“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

Daemon lifts the bags of food in his hand the moment he sees her go out of the gate of her family's mansion to meet him outside.He called her to inform him that he already arrived.“I brought you food.” In a daze, she stares at his smiling face who tries hard to cover up the sadness and bitterness behind them. She now realized more than ever that both of them were so similar with each other given their respective circumstances. “Come on, let’s go home so we can eat,” he said and smiled at her.Devon, in a burst of emotions after spending a day in their dark gloomy house ran towards her husband who welcomed her with open arms. “Did something happen?” he asked, worried when sensing the turmoil in her presence. She looked up to him and nodded. “I’ll tell you when we get home. I just want to get out of this place.”“Come on.” Daemon took her hands in his and pulled her towards his car. “I think they’re going to move Lucy to another place. They look threatened,” she said in between m

It’s been a week since Devon began going to her family's house to investigate the whereabouts of her child in the pretense that she wants to fix her relationship with her parents but until now, no significant changes have been uncovered.Daemon always accompanies her to keep up the act no matter how her father tries to reject their presence. On their third day, Gestoni even threatened to kill Daemon in front of them and it could have ended really bad had it not been for her intervention. She got on his way saying he should kill his daughter first and his grandson. Devon sees no reason to stop now. She doesn’t lose hope. She can observe from her family’s demeanor that they are trying to hide something from her. “Devon, is it okay for you to stay here in the house while I’m away?” Melena asked her that afternoon while she’s in the guest room reading a book.“It’s okay. I’ll just be here,” she replied.It would be to her advantage being alone in the house. She could freely search their

“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. I know what it feels to have your child taken away from you. I won’t do that to you, Sylvia. Just please, show her to

“D-Daemon, am I going crazy? What if they’re telling the truth? What if it’s just in my head? W-What if our Emily is really dead and it is just me who can’t move on?”Daemon runs to his wife’s side when he hears that. They decided to go home after what happened at Brian’s house to avoid any further conflicts. “I believe in you, Devon.” He hugs her tightly. God knows how much he wanted to trade her pain for all that he had now. Seeing her every day suffering longing for their daughter makes him think how useless he is as a man.He got the money and influence and yet he is still failing every day from finding Emily. “They have our child. Let’s keep trying to find her. Let’s hold on no matter what.”She bit her lips and avoided his eyes. “But I am slowly getting tired, Daemon. No matter how I try to hold on to hope that my daughter is alive, all of the things I learned and encountered told me she’s gone already.”“You are definitely allowed to get tired, Devon. No one here is as invinc

In the lavish halls of a botanical garden, a party is being held where a large exchange of smuggled goods is happening in the guise of a charity party. 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. Daemon noticed that and gently tugged at her forward. He leaned closer to her ear and whispered, “Eyes on the fro
