Yvonne stared at David's face in the picture. It was filled with love and affection for Sammy, a look she couldn’t recall being directed at her in a long time.

Despite this, she held the phone firmly, her demeanor composed, unlike Amy, who had broken down for her sake. Yvonne was in shock, trapped in a state she couldn't escape. The rest of her actions were on autopilot.

She seemed unaffected, not ready to shed a single tear over the news she had just heard, and she thanked Amy for letting her know. Amy’s worried inquiries were met with Yvonne’s calm assurance that she was fine. She even managed to see Amy and Mark off with a composed expression, escorting them to their car and wishing them goodnight.

When she returned to her room, Yvonne locked the door behind her and lay down on her bed, her face blank. She remained that way until the following morning, unable to think or process any information. It was like being in a comatose state.

Though aware of her surroundings, she couldn’t r

    In less than 14 minutes, the door was forcefully opened by the building's technical management team. As soon as the door gave way, Micheal and the others rushed inside, and from the entryway, they could see Yvonne lying on her bed.The bedroom door was ajar. Yvonne looked extremely pale yet serene, unmoving, though her lashes quivered, indicating she was aware of the commotion.Micheal's heart pounded in his chest as he took large strides toward her. Amy followed closely behind, while the men who had assisted, along with the security guard, stayed by the doorway, ready to act if necessary.“That’s the same outfit she wore last night,” Amy whispered to Micheal as they entered the bedroom.Micheal leaned over Yvonne, his voice gentle. “Can you hear me?”Yvonne could only blink.“I think she’s paralyzed from shock. Babe, blink again if you can hear me,” Amy said, moving closer to check Yvonne's pulse.Yvonne blinked in response, tears welling in her eyes and slowly trickling down her che

    “Daddy, where is Miss Yvonne?” Lily asked anxiously as soon as Micheal stepped into the house.Yvonne hadn’t been discharged yet. The doctors were still monitoring her, unable to determine exactly what was wrong. She didn’t speak, simply staring up at the ceiling, and attempts to feed her were futile. Though she could stand and use the washroom when necessary, she remained largely unresponsive.Every kind word Micheal offered brought tears to her eyes. When she eventually fell asleep, her body burned with fever, and she struggled as if tormented by her dreams.It was a delicate situation, and Micheal couldn’t bear to leave her side. He managed to keep in touch with his children through video calls, gently coaxing them to go to bed by promising to update them about Yvonne’s condition. When he returned home the next morning, he found Jack and Lily waiting for him at the doorway, still in their pajamas. Despite their bodyguards’ best efforts, the children had refused to get dressed for

    When Micheal returned to Yvonne's ward, he was relieved to see her sitting up in bed, slowly spooning porridge into her mouth. She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn’t notice him until he was standing right next to her. Startled, she looked up at him.He studied her intently before asking, "How are you feeling now?"“I feel nothing,” she replied.“Hollow?” he asked, sitting down on the bed beside her. With ease, he lifted her leg and began massaging her foot with gentle pressure.Yvonne didn’t react physically, but her eyes widened slightly. “Why?” she asked.Micheal’s tone remained calm as he explained, “You should be grateful for your young age. You might have had a stroke otherwise. Your body was immobile for nearly 24 hours.”Yvonne pressed her lips together, finding some comfort in his gentle touch. She watched him quietly before asking, “Jack and Lily didn’t see me like that, did they?”Micheal shook his head. “No, they didn’t. But they’re worried about you and will v

    When Yvonne heard his question, a sincere smile graced her face.“Hmm. That was a hell of an experience. To be honest, I was so drawn to them that I cannot explain it with words.It wasn’t just because they’re good kids, although many children have their own mindset shaped by their upbringing. What truly caught my attention with Lily was her personality. She’s timid, but when she’s with her brother, she’s the opposite. I started to wonder, is it instinctual? Or is she mature beyond her years, able to handle herself so well?She’s barely four, and yet she can switch her demeanor like a pro. But if you look deep into her eyes, there’s a defiant fire burning within whenever she pretends to be timid in front of the other children’s teasing.And then there’s Jack. A fine young boy who always seems unbothered compared to his sister when others are around, but when he’s alone, he shows his sadness. Yet, whenever they’re both present during the teasing, he becomes emotional, standing up to pr

    With her emotions stirred, Yvonne couldn’t help but delve deeper into the painful memories related to children. She had never truly expressed how she felt about that day.“I’m not insane, Mr. Langston,” she whispered softly.“I know you’re not,” Micheal replied, pushing aside his thoughts to focus on the woman beside him.“I saw it in Amy’s eyes. I saw it in David’s eyes. They were on the verge of taking me to a psychiatric hospital. If Amy hadn’t been so close to me, maybe that would’ve happened.What did they expect? I carried my baby for nine long months. I had bags full of clothes, a closet stacked with toys I bought with every penny I had. I was fully prepared to be a mother. My boyfriend grew distant after I conceived, so I talked to my baby every day. I assured my child that once David met them, he would be the proudest dad in the world.I spent every day of my pregnancy creating a bond with my child. At first, it felt like I was talking to myself, but then I started getting re

    Yvonne's emotions washed over her in relentless waves. Images of David and Sammy's wedding haunted her memory, replaying over and over, and all she wanted was to shut them out. She preferred the numbness to the pain of remembering what had happened.Yvonne’s mind had conjured countless images of her baby. She imagined a fair-skinned boy or a dark-skinned girl, trying to create a picture in her mind as she desperately sought any way to remember her lost child. These hallucinations were her only connection to the child she had never been able to hold.She had known David her entire youth, and she vividly recalled how he had been there for her during her mourning period. She slowly leaned on his comfort, and when she realized her attempts to picture their baby were making him uneasy, she buried the pain deep within herself. Yvonne focused all the love she had left on David, giving him everything, including her life.Those years were spent nurturing his career. After their loss, his futur

    Yvonne knew deep down that David was right. She had endured everything she noticed about him because she couldn’t imagine any life other than the one they had built together. He was also the only person who connected her to her baby. Perhaps she had been selfish, and now she was paying the price.But it hurt. Yvonne felt shattered, yet Micheal's words had reached her. Moreover, she now had two little angels in her life, and in just a few hours, they would be at her hospital ward to visit her.The thought of the children worrying about her brought a small sense of calm. Slowly, Yvonne unfolded from her fetal position and buried her face in the pillow, sobbing bitterly.“You’ll be fine,” she heard Micheal say softly, but her sobs only grew louder.A few hours later, the security guards, usually discreetly protecting the twins, were tasked with picking them up from school and bringing them to the hospital. When Yvonne saw the children, her pain was momentarily eased.Lily, sweet as alway

    Finally alone in her room, Yvonne did a lot of thinking. Many of her conclusions were positive because, at the end of the day, Lily and Jack still loved her deeply.She could feel their love, and she loved them just as much. Yvonne freshened up and got ready to leave her apartment.Later in the afternoon, a lone silhouette stood outside the towering Langston Corporation building. Her auburn hair was loose, flowing gracefully down either side of her face. Her slender figure radiated sadness and melancholy, yet there was a warmth and allure about her that drew the eyes of passersby.She exuded an aura of serenity that piqued curiosity, inviting others to wonder about the personality hidden behind it. Dressed in loose black pants and a simple white blouse, the contrast between the blouse's snug fit and the loose trousers that further accentuated her hips drew attention.Many people walked in and out of the Langston building, some standing nearby as Yvonne did.

    Yvonne’s grip on the steering wheel tightened as she drove, her thoughts tumbling over one another in a chaotic spiral. Rebecca’s words echoed relentlessly in her mind, each revelation a fresh jab at her sanity. Her mother-in-law’s scheming mentality, the involvement of Sammy, and Rebecca’s initial role in the plot — it was too much to bear.Her stomach churned violently, nausea clawing at her insides. Beads of sweat dotted her forehead as she struggled to maintain her composure. She took a shaky breath, but the bile rising in her throat was impossible to suppress.Spotting an empty stretch of road, Yvonne veered her car to the side and flung the door open. She leaned out just in time as her stomach revolted, expelling everything inside. Her body trembled as the wave of nausea subsided, leaving her weak and disoriented. She sat there for a moment, head resting against the steering wheel, trying to steady her ragged breathing."You fool! You idiot!" she muttered through gritted teeth,

    The soft chime of his phone disrupted Micheal’s focus. He glanced at the screen, his brow furrowing as he read the message from one of the guards stationed at home:Something happened between Rebecca and Yvonne. She doesn’t look well.Micheal’s grip on the phone tightened, his jaw clenching. A wave of unease washed over him, and he leaned back in his chair, staring at the text. Had he made a mistake? She could still recall Yvonne’s fear from the previous night.He had allowed Yvonne to have her way, insisting Rebecca should be given a chance to integrate into their lives for the children’s sake. Micheal had been reluctant, sensing the complexities of Rebecca’s intentions, but Yvonne’s kindhearted nature had won out.Now, he wondered if his trust had been misplaced.Without wasting another moment, he dialed the guard’s number. The line clicked, and the guard answered immediately.“What happened?” Micheal’s tone was sharp, leaving no room for ambiguity.The guard hesitated briefly. “Sir

    The weight of Rebecca’s revelation hung heavily in the air, leaving Yvonne utterly speechless.Her mind swirled with questions, each one louder than the last. What baffled her most was the audacity of Rebecca’s confession. Why would she admit this so confidently? Did she not realize that Yvonne held the power to banish her from their lives entirely?Yvonne’s lips parted, a shaky breath escaping as she tried to gather her thoughts. Finally, she managed to stammer, “What are... are you saying?” Her voice trembled, her wide eyes searching Rebecca’s face for clarity.Rebecca exhaled deeply, her gaze flicking toward the kitchen door as if she expected someone to burst in. “It’s a long story,” she murmured, her tone steady but tinged with weariness. “And it’s not fair to keep the kids waiting.”Her eyes returned to Yvonne, filled with an unexpected vulnerability. “I told you this because I can’t do it anymore, Yvonne. I can’t laugh with the children, play the part of their loving aunt, know

    The sunlight streaming through the curtains felt warmer than usual, but Yvonne barely noticed it. The house was silent except for the soft padding of her feet down the hallway. Micheal was already gone for work—something he always did on the mornings Rebecca visited. It wasn’t a coincidence, Yvonne knew that much. He loathed being around Rebecca, but his absence meant Yvonne had to deal with her. Today was one of the days Rebecca will come to their house. Yvonne reached the twins’ room, her frustration tempered by the sight of Jack and Lily sleeping soundly. She knelt beside Lily, brushing a stray curl from her face. “Good morning, sweetheart,” she whispered, kissing her temple. Lily stirred, her eyes fluttering open as a small smile stretched across her lips. “Good morning, Mommy.” Jack woke up next, rubbing his eyes groggily. Yvonne pulled him into a brief hug, pressing a kiss to his forehead before helping them both out of bed. She guided them to the bathroom, assisting them a

    Yvonne woke up the next morning, her mind tangled with remnants of last night’s conversation with Micheal. She lay still, watching the sunlight filter through the curtains, trying to convince herself that all was well. Micheal’s words had been so reassuring, yet a flicker of doubt still tugged at her. She thought of Rebecca’s presence in their lives. Was it truly harmless, as Micheal had suggested, or was there something more beneath her growing closeness to the kids? Micheal’s confidence had left her feeling comforted, yet it didn’t fully quiet the lingering worry that Rebecca’s bond with Jack and Lily might, over time, change things in ways she hadn’t anticipated. With a sigh, Yvonne reached for her phone. Maybe I’m overthinking this, she thought, dialing Amy’s number. Amy always had a way of seeing things clearly, and even if it was a small thing, Yvonne needed her perspective. Amy picked up after the second ring, her voice warm. “Good morning, Yvonne! You’re up early.” Yvonne g

    After spending 20 more minutes to honor Amy, Micheal was signaling to Yvonne that it is time to leave, which Amy caught and teased him with.However she understood that they lived far from her place. If they wait till her husband returns home, they will have to travel late into the night.The family of four bid their farewell and soon they arrived at home.When it was finally time for bed, Yvonne tucked the twins in, their sleepy faces lighting up at her presence. She kissed each of them goodnight, lingering a little longer with Jack, who whispered, “Are you going to tell us more stories tomorrow?”“Of course,” Yvonne replied softly, her heart aching. She turned off the light and closed the door behind her, taking a deep breath to steady herself.Once the children were settled, she joined Micheal in their room. The atmosphere was calm, but Yvonne couldn’t shake her worries. She could feel the tension still lingering between them, and Micheal sensed it too.“Yvonne,” he said softly, mo

    The afternoon sun streamed through the kitchen window, casting a warm glow over Yvonne and Amy as they prepared a light meal. The air was filled with the mouthwatering aroma of freshly baked bread and ripe strawberries, and the sound of laughter echoed from the kids’ playroom. Jack and Lily were busy crafting their imaginary worlds, their giggles a sweet melody that made Yvonne’s heart swell.“Can you believe your graduation is just around the corner?” Amy said, glancing up from chopping vegetables, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “You’ve worked so hard for this, Yvonne. It’s such a big deal!”Yvonne smiled, a mix of pride and anxiety churning within her. “I know! It feels surreal. After everything, I’m finally going to walk across that stage.” She paused, her gaze drifting to the children’s laughter. “But it’s also intimidating. What’s next for me? I want to make sure I don’t let anyone down, especially Micheal and the kids.”“Oh, come on,” Amy said, waving her knife playfully. “

    Amy’s grip on Yvonne’s hand tightened, her gaze steady as she continued, “Look, I’m not saying it’ll be easy. The kids already like her, which makes it more complicated. But you have to set boundaries. You can’t let her keep weaving herself in, Yvonne.”Yvonne took a shaky breath, the weight of Amy’s words pressing on her. “You’re right. I was so focused on what was best for Jack and Lily that I forgot… I have a place in this family too. I’ve built this with them, with Micheal.” She paused, feeling a new determination fill her. “Maybe it’s time I start acting like it.”Amy’s expression softened as she nodded. “Exactly. I know how much the kids mean to you, and I understand your instinct to want them happy, but there’s a line. You can still protect what you’ve built with them without being super kind or allowing someone in unnecessarily. You don’t owe anyone access to your family if it makes you uncomfortable.”Yvonne’s shoulders relaxed slightly, feeling the weight shift from her ches

    Yvonne stepped out of the car with a faint smile, holding Jack and Lily’s hands as they made their way up to Amy’s front door. It had been too long since they’d had a real conversation. Today was meant to be light-hearted, just a simple visit, but a persistent weight had settled over Yvonne’s heart, one she knew she’d eventually need to unburden to Amy.When the door swung open, Amy’s face immediately lit up with delight as she supported her baby bump with her left hand. “There they are! My favorite little troublemakers,” she grinned, crouching down to greet Jack and Lily with open arms. The twins broke into bright smiles, rushing forward for hugs as they babbled eagerly about their latest adventures and mischief.“Aunt Amy!” Jack exclaimed, eyes twinkling. “Guess what? I learned to ride my bike without training wheels!”“Oh, is that so?” Amy raised an eyebrow, feigning shock. “Next thing I know, you’ll be driving cars! And what about you, Lily?
