sender responded for Hazel to frown.“How did you know Katherine?” She furiously typed.“Oh I don’t know her she contacted me.” The sender responded as it sent along the papers of Mr Smith's release from the Geriatric Hospital.“Ahh” Hazel gasped as she covered her mouth after reading the papers.“Who are you? please don’t hurt him.

So boring” she said as she looked at her daughter who was in a wheelchair with her both hands wrapped in bandages.“I can’t believe you brought me from the hospital to watch this boring thing, who on earth fakes their death so their daughter doesn’t drop out, are they that poor” Kayla said with disgust as her mother sighed.“Let me make it fun,” Martha said as she signaled her bodyguard who dragged Hazel away from her father.“No, no.

    Grace was embarrassed. The look on Alex’s face made her immediately hide her phone. Alex scoffed, then sat back, watching as Grace swallowed hard.“I’m so—”“Is your salary not enough?” Alex asked, causing Grace to immediately bow her head.“I lost my previous phone, boss. I was planning to get a new one once I go out with Madam. I’m sorry, boss,” Grace immediately apologized.“I asked a question,” he said quietly.Grace raised her head, then immediately bowed again.“It’s more than enough, sir,” she said, bowing her head as she bit her lower lip.Alex nodded, then opened his wardrobe and brought out a new phone and a SIM card.He unboxed the phone, turned it on, and installed a personal tracker.

    The night was quiet. The butler and Grace looked at each other—what were they going to do with all this food and cake on the table? They knew their boss and madam were not coming downstairs anymore tonight. Grace looked at the butler, who sighed.“What a waste,” he whispered, and Grace nodded in agreement.“Is it okay if I package them and take them to the mansion? My colleagues will be excited to eat it. Since the boss isn’t there, they only eat regular meals,” she said.The butler nodded. “But keep the cake. The madam might want it,” he said, then helped Grace package everything while they cleaned up.Back upstairs, the room was warm and quiet. The only noise was the soft moans escaping Hazel’s lips as her neatly pedicured fingers traced against Alex’s skin.“Ah…” a breathy moan escaped her lips as Alex’s body moved in a slow, rhythmic way with hers.“Oh, Alex… goodness,” she gasped as his pace remained steady and torturous.“I love you,” Alex whispered as he pushed himself deeper i

    The large governor’s dining room was eerily silent. Camila cleared her throat and smiled, but the look on Mrs. Governor’s face was far from pleasant.Harden scoffed, adjusting his suit.“With all due respect, Mrs. Governor, since my family is here, please do well to explain why I should be accused in such a manner,” he said, smiling at her.“My wife is angry about our current situation, and during the investigation, your name has come up frequently. She might have misunderstood something,” the governor said calmly.Mrs. McCall scoffed.“Well, I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out to be true. After all, he’s the reason his father committed suicide,” she said, making Harden scoff even harder.Without a word, he stood up and left. Camila immediately rose from her seat as well.“Forgive our abrupt departure, Your Excellency,” she said before rushing after Harden.“Please, let’s eat, sir,” Mrs. Governor urged. “I understand how you feel, and right now, I feel the same way.

    Hazel frowned at the gift box in front of her. The last time she heard of Kayla, she was with an actor in Hollywood, and her mother had been sentenced to jail for the murder of Alex’s mother. She looked at the butler before nodding at him.“Open it,” she said.The butler nodded and began to open the box. Inside, he found a beautifully crafted old Italian-designed vase. Hazel’s frown deepened. The butler gently placed it on the table before taking out a letter from the box.“There’s a letter, madam,” he said.Hazel took the letter, unfolded it, and began reading.“Hey Alex,It’s been a while. I’m doing fine here. Martinez is taking good care of me. I hope Hazel is doing well too. I know she will never forgive me for the past.The vase you’ve been asking about since childhood—the one my mother told the maid to throw away, calling it old and disgusting—the one with your mother’s name on it…I know you might have forgotten about it. After my mother ordered the maid to discard or break it,

    The two people became confused about what to do as Hazel kept crying in pain. Immediately, Grace grabbed the mansion phone to call Doctor Frank while Alex carried Hazel, rushing out of the mansion. At that moment, Hazel burst out laughing.“I got you,” she said, making Alex frown even more.“It’s a prank, baby. I’m fine. I just wanted to see how worried you’d be,” she said, laughing, but Alex didn’t find it funny. Grace held her chest and sighed in relief.“It’s funny to you? You…”“Babe, come on. It’s a prank. I’m perfectly fine, my love. Don’t frown at me like that, Alex,” she said, smiling, but Alex didn’t respond. Instead, he dropped her down and walked back into the mansion.“Madam, it’s not as funny as you think it is. We were…”“Come on, Grace, you both are unbelievable. I said it’s a prank,” she said, walking into the mansion.“Alex, baby. My heartbeat. My love,” she called out, but Alex didn’t respond.She walked into his study and saw him sitting silently on his couch.“I wa

    Hazel looked at Dr. Frank with her eyes wide open as he kept rubbing her stomach until he officially confirmed he could hear two heartbeats.“Congratulations once again, Mrs. McCollum,” he said, helping Hazel up.“So, what is it, Frank? Is the baby healthy? You said two heartbeats—am I having twins?” she asked anxiously.Dr. Frank nodded, and Hazel teared up, covering her mouth with her hands.“Twins? Is it a boy and a girl, two girls, or two boys?” she asked, her excitement evident.Dr. Frank chuckled at her enthusiasm. “Well, it’s a boy and a girl.”Hazel gasped and covered her mouth again in excitement. “Please don’t say anything to Alex. I want to surprise him with it,” she said.Dr. Frank nodded. “Of course, ma’am. Congratulations once again.”He helped Hazel walk back to his office, where Grace and the guards were waiting.At the General’s villa, Gloria sat, looking around. The luxurious, old-money-style villa made her wonder who had invited her over.“Please come with me, ma’am

    The sunshine streamed brightly through the curtains in the spacious bedroom, casting its warm rays on Hazel as she slept. Her elegant facial features twitched slightly under the light before her long lashes fluttered. Finally, she opened her eyes. Her luscious lips parted as she slowly came back to reality.Hazel yawned deeply, then sat up.“Good morning, madam,” a familiar voice greeted her, prompting Hazel to frown as she turned toward the figure.“Grace?” she exclaimed in surprise.Grace stood in her maid’s uniform, bowing her head respectfully.“Give me a hug, Grace. I’ve missed you so much,” Hazel said, her eyes welling up with tears. Without hesitation, Grace stepped forward and embraced her.“Please don’t cry, madam,” Grace said gently, rubbing Hazel’s back. “I wouldn’t know what to say to the boss if he walked in and saw you like this,” she added anxiously.“Don’t mind me; this pregnancy makes me so emotional,” Hazel said, wiping her tears. “It’s been months, Grace.

    The doors to the dining room opened, and three men in black suits entered silently, their imposing presence casting a shadow over the room. Alex smirked, his tone ice-cold. “I mean, Mr. Lark, that your time has run out.” The assistant paled, his hands trembling as the men in black closed in. *Outside the Villa* A convoy of cars pulled up near the entrance to the McCollum estate. The general, sitting stiffly in the backseat of his car, glanced at his assistant. “I don’t think it’s wise to approach the villa uninvited,” the general said, his voice calm but firm. “Shall I write to Mrs. McCollum, then? Ask about her health and that of your great-grandchild?” the assistant offered. The general nodded, his lips curving into a rare smile. “Yes, do that. And… one more thing. Have you found her mother?” “Yes, sir,” the assistant replied. “She’s currently in the city.” “Invite her to the villa,” the general said, his expression unreadable. The assistant hesitated. “Are you sure, sir?

    Simon immediately followed Alex’s instructions. As expected, Alex approved of the arrangements. The drive back to the villa was dead silent. Hazel held Alex’s hand tightly, watching him carefully for any unusual signs that might necessitate returning to the hospital. “When are the workers in the mansion coming back?” she asked, breaking the silence and earning a small smile from Alex. “They’re already back. I just want us to stay at the villa until you give birth,” Alex replied, his tone calm. Hazel sighed. “It’s lonely in the villa. At least in the mansion, the maids keep me company when you’re away.” Alex nodded thoughtfully. “I don’t trust them with you. They might accept money to hurt you. Let’s stay here until our child is born,” he said, lifting her hand to his lips and planting a gentle kiss. “And the scan?” Alex asked, watching Hazel closely. “You remember?” Hazel responded with a smile. “Of course. I dare not forget anything about you,” he said, making Hazel blush. “I
