My belly was just starting to show. One bad day, while I was at the beautiful beaches of Mar del Plata, I ran into someone I never would've expected." "Who?" "Darius Richards..." "Who's that?"

He was skeptical at first, but he toldthis wasn't something I could keep hidden." "So, Peter found out about his son...?" "No! We never got the chance to tell him. I forbade Darius from saying anything. If I'd known Peter would die three years later, believe me, I would've shown up at his door with my son myself." "So then?"

"Not everything, but he's toldhe's gone to see her at the university. He just watches her from afar. Even if he doesn't say it, I know he wants to approach her. My son is as charming V as his father, but in public, he gives off the impression of being cold and ruthless. You know how protective he is of me-he doesn't want anyone to hurt me.
