"But the story is beginning to add up, don't you think? She said you were stolen from her by a man, and the sisters said a man brought you to the orphanage home," Jade said thoughtfully. "If you think about it, it still doesn't add up. If I'm to go by what you said you were told, then I was stolen from her at birth. On the other hand, the man who left me at the orphanage home did so when I was three years old. What happened in between? I'm not sure it's the same person who stole me from…-

"I don't know what he left. It didn't occur to me to ask him about that. I'm not sure I care about it either," Candace said with a dismissive shrug. "Perhaps he left you and Jamal some money," Jade said as she turned her gaze away from the road to look at Candace who was staring at her with curious eyes. "I don't think so. And even if that were the case, I wouldn't touch a dime from it. I'm not interested in his ill-gotten wealth," Candace said…

Seeing how his father had cried earlier and how tough things had been for him in the last couple of days to the point that he had been sick, Harry couldn't bring himself to react harshly to his father's revelation. He just sat there. He didn't say a word or let any emotion show on his face as he tried to make sense of what his father had just said. He couldn't say he was exactly surprised. The thought had crossed his mind but he had pushed it away because he didn't believe…

He had informed his secretary that his father was coming, and she was to let him in immediately. "Good morning. This is Aaron Jonas. Please can you let Mr. Jonas know that his father is here to meet him," Lucy informed Harry's secretary immediately they walked into the office and she stood up at once. "Good morning, sir. You're welcome, please come with me," she said with a polite smile as she stepped away from her seat. "I will be waiting out here. Don't worry,…

"How do you feel?" Jade asked after she returned from the doctor's office to meet Candace. "Exhausted," Candace confessed as she embraced her and just held on to her. All the fight had left her the moment the doctor had declared Jero dead. Although she still had so much anger and resentment left in her, but what was the point of being bitter at a dead man? "Why don't I take you back to the hotel, and then I will make some calls to discuss what is to be done with…

"I want to see your office," he said quietly, and Tom gave him a nod before looking at Lucy. Although they had apologized to each other, there was still some tension between them, and Tom could tell that Lucy wasn't comfortable. "I will give you a call after my meeting," he promised, and she gave him a nod before kissing Jamal's forehead and getting out of the car. "Have a nice day," Lucy called out to him before walking away while Tom and Jamal watched her until she…

He removed the oxygen mask on his nose, "You came back?" He asked weakly, and Candace who had been reading a novel on her phone looked at him before glancing at her wristwatch. "You have been sleeping for about eighteen hours now. How are you feeling? Should I get the doctor?" Candace asked as she stood up and dropped her phone on the chair. "Eighteen hours? Have you been here for that long?" Jero asked in a weak but surprised voice. "Don't sound so surprised.…

All through the night he had tossed and turned restlessly as he tried to make sense of the situation, but no matter how hard he thought about it or how much time he spent thinking about it he couldn't figure out what was going on. What did it mean that Sara Walker looked exactly like his mother? Did it mean that his father had lied to him about the identity of his mother? Was Sara probably his mom's twin sister and his father had lied to him that she was an orphan? What could have…

Lucy smiled when she opened her eyes and saw Tom's face hovering above hers. He was lying on his right side with his body propped up on his elbow. Tom kissed her eyes making her laugh as she weakly pushed him away, "Good morning, Ace. How long have you been up? Why didn't you wake me up?" She asked, turning her mouth away from his face so that he won't be disturbed by her morning breath. Tom smiled when he noticed what she was doing, and turned her face towards him. He…

"I think there is sense in this," Sonia said, while Lucy thought about it. If Candace was truly Sara's daughter, then from what Sara had said, the people who had adopted her daughter were very wealthy. And if they had adopted her as a newborn, there was no way they wouldn't have made financial plans and arrangements for her. "It actually makes a lot of sense," Lucy murmured after some time. "It would be great if we can look into this and find answers for her. Who…
