The air was thick with unasked questions and concern.âBaby sister?â Salina asked, looking between David and Liam, confused. Liam took off his mask and said, âWeâre twins, Salina.ââTwins?â Salinaâs eyes widened in shock as she stared at Liam, trying to process the revelation. She touched Liamâs hair gently, as if trying to confirm he was real.âYouâŚâ she whispered, staring at him in disbelief.

âLet's meet her,â Ivan said, taking my hand in his warm grasp and giving it a gentle squeeze.

I wasnât sure if weâd met before when I had my memory.A girl with dirty blond hair was eating a forkful of pasta, her eyes closing in satisfaction. A helper stood behind her, and the table was filled with food. Sensing our presence, she opened her eyes, her cheeks flushing red. âSorry, I started before you both joined, but I was starving,â she said, sounding like a child.Ivan chuckled and added, âIâm happy youâre enjoying the food. Thatâs a rare side of you.ââIâm not that choosy,â she pouted, her eyes meeting mine.âAmber,â she said with a smile, revealing a small dimple on her right cheek, a small button nose, and glowing fair skin. Her eyes were brown, unlike the blue eyes often seen in Russians. I felt someone nudge my elbow and looked up to see Ivanâs concerned eyes
Past....Liam sat outside the ICU in the dead of night, his eyes tightly shut. Ten agonizing hours had passed since the doctors disappeared behind those doors, and the constant hustle of nurses carrying blood bags and medical gear only heightened his sense of helplessness. Normally unfazed by blood, Liam's demeanor tonight betrayed a deep-seated fearâthe prospect of losing his only family, Amber and their unborn child.Nick, observing his idol, sensed the impending storm beneath Liam's usually calm exterior. He had already deduced who was responsible for the attack.Liam's eyes snapped open as the ICU door creaked open, and Dr. Williston emerged, his sigh of relief audible as he removed his cap. âDavid, she's stable,â the doctor announced, trying to reassure Liam.âWhat about the baby?â Liam's voice trembled with anxiety, his heart pounding at the thought of losing another loved one.âThe baby is fine,â Dr. Williston confirmed, though the worry etched on his face betrayed the severity
Present âBaby, why are there so many marks?â He questioned me while tracing my arms that was covered with red marks. I took a deep breath before closing my eyes. I could feel his gaze fixed on me. I did not want to meet his inquisitive gaze. What would I tell him, About the betrayal I had committed in the past, which I had completely forgotten? âBabyâŚ" His voice was gentle as a feather, and he cupped my face, but I lacked the courage to look into his eyes. My eyes were closed, and tears flowed. I felt him kiss my tears before pressing his lips against mine. I allowed him to do whatever he wanted. He was savoring the moment and taking his time kissing me; we both needed one another. I could not stop myself from kissing him back and stroking his silk hair. He picked me up, and I wrapped my leg around his torso as we sucked on each other's mouths. I could feel him adjusting me to the cabinet as his hand began massaging my boobs. I inhaled deeply as I moaned into his mouth, his index f
Past..âAmberâŚâ Liam gasped, catching her collapsing body in his arms. His fingers brushed against something wet on her backâblood.âShitâŚâ he cursed, rolling them both toward the wall. The gunshot echoed in his mind. Someone had fired at them, and Amber was hit.âAhhhâŚâ Amber's cry pierced through the chaos, her agony raw and unfiltered.âDon't close your eyes,â Liam urged, his voice trembling with desperation. He helped her to sit on the floor, his eyes darting to the open window, knowing another shot could come at any moment. He needed his phone and laptop to call Nick, to get them to the hospital.âJust stay here,â he whispered, his heart pounding as he began to crawl toward the table. As he reached for his phone, another gunshot rang out, forcing him to dodge. The bullet whizzed past, embedding itself in the wall.âFucker, how did anyone find our location?â he spat, fear and anger coursing through him.âLiamâŚâ Amber's breathing was rapid and shallow. Blood continued to pour from
âWhat exactly are you doing here?â I inquired, my expression serious as I stared at Salina's broad smile.âStop with the death glares,â she said, tucking her hair behind her ears and striding into my study, her heels clicking against the floor.âWho told you I was here?â I asked, closing the file I had been reading.âI didn't come here to see you,â Salina replied, taking a seat and placing her handbag on the table.âThen who?â I probed, fixing my gaze on her. During her time in Russia, she often spent time with us, occasionally meeting with David and me. She was the only person in the world who knew about our existence.âAmberâŚâ she smirked. âMy sister-in-law.ââDon't get involved,â I cautioned. It wasn't that she posed a threat, but Salina's bubbly personality could be overwhelming.âDon't be possessive,â Salina shot back, her tone sharp. âI was the one who donated plasma when she was pregnant with your child and lying in the hospital bed.ââSorry,â I murmured softly. I knew I could

What was her name? Amber asked Liam, âHazel,â as he struggled to remember her name. âYes,â Liam answered, adding, âShe was fleeing the golden cage.ââHow come Ethan will not let her?â Amber argued.âWhat is the
