Paige stared at the man who claimed to be her father, while she struggled to make sense of what was going on."You are my Dad? How? Since when?Or do you want to take advantage of the fact that Anthony Summers has denied me as his daughter?"The man smiled, "That's a nice theory, Paige, but tell me, what would I gain by pretending to be your father?""I dunno, you tell me!" Paige replied.The man regarded Paige for a while and said, "You're just like her, beautiful and adorable.""My mom?"He nodded.His words pleased her and she smiled."Sorry for hugging you out of the blue, Paige. Let's start over," the man said. "My name is Melvin Lawson. I am forty eight years old and your mom was the love of my life.""If my mom was the love of your life, then why did you let her marry that scumbag, Anthony?""I will tell you everything, Paige but for the avoidance of doubt, let's get a DNA test done first. I'm talking about a paternity test. I'm convinced that you are my daughter but I want y
After Zach was left in the bedroom with Paige and the butler left with Tony, Susan was filled with so much jealousy that she marched to Hailey's room.At this time, Hailey was lying down, thinking. She was mapping out her plan to get Paige out of Zach's life permanently. She didn't want to rush it; she wanted to take it as slowly as possible, believing that this way, no one would point fingers at her. At this point, Susan came into her room, barging in."What do you think you're doing?" She asked, losing her temper.Susan replied, "I'm so sorry, Miss Hailey. I need to tell you that Mr. Fletcher came back home drunk, and Paige is with him. They are alone in his bedroom, with the door locked.""What?"Hailey quickly got up. "Paige? This girl... She's daring me. Doesn't she know Zach belongs to me?"Since Hailey could barely walk well, she had to move while limping until she got to the room.Once she was in front of Zach's room, she held the handle of the door. Realizing it wasn't locke
As Paige stared at the video playing on the manager's phone, only one culprit came to her mind: "Anthony Summers."Of course, he must've plotted with Candy and his wife for them to do this. If only they knew who they were offending. She began to think that Anthony was fortunate that Zach's face did not show. Anyway, Zach was already going to deal with him, so this did not change anything.The manager took his phone from her and said, "As I was saying, your reputation is bad. We normally don't take in people with negative publicity. I'm only just letting you into the agency....well because you came recommended. your personality is really bad. I mean, at your age, there are so many scandals around you. Hold on, let me get the contract."As the man opened his drawer, he took out a contract from it and placed it on the table, "You can go ahead and sign it."Paige stared at the man for a while and finally took out a pen from her bag, wanting to sign.However, Zach held her wrist, and she t
Paige's manager came into the office at this time, and she was given all the details about her assistant. She said she was going to go through it and get back to him later. After that, they left.Once they were inside Zach's car, she was just about to call Melvin when Zach said, "This is what we're going to do, Paige. Yes, this man did know your mother, and it seems they were friends, but we cannot be sure. What if he's an enemy disguised as a friend? It's better that he doesn't know me yet. You shouldn't let your enemy know your greatest weapon."Paige smiled, "You're my greatest weapon?""Yeah, well, so to speak. What if he's coming around because he wants to know why you've been so successful or he wants to know who's backing you? This is what we're going to do."Patting her head, he continued, "The hospital in question, I own some of its shares, so I have a major influence in the hospital. I'm going to make sure you both have your conversation in a room from which I can monitor
After crying, Paige wiped her eyes and chuckled, "Sorry, I've been told that I'm a crybaby. Sometimes I get too emotional.""It's okay," Melvin replied, "Your mom was like that too.""Really? Did my mom cry a lot?" Paige asked."I wouldn't say she cried a lot. She was an emotional person and she usually gave way to tears easily." Melvin explained."That's strange; I never saw her cry," Paige replied."So, tell me, where do you stay? And, the guardian you spoke about earlier, is it possible for me to finally meet him?"Paige smiled awkwardly, "Well, I guess you can see him. I actually live in his house."Melvin stared at her in surprise, "You do? Tell me about your relationship.....is he like a boyfriend or something?"Paige shook her head, "No, far from it. He is so cool.On the day Mr. Anthony had his last marriage anniversary with his wife, they accused me of theft and kicked me out of the house. At the time, I fainted under the rain and wished for death. But a man saved me and too
Back in the Summers mansion, Candy remained in bed, sulking. Her mom came to sit beside her on the bed and said, "Come on, Candy. For how long will you remain cooped up in your room? You haven't gone to school since you came back from Wembley, and you've barely had anything to eat. You can't keep doing this to yourself just because Paige beat you in the contest. You know your father did the best he could for you. He's currently tackling Paige and everyone is making fun of her. But there's something you should learn from her though."Candy frowned, "Mom, are you trying to say that Paige is better than me?""No, my dear. How can that good-for-nothing bitch be better than you? What I'm saying is that everyone is making fun of Paige now.They keep talking about how rotten and disgusting she is, but does that stop her from pursuing what she wants? No. Paige still goes to school and she still attends her classes. Otherwise, how do you think we were able to capture the pictures your dad p
Zach stared at Paige, surprised by her question. He found it tricky though; yes, he didn't want her to leave, and he felt like telling her to stay. But he did not want to come off as selfish.Paige had said she saw him as her best friend; it gave him a good feeling. So, he needed to act like a friend at this time.In the end, he smiled at her and said, "You already said that you want to bond with your father. He has missed out on eighteen years of your life. So, if I ask you to stay, I think that will be selfish of me. I want you to go, so you can get to experience the love of your father up close, and you won't feel like you're lacking anything in life.""Thank you very much," Paige said to him.As she got down from the car, she waved at Zach who promised that he was going to pick her up in the evening.After he left, however, the smile on her face disappeared, and she felt sad. It was a happy occasion that she had discovered her father and was going to stay with him. But she could
"Excuse you!" Paige exclaimed.Lina was shocked by Paige's sudden reaction since she seemed like a pushover from the start."I merely asked for a favor and you are being rude? Hmph!" Lina stomped her feet and angrily walked into the house, leaving Paige behind.Paige touched the pendant of the necklace around her neck and sighed. How could Lina be so shameless? It was okay for Lina to have feelings for Zach but how dare she ask for her help to marry him?It wasn't as though Zach was a mindless robot. Besides, if she had such ability, she would have rather gotten herself married to Zach.As she imagined herself being Zach's wife, Paige chuckled and touched the pendant again before finally entering the house.The reception that welcomed her was nothing short of her expectations, if anything, she was blown away.The first thing that caught her eyes was the inscription, "Welcome Home," Boldly hanging below the chandelier. The house was designed with Balloons and flowers but the decoration
