Jeri stood at the entrance of the old clock tower, her heart racing with anticipation and fear. She had no idea what to expect, but she was determined to find Dr. Emiliano, hoping to find her mother as well after this.Her guards escorted her until she found herself standing at the entrance. Jeri's allies stopped at a distance, waiting for a signal if anything happened during the meeting. As Jeri stepped inside, two men dressed in suits stepped forward and stopped her from taking any step further.Without saying a word, one of the men extended his hand, gesturing for Jeri to handover everything that she came with. Jeri rolled her eyes without uttering a word as well. She handed her purse to them but didn't give out her phone.“You can't go with that, madam," one of the men said, pointing at her phone.“Why?" She asked, her brows furrowed.“It's an order from our boss. So please give it to us," the young replied, his hand stretched out.She handed the phone to them, her eyes narrowe

Now, Jeri, Aysel, Freya, and Sophia found themselves in Darien's office, ready to confront him.They all stood before him, their arms folded above their chest as though they were there to fight him.“If I may ask, what's all this drama about?" Darien inquired, his gaze skeptical as he sat on his executive office chair, his hands resting on the office table.“Darien,” Freya responded after exchanging glances with the other three ladies. “ We are here to address some issues that need to be tackled before they get worse.”"You are here to address an issue?” Darien frowned, as he assumed Freya had revealed to Jeri what happened between him and her mother many years ago. " What issue are you talking about? Because I can't remember telling you that I have any issues that need someone to help me out of.”"Look, Darien,” Jeri jumped into their conversation, " we are not here for some silly conversations, rather, to educate you about your mother's evil plan against you and your entire househol

“Yes sir." Jeri nodded as she sat with her legs crossed, anticipating what the old man would say.“Well," he said, “ my real name is not Dr. Emiliano but Dr. Williams Gregory.”"What?” Jeri gasped, her eyes widened in astonishment.“Yes, Jeri, that's my name," the old man explained. " However, Darien has no idea what my real name is.”"Why?" Jeri quickly asked with skepticism."Because I kept it a secret from him. Someone who knew me from a coffee shop brought Darien to me because the young man in question believed that I was in the best position to assist Darien achieve his goal. This young man, however, doesn't know that Darien was my grandson, neither does Darien know.“When they came seeking help from me, I immediately told myself that this is my grandchild because he looks so much like his father. I was expecting Darien to recognize me, as his father might have shown him the pictures of his grandfather. Unfortunately, Darien failed to recognize his grandfather.“I used the littl

“What's wrong, son?" Mrs. Lucinda asked as she sat beside her son on the couch.Darien, whose face was clouded with anger, hastily stood up, avoiding his mother's touch.“Tell me, is it true?" Darien asked, his arms folded above his chest, and his back against his mother's gaze.Mrs. Lucinda was confused as she couldn't comprehend what her son was talking about.“What exactly are you talking about, son?" Mrs. Lucinda stood up and asked with skepticism.Darien turned around and faced his mother. They locked eyes as though they were about to wrestle.Although Darien didn't believe what Jeri and the other girls were saying about his mother, he felt it best to ask his mother a few questions to be on the safer side.Again, the evidence provided by the girls triggered him to believe them a little. He wasn't ready to fully trust them as he was well aware that Jeri was determined to get back at him because of what happ

“What?" Darien gasped, his eyes shifting from the old man to his father. “ What did I just hear you call him, father?" “You heard him well, Darien," Dr. Williams cut in, causing Darien to avert his gaze away from his father to Dr. Williams.“Dr. Williams,” Darien called, still trying to comprehend what was happening. " I have been searching for you. You were nowhere to be found a few months after Jeri had left this city. I thought she came back and took you away demanding that you saved her life. I was astonished when she came to my office asking me about you. Where have you been all this while? And why is my father addressing you like that?”"How many times do you need to be told that Dr. Williams is your grandfather?” Jeri snapped."Zip your mouth, Jeri. I wasn't talking to you,” Darien countered, his brows drawn together.“What Jeri said is nothing but the truth, Darien," Dr. Williams responded, walking past Darien, his hands tucked behind him.“Huh?” Darien gasped. He curiously i
