Emily Evelyn's unwavering support has been invaluable during this challenging time, keeping me grounded as I cope with the immense grief of losing my mother. Despite feeling overwhelmed, I managed to organize my mother's burial surprisingly quickly. It's like a part of me is operating automatically, driven to finish these painful responsibilities. I feel Evelyn's curiosity about Bronn's noticeable absence, but she's chosen to be the supportive friend I need right now, setting aside her worries. Mr. Thompson sent a message asking where I was, showing his concern for me. Evelyn was the one who responded, saying I was in Los Angeles, lifeless in my grief. It took us two more days to finally hold my mother's wake, and Evelyn was with me throughout the entire ordeal. "Would you like to stay with me for now?" Evelyn asked as I took her to a hotel. I nodded. The idea of returning to the empty villa, with its echoing halls and memories, was unbearable. I needed company, and being alone

Sarah Emily was busy with her daughter, so I had no choice but to attend some gatherings that required my presence; they were important events for keeping my social and business connections strong. Philip returned to the Luminary Production's office to handle pressing issues, and everything seems to be going well, except for Jane, who is still on vacation. As I was leaving Serenity Pines, I chose Josh to accompany me to the Elite Annual Business Gala. I hadn't spoken to him for quite some time because Philip had been keeping an eye on me at the villa. The truth is, Josh and I have nothing to hide, but I feel like a wife keeping a secret with her lover. Josh's life is complicated, and it's not my place to disclose his background to everyone. "I heard that Jane is still in recovery," Josh started, his eyes fixed on the winding road ahead, hands steady on the steering wheel, driving me to a hotel in a nearby town. "Yeah… she enrolled in therapy and counseling. I hope everything work

Sarah Exasperated with Philip, I asked him to leave the room. Once alone, I tried to calm myself, still frustrated by his behavior. That annoying and utter jerk! Tss! Exhaustion took over, replacing my anger. I quickly cleaned up and took a brief bath. Finally, I collapsed onto the bed, letting sleep take over and wash away the night's turmoil. Sunlight filtered through the curtains as I stirred the next morning. Reading my unread messages, I found messages from Amir and, unexpectedly, my father—the illustrious Chairman Benner. As I made my way downstairs, I chose to address Amir's message first. Amir: Margarette might have questioned why you're not flaunting your social status. After living in Benner’s mansion for years, people might even mistake Lila for Dad’s daughter. They had the nerve to use your name! I replied: I'm not afraid of them. In fact, I plan to let them enjoy using my name for now. Let them feel the overwhelming attention of the public and influential figures,

Sarah [A week after my conversation with Dad.] Philip had asked me to limit my outings outside Serenity Pines Estate, citing concerns for my safety and well-being. I agreed to his suggestion, understanding his protective instincts, but I had some important business engagements to attend too. Fortunately, my pregnancy wasn't showing yet, allowing me to seamlessly manage the big event for LoveLogic. Emily and I sat at the very edge of the large event hall, where the event was broadcast live on our social media platform, which the BM Technologies marketing team still manages. "Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to meet our newest VIP character!" the charismatic host announces, her voice echoing through the hall. "We proudly introduce... Bronn!" The main screen lights up, revealing an animated non-player character clearly inspired by Bronn Martin, the young head chief of BM Technologies. The host, smiling excitedly, started listing Bronn's features. "And the best part? When you upda

Sarah Due to the growing team and the need for more space, an office was rented near Luminary Production's building. With my team expanding, this move was essential. Along with Emily, Amir provided me with two more assistants: Sophia, a sharp-witted woman in her early thirties with a background in marketing, and Mike, a finance expert around my age. None of my staff knows that I'm pregnant. I'd managed to keep it a secret within the people in Serenity Pines, even from Emily. After discussing some business matters, I decided to ask Emily about her relationship with Bronn. "I have a meeting with Bronn this afternoon to discuss some details about the LoveLogic app," I informed Emily as she sipped her coffee while I nursed a glass of calcium-rich milk, a new addition to my routine. Mentioning Bronn, I noticed a look of sadness in Emily's eyes. "Did something happen between the two of you?" I asked curiously. "I saw Mr. Martin at the hospital when I took Willow for a check-up. He
