Review: In the Sabbides Secret Baby we are introduced to a part-time hotel receptionist Phoebe and Greek multimillionaire Jed who were lovers until she becomes pregnant after falling in love with Jed, but he turns her away as a mistress and demands she gets an abortion. Phoebe tries to run away but ends up having a miscarriage and disappears from Jed’s life but five years later he has returned.
Phoebe tries to keep her distance from Jed, but he uses his connections to find out about her and discovers her son; Ben who is his son. Ben is a miracle baby as it turns out Ben was a twin and the miscarriage Phoebe had was only the loss of one baby, not two. Jed slowly introduces himself into Ben’s life and Phoebe feels conflicted as she hates Jed for what he did to her but that was a misunderstanding, but she also feels Jed is pushing her out of Ben’s life, however, she also holds some romantic feelings towards Jed despite all that happened.
After Jed’s father has a heart attack he begs Phoebe to bring herself and Ben to Greece so they can meet, and she agrees, however, she is still skeptical of Jed, but his father reveals what really happened after he left her after the miscarriage and Phoebe begins to change her attitude even agreeing to a civil marriage.
On their wedding night Phoebe can’t sleep and explored the room and when Jed awakes to find her missing he fears the worst but he eventually confesses his feelings towards her and she agrees to be his wife for real and so they can be parents to Ben. The epilogue a year later we see how far the family has come from when Jed re-entered her life even adding another set of twins to the equation.
