After Alden left, Aurora finished the breakfast he had provided. Just as she took the last spoonful, Rayyen knocked on the door and walked in.The two of them had made plans. Last night, when Aurora arrived home, she immediately contacted her cousin. She outlined the main issues that were happening and asked Rayyen to visit her at the hospital before going to his Law Firm."So, it's your mother-in-law who instructed Nicole to get close to Alex from the beginning? Outrageous!"Aurora nodded, confirming Rayyen's recent question. Even her cousin couldn't believe how heartless Savana had been."Yeah. Because she didn't like me from the start, thinking I couldn't give Alex children, she dared to ask another woman to seduce Alex.""Then just file for divorce, Aurora. Don't wait any longer. What is there to hold onto?"Aurora nodded. Regardless of the reasons, she couldn't continue her relationship with Alex."I am filing for divorce today, Ray. That's why I appointed you to handle everythin
Nicole never forgets last night's events when she revealed her pregnancy to Alex and Aurora's family.Of all people, only Savana seemed supportive and trusting. Alex even questioned, seeming to doubt the situation he was facing."Are you really pregnant?" Shortly after Aurora was picked up by the driver, Alex approached Nicole. After a moment of silence, he finally asked the question."Do you think I'm joking? This isn't a joke, Alex!"Alex's eyes briefly closed followed by a soft sigh. Instead of happiness, his head only felt more dizzy hearing about Nicole's pregnancy."Since when?"It was Nicole's turn to sigh. Slowly, she gave an explanation."Do you remember our last date in Singapore? Since we got back from there, I haven't had my period.""But, haven't you always been taking birth control?""Yeah, but that time I intentionally didn't take it."Nicole responded casually, as if the pregnancy had been planned. "Besides, if you forgot, ever since Aurora didn't want to be touched,
After confirming Nicole's pregnancy with the obstetrician, Aurora returned to her workspace followed by Rayyen and Asher. Along the corridor, the lawyer couldn't stop protesting. He continuously grumbled in frustration and annoyance at Aurora's decision.Rayyen felt Aurora was overly patient. She seemed naive for readily complying with Savana's unreasonable demands."For heaven's sake, I don't understand your thought process, Aurora."Once in the room and after closing the door, Rayyen continued to protest. He tried to make Aurora realize not to surrender to the intimidation from her mother-in-law."Yet..." Rayyen continued. "You could just stand up to Nicole and Mrs. Savana. They've both really humiliated your sister. Plus, why not let me shut them up by telling them about Alex who can't actually have children. Besides, you have the medical evidence."Aurora, who was already seated at her desk, nodded. Her face appeared calm. She even managed a smile."Patience, Ray. Do you think I'm
Alex feels incredibly lazy to go home. It's only been a day since Nicole started living with him, and she's already exhibiting all sorts of behaviors that irritate him.Despite Alex's memories of their secret relationship when Nicole seemed so delightful, every time they were together, his mistress often made him both fond and longing. But why does she appear so annoying now that they're under the same roof?"Why are you in my room?"That night, Alex arrived home exhausted and with a headache from thinking about divorce and tiredness from work. He was taken aback when he entered the guest room and found Nicole lying on the bed. After all, there were three guest rooms in the house. Why did Nicole choose the same one as him?"I'm tired, Nicole. Please go back to your room."Alex politely requested. For God's sake, he was seriously tired and not in the mood to deal with this. But instead of complying with Alex's request, Nicole sounded petulant."I want to sleep with you, Alex.""Sleep w
Asher had lost count of how many times he had tapped his fingers on the table. His brain seemed to be working hard, trying to figure out how to unravel the mystery of who the man was that had impregnated Nicole.From the medical results provided by Ezra, it was clear that Alex was indeed diagnosed with infertility. The amount of sperm he produced was significantly lower than that of a normal man. That's why Alex had difficulty fertilizing. Even if he underwent treatment, it would take quite some time."Asher... sorry to disturb you. These are the examination results of the patient who just underwent surgery."Alden arrived and immediately handed over the file containing the diagnosis results of the patient he had just handled. Seeing Asher nodding disinterestedly, Alden became curious."What's wrong? Is there a problem with the patient?"Asher shook his head."No. It's about Aurora."Hearing Aurora's name mentioned, Alden became instantly interested. It seemed like he knew what his co
Asher really didn't want to waste much time solving the puzzle of who the man was that had impregnated Nicole. In the evening, after work hours, the Arab descendant decided to visit the apartment where Alden had been living.Hearing from Alden that he had caught Nicole entering the apartment with another man twice made Asher curious. Even though the man Alden saw might not necessarily be the one who impregnated her, Asher still wanted to check and make sure. Who knows, after confirming it himself, he might get clues to stop the cunning game Nicole was playing.At exactly six o'clock in the evening, Asher's sleek black Rubicon, which he often drove, was neatly parked in the BVLGARI apartment parking lot. Accompanied by Alden, he went straight to the security room to request access to the CCTV footage to check Nicole's movements recently.Initially, the apartment security didn't grant permission. However, after giving a reasonable explanation and persistently trying to convince them, As
"Darling... how are you? Are you feeling well?"In the evening, Savana deliberately took the time to visit Alex's house. Not to see her son or Aurora, but to check on Nicole's condition, who was suspected to be pregnant with her grandchild.Savana seemed very happy. She even brought many snacks and fruits to give to Nicole."My pregnancy is fine, Mom. Physically, I'm healthy. But mentally, I'm not."Savana immediately frowned. Overall, Nicole seemed fine. So why did she say her mental health wasn't good? Was her new daughter-in-law feeling stressed during her stay with Alex and Aurora?"Why are you not feeling well? What's wrong, dear? Do you have any problems?""I'm not happy living here.""Why is that?" Savana pursued, becoming more curious. "Why aren't you happy?""It's all because of Aurora, Mom..."Nicole's lips curled. Her spoiled behavior clearly showed she wanted attention. And knowing that Savana would defend her, Nicole became even more presumptuous."What's wrong with Auror
Alex had just returned home from work feeling extremely tired. In the final days at Lumire, he had been rushing to complete all tasks and responsibilities before officially resigning.Upon entering the house, Alex found his mother and Nicole sitting in the dining room, having dinner. There wasn't anything wrong per se. However, there was a sight that bothered Alex at that moment.Through his eyes, he saw the dining table in a very messy state. There were many piles of food boxes, paper bags, and scattered plastic utensils."Mom..."Alex spoke up. Instantly, Savana and Nicole's attention shifted to the handsome man standing not far from the dining table."What are you doing, Mom?""Just having dinner. What else?"Knowing it was dinner time didn't solve anything. But really, that wasn't the answer Alex was hoping for."Yes, Alex knows. I mean, why is it so messy like this? And there's spilled food on the tablecloth."Savana sighed. While continuing to chew and enjoy her dinner, she trie
