"Good morning, sir," his secretary greeted him as he walked into the office.“Morning" he replied and kept walking, not even breaking his stride. "Sir, after you were absent for days, you have a lot on your table to attend to and a few meetings," his secretary called out after him.James stopped in his tracks, turned around, and said, "Not now, please. Reschedule everything. I have a lot going on with me." He turned back around and continued walking to his office, his mind preoccupied with his thoughts.As he walked into his office, he was greeted by the sight of his dad sitting patiently in one of the chairs in front of his desk. He looked up at him, "You know, I've been wondering if putting my company in your care was a great idea." James felt a pang of guilt and anxiety as he walked over to his desk and sat down. "Good morning, Dad," he said, trying to sound cheerful. His dad looked at him expectantly, waiting for an answer to his question."That doesn't answer my question," his

It was Steve! "Yo, man, what's going on? What's with the urgency?" he asked, just after he saw his Dad leave.James looked up at him, feeling a sense of relief that his friend was there to talk to."Besides, why haven't you been coming to work like before, what's going on?" Steve asked, his brow furrowed with concern. James sighed, feeling a sense of frustration.

"Woo, calm down, man, what's going on?" he asked, his voice soothing. "I know whenever you sound this way, something is definitely up between you and your wife," he added, his eyes narrowing.

As he arrived at her apartment, his heart began to beat with different thoughts running through it. Is she going to give him a listening ear? he thought to himself. He had been thinking about this moment for a while now, and he was determined to make it count. He took a deep breath, steadied himself, and pressed the doorbell. He waited for an answer, his heart pounding in his chest.The door opened, and Mia came out to check who was at the door. She looked at him with a mixture of surprise and annoyance.

"Oh my God! Dad, yes we are, you startled us," James answered, as he stuttered.He tried to play it cool, but it was clear that he was nervous. His wife, on the other hand, seemed to be seething with anger and frustration. She had been forced to come to this dinner party, and she was not happy about it.As they both stared at each other, faking a smile, they hopped down and hugged him.

Mr. Reed stood in his room, pacing around, waiting for James to come in. He was furious and confused, and he didn't know what to make of the situation.As James entered, "What is she talking about, son? Can someone explain to me?" He looked taken aback, and he tried to deny it. "Dad, I have no idea," he said, shaking his head.Mr. Reed's expression turned incredulous. "What do you mean you have no idea?" he asked, his voice rising. "I'm sure we all heard her mention her daughter being pregnant for you. When did all of these happen without me knowing?" James looked down, avoiding his father's gaze. "It's not what you think, Dad," he said, trying to explain.But Mr. Reed was having none of it. "Now it's not what I think? What do you think I think, Mr. Man? Do you realize the embarrassment you've caused me right in front of people out there?" he said, his voice filled with anger.

“That does not answer my question: what's going on between you two, and what marriage contract are you both talking about?” Mr. Reed asked as he entered the room.

Bella took a deep breath and began to explain. "I'm sorry sir, the marriage was all a lie," she said, her voice shaking. "It was a contract, an arrangement between me and James. He wanted someone so he could sign a deal off, while I, on the other hand, needed money to clear off my debt and my sister's hospital bill." Mr. Reed's eyes widened in shock, and he looked at James, then back at Bella."You both gotta be kidding me. What do you mean?" Mr. Reed asked, his voice filled with confusion.

But Emily quickly interrupted her mother, saying she should be the one apologizing, not her.“Mum, you shouldn't be apologizing to me," she said. "I'm the one who should be apologizing to you. I'm the one who put you through all of this, and now I'm pregnant with the same man."Mrs. Valerie's expression turned serious, but she quickly assured her daughter that everything would be fine.

How about his parents, how did we even get separated? Who did he grow up with that he became so rich? I need to ask him these questions." She couldn't shake off the feeling of confusion and curiosity that had been building up inside her since Steve's revelation. She had so many questions, and she didn't know where to start.

Emily was sitting on her bed, staring at her phone in frustration. Phil began disturbing her phone with calls, and she decided to pick up. “What is it? For God's sake, what do you want from me Phil?" she asked, her voice firm and annoyed. "I have told you countless times to stop calling me, we've got no business together."

We both know I am the father of the child you're carrying, so allow me to take my responsibilities."Her anger and frustration boiled over at his words. "What stupid responsibilities?" she spat. "I have told you we've got no business together and no child together whatsoever. Just leave me alone, Phil." His tone turned slightly aggressive, and Emily could sense the desperation in his voice. "Emily, don't be like this. I know we had a thing, and I know I'm the father of your child. I want to be involved in your lives, and I want to take care of you both."Emi

James didn't want to hear it. He didn't want to accept that his dad might not make it. He held his hand, talking to him, trying to keep him awake. "Dad, stay with me," he said, his voice shaking. "Please, don't leave me. I need you." Dr. Smith held his shoulder, his eyes filled with a deep sense of concern. "I think you should get your wife here, or it's too late," he said, his voice low and urgent. "It's possible he wants to say something important."

He tried calling her again, but it went straight to voicemail.He wasn't sure where to go, or what to do. He knew that he had to find his wife, but he had no idea where she was. He thought about going to the hospital where Miranda was; he was certain she must have been discharged by now and he doubted she would be there. He knew that the only place to go to was her previous apartme

Both best friends decided to go drinking to clear their heads, sitting at the bar, drinking and chatting.James was nursing a whiskey on the rocks, while Steve was sipping on a beer. The bartender, a friendly woman with a warm smile, was polishing a glass and listening in on their conversation. James was staring into his drink, his eyes lost in thought. Steve, noticing his friend's distant expression, decided to speak up."Yo man, I think it's high time you reduce your intake of alcohol," he advised, his voice laced with concern. "It's getting too much. You're drinking every night, and it's starting to affect your daily life, you rarely come to work. I think you should give this girl a break not after everything that has happened." He looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly as he gazed at Steve. "Bro, just let me be," he said, his voice low and even. "I'll be fine. I just want to drink to clear my head off, and that's all; without her, I can't think straight; she isn't responding to m
