Two weeks laterThe tension in the courtroom was palpable, almost tangible enough to be sliced with a knife. Sinjin and his attorney, Caralisa Rodriguez, stood off to the side, deep in discussion, while Eds conversed with Sande as they all awaited Judge Caldwell's entrance. Meanwhile, Kyle appeared calm and composed, confident in his victory. He knew he was the biological father of Troy and Tristan, and there was no way for the Santillans to challenge that fact.When Judge Caldwell entered the courtroom, everyone returned to their seats, and the court clerk announced, "All rise," prompting everyone to stand in respect for the judge. After she took her seat, the courtroom settled down as the proceedings began.This second hearing was even more crucial than the first, as it would decide whether Kyle would be granted joint custody. Although Kyle was confident the judge would rule in his favor based on the previous hearing, he hoped to secure enough visitation time to make it feel as if

After completing her nightly routine, Eds gazed at her reflection in the mirror. Her face glowed, not from the expensive body lotions she applied, but from the overwhelming happiness that made her feel like she could burst with joy. She had no idea what the future held, but at that moment, she was glad she'd taken a leap of faith and married Sinjin. He brought joy not only to her but also to the boys, and she prayed that this happiness would last. But if life, fate, or anything else tried to disrupt it, she was prepared to face it head-on. Sinjin had reminded her a few weeks ago that their happiness might not last forever, but when hard times came, they’d have to hold on to the memories of the good times to find their way back to each other.She took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, smoothed her silk robe, and stepped out of the bathroom. Sinjin was in bed, on the phone with someone while his laptop rested on his lap. She crossed the room to the sliding glass door, pulled it open, but

Kyle shut the door behind the psychologist and leaned against it, releasing a sigh of relief. He then walked into the living room, quietly settling on the sofa across from his sons. For several minutes, he remained silent.As he looked at them, he couldn't help but notice how little they resembled him. They had Eds' eyes, her delicate button nose, and her striking jet-black hair. If they let their hair grow longer, they could almost be mistaken for girls. His sons weren’t just handsome; they were truly beautiful. He felt grateful to finally be part of their lives.He wanted to ask them about their session with the psychologist but hesitated. Something told him they wouldn't appreciate the question, so he held back, choosing instead to trust that whatever was said had been positive about their new situation."So, um... is there anything you'd like to eat?" Kyle asked them, hesitantly."We've already eaten," Troy replied.Kyle raised an eyebrow. "What did you have?""Food," Tristan said

"Adella, there's something I've been meaning to ask you," Sinjin called out as she turned to leave his office. She spun around, curious. "Yes, sir? You can ask me anything."Sinjin hesitated for a moment before continuing. "Your outfits... over the past few weeks," he started, searching for the right words, "have been, well... inappropriate, to say the least. Is there someone here you're trying to impress?"Adella felt her pulse quicken. So he had noticed. She'd been waiting for this moment, though she was careful to hide her satisfaction. "No, sir," she replied, her voice steady despite the lie. "I'm not trying to impress anyone."Sinjin raised an eyebrow skeptically. "Really? Then why the skimpy clothing?"Adella glanced down, suddenly self-conscious of her short skirt and the extra buttons on her blouse that she'd undone before entering his office. "Skimpy?" she repeated in a tiny voice, her face warming with embarrassment."Yes," Sinjin confirmed with a sigh. "I've tried not to

"Blaine Piers? The actor who owns 300 hectares of land at Twin Oaks Ranch in Sequoia Springs?" Adella asked, her eyes widening in shock."That's the one," Sinjin confirmed. "He doesn't want the ranch interfering with his celebrity lifestyle. I've heard he's been trying to sell it, but no one's been interested.""Are you planning to become a rancher?" Adella asked, surprised. "Sequoia Springs is three hundred miles from Elderstone.""I hear livestock farming can be a lucrative business," Sinjin remarked. "How do you think Blaine Piers Sr. made his fortune?""Um... I'll call his assistant and ask," Adella said, quickly typing it into her iPad. "Is there anything else, sir?""Ah, you're free to leave by six. I’m going on a date with my wife—she's picking me up," Sinjin said with a grin."Alright, sir," Adella nodded before turning and walking out of the office.~~~~~~At five-thirty, Sinjin's meeting with the executives of Mega Mind Studios, the parent company of Midas Corporation, was d
