She sold her heart to save her brother’s life… but the price was far more than she ever imagined. Angelie Smith never planned to marry the wrong brother. But when her twin falls critically ill, and medical bills rise beyond reach, she turns to the only man she’s ever loved, Jeffrey Lu. Only he’s gone on a business trip… and his cunning half-brother, Lucas, steps in with an offer: become his wife, and he’ll foot the bills. Desperate, Angelie agrees, only to fall into a cruel trap. On their wedding night, Lucas drugs them both, and what follows leads to an unexpected pregnancy. Now, Jeffrey is back. And the woman he’s loved from afar is married to his brother. What happens when the truth unravels? And will Jeffrey ever find out... he’s the father of twin girls?
View MoreMonalisa quickly pulled back from the kiss, her face turning bright red. She looked away in embarrassment and started mumbling, "I’m so sorry, sir. I didn’t mean to… I wasn’t thinking, it just happened, I…"Before she could say anything more, Fred stepped forward, reached out gently, and wrapped his arms around her waist. With one hand on her back, he leaned in and kissed her softly, but with meaning. When he pulled back slightly, he looked straight into her eyes and whispered, "Mine wasn’t a mistake. I don’t know what you’ve done to me, but please… don’t stop. I love it here."His words caught her completely off guard. She blinked, trying to process everything. Her heartbeat was almost loud enough for him to hear. Fred smiled again, still holding her close. For a few seconds, they just stayed like that, not saying anything, letting their emotions speak.*******Angelie sat on a high stool in her office, completely focused on adding a few finishing touches to a design she’d been worki
"I know I dragged you into this," Paul said softly, his fingers brushing through Angelie's hair, "and I messed up badly, but I didn’t mean for any of this to happen."She stood still, watching him. His calm expression didn’t match what she just said.He smiled at her, his touch gentle. "So, are we keeping the baby?"Angelie pulled back a little, looking at him with wide eyes. "You don’t understand what I said earlier. I said I’m pregnant, Paul. Pregnant for Jeff, for the second time. Shouldn’t you be angry? Or sad? Or walk out of here and never look back?"He looked into her eyes. "I heard you the first time, Angelie, and I’m not angry. I should be, maybe, but I’m not. If I had been present, if I hadn’t been so distant, maybe you wouldn’t have gotten close to him again. I take the blame for that. I left a gap, and he filled it. That’s on me and not you, my love."She opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out.He kissed her forehead gently. "Whatever you decide, I’ll supp
"What are you saying?" Antonia asked, her voice rising as she stared at Lizzy. "He told me you were like a daughter to him. You're his nephew’s baby mama. He would never do something like that. His morals wouldn’t allow it. Are you two trying to play games with me?"Lizzy didn’t argue. Instead, she opened her handbag slowly, reached inside, and pulled out a small white envelope. She held it out to Antonia with a look that was calm, almost too calm."I’m sure you know how to read," Lizzy said in a flat tone. "That’s my pregnancy test result. Do whatever you want with it. But one thing is clear: I won’t lose him to you. You thought he would marry you? Come on. He’s a Lu, and I’m the better fit for that name. I’ll show myself out."Antonia stood still. She took the envelope and slowly opened it. As her eyes scanned the paper, everything else around her faded. The walls, the ticking clock, the sounds outside, all disappeared. Her hands shook slightly. Her breath felt short. She didn’t even
"I’m not ready for any of this joke. I’ve got too much going on already," Samson muttered, gripping the edge of the table like it might steady his world.Lizzy went forward, eyes locked on him. "Then maybe we should head to the hospital right now and run some tests. That way, you’ll understand that I didn’t drag you here to joke about something this serious."His hands twitched. His eyes burned with a mix of frustration and disbelief. He took a deep breath and said, "Why do you keep pushing me to the edge? I already have enough to deal with. Lucas is my son, Jayden is my grandson. How on earth do you expect me to process having a child with you?"Her gaze didn’t waver. She seemed calm, too calm. "I thought Lucas was just your nephew, but frankly, I don't care what your family tree looks like. I’m keeping this baby, and whether you like it or not, you will be involved. Can’t you see it? Even the universe is pulling us together. I can offer you so much more than that old woman can.""St
"I’ll be concise and precise," Grandpa Lu began, his voice firm, not an ounce of hesitation in his tone. He was seated across from Owen in a room that smelled faintly of olive oil. "We are both adults here, Mr. Owen. I believe neither of us wants to dance around the truth. So I’ll go straight to the point. From my findings, you’re impotent."Owen jerked in his seat. "I beg your pardon? You can’t just walk into my home and insult me like this.""That’s not an insult," Grandpa Lu cut him off smoothly. "It’s a fact, and please, don’t interrupt me again. I dislike rudeness. Take this as a warning, not a threat."Grandpa Lu’s eyes darkened. "Your wife, may her soul burn in whatever place liars go, conspired with a nurse and stole my granddaughter. Did you know what that could have done to my family? Do you know the damage? If she were still alive, I’d have seen to it she spent the rest of her life behind bars."Owen slammed his hand on the couch arm. The sound echoed. "That’s enough! Leave
"He is stable for now," the doctor said while flipping through Lucas’s chart. "We’ll still need to run a few tests to be completely sure. Once the results are in, we’ll know the next step to take."Morris, Samson, and Jimmy were all seated in the doctor's office, the weight of the situation evident on their faces. They had rushed Lucas to the hospital after his sudden collapse. Now, they were just trying to breathe."Thank you, doctor," Morris said quietly, standing up to shake the doctor’s hand. Samson gave a nod, his arms crossed. Jimmy, who had been pacing earlier, sat still now, relieved but anxious."We appreciate all you’re doing," Samson added before they stepped out into the waiting area.************"This is so beautiful," Angelie said, laughing as she tugged gently at Elizabeta’s cheek. Her eyes sparkled as she watched Elizabeta flash her diamond ring again."Everything is happening so fast," Angelie continued. "You went from being confused about motherhood to walking aroun
