‘I guess he’s busy today.’ Deborah blushed, realizing what she was thinking. ‘Whoa... Deborah, get a grip. You're not divorced yet and you're already thinking about someone else.’ Flustered, Deborah hurried into her house and put away the groceries.Just as she was about done, Caroline and Christian arrived with dinner.[Welcome.] Deborah greeted them at the door, letting them in."Hi, Deborah," the couple replied as they entered the house. Christian placed the bags on the table."It looks like you've settled in," Caroline joked, seeing a corner of the living room with the laptop and some open notebooks.[Well, it's my house. Besides, I like the view from the window, so I made it my workspace.] Deborah replied."That's the spirit," Christian praised her."Dear, clean your hands and help us set the table," Caroline instructed, taking the bags to start unpacking the food.Christian obeyed. When he returned, his partner asked him to open the wine bottle and serve some juice while

Chapter 22

The day before had been very relaxing for Deborah. So today, she was determined to work towards properly owning this house, to make it her new home. After breakfast, she calculated how much savings she needed to buy the house from Jayden. She also wanted to make sure she had enough to get him a thank-you gift.Her calculations were interrupted when she checked the time—she had an online appointment with a client to discuss their tax declaration for this bimester. Deborah closed her notebook and logged into the online platform.‘Now that I have more time on my hands, I can easily handle four clients a day.’ She smiled—she had been handling a total of 20 clients per week without any issues before this.Once the appointment was over, she started drafting her report to send it to her boss.With this increase in clients, and if she saved her money well, she could have enough to pay for the upcoming hospital bills; the necessary clothes, furniture, and other items for her baby; the curre

"I don't care."[What?]"I don't care if the baby isn't biologically mine. If you allow me, I'll treat that baby as my own because I really like you, Deborah. And my feelings for you are sincere."[Jayden, I couldn't ask you for that.]"Why not?"[It's just... no... it wouldn't be right. This baby is Roger's, it's not yours—]"That baby is yours, and if you give me a chance, I'll strive to be a great father to him or her."[Jayden... but I'm not—]"I know, you're not divorced yet, but soon you will be, so I'll continue my fight to win a piece of your heart."[I don’t think you need to fight for that.] Deborah looked away with a slight blush.Jayden was surprised by her reaction, and his smile widened. "I’m delighted by your words."[I still don't know exactly how I feel about you, but I think about you a lot.] Deborah admitted."I know, let's take it one step at a time," he said, taking her hands. "But I like how things are starting."Deborah nodded, smiling at him.After

Chapter 24

Meanwhile…Roger wasn't having a good time. His father had followed through with the threat and demoted him—he wasn't a department head anymore. Now he had less money because his salary reflected his new role: a basic employee.That only meant more problems and stress for him because Sophia couldn’t be bothered about any of that—she wanted to keep spending money as usual and now she was asking him for more, using her pregnancy as an excuse.After leaving work, he went home because he didn't feel like seeing anyone at the moment. He had been ignoring Sophia's constant calls all morning—she had truly become a nuisance."Ah... give me a break..." he complained, throwing his phone on his bed. He was tired of seeing messages like [Roger, my love, I need you... Can you give me money? Why aren't you here? I feel lonely... Hey, when will you give me a little gift...?] And that was only the tip of the iceberg in the number and types of messages she sent him.He cursed himself... he should

Upon hearing those words, Roger’s eye twitched as he turned to glare at his mother."That's right, son, you shouldn't neglect Sophia and my grandchild," she insisted."What... but—""While you two chat, I'll go unpack my things," declared Sophia, quickly detaching herself from him. She entered the apartment with her suitcases and started exploring the place while murmuring to herself."Mom, are you crazy or what?" Roger complained quietly."Don't talk to me like that, Roger.""How could you bring her to my house?""But I'm not doing anything wrong, since you two should be living together because of the baby and—""Mom, forget that because I'm going to bring Deborah back.""What?! Why?" The women exclaimed in unison."Because I want to reclaim everything that was mine," he declared, crossing his arms."What do you mean by that?" Sophia asked, unaware of the business matter."But your father…he didn't mention—""He was dead serious, and in case you don't remember, mother...

Chapter 26

Those who once despised Deborah and wished her dead were now desperately searching for her because they realized she was more than a nuisance. She was the key to a comfortable life—a life they had taken for granted and no longer wanted to live without.However, the ones who suffered the most from her disappearance were Deborah's relatives. They had conveniently claimed to be her family but had never cared about her well-being. And now they were going crazy, moving heaven and earth to find her.Unfortunately for them, they had no idea where to start looking or who to ask about her whereabouts. Because, to them, Deborah didn’t have any friends."Still nothing?" Frederick asked, nervous because he didn't have the money to pay his share of that supposed big business he was investing in."No, Dad," Ernest grimaced. "My friend can't do a proper investigation because that stupid woman doesn't even have a social media presence to start an internet search.""What about the email she create

“I was such an idiot for never giving you anything from all those jewelry collections you helped me design,” Roger grimaced, truly regretting now that he had lost Deborah. He knew the reason for the divorce, but his pride refused to accept that she was the one who left him. “Tch... maybe I should change a little. Maybe I should make a baby with you won't be alone at home once I get you back.""Who are you talking to?"Roger raised his gaze and found his younger brother staring at him. The former’s eyebrows immediately knitted together. "What do you want?""I came to see you because Dad wants to know if you've found my sister-in-law yet.""Obviously not, or you wouldn't be here at the company.""Hm... you know, I still don't understand why you hate me.""Because you were born to take everything from me, just like Mom said.""Well, that's a shame, because I used to admire you, brother, but now I just pity you.""You..." Roger stood up to hit him, but just as he was about to close

"Dad, I'm heading out too," Elliot said, trying to disguise his excitement."Alright, son, it's almost lunchtime anyway," George said, noticing what Elliot was trying to hide. "Do you want to eat together?""Sorry, Dad, I already have plans.""Okay, be careful. Remember to come back on time because as a boss, you should set an example.""Got it," Elliot declared happily, then turned around and started running to the designated place mentioned in that message.The meeting place was a restaurant, so when Elliot arrived, he asked for a table for two in a somewhat secluded area for more privacy.Once seated, he sent a message to that person to let them know he had already secured a table. Elliot felt a little anxious yet happy because his sister-in-law had finally contacted him. He enjoyed her company and saw her as the sister he never had.While waiting, he ordered food for both of them. After about five minutes, someone tapped his shoulder, startling him a little. Elliot whipped

"So, where are you staying right now?"[That's a secret.]"Aww, that's mean."[But if you want, I can give you my phone number.]"Well, that works."[I still can't tell you where I am because I want to be off the radar until the trial.]"I understand, Debbie. For now, I'll settle for your number," he said, jotting down the number. "And do you know the gender yet?"[I'm only two and a half months along.]"Ah... I see, but you'll tell me as soon as you know, right?"[Of course, you'll be one of the first to know.]Elliot was happy to hear that, reassured that his sister-in-law hadn't forgotten him.After finishing their meal, they decided to take a stroll through the streets to spend more time together. They eventually had to say goodbye when it was time for Elliot to return to the office."I'll text you later," he said, looking into her eyes.[Sure, I'll be waiting for your message.]"See you later, Debbie," he said happily, leaning in to kiss her on the cheek before rushi

Chapter 30

The days began to pass quickly, and despite Roger and his lawyer's best efforts to prevent it, news of the trial became public. Now, all the media were digging for details about the big scandal, which meant that the families involved started getting harassed by curious reporters.In addition, gossip spread quickly within the Peterson Group."So…now he's just an ordinary employee.""He deserves it.""Yeah, God, it was disgusting to see that stupid blonde parading around like she owned the place.""It's good that traitors get what they deserve.""Now that he doesn't have money, he doesn't feel so untouchable anymore."Roger frowned, gripping the pencil tightly and breaking it in the process—those ‘idiots’ were talking as if he wasn't just meters away from them.‘When I become president again, I'll fire all of you. You'll see, I'll make you suffer,’ Roger thought, cursing his so-called colleagues."Hey, you're here to work, so cut the gossip," Edgar's voice came, scolding his sub
