เข้าสู่ระบบAshley couldn’t count the amount of times she had glanced outside the window to see if they had arrived in Pearl estate. She would look outside the window, check her phone and then look outside the window again like a headless chicken whose head had gone on a vacation.Jamal noticed her discomfort and reached forward, giving her hands a soft squeeze.“It’s okay, babe,” he said softly, glancing at her briefly before returning his attention back on the road. “Caleb is not getting away. We are going to find him and bring Sophie back.”That seemed to calm Ashley down.She gave a weak smile that didn’t reach her eyes before leaning back in her seat, her gaze drifting toward the passing lights.She glanced at the side mirror and saw Vicky following closely in her car. When they had left the Montclair’s mansion, she had gotten into Jamal’s car while Vicky hopped into her car and followed after them.They were now on the highway, making their way to Pearl estate.She was still lost in though
A few Hours ago After arriving in the city, Caleb drove straight to his apartment in pearl city, one of the places he went to when he wanted to get away from work and everything else. No one else knew this place aside from him. Throughout the ride, he never took his eyes off Sophie, watching as she slept peacefully on his lap. She looked so innocent and peaceful. He smiled, reaching for her hair and stroking softly. He couldn’t wait for her to wake up so he could finally talk to her. Eventually the driver pulled to a stop in front of the apartment in pearl estate. Caleb stepped out and carefully scooped his daughter into his arms before carrying her inside. He walked slowly into a bedroom with a massive king size bed that could easily accommodate two people. Gently, he placed Sophie on the bed and pulled the sheets over her small body before settling down beside her. For what felt like hours, Caleb did not leave her side, watching as she slept peacefully. He had won countles

The silence that followed was deafening.Everyone stared at Ashley in stunned disbelief.Victor, who had asked the question, didn’t know how to respond. His mouth opened slightly, but no words left his lips.Even old madam Eleanor stared at Ashley in shock. She didn't know what surprised her more, the words Ashley had just spoken or the fact that she had a daughter.Only Beatrice reacted differently.Of everyone in the family, she was the only one who already knew that Ashley had a daughter and that Caleb was the father.Before she could respond, Caroline rose to her feet, her voice cutting through the silence.“Watch what you say Ashley. I know this family has wronged you, believe me, we all know and we deeply regret our actions. But I will not stand here and watch you accuse my son of doing something like this. My son is not a kidnapper.”Seeing that his wife had just spoken, Victor finally broke out from his shock. “My wife is right, Ashley. Caleb is not a kidnapper. He will never
Meanwhile back in the Beaumont mansion, the atmosphere was just as tense.A few minutes after Ashley and Vicky left, leaving just Tristan, Lara and Raphael behind, Raphael excused himself and went outside to make a call, leaving just Lara and Tristan behind.The moment the doors closed behind him, Lara turned toward Tristan and shot him a knowing glare.“What?” Tristan asked, his angry deep voice taking over the room.Lara sighed softly. “You told Ashley that Jamal left on his own,” “And?” Tristan replied, his voice firm.“You are forgetting that I know you like the back of my hand, babe. I know something happened between the both of you so spill,”“There’s nothing to talk about,” Tristan said, rising to his feet, feeling uncomfortable where he was seated. “I told that bastard to leave my property and he was smart enough to exactly that.”Lara sighed again. She knew something was not right but she hadn’t expected it to be this serious.“But why would you do something like that, babe
The drive back home was a long and silent one for Jamal. Looking out through the window, the cold evening air brushing against his skin, he still couldn’t bring his mind to stop thinking about Tristan and everything that had transpired between them.He could still remember the anger in Tristan’s voice as he hurled those words at him.And worse was that he knew every part had been true.He should have been there to protect Sophie, just as he had promised.Instead, he had been distracted by the date and had allowed that little girl to be taken right from under his watch.Jamal gritted his teeth, desperately hoping they would find out who the culprit was soon.As the car climbed the highway, the low hum of the car filling the silence. His phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.Jamal wanted to ignore it, but with the silence slowly eating away at him, he reached into his pocket and pulled it off.Raphael’s name flashed across the screen, and he quickly swiped the answer button, bringing t
