Kate drove to Rolly’s apartment, humming to the music playing on the car stereo. She couldn’t wait to share the good news with her friend. As soon as she parked, she grabbed her phone and called Rolly.“I’m outside your apartment ,” Kate said excitedly.In less than a minute, Rolly opened the door, grinning. “Come in, come in! What’s with the happy face?”Kate stepped inside and shut the door behind her. “Guess what? I just left Mrs. Winters’ house, and everything went perfectly. Ryan’s parents are totally on my side now.”Rolly’s eyes widened. “No way! How did you pull it off?”Kate flopped onto the couch, kicking off her heels. “I told her about the pregnancy and put on some tears. She bought it all! Ryan didn’t stand a chance. His mom even told him there won’t be any hospital tests.”Rolly burst into laughter. “Oh my God, you’re a genius! Ryan must be fuming right now.”Kate smirked. “Oh, he is. He stormed out like a little boy. But I won!”Rolly clapped her hands. “This calls for

Kate was lounging on the couch in her silk nightwear, enjoying a glass of wine, when the sharp knock at her door startled her. She frowned, placing the glass down, and walked toward the door. Peeking through the peephole, her eyes widened in surprise. Ryan? At this hour?Taking a deep breath, she opened the door and saw him standing there, his jaw clenched tightly, eyes burning with anger. “Ryan?” she said, feigning surprise. “What are you doing here so late?”Ryan stepped inside without waiting for an invitation, his eyes scanning the living room before turning back to her. “What were you thinking, Kate?” he snapped, his voice cold. “You went to Serena’s house?!”Kate blinked in confusion, clutching the hem of her robe. “What are you talking about?” she asked innocently, trying to play dumb. “I didn’t—”Ryan cut her off, his voice rising. “Don’t lie to me, Kate! I know you went there and confronted her! What gives you the right to do that?”Kate’s heart pounded in her chest,

Ryan sat at his desk, his head buried in paperwork, trying to drown out the thoughts that had been plaguing him since his confrontation with Serena. His jaw clenched as flashes of the scene played in his mind—the way she had dismissed him, the smug look of the man who had defended her, and the way she had coldly ended things between them. He cursed under his breath and ran a hand through his hair.A knock on the door pulled him out of his thoughts.“Come in,” he said, his voice gruff.Jefferson, his assistant, walked in with a polite nod. “Sir, your meeting with the board is set to begin in a few minutes. They’re waiting for you in the boardroom.”Ryan sighed, leaning back in his chair. “Right. I almost forgot.”Jefferson cleared his throat. “It’s an important one, sir. They’ll be discussing the quarterly projections and future investments.”Ryan waved him off. “Yeah, yeah, I’ll be there.”Jefferson hesitated. “Shall I get your files ready?”Ryan stood up, adjusting his suit. “No

David adjusted his tie and looked Ryan straight in the eyes. His voice was calm but firm. “Mr. Winters, I’ll get straight to the point. If you don’t hand Amy over to her mother right now, this situation will escalate into a legal nightmare for you.”Ryan’s jaw tightened, his fists curling at his sides. “Are you seriously threatening me, Mr… Whatever?” he asked coldly.David gave a small, confident smile. “Not a threat, just a fact. You see, Serena has full custody of Amy. You taking her without permission can be seen as abduction, Ryan. And trust me, that’s not a battle you want to fight—not in court, not in the media.”Kate, standing beside Ryan with her arms crossed, scoffed loudly. “Oh please! Serena always plays the victim, doesn’t she?” She rolled her eyes and smirked. “She’s just being dramatic. You have every right to see your daughter, Ryan. She’s your flesh and blood.” Kate uttered, acting all supportive.Serena, standing on the doorstep with David by her side, held her

Serena and Amy arrived at the amusement park, the bright lights and cheerful music filling the air with excitement. Amy’s eyes sparkled with joy as she looked around at all the colorful rides and the children running around. Serena smiled, glad to see her daughter so happy.Just as Serena was about to take Amy’s hand and walk in, her phone buzzed with a message. It was from Nathan.Nathan: I’m here. Where are you?Serena scanned the crowd, looking around until she spotted him standing near the entrance, dressed casually in jeans and a black t-shirt. He waved at her with a smile.“Is that him, Mommy?” Amy pointed excitedly at Nathan as she asked.“Yes, let’s go meet him,” Serena said, taking Amy’s hand as they walked over.When they reached him, Nathan crouched down to Amy’s level and smiled warmly. “Hi, Amy! I’ve heard so much about you from your mommy.”Amy giggled, her small face lighting up. “Hi! Mommy said you’re her friend. You look handsome, but not like my daddy.”Serena’s
