“Girlfriend?!” Jessica let out a loud laugh, darting her eyes between them, “she looks like a beggar you picked off of the street!” She spat her voice dripping with disdain. “It’s pretty obvious, it’s her first time here.” She concluded.Aaron’s expression darkened, his icy glare hooked on Jessica. Without thinking, he stepped forward, putting himself between her and Raina. His voice was calm, but had a dangerous edge to it.“Watch your filthy mouth, Jessica.” He growled. “The only “street beggar” in this room right now….is you.”Jessica’s face flushed at the weight of the insult, but before she could retort, the clicking sound of heels echoed through the hall. Aaron stiffened, annoyance boiling over as he turned to see his mother, Margaret Kingston, walking towards them from a bedroom. Margaret Kingston was dressed in a tailored suit and pearls, her usual straight, unimpressed demeanor accentuating a presence that was both commanding and intimidating.“Mother,” Aaron said, his tone

“Tch! Who does she think she is, acting all high and mighty with nothing.” Aaron mumbled as his driver navigated through the city. He had expected Raina Weston to be a desperate, gold-digging woman. Someone he could dismiss without a second thought. But he wasn’t.Instead, she had fire, like a new found independence that refused to be quenched, no matter how cold his words had been. He leaned back in the leather seat, his fingers gently tapping on the armrest. His gaze drifted out of the window, but his thoughts were stuck on her. Every single thing about her seemed... intriguing. Without thinking, a small smile spread across his lips. And then, the wallet. He clenched his jaw at the thought, annoyed at himself. He had deliberately left it behind as an excuse to see her again. A move so out of character that it made him feel foolish. Maybe he had been too harsh on her, he thought briefly. The way she stood her ground lingered in his mind longer than it should have. But it didn’t

“...I-I just don’t understand how any of these is possible.” Raina began, her mind reeling from what the doctor had just told her.“I totally agree with you, ma’am. We’ve been doing our best to find out how it all came down to this.” The doctor said, her tone neutral. Raina scoffed, leaning forward in her chair, disbelief etched on her face. “A renowned fertility clinic, and you’re telling me there was a mix-up?” She said, her voice laced with skepticism. “That doesn’t make any sense!” She snapped. “And Kai’s sample? Where is it then?” her eyes narrowed as she tried to piece the puzzle.The doctor avoided her gaze , her eyes avoiding Raina’s. “We…We really don’t know, ma’am.” She admitted quietly, her voice barely audible.Raina gritted her teeth, anger swirling in her chest. Before she had the chance to protest further, the doctor slid a small business card across the desk toward her. “The man in question has asked to meet you.” She said calmly.Raina glanced at the card, then scof

Raina’s fingers hovered around the elevator button for a moment before she pressed it. Stepping in, she squared her shoulders and took in a deep breath. “You’re in charge, Raina Weston.” She reminded herself. “You’ve worked too hard to let this break you.”The elevator doors slid open, revealing the open workspace of her fashion house, RainWoven. The familiar hum of sewing machines and soft chatter greeted her, but as she stepped out, something felt off.Plastering a smile on her face, she greeted her staff with her usual cheerful smile. “Good morning, everyone!” But the room’s response was muted.The staff exchanged glances. A few whispered to each other, while other avoided her gaze entirely. The pity in their expression hit her like a physical blow. “They know.” Her smile faltered as the words rang in her head. Quickly, she regained composure, smiling once again as she walked towards her office. “We’ve got a busy day ahead, let’s keep things moving.”The whispers grew quiet, but d

Raina paced around her room, rehearsing the life-changing news. “You're going to be a father, Kai...No, too cliché.” She scrunched up her face. “I'm three weeks pregnant, Kai... Ugh, too blunt.”She murmured to herself, searching for the perfect words.A week had passed since Kai returned from his business trip, but he had been avoiding their home. Today, she planned to confront him at his condo, determined to share the surprise that would change everything.Three years of marriage had somehow turned them into strangers. With a deep breath, Raina grabbed her bag and headed out, only to be stopped in her tracks by her assistant, Jamie, who was waiting in the hallway.“Good morning, Mrs. Ashborne.” Jamie greeted with a bright smile on her face.Raina's eyebrows furrowed in surprise. “Jamie, didn't you request a week's leave?” she questioned.Jamie shrugged, her expression nonchalant. “I just wanted to check in, make sure everything's okay. Where are you headed today?”Raina hesitated bef
