Jonathan returned to the parking lot where he had parked his car. His heart was beating uncontrollably, as if it were about to jump out. He wasn't sure if he should open the envelope containing the DNA test results that he had brought. After getting into the car, the man slammed his back on the back of the car seat and let out a long sigh. He seemed to be weighing: should he open it now or choose to keep it? He wasn't prepared to be disappointed if Ella proved not to be his biological daughter. He loved Ella so much.With a frustrated shake of his head, Jonathan finally chose to roughly break the seal on the envelope that had seemed to challenge him.He read the text of the test result letter in order. His eyes narrowed when he found the test results included in the letter, which stated that Ella was not his biological daughter.Jonathan gripped the paper tightly in his hands, leaving a crumpled mess where he held it. His heart beat painfully, while his jaw clenched tightly."How dar

Elena held Ella with her face close to the baby girl's face. Through the window, Elena wanted to show Ella the view of the blue Auckland sky with a few white clouds. It was a very sunny day, and of course the sun outside would bake the skin of anyone under it."Do you see there, darling? The sky is beautiful, and the sun is shining very brightly today. I hope that my days with you will be as beautiful as the sky and as bright as the sun shining this afternoon." Elena said to the baby, who was only silent and blinked his eyes.The conversation full of affectionate words from a mother to her child continued. Elena thought as if the baby in her arms understood what she was talking about.The sound of a phone ringing instantly disturbed her hearing, pausing Elena's conversation with the baby in her arms. Her eyes darted to the flat object that kept calling her to the bed. The screen seemed to be on, but Elena was reluctant to approach it.Elena chose to remain silent, guessing that the ca

Both of Elena's palms covered her gaping lips, which were quite wide. The woman panicked and looked in all directions, worried if anyone had seen what had just happened."What are you doing, Elena?" Asher hissed, both eyes bulging. In equal fear, the man held his head with both hands. What if, as conscious as Theresia would be, she told him about coming to the Hayes' house?"This is all because of you; leave now and don't let anyone see you," pleaded Elena, who immediately went to her room on the second floor. Occasionally, with a feeling of fear, Elena looked back at the body of the woman lying on the floor.Breathing heavily, Elena closed the door to her room. Overcome with anxiety over what she had just done, Elena could only walk back and forth, biting her fingernails. Her hands were cold and wet with sweat.Elena was afraid that Theresia suffered a dangerous condition due to the impact on her head because Elena was the one who pushed the woman down. It was her wish to subtly tort

This Sunday felt much different from the previous weeks. Usually, on weekends, they would spend time at the family villa at Waitemata Harbor. The sea breeze was soothing, and the view of the beautiful harbor was comforting, so a weekend at Waitemata Harbor was the perfect choice to refresh their tired minds.Jonathan bit his lower lip quite hard, leaving a fishy smell of blood from his own bite. He had to accept a harsh reality that was difficult for him to accept: a woman who was the number one in his life was sitting in a wheelchair in a very fragile state.Theresia's gaze looked blank. Her usually talkative lips were now tightly closed, and her pale and expressionless face showed that there was no more passion to live her life. She looked more like a living corpse.Under the warm morning sun, Jonathan squatted down to match the position of his mother's face."There's something you want; maybe I can bring it to you right away if you want." asked Jonathan with two eyebrows raised clo

An atmosphere of grief enveloped the Hayes family residence. Bouquets of flowers of various colors as condolences were lined up neatly; the name Elena Caroline Victor could not be separated from each bouquet there, making the sad atmosphere dominate.Jonthan watched the situation outside through the bedroom window with two hands in his pants pockets. Elena's name did not escape from each bouquet that came, then the man turned around, looking at the bed where Elena usually lies, but only emptiness he found. His eyes closed, inhaling the scent of Elena's fragrance that still lingered there. But it made him feel guilty. The words of apology spoken after Elena left would not reach her.The sound of knocking on the door was heard from outside, which immediately made him turn his head towards the source of the sound."Jo, the mourners have arrived. Come out to meet them," pleaded the sad-faced Edmund from behind the door. He thinned his lips as he leaned his face closer to the door, making

Jonathan took a deep breath as silence greeted him in the room. No more Elena, no more Ella. The room was quiet and felt colder than the time before Elena was in there. The heating didn't seem to be working properly.Jontahan touched Elena's belongings that were there. Elena's pajamas hanging in the closet, the array of makeup on the dressing table, and the luxurious bag she always carried when traveling. All the surfaces felt cold to the touch, and the image of the last moment of Elena's life flashed in his head: her screaming and her eyes wide open as fresh blood flowed from her head.Jonathan instantly moved his hands away from the objects, feeling that he was indirectly responsible for the poor woman's death. Had he known this was how it would turn out, he would have chosen to keep quiet about Elena's biggest lie and devote the rest of his life to the woman who had lied to him. He would have done anything to keep her alive. No one would have guessed that behind his burly body and

The eye contact between Amelie and Jonathan could no longer be avoided. Amelie's two hazel beads stared at Jonathan with hatred; the woman's jaw seemed to harden firmly.The bustling atmosphere around seemed to be invisible, as if it were only the two of them in the spacious tavern hall.Jonathan looked deeply at Amelie, who had a cold face. That woman was very different from the innocent girl he knew back then. She looked so tough and much braver than the shy girl Amelie used to be. Even so, her grace and beauty were timeless.Amelie tucked her unbound hair behind her ears, revealing a perfectly sculpted face—a masterpiece from the Creator that made the man continue to be overshadowed by her beautiful face every day.Jonathan's lips curled naturally, and the fog that enveloped his heart was instantly blown away by Amelie's charm, which brought a cool sea breeze caressing his heart.Axel, who was between them, looked at Amelie and Jonathan in turn. The boy knitted his eyebrows with a

Jonathan returned to the lodge in the late afternoon. He spent the morning sitting pensively in a park chair at the Waikato River Walk. The image of his first meeting after a long separation with Amelie was far from what he expected. The athletic man walked into the lodge room carrying a food bag with a take-away logo, containing a burger he had bought from a fast food restaurant, on his way back to the lodge. Jonathan reluctantly opened the paper wrapping the food and began to chew lazily. The food he bought was just to fill his stomach, which was screaming with hunger. Had he not felt his body staggering from lack of energy, perhaps the man would have persisted in sitting pensively without filling his stomach with food, at least until it was dark.It was all because of the rejection he received this morning. The image of Amelie's face and the boy he met at the shop this morning came back to his head. The smile on the little boy's innocent face was very clear in Jonathan's mind,
