Xoan's implication was clear.'You chose not to leave, so this isn't on me.'Unable to muster a response, Wrenley began to cry."That's enough," Yaslyn murmured, "Your grandfather will be here to get you soon."She tried offering Wrenley some tissues, but the latter swatted them away, her voice quivering angrily."I don't need your fake pity."Xoan, observing Wrenley's indignant reaction, remarked icily, "If I'd known you'd be this way, I'd have knocked you out when we brought you here."Each word he spoke, each hint of his disdain, struck Wrenley deeply.Xoan took Yaslyn by the hand without sparing Wrenley another glance, leading her out of the room. They did not bother locking the door behind them since Wrenley would leave soon.Approximately thirty minutes later, a representative from the influential Jurado clan arrived to pick up Wrenley. Following the agreement, they brought along a woman whose appearance was disheveled, with her once elegant features marred by smudges an

The inherent difference in strength between men and women became painfully evident.Given Kadesha's frail constitution, she felt utterly defenseless in the face of the brute force bearing down on her. Tears traced a salty path from her eyes, wetting the corners of her lips."Please, stop this," she pleaded, her voice barely a whisper.However, to an intoxicated man, her pleas were inconsequential. He overpowered Kadesha, pinning her to the ground. As he pushed her down, her head struck the ground sharply. Dizziness overwhelmed her, and darkness consumed her senses. She lost consciousness.When she woke up later, she found herself in a hospital bed feeling weaker than ever. Gathered around her were members of the Carden family, their expressions marred with distress. Above all, Mr. York Carden's eyes shimmered with unshed tears."Kedesha," he whispered, choking back emotions. "I'm so sorry."Though the weight of anguish bore down on Kadesha, she mustered a calm demeanor. However,

After the chaotic whirlwind that tore through her early life, Kadesha found solace in simplicity."When I left all that behind, I took the most ordinary job. The pay was modest, but it kept me fed and sheltered. Life was stable, but it didn't stay that way for long."That street punk's family hounded me again, demanding protection money. When I refused, they made life unbearable. So, out of sheer desperation, I became a street sweeper."Yaslyn looked at the resilient face before her. Time had played its part, but Kadesha still held a semblance of her former beauty. Yaslyn's heart clenched, thinking of the trials Kadesha had endured.Kadesha's voice trembled as she spoke."One day, I was suddenly ambushed and knocked unconscious. When I came to, I found myself naked and bound to a surgical table. They told me that there was something unique about my blood, something invaluable for their nefarious experiments. I attempted to break free, resisting with every ounce of strength. In res

It was quite a difficult request. The young intern's brow furrowed, a struggle evident on his face. "There are regulations, you know. Personal DNA results aren't to be shared."Yerick was disappointed. The intern, misconstruing the emotion as directed toward him, hurriedly corrected himself."If you really want to see, I suppose... I could make an exception."Any other day, with any other person, he would have held his ground firmly, no budging, no bowing. However, it was Yerick—an overwhelming presence—someone he just could not deny.The intern looked around nervously and warned Yerick, "However, you can't mention that you saw these files. My job could be at stake."With a measure of discretion, he handed over the file that Xoan had provided earlier. He whispered, "Make it quick. The director will be making his rounds soon."Yerick gave a brief nod, glancing over the document with a swiftness that spoke of practiced ease. He then slid it back as if nothing had transpired."Alri

Kadesha stumbled, her balance faltering, and she collapsed onto the sofa. As her face turned an ashen shade and her breathing labored, Yaslyn quickly sat beside her, gently rubbing her back."Mom, don't fret so much over this. Maybe it's not as bad as you're imagining."Xoan tried to be the voice of reason. "Mrs. Carden, there's no need for distress. Yaslyn's genetics are exceptional, indicative of a good lineage. The man you were with must've been someone remarkable."Kadesha glanced at Yaslyn and consoled herself, "Yes, to give birth to such an outstanding child, he must indeed have been extraordinary."However, the idea that she, as a woman, had unknowingly had a child with another man was a stain on her honor."Let's hope so..."With a heavy sigh, Kadesha's eyes welled up, her tears streaming down her face."Mom, we'll uncover the truth about that time," Yaslyn promised.Debating internally, Kadesha was not sure if she wanted the past uncovered. After decades, would that ma
