Troy’s P.O.V

"Ms. Johnson can go home this afternoon. Please take care of the paperwork at the front desk."

"Alright, thank you, doctor!" I replied with a nod. Afterward, I asked my secretary to handle everything. Elena, my new secretary, had also prepared all the baby supplies at Sarah's house.

Yesterday, Gillian and I, without Sarah's knowledge, designed a room in the house as a nursery. The room was right next to Gillian's room, which connected to the master bedroom.

"Everything's ready, Mr. Peterson," Elena reported through a message on my phone.

I helped Sarah pack up.

"Troy, I'm sorry! I've been such a burden. You must have missed important meetings at the office." Sarah had changed out of her hospital gown and into her own clothes.

"Burden? I did it willingly," I had already closed and locked Sarah's small suitcase.

Sarah smiled. I helped her off the bed and onto the sofa. We were waiting for Prince to be brought to the room.

"Oh by the way, Elena. Send all the a

    Sarah’s P.O.V"Good afternoon, ma'am. Here's a parcel from Mr. Peterson."A beautiful woman introduced herself as Troy's secretary, showing up early with a basket of fruit."Thank you, Elena. Why didn't you send the driver? You must have left your work at the office.""It's okay, ma'am. This was Mr. Peterson's order!" she replied with a smile as she placed the parcel on the living room table."Alright then, I'll head back to the office." Elena said goodbye with a polite nod. Then the tall, elegant woman turned and walked towards the yard."Thank you, Elena." I escorted Troy's secretary to the porch. The office car and driver were waiting for her in the yard. But suddenly, my eyes caught sight of a slightly scary-looking man trying to come in. But two security guards at the gate stopped him.One of the security guards finally approached me."Ma'am, that man wants to see you. His name is Derrick.""W-what? Derrick?" My heart was suddenly beating fast.Wasn't Derrick in prison?

    "Troy!" I suddenly stood up.I felt relieved seeing Troy suddenly appear near the gate and walk towards me.Wait, what had he just said? Future wife?"Are you okay, honey?" Troy was suddenly right in front of me, cupping my face with his hands.I was really surprised and unprepared for his actions. Ah, maybe Troy was just pretending in front of Derrick. So that he would think Troy and I had a special relationship. Ah, Troy always had his tricks. But his actions successfully made my heart race."Yeah, Troy. I'm fine."Derrick didn't seem happy. He turned away in annoyance."Sarah, where's Gillian? She's my daughter too. I have the right to see her," he snapped without looking at me."What do you want with Gillian? Kidnap her again?" Troy stood with his hands on his hips, not far from Derrick. Troy's tall, sturdy frame made Derrick look smaller and shorter."Don't accuse me and stay out of it! This is a family matter!" Derrick started to get angry, his eyes glaring at Troy.Tro

    "Welcome back, Ms. Johnson!" "Good morning, Ms. Johnson!" I nodded and smiled. Almost all the employees greeted me. Starting today, I returned to my company, Johnson Corp. Meanwhile, I entrusted Albert's business and company to Troy. Prince was now two months old. I had a freezer stash of breastmilk for when I was not at home. As Troy had said, his little champion should not be deprived of breast milk. Troy regularly visited us. In a week, he would come three times. Especially on Saturdays and Sundays, he spent the whole day playing with Gillian and Prince. "Good morning, Ms. Johnson. Let me take you to your new office!" Calvin approached me as soon as I arrived on the ground floor of the office. I nodded, then walked alongside Calvin. This tall young man had been assisting Albert for years. Albert's personal assistant was very reliable. Since Albert fell ill and I became pregnant until today, Calvin has managed the company under my supervision. "Please come in, Ms

    "To the mall? It's unusual for you to be here, Troy."Troy's car stopped in front of a mall near my office. Troy, whose face was well-known to the public, rarely visited crowded places like this."I want to buy something. Later, you can help me choose," he said after opening the car door.We entered the mall, which was quite busy with visitors, probably because it was lunchtime.As we walked, Troy became the center of attention for the women around us. Yes, who wouldn't recognize the handsome man walking with me? Troy, who used to be active in showbiz, had a face familiar to the women in this mall. I used to idolize Troy Peterson myself.My feet kept pace with the steps of this tall, handsome man until we stopped in front of a well-known jewelry store."Are you going to buy jewelry, Troy?"He nodded indifferently."Wow, looks like someone's in love. This jewelry must be for your girlfriend," I guessed. But why did I feel a tightness in my chest? Why did I feel reluctant with my

    "Troy, from now on, you need to keep your distance from my children," I said casually as we enjoyed our lunch.Clang!I was startled when Troy suddenly stopped eating, dropping his knife and fork."Troy, I mean…"Troy looked at me sharply, his gaze piercing right through me. Was he angry? Was this not for the best? Didn’t he already have a girlfriend?I heard a sharp breath from the handsome man in front of me."Troy, are you mad?" I asked cautiously."What do you think?" Troy turned his gaze away from me. Why did he look so annoyed? Did I say something wrong?"I'm... I'm sorry if I made you angry. But isn't this for the best? I'm worried there might be a misunderstanding with your fiancee," I explained slowly.I hoped Troy would understand."What? Fiancee?" he asked.I nodded."You bought the jewelry earlier for your fiancee, right? Your fiancee would surely be upset if she knew you were close to the children of a widow."I exhaled roughly."Being a widow is always compl

    Troy’s P.O.V “Stop covering up, I've already seen it.” I continued to tease Sarah. She kept holding the front of my oversized jacket on her body. Conveniently, the jacket didn’t have front buttons.“Shut up, Troy!” she snapped, looking out the window.This beautiful woman who had turned my world upside down didn’t seem to understand the attention I had been giving her all this time.Even if Albert hadn’t asked me to take care of her and her two kids, I would still do it willingly.The traffic was terrible. Sarah was busy fiddling with her phone.“Prince is getting bigger. I want to take Gillian and Prince to my villa in the mountains. It’s not far. Would you like to come?”“Won’t your fiancee be mad?” she asked without looking at me, still focused on scrolling through social media on her phone.Good heavens. She was still talking about my fiancee. Was it possible she was jealous?“No. I already told you that my fiancee is kind, understanding, and patient,” I said, glancing at

    "What's going on? Who are they? Why are they in front of my house?"I panicked seeing several men and women in front of the gate. Some of them were holding cameras."Reporters and some from TV stations," Troy hissed without taking his eyes off the crowd not far from us."What? Reporters?" My eyes widened again seeing those people. Troy started driving the car closer."Tighten the coat you're wearing. We're getting out!" Troy urged."I don't want to. What do they want anyway?" I asked, panicking."How long are we going to stay here? They are news hunters. They won't leave until they get what they want.""This is definitely because we went to the mall earlier," I regretted.Troy glanced at me. I had already adjusted the coat I was wearing, covering the front of my body completely.Troy's car was almost right in front of the gate. All eyes suddenly turned towards us."Don't get out yet. Wait for me to open the door for you. Don't say anything and don't deny whatever I say later,

    "Mom, what are you and Uncle Troy doing?" Suddenly, Gillian looked at us alternately in confusion.We were startled and immediately kept our distance. I tried to regain my composure.That was way too close! Besides, what was Troy trying to do by getting so close?"M-mommy had something in her eye. I was trying to clean it. Your poor mommy was crying," Troy answered, making me glare at him again.Gillian nodded in understanding. She looked at my eye, which Troy had just pointed to."Don't cry, Mom! Let Uncle Troy clean it," Gillian said in an adult-like manner, making Troy and me chuckle."Where's Baby Prince, Mom?" she asked as she walked towards Prince's room."Prince just fell asleep, sweetie. Go eat and then rest, okay?"My daughter nodded and walked into her room. One of my housekeepers followed her to the room.Troy looked at me again."Were you... crying because you miss Albert?" he asked softly."Hmmm... maybe," I replied awkwardly.If only he knew I was crying becau

    Arnold and Erica's faces became tense as they saw the doctor standing in the doorway."How is she, doctor?" Erica couldn't wait to hear about Irene and her baby."Congratulations, sir. You have a healthy baby girl," the female doctor said, and for a moment, Arnold and Erica breathed a sigh of relief.But their faces remained anxious, as they still hadn't heard about Irene's condition."How is the mother, doctor?" Arnold asked, his voice trembling."Are you her husband?" The doctor looked at Arnold intently."Y-yes, doctor," Arnold stammered, feeling guilty for never accompanying Irene to her hospital visits."Sir, Irene's condition is... critical. We are still trying to stop the bleeding. Please pray for her."Arnold was stunned by the doctor's words. He couldn't say anything as the doctor turned and left him and Erica in the waiting room."Oh God, what kind of husband am I? Erica... Erica... Irene is critical. What should I do?" Arnold shook Erica's body in frustration."All

    "Irene, are you okay? Is Arnold taking good care of you?" Erica asked in a panic when Irene contacted her. Irene's voice sounded hoarse and rough, making Erica worried."When are you coming back to Jaketon? I want you to be here when I give birth.""Wait, where's Arnold? Is he still not paying attention to you?" Erica's concern grew. She rarely received calls from Arnold, except when there was a work-related issue that needed to be discussed."Arnold... he says he's very busy with work."Erica let out a heavy sigh. From Irene's voice, she suspected Erica was in trouble. But it seemed that the heavily pregnant woman was still keeping things to herself."Alright, Irene. I'll finish my work here. I'll try to come back before you give birth. You and your baby need to stay healthy, okay?""Thank you. Thank you!"After hanging up with Irene, Erica sent a message to Arnold, urging him to be more attentive to Irene. However, Erica did not answer Arnold's calls when he tried to reach her

    Sarah squealed as Troy lifted her. Her husband's strong arms carried her bridal-style toward an enormous bed. The beautiful bed was surrounded by thin yet lovely curtains, and sprinkled with rose petals that filled the room with a fragrant aroma."The doctor said we're allowed now, ahem... so, it's okay, right?" Troy gently laid Sarah's body on the luxurious and comfortable bed.Sarah smiled, her face blushing as Troy hovered over her. His face was so close to hers."I've missed you too, Troy!" The beautiful woman wrapped her arms around Troy's neck, and he couldn't wait any longer. He began planting kisses on Sarah's face, which soon turned into passionate lip-locks that he couldn't get enough of.It was unclear who initiated it, but a few minutes later, they had both discarded everything that was on their bodies. Like their first night, they were eager to satisfy each other. The intense expression of love and the deep longing drove Troy wild. He didn't want to miss even an inch o

    "Honey, are you awake?" Troy gently caressed Sarah's face. She blinked, just waking up from her sleep. Sarah turned onto her side to face Troy."What time is it?""It's six in the morning. We're still going to the office today, right?"Sarah sat up. "Of course. You're going to the office too, right?""Yes, darling. Oh, by the way, how's the breastmilk stash for Kingsley? Do we have enough?""More than enough," Sarah replied, hurrying to the bathroom to freshen up. Unbeknownst to her, Troy quietly followed her into the bathroom, which she had forgotten to lock. Ever since giving birth to Kingsley, Sarah usually remembered to lock the door."Troy!" Sarah squealed, surprised to see Troy standing behind her just as she was undressing.Troy's heart raced at the sight of his wife's body, which he hadn't touched in almost two months. This morning, Troy felt bold enough to approach Sarah, especially after the doctor confirmed yesterday that she had fully recovered. She had also complete

    "Are we going home now, honey?" Irene asked as she sat up on the gurney. The IV needle had just been removed from her hand. Her face still looked pale."Just a moment," Arnold replied curtly without turning to look at her, making Irene take a deep breath to ease the pain that kept gnawing at her. Since Erica left, Irene noticed that Arnold had been pacing back and forth, trying to call someone on his phone. She guessed he was trying to reach Erica, but she wasn't answering.Irene sat silently, waiting for Arnold, who was still pacing in front of her. Theresa, who had promised to return, ended up not coming back."Alright, let's go home. Can you walk?" Arnold asked as he watched Irene, who was struggling to get down from the gurney with her weak body."Excuse me, ma'am, please use this wheelchair. Your body is still very weak." An ER staff member offered a wheelchair. Irene, who had just stood up from the gurney, slowly sat down in the wheelchair. The staff then pushed the wheelchai

    "Yes, congratulations again on your wife's pregnancy. If the observations go well, she can go home this evening."Arnold only nodded at the doctor's explanation. He remained silent even after the doctor left the room. What he had just heard was completely unexpected."H-honey, aren't you happy that I'm pregnant?" Irene asked in a trembling voice. Her chest felt tight, unable to find any trace of happiness on Arnold's face after hearing about her pregnancy. Instead, she saw confusion and surprise. Irene tried to suppress the sadness and disappointment she felt."Is it because it's not Erica who's pregnant?" Irene asked again, this time steeling herself to hear Arnold's response."Don't overthink it. Mom and Dad will be thrilled. I'll go out for a bit." Arnold quickly left Irene and headed to the waiting area in front of the ER.'It's only his mom and dad who are happy. Arnold isn't.' Irene clutched her chest, which felt overwhelmingly tight, trying to hold back her tears. She strug

    Diego hugged Carrie tightly. His heart was finally at ease. The different traumas they had both been struggling with had finally been overcome.The same was true for Carrie. Since she had been secretly seeing a psychiatrist a month after marrying Diego, the trauma from her past had gradually faded. The beautiful woman with reddish hair had slowly been able to forget the painful memories of her past after several months of treatment. However, she was reluctant to be upfront with Diego about her recovery. She also felt too proud to make the first move or ask Diego not to leave her in bed."Where are you going, honey?" Carrie clutched her husband's strong arm one night while they were being intimate. But Diego still got up and left her."Sorry, Carrie. I-I just can't..."Carrie was stunned by her husband's rejection. She couldn't understand why Diego kept choosing to satisfy his desires in the bathroom."Should I just tell him that I'm better now? Shouldn't he realize that I'm no lon

    "Why are you in such a hurry, honey? Weren't you supposed to stay here for three days?" Irene had been watching Arnold eat quickly since he left the bedroom. Her husband hadn't said much since then. The sweet words or loving gestures that should be present between newlyweds were completely absent for Irene. It was as if Arnold had already forgotten what happened last night.Arnold didn't answer. He only glanced briefly at Irene, who was sitting across from him. A few minutes later, he got up, grabbed his car keys from the table, and said, "I'm leaving. Don't wait for me!" Without waiting for Irene's response, Arnold hurried out to his car. He only gave a brief glance at Irene, who was watching him leave with an unreadable expression. But Arnold didn't care. His mind was entirely focused on Erica. He felt guilty about his first wife.'Erica, forgive me. What did I do last night? What if Irene really gets pregnant? It will be difficult to divorce her later.' Arnold ran his hands thro

    Irene was still sobbing, her back turned to Arnold. She lay there, trying to endure the pain, not just physically but also emotionally. Without realizing it, Arnold had mentioned Erica's name at the end of their bedroom session, which made Irene's pain multiply tenfold.Arnold quickly fell asleep from exhaustion beside Irene. He felt relieved that the desire he had been harboring since that morning was finally satisfied. Although it was Erica he truly wanted, Irene was still legally his wife.After crying her heart out, Irene tried to get up and clean herself. Slowly, she sat at the edge of the bed, reached for her clothes, and put them on again.She remembered her mother-in-law's request earlier that morning. Drew had called her and spoke over the phone."Irene, you need to get pregnant as soon as possible! We know Arnold hasn't touched you yet. You have to make him sleep with you!" Drew's words over the phone had shocked Irene."Mom... how do you know... that I haven't been... t
