Belinda's POVSarah's father came to us to talk to us about the potential kidnapping of Connor. At first, I did not want to talk to him, but he begged us to listen. Chase and I agreed to meet him in my office. We know what his daughter has done and are tired of her interfering in our business and relationship. We are tired of her trying to get to Connor. We cannot drop the charges that we have laid against her and Jake. I know he is only a father and wants her to be forgiven. I am pregnant and not in the mood to listen to what he has to say, but what else can I do? We cannot tell the man we do not want to talk about him about his daughter. We know that he is standing in for her. "Mrs and Mr Stone, I am so glad that you are willing to see me. You do not have to worry about Sarah disturbing you anymore, as she is at my house now and will not leave my house or come near your family again. My daughter is pregnant. She wanted to have an abortion, but I would not allow it. Jake is the fath
Jake's POVI knew Belinda still had feelings for me. That is why she withdrew the case against Sarah and me. I am confident that I can win her heart back. Why else would she withdraw the case against us? It's not for Sarah because nobody can stand Sarah. Sarah's father has some influence in town, but I do not believe he will help her. I'm glad we have been released, and I can continue with my work now, but I will have to go and see Belinda and thank her for withdrawing the case because I know that Chase would never do it. She must have convinced Chase to do it. Otherwise, he would have let us rot in jail. However, when I tried to enter her office, I was not welcome there. This must be Chase's doing because Chase fears I will take his place in our life. He must know that she still has feelings for me. I drive back to my office, and my number is blocked when I try to call Belinda. Chase is jealous of me. He must have blocked my number on her phone.When I reached my office, I was surpri
Belinda's POVWhile the whole town talks about Jake and his arrest because he stole trust money, my mother-in-law plans a reveal party. She is the only one who knows the gender of the child. While I am relieved that Jake and Sarah are out of our lives, my mother-in-law is going crazy with decorations and other stuff she plans for the party. I do not know what we can expect from her anymore because this will be a costly reveal party. However, this is the first grandchild she will experience throughout pregnancy and birth. They love Connor, and I can not complain. They treat him like a crown prince. She deserves to do what she is doing for my unborn child. She's only a grandmother, and I know she wants the best for all her grandchildren, but this is the first one she will be there for from the start. I know this will be a long day. The party is today. Chase has been complaining the whole time while his mother was planning it, as he does not like parties like this. I know he is concerne
Belinda's POV I am glad the gender reveal party is over. I am so happy I am expecting a little girl. We have not thought of a name for her yet. I was thinking of calling my daughter Caroline. I always like the name Caroline. We can call her Carol for short. I will have to talk to Chase about it. Perhaps you have something else in mind. I am open to ideas, as I will not do something without my husband and I deciding about it together. It is his child, too. I did not give him a chance to choose Connor's name. But then again, he was not around. Not that it was his fault, because he did not know about Connor. Amanda is at her last, and she and Nick are staying next to us as Nick bought Chase's house. I am glad that my sister is close by. So if she needs me during the night, I am just next door.We were just about to sleep when Nick came running over to us. Connor is also still up since it is the weekend. I can see Nick is in a panic. I know Amanda is about to give birth. We ran outside w
Nick's POVI know all I can do now is wait. I am here with Amanda and hate seeing her in pain. She puts on a brave face, and I hold her hand as she has to endure the pain. My hand feels numb as she presses it every time the pain becomes too much. The doctor has arrived and tells her he will tell her when she can start pushing. I know the pain must be killing her. The doctor asks if she wants anything for the pain, but she refuses. She does not want any help. She desires to bring this child into the world normally. I admired her for it. But if I were her, I would have taken something for the pain because I am sure that no man can stand the pain that a woman goes through when she gives birth. It must be awful. After a while, the doctor tells Amanda to start pushing. Everything goes according to plan.We will have a set boy, and we have decided to call him Mason. I am glad Jake cannot interfere, as he is in prison. I'm so happy he's out of our lives and can even bother us again. By the t
Chase's POVWe all wait. Luckily, we are dressed now. We went to the bathrooms and got dressed. We put our pajamas in the suitcases that the servant sent with Nick's father. At last, Nick comes walking to us. He is smiling, and he looks delighted. I cannot believe my friend, who once was such a player, is now a father. "Our little boy, Mason, is healthy. Amanda is fine. Everything went fine, except I fainted. Chase, you can laugh at me, but wait until your turn comes. At least I am done. You still have to stand next to your wife when she gives birth. It's not easy to see the woman you love endure so much pain. And don't say yes if the doctor asks you if you want to watch when the baby gets born. There's a lot of blood and stuff, and that's where I fainted," Nick says. I'm not going to laugh at him because I am also not one that can stand blood, especially not if it comes from somebody that I love."Congratulations, my friend. I cannot believe you are a father. I would have laughed if
Belinda's POVYesterday was the final argument of all the parties involved in the murder of my mother. The months have gone by fast. Today, the jury will decide what will happen to my father, his wife, and those who helped them. I cannot wait to hear the results. They are guilty. Everybody that has been following the case has the same feeling as I have. They will go to prison for life. However, I know my father and how he is. I do not know if he got to the jury. I do not believe that they can, but one never knows. So I am very nervous. My father can be very charming, and I have seen him trying his best to persuade the jury that he is innocent. Amanda's mother had to get a lawyer. Jake can no longer practice and is in jail. Amanda and I leave for court. Chase will get us there. Connor will stay with his grandparents after school. I hope that the jury has reached its verdict. I want justice for my mother, and I want my revenge. My mother did not deserve to die the way that she did, and
Belinda's POVIt has been a long time since I have been at my mother's grave. I never wanted to go because I always felt guilty. I thought I let her down because I did nothing to prevent her death or to avenge her. Today, my heart is hurting because I know I am saying goodbye to her again. I remember her funeral. There were many people because she was very popular in this city. My father pretended to be sad. I knew it was fake. I knew he had something to do with her death because he also looked guilty. People who didn't know him did not understand how guilty he looked. However, I knew how guilty he looked because he couldn't look me in the eyes. I knew he had a girlfriend. My mother called me and told me she was distraught. I thought he felt guilty because of his girlfriend. But when I found out that my mother wanted to divorce him, I knew that he had something to do with her death, as he never wanted to lose her money. I tried to calm her over the phone. I didn't know it was the last
