NORA'S POV Being reunited with my son was the best thing that ever happened to me in a very long time. I have never been that scared in my entire life and heaven knows that I wasn't going to let Olivia go scort free for kidnapping my son. It's crazy how she thought Aiden was cheating on her because we never even shared a kiss not until after we were able to rescue Duke. The orphanage had been the last place that was on my mind to find him. Heck I was even scared that they would have taken him out of the country. But thankfully, the staffs at the organisation were able to recognize that he was the kid that wandered off during the volunteer period. They immediately contacted Sabastian who reached out to Jade. That was how I was able to reunite with my son.I lay in bed that morning as I began to count all of my blessings. Even though I lost my father along the way, at least I was able to reconcile with him and introduced him to his grandson. I was also able to meet my birth mother,

AIDEN'S POV It's been exactly one week since the whole rollercoaster of emotions. One week since the day we rescued Duke of being held hostage by Olivia. One week since I have been living in San Diego. I had moved in with Jason at least for now, until I am able to sort things out.Today was finally the day I'd be officially introduced to Duke as his father. Nora had texted me two days ago to explain everything to me. So here I am, in front of their apartment complex with a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a bag full of flowers on the other hand.As I walked into the building, my mind went back to how we had rescued Duke. We arrived at the orphanage home a couple of hours later using the company's helicopter, we didn't have to time to book a flight to San Diego. Thankfully, Jade and Jason had already gone to get him. As soon as Nora set eyes on Duke, she immediately ran towards him as Duke did to her. My eyes immediately got filled with tears as I watched the emotional moment unfol

NORA'S POV It's been 2 days since Aiden and I got back to San Diego. That means two days since my son had been kidnapped by God knows who. I tried my best to stay as calm as possible throughout the flight from Del Mar....but as soon as we got back to the hospital, I freaked out. I couldn't believe that this was happening. It was as if someone literally placed a curse on me because it has just been from one bad news to another. First it was the meeting with Gloria Hart and how she had threatened me, then the accident that almost claimed my life and that of Duke's. Thankfully the driver in the truck didn't sustain that much injury. He was discharged the same day I left the hospital.And next, it was the news of my father's passing. I am still yet to recover from all of that and now Duke is missing? Can my life get any worse? Can it get any more pathetic?"I am soo sorry Nora...they tricked me with the call" Jade said to me but I was too anxious and scared to think straight. Aiden ha

AIDEN'S POV This was my first time in Del Mar, but sadly, instead of the reason for visit to either be for business or vacation, it was for a funeral. Nora's father's funeral - Mr Carl Simmons. The first person Nora introduced me to when we arrived was Magdalene. I had heard stories about her even as far back to when Nora and I dated 6 years ago. The middle aged woman had been excited to meet me although her excitement couldn't really show because of the grieve that was on going.It turns out that a lot of people had been patiently waiting for the day Nora would finally introduce Duke's father to them, this only made it better that I was the one who came with her and not Jason. Else they probably would have been rumours of he being the father to Duke. The apartment was filled with soo many relatives as Nora greeted and introduced me to them. Heaven knows that I couldn't keep up with the names anymore after the fifth person. And then, I met the step mother and half sister. Mabel an

AIDEN'S POV It's been 5 days since Nora told me about the passing of her father. It was also due to that incident that I got to discover all that she went through with her family after she got pregnant. How her father had cut all contacts with her and how she didn't have a choice but to keep my identity a secret. If I were in her shoes, I most likely would have done the same thing.And then, how it turned out that the woman she had thought was her mother was actually her step mother and how she had gone all the way to Missouri in search of her birth mother. It pained me for not being there for her throughout those period of hardship. Which is why I had volunteered to go with her for the funeral of her father. It was going to be held in Del Mar in the next two days. Although, Jason had wanted to go with her, but I persuaded him to give me the opportunity to be there for her. He already knows how I feel about her and now, I was looking for the perfect opportunity to have the conversa

AIDEN'S POV I walked into the family mansion and then approached the maid who I had sighted as soon as I entered the house. "Mr Hart.... you're here, it's good to see you" she greeted me like she didn't just see me last week Sunday for the weekly dinner we had with grandma." Where's my grandmother?" I asked her, going straight to the point. I wasn't in the mood for fraternizing." She's upstairs in her room" The maid replied.Without wasting any more second, I headed straight for grandma Gloria's room and then placed a knock at the door." Come in" she stated from inside. She was sitted in front of her dressing mirror, doing only God knows what but I knew that I wasn't interested in it. " Aiden? I was just about to call you" she started and then asked. " What is this I'm hearing about you skipping dinner with Olivia and her family? This is your in-laws from goodsake! Do you know how disrespectful that is?" She asked all at once I wasn't even surprised that she knows about this. S

Celine's POV The moment I recognized Eleanor's voice, .....I froze." Hello Celine" she said sweetly over the phone, as if we were long lost friends that were reconnecting.A million and one questions began to run through my mind all at once. How is this possible? How did she get this number? Who gave it to her? Or wait Had she being the one behind the SUV thing? Was she the reason why Alex and his sponsor were trying to protect me? Was she the one they were trying to protect me from? But this doesn't makes sense. I knew that Eleanor cared for nothing but herself and her daughter, but she wouldn't go to the length of being lethal....or would she?" You do know that it would have been decent to check in on us, your family every once in awhile instead of disappearing like you did" She started. I could hear the tone in her voice, it was combined with both sarcasm and disappointment. " Where are your human feelings? " She continued and then added. " How could you disappear like we

Celine's POV As we pulled up to the old three story hotel, a slight wave of anxiety gripped me. I was with Maryjane and two other members of the team for this project. I had spoken with Matteo 2 days ago and he had agreed for us to come inspect the place before finalizing the contract. It was all about evaluating the space we were expected to renovate and transform in six months." Are you sure this is the place?" Maryjane asked as she scanned the entire building from head to toe." I'm pretty sure it is.......see it has the name Kings Hotel written boldly on it." I replied her as I gestured to the bold sign above us." Perhaps there is another Kings Hotel " she continued as she gripped the stirring will tightly." This is the place Maryjane" I replied her as calmly as possible. I knew that she had been skeptical about Matteo ever since she met him but I wasn't going to allow that single meeting with him determine how we would run the project.So without wasting anymore time, I open

Rowan's POV I arrived back home feeling all drained and exhausted. The ride all the way from the Dunphy's house had turned out to be longer than usual....I think it's probably because of the mental struggle I was currently experiencing.I remained in the car as I leaned into the leather seat and then stared out of the tinted window even though my focus was on nothing in particular. I picked up my phone to check for any calls or text from the private investigator but still, there was nothing. For how is he going to make me wait for?The is getting frustrating for the love of God!I meant every word that I said to Tobias and his wife, If Celine isn't found as soon as possible, I wouldn't hesitate to burn them to the ground..... their reputation, legacy, all of it.I hadn't cared about their family ever since Emilia walked out on our engagement without a single word and I wasn't going to especially now that I am beginning to realize how they had treated Celine. She had been the banda

Celine's POV I stared out of the window silently as Maryjane drove me home. My hands clenched in my lap as I replayed the sound over and over again. The sound of the camera.... click.The snap of the camera shutter. Even though I wanted to stay positive, but deep down I knew that I hadn't imagined it. I couldn't have, just as the same way that I couldn't have mistaken Rowan for the man I saw at the restaurant. And even if Maryjane didn't witness it, the black SUV parked in the far corner of the restaurant wasn't a coincidence.....or was it? I am certain that someone was watching me. I could feel it.But then who could it be? And why would anyone be watching me? I didn't have any enemies, infant the only person that might have something to do with me is Rowan but I highly doubt that he is behind this. There was absolutely no reason for him to watch me this way, if he wants to see me he would have found me already, I mean he isn't Rowan Sinclair just for nothing.Unfortunately Rowa

Emilia's POV As soon as Rowan walked out of the house, silence immediately filled the entire living room. Celine filed for a divorce? I didn't expect that at all. I had sent her that video to scare her but I definitely wasn't expecting her to back off that easily. And now, she had left, leaving the space that I had yearned for the past 2 years empty. Can this get any better?I tried to hide the smirk that was beginning to form at the corners of my lips as I watched my parents rant to eachother." You see what you've done? " My Mother snapped as she began to pace the room. " This is all your fault Tobias, you are the one who kept spoiling and indulging that girl!" She said out loud I watched as my father tossed his phone onto the couch as he muttered under his breath. " I don't have time for this, .....I have an entire city to run. " He blurted out and then added. " Celine can't just disappear and embarrass us like this... that girl is going to ruin everything that I've built""She

Rowan's POV I sat at the meeting with the finance department but I just couldn't concentrate. My mind was on one person alone, .....the woman at the restaurant this morning.Right now, the conference room felt like a prison as voices droned around. I watched as the head of account displayed his charts but all I could think about was the woman. The woman I had thought was Celine.Could it have been her? But then, the hair was different. I know I didn't have a person relationship with Celine but I could fish her out in a room full of women with my eyes closed. Why then am I having this conflicting thoughts? Why then am I finding it difficult to concentrate on the meeting I had looked forward to attending? Her hair was different....softer and shorter. It wasn't the deep blonde that I remembered. In addition, the clothes were a different style from what Celine was into..... they were bright colours. Definitely not what my wife would wear.But then, there had been something about the wa
