After taking a few steps, Lucas Hayes stopped. 'Forget it, it's just an unknown woman, there's no need to continue to pay attention to her. It's waste time!' he thought. He followed his assistant out of the room. All along, Vanessa had been focusing all her attention on the computer screen, completely unaware that Lucas had come to that restaurant. After she finished working on the computer she ordered another set of dishes for herself, all of which she liked. When Becky arrived at this restaurant, she was completely stunned when she looked at the large table of dishes. In order to control her figure, Vanessa was very picky with food. She wanted to remain slim so that she could be attractive to Lucas Hayes long ago. She could never eat fatty foods and junk foods. In the past, Vanessa could eat healthy foods, including vegetables, f

Becky had realized how much Vanessa had changed, but she still felt that a person's appearance was easy to change, but personality preferences were not.

It was already morning, and Alex was still sleeping peacefully. He felt his blanket slipping away and pulled it back up tiredly. "Wake up, Daddy," he heard the voice, and his blanket was pulled again. "Arghh... Aaron," Alex groaned in his sleep. "Wake up, sleepy head," Aaron disturbed his dad. “Did you call me sleepy head?” Alex lifted him onto the bed and tickled him, he laughed uncontrollably. Aaron was the baby Alex had saved three years ago, after calling his friend Blake, who came down to the country with experts and different machines, and they were able to save the child's life. Aaron had grown into a very cute and smart little boy. His words were already clear, like those of a five-year-old. He had curly brown hair and deep blue eyes, just like his father. Alex adored his son, protecting and caring for him to the best of his abilities. Raising Aaron was a challenge for Alex. When he was first brought home, Alex hired two professional nurses and a nanny just to ensure he

Vanessa and Becky were at Becky's house, where the birthday girl was stressing nonstop about her party. She had called the event planner over a hundred times, ensuring everything was perfect. She wanted her party to be the talk of the town. "Calm your nerves, birthday girl, your party will be great. Why are you anxious?" Vanessa asked, finally taking the phone from Becky. "I'm Becky Miller, I have to prove that to everyone with this party. Do you know the governor is coming? My guest list is fire," Becky squeaked happily, and Vanessa laughed. The Millers were influential, and people of their caliber would definitely attend the party. "Just don't kill yourself with excitement before tonight," Vanessa teased. Becky suddenly fell quiet, looking at her friend with sad eyes. "Vanessa, you know you don't have to come if you don't want to, right?" Becky didn't want her friend to break down after seeing her ex-h

Vanessa took her time getting dressed, instructing her hairstylist and makeup artist to create a simple yet elegant look. Her nails were done an hour ago, and were a perfect combination of simplicity and class. She wore a stunning black armless gown designed with gold stones and paired with exquisite jewelry from her own brand. The latest, unreleased collection, designed with real gold and tiny diamond stones, added a touch of confidence and elegance to her overall appearance. As she checked herself in the mirror, she felt satisfied with her reflection. Her makeup highlighted her features, making her look more elegant, while her curled hair poured downwards in soft, wavy locks. "Good job," she praised her stylists, rewarding them with extra payment for understanding her instructions. With the clock striking 8 pm, Vanessa knew it was time to leave. Becky had departed earlier with her boyfriend to a hot

Alex and Vanessa chatted about light topics, they both had many questions for each other but were aware that this wasn't the right place. Vanessa's phone rang, and she excused herself to take the call from a business associate in Italy. "Yes? Mr. Desmond." A few minutes later, Lucas Hayes stepped out, feeling suffocated by Eliana's clinginess. Her clinginess was beginning to become annoying to him. He didn’t intend to bring her to the banquet, he wanted to be free to meet new and more attractive women. But she insisted and even reported to his mom before he agreed. As he breathed in, attempting to lighten his mood, his gaze fell upon a stunning woman in the distance. She was on a call, and he could only see half of her face, but her physique left him captivated. "Damn! So hot," he muttered, almost licking his lips. He looked around scanning his surroundings to ensure Eliana wasn't nearby. He smiled and

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

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.

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

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

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,"
