[It’s you!] Deborah ran to hug the redhead, a wide smile on her face. "You’ve really grown. You’re not the little girl I remember," the redhead said, amused, as he returned the hug. Jayden felt a twinge of jealousy at the sight, although the man seemed somewhat older. Caroline, on the other hand, sighed and smiled, recognizing the person. It was time to reveal the truth. Meanwhile, Elliot and Christian watched the scene intently. "Dad, who is he?" Elliot asked, eyeing the redhead curiously. "He’s a friend,” said George. "You know, I’m surprised you recognized me," the redhead said, pulling away from the hug. [It’s because you haven’t changed much.] "Oh, that’s a compliment. But you know, I haven't changed because I stole the fountain of youth," the man joked, making Deborah laugh. Jayden cleared his throat, frowning at the redhead. "And you are...?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. [Right, guys, let me introduce you to Nicholas. He was my grandfather’s best apprentice at

"That’s true, you’re your mom’s spitting image," Caroline said, leaning in to look at the photo. "Let me see," Elliot requested. "Yes, Deborah is the living image of Alexandra," Nicholas commented amusedly. "By the way, Christian..." "Yes?" Christian replied, also looking at the photo. "I heard from George that you’re looking into crushing those usurping worms," Nicholas said, looking Christian in the eye. "But if you’re relying on that old will, you won’t win." "Old will?" Christian repeated, surprised. "I think you’re mistaken, Nicholas. The copy I got was from the government archives and..." He trailed off as Nicholas handed him a folder to read. "It’s a fake will. It was created with specific terms to catch Frederick’s attention and keep him busy trying to circumvent them." "But... wait, this date..." Christian said, noticing the detail. [What’s wrong?] Deborah asked. "As a lawyer, you know that the most recent will is the valid one," George explained. "The one yo

Deborah was stunned by what she had just heard. "And to clear up that nasty accusation from earlier, I never neglected you... What I did was ask someone very special to take on that task." [What...?] "Someone's been watching over Deborah?" Jayden asked, raising an eyebrow. "Not exactly," Nicholas replied, pointing to Caroline. "I couldn't approach you directly to help because Frederick was too close. So, I asked my niece for help." [Niece…] Deborah looked at her friend, who simply smiled. "Yeah, my mom is his sister," Caroline said, stepping closer. "But before you think or do anything crazy, let me tell you that he asked me to become your friend and take care of you. Over time, though, I did it because I wanted to, not because I had to. I like you, Deborah, and you're my best friend," she said, taking Deborah's hands and looking into her eyes. Deborah was amazed by what she heard, but when she felt her friend trembling slightly and saw the fear in her eyes, Deborah simpl

Sophia felt a mix of anger and anxiety. It had been four days since she kicked out that idiot Roger, and he still hadn't returned to see her. Adding to her frustration, she found out that the medical bill hadn't been paid—the hospital was now threatening to call the police if it wasn't settled soon. "This has to be a joke! You kill your own child and now you abandon me?" She fumed, waiting for Roger to answer her call. "Damn it, pick up!" "I told you not to push him too hard," her friend mocked from beside her, flipping through a magazine. "Shut up. He loves me and owes me his life and eternal gratitude." "Doubtful. Maybe he's not coming to see you because his mom already told him the truth about your lie." Sophia hung up after the tenth unanswered call, gripped the phone tightly, and snapped at her friend, "You know, I didn't ask for your opinion." "Why don't you just use some of the money you stole from him and pay it off?" Sophia’s friend asked. "Why don’t you pay my h

"A house?" Sophia repeated, excitement lighting up her face. "That's fantastic, honey!" "Yeah, I convinced my father to give me another chance so he bought me a new house to live in." "That's wonderful, honey. It means you'll slowly get back everything that belongs to us and—" "Us?" Roger raised an eyebrow, his tone turning mocking. "What are you talking about?" "Well—" "Sophia, I'm moving out. As for you... I don't care what you do from now on." "Roger, are you abandoning me now that we lost our baby?" "What baby?" "What do you mean, 'what baby?' Our child, the one I lost because of that stupid argument." "All I remember is you faking a faint and spilling blood on my expensive carpet." "What…?" Sophia looked at him, shocked and slightly angry. "How can you talk like that about my miscarriage?" she shouted, starting to cry. "Sophia, I won't fall for your bad acting," Roger said, frowning. "You should know that while you were asleep, another doctor examined you and

Since the meeting with Nicholas and George, a week had passed. Things got more complicated as Christian and Caroline formulated a new plan against the Andersons. ‘Why does everything have to be so complicated?’ Deborah thought, letting out a sigh as she stood up to stretch a bit after working on her computer. Everyone had been busy with paperwork, silently reclaiming all her family’s properties and putting them under James’s name. The plan was to attack Frederick and his family legally later on. While the plan made sense to her, it also filled her with fear. Putting everything in her son’s name was risky, just like Alexandra did with her. Coupled with Frederick’s greed, her mother ended up dead. What if Deborah suffered the same fate as her mother? What would happen to her baby? Would James be handed over to Frederick with the pathetic excuse of being his grandfather? Would they give him to Vanessa to raise? Deborah doubted Vanessa would ever care for the baby with love and ten

Jayden looked at the pin in amazement before a broad smile spread across his lips. "Of course, I accept being James's dad," he said, taking the accessory and pinning it to his shirt. He leaned in to kiss Deborah's lips. "You’re such a tease, you scared me." [Huh? What are you talking about?] Deborah asked with confusion in her eyes. "It’s just that when you came over with the box, I thought you were going to propose to me." [Oh, no. It was just the perfect box I found to put the pin in.] "Good. I thought you had outdone me and ruined my plan." [What?] "Ah… nothing, my love," Jayden said quickly, laughing nervously as he mentally scolded himself for almost ruining his own plans. "Um, well, as James's official dad, how about we go to the company tomorrow to look at the catalog for children's room decorations?" [I like that idea.] "Yay, we have plans for tomorrow. And also, do you remember tonight’s plan?" [Yes, my love. Later, we’re going to have dinner at your parent

"You're right. If it's my mom’s special color, I know where we should start. Come on," Jayden declared excitedly, taking Deborah's hand to guide her along the garden path. They arrived at a large glass greenhouse filled with multicolored roses. In the center were garden furniture and a large wall with a painting of a beautiful mountain landscape. "Look, this painting is her favorite because my dad made it and gave it to her on their first wedding anniversary." [It's beautiful.] Deborah admired the painting. Then she noticed something different. [Jayden, look in the lower right corner.] Jayden looked and spotted a new envelope, which was green. "Good eye," he said with a smile as he took the envelope and opened it. "Let's see, next clue: For love, nothing better than a flower... but which flower is the right one?" [That’s very specific.] "Well, not exactly. It’s tricky because my mom loves roses, and as you can see, the entire garden is filled with roses of different colors and

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.

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

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

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
