Kimberly POV "My darling granddaughter, who would believe you're alive”? An energetic old woman, probably in her 80's stepped from the door, before moving closer and pulling me in a suffocating warm hug.She looks small, but wrapped in her arms, I felt smaller."I'm your father's mother dear. YourGrandma!" she added, laughing The moment she saw the look of confusion on my face after releasing me from her hug."Grandma." I repeated with a warm smile."Let's take a walk around the company dearie." Alex said, dismissing the staffs who had gathered around us."Sure.""The Gioselle Company is the largestcompany in the United Kingdom. The second after the Flores in the whole world." Alex explained."We have multiple partners and shareholders, which of course I'm the Highest shareholder" He added proudly.I gave him a warm smile.I couldn't stay angry for a long time.

Leonardo’s POV"The winner has been decided," the announcer’s voice thundered through the hall, pulling me from my restless thoughts. My fingers tapped rhythmically against the armrest, a futile attempt to mask my growing irritation."Many of us know the rankings of the top two companies have remained unchanged for years," the announcer continued, pausing theatrically. "But will that remain the case this year?""For God’s sake, can he just say it and get this over with?" Monica hissed beside me, her tone sharp enough to draw a few curious glances.I clenched my jaw. The announcer’s unnecessary theatrics were grating, but my focus remained razor-sharp. I needed the Fiore Company to maintain its dominance. Anything less than first place was unacceptable."The fifth world-largest company goes to Stiten & Co.," he announced finally.Scattered applause followed as the award was presented. The announcer droned on, working his way through the ranks. My patience wore thinner with each passing

Kimberly’s POV"I never wanted to keep it from you, Leo. Believe me," I said, my voice trembling as I saw his face darken.I wasn’t even sure why I was explaining myself. He had caused this. Yet, here I was, trying to make him understand."Kimberly…""Believe me, Leo, the baby was a..." I hesitated, feeling the weight of my own words. "Was a mistake.""Kimberly!" Leonardo's voice sharpened as he grabbed my shoulders. His grip was firm, but not painful."Look at me!" he commanded.My shoulders slackened as I met his gaze. I expected anger, but what I saw was something else entirely.Something deeper."My baby isn’t a mistake." His voice was quieter now, but no less intense."Leo, I—""Listen to me." His hands slid from my shoulders down to my stomach, his touch lingering as if trying to connect with the life growing inside me. "I know I hurt you. And the baby. But I swear..." He paused, his fingers pressing lightly against my belly."I’ll make it up to you."I stared at him, stunned. D

Flashback 78"Sherry—surname unknown. She’s been a food vendor for years. She allegedly had a child with a wealthy billionaire, who paid her off to disappear with the child.""Her daughter is twenty-four, currently studying fashion abroad."Enzo relayed the information smoothly, his tone neutral, but his words left an unsettling weight on my chest.If this was all there was to Sherry, then why did it feel like something was missing?I frowned. "There's nothing secretive about her, so why do I feel uneasy?""Maybe it’s just nostalgia," Enzo offered.I shook my head. "No. There’s something more."He didn't argue, but since I had no facts to support my instinct, I let it go. Maybe she truly was just a food vendor.---Present Day"Turns out you’re not just a food vendor," I said, keeping my gaze steady on Sherry.A small smile curled her lips. "Turns out I’m your father’s pretty mistress."I scoffed but said nothing."I told you—I am not responsible for your pregnancy. Yet, you still came

“You can’t be serious, are you?” I asked, my voice shaking, more from the frustration than the fear I’d let slip through.“I mean every word,” Leonardo replied, his tone calm, almost dismissive. “You wouldn’t want to have a baby without her father around, right?”I stood my ground, gripping the edge of the table as my frustration surged. “Don’t try to coax me into anything, Leo!” I shot back, my voice steady but fierce.“My baby has a mother who loves her enough. That’s enough. It’s more than enough,” I said, though the words felt hollow, like a shield I could barely lift.I heard Leonardo exhale slowly, but he remained silent. The weight of his quiet settled on me. When I saw he wasn’t going to respond, I pushed my chair back to leave.“I’ll be going now,” I muttered, reaching for the napkin to wipe my mouth, trying to keep my hands steady.But then, his voice stopped me in my tracks. “How are you going to handle Sherry and her daughter?”I froze. “You know them?” I asked, my surpris
