Chapter: Chapter 16:William pt 1**The night Divine fainted** Suddenly, a crashing noise disrupted the merriment. A soft wooden stool, not designed to bear the weight of a falling body, had shattered beneath Divine as she collapsed. The guests turned toward the sound, their conversations halting mid-sentence. Gasps and murmurs spread like wildfire as they rushed to the scene. Divine lay unconscious on the grass, her face pale and a thin trickle of blood running from a small cut on her forehead. Hovering over her was Mr James who was with her when she passed out and a mysterious man, tall and familiar, his face etched with concern. The crowd froze, recognizing the man who should not be there: William, her supposedly dead husband's younger brother. Rebecca, Divine's mother-in-law, pushed through the gathering, her heart pounding.

Chapter: Chapter Fourteen:Almost CaughtIt was a bright Saturday morning, the day of the grand party thrown to welcome Divine to the Karada mansion and to reveal her baby’s name. Alina, which meant "light," was the chosen name, perfectly encapsulating the hopes they held for her future. At five a.m., the event planner and decorators arrived, bustling around the mansion to get everything set up. By seven a.m., they had transformed the estate into an elegant venue fit for a high-society event. Divine, known to everyone as Sarah, went through the guest list one last time.
