Immediately, Lucy stood up to help him, when he almost walked into the waiter who had brought their drinks but he shook his head, "I will be back. I need a moment alone," Aaron said as he walked away from there. After he left, and the waiter dropped their drinks, Lucy picked up her wineglass and sipped from it before returning her attention to Sara who was still staring at her. "I don't know why you came back, or what you want from Harry, but I won't let you get anywhere close…-

Aaron turned to her, "What do you plan to say?" Aaron asked under his breath as they approached the table where Sara was seated. "I can't tell you right now, but please trust me and play along," Lucy said as she took out her phone and turned on her sound recorder. As Sara watched them approaching she turned to her assistant, "Who is the lady coming with him?" Sara asked as she raised her wineglass to her lips. "Her name is Lucinda Perry. She is Janet Perry's…

Something about her seemed familiar, but he couldn't tell what it was since he could swear that he had never seen her before. He doubted that he could ever forget a face such as hers if he had ever seen her. Sara's secretary took a step forward to take it from Harry, but Sara placed a hand on her shoulder to stop her, "Don't worry. I will get it myself," she said as she stepped forward instead and approached Harry with a smile. "You are such a gentleman. Thank you," she…

They were both lost in their various thoughts as they sat quietly in the car. Aaron couldn't say he was not worried as he knew that whatever he discussed with Sara would determine a lot of things in his future relationship with Harry. As Lucy had advised, he needed to come clean with Harry after keeping this secret for all these years, and he needed Harry to hear it directly from him even if it would mean going to Harry's office today to tell him the truth if Sara refused his offer…

From the looks of things, she was now more involved in this than she had planned to. What was she going to do? After everything she had just learned about Sara, if there was one thing she didn't buy, it was the fact that she had lost the baby at birth and had buried the baby before Aaron got there. Something didn't add up to her, especially after hearing that Sara had gone to a different hospital to have their child in his absence. She suspected a foul play. What she…

Old books temporarily forgotten, they had sat on the dusty floor and flipped page after page of the photo album looking at pictures of people they couldn't recognize apart from their grandparents whose photos their mom had shown them before, and photos of their parents when they were youths. While Lucas had gathered the old books they needed and taken them down with him, Lucy had taken the photo album along with her, curious to find out why most of the photos in her mother's family…

"I thought his mother was dead?" She asked, hoping that Aaron would clear her confusion by explaining the relationship between Sara and Harry's late mom. "Can you keep whatever I tell you between us? At least for now. Until I'm able to summon the courage to tell Harry the truth myself?" Aaron asked, and Lucy's brows pulled together. Just how bad was this revelation that he needed to summon courage to tell Harry about it? And by asking her to keep it from Harry, did he mean she…

That was the last thing he had been expecting her to say or ask him, and even now he was trying to figure out what he could have possibly said in his sleep about Sara to make Lucy curious enough to ask him such a question. What exactly did she hear him say? Did she tell Harry about what she heard? He wasn't sure about that since he knew that if she had told Harry then he would probably have questioned him more about it, especially after the way he had reacted the day before when Harry…

"Please give me a minute," Lucy said as she returned to the dining and dropped the medicine on the table, "Please, I need to use the restroom," Lucy told Aaron, and he directed her to the visitor's bedroom where Jade had stayed. Once she walked into the bedroom and shut the door behind her, she went into the restroom before continuing with the call, "Are you still there?" She asked, and Jade sat up on her bed. "Yes. Are you in his bedroom now?" Jade asked, thinking that Lucy…

"You must think I'm crazy for crying over a man I desperately wanted to kill," Candace said, but Jade shook her head. "I don't think anything. Our feelings and emotions are not entirely within our control," Jade said, and Candace gave her a shaky smile. "It's crazy. I resent him for everything he did to us, but at the same time a part of me feels so sorry for him. A part of me that also remembers some of the good moments I shared with him wants to go there and care for him…
