Birthday
Reeds Parker paced around the decorated birthday room, his phone plastered to his ears. He had been trying without success to get through to his wife for the past two hours. Just when he was about to give up, his wife's line went through. "Karyl," Reeds said. "Thank goodness you finally answered." "Two hours—you called me dozens of times. You’d better have a good explanation!" To Reeds’ surprise, Karyl’s voice was unusually cold. "Don’t you know I have extremely important work to do?”"Today is our daughter's birthday, Karyl," Reeds said hurriedly, anxious she might hang up if she grew irritated with him. "I decorated the house, baked a cake and invited a few friends. I was hoping you could come home for the occasion." "I can't make it, Reeds," Karyl said sharply. "I'm busy with work." Reeds face fell. "Darling, please, it's our daughter's birthday. You haven’t been home for the past two weeks, our daughter misses you terribly!”"It sounds to me like you're deaf, Reeds," Karyl sa

The Secret Heir Husband The conference meeting
The next day, a shareholders meeting was held in Karyl's company. The atmosphere of the room was charged with tension as Zayn stood up and broke the silence."I have an announcement to make," he paused to stare directly at Karyl who was seated at the other end of the table. "I'm withdrawing my investment. Every single cent."The conference room broke out in a collective gasp. So the rumours they all heard last night about Zayn pulling out his funding were true.The other shareholders and board members were alarmed by this new development. As the second largest shareholder, Zayn's exit would leave the company in a precarious position."But wait, this isn't a joking matter," a shareholder cried. "We'll be ruined without your funding.""We're in the middle of an expansion, Zayn. How do you expect us to recover from this?""Be reasonable, Mr. Raymond. Doing this would tank our stock prices overnight!""This is madness, we'll all go down if you pull out your funds. Do reconsider, please."

A taxi pulled up outside the giant iron gates of the Higgins residence.A line of household staff in red and white uniforms stood at attention along the driveway, their faces set. As Reeds opened the rear door and stepped out of the taxi along with Seraphina the household staff all bowed their heads deeply in perfect unison."Welcome back home, master Reeds!" They greeted Reeds.Reeds smiled for the first time that evening. This was far better than the ridicule and coldness he had experienced at Karyl's home."Dad, where are we?" Seraphina asked, looking confused.Before Reeds could answer her, Archibald emerged from the building and approached Reeds."Young master, it's so good to have you back home. And I see you brought the little Miss with you,” Archibald bowed slightly to Seraphina, “welcome to the Higgins household, miss Seraphina.”Reeds glanced at Seraphina. "This is Archibald, honey. He's my family's butler."Seraphina curtsey before Archibald. "Nice to meet you Sir."Reeds

Just as Zayn was about to make the call, Karyl stopped him."Mr. Raymond," she said, her voice pleading. "Please don't do this. For my sake, let it go. Do not inform the Higgins family about this."Zayn grimaced. "And why shouldn't I? Theft is a big crime in this part of our world. You of all people should know that.""I know," Karyl passed her tongue across her lips. "That's why I'm begging you not to call the Higgins family. I'll have The Tear of the Rose returned to you."Zayn slowly brought down his phone from his ears. "Now you're talking, Karyl. You do that. For the sake of your husband."Karyl turned to Reeds and ordered him, "Reeds, return the diamond to Mr, Raymond."Reeds gripped the necklace tighter. "I won't."Karyl frowned. "That wasn't a request, Reeds. You're setting a bad example for our child. You didn't have to steal to prove anything to anybody. Admit your mistake and do what's right."Reeds didn't say anything. He glanced at Seraphina.Karyl continued as she approa

The Tear of the Rose? The worth of the jewelry was over $10 million which means Reeds was telling the truth. This Revelation caused an outrage as everyone started arguing with one another over the genuity of the necklace. No one could believe the gem was real. There was no way. Zayn stepped forward, his eyes widened. "There must be a mistake. Are you sure of what you're saying?"Mr. Potts frowned. "Why not? I've been in this business for thirty years. This necklace is the real deal."Karyl stepped forward. "Mr. Potts is the most authoritative appraiser I'm the city. There's no way he could be wrong."Everyone became silent as they considered Karyl's words. If Mr. Potts says the necklace was the Tear of the Rose, then there was no doubting him.Reeds smiled. To see Karyl suddenly come for his defense made him happy. It seems she's finally starting to believe him.But his joy was short-lived as Karyl turned to him and spoke, "Reeds, I want you to turn yourself in."Reed's smile slipp

At this point, Reeds was sick and tired of the whole thing. No matter what he says, no one would believe him.What's the use? He didn't buy this gift just so he could prove anything to anybody."I refuse," Reeds replied to Zayn. "I don't need an appraiser to prove my gift is genuine. You brought a diamond gift for my mother-in-law. I don't see anyone demanding an appraiser to check if yours is real or fake."Reeds refusal to have his gift appraised was frowned upon by everyone."What's this?" Zayn inclined his head. "It seems like you're afraid you'll get exposed if your gift is appraised.""It's not that," Reeds said."Then What is?" Zayn fired back, turning to face the crowd. "If he's not afraid of getting exposed, then why is he refusing an appraiser? Sounds sketchy to me."The guests nodded in agreement with Zayn. A loud murmur broke out:"He's hiding something. If it's real, just prove it already!""Only a guilty man would refuse an appraiser.""Pathetic. This just confirms it's

Karyl folded her arms, her face as hard as nails. Everything that was occurring right now was all Reeds fault, she thought. If he hadn't presented such an inferior item, he wouldn't be ridiculed in the first place.Reeds watched Karyl's reaction closely, feeling a deep sense of disappointment settling deep in his bones. He knew deep down that no matter what he said, his wife wouldn't believe him. She had already revealed that in her actions. The way she refused to meet his eyes, the way she stood closer to Zayn than him. Only Seraphina, their daughter, stood up for him. His own wife was siding with another man against him while his daughter was out here, defending him.What kind of wife was Karyl anyway?At that moment, Zayn stepped up to Reeds, dangling the necklace from his fingers. "I believe this belongs to you," he handed Reeds the necklace, a jeering note in his voice. Reeds snatched it back from his hand without so much as a word. Zayn hides a smirk. He was enjoying Reed

All these while, Seraphina had been watching the whole scene in silence. She hated the way Zayn had humiliated her father publicly. She hated it more as no one else was coming for her father's defense. Not even her mother. "That was my dad's gift," she said sharply, frowning directly at Zayn. "You shouldn't have done that." Everyone including Zayn was startled at Seraphina's outburst. She looked so angry. Reeds regarded his daughter and saw how hurt she was. It must be overbearing for her to watch her father get humiliated in public like that. He shielded his daughter behind him and faced Zayn. "You have no rights to smash my gift to the floor, Zayn. Pupick it , now!" Zayn scoffed. "And why should I do that?" Reeds glared at him. "Because you obviously offended my daughter by dishonoring her father in public. You must make amends for that." Zayn was startled. He knew Reeds struck a good point. It sets a bad tone for Zayn if the little girl gets defensive of her father.

Everyone was so startled by Reed's gift that they couldn't speak for a while. However, the reaction Reeds got was not what he expected.Karyl's cousin laughed loudly. "$10 million. Do you take us for fools? There's no way you could afford such a thing. It's nothing more than an ordinary glass bead."A mocking laughter broke out across the hall as everyone considered this a possibility.Reeds is too broke to splurge $10 million on a diamond. He can't even afford groceries."Reeds," Madam Evelyn said, her eyebrows drawn to a frown. "How dare you embarrass me in front of my guests!""I'm not," Reeds said confidently. "I swear on my life. This diamond is real.""Madam Evelyn, if I may," Zayn said. "Reeds diamonds are fake. It's an incredibly good replica. I've seen ten of these everywhere."Reeds felt blood rush to his face. "It's real," Reeds clenched his teeth. "Don't say what you don't know."Karyl stepped before Reeds, her eyes fierce. "Reeds for once in your life, could you quit em

"I got it."Reeds fished out his phone and called Archibald. Archibald answered on the first ring."Hello, master Reeds," Archibald said. "I wasn't expecting your call this late. Is there a problem by any chance?""I want you to have a gemstone worth $10 million as a gift for my mother-in-law tomorrow night. I trust you know what to do," Reeds said.Archibald nodded. "Leave me to handle it, young master. The Higgins family would provide only the best to your mother-in-law. No one must outshine you come tomorrow."Reeds was impressed. He trusted his family not to disappoint him.* * * * The Rogers family held their family banquet the
