Entering the room, Jennifer calmly guided Mia to the couch.

Once seated, she initiated the conversation. "How was work today?"

Mia responded with a cute smile, "Well, it was stressful as usual, but..." she trailed off.

"Hmm," the older woman nodded in understanding.

Twitching her lips, she said, "I'd like to express my gratitude for rescuing me that night, helping me to the hospital, and covering my medical expenses. Thank you so much."

Mia beamed with smiles, "Ah, it's nothing, Mom. All that matters is you're alright."

Eyeing the girl skeptically, Jennifer continued, "The reason why I called you here is due to an important matter. There's something I need you to do for me."

Mia's expression turned serious upon hearing this. "Anything. I'll do whatever you ask of me."

Inhaling deeply, Jennifer dropped the bombshell, "Divorce my son."

Initially, Mia felt she hadn't heard her mother-in-law correctly. Chuckling anxiously, she asked, "Whaaat did you say?"

"Divorce Shawn. That's what I wan

    In an unusual silence, Shawn found himself without words."Why hide it from me? Why reveal it now?" He questioned.Jennifer's expression dropped as she murmured sadly. "I’m sorry, Sunshine.”"But you have to do this. Marry Yvonne. It was your father's dying wish—a commitment to the Davis family. We owe it to his memory."Despite this, Shawn remained resolute, stating, "I don't care. I'm already married."With that, he marched out of the room.Jennifer slumped into the chair, feeling helpless. Now torn between her late husband and her living son, she wondered what course of action to take.Exiting his mother's bedroom, Shawn made a beeline for his study. Settling into his chair, he lit a cigarette, inhaling long puffs. The revelation of a contract existing since before his birth fueled his anger—how could he have been left completely unaware until now.What fueled his anger further was the realization that his father had scripted his future before his very birth.Was the weight of Beat

    "What did you just say?"The girls turned in the direction of the voice, and upon seeing its speaker, they froze.Unknown to them, Charlotte George had been standing on the side for a while. Upon hearing Veronica's last sentences, she couldn't help but be dazed.She approached them on her heels, asking keenly, "Vee, what did you just say? Who is married to who?"Veronica bit her lip and glanced at Mia. What was she to do now? She had inadvertently exposed her friend's secret. Guilt washed over her.However, Mia offered her a gentle smile, acknowledging that every secret would eventually come to light sooner rather than later. She turned to face Charlotte, saying, "Actually, I'm married, Ma'am. I'm married to Shawn Mandez of Beats Corporations. I know I should have told you... It's just my personal life... I wanted to keep it a secret—"Before she could finish, Charlotte rushed forward and engulfed her in a tight warm hug.Mia froze, exchanging confused looks with Veronica.After a wh

    "What do you mean?—I had her abducted!"Vivian's head spun and she felt an immediate wave of sickness hit her."Where is she now? Where did you take her?" She spoke urgently, throwing on a jacket and grabbing her phone from the bed.Barbara scoffed, "You want to go and save her? After what she did to you? Impossible!""What? What exactly did she do to me? Who said Shawn Mendez was mine to begin with?! Just tell me where you took her." Vivian pleaded helplessly."No!"Barbara was determined to keep the girl in her grasp. Opportunity came but once. “We have her already. ..”“No?” Unable to contain herself any longer, Vivian asked in a low voice, "Aren't you ashamed of yourself?""What did you say?" Her mother was stunned."I asked if you aren't ashamed of yourself! Do you ever think about me at all? About my feelings? Ever since we started living in this house, it's been torture for me! You're my mother, yet you aren't." Vivian sobbed softly, "Getting pregnant by your helper's husband—s

    As Shawn turned the doorknob of the next door, relief washed over him as he spotted his wife, Mia."Mia!" His heart raced as he hurried into the room.There she lay, lifeless on the ground, her hair disheveled and covering her face."Baby," Shawn gently shook her, pulling her close and tucking her fallen strands behind her ear.Upon seeing her tear-stained face, his heart twisted. The girl's eyes were red, and her puffy cheeks revealed she had been crying for quite some time.Without hesitation, he embraced her tightly. "I'm so sorry, Little One. It's my fault."Mia clung to her husband, gripping his back as her tears flowed. She wept until she could weep no more. After regaining composure, she whispered in a raspy breath, "I thought you weren't going to come.""I'll always come for you, my baby," Shawn reassured, kissing her hair. “I’m deeply sorry. This will never happen again. I promise.”With care, he lifted her into his arms. Exiting the warehouse, his men gladly cleared the pat

    As it was already late into the night, Shawn asked Madam Susan to prepare a room for his sister-in-law. Mia, exhausted from the draining events and aided by her husband's medicine, didn’t take long before she drifted into a deep sleep.The next morning, Vivian bid farewell to her sister before departing. However, prior to her departure, she retrieved a file from her vehicle and handed it to Mia in her bedroom."This belongs to you," she said, smiling. "Be good, okay? If you need anything at all, give me a call, and I'll be there in a second."Mia returned her sister's smile, and both girls waved each other goodbye.As Vivian left the bedroom and made her way to the front door, she encountered CEO Shawn in the lounge, sipping on a cup of coffee.Bowing, she hesitated before sharing her thoughts. "CEO Shawn, you might not know, but you once saved my life twice." She offered a small smile. "I believe fate brought us together, because now, here we are, in-laws." She chuckled nervously.Af

    Stella and her younger siblings were bewildered to see Madam Mandez. She was meant to be deceased—three years prior, they attended her burial ceremony. How was it possible for her to stand before them now?Their astonishment outweighed any excitement, rendering them unable to leap towards her in joy at the unexpected reunion after several years. Was she a ghost?"Master Davis, Madam Davis," Jennifer greeted with a subtle smile, gesturing for the visitors to take their seats.Madam Davis closed the gap between them, taking Jennifer's hands in hers and patting them comfortingly. "It must have been challenging for you these past few years. Are you alright?"She and her husband had learnt that the woman didn’t die in the accident and had been in a coma all these while, only waking up recently…Jennifer Mandez nodded, "I'm fine, thank you, Natasha. Please, take your seat."Madam Davis nodded and then took her seat beside her husband.“It’s good to see you're doing well. However, we've come

    Three years prior,As an intern, Charlotte found herself working late into the night on this particular day. Upon completing her tasks at B.Y TV building, she headed out. As she walked down the road, a young man approached her."Miss, Master Davis would like to see you. Please, come with me."Upon hearing this, Charlotte felt a mix of surprise and anticipation.The Davis family had consistently opposed her relationship with Damien, and the reasons remained a mystery to her. Perhaps, they were here to reconcile with her. That was her initial assumption.She promptly followed the man to the car, her heart beating rapidly in her chest as she got in."Uncle, Aunt," she bowed politely.Master Davis and his wife cast disdainful glances at the girl.“The reason we summoned you today is straightforward,” Madam Davis spoke. “Sever ties with our son. We don't want you for him.”Upon hearing the woman's heart-wrenching words, a wave of sadness engulfed Charlotte. "Wh-why? Did I do something wron

Without warning, he marched towards the mini lounge, retrieving a lighter from the center table.Returning to Mia, he set ablaze the documents held in his grasp before one could comprehend what was about to happen.Mia let out an immediate shriek, her eyes widening in sheer horror. "What are you—?""You are mistaken. We're eternally linked—bound forever," Shawn calmly muttered as ashes drifted to the floor.Mia blinked rapidly at him."With that resolved, let's head downstairs for dinner. It’s late," he said, changing from his robe into more casual attire.Mia remained rooted in place, her heart burdened and fatigued.

    Jennifer Mandez smiled, observing the girl's downcast expression as she joined her side. She gently took off her gloves and cradled Mia's cheeks in her palms."Be free with me, Mia. I'm your mother as well. I held that title before I resumed being Shawn's mother," she chuckled.She paused briefly before continuing, "I want you to forgive me for hurting you. I apologize sincerely. Now, I know better. You're a rare gem, and I wouldn't want Sunshine to be with anyone but you."Mia's eyes widened, "Does that mean we have your blessing to proceed…?"She nodded, grinning."Thank you, Mom!" The girl squeaked happily, and they embraced in a tight, warm hug.“Now, we have to start preparing for the wedding. The date’s just around the corner.”She nodded and they both returned back inside.Soon, the wedding day arrived. Despite the commonality of extravagant weddings among the wealthy, Shawn and Mia's celebration stood out for its simplicity. Only a select few family and friends were invited, a

    Shawn's lips tightened. "I believe you," he paused, "however, it's not you that I was referring to; it's the person behind you."‘Huh?’ Amanda's tears ceased instantly, and she swiftly turned to look behind her, as did everyone else.Anderson.Confusion swept through the room."You sending provoking pictures to Yvonne, making her rush back to the country... I was initially going to let you be. However, things changed after discovering you were the one who instigated the accident three years ago. And then you completely crossed the line by sending me those absurd threat messages," Shawn's icy voice confronted Anderson.Anderson stood, clearly taken aback. He hadn't anticipated Shawn's discovery to be so soon. He usually covered his tracks meticulously…“Why? After all these years working for Grandfather, why engage in such actions?” Shawn's brows furrowed deeply.Anderson chuckled. There was nothing to hide anymore, so why not come out clean? “Exactly.

    Upon arriving home, Shawn tenderly lifted his wife and placed her in their bedroom; she had fallen asleep during the ride. Delicately, he undressed her and tucked her into bed, taking a moment to remove her makeup with beauty wipes.As he disposed of the used wipes, Mia's phone started ringing on the nightstand. Without hesitation, he picked it up and noticed that the caller ID was unknown. He answered the call and brought the phone to his ear."Mia, I apologize. It's all my fault. Please, let's reconcile and go back to how we used to be."Upon hearing those words from the caller, Shawn's brows furrowed in irritation. Without uttering a word, he promptly ended the call. 'Dimwit.' As he placed the phone back on the stand, his thumb inadvertently pressed the photos app and opened it.He perched on the edge of the bed, smiling as he scrolled through the pictures on the girl’s phone. Soon, he stumbled upon an unexpected image—none other than a picture of himself, Shawn Mandez. In it, he

    Veronica observed, sipping her cocktail, "Ah, so you two are acquainted." She taunted Martha, "Give this cocktail a try; after all, you seem to enjoy coveting what doesn't belong to you."Martha, a hint of fear in her voice, responded quickly, "Um, I don't know him."Veronica clicked her tongue in irritation, shaking her head at Martha's facade. How could she have been so blind to see the girl’s true color all these while?Everyone eyed the person who had just stepped in with confused expressions on their faces. The boy seemed to be around their age, however, he wasn’t familiar at all. He didn't bear the hallmarks of someone from their high school."Who's he?""No idea.""Recognize him?""Not at all."Veronica smiled, reassuring them, "Relax, everyone. You're about to meet him now."Martha's heart raced, fear escalating within her.Veronica turned to the newcomer, asking, "Tell us who you are and what brings you here."The guy's eyes shifted, locking onto Martha.

    "Vicky Lewis!" Gasps echoed through the room as all eyes fixated on the newcomer.Mia was also taken aback to see her. She hadn't crossed paths with Vicky since she was expelled from high school, making tonight's encounter unexpected. Instinctively, an uneasy feeling settled within her.Was she here to bully her?However, Mia wasn't alone in her discomfort. Another individual seemed to be grappling with an even stronger sense of unease in response to Vicky's presence.'Why is she here? How did she manage to appear?' Martha gnawed on her lip, nearly drawing blood.After the girl's family faced bankruptcy and her father was incarcerated, Martha believed it spelled the end for Vicky Lewis.Despite Vicky’s persistent calls and attempts to connect, she remained indifferent, never acknowledging her.Long ago, she'd blocked her contact when her incessant calls became irritating. She wasn't responsible for her father's corruption or having a baby mama. She hadn't urged her to bully Mia to the

    Upon entering the venue, a chorus of admiration erupted as Martha made her presence known.“You're as dazzling as ever, Martha.”“Your skin is positively radiant.”“Share your beauty secrets with us.”In a chic caramel knee-length dress beautified with subtle floral patterns, paired with classic silver heels, she exuded elegance. A silver necklace firmly adorned on her neck added a touch of poise, creating a simple yet tasteful look for the one-month school reunion.Martha waved her hand dismissively, cheeks turning a rosy hue as she blushed at the compliments pouring in. “Oh, come on, you guys. Enough about me. You all look fantastic yourselves,” she chuckled, taking her seat."Ah, I know. Max is treating her well.""Trueeee!" The collective cooing echoed.Martha simply giggled. "He'll be joining us shortly also.""Thank goodness that Mia girl didn't succeed back then," remarked one of Martha's ex-classmates, and the rest nodded in agreement.Martha's expression dropped upon hearing
