Chapter 68
Elli stared at the two pictures she took from the files that SJ had given her. One picture was of her during her 8th birthday together with her mom and dad. She was tearing the gift that her mom was holding with a big smile on her face while her father was holding her carefully, looking at her with love on her eyes. The other picture was of her in her second birthday. Her mom was probably on her knees looking at her with a loving smile on her face while a two-year-old Elli was bending down over her cake being held by a man with a birthmark on his right arm.
Are you, my father? She wondered, staring at the picture.
She had checked her album especially on during her first to third birthday as her husband pointed out. He explained that she is being carried by a different man, who he said could be her real father.
Elli had then frantically searched her album, looking at the photos intently for any face she could point that belongs to the man holding her,

It has been more than a month since Elli felt in her heart that SJ lied to her. She went out from the car on a Wednesday morning, that SJ had purposely assigned to her three blocks away from the office. Much to her husband’s chagrin, which she’s sure that her bodyguards had reported, she vehemently refused to be dropped off in front of the office building.“Why do you have to defy me, Elli?” SJ had asked after the first day she was dropped off. He had gone straight to her apartment after the day was over. “Stu informed me that you insisted to be dropped off several blocks away from the building. Why?!”“I already said yes to the car, okay?” Elli only replied calmly. “Please don’t force me to do things I am not yet ready to do.”“I am not forcing you. You should know that already,” he insisted lightly. He ran a hand through his hair in frustration. “It’s for your safety and

SJ looked up from his plate when he noticed that Elli is moving her food around as they are having their lunch in a private room at The Flavors of Milan. He watched her for a while before finally putting down his fork and knife. “Don’t you like the food?” He asked calmly. “You can always order again.” Elli shook her head. “The pasta’s great,” she answered as she leaned back on her chair. “What’s going on, then?” SJ asked firmly as he took a drink from his glass. “If there’s nothing wrong with your food, then what’s bothering you?” She looked at him patiently. “You were ill-mannered to Archibald a while ago,” she finally said pointedly. “I don’t see the reason for you to be acting like that. He was grateful that the project was implemented based on what the office had shown to them.” “So, is this why you’re acting like an immature?” He returned. “You’re the one who is immature, SJ,” she scoffed lightly. “Don’t turn aroun

Elli laid on her side quietly as she watched her husband’s chest rising and falling as he continued to sleep peacefully. She smiled slightly as she continued to look at him, knowing that one of the reasons that her heart is beating is because of him.She loved this man! She can’t do anything about it now and she had no regrets over it.She looked out through the window and saw the remains of the sunset.SJ made love to her the moment the door to their room closed. She noticed that he made love to her with such urgency, and she was surprised that she was able to meet his demands. Although, she thought ruefully that he had his way with her in the car, on their way to the villa.She carefully stood up from the bed, making sure not to disturb him. She walked to the bathroom, closing the door, and turned on the shower. She took a shower, removing all the evidence of their lovemaking. She reached for the soap, surprised that he was using hers. She k

Elli adjusted her ID the following day as she was about to enter Kincaid Tower from her lunch break. It was one of her staff’s birthday and she took them out and treated them for lunch.“Look! Racing season will open this weekend!” Natalie, her staff gushed when they entered the building and saw the exhibit of the Kincaid’s race car last year along with the awards, they won and individual posters and standees of their racers. “It’s a good thing that I was able to reserve for tickets. Dad’s a fan!”“The ticket I bought is for the fourth leg already,” Winston commented as he stopped to check the car. “But I saw this car last year. It had a great performance. Too bad we only got second.”“Perhaps this season will be our year,” Natalie said hopefully. “We’ll go ahead, Ms. Elli.”Elli nodded as she stopped in front of one standee of the exhibit.The ent

SJ paced back and forth impatiently along the hallway outside the Presidential Suite of Kincaid Medical Institute, an institution that was built by his grandfather’s father and remains one of the best healthcare facilities in the country and continuing to develop to become better.“SJ!”He looked up and saw his mother, running towards him, her face anxious.“I left my function as soon as you called but traffic was unbearable. Your dad is on his way, too,” Mrs. Kincaid said as she grabbed SJ’s hand. “How’s Elli? Is the doctor still checking her? What is taking them so long?”“Sir,” Sam said formally.He turned and took the tablet from his bodyguard and watched videos uploaded online of Carmela attacking Elli. He slid the tablet, and an article came up from the online gossip column, The Juicy Scoop, with the headline in big, bold letters, “MARRIED!!!” along with a photo of

True to SJ’s expectation, Carmela didn’t agree on SJ’s challenge that he is willing to undergo a paternity test. After checking with his cousin, Paige, who is an Obstetrician explained to SJ that he can be able to determine if the child that Carmela is carrying is his.“We have three different ways to test paternity before a baby is born,” Paige explained to him patiently. She looked at SJ, who is listening quietly with his mother beside him as well as his PR and Legal team. “They are as accurate as those performed after a child's birth.”“One of the three methods is the Noninvasive prenatal paternity test orNIPP,” she continued. “This test analyzes fetal DNA found in a pregnant woman's blood during the first trimester. If Carmela says she is two months pregnant, let’s wait for it to turn three and extract blood.”SJ nodded and he turned to his team.“You know what to do.&

Ronald Blake checked the security monitor beside the main door of his studio on a Wednesday morning after he let his doorbell rang three times. He then opened the door with a welcoming smile.“Hello, Uncle Elliot,” he greeted warmly and took a step back to let him in. “As always, you are right on time. I had your coffee prepare with two lumps of sugar.”“Your mother called me up and asked me to tell you that you give her a call,” Elliot Grande chided.Ronald grin.“I’ll think about it,” he said. “All she ever talked about is when I’ll be finally getting married.”He followed his uncle to his workshop area and out into the small garden where a garden table and chairs are situated.

“What the f8ck are you trying to tell me, Blake?!” He roared as he stood up from his chair inside his office. He waved at Debra and her assistants off, his way to telling her that he will call her again. He gripped his phone tightly. “How did you know that she’s looking for her real father?”“Because she called before and asked for my help!” Ronald barked. “She sent me a picture of that jewelry she has. Uncle was here a few minutes ago and saw it while he was going around the studio. Are you on your way there now?!”SJ grabbed his car keys and immediately proceeded to his private elevator.“I’m heading to my car,” he answered tightly. “This better be serious, Blake or I’m going to knock you out for disturbing me!”“I’m not going to call you if this isn’t serious, asshole!” Ronald snapped. “Drive as fast as you can before Elliot Grande ge
