"What leads you to believe he's unable to be a father anymore?" Alice's face contorted in confusion as she asked."In the accident, his reproductive system suffered irreversible damage, rendering him unable to father a child. This explains why he's so determined to find Monica and their baby. He had no knowledge of Monica's health, her demise, or the baby's whereabouts. If he discovers that the child is with us, being the biological father, he may make efforts to reclaim her, putting us at a disadvantage."Andrew shared the intelligence he'd obtained through his spy. A frigid breath escaped him as he stated, "Monica's assessment of him was accurate. He had no real concern, only a desire to take her baby."Alice stood up, her voice nervous yet determined. "This is utter nonsense! He can't just take my child away. She belongs with me. Monica entrusted me with her care after giving birth."Swiftly, she scooped the baby from the cradle, clutching her tightly against her chest, inadvertent

"Mia, stop right there! Come back immediately. What in the world are you going on about?" Martin yelled, yet Mia remained unfazed.He stood up with the intention of following her, but Marie intervened. "Martin, chill out. There's no need to get all worked up for no reason.""Mom, what's with her behavior? Why the heck was she talking about breaking up? Is she losing it?" Martin became anxious all over again."Dad, calm down. It's their business; we shouldn't intervene. They probably had a disagreement; they'll work it out themselves. Their long relationships don't let them split over trivial things," Andrew said, handing Martin a glass of water."Dad, Andrew made sense. Let's give Mia some time to reflect on it, or I'll have a discussion with her."Martin found solace in Alice's reassurance, exhaling a long breath. "Yes, Alice, please go ahead. This situation is giving me quite a scare.""Okay, Dad. Take a deep breath. I'll address this with her now."Alice sprang to her feet and hurr

The entire poolside was transformed into a stunning party venue, adorned with an array of white and red balloons, delicate light pink curtains, and cascading strings. The ambiance exuded a sense of festivity, akin to a special occasion. Behind every pair of chairs stood a collection of cherished photographs, narrating the stories of each couple.The cute decorations brought a smile to Alice's face, but her mood soured as she walked into the crowd and heard unkind remarks about it."Ahh, what's wrong with Dad, the red heart-shaped balloon? Are we celebrating Valentine's Day or something?" Bella exclaimed, eyeing the decorations with disdain.Mia's discontent was palpable. "The balloon's alright, but why the couple mementos? Is this a romantic rendezvous or a family gathering?" Her irritation heightened as she gazed at the picture of her and Vicky, with him holding her in a moment of vulnerability. "Why bother when you're clueless, and who in the world took these pictures of me?"As Mia

A year and a half had passed, witnessing a slew of changes. Emma is now well into her second year, having celebrated her first birthday with great fanfare, thanks to Andrew and Alice's personal touch. While they are now more comfortable introducing her to their acquaintances, they remain cautious about media exposure and paparazzi attention.The ever-energetic Emma now zooms around on her tiny feet, turning the entire mansion into her playground and giving her nanny quite a run. She reserves her most courteous behavior exclusively for Andrew.Bella and Asher entered marital bliss a long time ago, whereas Benjamin and Skylar recently tied the knot just a couple of months ago. Vicky and Mia have taken a significant step forward by getting engaged and are currently enjoying their live-in arrangement. They are still contemplating the idea of formalizing their union through marriage.Andrew's multiple managers take care of his professional commitments, allowing him to focus more on spendin

The room fell into stillness as Benjamin turned off the TV, finally escaping the clamor of unnecessary news. Just then, Skylar barged in, clearly annoyed, her phone refusing to stop ringing."Why the hesitation? Just answer the call," Benjamin advised, pointing at her phone."I think I'll pass. I'm just too furious," Skylar remarked, sliding the red button to disconnect the call, leaving others taken aback by her unprofessional demeanor. This is out of character for her."Now, what's wrong with you?" Alice wondered aloud, arching an eyebrow."Since the news hit the airwaves, my phone hasn't stopped ringing with calls from either managers or assistants of directors and production houses, all expressing interest in launching Emma.""This is exasperating! Alice, I've been telling you. These news channels need a reality check," Andrew voiced his frustration."Andrew, directing your anger this way will only harm someone who's not involved, and the actual culprit will go free. Who do you wa
