[Darlington Briggs:]

I was so happy when Amara finally forgave me. I stood up and told her, "Let's return to the dining room to join your parents for dinner. You know, since I arrived here in the countryside, I went home to see my grandpa and my dad, but my dad doesn't seem happy to see me."

"Really?" Amara asked me, her big blue eyes twinkling as she blushed.

"Yes, so I'm very hungry as we speak, and I need to eat something," I said, standing up from her bed.

Amara refused to get up as I observed that she had eaten to her stomach's satisfaction before she made a fuss and fled the dining room just as her parents and I joined her at the dining table.

"I cannot return to the dining room for now. Not to worry, as long as you have ended whatever relationship you had with Jenna Colton. I'm happy now, and I have forgiven you," Amara said, as she sat up on the bed again and looked at me.

"Or should I be going back home? It's getting late, or do you want me to sleep here with you?" I asked, t

    [Darlington's POV]As my father's mansion wasn't far from Chief Matthew Nicholas's mansion in the countryside, I arrived home and entered our house."Darlington, you're back?" My father's sister, Aunt Tina, asked me."Yes, Aunt. Where is my father?" I inquired of her. Though my father owned the big house, he allowed his family to live there, since we were based in the city."He's with our Dad in his room.""Okay, Aunt. Thank you. How about your family? My cousins and their Dad?" I inquired, knowing I didn't wait to see them before, when I had arrived, as I quickly rushed to keep my bag and to ask my Dad for Chief Matthew's home.It had been a long time since I last came to this area. So I hadn't expected to see the magnificent homes that now graced the beautiful streets, compared to the old houses that were previously there."They're all fine. They just finished having dinner now and had all retired back to their rooms." Aunt Tina told me, and I smiled at her."Okay, Aunt." I walked a

I asked Samara."Yes, but do you think it’s right to leave only Amara at home?

    Jenna Colton. "Huh!" My jaw dropped as I saw Collins with a golden ring, down on one knee in front of everyone, proposing to me. We stood in the hallway, not disturbing the others who had come for emergency treatment. Since it was no longer clinic hours, the hospital was less crowded than it usually was in the morning when a lot of outpatients filled the lobby and hallways. "Aww!" My eyes welled up with tears as I saw some fans pulling out their phones to record me. They awaited my response, and since I wanted to get out of the hospital ward quickly, I said yes, knowing that this was a new chapter of my life. Since Collins was ready to marry me, not minding my flaws and wanting to have me as his wife, I had to accept his ring. So I told him, "Yes. I accept."

    **Jenna Colton** I awoke in my room to a fresh start of a new day. I decided to visit Darlington at his company to see him directly, rather than just talking over the phone as we had been trying to do. I knew that Darlington had blocked me, but I still wanted to see him. It had been a week since Darlington told me off and asked me to move on, but I didn’t want to adhere to it. Also, Lily’s brother had invited me to one of his clubs to meet with him, but I didn’t want to visit him. I desired to meet with Darlington first to know if there was still any hope of our relationship rekindling. After finishing my bath, I got out of the bathroom and dressed in a blue sleeveless dress, wanting to look pretty as I paired it with black shoes. I stepped out of my closet and went to adjust my hair in front of my room mirror. I wanted to look presentable before Darlington, so I exited the house, holding onto my car key and my black purse. So far, my father had been improving in his health, but

"How are you and my baby doing?""I'm fine; our baby and I are good," I replied, a cute blush on my face. Darlington smiled and said, "That's good. I'm going to the office today. You remember that your dad wants to partner with me. Although he mentioned he would like you to be present, he hasn't spoken about the date for signing the partnership deal.""Does my dad want to come and visit us?"

Hot and spicy," Lily teased me."That's enough of the teasing, Lily," I shouted at her. "I know you want me to move on from Darlington too, but I guess you haven't honestly been in love.""Oh, really? Tell me what love is all about," Lily inquired. I shook my head and went to pack my handbag that my younger sister, Rita, had brought from home."I don't have time to teach you about love. But I know what I want, and what I want, I shall get."Lily's eyes widened as I looked at her, and she burst out laughing once more. "Hahaha, how do you plan to win Darlington back? Tell me. Do you intend to kidnap him and force him to marry you, or do you want to harm his wife and eliminate her to have Darlington all to yourself now?"I paused packing my handbag and looked back at Lily's face."None of the suggestions.

    Jenna's POV:I was still in the hospital, awaiting discharge. Although my father's health had improved and he had been moved from the intensive care unit after waking up, he suffered from a stroke that impaired his left hand and left leg. The doctor informed us that, with time, my father would improve as the stroke didn't affect his vocal cords.I was saddened by this fact as I waited for Darlington, who had promised to show up. However, he didn't. I called his phone several times, but it was switched off.As it got late, I was free to move around my hospital ward.

She wore a long white nightdress and laid on her side, ignoring me and not welcoming me.I frowned, looking from my wife to my briefcase in my hands and the gift I had bought for her.It crossed my mind that she was sad, thinking I went to spend precious time with Jenna when I had been working hard in my office, sitting for hours in my executive chair and focusing on some projects. I would have felt more guilty if I had actually gone to see Jenna, especially since I had switched off my phone after I told her I wouldn’t be able to meet her."Babe," I called Amara's attention as I carefully dropped my briefcase on the couch in our cozy bedroom. I walked over to the bed covered with a white mattress to meet Amara."Babe," I said, sitting on the bed beside her, but she turned to the other side to look away from me, not wanting to speak.I
