When Jaydenโs parents came to the front door, they were surprised to see Nicholas, but welcomed him warmly.โWelcome,โ Eric said, approaching to shake Nicholasโs hand.โThank you for the invitation.โโYou invited yourself,โ Jayden whispered irritably.โDonโt worry, son, itโs no problem,โ Samantha said playfully.โKeep annoying me and I wonโt let you marry my daughter.โโBut theyโre already engaged,โ Eric commented.โYes, but as Deborahโs father, I can refuse the marriage if Iโm not treated with respect.โ[Dad.] Deborah was amused.โDad?โ the Coopers repeated.[Yes. Today I found out that Iโm not Frederickโs daughter, but rather the daughter of my momโs ex-boyfriend, Nicholas Foster.]โIn a way, Iโm glad things turned out this way, dear,โ Samantha commented. โI couldnโt understand how your supposed father would mistreat you, but now it all makes sense.โโHmโฆโโThatโs why I asked to come and talk as a family since weโll be one soon,โ Nicholas said.โIn that case, come in!

The next day, for the first time, Jayden lied to Deborah, telling her he was going to work. In reality, he met with his father-in-law to go see the man; It would be easier to ask Vox to find Alexandra than to wait for Frederick to tell the truth.โYou look to be in a sorry state, kid. Whatโs wrong?โ Nicholas asked, noticing that his companion seemed a bit depressed.โItโs the first lie Iโve told Deborah, and I donโt like it. It makes me feel like Iโm turning into Roger,โ Jayden said, letting out a sigh.โOh come on, Jayden, donโt be dramatic. If you were becoming like him, Iโd be a stunning blonde with a large forehead,โ Nicholas said, pretending to be coquettish as he flipped his short hair and blinked rapidly.โPfftโฆ hahaha.โ Jayden couldnโt help but laugh at the poor imitation. โThanks. I think thatโs what I needed.โโYouโre welcome. Now letโs get serious because weโre about to arrive.โโYes. Donโt worry, my father gave me this card that was handed to him in case we wanted to

โAhโฆ what a mess,โ Brandon said, ruffling his hair. He looked to his right before smirking. โThe downside is that youโve gotten free and dangerous information, Cooper,โ he added, turning to face his guests.โIn that case, I think we can negotiate my silence,โ Jayden said with a smirk but quickly became serious when he saw several of the men guarding them pulling out their weapons and aiming at him.โPfft, hahaha! Good one,โ Brandon said, approaching to take a glass of water that had been left on the table. โRelax, guys, it was a joke,โ he instructed, making everyone return to their positions and holster their weapons. โCome on, follow me,โ he ordered Jayden and Nicholas. โWeโll go to my office to talk in private.โJayden and Nicholas stood up and followed him in silence.Upon entering, they noticed the office was luxurious. Brandon settled on a sofa, and they mirrored him by sitting on the other sofa in the room to face each other.โNowโโ Brandon began, but was interrupted as a be

Sophia was furious; her brother had betrayed her by refusing to help and, even worse, had humiliated her in front of all his subordinates by dragging her out forcefully.She cursed herself internally for running out of optionsโฆ or maybe not.She remembered seeing Jayden Cooper at that place, indicating that he had gone to discuss business with her brother. This was strange; that family could get whatever they wanted. Something must have happened for them to seek out this organization for a favor.An idea came to her mindโif she played her cards right, she could cause a lot of trouble for the mute woman and maybe even make her miscarry out of anger, because that bastard Roger was ignoring her now.Discreetly, she returned to her brotherโs premises to take some photos of Jayden, particularly capturing the moment when the maid was serving them drinks. She planned to edit the images to make them more amusing.โItโs time for you to see that your story will always repeat itself because

โI know many women will want something like this because the colors go well with any dress,โ Elliot said.โAnd this is just one of many, as Iโve been busy creating a whole collection,โ he added, pulling out his phone to show her the other pieces he had made: a choker, earrings, a ring, and even a matching hair accessory.[These will definitely be the premium products of the company. Have you presented them to the public yet?] Deborah asked.โNot yet, and thatโs also why Iโm here,โ Elliot said, pulling out a black invitation with silver lettering. โI want you to attend the presentation tomorrow night.โ[It will be an honor to be there.] Deborah said, taking the invitation and smiling at seeing her name on the envelope.โAnd itโs a luxury event, so no casual wear. Youโll be stunning if you wear my bracelet, and Jayden can come too,โ Elliot said.[Then it will be a great event.]โYes, because it will be my first collection. At this event, Dad will announce that Iโm the new CEO of t

In the late afternoon, Elliot said goodbye to Deborah as he needed to go to bed early to have energy for the next day.Curiously, just as she was closing the door after saying goodbye, there was another knock. When she opened the door, Caroline threw herself into her arms.โIโm dying,โ she declared dramatically.[You sure do look like it.]โHey!โ Caroline complained, pulling away with a playful smile. โIโve been up since 5, but weโre done with the moving,โ she said, stretching as she entered the house.[The moving?]โYeah, remember I mentioned the trouble my in-laws had with the new neighbors?โ Caroline said, lounging on the sofa.[Yes, I remember.] Deborah headed to the kitchen to get a glass of water for her friend.โThanks,โ Caroline said, taking the glass and gulping it down. โAhโฆ delicious. Well, to avoid more problems, we offered to move into the house so they wonโt have to worry about rent anymore.โ[Thatโs good. Theyโll be more at ease.]โYeah, and Christian too, beca

George was exhausted; age was taking its toll on him, but at that moment, the fatigue didnโt matter because he felt proud seeing the hard work and effort of his younger son paying off.That morning had started off hectic as they were doing the final photo session with the models and the jewelry. These images would be shown as a video during the runway show to highlight the pieces.Elliot was working with the photographer to guide and assist the models in striking the best poses to showcase each piece most attractively.โIt was definitely a good idea to change my mind because I see that you really feel that passion for designing jewelry,โGeorge thought as he watched Elliot look happy and comfortable with what he was doing.โDadโฆโโEhโฆโ George snapped out of his thoughts and saw Elliot looking at him. โSorry, were you calling me?โโBoss, if youโd like, I can get you a chair or a coffee,โ the photographer offered. โYou look tired.โโIโll take the coffee, Danny,โ George said, notici

Amidst the work and final corrections, night fellThe grand event hall of the company began to fill with all the guests.At that moment, reporters were closely watching everyone who arrived, paying attention to everything from their attire to the color of the invitations they presented.Their reliable sources informed them that guests were divided into three categories: blue invitations for reporters and some celebrities, red invitations for millionaires and politicians, and white invitations for all the companyโs employees. Additionally, theyโd heard that a special black envelope had been sent to an honorary guest, so they were eager to uncover that person's identity.Thus, reporters began speculating that the special guest might be Elliotโs secret girlfriend or Georgeโs new partner.Among all this anticipation, Roger, Isabelle, and Sophia arrived; they stepped out of a rented limousine to give the appearance of being important guests due to their family connections.โIs it just

Extra 40: A Happy and Perfect Life Part 1Time began to pass quickly, bringing good, bad, and sad moments that gradually changed the family.One good thing that happened was that after much reflection, Roger managed to make peace with his father, asking for forgiveness for all the stupid things he had done when he was younger. He also apologized to his little brother for being such a jerk.Even though he didnโt want to, Elliot reluctantly accepted the apologies because his wife convinced him that holding onto grudges wasnโt healthy.Unfortunately, the Peterson family only got to celebrate being united for a short period of time because two weeks after that reconciliationโฆ George passed away of natural causes.That was a tragic moment for everyone, one that shook his friends, reminding them of how precious and short life is.

Extra 39: Deborah and JamesAfter lunch, and taking advantage of when his father taking his little siblings to their extracurricular activities, James sought out his mom to talk with her.โMom,โ he called out when he saw her in her study, reading some papers.โHey, come in,โ she said, looking up and setting aside the documents for a moment.โMore work?โโNot exactly. These are the reports of the current buildings for sale in the city.โโHuhโฆ are you already looking into that?โโWell, son, your sister graduates next year, and a year is not a lot of time to start a company from scratch.โโWill it already be furnished for her?โ he asked, taking the documents to read them.โYes, thatโs why I want to buy a warehouse to remodel or a vacant lot so you and your dad can work your magic to build it and make it just like Elizabeth wants.โโItโs a project I canโt wait to start,โ James said excitedly.โYour little siblings are also helping me, looking into sewing stores to buy industrial

Extra 38: A Fatherโs FearsHonestly, it was a strange conversation for James, one he never thought heโd haveโฆ in fact, not even in his wildest dreams did he imagine having this kind of interaction with the man who was supposedly his biological father.After telling him a bit about his school life, James paid the bill and said goodbye to Roger, as he had to get back to the office; he didnโt want to be away from work for too long.When he entered the conference room, he saw his father talking to some other architects.โGreat, weโre all set then,โ Jayden said, dismissing them. โSon, how did it go?โ he asked as James approached him.โFine, but it was weird.โโSo... has he started to feel his age?โโI think so,โ James replied, making a face.โAnd what did he want?โโWell, he just started talking to me, apologizing for being absent, and now he wants us to meet up to talk because he wants to get to know me,โ James said, scratching his head. โI donโt knowโฆ it seemed odd that he wants

Extra 37: A Late Talk Part 2โWow, sorry for the confusion.โโDonโt worry about it. My family supported me, and thanks to learning the truth, I understood why we had three grandfathers.โโI imagine you became an architect because of Jayden.โโThatโs right. My motivation was seeing how his drawings came to lifeโฆ it excited me to the point where I wanted to do the same, and as the days went by, that desire grew stronger, so I decided to make it a reality,โ he said, his excitement evident in his words. โThough I also saw that Uncle did something similar by turning his sketches into beautiful jewelry, but that didnโt impress me as much.โโI see, but didnโt my dad teach you the basics of the company?โโYes, Grandpa showed me the trade,โ James said with a smile. โIn fact, Iโm a good appraiser, and I know how to make jewelry because Uncle also taught me the basics of jewelry design and creation. But I see that as a hobby because the only jewelry Iโve made has been for my mom, my sisters

What are you doing here?โ James questioned, frowning slightly.โJamesโฆ Iโฆโ Roger stammered nervously, his words catching in his throat and refusing to come out.โAre you here to apologize on behalf of your daughter?โโSomething like that,โ he said, finally managing to speak, though he made a face. โWould you let me talk to you?โโTo me?โ James asked, confused, pointing to himself. โAbout what?โโCan I invite you for a drink so we can talk?โโWhat do you want with my son?โ At that moment, Roger saw his longtime rival approaching and standing next to the young man.โJayden, please let me talk to James,โ Roger pleaded.The now platinum-blonde looked confused at his rival. It was the first time Roger had called him by his name, and he could see that Roger seemed genuinely sorry and defeated.

Extra 36: Late Regrets Part 1Roger didnโt return home for the rest of the night. He ignored the cries of his โdaughterโ as he headed to the nearest bar to have a drink and try to clear his mind.Seeing his father defeated and exhausted had made him stop and think.While sipping his third beer, he raised his gaze and saw his reflection in the mirror behind the bar, realizing that an old man was staring back at him... which scared him. He now looked at his hands, which had more wrinkles than he remembered. When had he changed so much?His once beautiful hair was now streaked with gray, his face showed his age, and he had dark circles under his dull eyes.When had he gotten so old?And why did he look like this?He was supposed to age gracefully, but that wasnโt the case... because what he saw in that mirror was a shell of the successful man he once was.He thought back to James.
