“Let him go!” Isabelle demanded, moving in to help her son. She slapped Deborah, sending her sprawling to the ground and making her release the baby.

Deborah scowled, glaring hatefully at Isabelle, who flinched under the intensity of that look.

“Say another word and I swear you’ll never see your brat again,” Isabelle warned.

“Talk about a hypocrite. Just a moment ago he was your grandchild, and now he’s just a brat.”

“Obviously, because you’re so useless you couldn’t even give birth to a child who looks like my baby. Therefore, I can’t recognize him as my grandchild.”

“Mom, enough.”

“You shut up, Roger. I’m doing this for your own good,” Isabelle snapped. “With this brat on our side, we’ll reclaim everything that belongs to us.”

“I’m not going to let you use my son as a bargaining chip! Give him back!” Deborah said, trying to advance towards Roger to take him back. But Sophia intervened, shoving her away.

“Listen to my mother-in-law and step back,” Sophia ordered, laugh

    Isabelle smiled triumphantly as she saw the small lump on the ground, which had stopped crying after the impact. Sophia was in shock, staring at the baby’s body. It was one thing to say they’d get rid of him and another to make it a reality... Roger was equally stunned by what had happened, not believing his mother was capable of such an act. Deborah had fallen to her knees, her head lowered, silent and motionless. “Well, I think I’m satisfied now,” Isabelle said with a smug grin, dusting off her hands. “Yeah, I suppose you are,” Deborah said, struggling to stand while discreetly pulling something from her clothes. “Oh, come on. You’re still young, and I hope next time you’ll give birth to a child who actually looks like his father,” Isabelle said, adjusting her clothes. “You know, it’s funny what you’re saying,” Deborah said, lifting her gaze to meet Isabelle’s eyes. “Because if we follow that logic...” she said, pointing a gun at Roger, “then we should kill Roger becaus

    “Wait… you knew about this?”“What the hell is going on?” Isabelle demanded furiously as she struggled to stand with Sophia's help.“I think it’s pretty obvious, Mom.”“We organized this to teach you a lesson,” came a sharp voice from behind them.The voice was so familiar that it made Isabelle tremble. She spun around to find George, Elliot, and several police officers staring back at her.“So...” Elliot said, glancing sideways at the detective, Alistair.“With all this evidence, we can place Isabelle in a psychiatric facility where she will be safely confined without harming anyone,” Alistair stated.“What…? A psychiatric facility?” Sophia echoed, her voice trembling. “But she… she just killed the baby...”“Sophia, be grateful that this beautiful baby only represents a financial loss,” Deborah said, approaching the bundle on the ground to pull back the blanket. Beneath it were shards of porcelain and a sound box. “If it had really been my James, you and this old hag would alr

    A little while earlier, Jayden had quickly walked away, pretending to be hurt by Deborah’s ‘betrayal.’ He also noticed a reporter following them closely, which meant Marie had paid someone to record everything happening to create a scandal around their breakup.“Jayden...” Marie called out as she ran to catch up with him, grabbing his arm.“Marie, seriously... I want to be alone,” he said, stopping to look at her, trying to hold back tears.“No, my love, don’t cry. That woman doesn’t deserve it,” she said, moving closer to touch his face and trying to dry his tears.This close moment was discreetly photographed, just as Marie had planned. She continued playing the role of the supportive shoulder for her beloved.“But I loved her, and... and I thought the three of us...”“If what you want is a family, I can give you that,” she said, taking his face in her hands.“What...” Jayden looked at her, confused.“Yes, Jayden, you know, all this time we’ve been apart, I never stopped th

    After adjusting her clothes, Marie tried to cling to Jayden’s arm, hoping to tempt him with her body.Unfortunately, she noticed that he wasn’t interested or reacting to her flirting; he was just staring out the window, which frustrated her a bit... but she wouldn’t give up. She was determined to make him forget that woman and become the only owner of his heart.Jayden, on the other hand, was holding back the urge to push her away because he was disgusted by women like her, especially when he knew the real reason behind her sudden persistence.To distract himself and ignore Marie, he kept his mind busy thinking about Deborah, knowing they should be on their way to the key point where the police were waiting to arrest those women. Roger had better protect her, or he’d have to answer to him.Just then, he received a message, which he discreetly checked, noticing it was from Caroline with a picture of James playing with Christian and two stuffed animals. The image was accompanied by a

    "No, of course not.""Then... why are you so insistent on being with me when you know I already have my own family?""But she's betraying you with her ex, and...""Whatever, that's not your problem," Jayden declared, standing up."Of course, it is, because I love you," she said desperately, grabbing his hands. "I care about you, and that's why I stepped in—I don't want to see you suffer.""And what about the suffering I went through when you left me over a tantrum? Doesn't that count?" he asked, pulling his hands away from hers."That's exactly why I want to protect you and—""Protect him, or the Cooper fortune that could save you from bankruptcy?" At that moment, a voice startled Marie.When she looked toward the entrance of the house, she saw Deborah walking in."You... what are you doing here?""Obviously, protecting my husband from a gold-digger like you," Deborah said."And also making sure you don't get any ideas about my family's money," Samantha added as she entered

    As they watched Marie being arrested, everyone let out a sigh of relief.“Finally...” Samantha said. “It’s over.”“Yeah... unless...?” Deborah began, turning to look Jayden in the eyes.“What?” he asked, a little nervous.“There aren’t any more crazy ex-girlfriends, are there?”“Don’t worry, there aren’t,” he replied, taking her hand and pulling her into a hug. “After her, I didn’t get involved with anyone else. I wanted to focus on my studies and my passion for construction.”“That’s true, dear, I can confirm that,” Samantha added.“Well, in that case, yes... it’s finally over,” Deborah said, lifting her face to kiss Jayden on the lips.“By the way, how did they behave?” Jayden asked.“In the end, it was clear that Isabelle was out of her mind. She didn’t hesitate to throw her grandson to the ground,” Deborah said with a grimace.“What...” Samantha said, horrified. “But... why?”“For a narcissistic reason.”“What do you mean?” Samantha and Jayden asked.“She said it was b

    “Really?” Deborah asked, confused.“Yes,” Samantha said, amused.“And I’ll help,” Caroline added excitedly.“Hey! What are you all hiding from me?” Deborah demanded, realizing she was the only one not in on the plan.“You’ll find out tomorrow,” they all replied in unison.This made Deborah a bit nervous, but then she laughed, seeing how everyone had gone to great lengths to keep the surprise from her.Since the weather was nice, they decided to stay at Caroline and Christian’s house that night to celebrate finally giving those women the lesson they deserved.They ordered food and called Eric and Nicholas to join the celebration.Since they ended up staying late, Jayden and Deborah decided to spend the night at Nicholas’s to avoid moving James. It was also so that the little one could spend his first night at his grandpa’s house.The next morning, Deborah woke up a bit late, noticing she was alone in the room. When she went out to look for everyone, she didn’t get any answers.

    “What...” Deborah was stunned, taking a closer look at the place and noticing that the unknown man was the judge.“I think this is the best way to celebrate the closure of our pasts, don’t you think?” Jayden said, taking her hand.“You’re right; it’s the perfect way to celebrate.”“By the way, you look stunning,” he said, giving her a flirtatious look.“Thanks,” Caroline replied, making the couple laugh.“Darling...” Christian scolded her for interrupting the romantic moment.“What? I put all the magic into Debbie’s outfit: the clothes, accessories, makeup, and hairstyle,” Caroline declared proudly.“And she’s right,” Jayden said, making her smile.James cooed at the sight of his mom’s earrings and tried to grab them.“No, darling,” Deborah said, pulling away a bit and holding his little hands to kiss them while listening to his laughter.“He’s drawn to the color,” Samantha noted, seeing him try to grab them again.“Yes,” Deborah said, smiling.“Ahem...” the judge cleared h

    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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
