Two Months Later SOPHIA — I was lying helplessly today on the corner of the gutter when a car ran across me, splashing me with dirty water from the potholes as usual. To my greatest surprise, the car halted and the driver alighted. It was a lady. I thought she was coming to scold me for not avoiding her car at first, but I was shocked to my bone marrow as I noticed it was Yvonne. "Oh my goodness! Sophia, is this you?" she screamed as she noticed I'm the person. She must be really happy. Tears streamed down my cheeks immediately because I concluded that she would make a joke of me, but the reverse was the case. She ran to me and helped me get up. "Yvonne, I'm really sorry for everything I have made you pass through in life," I apologized, crying. "It's okay, Sophia. That is not necessary right now. You need proper medical attention first. That is the most important thing," she said, opening the back door of the car for me to enter. "Get in the car so we can leave for the

YVONNE —Three days later, the DNA result was finally out, and I was really happy about it. This was because it proved positive. Conan is actually the father of the kid—he is the father of all my kids. This means I will be going back to the pack. At least he could see his baby for the first time.Although I had agreed with Mr. Thomas on his request to go back to Conan, but I am still sceptical about it.I was still in my room robbing some body cream and powder on my baby when Amanda walked in."You are still worried about this. I thought he made a promise to you about your career. Didn't he?" Amanda asked me as she walked.It seems she had been eavesdropping from the door for a long time before she walked. Of course, for her to notice I was worried, she must have heard the disturbing murmuring I had been having with myself here for almost thirty minutes."Not really, dear. I was just having a debate over something that had... ""A debate?""Whatever, Amanda. Please just let me be. By

YVONNE —"Alright, Mommy, but remember your promise," Kiara stated, and they started leaving reluctantly.As soon as they left, I let out a deep sigh of relief. I could not believe that I had just managed to avoid the question Kiara asked without them suspecting I did not want to answer the question."By the time you would be back, I believe Amanda would be at home, so she could continue with you guys. It is only if you guys see me by then that you will be requesting an answer concerning Kiara's question," I mumbled.I picked up my phone and dialed Dr. Naty's phone number. I need to call her and inquire about our deal because she has yet to call me.As I dialed the number, the phone rang for a few seconds, and it ended without being picked up by someone."Maybe she is still busy with work in the hospital," I mumbled, dropping my phone.I went to the kitchen to get lunch ready for my kids because I did not know exactly when Amanda would be back for me to depend on her to prepare lunch

YVONNE —One Week LaterI was just returning from the hospital, and the thought of my discussion with Mr. Thomas kept flashing through my mind as I was driving.I could not believe that I had just agreed to his request. Only if he knew that I did that out of pressure."Well, the DNA test will conclude," I muttered.I had managed to reach out to Sophia and requested that she get me Dr. Naty's contact information after she objected to doing the task, saying that she is avoiding Conan because he would kill her upon seeing her. It was then that I told her to get me Dr. Naty's phone number so she could do the job for me.At first, Dr. Naty argued about doing the job, but when I told her the reward for the project, she quickly hopped on it.She told me the job would take her a week because of the procedures she was to follow, so Conan would not suspect anything wrong.However, it has been one week since I gave her the job, so I am waiting for her feedback today."I hope this works out well

YVONNE —But how am I going to do that when none of the two men are with me here in New York City?I thought for some time but could not come up with a valid idea."No. I need to do something fast," I muttered and stood up to leave for my room.As I walked into my room, I remembered that I had spoken with Sophia a few days ago. I recalled how I ended the call with her, promising to call her back only not to call as I said."I think she is the person who can work this out for me since she is in the pack. Yes, she is cunning and could do all sorts of dirty jobs," I mumbled. I picked up my phone to dial her number, and immediately, I realized that she told me she did not have a phone anymore. She only called me that day through a call agent.I decided to secretly get the blood samples of Conan and his hair to do the DNA test in the city without going to the pack just so I could be sure he is truly the father of my baby."So how do I reach this girl, for goodness sake?" I wondered.A few

YVONNE —"Girl, I could not even believe you did this to me in the office," I said to Amanda as I walked out to the sitting room, where she was busy watching movies."I'm really sorry, dear. For real, I can't believe I did that. It was as if a spell was cast on me. I could not even raise my gaze anymore until the moment he asked for my contact," she stated."Oh, you both exchanged phone numbers as well?" I asked, chuckling.I never even knew all that happened in the office. It was the moment I left for my office to get Mr. Thomas what he requested I should get him that they did that. I had thought he really needed those files, unaware that he was just trying to send me out of the office to excuse them just so they could have their moment."Maybe that was the reason you insisted on going with me just so you could perch yourself on him," I remarked, feeling infuriated. How could she do that to me? How could she stoop so low just for a man?

VICTORIA ~"Do you actually take me for a fool to think I'll buy these lies?"Logan was practically vibrating with anger as he confronted me after I gave him reasons for not calling or texting him since I left Asheville for Manhattan.To be honest, if I were in his shoes, I would certainly react the same way.But the truth was that I hadn't intentionally decided to stop communicating with Logan. I had just been so emotionally stressed that I couldn't bring myself to communicate with anyone."I'm so sorry, Logan," I apologized again, my voice filled with guilt."Don't say that to me," he snapped. "Didn't you read the message I sent you a few hours ago?"The moment he said that, I became speechless.I had seen his message. I remembered viewing it, but somehow, I had completely forgotten to reply.At that moment, I had received a notification from my bank concerning an erroneous debit alert that I hadn't authorized. My mind had been occupied with so many things that I had simply forgotte

LOGAN ~Seriously, I never imagined Victoria would be staying away for this long when she told me she was leaving for Manhattan to fetch her son."Could it be what I'm thinking?"I shook my head, immediately dismissing the thought. I didn't want to believe that Brandon had actually succeeded in convincing Victoria to be with him... and that she had agreed.She hadn't even called me to update me on what was keeping her there for so long. And no, nothing had happened to her—at least, that was what I believed. I still saw her active on social media, even though she never stayed online for long.I had refused to message her. I'd been a fool over her for far too long.If she truly regarded me as someone important in her life, she would have at least sent me a message. Just a simple text telling me what was keeping her there or when she planned to return.It wasn't even necessary for us to be romantically involved for her to consider me important. After everything I had done for her and her

BRANDON ~ "We're really sorry for the embarrassment earlier, Ms. Victoria. We were just doing our job. Please pardon us." The officer immediately apologized to Victoria after reviewing the CCTV footage that showed Musk putting the substance inside her phone. Although I was the one who had instructed him to do it, I had turned the whole thing against him because of what I had witnessed in my house earlier. How could he have the audacity to develop lustful feelings for the woman I was still doing everything possible to win back into my life? The mother of my precious son. Not only had he desired her, but he had actually attempted to sexually assault her in my own house. He didn't even try to woo her or make his intentions known. Instead, he wanted to forcefully have a taste of the woman I had been longing for myself. What an audacious human being! I turned toward Victoria, who stood there looking completely bewildered. "I'm sorry you had to go through this. You can blame it on

VICTORIA ~Today was the day Liam and I were finally set to leave for Asheville City. Honestly, I hadn't expected us to stay this long in this city. The plan had been simple: get Liam and leave as soon as possible.But somehow, look how far we'd come."Benita, are you sure you'll keep your promise?" I asked as Liam and I prepared to leave and board the cab waiting for us outside."Of course. I'll always visit you guys whenever I'm free," she reassured me.Before getting into the cab, Liam and I exchanged hugs with Benita. She stood outside, waving goodbye to us until the cab was completely out of sight.By the time we arrived at the airport, it was exactly eight o'clock in the morning.We headed straight to the check-in area, and almost immediately, I noticed something strange. The customs officers seemed to be staring at me differently. Their attention appeared to be focused on me more than on the other passengers.Trying not to let it bother me, I calmly handed over my luggage for i

VICTORIA ~ By the time I got to Brandon's house, it was exactly twelve o'clock in the afternoon. At first, the security guards didn't believe my story. They thought I had stolen Brandon's spare key during my brief stay here yesterday, only to return today and rob him. It was only after I called Brandon and handed the phone to one of them that they finally allowed me in. However, the moment I stepped into the house, something felt terribly off. The phone I had come to retrieve was sitting visibly on the arm of the couch, facing directly toward the entrance. This wasn't where I had left it. I was very sure of that because there was no way I would have forgotten leaving it there. "Well, Brandon might have seen it and placed it here so I could easily find it when I came back to collect it," I concluded, deciding not to think too much about it. I picked up the phone and spun around to leave, only to freeze when I saw a strange figure standing at the entrance. He was blocking the o

VICTORIA ~The moment those words left his mouth, my stomach churned with disgust. It took every ounce of self-control not to throw up right there."Did I ever tell you I needed your apology, Brandon?"Did he seriously think Benita and I had come all the way here with my son just to tell him I'd forgiven him and wanted him back?How ridiculous."What did you come here for then?" he asked, locking his eyes with mine.I opened my mouth to answer, but he cut me off before I could say a word."How long are you going to keep pretending, Victoria?" His lips curled into a smug smile. "Just admit it. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."A bitter laugh almost escaped my lips.If we hadn't been standing inside his office building, I would have said something that would wipe that arrogant expression off his face."You're awfully full of yourself," Benita snapped before I could respond. "Bold of you to think we're here to lick your ass, Brandon."He let out a slow, exhausted sigh and leaned
