“I apologize for whatever inconvenience my daughter caused, sir. Nothing of that sort will occur again,” Mr. Watson pleaded, causing Fiona to furrow her brows in confusion.

“Dad, what are you doing?! You are only ruining things!” Fiona yelled, but Mr. Watson kept his head in that bent position, not paying heed to Fiona’s statement.

Then, Alex coughed, breaking the silence the room was enveloped in.

“It’s fine, as long as my wife is not offended,” Alex responded, and with that, Mr. Watson bowed his head again, as he muttered, “Thank you so much, sir!”

Afterward, he left Diana and Alex’s side quickly, while Fiona followed him.

“Dad, what was that all about?! Why did you do that in everyone’s presence?” Fiona questioned, almost bursting into tears since she felt like her whole ego had been destroyed.

“I will explain everything to you later. For now, keep your mouth shut,” Mr. Watson instructed, before shifting his gaze to the stage.

Just then, Ben, who is also the hospital’s director too

    “Alright, then let's move out of here. She won't be permitted to stay in my villa, so let's stay there instead,” Alex responded, but with that, Diana considered the options carefully.“It is better to stay in the same villa with Rex and make him happy while he is alive than to leave him when he needs us the most,” she thought.“It’s fine, I will stay in the guest room,” Diana replied, and Alex heaved a sigh of relief.“But...” She continued, before whispering, “Stay away from her. I’m sure she has an evil plan, so please stay away from her while she is here.”Alex nodded, intending to resolve the misunderstanding, and he pulled Diana into a soft embrace, before mumbling, “I will keep my distance.”***Bella’s phone rang loudly, but when she touched her phone, it displayed the caller ID - Unknown Number.At first, she didn't answer the call but when she recalled that Garrett constantly changed his phone number, she answered the call, assuming that it was her brother, Garrett.“Bella?”

    The call ended and Bella blew out her cheeks in relief.“What a day! Finally, I can be free and I don't have to stoop so low to begging a poor, fat duck,” Bella uttered, then she reached for the door to leave the room, only for the door to barge open.Click-clack!Click-clack!Click-clack!A few maids walked into the room, causing Bella to sneer because they didn't knock before they barged into the room.“Hey, why did you barge in that way?!” Bella growled, and a maid turned to her politely, before answering her question, “Sir Alex instructed us to pack his and Ma. Diana’s belongings.”“What? I mean... Why? Are they leaving this villa?” Bella questioned quickly, and the maid shook her head in response.“No, they are only moving to the guest room,” the maid replied, then she assisted the other maids in packing Alex and Diana’s belongings. Meanwhile, Bella smirked, “The game has just begun,” before she gently folded her arms across her chest.***A Bugatti car was neatly parked in a pa

    The receptionist’s eyes widened as she tried to process what Juliet said. “Mr? Mrs. Juliet referred to this poor man as Mr?” She thought, then she rolled her eyes and shook her head in disbelief.“No, maybe I misunderstood her actions. But why would the manager, who earns double or triple my salary bow to the poor man I insulted? Is he from an influential background?!” She thought, before turning to Juliet who raised her head and faced Alex.“Nice to meet you, Mr. Alex! But I'm surprised you came,” Juliet exclaimed, a wide grin appearing on her face like she would earn billions of dollars by grinning.“Ma, do you know him?” The receptionist asked cautiously, her voice quivering a bit, with curiosity tinged in it. She was very eager to know the reason why Juliet was treating Alex with respect again, since she was certain that she heard Juliet say Mr. Alex again. Meanwhile, Alex smirked at her question. He knew that she would be surprised to know that he was wealthy, but as life ofte

    As soon as the cake fell, Diana grabbed Bella by her arm before retorting, “What is the meaning of all these?! Do you know how much effort Mrs. Barbara put into baking that cake?!”Then, Mrs. Barbara's shoulders dropped. She had put a lot of effort into making the cake beautiful but here it was, lying on the floor without being tasted by anyone.Bella snickered in response, “Much effort or much poison? Do you really trust that fat duck?” Bella questioned, before pushing Diana’s hand away from hers.“What are you talking about?” Alex inquired, meanwhile, Barbara's eyes became teary.Folding her arms across her chest, Bella responded, “Well, I'm talking about that fat duck named Barbara. The cake is poisoned, you fools!”“What?” Alex and Diana chorused, while Barbara sobbed softly.“Bella, how can you say that to me? I've been serving Mr. Rex for over twelve years so why will I poison his son now?” Barbara uttered sniffling, and with that, Diana approached her as she tried to console he

    “Ohh... Really?” Alex inquired, before gazing at Diana’s stomach. He sighed, then he muttered, with his voice tinged with disappointment, “Alright, maybe I was just overexaggerating.”“Yeah, but you are okay with that, right?” Diana questioned and Alex nodded, his lips curving into a reassuring, but slightly strained smile. “Sure, sure,” he replied, trying to mask his lingering disappointment.“So how is it at work? You seem to be very busy now and it seems like you get very exhausted when you get back from work lately. How about you have a break on Saturday and Sunday?”“Well, I have a lot of work piled up, so I don't think a break is necessary. In fact, Theo assists me, and a responsible man filled the CEO position for Luxe Horizon, which means I'm not that busy anymore,” Alex replied, and with that, Diana noticed his sudden change of mood.“You sound different. Did I sound rude the other time?”“No, you were not rude.”“Then... Is it about having a baby?”“Sort of, but not based

    Feeling heartbroken about what Thomas said, Rita clenched her fist as she tried to stop a tear from streaming down her cheek.If she was not Thomas’s girlfriend, then who is Thomas’s girlfriend?“My girlfriend’s name is Iris,” Thomas declared, causing Rita’s jaw to drop, although his statement was also a lie.With that, Fiona grabbed Thomas by his collar before yelling, “How dare you say that in my presence! I am your fiancée!”“Let go of me!” Thomas retorted, then he pushed Fiona’s hands away from his collar.Thud!She fell as a result of the push and Thomas muttered, “I don’t want to see you here anymore. So it's best you leave silently or else, I will call the security guards to thrash you out.”Fiona gazed at Thomas’s face as if searching for a trace of the loving boyfriend she once knew. Tears streamed down her cheeks, before her voice quivered, “No, Thomas, you can't do that to me. I loved you-” But before she could continue her statement, Rita had already instructed the securi

    “Father-in-law?” Fiona coughed, causing Alex to interfere quickly.“Please there is no need for any unnecessary argument. You are Thomas’s girlfriend, right?” Alex uttered, and Fiona gave him a disdainful glare quickly, “No, I am his fiancée...”She paused, “But why do you ask?”“Great!” Alex exclaimed, before gesturing toward Diana, “That means you both are sisters-in-law, so no need to keep antagonizing Diana.”“What?!” Fiona shouted in shock. Without thinking twice, she turned to Thomas who seemed uninterested in whatever they were discussing.“Thomas, is it true? You and that miserable thing are brothers?” Fiona questioned since she assumed that Alex was a poor, miserable man who matches Diana’s unlucky self and can never be related to her hardworking, and rich Thomas.“Step-brothers,” Thomas voiced out, correcting her statement. Then, Fiona gasped in horror before he continued his statement, “Can we go see Dad now?”“Sure,” Fiona replied, not wanting to make Thomas annoyed.Thoma

    Creak!The door to the ward opened while Fiona’s attention was focused on the television she was watching. As soon as she heard the creaking sound, she shifted her gaze to the door, then she spotted Diana and Alex walking into the ward.

Afterward, she cut all ties with Thomas and canceled their relationship, disabling Thomas from exploiting money from her and her father.Also, Jeffrey walked into the ward but Fiona was not bothered about him. Upon seeing Alex and Diana's faces again, she cursed loudly, “Those miserable things and their bad luck!”“Hey, are you awake?” Diana questioned with a soft voice, but Fiona gave her a disdainful gaze before yelling, “How did you two get here?!”“We are in a hospital, Fiona. You should not shout here,” Alex declared quickly, causing Fiona to roll her eyes. Diana uttered with a sigh, “Fiona, the doctor claimed that you got poisoned.”“

    At Evelyn’s villa, the maid escorted Fiona to the living room, and Fiona reached there, waiting for Evelyn patiently. As soon as Evelyn reached her side, Fiona approached her and muttered, “I need to talk to you.” “Alright, have your seat,” Evelyn responded, gesturing toward a nearby couch. Hastily, Fiona sat on the couch, and she spoke, “Ma. Evelyn, you need to listen to this recording. It is a conversation I recorded between Mrs. Bella and I.” As soon as she completed her statement, she played an audio she recorded which revealed how Bella intended to kill Daisy and have the entire empire to herself. Fortunately, Fiona didn’t follow Bella’s orders because she understood how it would feel if she was in the victim’s shoe. Also, the other time she injected a fluid into the IV fluid bag that was connected to Alex, it was the normal fluid she was supposed to inject. But, she pretended like it was a bad fluid, just in case Bella had a spy that was watching her. “Gosh, I knew she wa

    “His entire empire?” Fiona mouthed, dumbfounded with Bella’s plan.“Yes. Now, get back to work,” Bella rasped before ending the call. She took a peek at the maid approaching her with a glass of juice then she gazed at her warily, recalling that the maid was always around her whenever she received a call. As soon as the maid placed the glass of juice on the table, Bella smiled, and she picked it up. She pretended to take a sip from the juice, and she got engaged with her phone.Meanwhile, the maid walked to a corner that had no CCTV camera, and she pulled out her phone to dial a phone number.The phone number was nicknamed, ‘Boss, Thomas.’As soon as Thomas answered the call from the other end, she narrated everything she heard quickly, while Thomas chuckled at Bella’s plan.After the maid completed the narration, Thomas instructed her to continue her work and he ended the call swiftly.Pushing her phone into her pocket, the maid turned around to leave, but what stood before her fri

    “You have been diagnosed with liver cancer,” Diana explained, approaching his bed with steady steps.She pulled out a chair, pushed it towards Alex’s hospital bed and she sat on it.“Yes, Grandma Evelyn told me today,” Alex replied softly, his voice sounding weak and slow.“As your primary nurse, I will advise you to have more rest.”“Alright.”“Also, be careful. Something fishy is going on with Bella, but thank goodness, Fiona is the doctor taking care of you. She is more trustworthy than Doctor Ben-” Diana uttered, then she paused upon realizing that Alex’s eyes got shut.“I will leave you to rest then,” she uttered. She understood that he had fainted, and with his present condition, he needed more rest. So, she moved away from the chair, intending to leave the ward.Just as she was about to leave, Fiona walked in with a fake smile on her face, and her hands were dipped in her lab coat’s large pockets.“You must be working very hard to make him better,” Fiona muttered, gazing at Ale

    Diana’s stomach clenched with worry as she absorbed Bella’s statement. Slowly, she released her hands from Bella’s collar with a web of worry lines forming on her face.“You let Daisy be in that condition because of your greed. Don’t you have any soul?” Diana asked, causing Bella to huff and straighten her blouse.“No, you are the one who allowed her to be in that condition. Stay away from Alex and I will stay away from your family. Also, you should visit your daughter at the hospital. She needs her mama,” Bella spoke sarcastically and she walked away with her head held high.Just then, Diana’s anger turned into concern, and she rushed out of the villa, intending to meet Daisy who had been admitted to the hospital.***“Ma. Evelyn, the CT scan reveals that Alex has liver cancer, and thank goodness we found out earlier; otherwise, it could have been too late,” Fiona uttered, causing Evelyn to gasp in shock.“But he will be treated as soon as possible, right?”“Yes,” Fiona replied with

    Evelyn’s statement rang in Bella’s head and she stammered, “What?” with her body trembling at the statement, ‘Get rid of her.’“Guards, you should do your job or you will be fired. Meanwhile, Diana and Fiona should follow me,” Evelyn instructed and without a second thought, Bella moved away, being aware that the guards would definitely obey her.Immediately she moved away from them, she shot a glare at Diana, then, Evelyn, Diana, and Fiona walked away. Meanwhile, Bella was stunned by Evelyn’s actions.She didn’t expect Evelyn to visit the villa, or instruct the guards to get rid of her, especially when she is Alex’s wife, and his soon-to-be mother of his children.Just then, the same maid who repeatedly poured a liquid into the glass of water she offered to Alex passed by, with a tray and a glass of water.However, Bella spotted her and her eyes widened in shock.“Gosh, not now!” She muttered to herself, then she stopped the maid immediately. Dismissing the guards, she turned to the

    “Though, you are very lucky. It will be easy to get rid of your allergy since it’s only been a few months,” Bella uttered, and she leaned forward with a smirk playing on her lips, “I know you love Daisy, Iris, and Melissa so much, so do this for them.”Afterward, the smirk on her face was replaced with a fake smile, and she leaned back, “You will do it, right?”With that, Diana’s eyes turned red as tears threatened to stream down. Earlier, she had decided to keep the baby and convince Jeffrey, but now, Bella is threatening her with her family.“Yes, I will do it,” Diana replied.“Alright, I will send a car to pick you up tomorrow. Then, we will get rid of your allergy,” Bella replied tartly, and afterward, she walked out of the restaurant.As soon as Diana watched her leave and her car sped off, Diana reached for her phone and she dialed Alex’s phone number quickly. But unfortunately, Alex could not answer it. He was in a wheelchair, sitting motionless as he stared into space in the

The maid walked in quickly, then she offered a glass of water and the painkillers to Alex.As soon as Alex took the painkillers, and the glass of water, a smirk played on the maid’s lips and she excused herself.***“Mr. Alex, you are alright,” Doctor Ben uttered swiftly, causing Alex to approach him.“Really?” Alex inquired.“Yes, we ran a CT scan and everything is fine,” Doctor Ben replied with a smile on his face, then he paused before muttering, “Sir, did you notice any negative symptoms?”“No, no. Since you said that I’m alright, then, I am,” Alex responded, causing Doctor Ben to bow his head.“I should take my leave then,” Doctor Ben spoke politely, and Alex waved his hand quickly as a sign of dismissal.Afterward, Doctor Ben left the room, while Bella walked in majestically.“So what did he say? You are fine, right?” Bella

    Jeffrey’s voice rang throughout the room, causing Melissa to mutter softly, “Please, Daisy is here.”“Yes, mother-in-law,” Jeffrey replied calmly, while Alex walked out of the house, with Bella trailing behind him hastily.“Get into the car, we are leaving,” Alex uttered tartly.“What?!” Bella exclaimed, “We are here, now... You want us to leave?”“Yes,” Alex replied firmly.Meanwhile, in the dining room, Diana returned and she was a bit surprised to notice Alex and Bella’s absence.“They left,” Jeffrey uttered after he sensed her surprise.“Oh,” Diana replied, before her gaze fell on Melissa who had a worried expression on her face.“Are you alright?“ Melissa inquired with concern tinged in her voice and Diana responded with a nod, “I’m fine.”“Maybe you should consider seeing a doctor... You know, it might be a kind of disease or so,” Iris suggested quickly, causing Melissa to nudge her elbow and stop her from talking.“Sure, I will,” Diana replied, then she turned to her plate.Inw

    “I’m worse? Oh, come on, what can be worse than a mother abandoning her biological daughter?” Bella scoffed, then, when she noticed that Alex tried to stand again, she rushed towards him and she placed his arm around her shoulder.She helped him to his room, and afterward, she returned to the dining room to confront Diana who watched how Bella assisted Alex to his room.“What are you doing here?” Bella inquired, folding her arms quickly.“I came to meet Alex,” Diana responded, then, she moved to the other side to walk away, but Bella blocked her path.“You can’t. He is fast asleep,” Bella hissed.“Then I will wake him... It’s something urgent I need to talk about,” Diana mattered, before walking past Bella hastily.“You have no shame at all...” Bella hissed, making Diana pause in her tracks.“First, you abandoned your daughter at an orphanage home, then you deprived her of the parental love she deserves-”Before she could continue her statement, Diana replied, “Yes, I did! But now, I
