Chapter 51: The Call
As I delved deeper into the investigation report, a bombshell dropped. Mr. Adler was the illegitimate child of Alexander Stone, the CEO of Stonewell Construction Enterprise, a long-standing rival of the A.D. Corporation. I was in disbelief. How could my father-in-law trust someone with such ties to their rival?
My thoughts started racing as I put the pieces together. Mr. Adler had gone missing just before the chaos and breach in the company. Could he be the one responsible? I had always felt a twinge of unease around him, and now, my suspicions were only growing stronger.
He is Tiffany's older brother. Was Tiffany aware of this fact? Could this be the reason why Mr. Adler allowed Tiffany to cause a disturbance at my previous workplace? The report only indicated that Mr. Adler was investigating his real father.
I leaned back in my chair and began to contemplate the information at hand. Perhaps, I needed to delve deeper into this matter and gather more information

Laia's POV As I sat beside my father's bed, grasping his hand in mine, the reality of the situation hit me with full force. The words Uncle Thomas and Az were exchanging faded into the background as I struggled to process what was happening. My heart was filled with pain and regret as tears streamed down my face. Az approached me, pulling me into a comforting embrace. "I know it's tough, but you need to be strong. Your father can hear you crying, and he wouldn't want to see you like this. I can tell he loves you, even though I've only known him for a little while," he whispered, trying to hold back his own tears. “What should I do? He’s the only family I have,” I asked in a low voice, trying to stop myself from crying. “I’m here for you. No matter what happens. I’ll always be here for you. Let’s not make it hard for your father anymore. Alright?” he said, trembling even though he tried to compose himself in front of me.

Seeing her like this was unbearable for me, and I felt a sense of helplessness wash over me.On the other hand, the weight of the responsibility of taking over my father-in-law's company was still too much to bear.

Even with the collaboration I had with Carlo and John, I still struggled with the public's doubts about my abilities. The Public Relations Department had been working tirelessly to manage the news about our company. The workload was too much for me to handle on my own without a secretary, so I had to post a job opening for the position.With the project launch on hold until I could find a reliable secretary to represent me in case of scheduling conflicts, Carlo assisted me in reviewing the list of applicants. As he scanned through the resumes, he murmured, "Eric?""Eric?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion as Carlo placed a resume of a familiar person on top of my desk. "Eric Martinez? Why? What's wrong?""He sent his intent to apply for the position of your secretary," Carlo replied, chuckling as he tapped Eric’s resume on my table.Double-checking the list of applicants, I was surprised to see Eric's name on it."I wonder if he kno

Eric's eyes held a hint of confusion as Carlo led him to the couch, while I settled back into my own chair. "I never expected to see you here," he said, still processing the information. "I tried my best to stay out of the spotlight," I replied, flashing a smile. " I'll clarify everything after the interview. For the time being, please act as if you don't know us." Despite the perplexity in his expression, he nodded his agreement, and we carried on with the interview. During the interview, Eric displayed his in-depth knowledge of stocks and analysis of data, impressing me with his quick wit and ability to understand the necessary actions to be taken in certain situations. "I can see that you have a good understanding of the market, Eric," I said, nodding approvingly. "Tell me, how do you keep up with the constantly changing trends?" "I subscribe to financial news websites and newsletters to stay up to date," Eric replied confidently. "I also make sure to analyze past market perfo

As we walked, I couldn't help but notice the small, white bundle she held in her arms. The sight of it made my heart sink—it could only be one thing. My hands shook with anticipation as Nina gently handed me the bundle, the soft white blanket warm against my skin. I knew what was inside, but I couldn't bring myself to open it just yet.Tears welled up in my eyes as I clutched the bundle to my chest, my whole body was trembling.

Aziel: Ex-Mafia's Son-in-Law Chapter 57: Lucas
Laia and I sat alone in the empty nursery, surrounded by the remnants of what was supposed to be our child's life. The walls were painted a soft blue, the crib neatly made with a plush teddy bear sitting atop it. But the room remained silent, empty, and devoid of the cries and laughter that should have filled it. It hadn’t been that long since Laia and my parents started to set up this room. My heart ached with the pain of loss, as I thought back to the moment when we had to say goodbye to our beloved son.After the death of our baby, the hospital room felt suffocatingly silent without the sound of our child's cries.

Both of us were suffering from the loss of our child, and I was unsure of how to make her eyes sparkle once again. I regretted not being present for her more. I tried to ignore the anguish and sorrow I felt within by spending most of my days at the office. When Laia finally broke the silence once more, her remarks threw me off guard. When she retreated from my embrace, she muttered, "Az... let's dissolve our marriage." Dread and despair mixed as I quavered, dropping to my knees while trying to reach for her hand. "I apologize for not spending more time with you at times like this; please do not abandon me," I begged. It felt like a massive rock was crushing me, and I had no idea how to convince her to

Because I needed to be with my wife during this difficult time, I decided to work from home.I carefully stood up and went to the kitchen to brew a cup of coffee and went back to the room. I placed my coffee on the nightstand as I set up the table beside the bed, then set up my laptop and the papers that I needed to review on it.Laia remained sound asleep on the bed, her breathing steady and slow.
