“The twin-girls poll seems to be taking the lead as more well-wishers appear to believe that the Beaumont babies are going to be shrouded in pink swaddles when they’re born. This speculation was fuelled by a report from a source close to the family who revealed exclusively to us yesterday that Emilia Beaumont’s personal shopper was at the family mansion early in the week with what looked like bags of pink baby attires.”“Gosh, these people are clowns!” Chloe laughed and switched off the TV. “The way they make up fake stories with so much confidence is amazing.”“That’s why you should never believe everything the media tells you,” said Emilia as she folded another outfit and placed it inside her suitcase.“Aren’t you too rich to be packing your own bags?” Her sister asked.“I don’t mind. I find it therapeutic.”Chloe sniffed. “Can nev

“I know we’ve had this conversation before but I think it’s time for us to go back home,” said Emilia.“This is home,” Kane replied with a mischievous grin.“You know what I mean.”He chuckled. “Feeling homesick, are you?”“Yes.”It was two months before the twins’ first birthday and Emilia would rather they had the party in the Beaumont mansion in the U.S. instead of their secluded island home. She was an introvert who enjoyed solitude but she’d had enough of this off-the-grid living.“Well, if I’m being honest, I miss home too,” Kane admitted. “I miss my office and those face-to-face meetings with my employees. Video calling simply can’t replace the real thing.”“So you were homesick too and just waiting for me to say something first.”“Well…”Emilia laughed. “I&rs

They arrived home and found two police cars parked in front of the mansion with their red and blue lights flashing. Both of them were instantly worried and got out of the Rolls Royce as soon as the car pulled to a stop.“What’s going on? What happened?” Emilia asked, racing toward the policemen standing near the open front door.“Good evening, Mrs Beaumont,” one of them greeted her. “Please, be calm.”“Why are you guys here?” Kane asked too.“Let’s go inside, please,” a female cop said and tried to lead Emilia inside.“No! Tell me what happened right now!”“You’re back,” said Elsie, coming outside. She looked upset and her usually impeccable makeup was ruined with tears. “Please, come inside and sit down.”Kane followed his mother in and Emilia followed suit too. The suspense was killing them but it seemed that everyone wa

Kane’s head was throbbing when he woke up. His back ached and his mouth felt heavy. He yawned and tried to roll over but he bumped into soft, warm flesh.His eyes cleared immediately and he blinked when he saw a naked woman lying beside him. He was even more horrified when he realized that he too was naked and they were lying down on the floor of his study.“What the hell?” He cursed and sat up.Serena woke up and smiled at him. “Good morning, handsome.”“What the hell are you doing here?”Her smile faltered. “I came here to keep you company last night when you were lonely and we made love twice.”Kane nearly fainted. His life was over!“That’s not possible,” he whispered in denial. “I couldn’t have done that.”“You did!” Serena fired back sharply. She was starting to lose her temper.“I have no recollection of eve

Kane returned home with his tail between his legs. The trip to Florida had been a complete waste of time.The street urchin who was using Joyce’s card couldn’t remember where he stole it from her. He was so high that he was barely coherent.“Please, come back home quickly,” His mother had told him on the phone. “Emilia is ill again. We’ve sent for the doctor to come and check her but I think you need to be here too.”He’d gotten on his private jet as soon as he could, leaving Detective Riley behind to continue with the investigation. As soon as he arrived at the Beaumont mansion, a maid was waiting at the doorway with a sealed note in her hand.“What’s this?” He asked distastefully when she presented the note to him.He wasn’t in the mood to look through the utility bills. That was Lillian’s job.“It’s a note for you, sir,” said the maid. “Miss Filipe instructed me to give it to you. She said it is a very important message which you must receive as soon as you arrive.”He snatched the
