Flora's eyes were filled with a mix of frustration and confusion as she confronted David. "David, what happened? My uncle called, saying the proposal he submitted to your company wasn't for us. Is something wrong?" She had welcomed him warmly, taken her suitcase to the room, and set the table for both of them.

David, having just finished eating, wiped his mouth with a napkin. He sighed, understanding the gravity of Flora's concerns. "Did you ask your uncle if he received another email?" he inquired while doing a final cleaning of his hands.

Flora replied hesitantly, as if stumbling over her words, "Yes, but it's not clear to me. He mentioned being summoned to an oral defense or interview."

"Okay, then wait until tomorrow," David suggested. Flora, seated in front of him, clenched her fist but tried to maintain a calm facade.

"Must our company go through the same process as others? You know we're still the best, and you can't possibly want us to..." Flora continued, but David interje

    Flora's fingers traced a delicate path, seeking connection in the intimacy of the moment, only to be abruptly halted as David intercepted her advance. "Flora, what are you trying to do?" David's question hung heavy in the air as he gently removed her hand from his body. "I'm trying to please my man," Flora declared with unwavering confidence. "And you should know, I don't want this between us. The first pregnancy was a mistake that shouldn't have happened, and I sense you want another error to replay," David's words draped the room, his eyes betraying simmering anger. "David, are you saying you don't want any intimacy between us?" Flora's chest rose and fell, her attempt at managing her anger evident. "Flora, you know me. The last thing I wanted was for you to get pregnant before we got married," David explained, prompting a subtle smile from Flora. "Fine, so you don't care if your father rejects me again. I guess you don't care about marrying me anymore," Flora asserted, attempt

    "Who's that?" Flora asked, her curiosity tinged with a spark of concern. She probed David, sensing a sudden shift in his mood. He resembled a thief caught red-handed, grappling with the uncertainty of facing the repercussions of his concealed secrets.David, wearing an expression of fear and paranoia, replied with a shaky, "Nothing," before hastily retreating to the wardrobe, desperately searching for something to wear."David, we're partners. We shouldn't keep secrets. What's going on? You look so paranoid," Flora pleaded, closing the emotional distance between them. The impulse to comfort him tugged at her, but she restrained herself, fearing it might only intensify David's inner turmoil.Despite her earnest plea, David remained silent, engrossed in changing his clothes. His gaze lingered on Flora, a blend of indifference and veiled frustration. He wasn't seething with anger, but he resented Flora for exploiting the vulnerability he harbored for her. Opting for the precarious path,

    The journey to the police station passed in what felt like the blink of an eye, leaving David yearning for more time. He wished the minutes would stretch, delaying the moment of arrival that carried an air of foreboding. Unease settled within him as he contemplated the changes in Rowan, feeling as if the person he married had slipped away. Understanding Rowan resembled untangling a complex knot, and amidst the uncertainty, David couldn't shake the belief that Flora played a part in the transformation, safeguarding their relationship. In the midst of these disconcerting thoughts, Flora's sudden exclamation shattered the silence in the car. "Did you see that?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Drawing David from his introspection, he leaned in, eager to discern the source of her enthusiasm. "I didn't see anyone," he confessed, his gaze scanning both sides in vain. Disappointment creased Flora's face as she let out a deflated "Ooooh," hoping David had caught sight of whatev

    David's eyes shot wide open at Rowan's words. He thought he was ready to face the possibility that she no longer cared for him, but the emptiness in her expression and the coldness in her demand for police involvement left him utterly bewildered. He found himself lost in the depths of her face, oblivious to the persistent pleas of the police around them. "David, are you okay?" Flora's voice reached out to him, her touch attempting to anchor him back to reality. His gaze, however, remained locked onto Rowan, deaf to Flora's concerned inquiry. "Yeah, I'm okay," David finally responded, breaking free from the trance. Sliding off the chair, he turned to the DPO with determination. "Just do what she said," he declared, casting a lingering look at Rowan before striding away. Flora followed closely, trying to keep up with David's unexpectedly brisk pace. Walking behind him, Flora paused in front of Rowan, a subtle smile playing on her lips. Only then did she sprint to catch up with David,

    "I can't wait to see you again, Uncle James. Thanks for today," Naomi said with a bright smile. James nodded, relieved to have a break from her company. Naomi stepped inside, her heart light with happiness, a feeling she had been yearning for. In the sitting room, she found Kate leisurely sipping juice. "Enjoy your little date with James? Maybe you'll finally find someone who can handle your 'madness'," Kate sneered, a mocking tone in her voice. Matteo's attempts to find suitors for his daughter had all ended in rejection. "'Madness'? Am I not better than you, cozying up to a man old enough to be your father? Your madness surpasses mine," Naomi retorted, catching Kate off guard. Her brother had always shielded her from such comments. "Lost for words, are we? Consider this a warning. Today marks the end of you hurting my brother. Don't mistake my silence for ignorance," Naomi declared sternly before walking away, leaving Kate fuming with her insults falling on deaf ears. "Hey, welc

    For a second, time stood still. Rowan couldn't believe what she had just heard.She heard a woman's moans from James' phone. After a while, she called Rolland since James couldn't pick her up. Rowan hissed after the call. Rolland quickly hung up, saying he was busy with his girlfriend.Why do all the men in my life have women problems?Not just David, who's a fool for love, but even Rolland.Rowan couldn't understand why an intelligent person like David would risk going to jail for a woman.She kept pondering this until a thought interrupted her.David must've known that the odds of winning against him were lower than against Flora; those judges would be scared to send the president of Oregon Groups of Companies to jail.Realizing this fueled anger through Rowan's veins. She clenched her fists angrily, knowing that David did this on purpose. She started raining insulting words against him. Rowan was frustrated, saying aloud, not bothered if anyone heard her.A gasp escaped Rowan's mou

    Flora simmered with dissatisfaction after David's stern warning to keep the issue hushed from his parents. An idea dawned on her – a clever ploy to turn the elders in David's family against Rowan. The unsettling part was figuring out how to spill the beans without entangling herself in the mess. Her mind swirled with these thoughts until the memory of Richard's peculiar fondness for his boss's ex-wife surfaced. "Picture this: having to pick between saving your boss and his ex," Flora tantalizingly proposed as she dialed Richard's number. "Hello, Miss Flora," came Richard's unpleasant tone, a familiar discomfort in his voice. Yet, Flora reveled in it, unfazed by his unease. "Are you with your boss?" she inquired, her authoritative tone unsettling Richard. "No, ma'am. What can I do for you?" Richard hurriedly responded, an urgency to wrap up the conversation evident. "I need to share something crucial with you. I offended Rowan, and David wants to take the blame. I tried to stop h

As the device pressed against his ear, the urgency in Richard's voice filled the air, causing David to forget the audio entirely."Please, sir, come to Heritage restaurant. Your mother is attacking Miss Rowan there," Richard's words struck like a lightning bolt, propelling David to his feet.Perplexed, he questioned, "Why would she attack Rowan?"

    Instantly, the air around David crackled with tension. He swiftly shed his suit, the fabric feeling heavy in his trembling as he handed it over to Richard, who felt like crying at the back of his boss—this was all his boss had been working for in the past few months: to have Miss Rowan to himself finally, without fear of Flora hurting her again. Just then, James' phone buzzed, interrupting the silence that engulfed the atmosphere. Seeing the caller, James picked up at once. "Hello, babe," James said into the phone, drawing curious glances from David and Richard. To them, only Rowan would receive such a nickname. Seeing their suspicious gazes, he switched the phone to loudspeaker. "Hi, Naomi, you can speak now," James invited. "Miss Rowan has been rushed to the hospital. She's unable to fly; she started having contractions before she entered the plane," Naomi informed them. Before James could reply, David snatched the phone from his hands.

    The room was alive with happiness as Flora jubilated, knowing that in a few hours, every TV station and blogger would be buzzing about her wedding to David Thompson, the president of the Oregon group of companies."As the heiress of Seraphims Holding, I only deserve the best," Flora declared from where she lay on the bed, with Andrew planting kisses on her neck and along her jawline."You know I will compensate you handsomely. I panicked when I found out David had regained his memory but didn't want me anymore. I thought everything was over, after years of patiently waiting," Flora confessed, a smile playing on her lips."I've told you that you don't have any problems. Since you've opened up to me about your true feelings and that it's me you love, and only his money you desire, since you've promised that it's my child you'll carry in his house, then I don't have any issues. The wedding is set to proceed, and in a few hours, you'll be Mrs. Thompson officially, but inwardly, you'll be M

    It had been a few days, and tension hung thick in the air as Steve returned to James's house to deliver his response. The silence that filled the room was deafening, each breath heavy with anticipation. Jessica, though she thought she was prepared for any outcome, couldn't help but rub her hands together nervously. Ryan, sensing the tension, rested his head on her lap, his instincts picking up on the palpable anxiety swirling around them. "So, brother, have you finally made your decision?" James asked, his tone harsh yet tinged with regret. In the past few days, he had come to realize that his emotions had clouded his judgment. He understood that everything Steve had done was out of love for him — Steve didn't want him to lose the love of his life, just as James had lost his. It was this realization that had prompted James to allow Steve to make his own decision, even if it meant James would have to bear the pain of parting with his brother, if only for a while. "Yes, kid brother,"

    What?" David's father asked, surprised by his son's allegations. "Dad, answer me. Are you involved with her too?" David demanded. "No, I'm not. And I'm disappointed that you would think so little of your father," David's father said. "I don't care, Dad. If she knows something about you significant enough to trade for my safety, then it must be substantial, and I need to know about it today," David said defiantly "Sit down, and I will tell you everything," David's father said. Reluctantly, David slumped into the chair, his anger palpable, emanating from him like a dark cloud. "Firstly, I discovered the kind of person Flora was after you started seeing her. Knowing how much you love her compelled me to dig deeper. I didn't want you to end up with the wrong woman. After finding out that she was involved with different men, I decided to confront her myself instead of letting you do it. During our conversation, she confessed that her uncle had forced her into those situations and that

    "What do you mean, David? It was the marriage certificate we both signed, isn't that what we both wanted back then? Just because you didn't have the memory doesn't change the fact that your mother is aware of it, and a mother can't lie," Flora's voice came over the phone, her tone laced with frustration and desperation. She wasn't even attempting to come to David's house, realizing she had nothing left to lose."Flora, even if it is true, I don't want this marriage anymore. We have to annul the certificate," David stated firmly, using a word he never wanted to utter."What? David, are you trying to use me and then discard me? We've been dating for almost seven years. Now you don't want me anymore, and you didn't consider the repercussions it will have on my family and me, on the company, on everyone who believed we would end up together... I won't force you, David, but think about the consequences. We are legally married starting next week. If we don't announce it publicly, I don't kn

    Naomi could only hum softly as she listened to Rowan's teasing remarks. Bending down, she reached for the coffee cups placed in front of them, an order she had made for both of them. Savoring the warmth, she took a delicate sip before carefully placing the cup back on the table.Inwardly, Naomi grasped the subtle undertones of Rowan's words. Since meeting James, she felt a shift within herself, a desire to embody qualities that might earn his admiration. But could she confide in Rowan that the catalyst for her change was the very man who harbored feelings for her?"Miss Rowan, I can't say there's any love involved. Let's just say someone's critique nudged me towards self-improvement," Naomi replied, her voice tinged with uncertainty. Rowan's gentle smile lingered, leaving Naomi to ponder if her response had hit the mark."You know, being challenged by someone and feeling compelled to better oneself because of them, well, it's akin to love. You might not realize it now, but soon enough

    Before James exited the hospital, he had arranged to meet Naomi, only to hear the distressing news that she was banned from leaving the house. Naomi, a pivotal figure in her father's company, had inadvertently stirred up trouble by being seen at clubs, inviting scrutiny from shareholders and adding pressure to her father's plate. She was slated to marry into another wealthy family to enhance the company's stature. James, though conflicted, found himself driving toward Naomi's house despite his vow to stay away and avoid complicating matters for both families. The prospect of being desired by Naomi's father for his daughter weighed heavily on him, even as he questioned his own intentions. Arriving at the grand mansion, James couldn't help but admire the exquisite taste of Naomi's father. The meticulously landscaped gardens, the elegant architecture both inside and out, and the grandeur of the estate left James in awe, despite his familiarity with opulent surroundings. "It seems I'll
