Ben felt Jamie’s reaction as her fingers curled tightly around his neck, and the corner of his mouth lifted into a faint, amused smile. “Even this sick, you’re still subconsciously trying to seduce me?” Jamie flushed a deep red, coughing in a mix of embarrassment and frustration, but no words came to her defense. “I’m joking,” Ben said casually, his tone completely unaffected, as if his teasing was just an afterthought. He grabbed a chair and sat by the bedside. Jamie, recovering from her coughing fit, quickly changed the subject. “Why does it feel like I’m so much worse this time? What’s wrong with me?” Ben answered calmly, “The test results aren’t back yet.” She nodded slightly, choosing not to press further. Clearing her throat, she felt a sudden thirst rise but hesitated to ask for help. Before she could act, Ben handed her a glass of warm water without a word. The simple gesture sent a fleeting warmth through her chest, one that she quickly suppressed. She couldn’t l

“What?” Ben’s expression darkened immediately, his usual icy composure shattered by an undeniable panic. Jamie adored Charlie. If she learned of this, who knew how much more pain she would have to endure? Winnie watched his expression shift, and the cold in her heart deepened. Her voice turned shrill and hysterical. “Ben, I’m your fiancée! You have no real connection to that child, so why are you so worried about Charlie?” Ben’s tone dropped into something dark and dangerous, each word grinding out from between clenched teeth. “He’s just a child. How could you even think of hurting him?” Winnie flinched, stepping back at the fire in his eyes. But then she straightened her back, her voice sharp with defiance. “Innocent? What about me? I’m the one who’s truly innocent! I lost my child, I lost you, and I’ve even lost the ability to be a mother. All because of you and Jamie!” “Get a grip, Winnie!” Ben stepped forward, reaching for her arm, but she jerked away violen

Taking a deep breath, Winnie issued her final threat. “Well then, sorry to say, but I’ll be taking Charlie. Neither you nor Jamie will ever see him again in this lifetime.” With that, she turned and made her way toward her car. What she didn’t expect was for Ben to have stealthily approached. Suddenly, he grabbed her, restraining her movements. Ben’s gaze was icy and dangerously sharp. “This time, you’re not going anywhere. Charlie stays, and you know exactly what kind of crime kidnapping a child is.” Winnie bit her lip hard, trembling as she held back her emotions. “Are you really going to send me to prison?” “That’s my specialty,” Ben replied, his tone unwavering. “But if you hand over Charlie, I might consider defending you in court.” Winnie let out a bitter laugh, lowering her head. “You really are heartless. But I’m not saying a word.” Just then, the distant roar of an engine broke the tense silence. They turned to see a black car barreling toward them, kic

The car sped away into the distance. The masked man slammed the door shut, his temper flaring as he glanced into the rearview mirror at Winnie. “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?” Winnie remained silent. “If it didn’t work, we’d both be done for,” he snapped, his tone edged with frustration. Her voice was calm, almost detached. “He’s my nephew, and his health isn’t good. Dragging him into a life on the run would do more harm than good.” The man let out a bitter laugh. “So what now? You really plan on living like this forever?” “Do you have some miraculous plan to turn this all around? I’ve already burned every bridge with him,” Winnie said, her tone laced with bitterness.Yet, as she spoke, a faint glimmer of hope ignited within her, sparked by the man's words.The masked man remained silent, his expression unreadable.“Let’s just take it one step at a time,” he finally muttered.Winnie nodded, but a sharp pain shot through her abdomen, forcing her to clutch he

It was obvious that Jamie had something to say.Without hesitation, Ben instructed the nanny to take Charlie outside to play, then turned back into the room.“Just say whatever’s on your mind.”“This time, you helped me bring the child back, and I owe you for that. But I can’t stay here for long. Now that the child is back, it’s time for me to leave,” Jamie said.Ben raised an eyebrow. “You’re cutting ties so quickly after getting what you needed?”“I just don’t want to trouble you any further,” Jamie replied, coughing lightly to mask her discomfort.“Fine.” Ben’s voice was icy as he threw out the single word before turning and walking away.Jamie hadn’t expected him to agree so readily and stood there stunned for a moment. But this was probably for the best. Dragging things out would only complicate matters.She had wanted to ask about Winnie’s condition but didn’t feel comfortable calling him back. She decided to wait until the afternoon before leaving to ask.Outside, Ben s

Mrs. Lucas came by.Jamie hadn’t expected her visit, and judging by Mrs. Lucas's expression, she wasn’t thrilled to be there either.Years ago, Mrs. Lucas had stood in the way of Ben and Jamie’s relationship. She had believed that by providing Ben with a fresh start under a new name, he would rise to greater heights, free from the ties that bound him. But after everything that had happened, she had come to a realization.Ben could never let Jamie go. And Jamie, despite all these years of hardship, had never betrayed Ben. In fact, she had selflessly raised Ben’s only son, Charlie, without complaint. Even though the one million dollars that Mrs. Lucas had given Jamie to leave, had long since resolved her family’s financial troubles, Jamie had never come back asking for more. She had stood her ground and upheld her promise.Jamie was remarkable.Mrs. Lucas found herself begrudgingly admiring Jamie. But Jamie spoke first, cutting to the chase. “There’s no need for you to persuade me

Jamie did love Ben. In this lifetime, she had dreamed of being with him. But life had taught her to face reality first.She couldn’t be with Ben again.Shaking her head, she said, “I won’t get back together with Ben. Mrs. Lucas, thank you for no longer standing in our way. But Ben and I have been apart for four years now. I’m not the same Jamie I used to be. Let him keep the version of me he remembers.”It didn’t matter if Ben hated her. Over time, that hatred would fade, and with it, so would his obsession.“Why?” Mrs. Lucas pressed. “Do you want Ben to keep hating you? Don’t you want Charlie to have a complete family? Or is it because of Winnie? Are you trying to give Ben to her?”Her words hit like a knife. Jamie had considered that possibility, but she knew it was unrealistic.She shook her head. “Neither Winnie nor Ben would accept that. I just think that we’ve been apart for too long.”“But he’s never forgotten you,” Mrs. Lucas said firmly. “This is all my fault. If you’re

Ben found it hard to describe his current emotions.It felt as though something was violently pulling at him, threatening to tear him apart. The familiar scent lingering on Jamie overwhelmed his senses, sending his head spinning. Eventually, he blacked out.Mrs. Lucas panicked. “Ben!” she screamed desperately, but he didn’t wake up.Jamie reacted quickly. “Mrs. Lucas, call Caleb. Ask him to come and check on Ben.”Taking Ben to the hospital would inevitably lead to media coverage. Worse, his enemies might seize this opportunity to strike. Having Caleb come over was the safest option.“Right, I’ll call Caleb now,” Mrs. Lucas said hurriedly, snapping out of her panic.Caleb, upon hearing that Ben had coughed up blood and collapsed, grabbed his medical kit and rushed over immediately.The diagnosis was clear. Ben had been overcome by extreme anger and stress. For a man like Ben, with his wealth and career, the root of this emotional upheaval could only be Jamie.Caleb turned t

But instead of feeling touched, Vera’s first reaction was nausea. A wave of discomfort surged up from her stomach, and Vera’s face paled. She bolted for the bathroom. Caleb followed quickly. “Are you feeling sick?” “I don’t think so. I’ve been eating normally—nothing too heavy or weird lately.” Vera clutched her stomach, just as confused as he was. Then, a possibility flashed through her mind. Caleb clearly had the same thought. Without a word, he turned and walked into their bedroom, returning moments later with a pregnancy test. Vera looked at him, stunned. “When did you buy that?” He responded matter-of-factly, “Better safe than sorry.” Vera was momentarily speechless. Five minutes later, she stepped out of the bathroom, her hand instinctively resting on her stomach, her expression a mix of shock and disbelief. It was positive. They had only been married for three months. How did this happen so fast?Caleb, on the other hand, remained composed—at le

Of course, Vera wasn’t about to dump all her responsibilities on her assistant. That would be exploitation. She called her assistant into her office. “You’re twenty-five this year, right?” Her assistant blinked, confused. Wasn’t her age common knowledge? Why was Vera suddenly bringing it up? A thought struck her. Was this an arranged marriage situation? Her face immediately filled with silent refusal. “Miss Vera, I’m still young. I’m not thinking about marriage anytime soon.” Vera tapped her pen against the desk. “I’m not telling you to get married.” “Oh.” “I just want to offload some of the smaller daily tasks to you. You don’t have to run every minor document by me.”Her assistant instantly understood. A raise. After confirming she was on board, Vera gave her a salary bump and had her hire a few more assistants to distribute the workload. “If I don’t have time to handle everything, you guys will take care of it. If something’s too complicated, jus

Vera could sense danger the moment the conversation turned in this direction. Her father had never questioned her about married life, and she was lucky enough to avoid nosy relatives. But just because she hadn’t experienced it firsthand didn’t mean she hadn’t seen it happen to others. Without hesitation, she abandoned the half-folded pastry in her hands. “I... uh, need to use the restroom.” Before she could escape, Mrs. Smith caught her wrist. “You and Caleb aren’t getting any younger,” she said matter-of-factly. “You should start thinking about kids—make sure you’re putting in the effort, hmm?” Vera left the kitchen visibly drained. Mrs. Smith was a wonderful mother-in-law, the kind who treated Vera like her own daughter. Despite knowing Vera came from a well-off family, she had still gifted them a house as a wedding present. Of course, Caleb already owned a place, but his mother had insisted. “That’s your house. This is the home I’m giving you as a weddi

That undeniable possessiveness flickered in Caleb’s gaze—subtle yet impossible to ignore. It was the kind of look a powerful man might give his beloved in an old Hollywood film. And right now, the photographer felt like the unlucky bystander who had accidentally stumbled upon an intimate scene. His voice wavered slightly, caught up in his own imagination. “Mr. Smith, lift your eyes toward the camera.” Caleb’s sharp gaze flickered over, intense and commanding. The photographer instinctively pressed the shutter. They continued with several more poses, reviewing the shots as they went. Vera loved them all, but her favorite was still the vintage-inspired one. “How long until we get the final prints?” she asked. “Two to three days at most,” the photographer replied. “I’ll have them shipped directly to you.” Then, after a slight pause, he hesitated before making a request. “I actually have a personal favor to ask—would you both be open to letting us displa

Vera was tempted. They had already taken plenty of wedding photos—several sets at the island, more at the wedding itself. But this wasn’t just any photo studio. It was privately booked and known for being one of the most prestigious studios in the city. Appointments here were nearly impossible to get. The fact that Caleb had managed to secure a session meant he had gone to great lengths to make it happen. If they were just going to take ordinary wedding pictures, it would be a waste of an opportunity. Still, she wasn’t sure what kind of shoot she wanted. The photographer, understanding her hesitation, pulled out a sample album. “You can take a look at our past work. These are some of the styles we’ve done.” Flipping through the pages, Vera saw an array of stunning concepts—each picture more breathtaking than the last. Then, one particular set caught her eye. A Golden Age Hollywood theme.It was classic, nostalgic, and beautifully atmospheric. “Ca

After the wedding, Vera considered taking some time off for a honeymoon. But the thought quickly faded when she realized Caleb had been practically living at the hospital. With a sigh, she dismissed the idea. She was used to it, but to say she wasn’t disappointed would be a lie. Her assistant picked up on it. “Mrs. Smith, don’t you want to go on a honeymoon?” she asked one day. “One of my friends just got married, and she’s been obsessively researching destinations. “She even said a marriage without a honeymoon is already half a failure.” Vera froze mid-page, suddenly losing interest in the documents she had been reviewing. Her assistant hesitated, then offered a suggestion. “Why don’t you go visit Dr. Smith at work?“You seem… distracted. Maybe seeing him will help.” Vera snapped out of her daze, suddenly aware of how preoccupied she had been lately. It was embarrassing to admit, but she had been zoning out far too often—especially after coming hom

Whenever they did this in the past, Caleb always maintained some restraint. But tonight—he didn’t hold back at all. He took her from the bedroom to the bathroom, then back to the bed, his searing kisses trailing every inch of her skin. The next morning, even as she woke up, Vera could still feel the lingering traces of last night’s intoxicating pleasure. As expected, she ended up taking the day off. It wasn’t until two days later that she finally returned to work. *Everyone at the company had already prepared for this. The moment Vera walked into the office, she was greeted with knowing smiles and teasing remarks. “Congratulations, Mrs. Smith!” “Newlywed bliss, huh?” “Three whole days off? Someone had a good time.” It didn’t take a genius to figure out what she had been up to. Obviously, her married life was going exceptionally well—so well that she had completely abandoned work for it. Under the weight of their mischievous stares, Vera barely k

Yelena still hadn’t accepted Hunter, but he wasn’t giving up either and was relentlessly closing in on her. Knowing Yelena’s soft heart, Vera figured it was only a matter of time before she gave in. She let out a sigh. Her friend’s love life wasn’t something she could interfere with. Besides, Caleb had already given her a little inside scoop. “She came to the hospital for a follow-up a few days ago,” he had mentioned casually. “Hunter was the one who brought her.” Vera had clicked her tongue at the news. Yelena always seemed quiet and reserved, but apparently, she was full of surprises.*Time flew by in the blink of an eye.By mid-month, Caleb had rented out an entire vineyard and spent several days transforming it into the perfect wedding venue.When the day arrived, the celebration took place right there.The vineyard was sprawling and elegant, every bit as grand as any luxury hotel—if not better.

“Did you plan this from the start?” Vera narrowed her eyes, feeling like she had just walked into a carefully laid trap. “Mm.” Caleb smiled, then leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. Because yes—he had always been planning this. The biggest change in Vera’s life after the island proposal was the ring now sitting on her finger. It wasn’t just any ring. It was custom-made, something Caleb had specially ordered. She only found out by accident when she glanced at his phone one day and saw the purchase record. It had been ordered two months ago. Vera did the math and was stunned. He had been preparing for this long before she even started getting impatient. Her heart swelled with emotion. And as soon as Caleb’s parents heard that their son had finally proposed, they wasted no time pushing them to get the marriage license. *One day, Vera overheard Caleb’s mother lecturing him. “Your dad and I weren’t expecting much from you.
