“Ma’am, Devon, this came in the mail today. It’s for you.”A helper handed her a parcel while she’s sitting on the sofa in the living room trying to plan her next move. She’s been doing her best to try to find evidence that her brother’s daughter is Emily but so far, she can’t find any. Daemon checked if Brian or any of her family left the country but no one went abroad.So now they’re in a quagmire on what to do next. Would they continue chasing after her brother or would they move on to the next step?“For me?”“Yes, ma’am.”“Oh, thank you.”She got it and inspected the package. Her name as receiver is listed but the sender is anonymous.“What is this? Should I open it? What if it’s something dangerous?”She quickly set aside her doubts and proceeded into tearing the side of the packet. It’s an envelope and there’s a note attached on the paper.“This is a DNA test result we conducted to prove that our child is mine, Devon. I know what you’re feeling now. It must have been horrible

“Mr. Druft, we have a search warrant. Our operation is legal. We’ll arrest you for obstructing authorities if you keep to be on our way.”He locked eyes with the police, threatening the chief officer while the latter is trying his best not to get intimidated. They’re in his Druft tower conducting a search operation after a court ordered it. Of course, Daemon is not naïve to read that the ruling is influenced by someone who knows him, maybe an enemy but always a close friend. He hitched the police’s collar prompting his men to aim their guns at him. “Who ordered this? Tell me. Is it the Farrows? Maddy? The senator? Tell me Lucas or else I will not spare you and your family.”Lucas just sighed and pushed him away and then looked at the other officers. “Take him out of here.”He resisted and was about to grab his gun to fight back when Lucas put a sense on his head. “Daemon, we’re just here to do our work. Nothing personal. Come on, man!”He has no choice but to leave them alone. Lucas

Her hands are cold inside his clasp while inside the car. They’re outside the Farrows mansion to get their plan going. Daemon’s private army on standby for possible hostilities. “You can do it, Devon. For Emily,” Daemon motivated his wife when she trembled under his touch. “You’re not alone. Whatever happens, know that I’m here beside you.”She met his soft gaze. His words comforted her knowing that she’ll not be alone in facing her family this time. She lost count how many times she wished for this to happen and now it’s finally happening. “O-Okay. Thank you so much.”Hand in hand, they got out of the car and rang the bell. A heavily armed man opened the gate for them with his gun aiming at Daemon’s head.“Freeze!” he yelled at Daemon. “I want to see my mother. I’m here to visit her,” Devon said in a calm tone despite her hand chilling in his grip.“I’ll put that gun down if I were you,” Daemon said without any sound of fear in his voice.With his towering height and muscular body,

“Sir Daemon, we have located Erick.”From intently looking at the documents he gathered on the narcotics business of the Farrows, he looked at Elon, his systems operations manager he gave a task to look into the accident years ago. The man he’s been looking for since the disappearance of Devon finally came to the surface. The driver of the car that’s been in the accident. He survived the wreck according to an intel report he received but he was unable to track him all this time.“After all these years? And you only managed to find him by now? Are you all really that incompetent?” He lit a cigarette and glanced at the photo frame of Devon and Emily on his desk that he kept for years. “Where is he?”“Sir, we didn’t find him. He turned himself in and recorded a video for you.”“Where is he?” he repeated himself and stood to get his coat. He’ll deal with the man face to face. "I will talk to him personally.”Elon placed a flash drive on his desk. “Sir, he died by suicide this morning aft

“What are you doing here?”Devon froze on the spot when her mother caught her in the act of opening one of the drawers in the master’s bedroom. She decided to stay in the house while Daemon is in his office to start her investigation. “Nothing.” She pushed back the drawer and smile at her mother. “I was just looking around. I never knew that I missed being here in the house so much.” To further convince Melena, she acted like tearing up. “I…” she made her voice quivered, “I missed being here, mom.” She touched her flat belly and pretended to caress the imaginary bump there. “I want my child to be able to freely run here which I did not experienced before as your child.”Melena walked to her side and held her hands in her. “Devon, my lovely daughter. Can we leave that all behind? Please, forgive us for all our lacking as parents back then. Let’s start anew now, can we? We will try hard to cater you and Daemon to this family even though it’s very difficult.”“How about dad? Will he be

“What are you doing here, Devon?!”Sylvia pulled her arm to make her stand. “I’m asking you! What are you doing here in our room?” She looked at the mess with an open mouth. “What did you do?!”In retaliation, Devon twisted Sylvia’s hand on her arm and choked her. “Where is my daughter?! Where is my Emily?! Give her back to me!”Coughing, Sylvia was able to break free from her steely grip and stepped back. “You are really going nuts! I knew it all along that you were just acting! I told you already! Lucy is my daughter! She is not yours!”“Then let me see her! Show her to me!” she challenged her in her last effort to ditch her horrible acting. “That’s the only time I’m going to believe you.”“I can’t let you! You are going to take her away from us!”Sylvia ran to the door but she outran her and was able to block the door before she was able to open it. “No, I won’t.

Devon, for the first time since she became Daemon’s wife, came into the party with her husband by her side. It’s her first public appearance since she disappeared. Everybody is looking at them weirdly as they emerged from the Porsche and gave the valet their key. They entered the venue with all the eyes on them as the guests are whispering to each other. “Gosh, are they the people I think they are?”“Daemon Druft and Devon Farrows? I thought she’s dead?!”“Right, so what really happened to them?”“So the rumors are true that both of them is still married?!”“She’s alive all along?!”“In fairness, they look good together!”“Do they already have a child already?”Devon stopped walking and looked at the woman who said that.
