Alonso sighed heavily as he stepped into the bustling hospital, the weight of the past week's events hanging heavily on his shoulders. It had been one hell of a rollercoaster ride, filled with unexpected twists and turns that he could never have anticipated. The pressure of Lyra's pregnancy had been suffocating. He knew deep down that the child she carried wasn't his, but circumstances had forced him to play along, to act as if it was his own. And now, both Lyra and James had discovered the truth, using it as leverage to blackmail him for money he didn't even have. It felt like his whole world was unraveling before his eyes.

Perry took a deep breath, knowing that this conversation would be difficult, but also knowing that Mia deserved to know the truth. She recounted the events of that fateful day, describing the attack and the subsequent investigation that led to the capture of the culprit. She reassured Mia that she was safe now, and that they had taken all the necessary precautions to ensure her security. Listening intently, Mia absorbed the information, grateful for the closure she had finally received. Her heart ached for the pain Perry had endured during her kid
As the internet buzzed with excitement and well-wishes for Alonso and Perry's upcoming wedding, Philip found himself engulfed in a completely different state of mind. While everyone celebrated their love, Philip harboured deep resentment and a burning desire to stop the wedding altogether. His mother's constant pressure only added fuel to the fire, warning him of dire consequences if he failed to intervene.

Over the next few days, Lyra discreetly conducted her own investigations and found out that James and Philip were in this together. She reached out to Alonso, seeking a private conversation where she could share her concerns and suspicions about James. Alonso's curiosity piqued and he listened attentively, his own doubts and uncertainties surfacing. Lyra shared her own reservations about James' true intentions and the potential harm his plan could cause on the wedding day, using her as an instrument “Are you sure about all you have told me about James?” Alonso questioned Lyra thoroughly as his heartbeat increased “Do you think I will spend and waste my time for nothing? You seem to have forgotten the part

Alonso pressed a gentle kiss to Perry's forehead, his voice filled with love. "Tomorrow, we'll make a lifelong promise to each other. I can't wait to see you walking down the aisle, my beautiful bride." Perry looked up at him, her eyes filled with surprise at Alonso's words. "you are aware that this is just a show we are putting on right? It is not real so stop acting like it is and just let us enjoy this cool evening. Just stick to the plan and everything will be fine” she said “and also save the kiss for the main show” It was finally the day the whole city have been waiting for, their wedding day.

How dare you turn against us?" Lyra's voice quivered, but she refused to waver. "You didn't give me anything. You manipulated and controlled me. But not anymore." Alonso, his voice filled with a mix of sadness and hope, spoke up. "Lyra, is this true? Did they really do this?" Lyra turned to Alonso, her eyes glistening with tears. "I'm so sorry, Alonso. I let them
