"Your card?"Sophia grimaced and handed it over.Roger took the card and entered the details into the system. "I can offer you 1,500.""What? Why? That necklace is worth at least 5,000! Or don’t you know how to tell a genuine diamond?""Of course I do, but in its current state, the diamonds look dull due to wear, sweat, and makeup residue," he explained, showing her the flaws he mentioned. "And here, you can see where the metal has been scratched by other pawn shops, so this piece is already damaged and won’t fetch much in resale. Plus, your history shows you’ve never reclaimed any of your pawned items."Sophia gritted her teeth, feeling humiliated as she noticed the other employees snickering at Roger’s words. "Are you trying to get revenge on me?""I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m just telling you what the system says.""Liar.""I’m not, but don’t think I don’t want to get back at you for stealing and scamming me out of a lot of money. Now that I think about it...

Meanwhile, at Peterson Group, things were bustling as they began preparing the small summer collection.At that moment, Deborah arrived at the company, helped out of the vehicle by her beloved."My love, are you sure you’ll be okay?" Jayden asked."Yes, I already told him I’ve arrived, so he should be down from his office any minute.""Okay, and sorry, my love, but I won’t be able to join you for lunch today.""It’s fine, don’t worry. Just focus on your work.""Okay, love," Jayden said, giving her a kiss on the lips. "Hey, if they can’t drive you home, call the company and have them assign a driver to pick you up, alright? I don’t want you taking a taxi.""Okay.""Promise me.""I promise, love. I’ll call to ask for a car since you and my dad are busy," she repeated playfully.Jayden laughed and, after giving her one last kiss, returned to his car while waving goodbye as he headed to the construction site since they were close to finishing the hotel.She waved back until the

"That’s a better arrangement. You’ll have support because caring for a baby isn’t easy during the first few years.""Everyone’s told me that," Deborah said with a laugh.Just then, the door opened, and Elliot returned, carrying his sketchbook and a portfolio.Fabian was with him, holding a tray with three glasses of juice and some folders."I think that’s enough for today, Fabian," George said when he saw the folders."This is the last batch for today, sir. In the afternoon, you’ll be free to review all the finalists’ designs from the contest.""Alright," George said, letting out a sigh."Here you go, Deborah," Fabian said, handing her a glass."Thank you.""It’s strange to hear you talk, but it’s a nice change," he remarked before leaving to return to his desk."Look, Debbie," Elliot said, sitting close to her as he opened his sketchbook. "These are the drawings I made based on the idea you told me about in your messages," he said, handing her the notebook and opening the po

As the days went by, it became increasingly difficult for Deborah to stay active, which frustrated her a little. She felt useless because even taking a few steps would leave her tired."You know, son, you’re not making this easy," she complained, pausing her typing for a moment to stretch a little, as she couldn’t stay in one position for too long. "Love, we need to finish this work because, with my flexible schedule, there’s no excuse for not taking a vacation," she said, feeling a little kick in response.She chuckled, realizing she was now arguing with her baby.Deborah made a face as she remembered how that morning, she had argued with Jayden for the first time, thanks to her hormones. She didn’t want to be left alone at home.Part of her understood why he needed to go to work, but another part didn’t because she wanted to spend the whole day with him."Ah... what are we going to do... it’s the first time I’ve argued with your dad... and he left for work upset and sad becaus

"Well, I don’t know... I had a big argument with Deborah this morning and... I don’t know... I don’t know why it happened, but I feel bad because we’ve never fought before.""Well, son, every couple has disagreements in their married life," his father said, taking a sip of his drink. "What’s important is how you resolve that conflict without making the problem bigger.""Hm..." Jayden sighed and took a big gulp of his drink."Can I ask what the argument was about?""It was about work because today she asked me to stay with her... but I had to come in, and when she kept insisting, I decided to call you to say I wouldn’t be coming in. Then suddenly, she got mad and pushed me out of the house, telling me to leave because it was obvious I cared more about work than her.""Ah... so that’s what happened," Eric said with a knowing smile, recalling a similar experience with his own wife. He had a pretty good idea of what was going on. "In that case, son, don’t worry; this isn’t anything se

As the days passed, Jayden began to discover a new side of Deborah, one that he liked, a lot.He finally understood why some of his coworkers had told him that when a woman is pregnant, she can develop multiple personalities.He hadn’t believed it at the time because back then, his partner only got a bit irritable when she didn’t get the sweets or food she wanted. But now he was slowly re-discovering a woman who was eager and passionate, something that surprised and delighted him.So, to avoid a repeat of the previous situation, he decided that this weekend he would devote himself entirely to his beloved."Good morning," he said playfully, kissing Deborah on the lips as he felt her stir a little."Good morning," she replied with a smile."How are my loves this morning?""A little sore and tired.""Well, that’s because someone didn’t want me to stop last night," he teased, noticing how she suddenly blushed."Um... I don’t know what you’re talking about," she said, turning her g

"It was just a scare, and that’s why I’m recommending this brand because it requires a trick to remove," Omar explained, demonstrating how it worked."That’s good because a baby’s instinct is just to pull," Samantha commented."In that case, please install this protector on all the low sockets in the house," Deborah requested."Of course," Omar said, making notes in his planner. "Now, let’s move on to the main area—the living room," he continued, projecting some images on his laptop. "Jayden mentioned that you currently work from home, so although we’re changing the furniture in the living room to these," he said, showing the new layout in the projection, "they’ll be made of comfortable and easy-to-clean materials. In this space on the right, I’ll create an area where James can be close to you but without invading your workspace, complete with built-in storage where you can keep his things if you need to change his diaper.""I like that. This way, I won’t have to leave the room whe

After discussing all the significant changes they wanted for the house, Omar left with Jayden’s parents to see what modifications would be made to the annex to ensure the remodeling didn’t compromise comfort."It looks like Omar is going to be very busy," Deborah commented when she was alone with Jayden."That’s true, and technically, that’s a good thing.""Yes.""Well, since we’re here, come with me. I want to show you something," Jayden said, taking her hand and guiding her through the house until they reached a specific room.When they arrived, she noticed a sign on the door that read: Jayden’s Building Block LabJayden smiled and opened the door, revealing a fantasy-themed room.Deborah had seen it in some photos he had shown her, but seeing it in person was a different experience. She noticed many detailed projects on the large table in the middle of the room, which seemed to depict a large city with trees and even vehicles."What do you think?" Jayden asked, both embarras

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 didn’t want to, Elliot reluctantly accepted the apologies because his wife convinced him that holding onto grudges wasn’t healthy.Unfortunately, the Peterson family only got to celebrate being united for a short period of time because two weeks after that reconciliation… 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. Those who suffered the most from the loss of their Grandpa George were Howard and Fiona. But their parents, uncles, and maternal grandparents showered them wit

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.“Mom,” he called out when he saw her in her study, reading some papers.“Hey, come in,” she said, looking up and setting aside the documents for a moment.“More work?”“Not exactly. These are the reports of the current buildings for sale in the city.”“Huh… are you already looking into that?”“Well, son, your sister graduates next year, and a year is not a lot of time to start a company from scratch.”“Will it already be furnished for her?” he asked, taking the documents to read them.“Yes, that’s 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.”“It’s a project I can’t wait to start,” James said excitedly.“Your little siblings are also helping me, looking into sewing stores to buy industrial

Extra 38: A Father’s FearsHonestly, it was a strange conversation for James, one he never thought he’d have… 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 didn’t want to be away from work for too long.When he entered the conference room, he saw his father talking to some other architects.“Great, we’re all set then,” Jayden said, dismissing them. “Son, how did it go?” he asked as James approached him.“Fine, but it was weird.”“So... has he started to feel his age?”“I think so,” James replied, making a face.“And what did he want?”“Well, 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,” James said, scratching his head. “I don’t know… it seemed odd that he wants

Extra 37: A Late Talk Part 2“Wow, sorry for the confusion.”“Don’t worry about it. My family supported me, and thanks to learning the truth, I understood why we had three grandfathers.”“I imagine you became an architect because of Jayden.”“That’s right. My motivation was seeing how his drawings came to life… 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,” he said, his excitement evident in his words. “Though I also saw that Uncle did something similar by turning his sketches into beautiful jewelry, but that didn’t impress me as much.”“I see, but didn’t my dad teach you the basics of the company?”“Yes, Grandpa showed me the trade,” James said with a smile. “In fact, I’m 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 I’ve made has been for my mom, my sisters

Extra 37: A Late Talk Part 1“I’ll ask you again. What are you doing here?” James questioned, frowning slightly.“James… I…” Roger stammered nervously, his words catching in his throat and refusing to come out.“Are you here to apologize on behalf of your daughter?”“Something like that,” he said, finally managing to speak, though he made a face. “Would you let me talk to you?”“To me?” James asked, confused, pointing to himself. “About what?”“Can I invite you for a drink so we can talk?”“What do you want with my son?” At that moment, Roger saw his longtime rival approaching and standing next to the young man.“Jayden, please let me talk to James,” 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. Jayden let out a sigh. “James, go with him.”“What?” James looked at him, surprised and confused.“Are you serious?” Roger said, a note of h

Extra 36: Late Regrets Part 2The next morning, during breakfast, Roger was focused on his phone, determined to reach out to James and be the one to make the first contact.“Hey, Dad,” Cassandra called out, trying to get his attention, noticing he was more focused on his phone than his breakfast.“What is it?” Roger asked, looking up.“Well... hey, what are we going to do about last night?”“What?” he said with a frown.“Come on, Dad, aren’t you going to do something about Grandpa and—”“Casandra, enough... I think whatever happened last night should have made the situation clear.”“But…”“They no longer see me as family, and they never recognized you as such, so just forget about it because it’s only the three of us, no one else.”“No…”“Cassandra, enough,” her mother scolded. “I told you yesterday not to go, and all you did was humiliate yourselves in public,” she said, looking her daughter in the eyes. “Grow up already. You lost that boy because you chased something that

Extra 36: Late Regrets Part 1Roger didn’t return home for the rest of the night. He ignored the cries of his ‘daughter’ 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 wasn’t the case... because what he saw in that mirror was a shell of the successful man he once was.He thought back to James. That boy had surpassed him in height; he was the version of himself Roger had always wanted to be: ta

Extra 35: Total BreakElliot was furious to see Roger and his daughter at the party.“Why did you hurt my daughter?” Roger hadn’t recognized James and just wanted to help his princess. “Who do you think you are…?” Then he saw James and, how could he not recognize him? He was Roger’s spitting image, giving the latter the same hateful look Roger himself wore.“I should ask you the same thing, sir. Who do you think you are, crashing a private event?” James asked.Roger was about to respond, but…“What’s the meaning of this?” George asked, approaching them.“Grandpa, they attacked me, and…” Cassandra started to say.“Miss, don’t call my grandpa ‘Grandpa,’” declared Howard.“Tom, call security,” Eric ordered. “Get these two out of the party.”Among the guests, a blond young man recognized Cassandra but didn’t go to help her because his parents didn’t allow it. They didn’t want to end up caught in the middle of the problem and become collateral damage, nor did they want to fall out
