Chapter: EpilogueAt the crescent wood residence, the garden was dashingly decorated for the sip and see party of Sean and Andrea's son, where friends and family gathered to welcome the baby. Andrea was dressed in matching blue outfits with her son, while the twins matched with Sean. The smiles on their faces were evident and blissful. Andrea climbed the stage with her son in her arms; he was the exact replica of herself, with black hair and green emerald eyes, just like hers.Sean was jealous at first, but thought it was fair since the twins looked exactly like him. Andrea stepped up to the microphone, her hands trembling slightly as she adjusted it to her height. The air was thick with anticipation. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves, and began to speak."Good day, everyone," she said, her voice steady but laced with emotion. "First and foremost, I'd like to thank each and every one of you present for standing by me, Sean, and the kids during our hard times. It means a lot to us that

Chapter: proposalThe doctor transferred Andrea to the VIP ward as per Sean's instructions, where she lay motionless on the bed, her porcelain skin looking like alabaster and her chapped lips a faint reminder of her struggles. The soft hum of machines and the gentle beeps of monitors surrounded her, a stark contrast to the chaos that had erupted just days ago.Sean sat beside her, his eyes fixed on her face as he held her hand tightly. It had been two long days since she'd last opened her eyes, and the uncertainty was eating away at him. "It's a brand new day, baby," he whispered, his voice low and husky. "Won't you open your eyes for me?"As he spoke, his phone vibrated in his pocket, breaking the silence. He reluctantly released Andrea's hand and rose from the stool, his gaze lingering on her pale face, before he stepped out into the hospital corridor."Boss, I've arrived at the hospital," his assistant, Drew, said over the phone. "But I can't seem to find you—did I misremember your instructions?"Se

Chapter: he'll only listen to himself"Actually, I don't think that's a really good idea?" " Are you scared that I might make a move on you? Come on, I won't touch you without your consent Lena, I promise" That was the last thing Jacob would ever do after discovering that she was a victim of assault, although the culprit have been jailed. He had planned to tell her, but he knew it would make her uncomfortable and might make her feel unworthy of him, so he decided to keep it a secret." Really?" " Yeah" Jacob came forward and carried her in a bridal style to his bedroom upstairs, he placed her gently on the bed and squat down in front of her. " This room belongs to the both of us and what is mine is yours too." he then fetched out a small blue box from his pocket, revealing a heart shaped blue diamond ring. " Lena, don't panic. I'm not asking you to marry me just yet. I just want to make you feel rest assured so I got this promise ring for you" he took Elena's hand and slide the ring into her finger which looked good

Chapter: I wish you a safe deliveryAs Sean and Andrea arrived at Jacob's residence, they found Elena busy cooking dinner in the kitchen. The aroma of roasting vegetables wafted through the air, mingling with the sound of sizzling meat on the stovetop.Elena turned to greet them, a warm smile on her face. "Hey, guys! Come on in."Andrea followed Elena into the kitchen, taking in the cozy atmosphere as she began to help with dinner preparations."Sean," Jacob said, his eyes locked on his friend, "do you think Carmen will defend her cousin in court?""I don't think so," Sean replied thoughtfully. "But Carmen, I know, is smart and calculative. I'm sure she wouldn't do anything stupid to spoil her career."As they continued their conversation, Sean glanced around the kitchen, his eyes lingering on Elena, before returning to Jacob. "So did you tell her how you feel?"Jacob nodded sheepishly. "Yeah, I did after the accident. And I even asked her to marry me."Sean's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "What did she say?"Jacob's fa

Chapter: go get her!As Megan sat in the garden, her legs crossed and a cigarette dangling from her mouth, she dialed a number on her phone. The receiver picked up immediately, and she demanded, "What did I tell you earlier? Didn't I tell you to always keep me updated on what's going on?"The man on the other end groaned in frustration. "What am I supposed to update you on, woman? Can't you just let me do my job in peace?"Megan's eyes narrowed as she took a long drag on her cigarette. "Watch how you speak to me," she said coldly. "I'm paying you, and I expect results."The man sighed. "Fine. You told me Elena usually leaves work by 6 p.m. It's already 6. She's out."Megan's eyes flickered with excitement. "Great," she said, her voice dripping with malice.As Elena walked out of her workplace, oblivious to the danger lurking nearby, Megan spoke into her phone again. "Go get her."The truck driver started his engine slowly, careful not to alarm Elena as he moved in closer. When the time was right, he stepp

Chapter: mommy, why do you look happy?The next morning, Elena woke up as early as possible and got dressed to leave for work. She had no idea where Jacob went inin the early hours of the day, as she didn't meet him in the room when she woke up.She fixed her hair in the mirror and grabbed her bag, then immediately unlocked the door to leave. Just as she did, Jacob walked in with a tray carrying sandwiches, tea, and sliced apples. "Have breakfast before you leave," he said, placing it on the center table and sitting down on the bed, gesturing for her to take a seat beside him.Elena looked at him in surprise and sat down without touching the food. "Should I feed you myself,myself, or did you get it?" he asked, arching his brows at her."I got it," she quickly replied before he could do something strange again. Jacob watched her finish every piece of her breakfast before finally seeming satisfied."Let me drive you to work," he said."I thought you had important things to do today, which is why you got up so early," Elena s

Jake blinked innocently. "500 million? What do you need such a huge amount of money for?" he asked, arching his brows at her.
"Can you quit the act already? Will you lend it to me or not?" she demanded, her voice coming out firm.
Jake shrugged his shoulders "Why don't you be my wife instead, and you won't have to pay back a dime?“ his eyes shone with instrest which didn't last for a moment before he returned back to his stoic demeanor.
A snicker escaped her lips. "Mr. Carter, are you doing this just to get back at me?"
The man slowly got up from his seat and gracefully walked up to Danielle who was standing a few inches away. His lips curled up faintly as he closed the little space between them. "Do you think I'm over you, Bubbles?" He whispered into her ear, sending shivers down her spine.

Chapter: chapter 5The cellphone on the desk began to ring for the third time, and the man sitting before his desk glanced over at the caller ID reluctantly before answering his phone."Tell me quickly," Jake said immediately, picking up."Are you down for drinks tonight?" Mason quickly asked."No, I have plans for tonight.""Come on, you are always turning me down. What's your excuse this time?""Are you trying to get yourself killed? Tell me, why did you call?" Jake demanded impatiently; he knew Mason wouldn't call him over such trivial stuff."You are so mean. I just wanted to tell you I saw your girl going into her father's room. What is your relationship with her, if I may ask?" Mason demanded that, although he has been good friends with Jake for many years, Jake barely open up to him."What does that have to do with your job? I kindly request that you transfer her dad to the VIP ward and provide the best treatment, which I believe you have taken care of, so why are you calling during work hours?"

Chapter: chapter 4Danielle pushed him slightly as she glared at him. “Mr. Carter, where are your manners?”“Typical feisty Danielle.” He smirked and stepped back a little, and Danielle immediately relaxed.“Look, I don't think you are reasoning straight right now. Why would you want to get married to a girl like me?” She questioned, relaxing her hand on her hip.“Nothing in life comes without a price, bubbles. Think about it: if you agree to become mine, I will protect you from Davis Anderson. You have my words.”Danielle bit the corner of her lips, pondering what decision to make. “Are you doing this for the sake of sex?” She demanded. She couldn't keep ignoring the way he had been holding her body hostage with his eyes.“You can also add that to the equation. There's no time, bubbles; it's either now or never.”“If that's the case, you don't need to go through the stress of getting married to me before we have sex. If that's what you want, then we can as well do it now." Danielle blurted it out shame

Chapter: chapter 3Danielle clenched her fist tightly and rose to her feet. She wiped the dirt from her body and scanned the room, glaring daggers at each one of them present who were enjoying the show Davis was putting on.Her gaze finally stopped on the devil himself. "Davis, you think you crushed me tonight, huh? I promise, you will regret this day.” She smirked sinisterly at him before stomping off.Rushing out of the place dejectedly, tears rolled down her cheeks freely, and for the first time ever in her life, she felt completely helpless and disgraced."What do I do now? What if Davis does something worse to destroy me?“ All sorts of thoughts race into her head, making her feel fuzzy.She sighed deeply and decided to give her mother a call; she couldn't stop worrying about their safety or if Davis was planning on sending his men to harass her parents at the hospital.As the cellphone kept ringing, Danielle's heart pounded faster in her chest as she prayed for her mother to answer the call."Mom,

Chapter: Chapter 2Victoria Young was about to go into her husband's ward when she spotted her daughter walking in her direction. She quickly walked up to her. “Dear, did you speak to him?“ she demanded in a soft tone."Yeah, I did. Davis is ready to make compromises with the condition that I have to go on a date with him,” Danielle lied. Although Davis had casually mentioned wanting her to accompany him to a party, she knew he was up to no good."You don't have to worry, mom; he already knows that I can't give him what he truly wants,” she added, also trying to comfort and convince herself.“I don't want you to go. What if it's just one of his traps to lure you? I won't be able to bear it if anything happens to you. You know, it's your father and, as well, my fault for introducing that devil to you in the first place,” Mrs. Young said, her voice filled with worry."Relax. I know you don't want me to do anything, but I can't just sit back and let someone mess with the company that took Dad years of hard

Chapter: Chapter 1"Mom, please stop crying and tell me why you asked me to come to the hospital." Danielle's puzzled expression caught her mother's attention as she looked up from her palms. She sniffled and said, "The company suddenly went bankrupt overnight, and your father's illness has resurfaced again." Her voice broke as she choked on her words.A pang of pain hit Danielle's chest, and she found it difficult to breathe for a split second. Seeing her mother's helpless expression made her heart ache. She sighed deeply and pulled her mother in for a tight hug. "It's fine. Everything will be alright. I'm sure Dad's surgery will go well, and he will get back on his feet and take care of things in the company."Mrs. Young's gaze flickered, and she suddenly fell silent before saying, "Child, don't tell your dad about this. He especially warned me not to tell you, but I can't possibly keep you in the dark. Davis Anderson is responsible for everything."Hearing his name made Danielle's eyes narrow with di

Chapter: what did you find out?"As Natalie and Avery walked towards the cafeteria for lunch break, Natalie peppered Avery with silly questions about her weekend getaways. "'I'm not talking about it now,' Avery said calmly, crossing her arms over her chest. " But before Natalie could respond, someone barged into Avery, sending her tumbling to the ground. As she sat up, rubbing her sore bottom, she found herself face-to-face with Valarie's smug grin. "'What's going on with you?' Natalie demanded angrily, helping Avery get up from the ground. "'I didn't do anything,' Valarie sneered, blowing a bubble with her gum. 'You're just being paranoid.' Just then, Nikki chimed in, 'Hey, Valerie, why waste your time talking to these two losers when Maxwell is waiting for you at the cafeteria?' "Nikki is right, Val," Melanie, the dark-skinned one with brown curls and cat eyes, chimed in. "Right!" Valarie smiled sweetly and smoothed down her short skirt. "Let's go, girls," she said, and they immediately spun on their h

Chapter: stepmom"Huh? I should do what with my?" Avery asked, her voice laced with uncertainty, to ensure she had heard Evan correctly. Evan grasped her chin and gave it a gentle squeeze, tilting her face upward so she met his piercing sapphire blue eyes. "You heard me correctly, Avery," he said in his magnetic voice, his words sending shivers down her spine. Avery's gaze drifted over his features, her eyes tracing the sharp contours of his face: his thick, carved-looking brows, his blue eyes that seemed to hold a hint of mischief, and his thin, soft pink lips. She felt like she was mesmerized by his gaze; her breath caught in her throat. "I'm waiting, Avery," his low, seductive voice whispered in her ear. His eyes remained locked on hers, as if daring her to break free from the spell he'd cast. As if she'd been snapped out of a trance, Avery blinked innocently and swallowed hard. She slowly leaned in, her lips brushing against his as she savored the taste of the wine in the glass. The taste o

She couldn't help but replay the intense moments in their minds, reliving the thrill of their encounter. If not for the soundproofing in the office, she was certain everyone would have heard her scream.As she replayed the scene in her mind, her cheeks grew hot and flushed, much like a ripe tomato. She nervously fidgeted with her fingers, trying to hide how unsteady she felt as her legs wobbled beneath her. Luckily, there were few people around.Avery groaned inwardly, 'Why did his assistant park so far from the restaurant?' as she scanned the area, hoping no one she knew would spot them.But her relief was short-lived, as a familiar figure emerged from afar. As Max approached, Avery's eyes widened in alarm. 'Max! What do I do now?' she thought, her heart racing with uncertainty.Without hesitation, Avery grasped Evan's arm and pulled him close, throwing herself into a

Chapter: what excuses? Avery woke up feeling refreshed and grateful that it was the weekend, which meant she didn't have to face Maxwell's scowl after everything that had transpired between them. The first thing she did was pick up her phone from the nightstand, and to her utmost surprise, she found a series of unanswered calls from Evan. As she recalled last night's events, after she'd cried her eyes out, she had wanted to wait for Evan to return but instead had fallen asleep. Staring at her phone, wondering if he was going to be mad at her, she decided to go apologize to him before he left for work. As she slowly headed towards his room, her legs trembled with each step she took. She stopped in her tracks as she heard the sound of his voice on the phone. "I need you to find me an alternative as soon as possible," he said. "You're aware I don't have the luxury of time." Avery's expression darkened slightly as she made out his conversation on the phone. "Is he planning on replacing me?" The thought

Chapter: let him inAvery's eyelids flickered open, the bright morning light piercing through the blinds and making her wince. She lay there for a moment, trying to shake off the lingering fatigue from last night's activities. As she slowly sat up, she winced again, her body protesting the movement. She glanced around her room, taking in the familiar surroundings. Her bed was a mess, with clothes scattered everywhere. She must have had a rough night. Avery's thoughts turned to last night's events. She couldn't believe she'd lost her virginity at such an age. If someone had told her she'd be in this situation, she wouldn't have believed it. She felt a pang of sadness wash over her. She thought about her mom, who was still recovering from her illness. Avery hoped she'd recover soon so they could hang out together like old times. With a heavy heart, Avery got out of bed and began getting ready for the day. As Avery walked through the crowded hallway, she couldn't help but scroll through her phone, he
