“Shh, pipe down, auntie,” said Alana as she hastily covered Alondra’s mouth with her hand.
“What’s so surprising about that?” replied Alondra. She pushed Alana’s hand away and continued, “The child you bore for the Ryker Family is already 4 years old after all. If Abel finds out that you are still a virgin during your wedding night, then we might be in serious trouble!”
“Nah, I haven’t been one in a long while,” replied Alana, visibly more relaxed. She no longer felt like she needed to pretend anymore. She continued, “I wouldn’t dare take advantage of Cristopher without compensating him fairly.”
“Then hurry up and give him a call,” urged Alondra. “Just sleep with him again if you have to. You can figure out how to get rid of him once you become a mistress of the Ryker Family.
Emmeline woke up the next day and started scrolling happily through the messages from her sons.
Sun wrote, “Abel has another son, mommy!”
Moon wrote, “His name is Timothy and he’s the same age as us!”
Star wrote, “I heart that Alana is his mommy!”
Emmeline responded with a surprised emoji.
Abel had a child with Alana?
Then why did Emmeline bother with chasing after that bastard?
She could just easily move on with her life and forget about him! Emmeline did not need or want Abel to own up to what he did to her all those years ago, but she wanted to know if the children she bore were indeed his!
If he was the biological father, she wanted his blood to save her child.
Emmeline finally got out of bed. She planned to run a DNA test on the hair strand she got from Abel and compared it to her son’s.
She easily acquired a strand of hair from her son’s bed.
But what of the strand of hair from Abel?
Oh crap, Emmeline wrapped the strand of hair in a piece of tissue paper and stuffed it in her pocket after she grabbed it from Abel!
However, she had inadvertently washed her jeans last night!
Ahhh!
Emmeline hurried up to the balcony to find the pockets of her jeans empty.
Damn it! Why was I so careless?
She went through a lot to get that strand of hair off of Abel’s head and now she had to do it again! Emmeline was not about to give up, she was determined to get another strand no matter what it took!
Picking up her phone, Emmeline made a call and said, “Find out where Abel is right now.”
After a short while, the phone rang. “He just arrived at the Ryker Group building and is currently in a meeting.”
“Got it,” replied Emmeline. Just as she was about to hang up, the voice at the other end said, “Don’t forget your promise, boss. You said you’ll stage your appearance today.”
“I’ll see how things go,” replied Emmeline as she hung up impatiently. She then hailed a cab.
After 40 minutes, Emmeline arrived at the entrance of the 89-floor building belonging to the Ryker Group.

Abel was sitting in the CEO’s office after his meeting when the secretary walked in and announced, “Ms. Alana is here with some homemade refreshments.”
Abel replied in a deep voice, “Let her in.”
Just as he finished speaking, Alana pushed open the door and entered with a box of desserts in her hand.
“Abel”
The secretary hurriedly left and closed the door behind her.
Being Abel’s fiancée, Alana was going to be one of the future bosses of the Ryker Group, so everyone was trying their best to curry favor with her.
With a scowl, Abel remarked, “Don’t get too cozy with me, I don’t even know you that well.”
“…” Alana was silent with an uncomfortable look on her face, before breaking into a smile and raising the box in her hands. She said, “Try it, I made these myself.”
“I did not let you in for the desserts,” said Abel with a glare. He continued, “Who gave you the authority to use the Ryker Family name to remove those three children from their kindergarten?”
Alana let out a gasp of surprise.
Had Abel found out what she did?
Of course, he had, Those three brats were in Ryker Mansion, it was plain for all to see when they did not go to school in the morning.
“Abe….Oh, I mean, Mr. Abel,” said Alana. “They offended Madame Ryker, so I figured I should stand up for the Ryker Family.”
