The little boy stared at Stephen and blinked his wide hazel eyes.

Those eyes alone were enough to tell Stephen that the kid was his cousin’s. It was such a rare distinct eye color that there was no way the child wasn’t related to Hans.

“I want my auntie Hana!” The boy started to cry out, confusing Stephen and his companions.

The child didn’t look for his mother or great grandfather, rather he searched for the young woman who was resting in another room.

“Your auntie Hana isn’t feeling well, little boy.” Stephen said in a somewhat cold tone.

“Stephen!” Vanessa hissed as she pulled the child on her lap and gently stroked his head, trying to calm him down. “He’s a child, he might belong to the Ong family but he is innocent.”

Stephen was caught off guard by her words but wasn’t entirely surprised.

Vanessa had the tendency to see good in all people and to protect the most innocent of them all.

As a child, Paolo was one of the most innocent ones out there.

“I know you.” Paolo suddenly d

He always had the greater good in mind. Just to be on the safe side, John had also tied Hana to the posts of the bed ensuring that she wouldn’t be able to escape.Stephen had ordered him to stay in the room with Hana and to make sure that Stephen knew the moment she woke up.This gave John time to observe her.

    Stephen looked at John, surprised that Hana would react that way to the news of her grandfather and cousin being locked up for the rest of their lives. It was clear from her file that they weren’t close, but there weren’t any signs that she hated them. “Shouldn’t you want them to be freed?” Stephen asked as he cautiously eyed the young woman. She might seem innocent or act like she was weak, but Stephen had no intention of underestimating people. He had been on the receiving end of that often enough to know that it was sometimes the ones you least expected.Hana looked down, clearly feeling guilty about what she had said.“I don’t want to hurt you, Hana.” Stephen told the young woman in a calm and soothing tone. “I can see that you aren’t involved with your grandfather’s and cousin’s plans. I just need the truth from you so that I know how to move forward.”Hana hesitated as she looked at John and Stephen. “Your men kidnapped Pao Pao and I.” Hana pointed out.“True, but we haven’t

    Stephen was not surprised when Hana made a move to attack him. If his understanding was correct, she would kill for the child. Stephen also knew that a small woman like her wouldn’t be able to inflict much harm on him. He was much taller and was actually a very good fighter. Add to that the fact that he had John standing next to him.The man was so quick that even before Vanessa, Amalia, or Pao Pao could react, she was down on the ground. “Auntie Hana!” Pao Pao shouted as Vanessa helped him to his feet and let him run to his aunt.“Pao Pao! Pao Pao!” Hana shouted as John kept his strong grip on her. “It’s okay John you can let her go.” Stephen calmly told his second command. “I only wanted to see how she would react to all of this.”John nodded as he let go of Hana but kept himself between her and Stephen. “Guard Vanessa if you must.” Stephen instructed the man as he watched Hana pick Pao Pao up and look him over.“He is fine.” Stephen told the young woman. “I’ll get us some fo

    “Do you think the kid is really Stephen Cho’s son?” Alona Ty heard one of her friends from work said as they settled down at a cafe during their break from work. Since she was saved from her ex-fiance’s plans she had been slowly recovering with the help of her cousin, Vanessa, and her cousin’s husband, Stephen Cho. Alona now worked in the business development department of Cho Industries. She was not only getting on track with her career, but she was also now far away from her plotting and meddling Ty family.“It’s not unusual for rich men like Stephen Cho to have illegitimate children.” Another officemate said.“But Stephen Cho seems like the loyal type, one that doesn’t fool around.” Alona told them adding in her opinion.Of course she knew for a fact that Stephen was indeed extremely loyal to his wife, her cousin, and Vanessa had called her right after the news broke out.Unlike her officemates, Alona knew that Paolo Ong or as he would someday be known, Paolo Cho, was not Stephe

    “Do you think she’s in trouble?” Alona heard someone whispering behind her back.“I think the more important question is why Miss Javier was fighting with Mr. Wong. Everyone knows disrespecting Mr. Wong like that is practically like disrespecting Mr. Cho.” Alona did her best not to laugh, resulting in an awkward snort.Alona sped up her steps as she entered the elevator not wanting to cause more issues if the girls realized that she had heard them gossiping about her and Ina. “Oh, I didn’t expect to bump into you here.” Vanessa said, making Alona turn around and smile.“Vanessa!” Alona squealed as she hugged her cousin tight. “Auntie, who is this?” A small voice asked, making Alona look to the ground.She saw a little boy that had some similarities to Stephen and Amalia. “Is this Paolo?” Alona asked as she lowered herself to be at around the same height as the little boy. “You’re definitely a Cho.” She giggled, making the little boy take a step back and hide behind Vanessa’s legs.

    “I’m surprised Alona agreed.” Vanessa told her husband as Pao Pao now slept on his lap. Stephen had been watching the little boy, longing to have a child of his own. He was thinking about asking Vanessa if they could start trying when her voice pulled him from his thoughts.“What do you mean?” Stephen asked as he looked at his wife.He then pulled her closer and let her lean her head on him. This was the life he wanted, a family. “She hadn’t fully recovered from the devastation another member of the Cho family has inflicted on her.” Vanessa explained to her husband. “Do you think she would have been afraid of my cousin Hans?” Stephen scoffed. “Although, I have to admit, he is more dangerous than my uncle.”“Aren’t you afraid that he will come after you?” Vanessa gasped, suddenly sitting up. “You messed with him when he was young.”Stephen sighed and shook his head.“Hans and I used to be good friends, really good friends.” Stephen told Vanessa as he recalled his past. “It was just

    Stephen didn’t know how to react.He just stared at Vanessa when she announced that she was pregnant. He couldn’t even move since Pao Pao was sleeping on his lap. “Say something.” Vanessa said as her voice shook and broke. He could tell that she was worried about his reaction. “V- V- Vanessa, is it true, we’re going to be parents?” Stephen said as he stuttered. He was too much in shock, he was too happy. “Yes.” She said with a frown. “But I understand this wasn’t planned and you just took over, well temporarily took-”“No, no, I think this might be the third best day of my life.” Stephen said as he lifted his hand to wipe away a tear that had fallen from Vanessa’s eye. She started to laugh as it slowly sunk in that Stephen wasn’t mad that she was pregnant. “Did you really think I wouldn’t want to have a family with you?” Stephen asked as he pulled Vanessa to him and kissed her gently on the lips. He could feel her smile clearly relieved that Stephen was happy about her pregnanc

    Stephen and Vanessa decided that they would tell his mother and sister the news about Vanessa’s pregnancy after Hans’ visit. Stephen wanted all the attention to be on the little boy as his future was about to be decided. “It came back positive, by the way.” Stephen told Hana as she sat anxiously with Pao Pao on her lap. “Positive?” She asked with a confused look on her face.She was like this most of the time, she often seemed lost and confused, but in reality she was just processing too much confusing herself.“The DNA test.” Stephen told Hana. He had intentionally decided not to tell anyone about the results until Hans had met Pao Pao, but it seemed important to mention it to Hana now.“He’s my cousin’s son. So he is a member of the Cho family, just not my son.” Stephen said with a shrug as Hana nodded and didn’t say a word.Everyone had already expected this outcome, Stephen had managed to get his hands on the video recordings of that night and he saw Hans enter the wrong room.

    “The Lu family is working with the underworld?” Hans asked as he glanced at his cousin in disbelief. Over the years the Underworld was one part of Marina City that both families had failed to control. If the Lu family managed to pull into their fold the leaders of the Underworld and Stephen was not the head of the Essen Mafia, they would have easily crushed the Cho family.“They don’t, sir. At least not yet.” John clarified as he spoke to the cousins over the phone.“What do you mean?” Hans asked.“No one person can rule over the underworld of Marina City, let alone this country.” John told Hans. “The city and this country is too diverse for any one person to take control. There is also the matter of people like the Lu and Cho families that make taking control even more difficult.”“Isn’t the Essen Mafia powerful enough to get them to follow?” Hans asked as he looked at his cousin.“Not as just the Essen Mafia.” Stephen said with a smile on his lips. “Huh?” Hans was now even more

    When Stephen declared the changes when it came to who would inherit the Cho family fortune in the future, Ina was no longer able to keep the reporters in line.Stephen decided to end the press conference there and move on.He, Vanessa, and Hans all left the stage and returned to Stephen’s office at the top floor. They were greeted by Paolo’s laughter as they entered the room, he was playing with Amalia and Robert. “Shouldn’t you be putting out the fire I just started downstairs?” Stephen asked as he gave Robert an amused look.His friend was never big on children.As a matter of fact, Robert was probably the one that was most against having children in their friend group. So it was quite the surprise for Stephen to see Robert happily playing with a child.“They don’t need me to put out that fire.” Robert chuckled as his phone began to ring next to him.“Shi-” Robert began to curse.“Language!” Both Hans and Stephen shouted, making Robert jump in surprise. “You two are going to scar

    Next Heirs

    Paolo Cho was a handsome child, it was something that the reporters couldn’t deny. He had received amazing genes from the Fredrikson, Ong, and Cho families, making him probably one of the best looking children around.But when Paolo Cho smiled he won the hearts of everyone in the crowd, even those that wanted to speak badly of the Cho and Fredrikson families.They might have been bribed by the Ong families and their allies, but there was no denying that Pablo Cho was happy.Pablo waved at the crowd and smiled. He then hugged his father as he shied away from the crowd again.People couldn’t blame the little boy, he had lived his entire life in hiding and now, all of a sudden he was in front of hundreds of people. Every single one of the reporters wanted to snap a photo of him or his father.

    Press Conference 2

    “Ah, I see you’ve noticed it.” Stephen said as he saw the confused expression on some of the reporters' faces.Not everyone had seen a DNA test in the past. Normally when businessmen and actors were trying to prove they were not the father of a child, the match would be much lower compared to what was flashed on the screen.“Allow me to explain for those who are seeing a DNA test for the first time.” Stephen said with a smile. “The report you are seeing behind me says that I am somehow related to Gabrielle Ong’s child. Now for those that are familiar with the genealogy of the Ong and Cho families, we are not in any way related.”The members of the media nodded as they slowly absorbed the information that Stpehen was telling them.Most were genuinely surprised at how kind Stephen sounded and at how willing he was to explain the situation to them.Normally, leaders in the same position as Stephen had little to no patience to explain trivial thing such as these, but Stephen took his tim

    Press Conference Part 1

    The parking lot of Philip Tower was filled with people chatting among themselves.It was no mystery what the Cho family was about to announce, they all knew that the biggest issue of that time was if Stephen Cho did or didn’t have an illegitimate child.Many people claimed that it was just a ploy of the Ong family to get their members out of jail.Others said that there was truth to it, especially since Gabrielle Ong was Stephen’s ex girlfriend.No matter what rumor people believed they all still wanted to be there. They all wanted to hear the truth and they all wanted to report it first. Inside the lobby of Philip Tower, Stephen looked out at the crowd that had formed.He had never expected that these many people would be interested in their personal lives. He thought that mostly gossip columnists would appear, but it seemed that every kind of reporter stood in their office’s parking lot.“You can’t seriously be surprised.” Hans said as he stood next to his cousin.“I just didn’t th

    “We need to make a press release, the media will not leave us alone if we don’t.” Amalia told her brother as they sat around the meeting table in his office.Among those Stephen had invited were people he believed were crucial when it came to the matter of Paolo Cho’s identity.“Have you gotten the Ong family under control?” Stephen asked as he looked to his cousin.He knew that only a few days had passed and that Hans had his hands full watching over Paolo, but they needed to make sure that the Ong family wouldn’t cause them problems.“Almost, there are still some who are trying to question my ability.” Hans said with a malicious grin. “My people are making sure they understand who I am today.”Stephen nodded, impressed by Hans’ efficiency with dealing with the matter of the Ong family.“So we can schedule a press release today, the news agencies will publish it tomorrow and everything will be settled.” Amalia said as she thought of the timeline in her head.“No, we won’t just releas

    Miguel Villanueva's Departure

    Miguel and Manuel might come from a weaker family than the Cho’s but they had begun as Stephen’s friends, so Stephen decided to accompany Miguel to the airport the next day.He had offered for Miguel to use his private jet and the younger Villanueva brother happily accepted the offer.Stephen and Manuel stood on the tarmac with Miguel as they said their final goodbyes.“I’m guessing I won’t see you for a while, boss.” Miguel teased him.Technically now it was true that Stephen was their boss. With the trade to protect their family name, they were more like his henchmen doing his bidding rather than his partners through a treaty.“Most likely.” Stephen said with a nod.His wife was pregnant and he had no intentions of leaving her alone for too long. “I just wanted to say, thank you.” Miguel told Stephen. “You helped us back then and you helped us again now. Jacob would have ruined our family if news got out about his cases.”Stephen nodded, then he realized something, he forgot to as

    The Villanueva Name

    Stephen had been exhausted by the night before.Paolo had woken up in the middle of the night and cried out for both Hans and Stephen. Stephen had been sleeping with the little boy at the time, but he refused to calm down unless his Daddy Hans was there.It seemed Paolo had settled on what to call them.Hans was Daddy, and Stephen was Papa. In the same way, he called Vanessa his Mama. When Stephen had asked a maid to call for Hans, his cousin seemed like he was about to burst into tears because his son had called for him.“Boss?” Andrew called, waving his hand in front of Stephen. “Sorry, Paolo had a hard time sleeping after yesterday’s incident. What were you saying Andrew?”Stephen asked as he tried to focus on the discussion at hand.“The bidding for the latest piece of land that that government has put up for sale starts in a week. The procurement director wanted to ask if you wished to purchase it.” Andrew informed Stpehen as he handed him the details of the piece of property.
