“Wow… this place is beautiful,” Caroline said, awestruck.Deborah was equally amazed by the private neighborhood Jayden had brought them to.“I’ve heard about these private houses. They’re like something out of a dream,” Christian commented, observing the spacious homes around them. The air was filled with a familial atmosphere, and the environment felt safe with security guards patrolling the streets and the neighborhood entrance.“My father calls them ‘homes for the “not-so-rich” rich,’” Jayden joked. “This was my first project as president. It’s for people who are wealthy but don’t want to live in a huge mansion with servants. They want security, but also privacy and a sense of community. Here, you get a private space, a community of neighbors, some local shops, and strict security 24/7.”“I’ve heard about this concept. They call them 'homes for the rich poor' on TV,” Caroline said excitedly.“Yeah, it was a big hit when it launched and it’s still popular. Our properties have a

“What do you mean, prepare? Prepare for what?” he asked, confused.[It’s a secret.]“Oh… how mysterious,” he chuckled. “Hey, Deborah, do you think that, um… well, you know… when you’re officially divorced, maybe you and I…”[Jayden, I see you as a good friend.] Deborah smiled sadly.“I know, but… could you give me a chance?”[Well, I…]“Hey, don’t worry. I know it’s early, but I want you to consider me in the future because you seem like a perfect woman, beautiful inside and out,” he said, moving closer to gently caress her face with the back of his right hand.[Jayden…] Deborah blushed at his words as it was the first time someone had called her beautiful.“I understand it’s sudden, but my feelings are real. I even learned sign language and Morse code just to communicate with you naturally, instead of making you carry around a notebook all the time.”She felt a bit embarrassed by his confession, remembering the first time she met him when she knocked on his door asking for he

Deborah felt a slight shiver, but she tried to push her anxiety away from her mind because no one would come to yell at her anymore. She approached the mirror in the living room, where she smiled at her reflection.‘Don't be afraid, Deborah. This is the first step to finding your own happiness,’ she told herself.For the first time in a long time, she finally managed to sleep early and didn't set her alarm because there was no one left to attend to. The next morning, she woke up early, feeling a bit startled to find herself in an unfamiliar room, but then relaxed as she remembered it wasn't a dream... she had truly left that apartment and Roger behind.‘Well, today is my first day in my new life,’ she thought, smiling as she got out of bed to take a shower. Upon stepping out, she noticed the few clothes she owned, which were seriously old and worn out. She decided that if she was going to change her life, she should start with her appearance and wardrobe.With that plan in mind, sh

[It's not that.] Deborah said."Huh?" Jayden looked puzzled.[You've already done so much for me, so I'm the one who wants to invite you to dinner.]"Oh, well, in that case, I gladly accept," he said, using a flirtatious tone in his voice.[Is 8 o'clock okay for you?] Deborah asked."I'll be here punctually, neighbor," he said, winking.Just then Caroline arrived, so Jayden bid farewell to both before getting into his car and heading to work."You know, he's a handsome guy," Caroline commented, analytically eyeing Jayden.[Carrie…] Deborah complained, giving her a gentle tap on the shoulder. [You're married.]"And? Enjoying some eye candy doesn't hurt anyone. Besides, there are two 'buts' in this drama.""Two?""I love my Chris, and Mr. Eye Candy seems to care a lot about you," Caroline said.[I know... but I can't reciprocate his feelings as he wishes.] Deborah admitted."Hey, relax, even I know you'll need some time. But candidate number one has my approval," Caroline sa

Meanwhile, Roger was furious. He had a rough night and released his anger by destroying everything in his path. And, to worsen his mood, he noticed that his morning was very different from others because neither his clothes for the day nor his breakfast were as usual... realizing that maybe Deborah wasn't as useless as he thought—she was a good homemaker."Ugh... argh... why does everything have to be so complicated?" he complained, massaging his forehead after ending the call with Sophia. He truly wasn't in the mood, and hearing his beloved yell at him only made his headache worse."Um... Roger," Fabian called him nervously."What's wrong?" Roger asked."Well, I took care of that folder you gave me.""And?" he asked, raising an eyebrow."Unfortunately, it's legal, and we can't stop it or make it disappear because the lawyer she hired moved quickly, and it's already been filed.""WHAT?!" Roger exclaimed, standing up. "And how the hell did she hire such a good lawyer? I made sure

"That's amazing, son, congratulations," Isabelle said, embracing Roger. "I'll finally be a grandmother and—""That's disgusting!" Elliot interrupted. "I'll never see that crazy woman's child as my nephew.""Elliot," his mother scolded him. "Don't speak like that.""Isabelle, don't scold my son because I think the same," George said. "I won't acknowledge that child as my grandson, and Roger, start packing your things from this office.""But Dad, you can't...""George, what are you doing?""I'm fulfilling my father's will. Since this useless man can't take care of his marriage, he has no rights anymore. Not to the presidency, not to my fortune.""What?!" Roger and Isabelle complained."Darling, you can't leave your son on the street.""I think that's where he needs to be for him to act like an adult.""Are you going to leave him on the streets?" Isabelle asked, alarmed."No, the apartment he lives in is his, so he has somewhere to stay. But he can't come back to our house beca

It was a good thing that Caroline knew how to cheer up Deborah. After calming her friend down, Caroline took Deborah to a stationery store—paradise on earth for Deborah, who didn't hesitate to buy several markers and pens of different colors, notebooks, some folders, and a few other office supplies with adorable designs."You never change; you almost bought the entire store," joked Caroline as they packed the shopping bags into the car.[You’re exaggerating.] Deborah was both amused and embarrassed by her friend’s comment."Ah... if only you were like this with your clothes and accessories, we wouldn't have taken so long to put your new wardrobe together."[Don’t say that. Here you are. I got you something.] Deborah handed Caroline a paper bag with some stationery items."Thanks," Caroline said, taking the bag. "But am I right or not?"[Um... maybe.] Deborah laughed, realizing she hadn't had this much fun or bought things for herself in a long time."Well, when you get back home

[Do you have hobbies too?] Deborah asked as she returned the shopping bags on the couch before resuming her seat next to the blonde for dinner."Um... well, it's somewhat similar since I love collecting Lego figurines."[The building blocks?]"Yeah, I collect the character figurines, and Lego releases new collections every season," he said excitedly, taking out his phone to show her some photos.[You must be quite passionate about this.] Deborah signed when she saw the endless stream of photos scrolling through Jayden’s phone."Yeah, in fact, my mom used to scold me because I would spend all my allowances on that." Jayden laughed at the memory. "But thanks to these blocks, I got into construction and happily inherited the company to build real houses and not just blocks."[Of course, your family is in the building construction business.]"Yeah, sort of. Sometimes we build buildings, and other times we buy old ones and renovate them."[I see...]"Speaking of building, as a kid,

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

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
