Iris stood there shattered. Bella's words kept ringing in her head: "I'm pregnant, Ryan. We're having a baby soon." As soon as Bella noticed Iris, she grabbed Ryan and wrapped her hands around him, planting a kiss on his cheek with a smirk. Ryan turned, saw Iris, and quickly pulled away from Bella. He ran after Iris, who had walked out in tears.

"Iris! Iris, please wait! It's not what you think! There's a mix-up somewhere!" he called out, catching up to her.

When she turned to face him, she slapped him across the face. "Don't touch me again! You're nothing but a male whore.”

As she stepped out of the building, the paparazzi swarmed her, taking numerous pictures and bombarding her with questions.

"Mrs. Iris, how do you feel being the best student of Beth Fashion School?”

"Did you win the best through your husband's influence?”

"Mr. Ryan, why do your sister and wife look so much alike?”

"Mr. Ryan, are you proud of your wife's efforts?"

"When are you both expecting a child?”

    Bella hesitated, but seeing the coldness in Ryan's eyes, she turned and walked out, leaving Ryan to his misery.Meanwhile, Iris drove to her mother's house, her mind heavy with worry and confusion. As soon as she arrived, she parked and rushed inside, heading straight to her mother's room. Finding Skylar and her mother was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking frail but stern."Mom, Sky, what's going on?" Iris asked, her voice trembling.Her mother, looking frail but determined, gestured for Iris to sit. "Mom, you called and sounded urgent. What is wrong? Do you feel pain? Should I call a doctor? Should we go to the hospital? Mom, talk to me," Iris pleaded."Iris, enough!" her mother snapped."Mom, what are you talking about?" Iris asked, clearly confused.“Iris how could you? How could you Iris? Her mother spoke."Iris, you got married and hid it from me? How could you?" Her mother’s voice was shaking with anger. "You’ve been lying to me about your job. You don't have a job. You'v

    But we have to wait for her to get out of the coma before we can start any further treatment."Iris felt her world crumbling as she stared at the doctor, unable to process the magnitude of what she had just heard. Her mother's condition had deteriorated, and she needed a kidney transplant. The guilt of hiding her marriage weighed heavily on her heart, and now her mother was in a coma. She was speechless. She didn’t know what to say. Words escaped her, and the world around her began to spin as she felt utterly defeated."Iris, are you okay?" Skylar's voice cut through the fog of her thoughts.Iris nodded weakly, wiping away the tears that had begun to fall anew. "Yes, Sky, I'll be fine. I just need a moment.”The doctor cleared his throat gently. "We will continue to monitor your mother closely, and we'll keep you updated on any changes. In the meantime, you should try to get some rest and take care of yourself."Iris nodded again, barely hearing his words. She felt numb as she follo

    The weight of her mother’s condition, combined with the complexities of her own life, felt unbearable.Just then, the door opened, and Dr. Evans walked in, carrying a clipboard. He looked at the two women, a sympathetic expression on his face.“How are you holding up?” Dr. Evans asked, looking directly at Iris.“We’re managing,” Iris replied, her voice barely above a whisper. “Any change in her condition?” Dr. Evans shook his head. “Not yet, but we’re monitoring her closely. Sometimes, it takes time for the body to heal.”Iris swallowed hard, fighting back tears. “Is there anything we can do? Anything at all?”Dr. Evans sighed. “Just keep talking to her. Sometimes, coma patients can hear what’s going on around them. Your presence and your voice might help.”Skylar nodded, squeezing Iris’s hand. “We’ll be here, doctor. We won’t leave her.”After Dr. Evans left, Iris sank into the chair next to her mother’s bed, exhausted both physically and emotionally. “Sky, I don’t know how much lo

    They sat on the couch, the tension between them palpable."I've missed you,"Dr. Parker whispered, his hand gently caressing her cheek. She smiled, leaning into his touch. "I've missed you too. It's been too long." Dr. Parker sighed, his expression turning serious. "This is getting harder, honey, the secrecy, the lies. It's taking a toll on both of us."she nodded, her eyes reflecting the same weariness. "I know. But what choice do we have? We can't let anyone find out yet. It would destroy everything.”They sat on the couch, their hands entwined, a glass of wine each in their hands.“And that is why we need to act fast, we should have ended him when you had the chance,” she said.Dr. Parker looked at her, his eyes filled with a mixture of desire and guilt.” I wanted to but you asked me to hold on, remember?.I can’t help how I feel about you, seeing you with them as a family keeps breaking me”.She sighed, resting her head on his shoulder. “I know. I feel the same way. But it’s so comp

    Iris didn't know what to say. For the first time in a long while, she felt a glimmer of hope. "Thank you," she said quietly.Ryan nodded. "Let's just focus on getting your mom better."The next 24 hours were a whirlwind of activity. Her mother was transported to the hospital, and the medical team prepared for the surgery. Iris and Skylar stayed by their mother's side, praying for a miracle.As the surgery began, Iris sat in the waiting room, her nerves on edge. Ryan sat beside her, offering silent support. Hours later, the doctor emerged from the operating room. "The surgery was a success," he announced. "Your mother is stable and will need close monitoring, but she's going to be okay."Tears of relief streamed down Iris's face. "Thank you, Doctor. Thank you so much."Ryan squeezed her hand gently. "She's going to be okay, Iris."For the first time in what felt like forever, Iris allowed herself to hope. "Yes, she is. And maybe, just maybe, things will start getting better.”Back

    "Sarah, please call me when he gets back. Here's my number." She handed Sarah a card.Sarah took it with a nod. As Bella left, Sarah quickly picked up her phone and dialed a number. "Hello, sir. There's something I need to tell you……."Bella, confused and angry, He isn't at the office nor is he at home. She stopped by a bar to clear her mind with a drink. She needed to figure out her next move.Bella's mind replayed every interaction she’d had with Ryan, each moment stoking her determination.She would not be sidelined so easily.

She twirled around the empty house, pleased with how she had handled Bella’s intrusion. At the hospital, Iris sat by her mother’s bedside, her hand gently resting on Jessica’s. The room was filled with the soft beeping of medical monitors and the faint scent of antiseptic.

    Her thoughts are a whirlwind of anger and desperation. “I need to act fast,” she muttered to herself. “I can’t let Iris ruin everything I’ve worked for.”She gulped down her drink, her mind formulating a plan.

She knew that the information she had shared could have significant repercussions, but she also knew it was the right thing to do.As night fell, Ryan and Iris remained by Jessica's side, their bond growing stronger with each passing moment.

    “Bella, what are you doing here?” he asked, his tone guarded..Bella pushed past him, stepping into the foyer. “We need to talk, Ryan.”Ryan closed the door behind her, his expression unreadable. “Alright, what’s this about?”Bella took a deep breath, steeling herself. “I’m pregnant, Ryan. And it’s your child.”“I’ve taken multiple tests. There’s no doubt about it.” Bella said her voice steady.Ryan ran a hand through his hair, his mind racing. “This… this changes everything.”Bella stepped closer, her eyes pleading. “Ryan, I know this complicates things, but we need to figure out what to do. We can’t ignore this.”Ryan sighed, his shoulders slumping. “I need some time to think, Bella. This is a lot to process.”Bella’s heart sank, but she nodded. “I understand. But please, don’t take too long. We need to make a plan.”Ryan nodded, his mind clearly elsewhere. “I’ll call you soon, Bella. I promise.”As Bella left the mansion, she couldn’t shake the feeling of unease that had settled in h

    Months had passed since Parker waited in vain for Ryan to come to his rescue. As the cold reality set in, the hope that had once flickered inside Parker’s heart dimmed until it was nothing but a distant memory. The prison walls around him felt like they were closing in, suffocating him with the weight of his past mistakes. Every day, he wondered if his son would ever come, but no sign of Ryan emerged. He had gambled on the wrong side of history, and now he was paying for it with every lonely second that ticked by.Meanwhile, Mrs. Rose Kendrick, once a woman of unmatched power and deceit, was locked away in her world of doom. She had seen the writing on the wall long before now. When the truth came to light, when all the lies she had crafted so carefully unraveled before her eyes, she knew no one was coming to save her. The empire she had tried to manipulate for herself and her lover Parker had crumbled. Her final days were filled with silence, the kind that came not from peace but

    Ryan paced the length of his father’s study, his mind racing with conflicting emotions. He held the hospital reports tightly in his hand, his knuckles white from the grip. The reports confirmed his worst fears—the man he had called his father for his entire life wasn’t his biological father at all. Dr. Parker was. The revelation had shaken him to the core, and he knew he couldn’t keep this secret any longer. He had to tell Mr. Kendrick.Taking a deep breath, he walked over to where Kendrick sat in his leather chair, his eyes already filled with concern. Kendrick had noticed Ryan’s turmoil the moment he entered the room, but he hadn’t pressed him to speak."Dad," Ryan began, his voice trembling slightly. He rarely ever called him anything but ‘Dad,’ but now, with this new information, it felt like a lie. Still, it was all he had ever known. "I received something today. It’s… complicated, and I don’t know how to explain it."Kendrick raised an eyebrow, worry etching deeper into his

    The atmosphere in the house was finally calm, or so it seemed. After everything they had been through—the betrayals, the conspiracies, and the almost impossible escape from danger—Iris, Kendrick, and Jessica were relieved to be back home. The past few days had been nothing short of a nightmare, but now, with Ryan by her side, Iris felt like she could finally breathe again.Ryan had transformed into the kind of husband Iris had always dreamed of. He was attentive, caring, and endlessly devoted, especially when it came to their newborn. Late-night feedings and diaper changes—Ryan was right there with her, helping in every way he could. The chaos and distrust that once clouded their relationship were gone, replaced by a bond forged through hardship and love.One afternoon, as Iris cradled their baby on the living room couch, Ryan returned from the front door, holding a small package. There was no return address, just his name scribbled hastily across the front. He furrowed his brow as

    The tension in the hospital room hung heavy as Iris took a deep breath and prepared to explain everything. The faces of those around her—Jessica, Ryan, Kendrick, and Ivy—were etched with a mixture of concern, curiosity, and shock. Ryan, especially, seemed anxious, as though every word Iris spoke would shift the very foundation of what he believed to be true.“I found out I was pregnant,” Iris began slowly, her voice steady but filled with emotion, “on the same day that Mrs. Rose asked to see me. She called me out of the blue and said she needed to talk. I thought it was something important about the family, but when I got there…” She paused, her gaze shifting to Ryan before continuing. “She told me to leave you, Ryan. She wanted me gone so you could be with Bella.”Ryan’s jaw clenched at the mention of his mother’s betrayal, but he remained silent, allowing Iris to continue.“I was devastated,” Iris admitted, her voice cracking slightly. “I didn’t know what to do, and on my way back t

    The tension in the room had begun to settle after the police escorted Mrs. Rose and Dr. Parker out in handcuffs. The silence that followed felt like the calm after a storm, but there was still an air of unease.Mr. Kendrick stood in the center of the room, his expression heavy with guilt and regret. He turned toward Jessica, who stood with her arms crossed, looking as though she wasn’t quite sure what to make of him yet. Ivy and Iris, standing side by side, had barely spoken a word since everything unfolded.Kendrick cleared his throat, his voice thick with emotion. “I’m sorry,” he began, his eyes filled with sincerity as he faced Jessica and the twins. “Jessica, Iris, Ivy… I know words aren’t enough to make up for the years I’ve spent apart from you all, the lies, and everything else that’s happened. But please believe me when I say that I’ve regretted every single moment I wasn’t with you.”Iris remained silent, her face pale from shock, while Ivy’s gaze flickered between Jessica a

    The room was suffocating. Ryan sat up straighter in his hospital bed, his eyes narrowing as Luca entered, his expression grim. The air felt thick with anticipation as everyone waited for the news. Luca cleared his throat and looked directly at Ryan. “The anonymous messenger? It was Sarah—your house help,” he said quietly. Ryan’s brows furrowed in confusion. “Sarah?” He glanced at Ivy, then back at Luca. “What do you mean? She’s just a housemaid. Why would she—" “She’s been traced and caught,” Luca interrupted his voice firm. “We got her while she was trying to flee the country. She’s been feeding information to your enemies, Ryan. She’s been working with Mrs. Rose.”The room went still. Ivy gasped, her hand flying to her mouth, and Kendrick’s face drained of color. Mrs. Rose stood frozen, her eyes wide in disbelief as all eyes turned toward her.“What… what are you saying?” Ryan’s voice was low, but it shook with barely restrained anger.“She confessed everything,” Luca continued, h

    The silence that followed Mr. Kendrick's confession was deafening. Everyone in the room seemed frozen, processing the weight of his words. Mrs. Rose’s face was a mixture of shock and rage, her hands trembling as she gripped the back of a chair for support. Ryan and Ivy exchanged uneasy glances, while Jessica stood still, her expression unreadable, though her eyes glistened with the pain of memories that had long since scarred her.Kendrick took a deep breath, his voice thick with regret as he continued. "I was in love with Jessica," he admitted, his eyes locked on the floor as if unable to meet anyone’s gaze. "We were both so young, and I couldn't resist her. But I was already married to Rose. There was no way I could marry Jessica. I was the heir to the Kendrick family fortune, and it would have been a scandal—a disgrace—to have an affair and a child out of wedlock."Rose scoffed, her voice laced with venom. "So instead, you chose to keep me in the dark and raise the child of your

    The tension in the room was so thick it felt as though it could suffocate them all. Mrs. Rose stood frozen, her heart hammering against her chest as her eyes darted from Jessica to Kendrick and then to her children. Her worst nightmare was unraveling before her eyes, and there was no escape. Kendrick, too, was motionless, his face a mixture of disbelief and confusion. His eyes met Jessica’s, and a flood of memories rushed back—memories he had buried for years. He tried to speak, but the words caught in his throat."Je… Jessica?" Kendrick’s voice was barely above a whisper, his shock palpable. Ryan, standing by his father’s bedside, turned to Kendrick, his brows furrowed in confusion. "Dad, do you know her?"Jessica stood tall, her eyes blazing with the fire of long-buried resentment. She ignored Ryan’s question and locked eyes with Mrs. Rose, whose face was now dripping with cold sweat. Rose’s hands trembled as she took a step backward, her composure slipping with every second."No…

    Mrs. Rose paced anxiously around the hospital room, her heels clicking against the cold tile floor. She glanced at her watch for the hundredth time, her impatience growing by the second. Where were Ivy and Ryan? What were they up to? Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard the door open. She turned swiftly, only to see Ryan step into the room, followed closely by Ivy. Relief washed over her for a split second, but it quickly faded as she saw the grim looks on their faces. Something was wrong.“Where have you two been?” Mrs. Rose demanded, crossing her arms over her chest. “I’ve been looking all over for you!”Ryan didn’t respond immediately. His face was hard, his jaw clenched. Ivy, too, seemed distant, her eyes fixed on the floor as if she couldn’t bear to meet her mother’s gaze.Before Mrs. Rose could demand answers, a weak cough sounded from the hospital bed. Her husband, Mr. Kendrick, had woken up. Slowly, he turned his head toward her, his eyes filled with anger and betray
