Samantha's pregnancy reached its final stages. She enjoyed the last days of her pregnancy because there was no threat from anywhere or anybody. She cherished the peacefull environment that surrounded her, but she couldn't wait to see the face of the life she has been carrying for some months now. One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon. Samantha noticed a change in her body. She was sitting by the window, looking out at the peacefull landscape when a slight pain came through her abdomen. Her hands immediately rested on her rounded belly.The discomfort she felt wasn't much, but it was persistent. Samantha had been prepared for this moment and knew that the time had come. She rose from her seat and made her way to the small room where Jack was working on a wooden crib for her baby.Breathing deeply to manage the subtle pain, Samantha stood in the doorway, watching Jack's skilled hands shaping the wood. She waited for a pause in his work before trying to speak."Jack," she s
That same night, they arrived at Jack's mother's small, home was kind of hidden in a quiet, rural village. It appears that Jack had already informed his mother of their coming, so immediately they arrived, she led them inside the house. As they entered, Samantha couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and peace. The house was warm with walls adorned with family photos and the sweet aroma of home-cooked meals lingering in the air.Samantha sat on a well-worn sofa, her thoughts continuing. Jack's mother, a kind and gentle woman with a warm smile, took a seat across from her. Emily, the ever-watchful friend of Samantha and her baby, remained close by.Jack sat beside Samantha and began to explain their situation to his mother, his voice filled with both determination and concern. He told his mother about Samantha's escape from a troubled past, the dangers she had faced, and the imminent arrival of a new life into her world—a life that brought hope and uncertainty in equal measure.Sama
In the stillness of the night, Alexander lay beside his wife, Elizabeth. His eyes seems to mirror the thoughts that were within him, taking sleep far from his eyes.

He turned to his wife and watched as her chest rose and fell in the rhythmic pattern of sleep, her face giving a sense of peace. "She appears peaceful." He muttered.For a moment, Alexander's thoughts drifted back in time.

The kitchen became enveloped in a heavy silence as Alexander stood alone, the weight of his confession still hanging in the air. His heart ached, not only from the pain of sharing the secret secret that has made him who people see him as but also from the fear of the consequences that lay ahead. Because he was afraid of what might happen next, He was unable to mention Samantha's name nor to offer any details of the woman he had been involved with.As the clock above his head ticked, he fought with the cat that he had just let out of the bag.

The sight of the well dressed man who had left Alexander's office and now sitting in his car made her to be more curious. She however decided to play along by keeping an eye on him to see what his intentions might be. With calculated steps, Elizabeth approached her own car, parked nearby.

After two days, Elizabeth decided to begin her own investigation. She waited for her husband to leave before she'll commence. She disguised herself and boarded a taxi. Her heart raced as she sat inside the taxi, watching the entrance of Alexander's office building like a security. She had already disguised herself in a simple outfit. A pair of jeans, a plain blouse, and a baseball cap pulled low to hide her face. She knew that if she was going to uncover the truth about "Thomas Sterling," she needed to blend into the background.As she waited, her mind buzzed with a several of thoughts and emotions. Her decision to investigate had been driven by a potent mixture of curiosity, distrust, and an unyielding desire to uncover the hidden secrets that had been kept from her intentionally and illegally as stated in their marriage document.

As the days went on, Elizabeth became driven to find Samantha. She has tried reaching her with different phone numbers but her line wasn't responding at all. After hours of thinking of how to reach her, her mind flashed to Mary. She quickly picked up her phone and dialed the number of Samantha's aunt, Mary, who had come to visit her niece while she was still working as a maid in their mansion. The conversation that followed was filled with careful inquiry and indirect questions.Mary's voice, though filled with surprise, carried a warmth that was hard to ignore. "Hello, Elizabeth.
