Suddenly, the smile on Peter's face was gone the moment Axel mentioned the spiral.He smiled bitterly, shaking his head. "Sometimes, when men are in love, they lower their guard down, lose track of time, lose their concentration and priorities in life, and only focus on the happiness that a woman brought into their lives. We travel a lot, visit exotic destinations, and Meghan would ask me money to buy expensive bags, shoes, and other women's luxurious addictions.""Until one day, I realized my business was tanking because I had already used the money to finance our extravagant lifestyle. The old me is lost, and the new me rules the world. That is my weakness. And if I can only turn back time, I would never fall in love with Meghan because she is the reason why I lose focus on my life's vision. Now, the only thing left in me is a broken heart and a bankrupt business," Peter said in a wretched tone, looking depressed and broken.Axel stared at Peter for a long time, trying to analyze whe

The following day. The couple ate breakfast together in the dining room. Axel eyed his wife, silently eating her food. "Let's discuss our alibi and why you went on a holiday alone. I'm sure they would ask you if we quarreled or not. It would be unwise to reveal our divorce plan during the birthday party. So how will you answer their question?" he asked curiously. "Why are you interested in what my answer will be?" Sherry said. "Because I'm still your husband even though you already found a new replacement for me," he said, trying to bait her into revealing her secret. Sherry breathed deeply. "I will tell my family that you are denying me sex, and I desperately want to have a baby with you. So after quarreling with you about it, I went for a holiday to clear my mind," she explained. Axel chuckled. "What? Are you going to tell them that lame alibi of yours?" "Why not? It's the truth! It happened before I went for a holiday, and you can't deny it!" She glared at him. Axel grinned a

The following day, the couple woke up to a new day; as the sun rose on the horizon, they left their bed and started their day.Sherry used the bathroom first, followed by Axel.Afterward, they leave the room to join the others downstairs.But Axel blocked the door. "Wife, we need to talk about something..."Sherry raised a brow. "What is it this time?"Axel pointed to the bed. "Just sit on the bed first, and I will tell you about my plans."Sherry sighed and obeyed his order. "Say it now," she said impatiently.Axel lowered himself on the chair and looked at his wife in the eyes. "Hon, give me one month. One month is all I need to fix this mess. All you need to do is hang on a little bit longer. I know I've been hard on you. I hurt you so bad. I'm sorry for that, I really do," he said thoughtfully.Sherry meets her husband's gaze with contempt. "So what do you want?""Let's just continue playing a loving couple for now. After I get the DNA test result of the baby, I will decide what's

The following day, after breakfast, Axel informed his wife through text that he would only return home if the paternity testing was finished. Sherry replied with a short good luck message. Meghan and Axel get dressed to go to the hospital. Axel already had booked a schedule with his physician cousin, who oversees the paternity testing department in the St. Mary Of Mercy hospital. Their appointment will be at 10:00 in the morning. They are going to a public place, so Meghan has to wear a headwrap and oversized sunglasses to hide her face. They can't be seen entering the hospital together to avoid being seen by any of Axel and Sherry's family because it will create massive chaos. Since Axel is close to his cousin, he convinced him to keep his appointment a secret from their friends, families, and relatives. After explaining his side thoroughly, the cousin agreed that as long as no one sees them together entering the hospital and the room testing, then everything will be fine. Megha

After a silent yet tense filled ride, Axel and Peter finally arrived at the majestic resort.Axel parked his car outside the driveway of the villa.Meghan rushed outside when she heard the sounds of Axel's car parking outside. She went to the car, excited to see him. To her surprise, not only Axel exited the vehicle, but Peter, as well.Confusion marred her pretty face. Huh? What's going on?"Why is he here?" she asked in puzzlement, looking at Axel then to Peter. A deep frown appeared on her forehead."Let's get inside," Axel replied grimly, heading to the door.Annoyed that Axel seemed to be ignoring her, she looked at Peter. "Why are you here? What are you doing here? We're already over a long time ago," she asked irritably.Peter sighed heavily. "You will know everything why I'm here. Let's just get inside the house," he said calmly, ignoring her cold reception of his presence.Annoyed, Meghan turned around and entered the villa, gritting her teeth angrily.They settled on the sof
