Early in the morning, Alessia took Veronica to the hospital.

Veronica had been running a slight fever all night, showing no signs of improvement even after Alessia gave her some over-the-counter antipyretics.

At the hospital lobby, they heard someone calling, ‘Alessia!’

Turning around, Alessia spotted Brayden Scott.

He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes but looked thinner and a little gaunt.

‘Brayden?’ Veronica was equally shocked and felt a pang of disgust at the sight of him.

Alessia shook her head. ‘I don’t know.’

Brayden strode towards the two sisters.

Looking at Alessia, his deep eyes flashed with a trace of affection.

They hadn’t seen each other for weeks, and Brayden felt Alessia had become even more beautiful.

She was dressed in a simple white lace blouse with ruffles on her sleeves, giving her a cute appearance.

Her hair was tied up in a ponytail, making her look neat and young, revealing her slender neck and fair skin.

Red lips bright and plump, she stood out in the cro

    Alessia shuddered at the sight of Connie’s sinister smile.An impossible thought suddenly occurred to her.She grasped Connie’s wrist. ‘D-did you hurt him?’Connie just kept smiling.Alessia grabbed her shoulders and shook them hard. ‘Tell me, did you have something to do with my baby’s death?’‘You’ll never know,’ Connie said.Then she threw her head back and laughed.The maniacal laughter made Alessia shiver.That was when she confirmed Connie had really gone insane.The next instant, Connie lunged forward, going for Alessia’s throat. ‘I’m going to kill you!’‘Connie!’ Brayden threw himself in front of Alessia and grunted in pain as Connie elbowed him in the stomach.Veronica yanked Alessia back, out of harm’s range. ‘Brayden, she belongs to a mental institution!’‘I know,’ Brayden wheezed out.The cameras were now trained on Connie as she screeched and clawed at Brayden.‘I’m sorry.’ Brayden subdued a struggling Connie. ‘I’ll get her out of here.’***Throughout the rest of the day

    ‘What baby?’ Brayden looked away.‘You know what baby I’m talking about.’ Alessia sat up straight. ‘Brayden, look at me.’He turned to face her.‘You were at the hospital the day I gave birth.’ Alessia ignored the ache in her heart and plunged into the dark memory. ‘Doctors gave me anaesthesia. When I woke up, I had Milo with me. Connie told me the other baby was stillborn and the body was taken away by the doctors.’Brayden swallowed. ‘That’s right.’‘Did you see it?’‘See what?’‘The…baby’s body.’Brayden pressed his knees together. ‘No. It was Connie who took care of everything. I wasn’t allowed inside the delivery room. I don’t know anything.’‘Really?’‘Really?’ Brayden nodded as if to emphasise his point. ‘All I know is what Connie told me, which must be the same as what she told you.’Alessia pressed, ‘What about the body? What did the doctors do with it?’Brayden shrugged a shoulder. ‘I don’t know. I suppose there are standard protocols for things like that.’‘Connie told me s

    After getting over the shock that Arlie was Logan’s biological son, Heath suggested maybe Sirena was the mother.But Logan ruled it out, since Arlie was born several months after Sirena passed away and she’d left the country long before that, anyway.Heath asked if Logan ever used the services of a sperm bank.Logan said no.Heath asked if Logan had ever slept with someone without using condoms.Logan said no, except for that time with Alessia.And then they ran out of ideas.The most likely scenario remained that Logan had slept with someone, possibly someone he didn’t remember, and the woman later either abandoned the baby or sold it off.Heath promised to look into it.Logan cursed inwardly.Heath was painting him out to be a Lothario.How could he not remember sleeping with someone?The night with Alessia was an exception, as he was drugged.But apart from Heath’s theory of a one-night stand with a mystery woman, Logan couldn’t come up with a logical explanation for Arlie’s existe

    ‘What happened?’ Alessia felt puzzled at Milo’s actions.Just then, Logan came out of the house, and she noticed that his eyes were filled with concern.When he saw her, guilt flashed in his eyes.‘Alessia,’ he said hoarsely.‘What’s wrong with Milo?’ Alessia asked him.Logan paused.He opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out.He only stood there, staring into her eyes dejectedly.Alessia looked down at Milo.‘Mommy, it’s alright,’ he murmured. ‘Nothing happened. I just want to go home. I only want to be with you today.’When Logan heard his words, he breathed a sigh of relief.Alessia looked at him. ‘I’m taking Milo home.’Logan nodded. ‘I’ll call you later.’‘No, you won’t!’ Milo suddenly shouted.Alessia was stunned.She didn’t expect the boy to be so hostile towards Logan.Logan was just as surprised.‘Maybe that’s not a good idea.’ Alessia held Milo’s hand and left.As Alex drove the both of them away, Alessia looked out of the window and saw Logan staring after

    Connie was yelling so loudly that Logan caught part of her side of the conversation. ‘…I should’ve taken both of the twins!’Alessia’s blood ran cold. ‘You took my baby. To where? Where did you take my son off to? Connie, answer me!’Connie cackled with laughter. ‘That’s right. I did it on purpose! Do you know why I only took one? I left you with the other, so you’d continue to live in misery. If I had taken everything away from you, you would’ve ended your life then and there. Which is what I should’ve done! Then you wouldn’t have come back to Veridian and snatched Brayden away from me! He’s going to leave me, you b*tch. I—’‘Connie!’ Alessia’s voice shook. ‘Where did you take my baby?’‘How the hell should I know? I just handed the little brat to a friend of mine. He had connections with a trafficking ring. Probably sold the little brat to a paedophile, ha!’‘You monster!’ Alessia was trembling so hard, the phone almost fell off from her hand.Logan came to sit next to her, holding

    Logan came over to the bed. ‘Arlie, I-I…’Alessia threw her arms around the boy. ‘Arlie, I’m not Miss Jansen. I’m your mother. I’m your mother!’Arlie’s mouth hung open.He looked at Logan questioningly.Logan nodded.Arlie was still in shock, unsure of how to react.He wondered if he had misheard Alessia, or if he was having a lucid dream.How could this be possible?‘Arlie.’ Alessia hugged him tightly as if afraid he’d vanish. ‘My son, I’m sorry I let you down. I made a mistake five years ago and lost you. You and Milo are twins.’‘What?’‘It’s true, Arlie,’ Logan said.He took over the job of explaining since Alessia was too emotional to do so. ‘Alessia gave birth to you and Milo five years ago, but bad people took you away. They sold you off to a trafficking ring. Uncle Heath was part of the task force that busted the ring and rescued you. He brought you to my house, and you know the rest of the story. I only found out you are my son earlier today, when I received the DNA report.’

    Logan, standing by the door, shrugged.What could he say?Milo was his son, it was only natural that he took after his old man in both looks and temperament.Arlie beamed at his brother. ‘Dad said that we’re not going to school tomorrow. We’re going to celebrate.’‘Celebrate?’ Milo snorted. ‘Why don’t we celebrate after we deal with the bad guys? Those two monsters took my brother away so easily and even lied to Mommy, making her believe Arlie was dead all these years.’Milo turned to look at Logan pointedly. ‘Aren’t you going to do something about it?’Logan knew he was referring to Connie and Brayden.He immediately replied, ‘Of course, I won’t let them go like this. I’ll make sure that they get what they deserve.’It might not be easy to convict Brayden, but Alessia had a recording of her phone conversation with Connie, who could be charged with human trafficking.Logan made a note to call Heath later.‘Why don’t you call him now?’ Milo demanded. ‘What if they run off before the po

    The chair toppled over.Connie fell backwards, hitting the floor with a thud.The police officers guarding the door came in and checked on her. ‘She passed out.’Alessia left the room with Logan.She held up her phone. ‘Do you think the recording can be used as evidence?’‘That’s up to the court to decide. I’ll give a copy of it to Heath.’Logan thanked Heath, then drove off with Alessia.She was quiet.‘How are you feeling?’ Logan glanced at her.‘I don’t know.’ Alessia scrubbed her face with both hands. ‘It’s a lot to take in.’‘Do you believe her?’‘About my parents? I don’t know. But I guess it makes sense—why she hates me and Veronica so much. But she shouldn’t have hurt my baby.’She turned to Logan. ‘Do you think the court will convict her? I mean, given the state she’s in.’‘If she’s sane, she’ll be put behind bars. If she’s not, she’ll be locked up in a psych ward. Either way, she’s going to be put away for a long time. And Brayden will be there to keep her company.’Alessia

    The city lights shimmered through the window, casting a soft glow over Alessia’s hotel room.She sank into the plush armchair, exhaling a weariness that settled deep into her bones.The day had been a whirlwind of interviews and deadlines, leaving her both physically and mentally drained.With a flick of her wrist, she loosened the tight bun that held her long hair, letting it cascade down her shoulders in unruly waves.The laptop on the polished mahogany table beckoned, a testament to the professional demands that consumed her day.Alessia leaned forward, fingers dancing across the keys as she organized her interview notes, a meticulous symphony of clicks and clacks.She paused, her gaze shifting to the phone by her side.Two missed calls from an unknown number flashed on the screen, and her heart skipped a beat.For a moment, hope surged through her—perhaps it was Logan.But as she listened to the voicemail, disappointment settled in.It was merely a wrong number, a mundane interrup

    With the briefcase in hand, Logan left the office and got in his car.He did not involve Terence; the meeting could be dangerous.Besides, he had backup.Logan raced through the city streets, weaving through traffic with a desperate determination.The clock was ticking, and the warehouse loomed ahead like a dark, ominous secret.As he approached the entrance, the flickering neon lights buzzed overhead, casting eerie shadows on the crumbling walls.Logan stepped into the darkness, the echoes of his footsteps the only sound in the desolate space.A figure emerged from the shadows, wearing a hooded jacket to conceal their identity.Logan’s pulse quickened, his senses on high alert.‘I brought the money, now show me Sirena,’ he demanded, his voice steady but edged with a simmering rage.The figure chuckled, the sound echoing eerily through the cavernous space. ‘Impatient, aren’t we?’He pulled out a phone from his pocket.With a swift motion, he tapped the screen, and a small screen on th

    Logan’s office at Wilde Enterprises was a haven of order in contrast to the chaos unravelling in his personal life.The sterile hum of fluorescent lights bathed the room as he sifted through paperwork, attempting to find solace in the routine of his professional responsibilities.His phone buzzed, the screen lighting up with Heath’s name.Logan’s heart skipped a beat as he answered the call, the outside world fading away as he focused on the voice at the other end.‘Heath,’ Logan greeted, his tone carrying the weight of worry.‘We found her,’ Heath’s voice crackled through the phone. ‘She was at the BuzzBeat office. Got into a bit of a scuffle with Alessia.’Logan’s temples throbbed in response, the news striking him like a physical blow. ‘Alessia? Is she okay?’There was a pause on the line, and Logan could almost feel the hesitation in Heath’s response. ‘According to the colleague who filed the police report, she’s got a couple of scratches, but otherwise, she’s fine.’Relief washed

    The room was cloaked in a muted glow from the bedside lamp, casting a warm light on the framed photographs that adorned the walls.Sirena moved silently, her eyes scanning each corner of her parents’ room as she began the meticulous search for anything of value.Ralph was still in intensive care, which meant Naomi wouldn’t leave his side, giving Sirena the time she needed for a thorough search.Her fingers brushed against the cool surface of a polished wooden dresser, adorned with small trinkets that echoed the laughter of her childhood.A porcelain figurine, a relic from a family vacation, stood alongside a faded picture of her parents and a much younger Sirena.The memories were bittersweet, a reminder of the life she had left behind.As Sirena opened drawers with deliberate care, the soft rustling of papers mixed with the creak of aged furniture.In one drawer, she found a stack of handwritten letters tied together with a ribbon.Memories of birthday wishes, expressions of love, an

    The Veridian airport bustled with a kinetic energy that only a major transport hub could exude.Travellers weaved through the expansive terminal, navigating a sea of bustling crowds and rolling luggage.The air hummed with the constant murmur of announcements, the clatter of footsteps, and the intermittent symphony of departure gates chiming to life.Alessia, her eyes scanning the digital departure board, stood amidst the organized chaos.The Veridian airport, a sprawling architectural marvel, boasted high ceilings adorned with sleek modern designs.Concourse shops beckoned with an array of luxury goods, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air from the bustling cafes.It had been a long time since she flew—juggling a job and raising two kids hadn’t left a lot of time for the luxury of flying.‘Hey, I thought that was you.’ Someone tapped her on the shoulder.Alessia, startled, turned around to find Vince, a smile playing on his lips.‘Vince, what are you doing he

    Naomi scoffed, bitterness lacing her tone. ‘Make things right? Can you bring back the peace we had before you barged in with your promises and complications?’Logan shook his head. ‘I can’t change the past, Naomi, but I can help with the present. Let me take care of Ralph’s medical bills. It’s the least I can do.’Her expression hardened, and she retorted, ‘Money won’t fix the damage you’ve caused. Sirena is missing, Ralph’s heart is failing, and our lives are in shambles. Don’t pretend you can fix it with a cheque.’Her words were still ringing in his head hours later.Logan stood on the roof, smoking, lost in thought, until his phone rang with an urgency that cut through the air like a serrated blade.He glanced at the caller ID, and a sinking feeling gripped his stomach as he answered.‘Logan, what the hell is going on?’ Albert’s voice, usually a bastion of calm, resonated with a furious edge. ‘Alessia called me, all cold and distant, calling me Mr Wilde instead of Grandpa.

    ‘Ralph! Naomi, call an ambulance!’ Logan’s urgency cut through the stunned silence, and Naomi, her face pale with shock, fumbled for her phone.Panic swirled in the room as Ralph clutched his chest, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.He toppled backwards.‘Ralph!’ Logan caught the old man in time.Within moments, the wail of an ambulance echoed through the quiet neighbourhood.Naomi and Logan hurriedly helped Ralph onto a stretcher, his face strained with agony.The ambulance doors slammed shut, trapping the trio in a suffocating bubble of uncertainty.The ambulance tore through the city’s arteries, its siren piercing.Inside, the confined space thrummed with urgency.Naomi clung to the edge of her seat, her eyes unblinking as she watched the paramedics work on her husband.Ralph lay supine on the stretcher—his heart just stopped.The heart monitor emitted a relentless warning beep.Naomi’s hands trembled as she tried to steady herself, the medical jargon exchanged by the paramed

    Naomi stirred the simmering chicken soup, the aroma filling the kitchen with warmth.She glanced at Ralph, who was grabbing his keys.‘Ready to head to the hospital?’ he asked.‘Absolutely,’ Naomi replied, wiping her hands on her apron. ‘Hand me the thermos.’They were only allowed to visit Sirena once each day, the visit lasting no longer than half an hour.The doctor explained that the restricted visits were important to establish routine in Sirena’s life.As they prepared to leave, they heard a knock on the door.Surprised, they exchanged a puzzled glance before opening the door.Standing on their doorstep was Logan. ‘Can we talk?’Naomi and Ralph exchanged a wary look but nodded, allowing him inside.Logan took a deep breath, eyeing them both. ‘I’m sure you know why I’m here. I need Sirena to sign those divorce papers.’It had been almost three days since Sirena’s hospitalisation, and Logan had waited long enough.Naomi’s lips trembled. ‘Logan, we can’t believe you’ve moved on so
