{•MOVING IN•}

Fernando left the hospital in confusion and the others followed him right away, Leah immediately confronted him

 

“don’t you have anything to say, Liam is your son and it’s confirmed already, The evidence is with you!” She half yelled.

 

“How sure am I that this is even authentic,you might have forged it because you are desperate and badly wanna destroy my marriage with Mariana but you won’t succeed” he glared at her.

 

“How sure are you that I forged it?” she asked.

 

“You came here before me and did everything behind my back so yes I’m doubting you,I will do the DNA tests again” he said and her eyes widened a little

 

Leah’s expression turned cold, her eyes narrowing. “You think I’d fake a DNA test? You think I’d lie about something as important as this?”

 

Fernando shrugged, his eyes still filled with skepticism. “I don’t know what you’re capable of, Leah. But I do know you’ve been trying to get my attention for years, and this seems like just another ploy to me.”

 

Leah’s face reddened, her voice rising. “This isn’t about getting your attention, Fernando! This is about our son’s future! Liam deserves to know his father, and I won’t let you deny him that!”

 

Fernando’s eyes narrowed as he glared at Leah. “You’re telling me that one stupid game night, one dare, and one mistake led to this?” He waved the DNA results in the air. “You’re telling me I’m a father because of a twenty-minute makeout session?”

 

Leah’s expression remained firm. “That’s right, Fernando. And I told you about it back then, but you told me to get rid of it. You said you weren’t ready to be a father, that it would ruin your life.”

 

Fernando’s face twisted in anger. “And you didn’t listen, did you? You went ahead and had the baby anyway, without even telling me!”

 

Leah’s voice rose. “I was young and scared, Fernando! I didn’t know what to do! But I did what I thought was right for my child. And now, Liam is here, and he deserves to know his father!”

 

Fernando’s friends watched, uncomfortable, as the confrontation unfolded. They knew Fernando’s past, but they had never seen him like this – angry, hurt, and trapped.

 

“I have nothing to say for now” he said and entered his car

 

“I hope you aren’t lying” Isabella said to her before entering the car with others

 

“Is dad angry with you?” Liam who have been watching all along asked with a concerned look

 

“We will be fine Liam, I promise” she bent down and kissed his forehead

EMERALD COLLEGE, BASKETBALL COURT~

 

Cara walked into the basketball court and her eyes met with Noah immediately who was practising his jump shots,his muscles flexing with each movement

 

“Look who we have here,my handsome ex” she gave a sly chuckle and Noah turned back to look at her

 

“What are you doing here?” He asked in his cold voice

 

“Hey chill, can’t I come here on my own accord? Anyways I came to tell you something” she smiled maliciously

 

“I don’t wanna hear it, Just leave”

 

“Even if it’s about Rosie?” She asked and he looked at her

 

“What about her?”

 

“I knew that will bring your attention, turns out the girl you left me for isn’t that innocent after all” her eyes sparkled with mischief

 

“What do you mean?”his face darkened

 

“Noah wake up! She doesn’t love you, she’s just playing with your hearts,she loves Dean!”

 

“Stop talking nonsense will you? Her love may not be strong for me but I know she loves me so get off”

 

“She kissed Dean yesterday” she dropped the bomb and Noah brows furrowed

 

“Huh?”

 

“Believe it or not but it’s true,they kissed. You can ask her though she might deny or not be able to look in the eye and incase you are wondering how I found out,I heard her talking about this to Mariana earlier, she’s only dating you to get over her crush on Dean,bye” she said walked out with a triumphant smile leaving Noah reeling

 

DONOVAN’S MANSION,DARK ROOM

 

Donovan slipped into the dark room, his eyes adjusting to the blackness. He flicked the switch, and the sudden brightness illuminated the space. Before him, two figures slumped in chairs, bound by chains. Daniel and Dave,limp and unconscious.

 

Donovan’s gaze narrowed as he approached them. He grasped a horse whip from the corner, its leather cracking ominously in the silence. With a swift motion, he lashed the whip across their bodies, the sound echoing through the room.

 

Daniel and Dave jolted awake, their eyes wide with terror as they took in their surroundings. Pain etched their faces, and they struggled against the chains, but they were secure.

 

“What…where are we?” Daniel stammered, his voice shaking.

 

Donovan’s expression remained cold, his eyes glinting with a sinister intensity. “You’re in my home, gentlemen. And you’ll be staying here…for a while.”

 

Dave’s eyes finally set on Donovan and his eyes widened. “What do you want, Donovan?”

 

The whip cracked again, and they winced in unison. “You’ll find out soon enough. But first, let’s have a little…chat.”

 

Donovan’s smile sent chills down their spines as he began to pace around them, the whip cracking ominously in the silence

 

His sister’s memory flooded his mind – her innocent smile, her laughter, her tears.

 

“You two monsters,” he growled, his voice low and menacing. “You took everything from me. My sister, my family’s happiness…her life.”

 

Daniel and Dave stirred, their eyes wide with fear as they took in their surroundings.

 

“You remember, don’t you?” Donovan’s voice cracked with emotion. “You remember what you did in high school. You raped my sister, left her pregnant and alone. And when she tried to escape the pain, she didn’t survive.”

 

The whip cracked in Donovan’s hand, the sound echoing through the room.

 

“You took her life, her future. And now, you’ll pay the price.”

 

Daniel and Dave trembled, their pleas for mercy falling on deaf ears. Donovan’s rage and grief had been simmering for years, and now, it was time for revenge.

HIDDENVILLE COLLEGE~

 

Blondie stepped out of the lecture hall, her bright blonde hair shining in the sunlight. She was with her two friends, Rachel and Maddie, all three of them chatting and laughing as they made their way down the steps.

 

“Well, that’s finally over,” Blondie said, relieved, tossing her bag over her shoulder. “I’m so done with today’s lectures.”

 

Rachel nodded in agreement. “Tell me about it. I’m exhausted. Let’s grab some coffee and head to the library. We have a ton of work to do for our project.”

 

Maddie checked her watch. “And we need to meet up with the guys later for our group study session. We can’t afford to fall behind.”

 

Blondie rolled her eyes good-naturedly. “Yeah, yeah, I know. Let’s just get the coffee first. Priorities, people!”

 

The three friends linked arms, strolling across the campus, enjoying the warm sun on their faces and the freedom of being done with their lectures for the day.

Blondie said her goodbyes to Rachel and Maddie, promising to meet up with them later at the library. She headed down the path, her feet carrying her towards the college gates, when she heard a familiar voice calling out to her.

 

“Hey, Blondie! Need a ride home?”

 

Blondie turned to see Matt pulling up in his car, the same one that had dropped her off at college that morning. She couldn’t help but smile, feeling a flutter in her chest at the sight of him.

 

“Matt! You’re a lifesaver,” she said, walking over to the car. “I was just about to call an Uber.”

 

Matt grinned, leaning over to open the passenger door. “No need for that. I’m happy to give you a ride. Again.”

 

Blondie laughed, slipping into the car. “Yeah, I guess this is becoming a habit.”

 

Matt chuckled, starting the engine. “I don’t mind. It’s always great to see you, Blondie.”

 

As they pulled out of the college parking lot, Blondie felt a sense of comfort and familiarity with Matt, despite having only met him twice. There was something about his easygoing nature and warm smile that put her at ease.

 

Matt finally got her home, turning off the engine. “We’re here,” he said, smiling at Blondie.

 

Blondie gathered her things, thanking Matt again for the ride. “I really appreciate it, Matt. You’re a lifesaver.”

 

Matt waved it off. “No problem, happy to help. See you around, Blondie.”

 

Blondie stepped out of the car, closing the door behind her. As she turned to head up the walkway, she noticed a figure standing in the doorway, frowning at her.

 

Logan crossed his arms, his expression disapproving. “Where have you been?” he asked, his tone gruff.

 

Blondie rolled her eyes, feeling a familiar sense of frustration. “I was at college, Logan. I don’t need to check in with you.”

 

Logan’s frown deepened. “You’re home late. And who was that guy?”

 

Blondie sighed, feeling a sense of annoyance. “Just a friend, Logan. Don’t worry about it.”

 

Logan’s eyes narrowed, but he didn’t press the issue, turning back into the house instead. Blondie watched him go and she sighed

NIGHT,FERNARDO’S MANSION~

 

Fernando’s car pulled into the driveway, the headlights illuminating the grand entrance of his mansion. He stepped out, his usually composed face now etched with worry and distress. His eyes seemed to hold a thousand weights, his shoulders slumped under the burden of his thoughts.

 

Mariana,waited at the door, a warm smile on her face. She opened her arms, and Fernando walked into her embrace, returning her longing kiss. For a moment, they stood there, lost in each other’s love, the world outside fading away.

 

As they pulled back, Mariana’s eyes searched his face. “What’s wrong?You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

 

Fernando took a deep breath, his voice barely above a whisper. “The DNA results came out positive.”

 

Mariana’s expression froze, her eyes wide with shock. “What do you mean?”

 

Just then, someone came in and Leah walked in, Liam by her side, her arms loaded with suitcases and bags.

 

“Hello, Mariana,” Leah said greeted. “I see Fernando told you the news already. I’m so glad we can finally be a family…together.”

 

Mariana’s eyes narrowed, her face twisted in rage. “You…you have no right to be here!”

 

Leah smiled, her eyes gleaming with triumph. “Oh, but I do. I have every right. Liam deserves to know his father more and bond more with him”

 

“Leah you don’t have any right to be here,leave already” Fernando ordered

 

“This is I and my husband’s home so you aren’t welcomed” Mariana said

 

Leah’s eyes sparkled with amusement. “Ah, but it’s also Liam’s home now. And as his mother, I have a right to be here. Don’t worry, Mariana. I promise to be a considerate housemate…for now.” She smiled mischievously
