After a long week, Katherine received a message from Darius Richards. He would be waiting for her at Ana & Juana – Onas at 6:00 PM, a public venue designed to ease any fears she might have about meeting him. Though Darius didn’t fully understand her apprehensions, he knew this would be his first time seeing Alden as an adult. The last time he had seen him, Alden was a small child with dark, wavy brown hair and charming gray eyes.

As promised, Darius arrived five minutes early. He ordered a coffee, and just as it was served, he saw a striking redhead walk through the door. She was no longer the young woman he remembered, but she was still stunning. Beside her stood a tall, handsome young man. From afar, Darius felt a pang in his chest–the young man was the spitting image of his former boss. The only difference was Alden’s porcelain complexion and striking gray eyes.

“Darius Richards!” the man greeted, standing up and waving at the woman in front of him.

“Hello, Darius! This is my son, Alden,” Katherine said, gesturing toward her handsome son.

“Nice to meet you, Alden! I know you don’t remember mewe met when you were just a child. Now look at you, a young man. You’re the very image of your father,” Darius said with a warm smile.

“Thank you, sir. That’s what my mother always says,” Alden replied politely.

“Darius, about what I mentioned on the phone–is it possible?” Katherine asked nervously.

“Katherine, I told you years ago: there’s no reason for you and your son to live with so little when Peter had enough to care for you both. Leonardo, his father, absorbed several of his properties and manages a portion of the company’s shares, but that wasn’t Peter’s only income.” Darius reached into his briefcase, pulling out several documents.

“I don’t want Peter’s family disrupting our peace. You know he didn’t get along with his older brother. Can you imagine the chaos if they find out the eldest son isn’t his?” Katherine said anxiously.

“Relax, Katherine. They don’t need to know about your son’s existence. What I’m handing over comes from a business Peter kept off the books. Did you know he was a broker?” Darius asked.

“No, I didn’t!”
