Claire awoke to her eyes unable to see anything. She recalled how a car had pulled up next to them and then someone attacked her. Her heart jumped to her throat and panic crept into her. ‘Where am I? Where is my daughter?’“She’s awake,” a strange voice said. “Let the boss know.”‘The boss?’ Claire mused, her heart pounding violently against her chest. ‘Have I been kidnapped?’ The thought that came to her was that these thugs might have done something to her daughter. “Where’s my daughter?” She asked, her voice hoarse. She felt one of the men approaching and then the black bag that covered her face was removed. Looking around, Claire’s heart sank. Her daughter wasn’t with her. Claire was in a basement that looked like it had been carefully prepared for someone. A bed was in one corner with a TV on the opposite end, hanging on the wall. There was even a door that looked like it led to the bathroom. Despite how clean the basement was, fear crept into Claire. She glared at the str

Claire gulped. Her heart raced as she asked, "How did we end up matching on the dating app?" She had an inkling of what had happened but she brushed those thoughts away. She didn't want to believe that she was such a bad judge of character. "Did you plan everything?" "Of course, I did. I grew up being afraid of that bastard showing up and taking everything. Do you think I would have sat and waited for him to show up without doing anything?" Wesley snapped. The fact that he had a brother who was the rightful heir to the Crawford fortune was a weapon his mother always used to control him and shape him into the man she wanted him to be. After everything he had done, Wesley couldn't accept that he would end up with nothing.He recalled how he ended up making such a desperate move. ~FLASHBACK~The day Wesley visited Jessica, they made a plan to come in between Oliver and Claire. It was a foolproof plan. They planned to hire a woman who would seduce Oliver and make Claire think he was

Oliver Ford hadn't slept a wink in the last two days. Refusing to sit still and wait for news, he decided to join the team looking for Claire. In the last hours that she was missing, he had turned the City upside down looking for her. He had men looking in every corner of the city and some were looking in the nearby cities. However, footage from the tollgates and information from the airport didn't have any information about Claire Hamilton leaving the city. This meant she was still in Brentwood City. But where? They had looked everywhere and interrogating Jessica seemed futile since the latter refused to say anything.Oliver went to the extent of going to every house of someone who knew Claire to search for her but he found nothing. "Dante, have your men found anything?" Oliver desperately asked Dante on the phone. He was the family friend who helped him find Thalia when she was kidnapped. Unfortunately, this time, not even the Mafia could find any lead about Claire's disappearan

“According to the DNA results, the body doesn’t belong to Claire,” Jake announced and Quinn heaved a sigh of relief. “Oh my god!” She remarked and unwittingly threw her arms around his neck, hugging him. “I was so worried.” Jake didn’t expect the sudden hug so his arms hang in there. He didn’t know whether to wrap them around Quinn or to just let her do her thing. However, he inwardly admitted that the hug felt good. Quinn’s body was soft and warm against his. She smelled good too. Like lilies. Jake fought the urge to bury his face in the crook of Quinn’s neck and take a long whiff. He knew she probably didn’t know what she was doing so he just patted her back gently, saying, “It’s such a relief. Now we just have to hope we find her soon.” Quinn pulled away, tears brimming her eyes. She pouted before the dam broke and big fat tears rolled down her cheeks. Jake panicked. His eyes slightly widened as he asked, “Hey, what’s wrong?” Quinn shook her head, wiping her tears. She rem

A month later…“Bro, we are almost at the base. We need to be careful, they might know we are coming,” Dante whispered to Oliver as they stealthily made their way to an abandoned building. “The more reason we should hurry. They might sneak the victims out before we get there,” Oliver said, his jaws clenching. He had a pistol in his hands while he wore a bulletproof vest just like the rest of the team. For the last four weeks, Oliver took a break from work and dedicated his time to searching for Claire. Since they couldn’t find her anywhere, they assumed she had been kidnapped by human traffickers. That was the only logical explanation for her disappearance. So, Oliver and Dante raided every hidden base of the traffickers they had found in the city. Nevertheless, each base that they raided didn’t have any signs of Claire. Although they had managed to rescue other women and children, Oliver was sad that he had yet to find his wife. They got closer to the building and Dante gave a

“I’ll find you a nurse,” Wesley said, his eyes widening as he stared at the blood seeping through Claire’s clothes. “I’m a-afraid I’ll be d-dead by then, W-Wesley… I know you’re s-scared of being caught... but... this might be your turning point. The Wesley... I know i-is a good man. I need to go to the hospital,” Claire remarked with difficulty, her face covered in sweat. 'A good man? I've never been good in my life,' Wesley thought and scoffed. 'There's no turning point for me.'“I’m sure you’re just on your period,” Wesley replied and left the basement, crushing Claire's hope of leaving that place. Claire sighed, biting her lower lip as though it would ease the pain in her belly. Her heart raced when she thought about why she could be in so much pain and bleeding at the same time. ‘Could I be…? No… I hope not,’ she mused knowing what it meant to bleed if her assumptions were correct. Thirty minutes later, Wesley returned with a nurse. He pointed a gun at the scared woman and or

Hours earlier...One of the investigators that Oliver had placed to watch and follow Wesley Crawford reported that he was acting suspiciously. "What is he up to?" Oliver asked with narrowed eyes. Even though he didn't find anything in Wesley's house, Oliver didn't stop suspecting him. Wesley was one of the people who would have a motive to kidnap Claire. Perhaps he was working with Jessica's accomplice or maybe he was the accomplice. Oliver had no evidence to bring Welsey in for questioning so all he could do was keep an eye on his every move. "He keeps getting painkillers from different pharmacies. I find that behavior odd, sir," Steve reported.Oliver's eyes squinted thoughtfully. He instructed, "Keep following him. If anything suspicious comes up, call me.""Noted, sir," Steve replied. Oliver went home briefly to see his daughter. After having supper because he needed the strength to continue searching for Claire, he received a call from Steve again. "This Wesley guy just boug

The women gasped."Bad news?" Roxanne asked, her heart pounding rapidly. Henry Ford furrowed his eyebrows. He gulped and quizzed the doctor. "What do you mean by bad news?" Doctor Philip glanced at the worried faces. He sighed and replied, "Mr Ford's surgery was successful but he's in a coma. We are not sure if he will wake up or not. It's a fifty-fifty chance."Henry Ford and Roxanne shared a worried look, pain evident in their eyes. In short, their son's life was still in danger and they had no way of knowing if he would survive. "And Claire?" Katherine and Quinn asked at the same time. "Well... she shouldn't have gotten pregnant if she knew she had fibroids. Now she's got a high risk of losing the pregnancy-""She's pregnant?!"They all asked in unison before sharing worried looks as they thought the same thing. How was Claire going to cope with this high-risk pregnancy knowing her husband was in a coma?"Doctor, I too have fibroids but I usually take medication to reduce them a

Years came and went... After a warm shower, Oliver stood behind his wife to help her wear the necklace that was engraved with their children's names. "So, you know what today is?" He asked as he placed the necklace around her neck. "How could I forget?" Claire arched an eyebrow. "You've been talking about it for months.""Yes... because I've been preparing a vacation for us for when this day comes. I can't believe it's been eight years already," Oliver remarked. When he was done putting the necklace around Claire's neck, he placed a soft kiss in the crook of her neck before saying, "You've made me the happiest man on earth, Angel."Claire sighed before leaning back into Oliver. She remarked, "Time flies."Everything was going well for everyone. Oliver Ford had taken over as chairman of the Ford Corporation after his father, Henry Ford, retired. With Oliver's leadership, the company was taken to greater heights and it expanded to more foreign countries. As for his marriage with Cl

"Uncle Jake. Remember how you owe me?" Thalia said with her arms crossed over her chest. "I'm here to collect."Oliver, Jake and Liam were left to babysit the kids while their women went out to relax. The men chose to let the kids play in the playroom while they caught up on a few soccer games that they had missed during the week. However, Thalia saw this as an opportunity to collect her debt from one Jake Norton. He was seated in the living area, invested in a soccer game when she confronted him. Jake's eyes widened. He didn't expect the little one to interrupt him when the game was just getting good. His favorite team were leading and he wanted to see how it would end. He chuckled and replied, "You want to collect now? Let's wait until the game is over, ok?""Are you trying to run away from paying your debt, Uncle Jake? A real man sticks to his words," Thalia remarked in her adorable voice. Jake sighed. He said, "Ok, you win, sweetheart. So, tell me. What do you want me to do f

A few weeks later..."I can't believe you guys are having a double wedding! I'm so freaking jealous! I want to get married again so that we have a triple wedding!" Claire exclaimed after Quinn and Aria were done with their makeup."Oh my... you two look so gorgeous. I love the designer wedding dresses," Claire remarked with a smile plastered on her face. "It was more convenient since we were both getting married this year. Besides, Jake and Liam are ecstatic about getting married on the same day," Quinn replied, smiling. They had come to that decision during Thalia's birthday party. Oliver suggested it and the rest thought it was a good idea. "I'm more surprised that Aria is getting married. She's just a year older than me. We promised to get married at thirty," Evelyn remarked. She sighed and looked at her friend in awe. "You make such a beautiful bride, Ari. Congratulations."Aria smiled, looking at herself in the mirror. She couldn't recognise herself. With her hair pulled up int

Liam entered Aria’s apartment for the first time. He noted how cosy and homely it felt. There were blue couches in the living room and grey curtains on the windows. Liam’s eyes fell on the portrait of a little boy hanging on the wall. His heart raced as he looked at the boy who had dark brown curly hair with fair skin and hazel eyes. ‘Is that my son?’ He thought in his mind. The boy took after Aria but he had his eyes. Liam's heart felt warm. He glanced at Aria and eagerly asked, "Where's Jayce? Where's my son?""He should be in the kitchen with his nanny. Let me get him," Aria responded, her stomach a bundle of nerves. She still couldn't believe what was happening. It all felt surreal. Just the previous day, she didn't know who Jayce's father was, but now, not only did she find out who it was, but he also proposed to her. Who knew she would end up with the stranger she had a one-night stand with?Her heart was filled with warmth and sweetness. Aria looked for her son and sure e

Sophia Hill was over the moon at the thought of her long-time dream finally coming true. When she left the special forces and joined Liam’s company as part of his security team, she developed a crush on him.She did all she could to get noticed by him and when Liam noticed how good she was, he promoted her to be his personal bodyguard. However, that was just it. Liam never made a move on her or spared her a glance. Sophia thought since he was a player, it wouldn’t be hard for him to fall for her. However, nothing of that sort happened. Liam kept her as a bodyguard and never saw her as anything more. A chance came for Sophia to make Liam hers. He accidentally got drugged at a party and Sophia was ecstatic about such a great opportunity. To her shock, she found him making love to another woman in the room she had booked for him. Fierce jealousy rushed through Sophia and she wanted nothing but to separate the two but it was too late. All she could do was wait until Liam was done. She

Liam’s heart was beating like a drum within the walls of his chest. He took in a deep breath as he held the envelope. His friends stood beside him, waiting to read the results with him. Oliver patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t worry… even if you don’t turn out to be the father, you still love Aria and you will be with her.”“That’s right. Look at me and Lucian. We may not be related by blood but he’s my son and I love him. I’m sure Aria’s son will love you regardless.” Liam let out a breath. He glanced at his friends and they nodded at him in encouragement. Ignoring his pounding heart, he opened the envelope and took out the document with trembling hands. “The results are usually at the bottom of the page,” Jake remarked. “Don’t waste your time reading the statistics.”Liam’s eyes went to the bottom of the page and he read the results in his heart. A smile crossed his lips before it turned into a grin. “The child is mine! Aria’s son is mine! Haha! I have a son!” Liam exclaimed,

“What?” Jake’s eyes were almost popping out of their sockets. “Is it the same Aria we all know? Wait, she’s back?”Liam almost laughed at his friends' reaction. He knew they would be shocked. He and Aria had a huge age gap but surprisingly, they got along well. No one would know they were nine years apart in age if they saw them together. This was why Liam was convinced she was the one. He wanted someone he could relate well with as a wife. Forever is a long time to be with someone you can't stand. He nodded and replied, “Yes, it’s her. She’s working at my company-”“Liam… she’s like a sister to me. Are you really in love with her or you’re taking advantage of her?” Oliver questioned, his eyes narrowed down at his friend. “I wouldn’t propose to her if I didn’t love her-”“You what? Are you crazy? Do you think Uncle Adrian will agree? He knows you’re a player,” Oliver said. “You could have started by winning him over first.” “Well, I’ll do that but first, there’s something I need he

Liam's hand trembled when he held the familiar bracelet in his hands. What did this mean? Why was this bracelet with Aria?He took in a sharp breath, his heart clenching at the memory that flashed through his mind as he examined the bracelet. It was definitely this bracelet. He may not remember anything from that night but he remembered how brutal he was. The drug had taken full effect and he lost control. It was like a beast within him was unleashed and he devoured the woman who had walked into his room without mercy.This was why he felt guilty when he found out it was Sophia. He was so rough and probably hurt her during the session. This was why he kept her around to compensate her. However, the bracelet in his hand brought back part of his long-lost memory. The woman beneath him was struggling when he became so rough he had to grab her neck to pound into her like a crazed beast. He recalled how she held his wrist and the bracelet in his hand was on her wrist. The bracelet was m

"Why can't you take me seriously, cupcake? I really want to marry you," Liam said after Aria tried to brush off his words as bluff. Who didn't know that Liam never wanted to get married? He had been announcing it for years since she knew him. She chuckled and uttered, "You don't need to lie, Liam. I know you." Liam furrowed his eyebrows. He remarked, "There you go again using my reputation to judge me. I want to marry you, Aria. You're the right one for me... I can feel it in my bones."“B-But you haven’t even met my son yet,” Aria mumbled when she realised he wasn't joking. “I’ll meet him before we have our wedding,” Liam replied. Aria’s eyes widened into saucers. She asked, “We will have a wedding?”“Of course! Isn’t that how people get married?” Liam arched an eyebrow. “I thought you wanted a contract marriage. Like you need a wife and I’m available-”“It’s not a contract. I want to marry you for life,” Liam proclaimed. “Till death do us part.”Aria bit her lower lip as she th
