"Did you kidnap your sister?" Aiden's sudden question jolted Emine, leaving her completely taken aback. Why would he ask such a thing out of the blue? Confusion clouded her mind, leaving her utterly bewildered."I want to know everything. Tell me all that I need to know," Aiden eagerly pressed for answers."Why are you asking now? After five long years, why is this suddenly on your mind?" Emine's fists clenched beneath the table, although her eyes remained devoid of any emotion."Can you just answer the question?" Aiden's patience was rapidly waning.Emine couldn't help but relish the sight of impatience etched on his face. She couldn't explain why, but seeing Aiden in distress gave her a strange sense of satisfaction."Is that why you called me here, Mr. Aiden?""Emine!" he called out, his tone filled with anger."What? Do you still see me as the same person who cowered under threats? Tsk, tsk, wake up from your delusions, it's a brand new day. You never once asked me this question fi

Emine seethed with fury, desperate to exact revenge on Sandra's boyfriend. But she knew Sandra would never allow it. Sue sat helplessly, forced to witness the impending conflict. If Emine wanted to punish him, she had to assume the role of the fearsome Devil Queen. However, if Sandra discovered the Devil Queen's visit, she might be overwhelmed and risk losing her child."Alright, my dear, let's go on a thrilling shopping adventure. We need to find the cutest baby clothes for my adorable goddaughter," Emine declared, placing a hand on her waist like an anxious grandmother about to welcome a surprise grandson. "Sigh... You asked me to be a godmother, but fate had other plans. I couldn't give you a godchild since I didn't have a boyfriend. Your boyfriend seems to have trouble keeping things under control between his legs." She shook her head in disapproval and continued walking."I don't blame you, really. Who wants their children labeled as 'the old lady's children?' Sandra pointed at E

Aiden resolved to toil ceaselessly, determined to break free from his grandfather's control. But fate seemed determined to bind him in its grasp, no matter how hard he fought against it."Tomorrow, Aiden, we shall visit your nephew's grave together. Stay the night here and join me," his grandmother pleaded. Although he yearned to refuse, he couldn't bring himself to deny her request. Grandma held a special place in his heart, and he held her in utmost respect."Alright, grandma. I need some rest," he replied, rising from the dining table. But as he turned to leave, he couldn't hold back his anger any longer. "I know exactly what you're thinking. Stay out of my personal life, or you'll never see me again," he spat before storming away."Grandfather, it seems Aiden doesn't like me. What should I do?" she asked, her face filled with despair."Don't worry, my dear. He will come to love you," the old man comforted her."I won't let you ruin my grandson's happiness. You've already destroyed

"I don't believe we've met before," Ryan queried, his eyes filled with curiosity.Mildred, taken aback by his question, hesitated for a moment, her hand trembling as she pointed accusingly at him. This scoundrel, he knew Mildred, but now that he had this other woman, he pretended as if they were strangers. Frustrated by the situation, she chose to remain silent, fearful of Kindred discovering her infidelity with Ryan. Ryan was Kindred's mortal enemy, and if he were to find out, Mildred would suffer great consequences. And what was so captivating about this woman that made all the men chase after her?"Mildred, let's not waste our time on undesirables," Kindred interjected, his tone laced with provocation, his hand gently caressing her stomach. He cast a sidelong glance at Sandra, hoping to witness her distress, but to his disappointment, her face remained stoic."Darling, let's go. We shouldn't waste our time on these unfaithful couples," Ryan said tenderly to Sandra, taking her hand

"I'm sorry, but I'm just not in the mood for drinks," Sandra uttered with a regretful tone, hoping her friend Emine would understand.Emine's voice brimmed with disappointment as she retorted, "Unbelievable! How can you possibly be out of the mood? This is a moment to celebrate, the adulterous couples have finally met their karmic fate."Sandra sighed, realizing that she couldn't escape Emine's nagging. Reluctantly, she surrendered, "Alright, alright, Madam, I hear you. Let's go have a few drinks then."Shaking her head in frustration, Sandra muttered to herself, "Where did I find such a friend? I had promised Ryan a special dinner tonight, and now she's just dampened everything. What a friend I've ended up with."After hanging up the phone, Emine found herself standing pensively by the window. Her thoughts raced, and a single question consumed her: "Will Aiden, too, face his just desserts?"She set her gaze on the horizon, the city lights twinkling below. And in the midst of her conte
