Can you comment?” one reporter asked. “Why did you lie to us?” another demanded. I stood there, overwhelmed by the sudden barrage of questions. I didn't know what to say, didn't know how to respond.

But then, she looked up and saw me standing there, and her face was a mask of surprise. “I wasn't expecting you,” she said, her voice a little breathless. “Yeah, I came early this morning,” I said, my voice a little shaky. “Where were you?” I asked, trying to sound casual. “Oh, I was just out for a morning jog,” she said, smiling. “I'm surprised you're here this early.”The silence that followed hung heavy in the air.“It seems like you're dressed for something,” she said, her eyes searching mine. “Uhhh,” I said, stumbling over my words. I didn't know what to say, didn't know how to explain where I was going. I knew that she would ask questions, and I didn't know if I was ready to answer them.

The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife Would she agree to move out?
Ivery's POV. As I made my way home, I prayed that my mother would agree to come with me. I prayed that she would understand my need to leave, to start over somewhere new. My mother could be headstrong, I knew that. She could be stubborn, and I knew that it might be hard to convince her to come with me. I knew that she might argue with me, might try to talk me out of it. But I also knew that she loved me and that she would do anything for me. I hoped that she would understand, that she would see the need for us to leave. But even if she didn't, I knew that I had to try. I finally made it to my mother's house, and I stood on the doorstep, taking a deep breath. I closed my eyes and then knocked on the door, my heart pounding in my chest. I waited, the seconds feeling like hours. Then, I heard footsteps, and the door opened. My mother stood before me, her eyes wide with surprise. “I was not expecting you to be back this early ?” she asked, her voice full of concern.“What I went to do

That's responsible of you.” She paused, her eyes soft and understanding. “I just want to make sure that you're not making this decision in haste. Are you certain this is what you want to do?” She asked me as she looked me in the eyes. “Yes Mom, I want to do this,” I said smiling. “It's fine, I will move with you.” Mom said as she hugged me. “Everything will be fine,” she whispered to me. My mother went inside to start packing, while I opened my laptop and began to book our plane tickets.

The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife You go first
Ivery’s POV.Franco's behavior had been puzzling me for a while. He seemed to be acting differently, but I couldn't tell if I was just imagining things or if there was something actually going on.

But his words did nothing to ease my anxiety. I felt overwhelmed and confused.“How’s this possible?” I asked confused.“ Because you are the father of the child,” he said.I let out a sarcastic laugh. “How can I be the father of the child?” I asked incredulously. “Does this doctor understand how biology works?” My voice was tinged with anger and disbelief. It was impossible, I was sure of it. But the doctor looked at me calmly, and said, “I understand your skepticism, but there is no doubt that you are the father of this child. Your DNA matches perfectly.” I felt my world spinning, my mind reeling. How could this be?“Ivery told me that she wasn't the mother of the kids,” I said, my
