William was holding her in his arms while reading a contract when Rosaline woke up in the morning.It looked like the same contract he had been reading the night before.“What is this? You seem to be reading this repeatedly.” Rosaline asked with her eyes still closed as she snuggled closer to him.“This came from Scott Group, a co-operation of sorts with, I believe, the intent to merge later on. Very beneficial to AR Group. Read it after breakfast.” William surmised.“And you are conflicted,” Rosaline asked. Even with her eyes closed and sleep lingering on her head, she could tell his emotions.“Hmm. I would not be if I didn’t know Daniel was my biological father. All the points are in our favor. But.” William confided in her. “Then call him. Ask him if he is available on the weekend. Visit them. They are your biological parents, after all. And explain in person that you are not ready yet.”“You will think about cooperation and merger after AR Group goes public.”“Trust me! He won’t

Anthony was surprised to hear Asteria’s words.Liam had only told them he got a post-grad degree. He had also never mentioned his freelancing work.But he was not surprised for long.Liam had always had a high IQ and was laser-focused.He had been disappointed to see Liam had no interest in the Army. Otherwise, he would have made a valuable asset. Asteria continued - I had a crush on him, but he treated me like air, even though I was Danial Scott’s daughter. Then, mom told me he might pay attention to me if I became successful in his related field.She said a decent person would like me for me and not for my family’s money or connections. I went to study Interior Design to match careers.It was difficult, but I completed grad school and post-grad in 5 years.By then, he was working in his own company.I asked Dad to help me get in, but he refused. Later I got an offer to be his assistant.At that time, I had no idea that Dad had made a deal with him in exchange for information on R

They had a lively dinner while sharing tidbits about both families.Danial and Isabella both wanted to meet Anthony.William arranged a video call between them where they both planned to meet soon and swapped contacts. In the study, William finally broached the subject of his visit.“I am sorry, father. It’s not the right time for me to cooperate with you. I would have jumped the gun at the generous offer without loopholes. But now, even with a fair contract, I would rather not. At least not now.”Danial had expected it, but he still felt a little sad.“What do you have in mind?” He finally asked.“AR group has a lot of projects in the pipeline. After our major project in Apex city, we will most likely go public. After that, we can collaborate.” William reasoned.Danial pondered for a while and thought it was indeed a good idea. “How long do you think it will take?” “Five years at most if nothing goes wrong,” William said.Danial was not very happy with the timeline, “You will need

The next few months passed uneventfully. Eliyana canceled all her plans and stayed rooted in Apex city to ensure Rosaline and William would not get married. The couple continued to live together, and nothing changed in the status quo.But the stalemate with her grandmother was beginning to get to Rosaline.William noticed that Rosaline would often get lost in thought. When interrupted, she would always talk about food.One day he pulled her in his lap and asked directly.“Baby, you have been absent-minded the entire week. You completely messed up two of your meetings. You would have gotten kicked off your foundation if not for Tessa. What’s wrong?”Rosaline sighed as she leaned into him.“Grandma went for a check-up last week. Her blood pressure is still high. Mom told me she is being irritable and paranoid.”“I can’t help feeling I am the cause of all that.”“I promised I wouldn’t marry you until she agrees. I think she took it as I would marry you after she died. Like I am waiting

Rosaline and William went to test their DNAs. They gave their hair samples in 3 different centers just to be on the safe side.The plan was to take the results to a doctor for consultation. All they had to do was wait for three days. William tried his best to cheer her up and keep her mind off the DNS tests those three days.When everything failed, he screwed her on every surface in the penthouse.Even the kitchen island - they had both previously deemed as unhygienic - was christened. She slept most of the time.Being in no mood to work, she had taken the days off, continuing her charade of being sick.Finally, the day arrived, and all three tests showed the same result - 0% DNA match.That meant that they could have kids without any issues. However, they both intuitively felt that something was wrong. “You have a confirmed Father and Son relationship with Daniel Scott.” She started.“So, either Isabella is not my mother or someone somewhere in your or Isabella’s backstory is no
