After the event, Vivian and I stepped out of the hall, our faces radiating with joy. I felt satisfied after having the chance to speak with some top celebrities and government officials. Not just that, I've been given a special deal to become the ambassador of a famous brand in the country. Kate was happy as well. She felt satisfied seeing how jealous Jeremy was when he noticed that she had moved on.

“Today is indeed fabulous! I'm glad we showed up at the event,” Kate mumbled, a broad smile on her face..

We descended the spiral stairs, walking elegantly as we flew our gazes at everyone's faces. We saw some luxurious cars at the parking lots. Some bodyguards trailed behind highly renowned men. They got into their cars and drove off from the venue.

The city buzzed with activities. Car's headlights flashed on the street, and lights from shops, bars and some buildings illuminated the street. The blaring sound of car horns could be heard as well.

There were so many future plans he had with me but because of Vivian, everything was ruined. Not just that, she embarrassed me publicly. I'm sick and tired!” “No, Logan. You won't be sick and tired of her. She's your wife. She's pregnant and she's carrying your child!” My mom countered, her voice carrying through the air Vivian rubbed her belly, trying to put on a distraught expression on her face. I sighed and dropped my shoulders, several emotions settling in “Mom, you don't need to keep reminding me of her pregnancy. Because she's pregnant doesn't mean she can't be corrected. She's at fault here and you know that. Are you just going to keep being on her side when you know that she's the one at fault here..” “But Vivian. Is it true? Did you do something that affected Logan's business?” My mom asked. “No- no, mum. It's just a misunderstanding. Something happened at an

What fruit do you want to eat at school today?” I asked, raising an eyebrow. He smiled and tapped his jaw gently with his fingers as he thought of what to say “I think I'll take apples and strawberries.” He said with a deep smile on his face. “Alright.” I mumbled as I took my gaze to the tray which contained several fruits.

I mean, I can keep counting every blessing you have without stopping, Emerald.” Cecile began, a dark Chuckle erupting from her throat.

I took my handkerchief and wiped the drop of tears from my cheek. I might have acted strong in front of Cecile, but I wouldn’t deny that I feel broken Kate placed her left hand on mine, while using her right hand to steer the steering wheel “I’m so sorry, Emerald, and I’m also proud of you as well.

I'll…I'll be fine.” Logan struggled to say to me in a stutter.“No, you are not fine.” I cried, trying to help him in any way I could before better help could come.

That will be sorted by you, Black.” “You have to make sure everything turn out well when you guys go to get them.” The deep croaky voice of the mafia's grouphead resounded in the room while he addressed the members of the secret organization.“We have to ensure that nobody comes close to our group. The other rival gangs will get too cocky if they notice us slacking. This isn't time to slow down guys, we have to step up and show that we own this arena–”Collin's dark eyes wandered lazily around the dimly lit room, his mind in a faraway place as he sat on the seat at a corner in the room.The mafia members' discussion about the upcoming ammunition that had been imported secretly into the country and the inherent sneer from jealous rival gangs faded into the background while he thought of his newest worry.He couldn't be bothered about anything more except the news he'd gotten from Vivi

Emily and Logan exchange glances before taking a deep breath.Emily and Logan walked out of the ward with the doctor. Emily's chest heaved, her heart pounding harder. Anxiety lingered in the air."Doctor, how's Carl's health?" Logan asked first, while Emily stood there looking at one way."While his immune system is still stable, we have to explore several options for a bone marrow transplant. Since neither of you is a match, having a child together could potentially save his life.” The doctor said, staring at them sympathetically.“I understand this is personal but do know that I'll always be here to support you.

The sight of them chuckling and spending quality time together burned through him like a fire blaze on top of his head."Unbelievable!" he roared, flipping the coffee table in front of him. "After everything I did, after everything I said, she still went back to him?"Vivian, standing in the corner, let out a quiet chuckle. She had been watching him the entire time, enjoying the spectacle of his rage and unhappiness. Unlike him, she wasn’t blinded by anger, she saw an opportunity to do what has always been within her."Throwing objects won’t change the fact that she's back in Logan's arms," she said, walking slowly to Collins.Collin looked around, eyes flashing with anger.

I froze for a moment. it felt as if time had come to a standstill. “Can you tell me more about this SCID?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. The doctor's voice was gentle as he added, “It's a rare genetic disorder that affects the immune system.” I listened intently, my brows knitting. He cleared his throat and continued, “It is caused by mutations in genes which play crucial roles in development and functions of the immune system.” My eyes narrowed as I struggled to process his words “So, are you trying to say that we passed it down to him?” His lips conformed into a thin line. He nodded and also added, “While it can be inherited from parents who are carriers of mutated genes, it can also be caused by spontaneous mutations during fetal development. The latter I believe is what caused It.” A deep sigh escaped my lips. I paused for a moment, trying to pull myself together. "What
