[Otis]The world was unfair. I had to suffer from rejection from my siblings and father and being bullied by friends at school and in the neighborhood. Growing up, people didn't change the way they looked at me.Yet those who hurt me seemed to forget what they had done in the past. How could she greet me and invite me to dinner without any guilt? She even smiled when she asked me to chat over a meal.What did she want to discuss with me? Did she want to mention all the horrible things she had done to me during school? The change in her demeanor must be because I appeared in public with a better status. I couldn't believe Emma would look at me, let alone say hello if I was penniless.“Are we going home, sir?” asked Jasper after he sat behind the steering wheel.“Yes.” I opened the tablet screen and checked the incoming messages.I was focused on checking the stock condition when the car suddenly stopped. Fortunately, we were still in the office neighborhood, so Jasper wasn't driving fa

[Camari]I couldn't believe Bella would go that low. She invited me over just to set me up. I didn't listen to what the people closest to me said twice and experienced awful things twice. I was such a fool.Mom and Dad must have been disappointed to see the news about me. Because of that, I was afraid to check missed calls and messages on the phone. The only thing I was brave enough to open was the news to know what happened. I didn't expect it to go viral in the media.Thankfully, I had friends who cared about me. Jasmine, Brad, Russell, and Emily were on hand to help Otis and me out of the hotel. Reporters swarmed not only the hotel but also the apartment and office. Ridiculous.I was nobody since my divorce from Farrell. The media had only shown the news about me as it was, unlike the news about Farrell and Bella, which made the front page. But one scandal and reporters were hunting for news about me.The solution to this problem was simple. I knew what the culprit wanted. She want

I was relieved that Camari spoke first. We hadn't discussed this after parting ways in the elevator because we hadn't expected our parents to come. I didn't even expect Father to tell me to marry Camari.I was a forty-year-old grown man, not a seventeen-year-old teenager. Seriously. Why would my parents still interfere with my life choices? Especially since he never wanted to know if I was alive or dead.“What do you have to say, Camari?” Father asked."Otis and I need to talk. Our future is our responsibility. I don't mean to be presumptuous, but I need to discuss it with him before I decide,” Camari explained."Okay. We're moving to—” James looked around him."No. Otis and I will talk outside. You guys stay here." Camari stood up. “Come on, Otis.”I looked around me before getting off the couch. Jasper and Nicole followed us out of the apartment. Camari walked to the elevator and stopped. She looked at her unit door before letting out a long breath.“I don't want to marry you,” Cama

The test revealed the same result that Angus and Otis were not biological father and son. It didn't say the applicant’s name, but the samples were Angus and Otis. I swallowed hard. The test result wasn’t one, but a dozen.I turned to Otis. His face paled, but he still looked calm. I let out a long breath. What would Father do looking at all that evidence? He stood at the podium calmly, waiting until all the reporters stopped talking."I don't know how you got hold of my secret documents, but those tests are all old. People gave them to me as proof Otis isn't my son. The downside of the tests is that I didn't do them myself,” Father confidently explained."They probably took my hair, toothbrush, or a blood sample when I had a routine medical exam. It might not be my hair or toothbrush." Father nodded to the operator, and the screen showed the first DNA test. “For this test, I gave my blood directly.”The reporters spoke to each other in response to Father's explanation. I breathed a si

A woman's heart was unpredictable. She could say she hated or mistreated someone but loved that person in her heart. Camari was my wife, and I wanted to make sure she didn't love another man in her heart.The question was too late. I should have asked when we got together with our parents. But I couldn't do that. Father urged us to get married, and Camari agreed. It was the first chance we had to talk together.“I'm still in love but don't want him,” she admitted. "I don't know how to explain that. We were together for six years, and it's not easy to let go of my feelings for him.""I understand. I loved Cathy, my late fiancée, and it took me a long time to let go of my feelings for her. Even though she lied to me and had an affair with Arnold." I chuckled."Really? I never heard Farrell's father had a mistress named Cathy,” she said."Her name is Cattleya Blair. You won't find any news about them anywhere. Father deliberately kept it from the media because it was a disgrace. He'll do
