"Oh my god!" Anna exclaimed, her eyes almost buldging out of her socket.

"That's not Mummy," Lisa said, finally pushing through.

"Lisa, Liam, come back inside now," Lily called to them gently.

"Are those?" Anna murmured, pointing from Liam to Lisa.

Liam grinned and replied, "I'm older, though."

Teressa shook her head and said again, "Inside now, the both of you."

"Oh my god! They are twins," Anna shouted.

Jerry Philips stood there, trying to make sense of what he was seeing. These children were his grandchildren, but he had allowed all the hate and selfish reasons to deny him their knowledge.

"No, you're not," Lisa said, rolling her eyes.

Tina stretched out her hand to them and pulled them both inside before turning to Jerry and Anna.

"Thank you for coming; we will get your message across to Laura when she gets back. It's best you get on your way now," she said.

Lily turned into the room without saying another word to them while Tina stood there to ensure that they actually did board

    "Hi, Tim, could you please get us two cups of..." Jason was saying this on the phone when he turned and saw the expression on Laura's face."Laura?" Jason asked, his brows furrowed in confusion as he looked at her. He dropped the phone as he moved away from the desk.Tim was left hanging on the phone as he continued to ask, "Cup of what?"Laura stood there motionless, the phone to her ears as she continued to stare at Jason."What is wrong?" Jason asked, dropping the phone and moving towards her."What did you just say?" Laura muttered quietly into the phone."Stay exactly where you are," Laura said into the phone after a few seconds of listening to whoever was speaking on the other end. She ended the call and walked abruptly to her bag."Laura?" Jason said, grabbing her by the right arm to halt her in her strides.At that moment, Tim walked into the office, his eyes darting from Laura to Jason as he said, "You didn't finish your statement," adding, "Is everything okay?"Jason looked

    When Jason entered his suite, he found Shawn sitting there, making himself at home."Shawn?" Jason called out in surprise."Hey, little brother, I see you're back from showing your new interest around town," Shawn said, sipping a glass of wine."Isn't it too early to be an a**?" Jason asked, walking into the living room and falling face down on the couch.Shawn was casually dressed, and he had on his boot, which meant he had gotten to the suite not too long before Jason had entered."You should learn to relax, Jason; you're not going to stay in that office for long, so there's no point in putting in so much effort," Shawn muttered.Jason sat up and faced Shawn, his brows raised in question as he asked, "What are you doing here, Shawn? I won't bother to ask how you got in, but I'd like to know what exactly you want; I really don't have the time or energy for you this morning.""You really are worked up, it's what; say sevenish in the morning, and you're this grumpy," Shawn replied with

    The sound echoed through the hall, and Tobias glanced at Shawn and said, "What just happened?""We just saw that together; why are you asking me?" Shawn replied, moving towards the elevator.Tobias stared at the door for another few minutes before hurring over to the elevator."I thought you're going to keep staring at that door. We have more serious matters to discuss, you know," Shawn said, clicking the button for the hotel lobby."Yeah, I know, okay, go ahead, shoot, I'm all ears," Tobias said.The elevator door opened, and Shawn strolled out, a satisfied smile on his face as they walked through the lobby."Are you not going to tell me what exactly you want me to do?" Tobias asked.Shawn stared at the sky as he said, "What a beautiful day; come one, we'll talk on the way."They both got into Tobias car, and they drove away from the hotel, leaving a more intense drama behind.*********In Laura's suite, the silence was palpable as she stared at Grace, a hollow look in her eyes as sh

    Grace and Laura turned to look at the door, and they heard the words, "Room service.""You should get that, and I'll be on my way. I guess we have this settled now," Grace said.Laura looked back at Grace and said, "You are a heartless b*tch."Laura didn't see any iota of regret in Grace's eyes, which made it all the more painful. She had known Grace never liked her, but that didn't diminish the pain of hearing about what she had done."I don't care whatever you call me now, Laura, but promise me you won't go bothering Jared again," Grace asked."Why would I promise you that? If he were so against my company, I'm sure he would have made that clear to me, but his actions are completely the opposite," Laura replied."Whatever you do, Laura, let's not talk about that night again, and don't you dare drag Jared into it; I mean it, Laura," Grace said again, laying so much emphasis on her last words."And what if I don't?" Laura said it angrily. She could feel the tears at the back of her ey

    "Jason, it's me!" Laura shouted as he flipped her over.Jason had his hands on either side of her head, his hair cascading down his face. He had a look of confusion as he stared at her. His face was barely inches away from Laura's.She could see that his eyes were clouded with sleep and his brows were squeezed in puzzle.His upper torso was exposed as he had no clothes on. Laura struggled to keep her eyes on him as they kept wandering down his chest. It was firm and made her feel butterflies in her belly."Laura?" He called, his voice raspy from sleep, as he tried to take in the fact that she was the one on his bed."Yes, it's me; I came to drop your bag, and then you were, uhm," Laura said, not completing her words."Oh, um, Laura, so sorry, are you alright? Did I hurt you?" Jason asked, his eyes finally registering recognition. His concern was etched on his face as he stared into her eyes."No, you didn't, and I'm fine," Laura replied.As she answered, she saw his brows squeeze agai

    Tina turned to Dalia and asked, "Who is it?""He says his name is Shawn North," Dalia answered.Tina turned to look at Lily and asked, "Would you like to meet him?"Lily wondered what the reason behind his visit to her place out of the blue was, so she replied, "Let him in. Let's find out what he wants.""Okay," Dalia replied, and she walked back to the door."Did she agree to see me?" Shawn asked as soon as Dalia opened the door again.Dalia smiled as she replied, "She is in the living room; please come in."Shawn walked into the house, noticing the taste and precision with which the house was decorated.Tobias had always referred to Lily as a very meticulous person, but seeing the house only added evidence to the words for Shawn."This way, please," Dalia said as she started walking towards the living room, where everyone was gathered.When they got there, it was empty, and Dalia's face had confusion on it just before she saw Tina coming back down into the living room too."Hello, M

    Hello?" Tina said in response, waiting for the person on the other end to speak again."Uhm, I'm so sorry. I just picked up the phone to move it, and it picked up the call," the person replied, this time in a trembling voice.Laura had probably put her phone on a special setting, Lily thought."Okay, where is the owner of the phone?" Lily asked."Uhm, I was just here to clean the suite, and she stepped out to the other suite," the lady replied."Okay, get back to your work," Lily said, instructing Tina to end the call with a nod of her head."She is at Jason's suite; now we can all worry less," Lily said, adding, "But if they are ready to go, let my driver take them.""Okay, I'll inform Teressa now," Tina replied.Lily walked over to the window as Tina left the room. She looked down and watched Lisa and Liam play, their voices filling the air with laughter."What audacity!" Lily murmured as she remembered what Shawn had said about her having grandchildren.It was no secret that she ha

    "Oh my god!" Teressa exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hand."What just happened?" Jason asked, walking towards the door with a cup of coffee in hand. As he saw the scene, his mouth ipened in shock. Laura walked out of the room too, her eyes swollen with sleep as she asked, "What was that sound?" Laura asked, trying to rub her eyes.When she could see clearly, the first thing that pierced her mind was the sight of Lisa and Liam on the floor beside someone."Lisa? Liam?" Laura called as she finally focused on the body laying between them, adding, "Oh my god, Tim!" Teressa hurried into the room and quickly said, "It happened so quickly; I didn't know they would jump on him thinking it was you."Lisa and Liam had a scared look on their faces as they tapped on Tim's chest."Please wake up," Lisa said sadly, water gathering in her eyes."Mummy, I'm sorry," Liam said, looking up at his mother.Laura looked at Jason and said, "Do something, Jason," then turned to Lisa and Liam and sai

    Shawn and Tobias looked back instantly, and the shock on their faces was so appealing that it brought a smile to Lily's face. "Laura? What are you doing here?" Tobias asked, looking shocked. "You look like you've seen a ghost." Laura said as she walked over and sat in front of them. Before they could answer, they heard a knock at the door, and Laura said, "Oh, that must be him." "Aunt, I thought you said she left," Tobias said, looking at Lily. Lily remained silent and only responded with a shrug. Laura opened the door, and Jason walked into the office, a sight that only made Tobias more scared and Shawn visibly angry. "You were saying something about my family," Laura said, addressing Shawn. "What is going on here? Why does this feel like a trap? Are you suspecting us of something?" Shawn asked, standing up suddenly. "Nobody is suspecting you of anything; we are just asking you about your last statement," Lily said, breaking her silence. "You know what? I'm leaving. I only

    As soon as they were alone, Jason turned back to Laura and said, "Let's hear it."Laura shook her head and replied, "Jason, up until this morning, I didn't have the information I have now. I was actually trying my best not to be angry at you.""Why would you be angry at me? If for anything, I should be the one pissed, because you were not picking up my calls and you left without any notice from the event that day.""I know, but if you hear me out, then maybe you will understand my reasons," Laura said, holding up her hand."Okay, you have the floor," Jason said as he took his seat a few feet away from her."I came back to town to find my mother and to find out what happened to me seven years ago," Laura said.Jason was silent as he watched her speak, his expression neutral. Laura brushed her hair behind her neck and continued to explain her mother's relationship to Lily."Suffix it to say that I found my grandmother, but I was not able to find out what happened that one night that I c

    Grace walked into Jared's office, demanding to have an audience with him."I'm sorry, ma'am, but you can't go in now; he is not on sit," the receptionist said apologetically."I know he is in there; tell him that if he does not see me now, he won't like the next news he hears," Grace responded.Having no choice, the receptionist put a call through to Jared's office again and relayed the message.After a few minutes, she dropped the phone and said, "You can go in, ma'am.""I thought as much," Grace replied, and she walked straight to the elevator.It had been radio silence since her last confrontation with Jared, but now she was going to rain down all the anger she felt within on him."I told you not to come here, Grace," Jared said as soon as Grace walked into his office."I don't give a damn what you say any longer, Jared," Grace replied with scorn."What exactly do you want, Grace?" Jared asked."What do I want? Huh, that's rich coming from you." Grace replied, adding, "You know I h

    Lily was surprised to hear that, so she gripped her hand tightly and asked, "What else is there that I haven't said?"Laura shook her head and replied, "No, not you; it's from me.""Oh, what is it?" Lily asked.Laura pulled her hand from Lily's grip and brushed it through her hair as she sighed deeply."Actually, I came back to town because of two things. The first was because of the note you sent to me about my mother, and the second was because I wanted to find out what happened to me about seven years ago." Laura explained.Lily's face squeezed in confusion as she asked, "Something happened to you? What might it be?""Well, I don't know either; all I know is that I got pregnant after, and that was what resulted in my father sending me away from town," Laura replied."What?" Lily exclaimed in shock."Yes, you see, I was betrothed to Jared Tuner, but my stepsister set me up that night," Laura said, explaining what Grace had told her about the same night.There was more confusion on L

    "Jason?" Tim called, wondering what was wrong."Okay, Liam, thank you for calling me. Do you know where you stay?" Jason said this on the phone.Tim realized he was talking to Laura's son and shrugged, hoping he got the answer he was looking for."No, that's fine. How is Lisa?" Jason asked.Just like magic, the hard look on Jason's face cleared as he spoke with the children. After a few minutes, the call ended."So?" Tim asked."They are leaving in two days," Jason said."What two days?" Tim replied, surprised."Yes," Jason replied, his voice sounding dejected."Oh, oh," Tim muttered."What did Gift say?" Jason asked."Nothing, just like I told you she would," Tim replied, adding, "Don't the kids know where the house is?""They don't; I think Liam called me from the card I gave him sometimes back," Jason replied."Hmm, well, I think you have tried all that you can," Tim said encouragingly.I am really going to lose Laura, Jason thought as he sat there, staring into space.*************

    When Jason walked into the office that morning, everyone who saw him knew something was wrong."Jason, you don't look so good," Tim whispered behind him as they walked through the building lobby."You look like you did not get any sleep last night," Tim added as he noticed a few people staring at Jason."That is of less concern right now, Tim; I need you to get Gift here today," Jason replied as they boarded the elevator."Gift? You mean the same Gift Hatcher?" Tim asked."Yes, I need to ask her about Laura. She mentioned some time ago that they had been childhood friends," Jason replied.Tim shook his head, knowing that was not going to be a good idea, considering the outcome of the last meeting Gift had with Jason."I can basically feel you shaking your head from here," Jason muttered."Uhm, I just don't think Gift would be a good idea; I mean, after the last time, she would not be so keen to see you." Tim explained.Jason was at his wits end, and he was only trying to hold it all t

    Jason woke up that morning with a heavy concern in his heart. He had tossed and turned through the night.The night before, he had been stunned by Tim's statement, and for a moment, his heart had frozen."What did you just say?" He had asked."Humm, I just heard from Emily, who heard from Laura's live-in nanny that Laura is leaving town," Tim had replied carefully.Jason had sat at the back of the car, stunned by the news. He had imagined a lot of outcomes from her sudden departure from the hotel, but he had not imagined that she would leave town."When did you get this information?" Jason had asked."Uhm, just before you stepped out of your office," Tim had also replied catiously."Why isn't she telling me about leaving town? Why is she suddenly avoiding me?" Jason asked himself, feeling a sinking feeling in his belly.Now, at the dawn of a new day, Jason climbed out of bed, looking dazed as he murmured, "I never thought I would feel this way."He walked over to the balcony and stare

Teressa called again."I'm fine; I just felt a tiny pain in my chest," Laura said."Okay, let me get you water or something," Teressa said, hurring over to the mini-kitchen in the apartment.Laura's phone rang, and she saw Audrey's name on the screen."Hello, Adurey," Laura said, picking up the call."I think something must be really wrong," Audrey said in response."What?" Laura asked, her brows squeezed in confusion."You never miss a chance to work; that's why I'm wondering what's going on. How are you feeling now?" Audrey asked.Laura shook her head as she replied, "I'm fine, Audrey; I'm just not up for work yet.""Okay, no problem; I just wanted to check in on you," Audrey replied."Thank you," Laura replied, adding, "If there is anything that requires my urgent attention, please let me know.""Don't worry, I will," Audrey replied before ending the call.Laura pulled the phone from her ears and rubbe

I called to speak with her," Jason replied.Lily looked back, and to her dismay, Laura was gone. She looked from Audrey to Tina, both of whom had unreadable expressions on their faces."Humm, she is not feeling too well and has taken the day off," Lily replied, adding, "If there is anything you want us to help you with, I'm sure Audrey would take care of it.""Oh, yes, of course," Jason replied, the line silent for a few seconds before he added, "Are you aware she moved out of the hotel?"Lily coughed slightly as she replied, "Uhm, yes, I am.""Uhm, so do you know where she moved to? Well, not that I am particularly interested; I'm just, you know, trying to be a good neighbor; I believe we were neighbors," Jason replied, forcing himself to stop after realizing how he must sound."Hmm," Lily said, her brows
