Jeff stared at Olivia, confused by her sudden statement. "You want to what?"

She took a deep breath, her expression calm, but her eyes carrying the weight of everything she had been holding in.

"I want to cancel the wedding, Jeff. I love you, I do. But I can’t let my love for you destroy my peace. What’s the point of marrying a man whose heart is clearly somewhere else?"

Jeff opened his mouth to speak, but she raised her hand to stop him.

"Don’t apologize," she said quickly. "You don’t owe me that. I know love can’t be forced. I saw you during our wedding planning session. You were zooming in on her picture, totally lost in your world. That wasn’t just a random moment; it was proof. Proof that you’ve never looked at me the way you look at her."

He lowered his head, his lips parting, but no words coming out.

She continued, her voice soft. "You’re still madly in love with Angelie. And the fact that she has two kids with you… I don’t stand a chance. I’ve always known it, but I kept hopin

    "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 eve

    "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

    Morris stood near the door, watching his father remove his wristwatch slowly, as though trying to ease off the pressure that had been building up for days. The results were out, and now, there was no more guessing."What next, Dad?" Morris asked, his voice firm but tired. "We have the DNA results, we heard her confession, and we have the information needed. We need to find that doctor as soon as possible."Grandpa Lu laid the wristwatch on the table, stretched his back on the long coach, and rubbed his wrist lightly. "The DNA came out positive. As much as I hate to say it, yes, she is the biological mother of my grandson Jeff and the same woman involved in the disappearance of our granddaughter."He paused, then sighed. "But even with that truth in front of me, I cannot accept her. Not after all she has done. A mother should protect her children, not trade them like pieces on a chessboard. What she did... it crosses a line, I don’t care if her sister did or not, I blame her."Morris n

    Morris sat on the same couch he had grown up sleeping on during holidays. Across from him, his father, Grandpa Lu, slowly finished the last sip of his coffee without saying a word.Morris shifted in his seat. "You’ve got to say something. I don’t like it when you’re this calm. This silence is louder than any yell."Grandpa Lu set the cup down carefully, removed his glasses, and looked straight at Morris with a faint grin. "Who would have thought your wife could pull off something like this? She fooled everyone. Even I, and that’s not easy to do."Morris exhaled slowly, his jaw twitching."She’s always looked like a helpless little thing, you know? Like someone who could barely hurt a fly. But I’ve always been suspicious of her. There was something in her eyes she tried to hide. Now I know what it was."He leaned back and continued. "Don’t worry. I’m not throwing her to the wolves. We’ve got too much at stake, our name, our business, and your son, my grandson, matter most to me. But we
