Zoe was shopping for baby clothes and supplies one afternoon with Greta by her side. She wanted to get things done early in case the baby came at any moment. The gender of the child was still not known, so she bought everything in unisex. She had refused to check, wanting it to be a beautiful surprise to herself. She deserved it, after all she had been through. She pulled out her phone, checking for any blog article about Magatech. Zoe could not find any. The blogs were her only chance to find out what was going on with the company and with Henry. Zoe was still in search of a house to rent for she and Leo. It would be an inconvenience to raise her child in Emily’s family house. They had already accepted Zoe and Leo into their home for months, how inconsiderate would she be to add a child to the list. They were too nice. Zoe did not want to take their help for granted. "That should be all for now," Greta said, looking over the items they bought. It was a lot. They both walked to

Zoe woke up at the same time Leo did for work and got ready to follow him without him knowing. Up until she spoke with Emily the previous night, Zoe had never guessed what Leo’s new job would be, and she was determined to find out. He had been more secretive around her lately too, and that heightened Zoe’s suspicions. She should better not catch him doing something bad or he would get an earful. Zoe’s pregnancy was pushing eight months, and it protruded out of every cloth she wore. No matter how big the dress she wore was, it did not still fully cover her enlarged stomach. She decided to just wear her normal clothes. It was not a shame to be seen pregnant. Zoe sneaked out of the house behind Leo, making sure her footsteps were silent enough and keeping a safe distance. She saw him make a phone call when he got to the bus stop. Then after some minutes had passed, a black SUV showed up. Its glasses were tinted so she could not see who was inside. Leo slid into the backseat as the c

Worry continued to cloud Henry’s judgment that he could not fully focus on work. He canceled too many business meetings that his dad had to scold him about it. His mood had been disoriented since he got to know of Zoe’s pregnancy. She was carrying his child alone, and he could hardly do anything about it. He had had his workers track the express card and they found out the card was last used in Italy. He had sent several men in search of her in Italy. But none returned with any positive news. It frustrated him. The penthouse was lonely without Zoe, or even his annoying brother Jack. It was times like this he needed someone to talk to, but Daniel claimed Jack had something else to deal with. He heard a car pull up at the penthouse and prayed it was his brother, not any of his parents. His prayer was answered when Jack strolled in through the front door, holding a wrapped white box."What is that you are holding?" Henry asked, pretending to be annoyed. "It is cake." Confusion was

Zoe could see now that she had gotten all of Mario’s attention after mentioning his brother. The resemblance between the two brothers was there except for their difference in body size. Mario seemed like someone who spent too much time in the gym with the look of all that muscle. He walked closer to her bed and threw sleeping Maria a glance. "I do not know who your brother is," Mario said. "But I would advice he stops working with Lucien. He brings nothing but trouble." "I have been trying to talk him out of it, but his mind has been set. He is one stubborn kid." He stared at her baby blankly. Zoe smiled at how peacefully Maria was sleeping. "She is an angel." "Where is the father?" He asked gruffly. Zoe had done a good job forgetting about Henry for a while, but Mario just ruined it. "Me and her father are no longer together." "Sounds tragic," Mario commented. "Did something terrible happen?"It would have even been better if she caught him with a woman. But blatantly ignori

(FIVE YEARS LATER)Five years without Henry seemed to have healed Zoe’s heartbreak. Maria was five now and a bundle of joy in Zoe’s life. She was starting kindergarten today, unable to conceal her excitement about going to school for the first time. "I am going to make a lot of friends!" Maria declared at the dining table that morning when they were all having breakfast. Zoe smiled back at her. "Of course you would. Everyone is going to love you." "Uncle Leo would not be my only friend anymore. He is getting too old for me." "I am not old," Leo said."You are. I want friends my own age. You never join me in my tea party because they are not for grownups." Zoe chuckled at that. Maria was smart for her age, and oddly outspoken. Zoe felt it was natural for kids that age to be talkative and inquisitive. But Maria was extraordinary. "Eat up quickly or you would be late on your first day," Zoe told her as the little girl nodded. She was going to drop Maria at school and resume work
