As Chelsea's daughter wrapped her arms around her mom's neck and placed a sweet kiss on her cheek, Chelsea's eyes began to fill with tears. These were tears of love, happiness, and also, fear.She couldn't believe how much time had passed since she had given birth to her daughter, but she knew that time had flown by quickly. Chelsea remembered how she had gotten pregnant. She had been in the United States at the time, and the baby's father was Daryl.At first, when Chelsea found out she was pregnant, she was thrilled. She had always wanted to be a mother, and the thought of having a child with someone she loved, even though it was a one-night stand, was exciting. However, that excitement quickly turned to fear when she realized that Daryl might not accept the baby, attached to the contract marriage when she returned to their country.Chelsea knew that Daryl was married before and had no interest in having a child. She also knew that getting pregnant was a mistake. She had spent months
Daryl woke up to a frigid morning, feeling the chill of the cold air seeping into his bones. He groaned as he rolled over, checking the time on his phone to see it was already past eight o'clock.Suddenly, his phone rang, and he saw it was his assistant calling. "Hello?" he answered, still feeling groggy."Good morning, Daryl," his assistant greeted him in a chirpy voice. "I just wanted to confirm whether you'll be showing up to work today. It's Monday morning, and we have an important meeting at ten." Daryl frowned, rubbing his eyes. He had completely forgotten about the meeting, lost in the haze of his weekend. "Uh, yeah, sorry about that," he said, his voice hoarse. "I'll make it in. Thanks for reminding me.""Great," the assistant replied cheerily. "Anything else you need from me before you head in?""No, I should be fine," Daryl said, stretching his arms. "Thanks again."As he hung up, Daryl felt a pang of regret. He had been working tirelessly for months, trying to climb the c
Daryl sat back in his chair, feeling a satisfying fullness in his stomach. He had just finished a delicious meal at his favorite restaurant, a cozy place known for its delectable dishes and friendly atmosphere. The waitress, recognizing his contentment, approached his table with a smile, carrying a glass of whiskey in her hand."Here you go, Daryl," she said cheerfully as she placed the glass in front of him. "On the house. Enjoy!"Daryl nodded appreciatively and took a moment to inhale the rich aroma of the whiskey. He lifted the glass to his lips, savoring the smoothness as the liquid touched his tongue. The warmth spread through his body, complementing the pleasant sensation of a satisfying meal.As he savored each sip, Daryl couldn't help but reflect on the events of the day. It had been a busy one, filled with meetings and deadlines. The whiskey provided a much-needed respite, allowing him to unwind and relax.Once he finished his drink, Daryl reached into his pocket, pulling out
As the first rays of the morning sun peeked through the curtains, Daryl slowly opened his eyes, a sense of anticipation coursing through his veins. The alarm clock beside his bed chimed softly, signaling the start of a new day. With a deep breath, he swung his legs over the edge of the bed and rose to his feet, ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead. The early morning hours held a special magic for Daryl. It was a time when the world was still awakening, and he relished in the tranquility that enveloped the air. As he shuffled his way to the bathroom, he caught a glimpse of himself in the hallway mirror and smiled. Today, he was determined to make a lasting impression with his stunning looks. Daryl stepped into the shower, allowing the warm water to cascade over his body, invigorating his senses and awakening his mind. As he lathered his hair with his favorite shampoo, he thought about the important meetings and presentations that awaited him at work. He kne
Daryl stood on the sidewalk, his eyes widening as he saw a woman step out of a sleek black car parked nearby. There was something about her that felt familiar, but he couldn't quite place it. As she approached him, he couldn't help but blurt out in surprise. "Daryl, is that you?" the woman called out, a smile forming on her face. Daryl's jaw dropped as he processed her words. "Hilary? Is that you?" Hilary nodded, her smile widening. "Yes, it's me! I can't believe we've run into each other like this." Daryl was speechless for a moment, trying to reconcile the image of the woman standing before him with the memories he had of Hilary. They had known each other back in college, but they had lost touch over the years. "I can't believe it's you," Daryl finally managed to say, a mix of shock and excitement evident in his voice. "What brings you here? It's been ages since we last saw each other." Hilary glanced back at the car, a hint of mischief in her eyes. "Well, I've been doing some
In the quiet solitude of the lavish bedroom, Hilary finds herself caught in a whirlwind of emotions. The realization that the elegant woman before her may indeed be the mother of Chelsea, the person Daryl had spoken about with such fervor, stuns her to the core. Thoughts race through her mind, trying to make sense of this unexpected encounter and the implications it holds. Hilary's relationship with Daryl had blossomed slowly but surely over the past few months. Their connection had deepened through shared laughter, late-night conversations, and a mutual appreciation for literature. Daryl had often mentioned Chelsea, with a mix of nostalgia and longing. He had spoken of her vivacious spirit, her infectious laughter, and the adventures they had embarked upon together. With each passing anecdote, Hilary had felt a pang of jealousy, a twinge of insecurity. She couldn't help but wonder how deep the bond between Daryl and Chelsea truly ran. But now, as she stood in Mrs. Willows' opulent b
Daryl had always wondered why Mrs. Willows had been so close to Hilary. Every time he saw them together, they were laughing and chatting like old buddies. He couldn't comprehend why Mrs. Willows invested so much of her time and energy with Hilary, instead of her daughter Hilary. So, on a particularly hot summer afternoon, Daryl decided to make his move. He got dressed in his best clothes, put on his polished shoes, and made his way towards the Women's Association Hall. He had rehearsed his lines over and over again in his mind so that he could ask Mrs. Willows the question that had been bothering him for months. When Daryl reached the hall, he took a deep breath and looked around. The hall was full of women, young and old, mostly dressed in colorful floral materials, sipping on cold beverages and sampling sweet treats. Daryl felt out of place among all these women, but he knew he had to press on. He looked around the hall nervously, searching for Mrs. Willows. It took him a while to
Harl, dressed impeccably in a tailored suit, stepped out of his luxurious car and confidently strode into the pristine office building. His appearance exuded an air of opulence and entitlement as he made his way through the hallway toward the elevator, his eyes scanning the surroundings with a self-assured demeanor. During the elevator ride to the fifth floor, Harl contemplated the upcoming meeting with his colleague, someone he had only known through reputation. While Harl had heard of his colleague's achievements, he had never paid much attention. He firmly believed in his superiority and was only attending the meeting to assert his unmatched status. Unbeknownst to Harl, his colleague was not impressed by his wealth and arrogance. This man valued hard work and integrity, placing little importance on money and social standing. Harl was about to learn this lesson the hard way. Stepping out of the elevator onto the fifth floor, Harl strolled casually toward the designated meeting roo

Hilary had a long day at work, and driving home was the last thing she wanted to do. She was exhausted and tired of dealing with the incessant work demands. As she drove home, her thoughts wandered to Daryl, her boyfriend of two years.Lately, things haven't been smooth between them. Daryl's work schedule was unpredictable, leaving little time for them to spend together.To make matters worse, there was the occasional argument they had regarding his previous relationships.

It was a cold morning when Hilary stood in the middle of the room, holding Daryl's phone tightly in her hand. Her heart raced with a mix of anxiety, betrayal, and a growing sense of dread.She had suspected something was amiss in their relationship, but seeing the evidence right in front of her eyes was like a punch to the gut.Daryl, who had been engrossed in his laptop at the bed, looked up and noticed Hilary's tense stance and the phone clutched in her hand.His expression shifted from surprise to panic, his eyes darting between Hilary and the screen she was gripping."Hilary, what are you doing?" he stammered, attempting to regain his composure.

The scent of home hit Daryl as he walked through the door. He could smell the freshly baked bread his wife had prepared for dinner and the familiar aroma of his home that he had missed for the past couple of days.As he walked into the kitchen, he saw his wife, Hilary, standing by the stove, her eyes glued to the door, waiting for him. Her face brightened up as she saw him, and she rushed to him, wrapping her arms around him in a tight hug."Where were you last night?" she asked, her voice trembling with worry. "I waited for you, but you never came home. I was so worried; I thought something had happened to you."Daryl looked into her eyes; he could see the fear and worry in her eyes, and it tore at his heart. He knew he owed her an explanation, but he wasn't ready to talk about it just yet."I'm sorry, Hilary," he said softly. "I had to work late last night; I didn't want to wake you up, so I crashed at the office."Hilary's face softened with relief as she heard his explanation. She
