Narrator: EmilyI've talked to Paige, and I can tell she's sad and distracted, more thoughtful than before. She's probably feeling this way because of Simba. She insists that everything is fine and that she's planning a trip to see us. That's good; I miss her, even though it hasn't been long since she left.As for my investigation, everything is going great. I haven't found any evidence yet, but my suspicions are becoming more certain.The wedding is all set. My son is not thrilled about getting married, but I don't want to reveal my plans to him because he won't agree. My husband mentioned the idea of signing a prenuptial agreement to him, something he didn't take well. Although after explaining to him how much money we have and that we're entrusting our entire fortune to him, he agreed on the condition that we won't give half to his new wife.I can't even imagine how Peyton will react when she finds out about this.The wedding is not real; it's all a show to make that woman believe

Narrates Paige:After the check-up, my friend makes me laugh with her antics, as our friends and even Lucas are waiting for us at her house.I greet everyone with a smile, happy about the surprise. I didn't expect this to happen."Surprise!" John and Matthew shout, while Lucas simply smiles upon seeing me."Thanks, guys, but it wasn't necessary," I blush, being the center of attention."Sweetie, it's not for you, it's for the baby," John says, caressing my belly."Well, you change quickly," I pretend to be offended."Don't be mean, you know that whatever she feels, the baby feels too. You know we adore you, and this surprise is for both of you. We love you," Matthew says."Thank you, I know. It's just that sometimes I'm more sensitive and prone to tears," I reply, hiding the tears that want to escape."Sweetie, don't cry. Let's go eat the delicious things I brought, especially your favorite cupcakes," Lucas says, taking my hand.I walk with him, and he shows me what he brought, along

Paige's Perspective:The first thing I do is cry when I see my friend. She looks beautiful with her little swollen belly, and I imagine myself in a few months looking the same. We hug, and I introduce her to Tabatha, who only knew her through video calls. Riley, who she knows from her trip to Brazil, is also there.We talk and sit in the living room. I'm anxious to tell them the truth, but I want both of my friends to be present."I need to tell you something, and I'd like Riley to be here too," I say nervously."Oh, you scared me! Call her right away. I won't be able to handle the suspense," my friend says, exaggerating the drama for no reason.I dial Riley's number, but she doesn't answer. That's strange, but I don't give it much importance. I look at Sarah, who can't contain her anxiety to know what I have to say."She's not answering. I know how you are, and I'll tell you on the condition that you don't tell anyone, not even Ethan," I say firmly, pointing my index finger at her."

Narrated by Paige:After a few hours, Riley appears at Sarah's house and is surprised to see me, as I hadn't told her that I was here.After the usual greetings, the time comes to tell her what's going on. I feel nervous because I don't know how she'll react, but one thing I'm sure of is that she'll offer her support."I have something to tell you, and honestly, it's a surprise that I'm still processing. But before I do, I want you not to tell anyone, and by anyone, I mean Mason and Ethan." She looks at me with a furrowed brow, confused by my words."Now I'm getting worried," she says, looking at me intently, waiting for the news."I'm pregnant with Mason's child. I found out a few days ago, which is why I traveled here to tell you in person. But I insist, I don't want Mason to find out. I want to have a peaceful and calm pregnancy, and that won't happen if he knows. Besides, he has his own life and family now, and I don't want to be an obstacle to his happiness with Peyton," I tell h

Narrating as Riley:I am Emily's undercover agent, which is why when Paige told me she's pregnant, it didn't seem right to me that she wouldn't tell Mason. Both of them deserve to be happy. Due to an agreement with Emily, I can't say anything until we have concrete evidence. We can't alert Peyton about our investigation into her lies and her charade of loving Mason when the truth is she only loves his family's money.I feel powerless. I can't go and tell Emily about the baby growing inside Paige's womb. I am loyal to the friendship I have with her.On the other hand, my past is something I never thought would resurface in my present. I believed that was all behind me. I never expected to see Lucas again. When I left that country, I didn't think he would reenter my life. Luckily, he didn't say anything when we met. It still hurts to see him. The love I felt for him never went away, and neither did the pain in my heart. That's why I haven't been in a relationship all these years.What h

Narrated by Peyton:I went to the doctor's appointment for the baby by myself. I didn't want Mason to accompany me because I have sexual cravings, and the doctor is really good with just his hands. I don't think I need to explain more than that.I arrive at the clinic and I'm surprised to see him with an assistant. I don't understand why it's the first time I see someone else in the clinic besides him."Good morning, doctor," I greet him in a normal manner."Good morning, Miss Peyton. Please come in," he responds with a smile, pointing to the seat in front of his desk."Thank you. Who is this young lady?" I ask, unable to keep quiet."Well, let me introduce you to my intern. She's learning about this specialty," he explains nervously."Alright, let's get started," I say impatiently since my initial excitement faded when I realized we're not alone."Well, I need to take a sample to perform an examination and see if the baby has any health issues. If we find anything, we can start looki

Narrated by Emily:The big day has arrived. You may be wondering which day I'm referring to. It's quite simple. Today is the day I will expose all of Peyton's lies.I told her that I had planned a baby shower for my grandson. She's very excited about what I supposedly prepared.I have the venue where all the guests will gather, not that there are many, only the ones who are genuinely interested."Peyton's friend" Mason will be there, along with Ethan, Sarah, Riley, and my husband. I sent an invitation to Paige, but she confirmed that she won't attend. I explained to her that it's not what she thinks, but she still didn't want to come.I hope that when everything is over, I can explain to her why it took so long to expose this woman who pretends to love my son and a family that was never close to forming with him.In my bag, I have the DNA sample with the result. Even during this time that has passed, I managed to obtain the DNA from her friend, the neighbor. As for the doctor, he didn

Mason narrates. I still can't believe what I've seen. That baby is not mine, and here I was, thinking of marrying her. I had noticed the changes in her behavior, but I blamed it on hormones. The truth is, she has always been like this. She just didn't show me her true self.I hear everything they say, but my mind can only think of Paige. Nothing is stopping me now from going after her and begging for her forgiveness."Love, you can't believe all this. It's a trap set by your mother, who has never liked me," Peyton says, crying."Who is the father?" I ask, furious."You are the father. That document must be fake. Trust me," she says, almost kneeling."Hah! You can't say something like that to me. How dare you ask me to trust you when your 'friend' was disappointed to find out that it's not his child either! I can't even imagine how many men you've deceived. And you know what's funny about this situation? I don't feel jealous! On the contrary, I'm relieved to know that I don't have to

Narrated by Paige:A few weeks have passed, and I've been staying calm in Brazil, keeping in touch with my assistant at the company. Fortunately, she does her job very well, and I hardly need to be physically present.Lucas has been visiting me daily. He's a very good man. However, I can't love him. I care about him a lot, but I can't see him as a romantic partner.Tabatha knows about this, and she understands. Lucas is also aware that I don't see him in a romantic way. He respects that, and even though he says he loves me, I know and have realized over time of getting to know him that he has never been able to forget that woman from his past. The love he feels for her is still there, but he's too hurt by what she did, and he has his reasons. I can't deny that.Sarah sent me a message saying she has something really important to tell me and that she'll call me when she's with Riley. Right now, Lucas is arriving as usual with something to eat. If I keep this up, I'll end up rolling thr

Narration by Lucas:When I hear the voice of one of Paige's friends, I have to admit that it takes me back in time. That voice feels somewhat familiar, but it can't be true, it can't be her.I deny it within myself and tell myself to stop thinking about things that are not and will never be possible.I listen as they tell her that Paige's ex-husband won't be a father and that he's looking for her to be happy with her. What man wouldn't do that for the kind of woman she is? He would be blind not to pursue her after being freed from the commitment of a baby that wasn't even his.Seeing Paige's lack of reaction, I step in front of the screen. I recognize Sarah immediately, but not the other girl, although she bears a resemblance to that woman, I haven't been able to stop thinking about, albeit not in a positive way. I stay frozen for a few moments, not knowing how to react. The question "Could it be her?" crosses my mind. Of course not, I answer myself.I embrace Paige, and both of us fa
