Lucien's hands were shaking slightly as she held her phone, hesitating to dial Ace's number. She had always known that she wanted to be a mother one day, but she had never thought that it would happen so soon.
And now, as she sat with the pregnancy test results in her hand, she couldn't help but wonder how Ace would react to the news. Would he be happy and excited, or would he feel trapped and unsure?
Lucien took a deep breath and tried to calm her nerves. She knew that Ace loved her, and she trusted him to do the right thing. But she couldn't shake off the feeling of uncertainty that had settled in her stomach.
What if Ace wasn't ready to be a father? What if he felt like she was trapping him into something he didn't want? The thoughts swirled in her head, making her feel anxious and unsure.
Lucien closed her eyes and took another deep breath. She knew that she had to tell Ace the truth, no matter how scared she was. She slowly dialed his number, her heart pounding in her chest as she waited for him to answer.
Lucien was still waiting for Ace to return from Mexico, and she hadn't sent him a message about the pregnancy yet. She had decided to wait until he got back to tell him the news in person.
As she sat at home, Lucien couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. She was excited about the pregnancy, but she was also nervous about how Ace would react.
She tried to distract herself by watching TV and doing some chores, but her mind kept wandering back to Ace and the baby.
When would he get back? How would he react to the news? Lucien couldn't wait to find out.
Ace and Ken were still trying to gather more evidence from Wilson, but they had already obtained some damning proof from the hidden camera. The footage showed Wilson's sinister plan to get close to Lucien and ultimately kill her.
"We need to get more concrete evidence," Ace said, his eyes fixed on the footage. "Something that will tie Wilson directly to the crime."
Ken nodded in agreement. "I've been going over the security footage, and I think I found something. Wilson was seen arguing with Fiona at the coffee shop a few days ago. I think we should bring her in for questioning."
Ace's eyes narrowed. "Fiona? I thought she was just a pawn in Wilson's game."
Ken shook his head. "I'm not so sure anymore. I think she might be more involved than we initially thought. And if we can get her to talk, we might just get the proof we need to take down Wilson once and for all."
Ace's eyes locked onto Ken's. "A date with Fiona?" he repeated, his voice low and even.
Ken nodded. "Yes, I think it's the perfect opportunity to get closer to her and see if we can get her to spill any information about Wilson's plans."
Ace's jaw clenched. "I don't know, Ken. I don't like using manipulation to get what we want."
Ken's expression was serious. "I know it's not ideal, but we need to think about Lucien's safety here. If Fiona is involved with Wilson, we need to know what she knows."
Ace took a deep breath, weighing his options. Finally, he nodded. "Okay, set it up. But I'm going to make it clear to Fiona that this is just a casual dinner, nothing more."
Ken nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. "I'll make the arrangements. Just be careful, Ace. We don't know what we're dealing with here."
Fiona's eyes widened as she read the message on her phone. "Get ready for a date with Ace?" she thought to herself. She had never met Ace before, but she had heard of him. He was a wealthy and influential man, and she couldn't believe that he would be interested in going on a date with her.
Despite her initial surprise, Fiona's excitement quickly took over. She had always been drawn to powerful and confident men, and Ace seemed to fit the bill perfectly.
She quickly got to work, showering and dressing in her best outfit. She did her hair and makeup, making sure to look her absolute best.
As she finished getting ready, Fiona's nerves began to kick in. What would Ace be like in person? Would they have anything in common? She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.
Just as she was starting to feel more relaxed, there was a knock at the door. Fiona's heart skipped a beat as she realized that Ace had arrived.
