"Nope, I haven't been able to connect with him," he admitted, his voice tinged with a note of defeat. He glanced at her, searching her eyes for a clue. "Did you want to see him?" he asked, his brows furrowing with genuine concern.Her response was a silent nod, accompanied by a glimmer of hope in her eyes. She longed to deliver the message to him, to let him know that she no longer possessed their child. But her voice betrayed the heaviness that burdened her heart, the pain of losing a precious life."I just want to let him know," she whispered, her words laced with deep sorrow. "I don't have his child anymore." The weight of her confession hung in the air, carrying all the emotions and intensity of her shattered dreams. A sense of resignation washed over her, realizing that with his absence, she might have to release her grip on what could have been.In that poignant moment, their gazes held the weight of unspoken longing, understanding, and shared grief. The room seemed to hold its
"You are right, we need to help those girls," he said, his voice filled with a mix of concern and purpose. As his words sank in, he found himself grappling with the weight of what had been said, pausing for a moment to digest it all.With a resolute tone, he added, "I will try to find more details and see how we can sort this out." His determination reverberated in every word he spoke, underscoring his commitment to taking swift and cautious action. As he hung up the call, he wasted no time in reaching out to Alicia, recognizing her as a vital ally in this endeavor."What's up, Stephen? Any updates?" came the voice from the other end of the line, filled with anticipation and curiosity."There's a big problem," he stated, his voice tinged with urgency, conveying the seriousness of the situation. As he spoke, Stephen's mind was ablaze, dissecting the details and analyzing every aspect of the predicament."What's the problem?" she demanded, her curiosity piqued by the intensity in his to
"You are the professional in this aspect," he said dismissively, his voice tinged with a hint of superiority. His words carried an air of nonchalance, as though Alicia had already made up her mind and was simply seeking validation. With a slight nod of gratitude, she acknowledged the recognition of her expertise. Although his dismissive tone might have irked others"Thanks for believing in my strength," she replied graciously, her voice carrying a touch of sincerity. Her appreciation was evident in her expressive gaze, which sparkled with genuine gratitude. "I will be at home soon. Don't come late" he instructed before ending the call. A few minutes later, the house bell rang, jolting the tranquility of the surroundings. Reacting swiftly, one of the maids hurried through the hallways towards the front entrance, ready to greet the visitor who awaited on the other side. It was Alicia, a striking presence dressed immaculately in an ensemble that exuded sophistication. As the door cre
Dad, are you sure? This ID belongs to the exact same person you've been talking about," Stephen replied, his eyes scanning the details on the document.With a firm nod, his father responded, "I know I can't be mistaken. These people are wicked. God only knows how many innocent children have fallen into their snares. This is the climax of it all," his voice brimming with anger."I think we should get back at them by finding a way to expose their misdeeds publicly," Alicia suggested with a glint of revenge in her eyes. However, Stephen shook his head in disagreement, his expression filled with caution."Taking matters into our own hands in such a manner would be the wrong choice," he replied, his voice calm yet resolute. "We must stick to the plan we originally discussed. We cannot engage in any actions that go against the law. What if, in the process, a life is lost?"Alicia's brows furrowed with frustration, but she couldn't help but acknowledge the validity of Stephen's concerns. She
"I will see you off," Stephen said, his voice gentle and reassuring, as Alicia stood before him, fully prepared for her departure. The room was filled with a quiet ambiance, softening the atmosphere and adding a sense of solemnity to the moment."Yes, you should," Mr Wesley says, his words laced with a touch of concern. "I'll be in the room with your mother." He says to Stephen before facing Alicia, there was a flicker of admiration in his eyes as he looked at Alicia. "Alicia, I must say, I am truly impressed by your work. Your intelligence shines through in everything you do."Alicia's gratitude blossomed on her face as she gracefully accepted Stephen's compliments. "Thank you so much, Mr. Wesley," she replied sincerely, her voice conveying a sense of genuine appreciation. "You are a truly kind-hearted man, and I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to meet you once again."As Alicia spoke, she couldn't help but notice a flicker of doubt briefly crossing Stephen's face. It was
"Wow," Mrs. Wesley exclaimed, her voice filled with surprise and amusement. "This is more serious than I thought. I mean, I thought I was just watching a live show!" Her laughter erupted, shaking her body with unrestrained mirth.President Karen nodded in agreement, her expression mirroring the amusement in the room. "Tell me about it," she chimed in, joining the laughter that filled the air.But amongst the joyous uproar, Nathan's tone turned sharp, his words dripping with frustration. "You should go get some manners, because it's obvious you lack them," he asserted firmly. "You don't come to my house and start shouting."Alicia's voice rose, her voice laced with a touch of defiance. "Your house? You must be one of the housekeepers," she retorted, her eyes narrowing with defiance.The tension in the room grew palpable as Nathan's anger flared. "Did you just look down on me?" he fired back, his voice filled with simmering intensity.The room fell into an uncomfortable silence as the w
"He doesn't have to apologize," she murmured quietly, her voice tinged with a mix of guilt and resignation. In that moment, it became clear to her that placing blame solely on the other person was a convenient escape from the truth. "It was all my fault," she confessed, her words dripping with a raw honesty that cut through the air.A somber expression clouded her face as she cast her gaze downward, her eyes fixated on the ground as if searching for answers within the cracks of the pavement. The weight of her carelessness settled heavily upon her, pressing down on her shoulders like an invisible burden. Regret gnawed at her with unrelenting persistence, each pang a reminder of the consequences that could have been avoided."I should have been more careful," she admitted, her voice now laced with a touch of self-reproach. The admission hung in the air, lingering between them like an unspoken promise of self-improvement. It was an acknowledgement of her misjudgment, and a resolve to lea
"You can give me a call if you are available, and if you find it more convenient, I completely understand," he offered, his voice laced with a friendly and approachable tone. As he spoke, he revealed that he had already distributed his contact card, emphasizing his willingness to engage with others.With a genuine smile, she graciously accepted the card, portraying her eagerness to connect. In that moment, it was clear that she didn't require any additional time to ponder the decision. "I don't need any more time to contemplate," she expressed confidently. "The thought has already been thoroughly examined, and I have come to a resolute acceptance." Her firm response left everyone astounded by her decisiveness and unwavering certainty.Nathan, somewhat taken aback, questioned her sincerity regarding such a significant matter. "Are you truly serious about this?" he inquired, his tone tinged with a hint of concern. He gently suggested that taking some time to reflect might be beneficial,
