Caroline’s POV:To find out that William had broken it off with Sophia (the woman he had cheated on me with and ended our marriage over) so quickly made my head spin. Was she not lovable enough for him? Had William come to my rescue just so I could be a cheap replacement for his disappointing bride?

Caroline’s POV:George’s crying startled me out of my tired stupor. Still lying in my arms, the baby’s little hands grabbed at my shirt, begging for something. His cries had snagged the attention of the newly hired nanny, who looked panicked and unsure of what to do.“Oh, come here, little George,”
William’s POV:The day I took Sophia home was the day I saw what true despair looked like. Looking back, I realized that forcing a pregnant woman to face something so heart-wrenching was just cruel. The look of pain and betrayal on Caroline’s face still lingered in my mind even now. Although the te

Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:“Please! Wake up! You shouldn’t just die like this!” I desperately tried to cover his wound with my hand, but the blood kept flowing uncontrollably.“Miss, calm down, we have to get him to the hospital first!”Police had to tear me away from William’s body so that he could be
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:“Lily?” I peered behind me to see William standing in the doorway, his eyes wide in disbelief. It was as though he were seeing a ghost. He knew the identity of my kidnapper, and from the look on his face, I knew we were in trouble.A bitter smile crossed Lily’s face. “Long t
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:As I gradually returned to the waking world, the first thing that came to my attention was my pounding headache. I tried to groan, but something was covering my mouth. There was an attempt to remove it, but my hands were locked firmly behind me.Opening my eyes, I realized I
William’s POV:Watching Evelyn’s car drive away from my window wasn’t easy. My throat tightened and I spent some time on my bed, wallowing in regret. I couldn’t tell if the ache in my chest was from my condition or the knowledge that I was deceiving Evelyn.I shouldn’t have argued with her. I should
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:The doctor took one look at the pill and swiftly provided an answer. “Miss, this is a medication used to treat cardiovascular diseases. More specifically, it’s commonly used for myocarditis.”My heart sank like it was weighted by stones. “Myocarditis? Are you sure?” I asked,
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:I sprinted over and fell to my knees in front of William, quickly lifting his upper body into my lap. He looked to be in agony. Picking up the emptied pill bottle on the floor, I checked the label, only to find it torn off. I couldn’t deduce what illness he had.“William, wha
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:“But why?” I asked, confusion thick in my voice. “I didn’t ask for this. What is he trying to pull here?”“I’m just acting on Mr. Anderson’s behalf,” the lawyer stated politely. “I don’t know any more than you do. Now, please verify the terms and sign the document, and you ca
Caroline/ Evelyn’s POV:The next week flew by in a blur, and before I knew it, it was the day of the custody hearing. I sat beside Elbert nervously outside the courtroom, fiddling with my stack of papers as the minutes ticked by. I was dressed professionally with all my documents sorted accordingly,
