Chapter 16: Reese's Threat

Reese left Chelsea’s hospital room with a sense of purpose she hadn’t felt in a long time. She had every intention of finding Valerie and having a serious word with her. As she walked through the quiet hospital corridors, she mentally prepared herself for the confrontation. Valerie had crossed a line, and Reese wasn’t about to let her get away with it.

It didn’t take long to find Valerie. She was sitting at a small coffee shop just outside the hospital, scrolling through her phone, looking completely unbothered by the chaos she had caused. Reese watched her for a moment, incredulous at how composed she seemed. Taking a deep breath, Reese approached her.

“Valerie,” Reese said, her voice cool but steady.

Valerie looked up, surprised. “Reese! What are you doing here?”

“I think you know exactly why I’m here,” Reese replied, crossing her arms as she stood in front of Valerie. “We need to talk. Now.”

Valerie raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence. “Oh? About what?”

    Chapter 17: The Cost of BetrayalLiam stood in the dimly lit room, his mind still replaying the conversation with Charles Weston. The threat was real, and though he wasn’t one to be intimidated easily, something about the way Charles had spoken sent a chill down his spine. It wasn’t just the words; it was the tone, the subtle promise of revenge.Aria’s father had made it clear that he would do whatever it took to make Liam pay for holding his daughter accountable. But Liam wasn’t backing down. Not now. Not ever.His phone buzzed, cutting through his thoughts. It was a message from Reese, reminding him of a meeting that was fast approaching. He didn’t have time to dwell on the conversation with Charles any longer; there were bigger issues at hand. But he knew, deep down, that this was far from over.---An hour later, Liam arrived at the meeting venue. The room was packed with people from all corners of the business world, each eager to make deals and discuss new ventures. But his focu

    Chapter 18: The Reckoning BeginsLiam’s grip tightened around his phone as he ended the call with Reese. She had given him the latest on Aria’s father, Charles Weston, who had intensified his threats. It was clear Charles wasn't bluffing, and he was prepared to go to any length to punish Liam for holding Aria. This wasn’t just business anymore; it was personal.Leaning back in his office chair, Liam felt the weight of the situation pressing down on him. He had known that dealing with the Westons would bring complications, but he hadn’t anticipated it would reach this level. Aria's reckless actions were now spiraling into a full-blown war between families and companies. But Liam was determined—he wouldn’t let Charles Weston control his life, and he certainly wouldn’t let anyone endanger Chelsea again.---The next morning, Chelsea sat up in her hospital bed, slightly wincing as the faint ache in her head reminded her of the fall. Reese was seated beside her, flipping through a magazine

    Chapter 19: Under SiegeLiam paced in his office, his jaw clenched as he replayed the words of Charles Weston over and over in his head. The man had called with an ultimatum, his voice cold and dripping with venom. “Let my daughter go, Liam, or I’ll make sure your mother and grandmother suffer the consequences.”The threat hit its mark. As much as Liam loathed the idea of bowing to Charles’s demands, he knew he couldn’t risk his family’s safety. Charles was a man of influence and ruthlessness, capable of anything. Liam slammed his fist on the desk in frustration, anger simmering beneath his calm exterior.Just then, Reese walked into the room, her usual confident expression tempered by concern. She’d heard parts of the conversation and understood the position Liam was in.“What are you going to do?” she asked softly, placing a steadying hand on his shoulder.Liam let out a weary sigh. “I don’t have a choice. I have to let Aria go.”Reese nodded, understanding the weight of his decisio

As he sat in his office the following day, he replayed the threats from her father, Charles Weston, over and over in his mind. The man was clearly not one to make empty promises. Liam knew he had to be ready for anything Charles might throw his way, especially after having had to give in to his demand to protect his family.The knock on the door broke his thoughts. “Come in,” he called.Reese stepped inside, her expression serious. “We need to talk,” she said, closing the door behind her.Liam motioned for her to sit. “Is it about Chelsea?”Reese nodded, folding her hands on her lap. “She’s still at the hospital, but the doctors say she’ll be well enough to leave soon. She’s shaken up, but her spirits are high. She’s looking forward to starting her role here.” Reese paused, her eyes narrowing slightly. “But, Liam, we both know this is only going to put her in more danger.”Liam

Her injuries had mostly healed, and the doctor had cleared her to go home. Despite the pain and chaos of recent events, Chelsea felt a newfound strength. She was determined to move forward, leaving the ordeal with Aria behind her.Just then, there was a soft knock on the door, and Reese walked in, her smile warm and welcoming. “Hey, ready to go home?”Chelsea grinned, standing up slowly. “More than ready! Thank you for coming, Reese. I really appreciate everything you’ve done.”“You’re family now,” Reese replied, hugging her. “Besides, Liam wanted to be here too. He’s waiting downstairs.”They made their way to the hospital exit together, Chelsea holding onto Reese’s arm for support. Downstairs, Liam was pacing, his face lighting up when he saw them approach.“Chelsea,” he said, stepping forward. His tone was gentle,

    Chapter 22: Stirring Pots and Stirring HeartsDays had passed since the incident Aria caused , and life in the company moved forward. Today, the company’s newest addition, Chelsea, was set to begin her duties as the company chef. Though she wasn’t one to fuss, Chelsea felt a twinge of excitement as she arrived at the kitchen assigned to her—a private space that gave her control over her own workspace, away from the constant hum of the main kitchen.As she entered, she was met by the head chef, a sharp-eyed man with years of experience etched into his lined face. He looked her up and down, then gave her a nod of approval. "Chelsea, right? I’ll be honest with you—we don’t usually get new hires straight into private kitchens. You’ll be responsible for meals for the board and, most importantly, the boss himself, Mr. Liam."Chelsea gave him a respectful nod. “Understood, sir. I’ll do my best.”He gestured to the gleaming counters and well-stocked shelves. “Good. Everything you need is here

    Chapter 23: A peaceful dinner As Charles and his man left, Liam remained frozen, clutching the paper in his hand. His thoughts were chaotic, oscillating between disbelief and a strange, gnawing fear. Aria was the past—this was something he had convinced himself of long ago. But now, with her possible pregnancy looming over him, the lines between past and present blurred.The paper in his hand felt heavy, like it held all his unresolved regrets and mistakes. A part of him wanted to tear it apart, to deny this new reality, but he knew that he couldn't ignore it.Returning to the company, Liam felt the weight of the news pressing on him. The usual rhythm of the day seemed muted. His mind wandered back to Chelsea, and the way she had looked at him earlier, so full of life and hope.

    Chapter 24:The meet upThe next morning dawned with a crispness in the air that mirrored the tight coil of anxiety in Liam’s stomach. Today, he would face Aria—a confrontation that had been long overdue. He hadn’t slept well, the mix of Charles’s warning and his dinner with Chelsea weighing on his mind. Last night had been a rare respite, a few hours of ease and laughter, but it only made today’s impending tension feel heavier.As he arrived at the café where he and Aria had agreed to meet, he felt a familiar sense of control slide into place. He was Liam, a man who handled challenges head-on. Yet, a part of him wondered if even he was fully prepared for what Aria might throw at him.He spotted her instantly; Aria had a presence that drew eyes. Dressed impeccably in a sharp burgundy blouse and tailored pants, she looked every bit the part of a woman who knew how to wield power. She glanced up as he approached, an enigmatic smile curving her lips as she leaned back in her chair.“Liam,

Reese, who had been staring at her computer screen in deep thought, glanced up and reached for the documents.“I did a deep search for the name Gerald Hudson,” Kim began. “But I found nothing. No records, no background, nothing that could link him to any existing family. The only thing that came close was a Hudson family that used to live in France.”Reese frowned as she skimmed through the documents. “Hudson family?”Kim nodded. “Yeah, but their only son supposedly died in a car accident twenty years ago.”Reese’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately dropped the papers and looked at Kim with a sharp intensity. “The Hudsons… I know that family. They were friends with my parents.”Kim blinked in surprise. “You do?”“Yes,” Reese said firmly. “I even knew their son—the one who supposedly died. His name was Jeremy. Except… if this Gerald Hudson is linked to them,

    Chapter 68: Getting Fed UpAria lay in her hospital bed, her fingers clutching the blanket in frustration. The walls of the hospital room felt suffocating, and she was sick of lying here, feeling weak and helpless. Her father, Charles, sat beside her, his face full of concern.“Aria,” he said gently, “you just lost a child. You shouldn’t be stressing yourself over anything right now. You need to rest.”Aria’s eyes burned with anger. “I don’t have time to rest, Dad. If I don’t act fast, Chelsea will take Liam away from me, and I can’t let that happen.”Charles sighed. “Liam is still around, isn’t he? He’s been checking up on you.”She scoffed. “That means nothing. He’s only here out of obligation, not love. I need to make sure I have him in my hold. I need to remind him why he belongs with me.”Charles frowned. “Aria, listen to me. You need to recover first. Rushing into anything will only make things worse.”“I don’t care,” she snapped. “I won’t sit back and let that girl take what’s

The delicious aroma of eggs and toast filled the air.“Morning,” Chelsea greeted, raising an eyebrow. “You’re up early.”Reese flashed her a small smile. “I thought I’d make breakfast before we both head out. Figured we could use a good meal before the day starts.”Chelsea chuckled and took a seat at the counter. “That’s sweet. I could get used to this.”Reese poured her a glass of juice before sitting down across from her. “Actually, I’ve been thinking about something… and I’d love to talk to you about it.”Chelsea raised an eyebrow. “I’m all ears.

The muffled whispers, the urgency in his mother’s tone didn't sit right with him. Something was off, and his gut told him it was something big. He stormed out of his room, heading straight for his mother’s study.When he pushed the door open, his mother flinched, caught off guard. She quickly put her phone down and tried to compose herself, but Adams wasn’t buying it.“Who were you talking to?” he demanded, his voice cold and sharp.His mother hesitated, her eyes darting around as if searching for an excuse. “Just a business associate,” she said lightly. “It’s nothing for you to worry about.”Adams narrowed his eyes, his temper bubbling to the surface. “Don’t lie to me, Mother. I heard your conversation. You were talking about me. Now tell me what the hell is going on?”Her face paled, and she stammered, “Adams, you’re overreacting. It’s nothing serious. I w

His voice was calm, but there was an edge to it that set her on edge.The car moved smoothly onto the road, the tension inside palpable. Chelsea’s phone buzzed in her hand, breaking the silence. She glanced at the screen—Reese.“Hello?” she answered.“Where are you?” Reese’s voice was sharp with concern.“I’m with Liam,” Chelsea replied, her gaze flicking toward him nervously.“Alright,” Reese said after a pause. “Call me when you’re done, okay?”Chelsea agreed and ended the call, slipping her phone back into her bag.

    Chapter 64: Failed planAria’s heart pounded as she sat in her hospital bed, her face pale but determined. The plan had gone wrong—terribly wrong. She hadn’t intended to lose the baby, only to garner Liam’s sympathy and drive him further from Chelsea. Now, her rage burned through her veins as she clutched her phone tightly, waiting for Valerie to pick up.“Hello?” Valerie’s voice came through, cautious but sharp.“Get the doctor in here. Now,” Aria demanded, her tone venomous.“Aria, calm down—”“Don’t tell me to calm down!” she snapped. “This wasn’t supposed to happen! I told you we needed to be careful.”Minutes later, Valerie appeared in her hospital room, followed by the doctor. Aria glared at both of them. “Liam’s going to come here soon. You’re going to tell him I’m in critical condition. Make it believable, or so help me—”The doctor nodded nervously. “I’ll do as you say. But we need to keep the story straight.”Aria took a deep breath. “Fine. But let me make this clear— f Liam

    Chapter 63: Heavy with tension The room was heavy with tension as Aria sat in her hospital bed, sipping water through a straw. Her features were calm, but her mind raced. She knew the doctor would do as he was told; the fear in his eyes had confirmed that. Still, loose ends worried her, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that someone might betray her.Valerie entered the room, closing the door softly behind her. She looked flustered, her usual confidence slightly shaken."Aria, we need to talk," Valerie said, her voice low."What is it?" Aria asked, narrowing her eyes.Valerie hesitated, glancing at the door as if to ensure they were alone. "Someone called me earlier. They know about the plan."Aria’s grip on the water glass tightened. "Who? What did they say?""They didn’t give a name, but they made it clear they know about the fall, the lies—everything," Valerie said, pacing the room. "They said secrets like ours don

    Chapter 62: Her deceitful actThe morning sunlight filtered through the massive windows of the luxurious estate as Aria descended the grand staircase. Dressed in a flowing robe, her hand grazed the polished railing as her heels clicked against the marble steps. From the corner of her eye, she saw Valerie standing at the bottom of the stairs, nodding subtly as though everything was in place.Aria’s heart raced—not from fear, but from anticipation. She had rehearsed this moment countless times with Valerie and her trusted doctor. It was a calculated risk, but one she deemed necessary to manipulate Liam further. She didn’t plan for anything extreme, certainly not losing the baby, but she needed to create the perfect storm.Her foot hovered over the next step, her ankle turning deliberately, and before she could catch herself, she plummeted downward. The sound of her body hitting the steps echoed through the house, followed by a sharp cry that seemed to pierce

Adams sat in a leather armchair in his bedroom, his mother perched gracefully on the edge of the bed. She wore an elegant silk robe, her demeanor as poised and calculated as ever."Adams, darling," she began, her voice low and conspiratorial, "we need to talk about your father’s assets."Adams leaned back, folding his arms across his chest. "Mother, we’ve discussed this before. Let’s not jump to conclusions while he’s still recovering."His mother waved a hand dismissively, her manicured nails catching the light. "Recovering or not, we both know your father isn’t as sharp as he used to be.
