Desmond and Evelyn stood up and went to him, "You don't have to butter it up nicely, Tom told us about it already, and I'm sorry to see you leave," Desmond said, with worry lines between his brow. "Yeah, me too. I was looking forward to letting you win a game tonight as my birthday gift to you," Andrew said with a grin, and Desmond laughed despite himself. "I'm going to really miss you. Hopefully, we'll see more of each other when we get back," Desmond said since they live in the same…-

"Simon? There is no way Simon would do something like that. Not after everything I've done for him and his family," Evelyn said with a confident shake of her head. Without arguing with her, since her reaction had been expected, Bryan took out his phone and showed her the footage of Simon sneaking into his house to plant cameras. "The nerve of the rat!" She spat angrily, her eyes sparkling with anger as she watched the help she had personally sent to her son stab her in the back. She was…

"What is the problem, princess?" Andrew asked, cupping Lucy's tiny hands in his large hands. Lucy cleared her throat, "We found out the person behind the scandal," Lucy announced, and immediately Janet's usually calm eyes flashed with anger. "Who did it? Is it someone we know?" Janet asked impatiently. "You don't know her. But she is also responsible for Bryan's and Sonia's scandal," Lucy said, and that seemed to annoy both her parents. "A lady was behind it? The same…

"Good for them," Desmond muttered disinterestedly as they got out of the car. "C'mon, Des," Evelyn pleaded, knowing he was still upset. She had caught him staring at his phone countless times like he was awaiting their phone call. "Let's just go in there, get our stuff, and..." "I don't know about you folks, but I had too much fun," Andrew cut in before Desmond could finish, wanting them to focus on the pleasant experience they had just shared. "There is nothing like too…

On the table, different trays of hors d'oeuvres were arranged, consisting of canapes, toast points spread with foie gras, mini quiche, and jelly tarts. Various bottles of wines and wine glasses adorned the table, with a transparent flower jar at the center, which contained a mixture of white roses and tulips. "Good. Excuse me then," Tom said as he quickly walked away and returned to the house. Although he had been busy with the decorations, his mind had been in the bedroom upstairs all…

"I left her upstairs. She has to make an important phone call," Tom said, and Jade nodded. "I suppose she is telling her twin brother about his ex-fiancee?" Jade asked thoughtfully since that was the only thing she could think of that would keep Lucy upstairs. Not that she thought Lucy didn't have other important things to attend to, but from the way Tom had said it, she could tell it was an unpleasant phone call. "Yeah." "That must be tough. You should have stayed up with her,"…

Submitting his resignation letter had been more difficult than he had thought possible. The hospital's medical director had refused to accept it and had insisted that he give him a proper explanation for his resignation. "You are one of my best doctors. I would be crazy to let you leave," the medical director had said, throwing Lucas' resignation letter in the trashcan as he got off his seat. "I understand how you feel, Dr. Drew, but I'm sorry, my mind is made up," Lucas said…

Samantha shrugged, "They didn't say. They just seemed pretty excited to go out, and your mother asked Adolf to drive them in the limo. They took Jamal along with them," She said, and Tom exchanged a look with Lucy. "Did you tell your dad about the surprise?" Tom asked, and Sonia, who had just joined them, gave Lucy a questioning look. "You told him that your dad asked us to remind them?" Sonia asked incredulously, eyeing Lucy like she was a traitor. "Yes." "No," Lucy and…

"Yes, I want to. I'm not sure I'm ever going to be relaxed enough to talk about it later unless we talk about it now. So please tell me, Lu. What do you want?" Tom asked with pleading eyes, and Lucy sighed as she took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes. "Honestly? I'm not sure I know what I want anymore," Lucy confessed, and Tom felt the first stirring of hope in his heart. "You don't know?" "Marriage has never been in my plans. I've never thought nor dreamed of getting…

Seated in the back seat of the car, she looked from one to the other, and it was painfully apparent that Tom and Lucy were not okay. Although they didn't look like they were fighting, they didn't seem like they were entirely at peace either. It wasn't like they had said anything to each other to make her feel the way she did, no. On the contrary, neither of them had spoken a word to each other since Tom started driving. And although silence didn't necessarily mean there was trouble in…
