Locking eyes with Hayley for some time, Leonardo contemplated his response. Disregarding her last taunting question, he gave her a curt nod and explained. "Her name is Ivy Hart. She's my childhood friend. I was surprised, baby, because I hadn't seen her in ages. The last time I saw her was ten years ago. A year before you and I got married."Hayley huffed dismissively, rolling her eyes. "Yeah, right." She paused, sighing heavily before asking again, voicing her curiosity. "But how, Leonardo? How did you do it? How are you even doing it? I just don't get it. Don't you think Wendy would have figured out by now that I'm not the one going viral on the internet as her long-lost daughter?" Hayley asked, her voice laden with skepticism and confusion. Chuckling boyishly, Leonardo replied with a smug smirk. "Not unless she's in this country or this city... Honestly, baby, I don't know how Massimo had done it or is doing it. But I can assure you that you won't be exposed, okay? Everything is

Family Pressure 2: Lost Cause

"Please, my son, I'd love it if you could give the lady a chance. It's just a date. One date with her. She's a nice girl from a good family, and I'm certain you'll like her. But if you don't after the date, I promise I won't bring it up again. I won't pressure you about her anymore. Please, give her a chance, Adrian." She pleaded, her voice echoing in his ears through the phone. It was the same request she had been making for weeks now, and Adrian was sick of it.He felt frustrated as he listened to his mother on the other end. The woman just wouldn't let him be or stop nagging him until she had gotten what she wanted. He couldn't understand why she was so insistent on him going on a date with the Forbes girl. His mother was so eager and determined to see him married off. It was tiring. Fed up and not in the mood to argue that somber evening, Adrian replied sedately. "Okay, mom. I've heard you." He said flatly, finally giving in to his mother's persistent wish.The next thing Adrian

Best friends

It was yet another blissful Saturday morning. Just like the other one, Hayley decided to spend some quality mother-daughter bonding time with her daughter again. The last session had been abruptly disrupted by Leonardo's unexpected appearance, leaving Hayley unsettled and Daisy hanging in the middle of the truth Hayley was about to reveal.After the incident with Leonardo the other day, Hayley became pissed and frustrated, causing her to lose interest in revealing the truth to Daisy again. The toddler, who had been engrossed in the movie she was watching, completely forgot about her mother's impending confession too. Hayley couldn't deny the sense of relief. It was also a good thing for her since the child hadn't pressed her for answers since after that day. It seemed Daisy had already grown accustomed to living without her dad, which made Hayley slightly proud.But now, Hayley felt a newfound readiness as she was finally ready to disclose to Daisy, some aspects of the truth about her

His goal

"Thanks for letting me stay, mi reina," Leonardo expressed gratefully to Hayley, moments after he had gotten settled into her home.Hayley stole a glance at him and shrugged. "Don't thank me. I had no other choice." She stated curtly before returning her attention to the second batch of pastries she was diligently glazing. Despite her nonchalant demeanor and the sassy tone she had used on him, deep down, Hayley was secretly pleased that Leonardo was there, in the kitchen with her and Daisy. She was glad he was the one she had met at the door. Her heart fluttered with a warm feeling of affection. However, as she reminisced further, her mind couldn't help but ponder about the bond Daisy had with Leonardo, recalling the father-daughter they had shared moments earlier. Daisy seemed to have taken a liking to him, despite having only met Leonardo a few months ago. Unlike Adrian, who had fought tooth and nail for two years before Daisy finally acknowledged his presence in their lives and g

Third wheel

Later that morning, after the second batch of pastries was ready, Hayley proposed they all see a movie indoors. Though she had initially set up for just her and Daisy. However, now that Leonardo was present, there would be a change of plans, which included Hayley, holding in the information she had wanted to share with Daisy about her dad.Hayley and Leonardo were seated behind Daisy in the cozy living room. While Daisy solitary occupied the small love sofa, Hayley and Leonardo shared the couch behind her. That way, they'd been whispering and engaging in a conversation, careful not to disrupt Daisy's focus on the cartoon they were all enjoying. It was only a few minutes into the movie when Hayley suddenly questioned, her curiosity getting the better of her. She had been wanting to ask Leonardo this particular question for some time now, but she hadn't been able to as they were always at work. Hence, This seemed like the perfect opportunity to ask him. Hayley thought.Without turning

Remorse

As Hayley sank into the office swivel chair that Monday morning, her mind pondered on the hurtful things she'd done to Adrian over the days. Regret and guilt seeped into her heart as she replayed the moments when she had callously dismissed Adrian's heartfelt confession. It was all her fault. But there was something she couldn't quite comprehend. And that was the reason why Adrian was suddenly pouring out his emotions to her almost every time they spoke.Before now, Adrian rarely told her the three-letter word. If anything, he had always been patient with her, reassuring her that he would wait for her, despite her countless rejections. But now, he seemed to have changed. Hayley couldn't pinpoint the reason, but she knew it deep within her. Adrian was behaving uncanny. Or could it be that he was growing tired of waiting for her? And if so, could she really blame him though? She was the selfish one, after all.Hayley let out a weary sigh as she gazed up at the ceiling, lost in her thoug

Blind date

It was still the early hours of the serene Saturday night, and the evening embraced Adrian reluctantly dressing up for his arranged date in just an hour. Frustration weighed heavily on him as he secured his watch around his wrist. After his reconciliation with Hayley, Adrian had considered canceling the date his mother had persuaded him on. But he knew he couldn't. That would be a breach of the deal he had made with his mother a week ago. And besides, he only needed to endure this one and never have to face her meddling and pressure again. That was the only advantage he held onto.Adrian was certain he'd have no interest in the lady as he believed his heart solely belonged to Hayley. She was the only woman he loved and would ever love. The thought of loving someone else was inconceivable to him. Reflecting on the past days of the week, he realized how much he missed Hayley. He hadn't seen her much lately as she had later extended her leave of absence from two days to a week and had

Attraction

"... Who is she?" Her voice resonated in his ears as he gazed at her intently. Upon hearing her question, Adrian's eye flickered toward his phone, prompting him to instinctively turn off the device before redirecting his attention back to the stunning lady standing before him. He had no idea who she was and he couldn't disclose Hayley's identity to a stranger, just like that. Thus...Adrian waved his hand dismissively, responding politely. "Uh, just someone I know... But excuse me, you are?" He asked, reciprocating her expressionless gaze and attempting to maintain a sense of composure. Alison's frown deepened as she stared at him for a moment, her face devoid of any emotion as she contemplated if her eyes had just played tricks on her a minute ago or not. The woman she had glimpsed on Adrian's phone bore an uncanny resemblance to her missing foster sister, Hayley. Or was she even the one? She couldn't fathom her own curiosity. Noticing the lady before him remained silent as if lo

Rejection

Alison was still imagining the things she would do to Adrian when he abruptly turned toward her and met her lust-dazed orbs, catching her off-guard. Surprise flickered across his face as he realized he wasn't mistaken, the lady had been unabashedly ogling him. In as much as he found it flattering and thrilling that a beautiful lady like her was so captivated by him, Adrian couldn't ignore the pang of guilt and betrayal in his heart. He thought of Hayley and what this would mean in their non-existent relationship. He couldn't do that to her. This might be a test of his love for her after all."So, tell me more about yourself, Mr. Lewis." Alison started, returning her gaze to match his again. Just then the waiter arrived with their orders, placing the drinks delicately on the table before excusing himself.Adrian replied as he poured wine into the two flute glasses, offering one to Alison. He shrugged casually. "Well, there isn't much to know. I'm thirty, and I own an Arts company." H

Back from Vacation

"Welcome back, SCA Nina!" They all shouted in unison as they saw her approach the door with Adrian by her side. Their faces lit up with genuine smiles, reflecting their joy at her return. Hayley stood frozen by the doorway, momentarily stunned and speechless by the surprise. After a moment, she eventually let out a laugh. "Oh my goodness, what is all this?" Hayley marveled at her gaily decorated office in awe as she walked in. Adrian, who had escorted her in from the lobby cleared his throat before replying in a friendly tone."We thought we should throw our best artist a surprise welcome party. We are lucky to have you back here, SCA Nina." He added with a playful tone, leaning in to whisper in Hayley's ear. "And this is also a Thank you gift from us to you for accepting to represent us in the upcoming competition."The colleagues nodded in agreement, their eyes fixed on the two of them. "That's correct, SCA Nina." One of them chimed in.Adrian shrugged playfully, nudging Hayley. "
