The scene unfolded with an eerie sense of fate. The club had been buzzing with life, its vibrant lights casting a haze over the night. Adrian, not realizing the trap set for him, had been drugged by his rivals. His drink, a well-placed concoction of sedatives, had slowly worked its magic. As he leaned against the bar, feeling the world spin, a woman approached him—one he had seen at the club before, a familiar face in the crowd. She was beautiful, too beautiful to ignore, with dark eyes filled with something more than admiration.She had always fantasized about Adrian, watching him from afar, and tonight, she saw an opening. She’d been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and she was determined to make the most of it. Adrian, his thoughts clouded, didn’t realize what was happening until it was too late. He was led away by her, stumbling slightly, too out of it to question where he was going.Meanwhile, Rita was in another part of the club, blissfully unaware of the storm that

The Flashback—Dressed for BetrayalRita twirled once in front of the mirror, her reflection smiling back at her for the first time in what felt like forever. Her soft wine-red dress hugged her figure just right, and the light touch of makeup made her brown eyes shimmer. Her heart fluttered with anticipation—James had invited her out, willingly. No fights, no scowls, no guilt-tripping.Just… fun.He had said, “Let’s go out, just you and me. Like old times.”Rita had stared at him in disbelief before breaking into a radiant smile. That Friday evening, she hummed a forgotten love song while getting ready, the house momentarily glowing with hope.When James stepped out of the bedroom and saw her, even he paused.“Wow… You look good,” he mumbled.“Thanks,” she blushed softly, clutching her purse. “You ready?”He nodded, checking his phone quickly before they stepped out.The club was already buzzing when they arrived. Lights flickered, music throbbed, and people danced like they had nothin

When the Walls Came Crashing DownBack in the city James once paraded like a king, the luxurious mansion that used to host lavish parties, expensive guests, and ego-driven extravagance was no longer the envy of the neighborhood. The once-manicured lawns were overgrown, the driveway empty of its luxury cars—sold off, piece by piece, to appease the vultures that circled closer each day.It had been quiet—too quiet—for a while now. James had been laying low, hiding from reality, from his creditors, from the failure that he never thought would come. He had built his life on borrowed glory, funded by loans he took without blinking, believing that marrying Rita would automatically launch him into a world of unimaginable wealth. But now, she was gone—and so was the fantasy.And reality had finally knocked.Hard.The loud, aggressive bang on the metallic gate early that morning didn’t just jolt James out of bed—it yanked him straight into the nightmare he’d tried so hard to escape.BANG! BANG

Coincidences or FateAdrian stood motionless for a while after Mark relayed the final piece of information.“She went for a prenatal checkup, sir. She’s three months along.”“Three?” Adrian echoed, his voice low.“Yes, sir. It seems she’s been consistent with her visits. Goodcure Hospital. Quiet. Discreet.”Adrian turned to the tall glass window of his study, his reflection barely visible against the night sky. His thoughts spun fast.Three months pregnant. That meant… she had only just started to show.That night at the restaurant, her glow hadn’t just been charm—it was the light of life within her.“A child…” he murmured.For a man who had carefully mapped every part of his life—his studies, his career, his social avoidance—nothing could have prepared him for how this knowledge landed.He had finally met a woman who intrigued him. A woman whose spirit he admired, whose silence carried resilience, and whose smile hinted at stories deeper than words could carry. And now, finding out s

The city lights flickered like restless stars outside Adrian's penthouse window. He stood with a tumbler of untouched whiskey in hand, eyes lost in the skyline, but mind far from it. His thoughts were consumed—unshakable. That woman. Her face. Her presence. Her scent.“Why do I feel like I’ve known her?” he murmured to himself, tapping the glass against his lower lip absentmindedly.The brief exchange at the restaurant had disturbed his usual calm. For a man used to moving through life with unbothered grace, this nagging curiosity was a foreign, almost irritating feeling.He turned away from the window and strode over to his home office. The blue screen of his laptop greeted him, and he quickly brought up the secure search system only he and Mark used.“Rita...” he mumbled, unsure of her last name.He typed in a few keywords from what little he remembered—Goodcure Hospital, new patient, recent move-in—and within minutes, her profile began to form.When he found her full name—Rita Muth

The soft hum of jazz music filled the intimate corners of the cozy restaurant Rita had come to love since settling into her new city. The lighting was warm, the scent of fresh herbs and grilled delicacies hung gently in the air, and the quiet chatter of diners created a comforting background buzz. It was her little escape—a place to sit in solitude, sip her favorite mango-passion juice, and let her thoughts drift freely.That afternoon, Rita sat by the window, a novel in hand, her belly barely showing under her sundress. The quiet life was treating her well, and today was meant to be just like the others—peaceful and uneventful.Until he walked in.Tall. Commanding. Effortlessly graceful.The air shifted the moment Dr. Adrian stepped through the arched doorway of the restaurant. Dressed in a simple yet tailored blazer and dark trousers, his presence was magnetic. Conversations paused. A few heads subtly turned. Even the waiters seemed to stand straighter.Rita hadn’t noticed him at fi

The Williams estate had never looked so magnificent. Golden lanterns lined the garden pathways, casting a warm glow as the grand celebration unfolded. A cool evening breeze carried the scent of fresh roses and jasmine, blending with the melodies of a live orchestra playing in the background. Guests dressed in the finest attire mingled, their glasses clinking in joyous toasts.This was a night of celebration—not just for wealth and success, but for truth, redemption, and love.At the heart of the event, Mr. William stood beside Grace, his eyes gleaming with pride as he raised a glass to address the guests.“Tonight, we honor not just a lost daughter, but a strong woman who fought for her place in this family. Grace, my child, welcome home.”Applause erupted. Grace swallowed the lump in her throat, overwhelmed by the acceptance she had craved all her life. She glanced at Adrian, who gave her an encouraging nod, his hand firmly holding hers.She stepped forward, her voice steady but emot

As the night continued, laughter and celebration filled the air. Grace basked in the warmth of her newfound family, unaware of the danger lurking just outside the estate.Diana stood in the shadows, her eyes never leaving Grace. She held the USB drive tightly in her palm, her mind racing through her plan. She had spent weeks gathering fabricated evidence, working with her accomplice to create a scandal that would ruin Grace’s image before she could fully settle into her new life.Beside her, the mysterious man smirked. “Are you sure you want to do this now? She’s got a lot of support.”Diana’s lips curled into a sinister grin. “That’s exactly why we have to do it now. The higher she climbs, the harder she’ll fall.”Inside the grand ballroom, Grace felt a vibration against her palm. She glanced down at her phone and saw an unknown number flashing on the screen.Frowning, she excused herself from the crowd and stepped onto the balcony, pressing the phone to her ear.“Hello?”A deep voic

The night was eerily silent as Adrian and Grace arrived at the old estate. The grand mansion, once filled with warmth and laughter, now stood as a dark shadow of its past. The wind howled through the broken windows, sending an unsettling chill down Grace’s spine.Adrian squeezed her hand. “Stay close to me. If anything seems off, we leave.”Grace nodded, her heart pounding. She had spent so long uncovering the truth, and now, she was moments away from facing the woman who had tormented her family.They pushed open the heavy wooden doors and stepped inside. The grand hall was dimly lit by flickering chandeliers, their light barely piercing the darkness. At the far end, a lone figure stood—Margret.She turned slowly, a wicked smile playing on her lips. “You actually came. I knew you would.”Adrian took a step forward, his eyes locked on her. “Cut the games, Margret. You wanted us here. Now talk.”Margret let out a low chuckle, her eyes gleaming with malice. “You think you’ve won, don’t

As the night of celebration came to an end, Grace and Adrian returned home, unaware of the dark clouds gathering around them. Grace, exhausted from the whirlwind of emotions, settled into Adrian’s arms."Tonight was perfect," she murmured, running her fingers through his hair.Adrian smiled, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "It was, but we both know peace never lasts long with people like Benson and Margret lurking around."Grace sighed. "I just wish, for once, they’d let us live our lives."Adrian tightened his hold around her. "Whatever they’re planning, we’ll face it together."Meanwhile, Benson was far from done. He stormed into Margret’s suite, his jaw tight with frustration."What the hell were you thinking, siding with those men? Do you even realize the mess you’re dragging me into?"Margret remained calm, sipping her wine. "I know exactly what I’m doing, Benson. You’re the one who doesn’t understand the game."Benson’s eyes darkened. "You still think you can outsmart Adrian an

That evening, Grace arrived at the dimly lit café where Brenda had asked to meet her. The air was thick with the scent of freshly brewed coffee, but Grace had no appetite for it—her instincts screamed that something was off.Brenda was already seated in a corner booth, her hands wrapped around a cup of tea. When she saw Grace, her lips curled into a smile, but her eyes held something unreadable."You actually came," Brenda murmured, gesturing for Grace to sit.Grace slid into the seat, keeping her posture guarded. "You said you had something to tell me."Brenda sighed dramatically. "Oh, Grace, you have no idea what’s been happening behind your back. Your so-called family? They were never looking for you. They were looking for someone they could control. That’s why I—"She stopped abruptly, catching herself.Grace narrowed her eyes. "You what, Brenda?"Brenda leaned forward, her expression suddenly desperate. "I was supposed to be the one. I was supposed to be their daughter, Grace. Bu

As the glamorous gala continued, the hall was filled with laughter, music, and celebration. Grace had finally found her true place—with a family that cherished her, a husband who adored her, and a life free of the deception that had tried to tear her down.But not everyone was happy.From the far end of the hall, a pair of eyes burned with resentment, watching Grace bask in her newfound happiness.The woman who had pretended to be the lost Lennox daughter—Clara—had been exposed, humiliated, and dragged away by the police just days before. However, her hatred for Grace had only intensified behind bars.And she wasn't the only one.At the back of the estate, where the celebration lights barely reached, a black car was parked discreetly. Inside, a figure sat in the driver's seat, tapping his fingers against the steering wheel impatiently."She’s glowing like a damn queen," he muttered, watching Grace through a pair of binoculars. His face twisted with hatred. "That should have been Clara
