“Thanks for all your hard work today. Take tomorrow off. We’ll meet again the day after to discuss the next event.” Biana passed along Estelle and Amora’s message to her coworkers.“How about we blow off some steam at Avenue tonight? They’ve got a promo going on,” One of her colleagues suggested, already eager for some nightlife.Biana shook her head. “No. You guys go ahead. I’m hitting the spa tomorrow. Tonight’s already too late—I just want to sleep.”“Alright then. See you in two days,” Her coworker replied.Biana nodded, waved goodbye, and split off from the group.“Finally, it’s over,” She murmured, stretching her arms high above her head. She drew in a deep breath of the cool night air, trying to shake off the ache weighing down her body, especially her legs.She had been on her feet nonstop, pacing back and forth to oversee preparations from start to finish. Exhaustion clung to her, but not once had she complained. Estelle and Amora trusted her, and she was determined not to le

“Don’t you love me anymore? Have you really moved on?” Mark pressed, not giving Biana the slightest chance to refuse him.“I .…”Biana bit down hard on her lower lip and slowly dropped her gaze to avoid his eyes.For the past seven months, she had tried her best to forget Mark. But every time they bumped into each other, a small part of her always regretted ending things.The truth was, she still questioned her decision. At the same time, Biana couldn’t get over her frustration—because when she had broken up with him, Mark hadn’t made the slightest effort to fight for them.Biana had thought Mark didn’t care. But now, hearing his confession, she couldn’t deny that her heart fluttered.Still, her pride was too high to admit it. Biana wanted him to feel even a fraction of the disappointment she’d once felt.“Bia, please … give me one more chance,” Mark begged, his hand gripping hers so tightly that she could feel the anxiety in him.“A chance?” Biana echoed, staring blankly at his face.

“Which one do you think looks better? This one, or this one?”Amora held up two sets of baby clothes for Alicia to see. They were in a department store browsing through baby clothes and supplies.With a sulky look, Alicia pointed toward Amora’s left hand, giving her opinion without much interest. Amora chuckled softly at her annoyance.“What’s wrong? Don’t you enjoy shopping with me here?” Amora teased.“Shouldn’t you already know the answer to that? Do you really need to ask?” Alicia grumbled, pushing the shopping cart now overflowing with her sister-in-law’s picks.Amora hid her smile and continued down the baby aisle, Seth and Pedro following a few steps behind them.“I heard you haven’t decided on your major yet for college. Is that true?” Amora asked, noticing the hesitation on Alicia’s face.“Are you feeling stuck? You can talk to me if you want,” Amora offered gently.Alicia hesitated before admitting, “Actually … I want to start my own business.”Amora’s eyes widened in surpri

“The only option is an emergency C-section. If we don’t operate immediately, we could lose them both.”The doctor’s words sent Regis’s heart spiraling. He glanced at his wife, still crying out in pain with each contraction. Exhaling heavily, he finally nodded.“Please, Doctor. Do everything you can to save them both.”“I assure you, we’ll do our very best for the mother and the baby,” The doctor replied.“Can I be there with her during the surgery? I promised my wife I’d stay by her side until the baby was born,” Regis pleaded.The doctor shook his head. “I’m sorry, Mr. Lorenzo. The operating room must remain sterile. We can’t allow family members inside. It could interfere with the procedure.”“I won’t get in the way. I’ll just sit beside her. I only want to keep her calm,” Regis insisted, his tone firm yet desperate.Moved by his sincerity, the doctor exchanged a quick look with his team, then nodded. “All right, Mr. Lorenzo. But first, you’ll need to sign the consent forms and chan

“My strong little man. How was your day?” Regis asked, leaning over the crib to look at his son.The moment Ryuji heard Regis’s voice, his whining stopped, replaced by that infectious baby giggle only chubby-cheeked little ones could make.“Were you giving your mom a hard time again today, huh?” Regis teased, gently pinching his son’s cheek.Instead of answering with another laugh, Ryuji grabbed Regis’s finger and held on tightly. The soft baby scent calmed Regis instantly, filling his heart with peace. He leaned in to kiss Ryuji’s cheek again, but froze when he heard footsteps behind him.“What are you doing? Did you wake him up?” Amora scolded as she walked out of the bathroom.Regis carefully slipped his hand out of his son’s grip and crossed the room toward his wife.“No, he woke up on his own,” Regis replied, leaning down to steal a kiss from her lips.“Really?” Amora narrowed her eyes at him.“What’s wrong? Didn’t you get a nap this afternoon?” Regis asked, noticing the exhausti
