Grace's POV

I did my best to hold back the tears, but they fell anyway as I walked down the aisle, thankfully hidden from the excited guest by the veil over my face.

It was my wedding day with Victor Mason. My mom had been radiating with joy ever since our wedding date was picked. When the wedding planning began, she was extraordinarily happy. I had to pretend to be happy in order to avoid raising suspicions.

Victor sent me more than enough money to prepare everything for my family. He specifically instructed me to ensure that the food was lavish and to buy my mother an expensive outfit. He was also the one who purchased my wedding gown and all the accessories that came with it. They were incredibly pricey, and honestly, if I had received that money instead, I could have built a house with it because the gown was just far too extravagant for my budget.

My mom had been asking questions about Victor and our relationship, but I had no choice but to lie, even though I despise lying.

    Grace's POVMy eyelids felt heavy as I tried opening them, like I’d shut it tight for a long time. I felt a sharp pain in my head as I tried to lift my head off the pillow, forcing me to lie back. My nose felt heavy, weighed down, so I slowly lifted my hand to touch it. The oxygen mask made me realize I was in the hospital. “Hospital, but how?” My head throbbed more as I tried to remember what had happened. I still couldn't open my eyes well, but I sensed someone was beside me. As I tried to speak, I felt a needle prick in my hand and I drifted off again. When I finally got to open my eyes again, hours or maybe days later, the oxygen mask had been removed and the hospital smell was unmistakable. “Why am I here?” I whispered, glancing around the room. It was a private room so I had no one in there to answer my question. I shut my eyes back if that could help me remember anything. Then, the hurtful memories started flooding back. Jack….. Baby Maya…..Dr. Williams….. The police offic

    Jack's car followed the police van to the Mason’s Mansion. His frustration was palpable, his feet tapping anxiously on the car mat. Grace's past behavior concerning the investigation flooded his mind, sending chills down his spine as they all began to make sense. His phone rang, shattering his thoughts. He grabbed it, fear intensifying as Isabella’s name flashed back at him. How would he tell Isabella that his mother was the culprit? The thought of Isabella’s reaction made him nauseous.He ignored the call, but the phone kept ringing. After giving him several missed calls, Isabella sent a text instead. “Hi baby, it seems you're busy. I Just want to give you an update on what’s happening. I’ve gotten our baby girl from the Winthrops and we are on our way home now. She's such a lovely mini me and can't wait for you to meet her. Love you darling.” The message read with love emojis added. Jack's eyes teared up as he read the message, he feared he would lose his marriage if Isabella ev

    Without any further delay, Jack called the police station and within a few minutes, the cops surrounded the adoption agency center, arresting Mr. Oliver. They then headed straight to the hospital to arrest Dr. Augustine Williams. Dr. Williams’s eyes widened in alarm as the detectives burst into his office. Fear gripped him upon seeing Mr. Oliver, standing beside them in a handcuff. Jack was also behind them, his face twisted in a deep frown. “Dr. Williams, you're under arrest for stealing Mr. Mason's child,” the detective’s voice sent his body into tense and it started to shake. A hard knot hooked in his throat, making it hard for him to utter words as he just stood rigid, staring at the detective in horror. “Please turn around and put your hands behind your back,” Dr. Williams complied, turning around slowly, his hands trembling as the detective handcuffed him. “Em….” He was about to say but the detective swiftly cut him off. “Anything you say will be used against you in the cour

    “Jack…” Daisy called, her mouth agape in astonishment. “Why will you say that, babe?” Isabella sighed, obviously drained to the bone. Jack's face remained stern, his nostrils flared in anger. “Mrs. Morris, explain why a desperate man will steal my child if not that he knew he’d be paid for it.”“Jack stop!” Isabella yelled, her frustration boiling over. “You couldn't help me find my baby, so don't frustrate someone trying to help me.” “Think about…” Isabella’s teeth clenched, her finger raised in a warning gesture. Jack, sensing her anger, swallowed his words and remained silent, but deep down, he wasn't pleased with how the situation was being handled. He believed he would have fastened the process if he'd done it on his own. “We're sorry, Mrs. Morris,” Daisy's palms rubbed together in apology, her eyes pleading for forgiveness. “No need to apologize,” Mrs. Morris replied in a low tone, managing a smile. “Mr. Jack, you should know I'm just as confused as you're. When I saw you

    Jack, Isabella and Daisy sat in the adoption agency’s reception, their faces tensed with impatience as they waited for the manager to arrive. Jack frequently glanced at the clock, letting out deep sighs and shaking his head with his jaw clenched, his growing frustration evident. After what felt like eternity, the entrance door swung open and the trio’s eyes darted toward it, their eyes blazing with anticipation. The manager, Mrs. Morris walked in, her heels clicking softly on the tiles. She paused upon seeing Daisy, but her eyes widened in shock as they landed on Jack. “Mr. Mason,” her voice laced with surprise, extending her hand for a handshake. “Yes I am,” Jack replied, accepting the handshake. Mrs. Morris turned to Daisy, her face still etched with shock. “You came with Mr. Mason?” “Yes, and his wife,” Daisy gestured to Isabella, who stood up and greeted Mrs. Morris with a warm smile. “About the case you discussed with me?” Mrs. Morris’ eyes narrowed slightly, darting from

    “This is the result, ma’am,” The scientist said with a warm smile, handing the envelope to Isabella, who took it with a trembling hand. “Thank you,” she whispered and gently placed the envelope in her bag, stood up and walked out of the hospital with Jack following closely behind her. “Can we check it now?” Jack asked once they were settled in the car. “No,” Isabella whispered, her gaze fixed on the road. “I’ll check it when we get home.”Jack kept silent, his patience wearing thin as they drove home. Immediately they entered into their bedroom, Isabella brought out the envelope, shut her eyes tight, and took a deep breath before proceeding to tear the envelope open. Her hands trembled as she pulled out the result. With teary eyes, she glanced through it and her eyes widened with shock and excitement when she saw the result was 99.9% positive. “Oh my goodness,” Isabella breathed, her hand trembling so hard that the paper slipped off from her fingers. Jack quickly picked it up an
