"So, the terms and conditions. Are you ready to listen to them?"Viona nodded with confidence, her breath shallow as she never took her eyes off Nyonya Herlinda."We will conduct a DNA test on Stevan to confirm his true lineage and prepare for any legal changes, if necessary. It may be that the child has slanted eyes like Sebastian, but there are so many people with such features worldwide. I'm not trying to diminish your honesty and loyalty, but I'm only drawing from past experiences, considering how your relationship with Sebastian ended at that time."Nyonya Herlinda's words were spoken calmly and politely, yet each sentence tore at Viona's feelings as she listened. Viona knew she was considered a loose woman, but the description given by the elderly lady was more painful than any judgment from strangers who didn't know Viona personally.Viona grimaced, "What if the DNA test results aren't fair?""Not fair?" Nyonya Herlinda raised an eyebrow."Mom and Seb have a lot of money. They

DNA testing takes a long time, especially when conducted at three different locations. The tests are carried out rigorously, legally, and fairly with the utmost secrecy. Sebastian's DNA sample is taken by Viona, a lawyer, and Mrs. Herlinda, while Stevan's sample is collected later. These collections are not done simultaneously.Stevan and Sebastian are not related.Sebastian watches from a distance so Stevan remains unaware.The sampling is completed at three different facilities within a week. Sebastian then focuses on a message from his mother. He hires four detectives to track down his past dating partners. Some of his exes have changed their phone numbers or addresses, prompting him to accelerate the search by hiring multiple detectives. For those who still use the same phone, Sebastian contacts them directly and arranges meetings to ensure they don't have his DNA. He also apologizes for any emotional pain he caused them in the past.Thanks to following Mrs. Herlinda's advice and

Mr. Lim stared at the TV in disbelief, watching everything very seriously without blinking."What's this, Wil?" Sebastian asked, his face pale and extremely tense.The TV was displaying a compilation of edited videos. These videos were from CCTV footage taken at the Lim residence, specifically in the garage where you could see Sebastian Lim sneaking around a white sedan. Sebastian crouched beside the car and discreetly attached something not easily recognizable. A small, black object was placed near the car's wheel.Sebastian spent quite some time near the car, attaching the object in his hand. He chuckled softly after successfully installing it, then stood up from his crouched position and continued to sneak out of the garage.The TV screen then showed the date of the CCTV footage, followed by a screen capture of a news article reporting the accident involving Christopher Lim and Alana.It was on the same date and occurred just hours before Christopher Lim's accident.They highlighte

Sebastian couldn't understand why everything was moving so fast. His video was spread in the morning, and he was immediately called by the police. He cooperated by following the summoning procedure.So far, Sebastian's status was just that of a witness explaining what happened in the CCTV footage. Mr. Lim went through the interrogation calmly, answering all questions without any issues. Whether the police would believe him or not, Sebastian didn't worry. After all, he believed that honesty would save him.After the series of questions were over, Sebastian left the police station. He was taken by surprise to find a horde of reporters waiting for him outside. Sebastian was bombarded with endless questions. He had difficulty getting past them and needed tight security just to get into his car.Not a single question was answered by Sebastian himself. His PR team and lawyers handled all the inquiries. Sebastian sat in the car, massaging his throbbing temples. Sebastian Lim stared at his ph

For days, the news and the CCTV recording of Sebastian Lim had remained in the public and media spotlight. The news and speculation about Sebastian's actions and motivations were like a wildfire, and accusations and assumptions kept piling up. Some believed Sebastian had damaged his brother's car in a bid to eliminate a major heir to the Lim family's Trust Group, accusing him of being ruthless and cruel just to secure control of the company.Sebastian felt the heat of the news intensifying each day. Moreover, the news started involving Nora, placing her under Sebastian's care. This made him panic, and he did everything possible to prevent the media from dragging Nora into the ongoing case. Sebastian didn't want his daughter to be associated with these false accusations and speculations, and he aimed to protect her from all of this.He searched for various solutions to extinguish the firestorm but, unfortunately, couldn't find any evidence to clear his name from the looming legal threa

The wind changed for only a brief moment, and it didn't completely eliminate all the issues facing Sebastian. The wind kept blowing, albeit gently, but Sebastian knew that the wind would soon pick up and turn against him once more.The news of Christopher Lim's accident, which implicated Sebastian Lim as the perpetrator of the car sabotage, continued to circulate in the media and among the public. The internet had recorded everything, making the case unforgettable. Even the video footage of Sebastian, which had initially been blocked by internet security, continued to spread everywhere. Remove one, and a thousand others would appear. This was why, within just a few days, the wind shifted direction and relentlessly attacked Sebastian without pause.Now, all news pages and broadcasts were filled with stories about Sebastian Lim, both his corruption case and the celebrity scandal. Everything was mixed together, capturing full attention from the public.Sebastian found himself back in the

Though it was late, Sebastian realized that he had wasted a lot in this world, and one of the squandered things was time.Time is an extremely precious asset that shouldn't be squandered. Time is an opportunity, it's what makes a person stand where they are now.Seeing Viona and Stevan leaving the Lim Mansion made Sebastian realize that he had wasted so much time. Instead of seeking true love and letting go of his desire for revenge over Viona's betrayal, he had spent his time with meaningless women. Five to ten minutes of initial pleasure that led to mere satisfaction, followed by empty conversations that left no meaningful trace in every second. He had squandered a lot of energy and money on issues that had no real significance in his life. It left Sebastian feeling empty, and he was ending up in a sad place. Growing old without a loving partner, without a mother who trusted him, without children. However, Nora was Christopher's flesh and blood, not his own. It meant he had nothing

She excused herself to go to the ladies' room hastily, avoiding the gazes of the people around her. Her face was wet. Viona cried, thinking about her son's fate. But it didn't stop there; she was also overwhelmed with deep regret about her past. If she hadn't acted recklessly, caught in the whirlwind of lust, perhaps things wouldn't have been so messy now. Perhaps Stevan would have been born under different circumstances. Stevan, the child who was destined to be hers, the pride of her future. The child she believed was meant for her, and fate had something else in store for her. She was sure that what was meant for her could never be taken away by anyone else, especially not Stevan's destiny as her child.If she could have been a more morally upright woman, Stevan might have been born under his biological father's protection. Viona tried to recall who else had been involved with her while she was with Sebastian. She had a list of possibilities to ponder. One of them could be Stevan's

Three Months After Tera Spent Time with Nora!Sebastian Lim sat restlessly beside Tera—precisely inside the aircraft cabin soaring above the European land. They were en route to Switzerland for a year-end holiday after completing business in London. A brief vacation amid the CEO responsibilities at Trust Group was a privilege Sebastian cherished. When else would he have the time and opportunity to introduce Nora to the outside world, especially to snowy Europe? Nora would undoubtedly love the winter season, as the little girl often watched it in her favorite shows."Sir, is it true that Mrs. Herlinda will join us in Switzerland?" Tera asked, trying to ignore her boss's uneasiness."Yes, but not for a few more days. Mam is busy handling business in Indonesia.""In that case, may I leave earlier from this holiday?""What do you mean?""This is the year-end vacation I've been looking forward to all year. I promised to spend it with my sister in our hometown. So, I intend to ask for permi

On the first day as Nora's caregiver, Tera Vic took on the responsibility, leaving all meetings and tasks to fulfill the duty assigned by Da Lao Ban - taking care of a tantrum-throwing toddler longing for her father.Tera invited Nora and Sofia to play together in Sebastian Lim's private room within the main office. The room was filled with various toys, dolls, a fridge with play food, a hot water dispenser for making milk, a bottle sterilization machine, and other necessities.Originally Sebastian's resting place, the room transformed into a temporary bedroom for his child during office visits. Tera had heard that occasionally Da Lao Ban brought his toddler to the office, spending the entire day in the room due to Sebastian's unending business engagements.Sebastian Lim, known as a single man with a child, appeared worn-out and tired that day. Some new employees, like Tera, initially speculated about Sebastian being a single father due to a pregnancy outside of marriage, but Tera's s

Tera bid farewell to some guests in the Lim family mansion's flower garden. It was Mrs. Herlinda's birthday, and Sebastian organised an exclusive surprise party for his mother. Tired of repetitive pregnancy questions at the main event, Tera sought solace in the quiet right wing of the mansion near an artificial lake and lush trees, enjoying a cup of sweet tea.Unexpectedly, she found Raymond and Ethan there, sipping coffee and laughing. Seeing three cups, she guessed one was Sebastian's."What are you doing here, dear?" Sebastian appeared, embracing Tera."You startled me!" Tera exclaimed as she turned around."Look, we have a Tera here!" Ethan grinned.Sebastian explained their presence, and Tera playfully accused him. The trio enjoyed coffee while Tera and Sebastian shared a moment on a sofa.Raymond remarked on the surprising turn of events, referencing Sebastian's past visit to a club in a state of sexual frustration. Ethan chuckled, pointing out their happiness at Tera and Sebast

"For someone who's not fighting for anything, you also don't have the right to question me!" Sebastian replied."Are we going to continue like this? Arguing and fighting! Are you tired? I am exhausted. It's sickening to keep arguing with you!""If you're feeling sick, then I'm nauseated! I'm sick of your attitude!" Sebastian growled."Seb, what's wrong with you? Are you the same Sebastian I met yesterday, or are you a disguised ghost?""Cut the crap, Tera! Answer honestly, who's in your womb!" Sebastian didn't accept any nonsense and attacked her with a loud voice.Tera was stunned. She didn't expect Sebastian to respond so harshly."Seb..." Tera whispered."Don't cry! I don't want to see tears today! No more melodrama or nonsense! I just want an honest answer. Whose child is it, Tera? Is the child mine?"A teardrop rolled down the corner of Tera's eye. Her eyes widened perfectly due to the pressure and Sebastian's anger. She didn't expect the calm morning to turn into chaos."I don't

which is cool in the middle of thriving vineyards. A woman steps between the cabernet sauvignon on the left and right. Cabernet sauvignon is one of the most famous types of grapes and is widely used as the main raw material for making quality wine. The fruit grows abundantly, clustered and hanging ready to be picked. Tera enjoyed the view and the very cool morning air with a big smile on her lips. A smile which then received a reply from several plantation employees who were cleaning the grass which was getting taller. As obstetricians often recommend, Tera tries to have a healthier and stronger pregnancy. This morning she decided to take a morning walk as a form of light exercise that could strengthen her womb. Even though she was lazy and still sleepy, Tera fought it well. She must be able to do light exercise for the good of the child in her womb. Tera took in as much oxygen as possible and then exhaled slowly. A fresh morning intake will improve his mood. Last night Te

"this is it?" Sebastian murmured. His voice was weak. He lowered his head, avoiding Tera's gaze. She nodded softly, "Yes, this is it." She replied softly."Goodbye, Tera." Sebastian said without looking at the woman."Seb," Tera replied in kind.He turned away, his shoulders slumped, and his body language defeated.Tera stood there, motionless in front of her cabin. In the hallway, without looking back, she leaned against the wall for support. Her face was wet from the flowing tears. For some reason, the tears never failed to accompany her in moments like these.Even though this separation wasn't their first, the pain still felt just as strong."You're home already?" Thomas exclaimed as he appeared from the opposite hallway.The middle-aged man hurried to Tera, who was standing there crying by the wall. He embraced her and held her for a while, the young woman's body had become frail and fragile during the time they had been apart.Tera let her tears flow, fully venting her emotions.

Tera was restless, thinking about her unborn child, but she couldn't stop Sebastian Lim from being passionate behind her. He tried different positions to find comfort in their lovemaking, settling into the one that worked best for him. Tera moaned with pleasure, kissing as if there was no tomorrow, and Sebastian's hands firmly gripped her ample breasts."Give it to me, darling!" Sebastian exclaimed, raw and vulnerable.He released their kiss and focused on reaching his desired climax. His movements became more aggressive, rough, and Tera lost control.Amid the relentless pounding, Tera convulsed and her entire body tensed and trembled. She let out incoherent sounds of ecstasy as she reached her peak. Sebastian followed seconds later. He shuddered and thrust harder, his mouth letting out rough profanities as his body contracted and convulsed.It was an intense union filled with pent-up desire. They surrendered to each other, consumed by a longing that couldn't be contained. Tera and Se
Marry me, Now! Chapter 260
Was last night's affair so terrible that it made Sebastian turn so cold, indifferent, and arrogant towards me? Question after question swirled in Tera's mind. The Sebastian Lim she met at the party last night was entirely different from the Sebastian Lim who had barged into her room and the one she encountered this morning. The Sebastian Lim at the party had been vulnerable, openly sharing his feelings and even expressing concerns about infertility and the condition of his heart. But when he forced her last night, he reverted to the Sebastian Lim Tera had known. And now, this morning?Yes, indeed. This morning, Sebastian became even colder and more indifferent. Any trace of the gentleness and warmth that Tera had glimpsed had vanished without a trace. Sebastian looked at Tera with disinterest, and his glances seemed filled with aversion.Tera regretted her curiosity and following Sebastian, finding herself trapped in the elevator. Knowing the consequences, she should have stuck with h

What happened felt like a dream that had never come true. If only Tera hadn't woken up without clothes and only covered in a thick blanket, maybe she would have thought it was a dream in the midst of her loneliness.Tera squirmed and stretched her extremely tired muscles. It was a quick, intense lovemaking that had left her feeling completely fulfilled. She longed for all those touches. She missed Sebastian greatly. This morning, he was the only thing on her mind. She couldn't get Sebastian out of her thoughts, and all the images from last night consumed her.Thomas Vic was puzzled by his daughter's behavior. He glanced at Tera several times and became suspicious when he saw her smile grow wider and more mysterious."Uh-huh...," Thomas cleared his throat, breaking Tera's reverie at the breakfast table, "It seems like someone is in a good mood this morning.""A beautiful morning should start with happiness. So, smile, Dad.""What happened last night? Did Arnold confess his feelings to
