My breath hitched. “Address this situation?” What did that even mean? “I’ll speak to Dr. Shawn,” he added, his tone clipped. “She will take care of you and the pregnancy.” I looked at him in bewilderment, my heart pounding so loudly it drowned out the sound of his words for a moment. But when the
MILES’ POV The deal had been a success. Another financial milestone secured, another round of applause from the boardroom filled with sharp suits and fat wallets. It was almost six in the evening, and I should’ve been celebrating, or at least feeling satisfied. Instead, I was sitting in my hote
“Alpha,” she said, her voice light with just a hint of hesitation. “What a coincidence.” “Roxy,” I said evenly, glancing at Rico, who gave her a curt nod of acknowledgment. “What are you doing here?” She offered a polite smile. “Oh, I’m staying here. I was just heading back to my room.” I blinked
RHEA’S POV I lay flat on my back on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the stark white ceiling. The room was quiet except for the occasional hum of machines, but inside me, it was very chaotic. I had cried until there were no tears left, and now all that remained was a hollow, aching emptiness.
Rose shook her head and sat down beside me, wrapping me in a warm, motherly embrace. She was like a mother to me. She used to be Luna Lisa’s right-hand woman, but Luna Lisa, trusting her enough, handed her over to me to take care of me and Miles. “No, Luna. You did nothing wrong. The only mistake
Goodbye Snowfall RHEA’S POV “Look who we have here,” Luna Lisa exclaimed, her eyes lighting up the moment she saw me. She rose gracefully from her seat and enveloped me in a warm hug. Despite my inner turmoil, I managed to plaster a smile on my face as she pulled me into her embrace. “How
“I mean he will come back,” I said with a shrug, though my voice lacked conviction. “But Pa, Ma… I didn’t just come to tell you about the baby. I’ve also come to tell you that we’re getting a divorce. I’ve already left the mansion.” They both stared at me, their eyes wide with shock. I could see th
The Plan A Week Later... ROXY’S POV Miles will finally be mine. Soon. Very soon. I smiled to myself as I sat by the hospital bed, watching Miles lie unconscious, his chest rising and falling steadily. He looked peaceful, almost angelic, despite the bandages on his head. Soon, when he opened t
The audacity of this bastard. “I heard you were around,” he added, looking as smug as ever. I didn’t bother with pleasantries. “What the fuck did you do, Zane? We had a fucking deal!” I snapped, fists clenched. Zane had the nerve to lower his head slightly, as if he actually felt guilty. But it
Lies, Deals, and Deception YURI’S POV I paced the length of Zane’s living room, my heart hammering against my ribs. I had been calling Rhea since last night, and she had refused to answer even once. It was driving me insane. Everything about this situation was driving me crazy. Miles. Why the
The Lies That Kept Us Apart RHEA’S POV "Rhea, all of this has been one big misunderstanding," Miles said, stepping closer, his hand reaching out like he wanted to touch me. Instinctively, I stepped back. “It kept us apart for seven whole years.” I shook my head, snapping out of the shock that had
“Don’t fucking play that card on me, Rhea,” he warned, his eyes shining with malice. “Play what card, Mondragon? The truth?!” I shot back. “No, let’s talk. Let’s talk about what you would have done if I had actually terminated the pregnancy like you wanted me to.” Confusion quickly replaced his fi
Closer to the Truth RHEA’S POV I groaned as consciousness began to seep back into me, dragging along a pounding headache that felt like a hammer against my skull. My hand flew to my forehead, trying to massage the ache away, but it did little to help. This was from all that drink I had consumed la
As the music began to play, I kept my eyes on her. She swallowed hard, grabbing her wine glass and downing it like her life depended on it. Her cheeks flushed a deep red, and I could see her trying desperately to keep her composure. I sang, pouring everything I felt into the words. Rhea avoided my g
The Truth in the Bag MILES’ POV Rhea swallowed hard. Her lips pressed into a thin line as if she was forcing herself to remain composed. I held her gaze, silently begging her to see the sincerity in my apology. My heart was racing, thudding so hard I was sure she could hear it. I could feel the ti
I caught myself staring and quickly pulled my gaze away, stopping my thoughts from wandering further. I had checked out his fingers several times and didn’t find a ring. It made me wonder why he never wore one. Back when we were married, even at the height of his disdain for me, he had worn our wedd
Work Dinner 2 RHEA’S POV My smile vanished as quickly as it had appeared, and I froze in place, my blood boiling. Was this some kind of betrayal from my colleagues? What on earth was Miles Mondragon doing here, sitting among medical personnel at our work dinner? I was certain Yuri had mentioned he
