"What?" The priest was shocked by Kyle's response. "You're her fiancé?"The murmurings escalated as the audience began talking over each other, watching the scene with wide, shocked eyes. Sinjin's fiancée had another man claiming to be her fiancé, and she wanted to marry the billionaire? At that moment, they realized why Sinjin's mother had objected to the union. Judging from Sinjin's perplexed expression, he wasn't aware she was two-timing him.The stranger walked confidently down the aisle to the altar, dropping his duffle on the ground beside him as he gazed lovingly at Eds."You're even more beautiful than I remember," he said."Edselyn ... Are you alright?" Sinjin asked her, ignoring Kyle."I'm sorry," she rasped, struggling out of his hold and fleeing from the church."Eds!" Sande called, running after her with the skirt of her gown raised to keep her from tripping."I'm her fiancé," Kyle declared, eyeing Sinjin over. "I'm here to take back what's mine."Sinjin didn't spare Kyl

Two days later Feeling suffocated in his apartment, Sinjin went for a run to clear his head. On his way back, he was ambushed by reporters waiting outside the building. Taking a deep breath to calm down as they swarmed him, he decided to get it over with. Eds was scared to leave her apartment, and he didn't want that kind of lifestyle for her. It was better for him to be interviewed by reporters than for her. He was used to them; she wasn't."How do you feel about your fiancée's unfaithfulness?" one reporter inquired."Excuse me?" Sinjin's face hardened as he turned to face the reporter who had asked the question. "What did you just say?""How do you feel about your fiancée's unfaithfulness? Your mother objected to the union because she knew the truth. What do you have to say about that?" the reporter demanded."What's your name?" Sinjin inquired."George Bernard, sir.""Where do you work?""Um... why do you want to know?" George asked warily."I want to congratulate your boss for h

Before noon that day, Eds' chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip muffins, red velvet cupcakes, coffee cakes, cheesecakes, apple pies, chocolate-covered donuts, jam donuts, croissants, shortbreads, a one-layered rainbow cake, and plenty of coffee had all been sold. She had a steady stream of customers coming in and out of her shop all day, so she didn't even bother with lunch. Sinjin had set up an easy-to-understand bookkeeping system for her. After the rush hour, she settled down in front of the computer in the staff lounge to check the sales because she couldn't help herself. When she saw how much they'd made that morning, she let out a loud gasp."It can't be," she muttered, staring at the computer screen. Sinjin had installed his company's bookkeeping software on the computers both upstairs and downstairs, so all she needed to do was input the transactions she had made today, and the software would do the rest. To her, it was a supercomputer that calculated taxes, expenses, inco

"Mom, Dad," Tristan called from his spot on the wingback chair in the family room, where they were watching an animated film just after dinner."Yes, son?" Sinjin turned his gaze away from the TV to look at Tristan. Eds had her legs on his lap and her head on a throw pillow, facing Tristan."Troy and I have talked about this, but we want answers from you," Tristan said."Is it something serious?" Eds inquired."Yes, Mom," Troy replied, nodding."What is it?" Sinjin asked."You and Mom are married now, and she has your surname. So what about us?" Tristan questioned, frowning. "Don't you want us to bear your name?"Sinjin and Eds exchanged silent glances, both wondering how they would explain the situation to the boys. It would be hard for them to accept that they would never bear his name unless Kyle gave up his rights over them. Although Sinjin enjoyed tackling problems that others found stressful, he wasn’t sure he could resolve this issue involving Eds' ex-fiancé. Sometimes, there

A week after Valentine's Day, after much contemplation on how to deal with Kyle, Sinjin decided to pay him a visit. He didn't inform Eds of his plan, knowing she would talk him out of it, but he hoped it wouldn't backfire. Sinjin trusted that Kyle was as greedy as his former employer had claimed, which would make everything easier for him.All he wanted was to see the bright smile light up his wife's face once again. She was good at pretending she was fine, but he knew she was worried about their sons, who were just as unhappy as she was. He had tried his best to cheer them up by buying drones, which they loved, but that happiness had lasted only for a short time.Sinjin owned many residential properties in Merendra, and by a twist of fate, Kyle happened to be a tenant in his ten-story apartment building on Greenbriar Avenue. The building, known as The Grandview, had originally been a failing hotel. The owner had approached Sinjin with the intent to sell, and Sinjin had bought it for
