"Cosette, aren't you going home yet?"

I blinked my eyes and turned when I heard Franklyn's voice. Mom had already gone home because she felt dizzy and needed some rest. We were at the cemetery, where we buried my child. The doctor showed us our baby, and I couldn't help but cry and feel the pain when I saw how tiny he was. If he were still alive and saved, he would have grown up, and I would have given him everything that would make him happy. But now, my child is gone, leaving me alone.

"I'll stay here for a while, Frank," I said softly while looking at my child's gravestone. We just labeled it as Baby Warren since we didn't know his gender yet.

"Are you going to sign the annulment papers with Zion?" he asked.

I blinked my eyes and faced him.

Right. I still needed to sign those.

After Yohan and I talked at the hospital about our separation, I immediately called Alice, and she took care of the annulment papers for Yohan and me. Yohan didn't talk about the annulment, but he had no choi

    Cosette’s POVI'm outside my house right now, facing my laptop while I'm working. Our company allows us to work from home sometimes, and I'm working from home today. While I'm working here outside my house, I can't help but look at the scenery because I can see the mountain I used to hike with my Swiss friends. I haven't been able to hike recently because I'm busy with my job.I paused from my work when I heard my phone ring. I couldn't help but feel excited and eager when I saw who was calling. I quickly answered it and leaned back in my chair. Ah, my angel is calling me."Mommy Cosette!" he exclaimed from the other line as I answered his call.I chuckled softly and replied, "Yes, pretty boy? I missed you! When are you coming home?""I don't know, Mommy Cosette! But Papa Franklyn said we would visit you there on the weekend," he replied from the other line.I closed my eyes and hugged myself while talking to him on the other line. "I miss you so much, Baby. I wish you were with me,"

    Cosette’s POVHerbert smiled and slightly bowed, greeting me, and I greeted him back."He's also from LA like you, so that's why I called you because I want you to assist him in his new workplace and be his tour guide for a while in the company," our Editor-in-chief, Mr. Nunes, said.I was slightly surprised and looked at Herbert again. He just smiled at me and waved slightly."Okay, Sir."Sir Nunes reminded Herbert of a few things before we left his office."Wow! I can't believe I have a fellow American colleague now, I'm happy," we both said as we left our editor-in-chief's office.Herbert smiled at me, scratching his head slightly. I could see he's shy and not much of a talker. It seems like I'll have a hard time talking to him even though we're both American. "Is that how you really are?" I asked him, raising my eyebrow.His eyes widened as if he had done something wrong to me. "H-Huh? What do you mean?" he asked, stuttering.I couldn't help but laugh. I shook my head and started

    Yohan's POV"She has panic attacks again, Zion."I stiffened, glancing at Claudia who was currently asleep in her bed. She's being checked on by her private doctor and nurses. Claudia lost control of herself earlier and almost hurt herself again, but thankfully, Aunt Lenore caught her in time and stopped her from doing anything rash. Aunt Lenore called me quickly, so I hurried over to the house where Claudia is staying."You can't just leave her alone, Zion! Don't you have any pity for her? It's been five years since she woke up from seven years in a coma, but Claudia is still suffering. She's your fiancée!"I couldn't help but bristle at what Aunt Lenore said, but I restrained myself."She was my fiancée, Aunt, not anymore. Claudia and I are no longer together; I'm just doing this out of guilt for what happened to her...because it's my fault that she's like this," I said to her.Five years ago, Claudia finally woke up from the seven-year coma. I was ecstatic at the time because she w

    Cosette’s POV"Setta, you know that the house isn't in our name anymore, right? Your ex-husband already acquired all our properties."I rubbed my temples as I spoke to Mama on the phone. When Johiel and I got home from work, I immediately called Mama because I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease about her visit, and upon learning her purpose, I couldn't help but feel troubled."Ma, you could buy new properties in Los Angeles if you really want to go back there. You could also ask for help from Gene, or maybe you could just stay with them for a while," I suggested to her.I heard her sigh on the other end of the line. "Setta, our house holds many memories of us. I can't just let that go again," Mom said on the other line.I closed my eyes."Ma! You know that it's not ours anymore, right? I thought you had moved on and wanted to stay in Finland?" I said to her."I have moved on from the pain, Cosette, but that doesn't mean I've forgotten our life together with your father. I want o

    "Cosette, babe, please put your work aside for now and come for a stroll with me," Franklyn coaxed, using his usual sweet endearment whenever he wanted something.I paused what I was doing and looked up at him. Franklyn Carrington—the one person I could truly call a genuine friend. We had been classmates in college, and at one point, he was one of my suitors. I turned him down, but instead of drifting apart, we became closer. It was an odd dynamic, but over time, our friendship deepened, bound by shared struggles and a mutual understanding of our complicated lives."Frank, don't you have work? Your dad might scold you," I reminded him.Franklyn wasn’t in charge of their company yet. He still had to prove himself, thanks to his rebellious streak during college, where he often got into trouble. But being the firstborn of the Carrington family, leadership was inevitable. No matter how many siblings he had, the company would eventually fall into his hands.He waved off my concern. "Oh, fo

    I couldn’t shake off everything I learned yesterday—my sister being forced to marry a man she doesn’t even know. Geneva had started working at our company, not because she wanted to, but because our parents insisted. I knew she wasn’t happy. Her true dream was to become a fashion designer and launch her own clothing line.We had different aspirations, but the saddest part? Neither of us could chase them. Not when our family's expectations held us captive."Why do you look even sadder than usual? Are you the one getting married?" Franklyn teased as he strolled into my office—again. At this point, it felt like a daily routine.I sighed, leaning back in my chair as I met his gaze. "I feel bad for my sister, Frank. She has no idea what’s coming. She doesn’t know what Dad has planned for her future. She’s too young for this… for a marriage that will define her entire life." My voice was heavy with frustration.Franklyn’s usual playful demeanor faded, his expression turning serious. He nodd

    The doctor who entered my room looked at me with sadness. I blinked my eyes and couldn't help but feel nervous about what the doctor would say to us now. No, please... it can't be, I can't handle this."D-Doc, i-is my baby okay?" I nervously asked while looking at him. Mom also held me tightly, refusing to let go."I'm sorry, Cosette. You lost your baby."I closed my eyes and cried loudly when the doctor told me that. Mom approached me and hugged me tightly. I winced and held my stomach. No! My baby can't be gone; I can still feel them in my womb. It can't be."No! My baby is alive! Please, doc, you can't be right! My child is alive!" I cried while clutching my stomach. Mom hugged me tightly, and I heard her crying too. After I fainted and bled, they quickly took me to the hospital, and when I woke up, I found myself in a hospital room. A doctor approached me and told me that they couldn't save my baby."M-Mommy, my baby can't be gone! He can't leave me!"Mommy was crying now, just li

    I quickly retrieved my car keys. As I exited our house, I swiftly got into my car and started it. I saw Yohan coming out of our house, and he quickly approached the window of my car, tapping on it lightly."Cosette! Come out! Let's fix this problem, please! Don't leave me!" Yohan shouted while continuing to knock on my window.I looked at him with a deep gaze, raised one hand, and showed him my middle finger. I don't give a fuck. I've run out of patience with Yohan. I love him, but I can't take it anymore. It hurts. I've listened to him and forgiven him multiple times, but he still doesn't change; he continues to deceive me.Does he love me? Then he should be honest with me."Cosette!" he shouted loudly as I accelerated my car.While driving, I called Alice, my secretary, and had her gather some documents. I'm heading to my parents' house now, carrying the letter Dad gave me before he passed away. I'll read it there, and I know I'll learn more. I sense that Yohan is hiding many more l
