Candy stayed silent, wanting to hear what the man had to say.

"Someone who brought light into my life. I was an orphan, hustling to build a foundation. It didn't go well; things only got worse to the extent that I tried to end my life..."

He was telling her his story? Candy became curious.

Jameson's gaze fixed on Aiden, his expression intense."And what the heck were you doing with my sister?" he uttered through gritted teeth."Mr. James, I can explain, um..."

He asked, drawing his face close. "Damn. You look sexier than before."Phoenix managed to slip her hands out, she pushed his hand holding the knife away from her neck and kneed his groin.Trying to get away, Griffin held her again, this time punching her face.

Hannah, no, no... please, you can't do this, no!" Vincent yelled, holding Hannah's body to himself. Tears rolled down his face uncontrollably."Hannah, wake up! What am I supposed to do without

    The men in the room literally choked on their saliva and began to cough. Candy's face turned pale and red. This would be the first time hearing that walking could affect pregnancy. "No, no it doesn't," she shook her head vehemently. She couldn't imagine Diego carrying her all around the house. "Don't worry, wife. I'm strong enough to do that every single day," he replied. "Huh? No, you don't have to. I'm fine." Diego didn't listen as he led her back to the room, placing her gently on the bed. "Wait here, I'll get something to eat," he kissed her forehead and left. Candy's mouth stayed open. Gosh! He is so adorable. She laughed lightly at his reaction seconds ago; it was so cute.

Not that she didn't know what to say, she just didn't want to waste precious saliva because of the dumbass. "You can take the remaining drink," Jackie said, dropping the bottle on the floor before following Yazmine. Yazmine took a deep breath in frustration after driving away from the company, with Jackie seated by her side. "I have no idea what I'm doing," she muttered.
