Chapter 95: What Are You Hiding, Mother?
Narrated by Mason:After Peyton's phone call, I had only a few minutes to come up with a plan. The first person I call is my mother; she's the only one who can help me in this situation. She has been visiting Peyton as much as possible and building a friendship with her.I explain the problem I'm facing, and she suggests that the best thing I can do is buy a new house, or she can gift us one so that we don't have to live in the same house where I lived with Paige. I like her plan, but I'm not sure if it can be achieved.She proposes that I tell Peyton I'm organizing a surprise wedding for us and that I'll take her to a paradise island. I have no idea where that is, but my mother has many friends and partners through the charitable campaigns she participates in with various foundations. Surely, she will help me arrange everything.Furthermore, she tells me that she will buy us a house because she doesn't want us to live in the same one where I was happy with Paige. I support her decisi
Chapter 96: Doubts and Anguish
Narrated by Emily:The long-awaited moment has arrived. I don't have any evidence, but I know the truth. A truth that no one knows, and I won't reveal it until I have the support for what I have to say.As for the wedding, well, that's something I've been planning for a few days. However, not everything is as it seems. I have been in contact with many people, and several individuals are helping me with this. I just hope to gather the evidence at the right time and that everything turns out well.I have been visiting the handsome doctor more frequently and have managed to earn his trust regarding some secrets he holds. For example, he disclosed that he can assist me if I ever need or want to feign an illness. That reminded me of when my son and Paige returned from their trip, they were happy and determined to give their relationship a chance. But when Mason saw this woman, everything changed. After that, I recall she began experiencing discomfort and had to be on complete bed rest duri
Chapter 97: Test Results
Narrated by Paige:I took the tests, and the results will take two days—TWO DAYS! Ever since the doctor hinted that pregnancy is a possibility (because why else would he mention it?), I can't stop thinking about it. I've reached a point where I might even psych myself into getting pregnant. I've been observing myself in the mirror, and well, I haven't gained or lost weight. I haven't had any nausea, dizziness, or vomiting. Honestly, several times a day, I check my belly to see if it's still flat.I've become the laughingstock among my friends with my craziness about a possible pregnancy. I remember that yesterday when I came back from the doctor, they came over to see me.*Flashback*"Hey, friend! How did it go?" they both ask, concerned, at the same time."Fine, they asked for blood tests as part of a check-up," I say, trying to leave it at that. But my not-so-discreet friend smiles and says, "You might be pregnant," then heads to the kitchen."What? Pregnant?" John asks me."Yes, bu
Chapter 98: Pregnant
Narrated by Paige:Right now, I'm at home in my room, the only place where I feel calm. I'm lying on my bed, looking up at the ceiling, completely exhausted.Tabatha is overjoyed because she's going to be an aunt, while I'm still trying to process the news. It's not easy. And yes, I know that maybe I'm acting like a terrible mother, maybe I'm feeling things I shouldn't feel, but hormones are like that. They make me overly sensitive, and nobody understands that I can pretend to be fine when deep down, this is something that's hard to accept. It's not something that can be assumed overnight. It's a tremendous responsibility. And even more so when I was convinced that it wasn't my case, when I was certain that it couldn't be possible.I've been going back in time, doing the math, counting each day over and over again, thinking and reflecting on the last time I was with Mason. That must have been the moment when the baby was conceived. I try to calculate the weeks, but my mind fails me. I
Chapter 99: Peyton and Her Friend
Narrates Mason:My parents asked me to have Peyton sign a prenuptial agreement. They're right to protect their fortune, and I couldn't refuse. I'm heading to see her now, but I'm not sure how she'll take this.When I arrive at the house, Camila greets me nervously since I came without warning."Good morning, sir. Mrs. Peyton is on the terrace with a visitor," she says anxiously."Good morning, don't worry, I'll go there," I say, moving forward.That was strange. Why is the nurse so nervous? I walk in silence and see that she's with the same man who attended the dinner my mother organized some time ago. I walk silently to listen to their conversation. I know it's not right to do this, but Camila's nervousness piqued my curiosity.He tells her that she looks beautiful as always, and she thanks him for his words. What he says next leaves me frozen in place."You know you can count on me, and I'll always be there for you if you decide to accept what I've proposed," the man says, taking he
Chapter 100: Lucas and His Past
Narrated by Paige:I'm pacing back and forth, not knowing what to do at this moment. I don't fully understand why I feel so restless. I see Lucas arrive, and my heart flutters in my chest. I suppose it's nerves that make me react this way. I greet him and ask him to sit in the living room. As I do so, my legs continue to bounce against the floor, restless, because I'm anxious, I can't deny it."Darling, you have me worried. Are you okay?" he asks, with his eyes wide open and an impatient gleam in them."Yes, I'm fine. It's just that..." I hesitate, biting my lower lip, I can't help it, "I'm pregnant."I speak in a whisper and look down at my lap. My fingers twist incessantly, trying to stop my uneasiness. Lucas notices and holds my hand in his, to prevent me from making those movements that only show my anxiety. He knows I do that only when I'm very agitated. With his other hand, he places a finger under my chin and lifts my head. His smile is the first thing that greets me. And only
Chapter 101: Emily and Her Plan
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
Chapter 102: Trip
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
