Leila stood there frozen as she stared at the girl who claimed to be her sister.

Ayla Parker.

Such a beautiful and charming name. One can already infer that it was carefully chosen considering that it starts with the letter A just like her father, Allen.

From the way that she smiles and the way that she presents herself, anyone can tell that she’s a confident child who was showered with love. It was something that she never received from her father.

‘Why…’

‘She’s my age…’

Nothing came out of her mouth. No matter how much she wonders about her father’s affair, it’s undeniable that the girl in front of her is her half-sister.

“Are you not going to let us inside our mansion, sister?”

Her brazen and shameless words shocked Leila.

And even Julius who was just silently watching the scene unfold. He cannot fathom that there would be an illegitimate child who would be so brave to ask the legitimate daughter to let her enter the legal family’s house.

Ayla’s actions greatly confused the t

    Leila stared at the wall while only wearing an oversized shirt as a top. She sat up on her bed, extremely tired to even put her underwear on. She contemplated the action that she had just done. It was extremely disgraceful. Especially after doing it in their house. She glanced at Julius who was cozily sleeping in her bed. His naked back frustrated her. This nerdy and strict guy claimed her with his sweet and reassuring words. While her mother is trying her best to save their last dignity, she is here busy doing a pleasurable deed with Julius. She was ashamed of herself. She doesn't know how to face her mother. She extremely regretted giving in to Julius. ‘But what else can I do? I already did it…’‘Rui said that if ever I permit Julius, he would ask for more.’‘So, how can I refuse him next time?’‘I can't. I don't think I can get out of this situation…’‘But it’s okay… He’s going to be my husband so it’s fine if I give in to him.’ Deep in thought, she was surprised to feel his

    “Laura!! Watch your words!”Allen shouted at the top of his lungs. His mistress, Andrea, held his arms nervously. “Stop it, Allen…”“Just think about our meeting with Kimberly Yu later… We need to prepare for that.”Her gentle voice reminded Allen of a very important meeting. The fate of his company relies on his agreement with the Yu family. Now that Laura presented evidence of his infidelity, the share that he received from his father-in-law is going to be taken by Laura. This means that he is no longer going to be associated with the NM Group. However, he wanted to make use of the partnership he had with Crest Group. If he is successful with this, he can establish his own manufacturing company, catering to the biggest fashion brands. “Alright. Let's go home to pick Ayla up.”He pursed his lips as he hoped that Ayla would display her best attitude. Kimberly Yu is a well-known socialite. Most of the women she surrounds herself with are elegant and well-educated women. He could rem

    Though it was not explicitly mentioned, the Parkers took it as a signal that this could lead somewhere. The contract with NM Group would end in three years. So unless either of the two parties wants to dissolve it, it would still run for three more years. Jackson Yu patted his son’s shoulder. Though there are tons of good manufacturing companies in the country, no one does it better than NM Group. They are equipped with the most advanced equipment in the industry, this lifted Crest’s success to a greater degree. He knows that this is because Lu Technologies especially designed it for the NM group. The thing is, he already considered investing in his own manufacturing company. However, what he wants is the technology that would rival or exceed what Laura has. It’s just that, no matter how many times he tried to contact Harold Lu about it, he kept getting turned down. That’s why he agreed to get his son engaged to Laura’s stubborn young daughter. If they can’t get the technology, t

    Leila poked his muscular arms. “How about you? How’s your day?” “Well, it was a long day of lectures. But I’m not that tired.”In three years, he had worked hard to secure an internship at Lu Technologies. He was hoping to foster a good relationship with them so he could get a better chance of partnering up with them. ‘I can’t rely on the fact that Leila is my girlfriend. Auntie is still not talking to me, so I have to have a backup plan… Good thing, I gained a good connection in Lu technologies.’“Really? That’s very uneventful… But I have some good news to share,” said Leila as they walked towards Julius’ unit. Julius’ brows raised, intrigued with Leila’s news. “Really?

She was wearing a beautiful pink dress that I made for her paired with cute white sandals. “Lucy, don’t run fast!” Taylor Lown, my husband, anxiously ran after our daughter. Yes. Husband. We got married weeks before Lucy was born. Well, it was a shotgun civil wedding. I thought that instead of waiting until Lucienne was born, I just figured we do it before the due date. Of course, Taylor was all for it. He was so quick to arrange the most beautiful ceremony and reception I could ask for in that short amount of time. He did not dilly dally as he was afraid of me changing my mind. His words, not mine! I smiled as spread my arms, hugging Lucienne. “My light…” I kissed her curly hair. “Mommy, can I play with Esme?” Lucienne pointed at Esme, Rui’s daughter, who was walking around the beach with her older brother, Eon. “Sure, darling.” “Daddy, can you accompany Lucy down with Esme

    Leila — I got discharged from the hospital a week ago, and I am now staying in my mother’s house upon her insistence. After my parents found out about my pregnancy, they practically threatened me to go home with them. Well, it’s mostly just my mother who threatened me, but my father did worry about letting me live alone after that damn stabbing incident. Every now and then, Taylor would visit the house to talk to my dad about the progress of the investigation. And right now, he’s downstairs talking to them again. Whenever he’s around, I’d pretend to be busy so I have an excuse to not see him. However… “Miss, Ma’am Laura is calling for you. She said she needs you to come down now.” “Tell her I’m busy,” I answered. “But ma’am Laura said she’s not going to take no for an answer…” The maid frightfully ran downstairs, avoiding any of my rejection. “What do they need now?!” I can’t just go down… I can’t see him! But my mother might drag me down if I don’t go down there… Ais

    Taylor — “Thank you, handsome!” An old florist passed a beautiful bouquet of roses to me with a huge smile on her face. “I made it extra pretty for your wife,” she winked. With an image of Leila’s beautiful smile flashing in my mind, I unknowingly smiled. “Thank you. She loves roses.” The florist threw in a few petals of lilies on the side and said, “Well, take this lilies for your daughter.” “I— “Ah, ah, ah! It’s okay, don’t refuse! I want to put a smile on your daughter’s face as well. She must have been burdened on making your wife feel better.” “You should do better, handsome.” Confused with the florist’s vague words, I couldn’t help but frown. Still, it’s not like I have a daughter to make a big deal out of it. I walked out of the flower shop and headed back to my car to drive by Leila’s atelier. After everything that happened, perhaps I can formally court her this time. I’ve been so engrossed with work and helping with Leila’s case that I have put my love on hol

    Theodore intimately held Laura’s hands, and with a relieved smile, he said, “I’m so happy that the most important woman of my life gave me a chance to express my side.” “I fear of losing you both, especially now that I experienced such a blissful family life.” A surge of warmth emanated from the loving couple in front of Leila. Seeing how her mother’s messy love life unfolded in front of her eyes, she couldn’t help but feel a little bad. She realized that convincing her mother to divorce her father was completely out of line. Rather, she finally understood how deep their love developed. ‘Who am I to ruin such a beautiful couple?’ ‘I don’t even feel that hurt because of what he did… I know, and I can feel that he did it with good intentions.’ ‘The only thing I need to worry about is my family… My mother is already so old, she can figure out the life on her own.’ She instinctively touched her tummy, feeling the baby bump. ‘So long as I have my baby, I know it will all work out

    “Darling, you’re awake…” Theodore slowly walked up to the mother and daughter who were staring at him silently. “Did you hear from your mom already?” “About what? That I’m your biological daughter?” She passively asked. With the whirlwind of happenings the past day, everything is just overwhelming Leila. The neglectful father that she knew growing up turned out to not be her biological father. All her life she craved for her father’s affection only to be cast aside without knowing the reason why. It turns out, Allen Parker may have a reason for doing so. After all, not everyone can treat stepchildren as their own. ‘I don’t know if I should be relieved or what… This is so frustrating…’ Leila’s eyes were focused on Theodore who sat next to her mother. “Leila, darling…” “Why didn’t you tell us?” Theodore hesitated, his face looking a bit conflicted. “Darling, it’s complicated…” Laura sneered. “That’s what I asked him, Leila. He never explained why. If you didn’t urgentl

    “The baby seems very healthy, Mommy!” Said the doctor as she checked on Leila’s pelvic ultrasound on the screen. “But the baby bump is barely there, doc. What should I do?” With her slender body, she’s still concerned about how the bump that she wishes to see is barely visible. The OB-Gynecologist wiped the cold jelly from her belly and said, “Mommy, I can see a small bump. You’re just naturally fit. But if you observe your body, there are changes.” “I bet you had a really flat stomach before you got pregnant. Am I right?” Leila nodded. The doctor pointed at the visible bump in her lower abdomen area. “This bump right here is not there before right.” “But it’s not big yet… Is my baby getting all the nutrition she needs?” “Of course, mommy. It’s just that your tummy won’t grow that big yet. But it will definitely as your baby develops.” Leila reluctantly nodded. “Alright, doc. Thank you.” “No problem.

    Several weeks passed in a blur, and it was now Rui’s wedding. It was initially planned for her wedding dress to be loose so that it wouldn’t show her figure. But since she gave birth to her daughter, Esme a few weeks before the wedding. She was able to rest and spend more time with her newborn. The entire wedding preparations were handled by her husband, Chase. Leila expertly adjusted Rui’s gown to perfectly flatter her body. They were all satisfied with how the gown turned out. “Lei, where is Esme?” Rui in a beautiful chiffon gown asked Leila. The guests are having fun as they proceed with the wedding activities. “She’s sleeping in her room and Phyllis is looking after her,” answered Leila as she sipped on the sparkling soda that was handed by a server. Rui sincerely smiled, “Thank you, Lei.” Leila squeezed her hands, “Of course, I got you, my dearest.” Rui then went on with the activities with her husband, Chase.

    Leila was carefully driving her car back to her mother’s house after driving her friend, Phyllis to the airport. On their street, she saw a lot of cars parked near Phyllis and Zacharias’ house. “Are they media people…? That’s a lot…” The amount of people with big cameras waiting outside her friend’s house is insanely plenty. Just a few days ago, Phyllis’ husband was hospitalized because a crazy fan attempted to kidnap him. Now, people got a hold of this incident and were eager to get a scoop about it. “So that’s why Taylor told me not to go out…” “Well… No wonder that couple decided to flee the country.” She then parked her car in front of the house’s front entrance. She swung her keys as she walked inside her mother’s house. “Leila?!” Her mother jolted up from the couch as soon as she walked in. “What’s up?” “You! What did you do now?!” Confused, Leila asked, “What did I do…?” “First, you lied to Aunt Amanda about Rui’s wedding and impulsively went home. We’re not don

    KNOCK KNOCK Leila was drying her hair after a warm bath when she heard a knock on her door. “It must be him.” She hurried out of her room and opened the door. There, she saw Taylor standing outside, his whole body drenched from the rain. “Goodness, what happened to you?!” “Haha… It rained and I forgot to bring an umbrella.” “You didn’t drive?” “Why would I drive if there’s a convenience store nearby?” His hair is still dripping wet and the rainwater made Taylor’s dress shirt see-through. His lean body is showing because of this. His body was shivering from the cold, but still, he smiled as he handed over the plastic full of food that Leila requested. Feeling a little sorry for his appearance, she bit her lips. “Uh…” “Why don’t you come in and change?” She offered. Taylor beamed, “Sure!” He quickly took off his shoes and went inside. Leila could only watch him as he wore the fluffy pink bunny slippers he used before. ‘I mean, I’ll feel guilty if he gets sick aft
