Bella arrived at the office at 8:30 am, 30 minutes before the scheduled meeting time. She wanted to make a good impression and be prepared for the client's arrival. As she stepped out of her car, she took a deep breath, smoothing out her dress.

Since she was unknown to the client, she wanted to make a strong first impression. As Bella sat in the meeting room waiting for her to come, she thought about the meeting ahead. She was the CEO of a prestigious architecture company, and she was here to meet a new client who was interested in building a custom home. The client, Ms. Ross, was a wealthy businesswoman who had a reputation for being discerning and demanding.

Bella's assistant, Rachel, had arranged the meeting, and Bella had only received brief information about the project. She knew that Ms. Ross was looking for a modern, eco-friendly design with a lot of natural light and a spacious open floor plan.

"What's going on, Mark?" he asked, his voice firm and authoritative."Good morning, sir," Mark replied, sounding tense. "We've got a problem on our hands. The employees at the factory are striking, refusing to work until their demands are met." Evan's grip on the phone tightened.Evan's mind raced as he thought about the implications of the strike.

    Bella was in her cabin and was busy with her work. The cabin door opens, and she thinks it is Rachel, so she does not look in that direction."The work on the Knight Mansion has progressed so far; the design is ready, so it would be better to start the construction work as well; the sooner we get rid of this work, the better it will be.""You are in a hurry to get rid of me, Bella."She looked towards the voice, and it was Evan.Bella got up from her seat in shock."What are you doing in my cabin without permission, leave the cabin, why are you in my office?" Bella asked irritated.Evan chuckled, a mischievous glint in his eye. "I'm sorry, Bella. I didn't mean to startle you. I just wanted to surprise you."Bella's expression softened slightly, but her tone remained firm. "Surprise me? You're not supposed to be here, Evan. This is my private cabin."Evan held up his hands, a gesture of surrender. "I know, I know. I just wanted to talk to you.""But I'm not interested in talking to you

    She was surprised to hear that, and Evan had expected that; he was sure that Aaron was his son and he would soon confirm it."Bella's words got stuck in her throat."Evan's eyes locked onto Bella's, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "He must be a bright and curious boy; may be he has your spark, your passion. And he's got my eyes, my smile."Bella's face went pale, her eyes wide with shock. "H-how do you know ?" she stuttered.Bella's mind reeled, her thoughts racing. How did Evan know about Aaron?"I was just guessing, is it true?"Bella doesn't answer, and at that moment the cabin door opens. Both of them were still in the same position. As soon as the door opens, both of them look in that direction."Jason," Bella whispers.Jason's eyes widened in surprise as he took in the scene before him. Bella, trapped between Evan's arms, her face pale and shocked. Evan, his eyes burning with intensity, his gaze fixed on Bella."Jason, what are you doing here?" Bella asked, her voice bare

    Aaron's eyes narrowed, his expression skeptical. "But why should I believe you? You're a stranger."Evan nodded, understanding Aaron's doubts. "I know I am. But I have proof, Aaron. Your mother's name is Bella." Aaron's eyes went wide. "How did you know that?"Evan's voice cracked with emotion. "Because I'm your father, Aaron. And she was my wife.""Mommy never told me about you; how can I believe it?""I know my son; actually, mommy is angry with daddy because daddy has hurt mommy, and due to many misunderstandings, mommy is angry. You are too young to understand all this, Aaron, but the truth is that you are my son."Aaron's lower lip trembled as he looked at Evan, his eyes searching for answers. "Do you really think Mommy is mad at you?"Evan nodded, his eyes filled with regret. "Yes, son. I think she is. But I want to make it right. I want to be your father, and I want to make things right with your mother too.""Aaron, I want to show you something. Something that will help you un

    Bella nodded, her expression a mix of frustration and concern. "I know, Jason. I feel like I'm losing control of my life again. He's inserting himself into every aspect of my world, and I don't know how to stop him."Jason's face darkened. "We'll figure out a way to stop him, Bella.""I feel so trapped, Jason. I thought I'd moved on, but now he's back, and it's like no time has passed at all."Jason reached out, pulling Bella into a hug. "You're not alone, Bella. We'll get through this together. I'll support you every step of the way."Her phone rang, and they broke the hug. She looked at the caller ID, and it was Evelyn. She picked up the call.Bella's eyes widened in alarm as she listened to the voice on the other end of the line."Evelyn, what's wrong?" Bella asked, her voice laced with concern.Jason could hear the panic in Evelyn's voice, even from across the table."Bella, it's Aaron...he's gone missing!
