Thank you for reading.
Roxanne didn't have a difficult labour. However, when the babies were placed on her chest, she felt like something was odd. "Why are they so small?" She asked worriedly. Henry who was having a wonderful moment of seeing his girls for the first time heard his wife's words and frowned. He noticed that the twins looked small. One was bigger but the other one was smaller and a little wrinkly. "What's wrong with our twins, doc?" He asked his friend. "There's nothing wrong with them, as you can see, they are crying which means, they can breathe. However, they will have to go into special care because of their low birth weight. The bigger twin which is the second born weighs 4 pounds, whereas, the smaller one weighs 3 pounds. They need to be in special care so that they can gain the right weight for discharge." "So they can't come home right now?" Roxanne asked with a shaky voice. Doctor Jericho shook his head, saying, "The bigger twin can go home in a few days but since you need t
“Congratulations, Mr and Mrs Ford. The twins' weight has improved tremendously after being in special care for four weeks. It’s safe to discharge them now,” Doctor Stephanie Wilson, a neonatologist, said after checking on Zara and Clara in the special care nursery. She was in charge of taking care of the newborn twin's health and monitoring their progress. Henry and Roxanne stood next to the newborn cribs, listening to the medical report. The doctor continued, “The firstborn has gained about 1.5 pounds and the secondborn has gained 2 pounds. Well done… you did well with the kangaroo care and the consistent feeding. Don’t stop with the special care when you go home. Make sure you keep their nursery clean to avoid contamination. They are still small and thus, susceptible to infection.” “Thank you so much, Doctor. Your help during the last four weeks is greatly appreciated,” Henry replied, happy about finally being able to go home with the twins. The doctor smiled and called the nu
Two months passed. It took some time for the twins to grow to the size of a full-term newborn. Both Roxanne and Henry took maternity and paternity leave for two months to take care of their twins. Despite hiring nurses to help them, they chose to do most of the work themselves as it brought them closer as a family and they bonded more with the babies. Larry Ford and Kenneth Smith would come over to visit the twins during that time. They would help out with babysitting to let the parents rest. The whole family helped each other in taking care of the twins. After weeks of continuous breastfeeding and extra care, the babies had gained weight. Their cheeks became squishy and their bodies were nicely plump and adorable. It was safe to say, the babies were finally out of danger. “Daddy, are we going to be on TV?” Oliver asked as Henry fixed his bow tie. “Yes, we are, son. Today, everyone will know who you are,” Henry replied, smiling. Oliver grinned from ear to ear. He said,
The internet went wild after the article was published. It was big news! Not only did Henry and Roxanne have twins! They had an eight-year-old son! Others couldn't help but discuss the new secret that had been revealed in the article. “I never knew Henry Ford had a secret son. Where's the mother?” “I think the boy is Roxanne Smith and Henry Ford's secret son. Roxanne was hidden from the world until last year. She might have been pregnant and kept it a secret. They quickly got married to hide the fact that they had a child before wedlock.” They speculated about Oliver Ford and how he came to be. However, others didn't believe he was their biological child. “I think he was adopted. Henry never dated before in his early twenties, how could he have had a secret child?” "Were you there? How did you know he never dated? Don't believe everything you see on the internet!" "Do you think they would give an adopted child shares of their company? These family businesses are strict with s
“What’s your plan? Why did you make me do this?!” Doctor Jonas Brown hissed when they arrived at their destination. "I didn't know you were the boss Jennifer was talking about." He glared at the woman in the small living room, clenching his hands into fists. Jennifer had approached him, using his past to threaten him and asked him to help her kidnap one of Roxanne's twins. Now that he knew who was behind this, he was no longer surprised. This woman was capable of anything. “This was really risky. These are the Fords we are talking about. They might find us in a few hours. No, in minutes! I need to leave now!” He yelled, feeling agitated. “Jonas, don’t complain. You did this because you owe me big time... Have you forgotten how I saved you from losing your practising licence?” The woman sneered. "I saved you from going to jail. It's only right that you help me out." The woman was none other than Miriam Hopper, Roxanne's stepmother and a fugitive. Doctor Brown's face paled. He s
An hour earlier. Roxanne held Zara close to her chest as if scared she would disappear at any moment. Her eyes were red and brimmed with tears. She glanced at Bruce and said, "Find my baby... Please... Help me find her." It had been a few minutes since they realised what had happened. Doctor Brown and Jennifer, for whatever reason, cooperated and kidnapped Clara Ford, Roxanne and Henry's second daughter. Roxanne saw the world come crumbling down. She blamed herself for trusting someone so easily that it led to the kidnapping of her daughter. "I'll call the police and have the hospital shut down. Please call Mr Ford," Bruce stated. When Bruce rushed out, Roxanne hurriedly looked for her phone in her bag. Her stomach kept twisting and turning in fear. She wanted so much to go out there and search for her child but who would she leave Zara with? No one could be trusted at this point. Not even her bodyguards. Tears streamed down her face as she found her phone and dialled H
The last hour felt like hell for Roxanne. It was as though every part of her body was engulfed in flames. She couldn't eat or drink anything, let alone sit still. Clara was out there with people whose intentions were unknown, how could she be calm? After searching the hospital, a kidnapping case was opened by the police and Roxanne was escorted back to the villa. Oliver was also picked up from school just in case this was an attack from Henry's enemies. From the villa, Roxanne waited for news from the police. Henry was on the plane, coming back, there was nothing he could do until he arrived. After some time, Roxanne received a message from Miriam. To her horror, it was a picture of her daughter. Roxanne didn't expect Miriam to send someone to infiltrate her home to kidnap her child. Furious, she immediately called Miriam, however, it seemed the latter was hellbent on making Roxanne suffer. It took some time for Miriam to pick up the call and that's when she revealed what s
Miriam's smile froze. Regardless, she remained calm because she knew Henry wouldn't have given her fake dollar notes. "There must be a misunderstanding. Please check again," she told the female staff. "I already verified this with our counterfeit detection procedure. Officers, search these people for more counterfeit notes," the female staff instructed. "This is unnecessary. I'm a businesswoman and make all my money genuinely. If you wish to check, you're free to do so," Miriam said and willingly handed over the bag of money for the officers to check. After all, she had nothing to hide. Henry Ford was known to never engage in illegal activities so she was very sure the money he gave her was not fake. The two officers took the bag and opened it. Their eyes popped out at the amount of cash in the bag. After two minutes of going through the dollar notes, the officers shared a look and nodded. Miriam smirked when she saw this. She said, "I told you the money isn't fake-" "It

Three years later... Henry Ford woke up very early. It was the month of love and a few days before Valentine's Day. As usual, he wanted to do something special for his wife as he asked her to be his Valentine. They had been married for ten years and he always asked her days before the actual day in a special and romantic way. Since this was about them, he wanted to do everything himself. He filled up some red balloons with air and scattered them around the sitting area downstairs and the dining area. After getting busy in the kitchen, he whipped up some breakfast for Roxanne- heart-shaped pancakes drizzled with syrup and strawberries covered in chocolate. He had seen this recipe from a trending video on t-i-k-t-o-k and thought his wife would love it. He then got the roses he had got for her and put them in a glass vase before placing them on the dining table. When Roxanne woke up and looked for her husband, she woke up to the transformed living room and dining room. She
Five years later… It was a Saturday and the Fords were hosting a family braai for their son, Oliver Ford, to celebrate his new age. Roxanne sighed as she glanced at Oliver who was helping his father, Henry Ford. They stood by the barbeque grill stand, flipping meat, sausages and chicken kebabs. Oliver didn’t want a huge party on his fifteenth birthday… he just wanted to spend time with family. However, Roxanne had invited Claire Hamilton and his other friends, Liam Kent and Jake Norton. They had all grown and were now teenagers. Running around playing tag like the younger kids didn’t interest them at all. Claire and the two boys sat at one of the tables. While Claire was taking pictures of Oliver, his friends were busy playing games on their phones. “Are you impressed with your son and husband?” Heather’s voice snapped Roxanne out of her trance. “They look so cute… I swear, Henry is a great Dad and Oliver adores him,” Roxanne replied, glancing at her husband dreamily as he
Diego and Henry rushed to the mansion in less than twenty minutes as if there was an emergency. Henry looked for his wife when he entered the mansion, yelling, "Roxy? Baby, where are you? Let's go to the hospital!" At the same time, Diego followed after him and called for Yolanda, "Princess, let's go to the hospital. The earlier the better!" They both paused when they found their women in the living area laughing and chatting with Larry Ford and Kenneth Smith. Henry furrowed his eyebrows. He remarked, "I thought you said you're not feeling well. You look fine to me..." Larry Ford glared at his grandson. He scolded him, "Son, if your wife says she's not feeling well, then find out what could be wrong with her first before concluding. Should I teach you everything?" Henry scratched the side of his neck. He tried his best to be a good husband but there were times like this when he had faults. Being human, he was bound to make mistakes or maybe say something wrong. He wasn't perfe
Two months had passed since Yolanda and Diego got married. Although they were happy, Diego had noticed that his wife missed her job. Yolanda was an independent woman who loved working for her own money... Of course, Diego provided for her but he could see that she wasn't used to staying home and shopping only. It would even affect her mood sometimes. Diego thought about a way to have his wife get back to her job. Quite alright, it would be dangerous for her to be in the spotlight with all their rivals targeting them but that was why he was around, right? It was his job to protect Yolanda and ensure her life didn't change just because she fell in love with him. So, before he could bring it up to her, he met with his brother and requested to move back to Brentwood City. Augusto glanced at Diego after he made his request, his brows furrowing as he asked, "What is it? Is this place not up to her standards?" "No... it's not that. I just want her to be happy and if doing her job mak
Yolanda's heart was galloping like a racing horse. Diego's promise echoed in her mind, making her look forward to what he would do to her. She tilted her head up, asking for a kiss and Diego didn't disappoint. He connected his lips to hers and kissed her hard. They began to move towards the bed and Yolanda fumbled with Diego's buttons as she tried to undress him. Meanwhile, Diego was busy deepening the kiss with every second that passed. He grabbed the back of her head while the other hand reached between them and he stroked her core, rubbing her clit with every movement of his fingers. Yolanda moaned against his lips. She failed to get rid of Diego's suit and instead, wrapped her arms around his neck and jumped on him, coiling her legs around his ripped torso. In that position, Diego held Yolanda's ass and began grinding his massive erect shaft into her bare core... Despite it being hidden by the branded pants he had on, Yolanda could still feel the tip of his rod, digging at he
Diego carried Yolanda into the cabin. Yolanda's eyes grew wide as she looked around. If she thought the outer form of the cabin was dreamlike, the inside was like paradise itself. The wooden cabin wasn't big. It was like one big room with a small kitchen in the corner, a huge bed in the center, a bubbling hot tub on the left near one of the windows and a bathroom on the right side. The bathroom area had an enclosure for privacy. Not only did they have several acres of land to themselves, but they were surrounded by maple trees with fiery red leaves which could be seen through the huge windows. The whole place was giving "leave the world behind vibes". It offered a perfect blend of romance, peace and refreshment for the newly married couple. "Are we still in our family's estate?" Yolanda asked and Diego smiled. He loved especially the way she used the word 'our' in her question. Sliding an arm around Yolanda's waist, Diego pulled her closer and then put her at his front bef
Diego Montero realised something. He loved Yolanda with his all. Whether he waited weeks or months to propose, she would still be the woman he would want to spend the rest of his life with. Yes, they didn't know what tomorrow may bring. But who ever knows? Everyone jumps in without knowing the obstacles they will face in the future. If there's anything he learnt from his former boss, Henry Ford. It's that as long as you had your loved one by your side, any other problem felt like a passing breeze. After talking to his brother, Diego asked the housekeepers to help out with the proposal. Of course, the housekeeper who had helped Dahlia was fired. In the Mafia, loyalty was everything. Diego instructed the bodyguards to control the drones he had shipped over earlier before they travelled. Augusto helped too. He stood downstairs near the drones, waiting for midnight so that they could control the drones to help Diego propose. Yolanda woke up and they had dinner outside on the balc
Diego didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glanced at Dahlia and asked, "Why did you come back? If you had stayed hidden, at least I would have had good memories of you... but now... you disgust me." "D-Diego... that's not true. Your brother forced himself on me. That's why I faked my death. I was so ashamed-" "Shut up! Aren't you tired of scheming? Do you think I can believe you over my brother? My brother came from the same womb as I... we may fight and not speak to each other for years, but I know he would never do anything to hurt me," Diego's words sliced through the air like shards of ice, cutting Dahlia's words in the middle. "That's not true... why did you leave? It's because you hated your family!" Dahlia answered confidently. She wasn't convinced that Diego had moved on. He loved her very much and could do anything for her... how could his love for her end so quickly? Diego shook his head. He replied, "I left because I was hurt that they didn't want to avenge yo
