It's as if nothing transpired last night. Ivan awoke with a radiant smile, choosing to skip going to his office and instructing his secretary to deliver the papers he needed for signing instead.Later on, we find ourselves seated in the garden. I'm engrossed in a book while he focuses on his work, opting not to discuss the events of last night.Furthermore, he's making plans for us to take a vacation next weekend. He mentioned that we'd depart on Friday evening and return on Sunday night. He had already informed his parents, and their response was simply encouragement for us to have a baby.Earlier, after breakfast, my mother-in-law approached me discreetly. She had learned about what happened at the bar the previous night, and I confided in her about Maureen's actions, detailing everything from the office to the bar."I'm worried, Mom. How many days from now do you think Ivan's memory will come back?""Don't fret, my dear. You are his wife. Even if his memory returns, I'm confident i

I was uncertain about the time Ivan arrived home, as I had retreated upstairs to my room after a conversation with my mother-in-law, attempting to find solace in sleep. I was determined not to dwell on my worries and shed tears.My husband's warm embrace enveloped me, and he softly murmured something, but my extreme exhaustion left me unable to comprehend his words. The next morning, I awoke before Ivan, showered, and descended to the kitchen to assist with breakfast preparations.My in-laws, Mom and Dad, were already up, sipping their morning coffee and reading the newspaper."We didn't sleep well last night, your mom and I..."I looked at my father-in-law while I was cutting vegetables. I'm the one who makes salad for my sister's breakfast. "Why is that, Dad?""We were concerned about you, dear..."My emotions welled up, biting my lip. If it weren't for this loving couple who had taken me in, I couldn't fathom where I might be today. I am grateful that my parents have a compassionat

I compelled myself to leave the restaurant, despite feeling immensely frail because of the intense trembling of my body. As I stepped into the car, I discreetly wiped away my tears before addressing the driver, who remained silent."Let's go.""To the airport, Ma'am?""Just drive, please..."Stay composed, Myla. Focus. Focus.It took five minutes before I resolved to call my friend, and there was a delay before she picked up the call."Oh, friend..."I discreetly cleared my throat and inhaled deeply.She let out a sigh. Even though I hadn't uttered a word, it was as if she had an uncanny understanding. That's just the way she is, and it reaffirms my belief in her genuine affection, a true friend."I won't reprimand you. If you've made your decision, I'll come to pick you up. I'll send you the other details via text."She hung up the call."Driver, please pull over to the side.""Pardon?" The driver was taken aback and didn't immediately comply with my request."Kindly pull over, pleas

The morning is approaching, and baby Heather is just about to go to sleep. I yawned and slowly got out of bed, taming my tousled locks before making my way to the kitchen for a comforting cup of coffee.I'll dedicate three hours to my tasks before I can finally rest. Later, I might secure an additional two to four hours of sleep before my daughter wakes up. I never realized how challenging it is, a true struggle, but it's something I have to endure. How can I discover a companion for this odyssey?Tsss! There you go again, Myla."Good morning..." Rachelle and I stepped into the kitchen simultaneously. She had her laptop in hand."Good morning! Is the princess still asleep?""Yup..." I massaged my shoulder, which was sore from carrying Heather's weight all night.I couldn't help but smile. Time flies by, so I need to savor these moments while she's still a baby. Before I know it, she'll be walking, running, and refusing to be carried.Even though I'm really tired and need more rest, I'

"Yes..." I hesitated. "This is H-Heather's mom...""She's with us." The man on the other line provided his address.I might not have grasped the situation fully, but I recognized it as the address of Ivan's parents. Heather was there, and I'm uncertain about how she got there.This caught me off guard. What have you done, baby?I stood up, picked up my bag, and prepared to leave."Come on, let's go see Heather." I had no choice but to face the person I didn't want to see just yet.I ponder about Heather's well-being in that place. Is Maureen accompanying her?I earnestly hope that she is providing kind care for my child. I am determined to shield my daughter from any emotional distress, and this is precisely why I was initially reluctant for them to cross paths. She does not know about what happened and is unaware that her father had another family.I booked a rental car, and within half an hour, arrived at the Greco mansion. The mansion was still the same. Nothing had changed, just l

The following morning, before indulging in a refreshing shower, I gathered Heather's clothes and discreetly tucked them into my bag. While delicately smoothing moisturizer onto my skin, Lucinda curiously glanced through the door."Why are you dressed like that, babe?"I had on a white undershirt with a blazer over it, fitted jeans, and flat closed-toe shoes."Why? What's the issue with my outfit? I have a meeting today, so I need to appear somewhat formal.""You have even more stylish and beautifully coordinated outfits in your suitcase for formal occasions.""Tsk! Not today. We still have a few days ahead. I'll save it for another day."She proceeded to search through my suitcase."Here, take a look..." She presented the three-piece ensemble, a lacy cream undershirt, and the matching blazer and shorts."I'll wear it the day after, for my meeting with aCEO friend who runs a beauty products business.""Wear it today. You look stunning in this outfit."I shot her a meaningful glance. "

After we arrived at the rented apartment, I settled onto the sofa and gazed into the distance. I patiently awaited the delivery of the food I had ordered from Grab, a food delivery app.It was only then that I noticed Lucinda sitting next to me. She was sporting a smile as she handed me the paper bag that Ivan had given me."Why?" I inquired, crossing my arms."Open it, I'm excited.""Why don't you open it?" I suggested. I wasn't particularly eager to open it; she had been the one making all the noise earlier, and now my plan had been disrupted."Are you sure?" I didn't respond. Lucinda, unable to resist her curiosity, opened the paper bag and revealed a moderately sized jewelry box.Lucinda gasped, but my expression remained devoid of enthusiasm."A set of diamond jewelry!"It included a ring, a bracelet, a pair of earrings, and a necklace adorned with numerous precious stones. This set was worth millions. Why had Ivan given such costly jewelry to me?Tsss!"It's beautiful! You shoul

"Do you still feel like eating?" Ivan turned to me, while I shifted my gaze to Heather."I'm sleepy already, Daddy...""Alright, let's head home." Ivan lifted his daughter when he noticed her eyes welling up from a repeated yawn.She seemed genuinely exhausted. Fortunately, the Greco mansion was conveniently close to the mall we were at.Upon our arrival, Heather struggled to keep her eyes open. Though her grandparents welcomed her with affectionate kisses, she found it challenging to articulate her words to them.I accompanied Ivan as we guided Heather to his room, gently encouraging Lucinda with a subtle pinch when she hesitated to join us."Why am I included? I'm not part of the family..." she whispered as she ascended the stairs with me. Teasingly, she added, "Are you afraid of being alone with Ivan?"I shot her a glare. She grinned and playfully gazed back at me.Heather requested my help with freshening up. I swiftly attended to it as she was feeling very drowsy."Mommy, sleep h

"I'm sorry..." I turned away, but Ivan blocked my path. I could see the pain in his eyes, so I quickly avoided mine."We're heading home. What are you doing, Ivan?!" I was irritated, but I forced myself to stay calm because I was carrying Heather.Heather was crying loudly, and tears began to well up in my eyes. It's okay if I get hurt, but if my daughter gets hurt, that's a completely different situation.My intuition was correct; it wasn't a good idea for my daughter to meet Ivan because Heather was still too young.It was frustrating! I felt disoriented, but I hesitated to inquire, avoided listening, and refrained from re-entering his life. However, we share a child."Ivan, let her go. She left you before. We're doing fine, aren't we?"My teeth were clenched, but I disregarded Maureen.I was boiling with anger, yet I kept my composure to spare Heather from any more suffering. Stepping forward, Ivan enveloped both of us in an incredibly tight embrace."Please, don't go. Let's talk,"

Fortunately, Lucinda managed to book a rental car. The driver had been waiting on the side since earlier, allowing us to leave promptly after I turned my back on Ivan, who remained frozen in place.I held Heather close as we traveled. Though I truly wanted to cry, I couldn't afford to appear weak in front of her."Mommy, I'm sorry..." Her voice trembled, and she began crying once more."You're not at fault, baby," I responded gently while stroking her hair."If only I hadn't followed Daddy. If only I hadn't introduced myself to Grandpa. If only I hadn't said I'm his child... You wouldn't be crying, Mommy. I'm sorry, Mommy."It seemed as if a tender warmth lovingly embraced my heart in reaction to my daughter's words. I count myself exceedingly fortunate to be blessed with such a bright and compassionate child."You're destined to meet your dad. He loves you..." I felt the warmth of his happiness and love for our child, yet amidst it all, a persistent sense of disorder lingered.His wo
