Lucas sat in front of his mother as he slowly sipped the coffee. His mom had called him for a brief family meeting. Immediately she heard the news about Vanessa's arrival.

"So did you get to meet Vanessa?" she questioned as Lucas did not say a word because he did not know how else to respond to his mother. After Vanessa had left years ago, she always blamed him that he was the reason why she lost everything. He lost a child and still lost a wife. Only for him to keep Eliana as his mistress, not even marrying her.

"You have to get her back. Even though you guys are now divorced, you still need to get your wife back. She's still your wife and still belongs to you. Try to put that authority before it is too late. Do you understand?" she said to him as he smiled.

"You won't tell me what to do, though. Your idea is very good. But I am planning on taking it one step at a time. I won't rush things, and I won't rush Vanessa either. She left on

    Alex, listening to the words Vanessa muttered, could clearly understand what she was trying to say. It was more than obvious that Vanessa could not continue this anymore. She was now in a tight spot. He slowly let go of her as he caressed her hair gently. "Is Lucas still stalking you? Does he want anything from you? Do you want me to deal with him?" Alex asked as Vanessa shrugged before walking into the building. He could not help but follow after her as he needed answers. He knew that there was something Vanessa was not saying. They soon entered. Vanessa sat on the sofa and motioned for him to sit. "What you don't really understand is I don't want to be involved with any of you guys anymore. I just want to be far from the both of you. Pull me back, and I don't want to be pulled back. And I think if anything should get more heated between the both of us, I won't help but fall in love with you, and I don't want that," Van

    Even though Alex never wanted this to lead to violence, he had no choice. What Lucas had just said to him made him so angry. He couldn't believe that Lucas was still labeling Vanessa as his own wife, as someone who belonged to him despite everything he did to her. Lucas, who had even started the fight, was unable to get hold of himself. He had already become so weak—just two punches from Alex. Meanwhile, Alex was still standing firm. Just then, security guards rushed towards them and separated them as they pushed Lucas out. After hearing from the bartender that Lucas was the one who came to Alex and started the fight, yelling at him, while Alex was told to leave the bar at his own accord, which he did almost immediately. Alex did not want to go home because he still had to face Aaron. So he drove back to his office and instead sat there in the darkness, thinking about everything—mostly thinking about the words that Lucas had uttered to him.

    While everything was getting heated up between Lucas and Alex, Vanessa was having the time of her life already constructing her company and visioning how it would expand and become one of the best in the state. She was so occupied that she hardly even came back home to sleep. And now that she had removed Alex from her thoughts in total, it made her concentrate more on her business. She knew what she was saying when she said that the both of them would be a distraction to her. Now that none of them were in her way, she was able to do whatever she wanted and stay away from all of them while being at peace with herself. It had been a few days since she met with Becky, and she was slowly missing her. She decided to go to her office and pay her a surprise visit. On her way to Becky's office, she had to wait for the red light as it seemed that students were crossing over to end while some were coming down from the school bus. She looked afar and she could see Alex's house. It made her rem

    Vanessa sat at the hospital bench as she waited for her turn to be attended by the doctor. It was a public hospital and the patients who wanted to be attended to were so many. It was already almost three hours since the time she arrived at the hospital and the waiting line was very long…….. Vanessa has been having stomach discomfort since the previous day and she thought that maybe she had consumed something that didn’t go well with her stomach. It was only that morning that she woke up to find that she was bleeding from down there that she decided to visit the doctor. At first she thought it was her monthly periods but had a doubt when she realized that the flow was heavy compared to her normal light flow. For the past one week, her husband had not stepped foot in that house. She was used to it. She loved him and she didn’t see anything wrong with it. Thinking about it, it was as if Vanessa was already used to him not being at home almost every day. “Vanessa,” the attend

    Vanessa stood up with struggle, she had to save her child. She dragged herself as blood trickled down her legs to the ground. “Hold in there baby, mummy is rushing to the hospital." The moment she got out of the gate, the pain became intense and she could not walk any more. She fell by the side of the road. She fumbled through her bag to get her phone. She quickly dialed her childhood friend’s number so that she could come over and help her. With too much struggle, she dialed the number which she had memorized and pressed the call button. “Becky, please save my baby, am at...” Before she could finish her words, she lost consciousness as he phone fell on the ground. At the Reid Corporation. Alexander Reid sat at his desk with his eyes fixed on the computer. His phone vibrated with an incoming call. He looked at the new number.

    Before he could utter a word, the door was pushed open and the doctor entered the ward. He took her body temperature and her heartbeat rate. “Madam, how are you feeling now?” the doctor asked. “Am feeling like my baby is not inside here.” That was the only feeling she had. The doctor looked at here, “Madam we are sorry for the loss of your baby, but again we are lucky that you are alive.” She felt her heart bleeding from pain. The joy she had did not even last for a day. The baby she had been asking for was just gone like that. She was not able to protect her child. “She pushed me down the stairs and made me lose my baby,” she cried. Alexander Reid who was listening to her could roughly guess what had happened. He moved closer to her and held her hand. He didn’t know how to console her but he had to try. “Don’t cry, don’t think about it anymore, you will get another baby, as beautiful as you.” “Really? Will I get another baby?’ she smiled then her smile faded. “But Luc

    She recalled that she had not asked him who she was and what he was doing there. Recalling what happened, she had called her friend Becky to take her to hospital but she didn’t see her when she woke up. Who could have taken her to the hospital? Could it be that man? “Are you the one who took me to the hospital?” she asked. Alexander Reid nodded his head. “How did you see me? Do you live at Queens residence?” she asked. “No, I don’t live there, you called me,” he answered. “What do you mean? I don’t recall that.” She took her phone whose power was running low and checked the call history. She realized when she dialed Becky's number, she entered one digit wrongly and the number turned out to be Alexander Reid. “Thank you very much Sir and am very sorry for bothering you that much.” Alexander Reid smiled,” am very much privileged to be of help to you,” he responded. “Am sorry,” Alexander Reid added. “Why are saying that?” Vanessa was surprised not knowing what he meant. “

    The next morning, Becky opened her eyes and was surprised to see herself in Vanessa's room. Even her clothes were changed to a night dress. She sat down and rubbed her eyes, calling out to Vanessa, but yet no answer. She stood up from the bed and slowly walked out of the room. "Vanessa," she called again, but yet got no answer. She went to the kitchen, and on the counter was her breakfast. She could not help but smile because Vanessa was treating her like a princess that she never imagined she would be. She opened it, and it was a very decent Italian breakfast, just as she expected. It seemed as though Vanessa was still connected to Italy because she refused to let go of it in any way. That was when it dawned on Becky. Vanessa had come back to work again. She couldn't even believe it. Yes, she had known Vanessa for so long and knew that she was always busy with business in Italy. But she had no idea

    Meanwhile, Lucas, seeing Vanessa again, took a huge toll on him because he was unable to believe that Vanessa would ever be able to look as good as she did, not to talk less of the rumors he heard that she now has a successful company in Italy, which she had now moved to the States. It felt like she had left and come back for revenge. It angered Luca so badly because he even talked to her, offered her a second chance with him, but she rejected without even thinking twice. Just then he heard a loud bang on the door. He opened it, and it was Eliana. As she stormed in, looking angry, she turned to him with her hands on her hips and a frown on her face. Lucas did not really care because he was still lost in his thoughts with Vanessa as he sat back down on the sofa, watching Eliana about to display her madness again. These few years had made him really see who Eliana was, and he was slowly getting tired of her.

    While Vanessa was still lost in her imagination between her and Alex, even adding up things that had not yet happened, Becky walked in, her hands full with different home appliances which she had gone to get since she believed Vanessa forgot to buy, but it would be necessary. She walked into the kitchen, dropped everything, and then went in search of Vanessa, who was still sitting by the veranda, smiling to herself as she covered her cheek, knowing it was all hot from excessive blushing. Becky stood at the doorway to the veranda for a while, staring at her, hoping that she would get to realize her arrival. But yet Vanessa was still so lost in her imagination until Becky couldn't help but clap her hands loudly while Vanessa stood up, almost about to stumble to the ground in shock as she arranged herself and turned around only to see it was Becky. She smiled and sat back down as Becky slowly walked towards her, humming a music sound.

    Alex held the door open for Vanessa, and she smiled, "Thank you." She thought to herself, He's such a gentleman, his wife is so lucky."I'm sorry I didn't get to meet your wife before leaving," Vanessa said, smiling. "I would've loved to see the woman who has such a lovely boy. I'm so jealous of her." Her heart felt a pang of emptiness at leaving Aaron, but she knew he belonged to someone else.Alex's jaw clenched, and his expression hardened. Vanessa noticed and wondered if she had said something wrong."I'm not married, and Aaron doesn't have a mother," he replied, his voice firm.Vanessa felt a surge of regret. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry." She wondered what had happened to his wife. Had she divorced him or passed away? She couldn't imagine any woman in her right mind leaving Alex and Aaron.As they drove, Vanessa told Alex her address and they used the google map.The drive took barely ten minutes, and Alex was surprised by the proximity."You live so close?" he asked, tu

    Alex was already having breakfast with Aaron. Lorraine had prepared mashed potatoes with scrambled eggs. "Daddy, water please," Aaron asked his dad for help when he couldn't reach the glass. "Here you go," Alex replied, assisting his son. Aaron took a few gulps and said, "Thank you." Vanessa was taken aback by the cozy scene before her. When she heard the little boy call Alex "Daddy," her confusion deepened. She pushed aside her curiosity and put on a warm smile. "Good morning," she greeted Lorraine politely, handing over the empty bowl. "Good morning, dear," Lorraine replied, beaming with satisfaction. "You must have enjoyed the soup." "Yes, I did. It was delicious. Thank you," Vanessa said. Lorraine almost corrected the misunderstanding, but she caught Alex's gaze and understood the unspoken cue. "You're welcome, darling. I'm glad you loved it." Alex gestured for Vanessa to take the empty seat beside him. "Come sit." Vanessa nodded and settled in. "Good morning,"
