[Brandon: What the hell? How could he do this to you! Well, for now, the important thing is we meet first, then we'll find a solution together. I'm waiting for you at the place we agreed on. Okay?][My Tera: Okay, wait for me. I'll leave when Nora is in class.]Brandon sat restlessly in the quiet park. Today, he had deliberately taken the day off work because he had a long-awaited appointment with the woman he had missed all this time. Brandon couldn't stop reading every message that the woman sent him this morning. It was like a bombshell that had drastically dented his spirits, even though they had agreed to soar freely into the sky, leaving behind all the sadness that had ensnared hope.Just from her voice, Brandon knew that the woman needed help. Tera was standing on the brink of a very thin and worrying edge. As her special man, Brandon knew parts of Tera's family story and what made it so difficult for her to have a normal romantic relationship.Brandon and Tera were two sides o

The more time passed, the more the woman spiraled out of control. The more Sebastian pushed, the further she crossed her boundaries.Tera ignored all of Sebastian's pleas for forgiveness that night. She left Sebastian, who was kneeling with tears streaming down his face, without a hint of emotion. Sebastian was left with his pleas for Tera to forgive him, for the pain he had inflicted.Sebastian couldn't handle the jealousy coursing through his veins. He couldn't bear to see Tera dating other men. It was not just Brandon Dexter; now, even that scoundrel Ramon became a target of Tera's revenge.Tuan Lim couldn't handle this situation any longer. He wouldn't be able to remain sane watching his wife date various men. This time it was Brandon, and who knew who would be next on Tera's list. Sebastian couldn't predict because it only meant deeper heartache.Sebastian was trapped in this heartbreaking situation. He was expected to be a father to his two children and a sane husband while his

Tera's condition was not improving; she kept withdrawing in fear every time Sebastian appeared before her. To her, Sebastian seemed like a terrifying and dangerous monster, making her unwilling to see her husband.Sebastian had sought medical treatment and consultations with Dr. Jenny for Tera, but despite multiple meetings, nothing changed. Instead of becoming calmer, Tera increasingly expressed her desire for separation from Sebastian. Mrs. Lim couldn't bear to be at home, even in the same room as her husband.That night, after Nora had gone to sleep, Tera packed all her belongings, particularly those she had owned before marrying Sebastian, leaving behind anything Sebastian had given her. She pulled out two large suitcases from their house. She was determined to leave the Lim residence that night, and no servant or guard could stop her. Tera had called a taxi driver who had helped her before. He parked his car in the Lim mansion's main lobby.However, her departure plans coincided

Sebastian hid Nora away from Viona and Stevan Gunardi in the cabin seats. He had no intention of introducing Nora to Viona because he felt that his little girl wasn't ready to accept new people into her life just yet. Sebastian believed that Nora was still too sad over Tera's departure, and she might reject anyone who came near her. It was evident in the way she clung to him, not wanting to talk to anyone else. She had turned incredibly quiet, and this behavior was strange for Sebastian to witness.He had questioned Sofia about what had happened during the past few days, and Sofia had explained everything to him. She described how Nora had cried a lot and had been looking for her parents but hadn't found them. Nora's curiosity about what had been happening had led her to overhear servants discussing all the changes in the Lim family mansion. Some of the comments indicated that Tera must be happy now that she was free from the Lim family and no longer had to deal with troublesome child

DNA testing takes a long time, especially when conducted at three different locations. The tests are carried out rigorously, legally, and fairly with the utmost secrecy. Sebastian's DNA sample is taken by Viona, a lawyer, and Mrs. Herlinda, while Stevan's sample is collected later. These collections are not done simultaneously.Stevan and Sebastian are not related.Sebastian watches from a distance so Stevan remains unaware.The sampling is completed at three different facilities within a week. Sebastian then focuses on a message from his mother. He hires four detectives to track down his past dating partners. Some of his exes have changed their phone numbers or addresses, prompting him to accelerate the search by hiring multiple detectives. For those who still use the same phone, Sebastian contacts them directly and arranges meetings to ensure they don't have his DNA. He also apologizes for any emotional pain he caused them in the past.Thanks to following Mrs. Herlinda's advice and
