    I am so d you both came. I will be in prison for the rest of my life. For years, I didn''t know that I have


    a son. Cherry was drunk one night and got provoked by my partner Elise when she angrily shouted that


    I had a son with her. I was so surprised. I know that her son is with you so I assumed that Aaron is my


    son and lo and behold, it''s true. I asked my mother to go to the childcare facility to check on the boy.


    She told me that, at first nce, she knew that he is her grandson. I cried because I don''t deserve to


    have one but I have one now and it is being taken care of by a good man. Cherry is my mule, drug


    handler, and lover. When she got pregnant, she told me that its Mr. Ari''s because she needs protection


    from me, she needs stability in life that Mr. Ari has. Much to her disappointment, after she gave birth


    Mr. Ari did not marry her. She went back to me but I have a new lover, her name is Elise. I am a drug


    trafficker but I am a one-woman man. I don''t intend to bring an innocent child into this world. I can''t


    me Cherry for her decision to have you, Mr. Ari as the father of our son. But she was sorry for the


    pain and hurt that she brought to Ms. Hannah and you, Mr. Ari, she told me that, it''s the best for the kid.


    I don''t have any idea that the kid is mine, believe me. As you see, my life was a mess and I think so


    was Cherry. She disappeared when she saw me in the surveince camera at Aaron''s daycare facility. I


    know that Aaron is in good hands. I can even die today but the police will not let me. I have to pay for


    my crimes. Thank you for taking care of that little guy. I owed you both a lot. [stammering] I shot Elise


    because she shot Aaron. I had my guys buried her somewhere. I am a hardened criminal and will


    remain to be that way, it''s toote for me to change even for the sake of my son. He doesn''t deserve to


    have a father like me. He deserves you Mr. Ari and you Ms. Hannah. Thank you for taking care of my


    son.


    Both Ari and Hannah were stunned with the confession of Mr. San Diego.


    It was Hannah who regain herposure. I have one question for you Mr. San Diego, Hannah asks.


    Do you want your son to know your existence?


    Please don''t tell him, Ms. Hannah, it is better for him to know that Mr. Ari is his father and you, his step


    Mom. He will have a better future not knowing his biological parents. [he paused and wipe his tears


    from both eyes].


    I am so tired, I am going to rest now. I don''t believe in God because I thought God forgot about my


    existence but I am saying this to both of you...God Bless you both and Thank you!


    They left Mr. San Diego''s room unable to think properly. They are stunned, overwhelmed, and shocked.


    They walk slowly to Hannah''s room in dazed, hands intertwined. Ari and Hannah share a connection


    and have deeper feelings for each other. Ari''s devotion to Hannah is unquestionable. He always told


    Hannah when she was in Saskat that "I will hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms."


    Ari''s POV


    You''re the missing piece in my heart and in my life Hannah. We can start all over again as a family with


    Aaron.


    This is the calm after the storm.
