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.

Adrian's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with possibilities. Who could be visiting him? He hadn't had a visitor in years, not since his trial.He stood up, his movements fluid and calculated, and followed the officer out of his cell. As they walked down the corridor, Adrian's heart beat with a mix of curiosity and wariness.Who was it? A lawyer? A journalist?

On the other hand, Aaron was learning about his family from his father Evan and how Evan and Bella met.Aaron started trusting Evan. However, little did he know that Evan was not being entirely truthful about his past.Evan thought it best to hide painful memories of the past from his son because he was too young to understand it all.Evan's heart skipped a beat as he heard Aaron's words. He knew he had to let him go, but a part of him wanted to hold on to this moment, to keep Aaron close."Okay, buddy," Evan said, trying to sound casual despite the turmoil inside him.Aaron stood up, and Evan stood up with him and came out of the mansion. Malissa said good bye to him, and he bid his good-bye, and they both got into the car and drove off.Both reach Bella's house as Aaron told him about his address, and he stops the car a few blocks away; he doesn't want her to see them together this soon.
