"I had no idea , Mia would do what she did " he explained like he was talking to someone who could really hear him. "That's enough Liam" Uncle Mark said. "No dad it's not enough " he said. "I had always thought whether I see her dead or alive , it wouldn't bother me " he replied. "Then what is this heavy feeling in my chest " he replied.

She said."Not every one is as shallow as you Belinda""My daughter doesn't need Anders or his money!!" She replied ."She just deserves to know who her father is !" She said."Anders can never be her father !!" Belinda said."Anders has only one child the whole world knows and that's Xavier !!" Belinda said and Miranda laughed."Then explain to me , why some months ago you offered me money just so that I don't talk to Anders about Ariel!""If you knew she wasn't his daughter why did you offer me money to go far away and not come into you
