As Gideon was busy making bold declarations, a mature voice interrupted filled with amusement. “Here I was wondering where my son had wandered off to, only to find him simping over a pretty woman as usual!”Gideon turned and grabbed his mother’s hand with quite some seriousness. “Mom, I wanna marry the one who looks like Princess Jasmine!”Giovanni, his mother, glanced past her son at Anastasia who was half-hidden behind Damien. A chuckle escaped her lips as she remarked, “Son, don’t even think about that one. He cried his heart out for ten years to get her. That one is way too expensive for you.”Her gaze then shifted to Adeline who stood quietly beside Anastasia, looking slightly out of place. Giovanni’s eyes widened with recognition. “Damn, is that Adeline Kingsley in the flesh?”Adeline blinked, surprised. “You know me?”Giovanni smirked. “Girl, the whole world knows you.”Adeline smiled politely. “We have spoken over the phone. I’m Gideon’s friend.”Giovanni’s face lit up with pr

In the washroom, Regina was bent over the sink while throwing up. Anastasia didn’t realize someone was already inside. She thought about leaving but really needed to use the toilet. Since Regina was using the sink, Anastasia quickly slipped into the toilet.When she came out, she saw Regina sitting on a stool, looking completely exhausted. Without saying a word, Anastasia pulled out a small bottle handed it to her and avoided eye contact. Regina raised an eyebrow but took the bottle but was curious about Anastasia’s sudden gesture. A faint smile tugged at her lips at the awkwardness of it all.She took a small sip and immediately felt some relief from the awful taste in her mouth. Surprised by how good it made her feel, she gulped down the rest of the liquid.“What is this?” Regina asked, her nausea easing for the first time in hours.“I experimented with some herbs,” Anastasia said simply. “I made it for Adeline because she had bad nausea all the time due to her pregnancy and so I ke

Adeline didn’t find anything suspicious at first while scrolling through Ronan’s phone. But then, she noticed the hidden folder option. Her heart raced as she selected it and, once again, used his face ID to unlock it.The folder opened, and Adeline froze in shock. It was packed with pictures of her—pictures that weren’t publicly available, ones she had only shared with her online friend. There were more than a thousand of them. He had saved every photo she sent, even the random ones. Not just that, but quotes she liked, screenshots of things she shared, everything was there. It was as if it was his second life that he was hiding from everyone. Her chest tightened as she scrolled through the images. A mix of emotions flooded her including anger, betrayal, and disbelief.She clicked on the social media app they used to chat back then. Two accounts were logged in. one was his personal account and the other was that she recognised. Her hands trembled as she opened the one she recognised

At that moment, two powerful figures entered the living room,their presence instantly drew attention. They stopped briefly, taking in the shocking sight of a furious young woman who was swinging a baseball bat at Ronan who was the pride and apple of their family.Matteo Arnello’s face contorted with rage. “Anastasia Spencer, you are crossing the line!” he roared. “If you lay another hand on my son, I swear you will regret it!”Anastasia whose eyes were burning with anger, didn’t back down. She tightened her grip on the bat and turned to face him head-on. “Oh yeah?” she shot back defiantly. “Bring it on, Matteo Arnello. I’m not scared of you!”“Guards!” Matteo bellowed, his voice reverberated through the room.Sensing the situation spiralling out of control, Damien gently handed Adeline over to Caleb and stepped forward to stand beside Anastasia. His expression was calm as he addressed Matteo. “With all due respect, sir, my wife isn’t wrong.”Matteo’s glare shifted to Damien, disbelief

With breakfast wrapping up, everyone split up to handle different tasks for Adeline’s new house. Austin called the interior designer to make sure the house reflected Adeline’s personal style. Abel and Caleb found work around the house, checking in on the progress as the workers worked. Meanwhile, Anastasia, Damien, and Adeline headed to the mall to buy things for the baby’s nursery.As they walked through the store, Adeline turned to Anastasia, her tone thoughtful. “Anna, what colour should we decorate the baby’s nursery?”Damien, who had been walking beside them, raised an eyebrow. “Why are you asking her? You can decide for yourself.”Adeline smiled at him, then turned back to Anastasia. “You see, Anna already knows the baby’s gender. And I have been so overwhelmed with the pregnancy that I forgot we need to think about the nursery, too. My brain is stuck between blue and pink. So, I thought I would ask for her opinion.”Damien said, “You know the gender?”Anastasia nodded. Damien
