Shadows Of A Forgotten Spring Novel

Kevin stepped into Alexanders office with a measured stride , his expression somber as he shut the door behind him .

He bowed slightly , clearing his throat before speaking .

The man you asked me to look into , Kevin began , hes not just some random guy .

Alexander , who had been leaning back in his chair , instantly sat upright .

His brow furrowed in suspicion as he motioned for Kevin to continue .

Hes one of the Fernando brothers , Kevin said , his voice even but with an undercurrent of importance .

Alexander stared back at him for a moment , his face incredulous .

You cant be serious , he said with sudden sharpness .

Theres no way hes a Fernando , and I didnt recognize him .

Kevin nodded solemnly .

Hes been out of the country for several years .

He came back into the country just days after Mrs.

Black returned .

Alexanders jaw clenched , his mind racing .

If he is one of the Fernandos , then Emmas relationship to Jaden doesnt make a lick of sense , he muttered , mostly to himself .

His thoughts spiraled back to that crazy morning at the flower shop where some man had claimed to be Entrnas fiance , making such a scene .

It didnt add up whatsoever .

How could Emma , who had lived a poor life for the past five years , suddenly be attached to someone as influential as Fernandos ? sthe Theres more to this , Alexander said in a very low but firm tone of voice .

He stared in the general direction of Kevin , all stern and hard .

I want you to dig deeper , search for that man who came to the flower shop five years ago .

Figure out who he is , where he is , and most importantly , why he is to Emma .

Kevin nodded .

Ill get onto that right away , sir he said and abruptly made his way out the door .

With a soft click , the door swung shut .

Alexander rose from his chair and paced the length of the room .

His mind raged with questions , one following on the heels of the other in rapid succession .

Alexander knew the Fernando family inside out , though never personally , due to the name being synonymous with power and influence .

And yet , if Emma truly were linked .

to them , he found it strange that they had not utter one word about her twins .

She was hiding something , something monumental , and Alexander could feel its weight upon him .

His.chest tightened with frustration .

First , Emmas return to the country had shaken him now , with this new revelation , it seemed the very earth he stood on had started crumbling .

Alexanders fists were clenching , his resolution hardening .

He did not know what Emma was hiding , but it was only a matter of time before he found out .

AAAAA After spending a week at that the hospital , the day Emma longed for finally arrived it was time to go home .

Stepping outside the doors with Ethan , Emily , and Jaden , the freshness of the air outside had taken a welcome turn .

It was goodbyes great feeling , and fond wishes from all the families and other patients they had met while in the hospital , assuring them that they would stay in touch .

Ethan was still a bit pale , but he was grinning as Emily inued to entertain him with her funny faces and playful chatter in the back of the car .

Their giggles filled the vehicle , and Emma couldnt help but glance in the rearview mirror , her heart swelling with relief and gratitude .

After all theyd been through .

Her sons smile seemed like a miracle As the car cruised along , Emma busied herself with her phone , her tingers scrolling through endless comments and posts about Aurora Honors .

Since she had teased her upcoming reveals the CEO of W2 HOLDINGS , the internet had exploded with anticipation .

The Strong Woman Challenge was still trending a viral movement she never expected to spark .

Now , a new wave of excitement had taken over : the Countdown Challenge .

1/2 21.17 Tue , Dec 17 Chapter 71 Speculations were going around , and netizens were posting their theories , fan art , and montages of what the CEO of W2 HOLDINGS would look like .

Emma let out a heavy sigh ; her nerves were starting to fray .

What if they were disappointed when they finally learned that it was her a single mom with a messed up past ? She had multiplied W2 HOLDINGS within her four years as the CEO to represent strength and resilience , but would the world see her that way once the truth finally came out ? As the car pulled into her driveway .

Emmas thoughts were interrupted by an unexpected sight the house was decked out with cheerful balloons , a large banner strung across the front porch that read Welcome Home , Ethan ! She turned to Jaden , her brows raised in surprise , but he just grinned sheepishly .

You didnt have to do this , she said softly , her voice thick with emotion .

I wanted to .

Jaden replied .

Ethan deserves to come home to something special .

You all do .

Emmas heart clenched as she looked at him quiet support , unwavering presence , and the way he cared for her children like they were his own all beyond anything she could find the words to say .

When Emily and Ethan saw the decorations , their excitement erupted .

Emily squealed with delight , tugging at Ethans arm as they ran toward the porch .

Even Ethan , still recovering , found the energy to join in her laughter .

Emma stood for a moment , frozen in taking it all in .

She had thought she might never see a day like this again , especially after the daycare collapsed and everything felt like it was falling apart .

Tears pricked at her eyes , but this time , they were tears of joy .
