"That's my wedding invitation," Fiona announced, her voice trembling, her eyes brimming with tears. "I'm getting married to Michael in two weeks, and I'm already showing.

You guys are starting to do this without involving me?" he exclaimed, his voice rising in anger.He opened the card, his hands shaking with rage, and then dropped it on the table, as if it were a hot coal. "I can't believe this," he muttered, his mind racing with thoughts of betrayal and hurt.Fiona turned to leave, her eyes cast down, her shoulders slumped in defeat.

The Unexpected Heir Stop the wedding

"What? You know I can fire you. I told you to spend a week with your wife. Did you want her to divorce you? Did you want to start living as a single dad? You are just a bit older than me, and you think of nothing other than being a single dad," Charlie's words cut through the tension, revealing his own frustrations and concerns as the situation spiraled further out of control.Leo's voice quivered with emotion as he confronted Charlie, laying bare his feelings of exclusion and hurt.

The Unexpected Heir Stop this
Charlie's expression turned serious, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I need you to handle this discreetly, Leo. It's a sensitive matter, and I don't want any rumors spreading through the office."Leo nodded understandingly. "Of course, Charlie.

The Unexpected Heir What's going on here
Michael's hand reached out, attempting to make a conciliatory gesture, but Charlie was too quick. He punched Michael's hand away, making him sit back in his chair with a thud. "You are beginning to go beyond your boundaries. You are pretending, despite no one being here," Charlie sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. He chuckled sarcastically, his eyes glinting with anger.Michael, rubbing his face, trying to calm down, stood up and leaned in close to Charlie's ear. "Maybe I would have shown my true colors if you hadn't tried recording, don't you think," he whispered, his voice low and menacing.

"Why can't I get married again?" Alice's mother shouted, her voice echoing through the hospital room. "You're old enough to take care of yourself. You were once married, and now you're pregnant. You aren't a child anymore, Alice!"Charlie's face darkened, his eyes blazing with anger as he held Alice close, trying to shield her from her mother's hurtful words. "That's enough," he growled, his voice low and menacing. "You've done enough damage. Just Leave her alone."The tension in the room was palpable, the air thick with emotions. "I wouldn't leave her alone. She's not a child anymore. I had to get closer to my daughter too. I have nurtured her for years, ev
