Marietta's POVEIGHT MONTHS LATERNine months of pain, discomfort, and struggle had led to this moment."The baby is here! One last push!" the nurse urged, her voice laced with encouragement.Drenched in sweat, I mustered every last ounce of strength. A piercing scream escaped my lips as I made the final push. Then—relief. My body slackened as exhaustion consumed me, and tears welled in my eyes.I barely registered the tiny cries echoing in the room. The baby had come early. I had been terrified I wouldn't survive this—my first childbirth, all alone in a foreign place.The nurse cradled my baby in her arms. "A healthy little girl," she murmured with a smile.With the last bit of energy I had left, I lifted my weak gaze toward the small bundle. My child. My family."Finally…" I whispered, tears rolling down my cheeks. "I have a family in this world."Then, darkness consumed me.A knock at the door pulled me from unconsciousness. My eyelids fluttered open to see a nurse standing beside

Michael’s POV“Do some artificial respiration. She’s still breathing,” Bella yelled.I wasted no time in adhering to what she had suggested.“Did you say anything to her? I think I asked Clara to always be with her every time?” I said, breathing some air into her.I cannot lose her too. I’ve already lost a daughter.“C’mon, Marietta,” “You cannot die now, please!” I shouted.I was about to order them to get a nurse, when Etta finally breathed out.I felt a bit weak, as my legs cringed beneath me. For a second I thought I’d lost her.My heart raced faster, knowing the kind of history we both had in the past.If this happens, then the world will never look at me the same again. It’s enough for them to think we killed our daughter. I cannot have the reporters put us out there again.Laying her on the bed, and adjusting the air conditoner, I turned towards Bella.“What happened?”“She said she wanted to come pick something up at your side,” Bella rolled her eyes.Even though I’ve been

Marietta’s POV I had woken up muttering my daughter's name. I squeezed the bed with my eyes still shut. “Valerie!” I lashed before opening my eyes. My whole body trembled at the sight of the Greek god lying beside me. How can a man who sleeps with women for money be this flawless?His eyes, his cute little nose–Fuck! I don't want to do this. We are done. And I don't want to see him again. It's time to get back at those who haunted me and my daughter. Love? It's already been deleted from my dictionary. Looking behind me, I noticed the wall clock was just ticking after six in the morning. I can't afford to be seen like this. I'm a public figure and I really need to keep my decency. Just then, it dawned on me that my daughter was dead. The decency thing has ended. So I don't give two fucks about what anyone says. They will always talk. And they can go fuck themselves. Everyone had pretended not to know a thing. Just because Michael paid them off. I'm human too. Being an ac

Michael’s POVI had carefully sat across my reading table, watching Katty getting wedded to Elsie. She succeeded in ruining my life, and now she thinks she could get a good one? Especially with the sterling, it wasn’t going to happen.“Until I put you all under my feet!” I clenched my fist in anger, staring at the screen vividly. Waiting patiently for the assassin whom I had paid to kill both of them.Just then, a knock landed on the door. Standing at the entrance was Donovan.“Is he in already?” I questioned. Since it was Jackson who was getting married today, I was sure the security would be tight, and that is why I had sent my assassin to go a day before the wedding.“Yes, boss.”“Good.” And as we sat down to watch what was about to happen, a smile trailed off my lips.“Do you, Katty, accept this man as your husband? To love and to cherish? In sickness or in health? Till death do you part?” The priest questioned, and I smiled mockingly. Knowing fully well that this was going to
Marietta’s POVI scoffed in disbelief because this was starting to look like an emotional blackmail, especially with the reporters being around.“What are you doing?” I gasped in shock.Should love be a do-or-die thing? Why must he go to the extent of pulling this kind of string?I was running from Aiden, my one-night stand and now I’m in front of my delusional ex-husband who has suddenly gone mad after killing our daughter because of his reckless attitude.“Hae you gone mad?!”“Yes,” he said, pulling the trigger, and raising a finger to stop his guards from interfering.“I’ve gone made because of you!” He lashed out. “And I need us to talk about this.” He heaved a sigh with the gun still placed on his head.“Please!” He shouted. “Just you and me.”“I have nothing to say to you, Michael.” I yanked his hand off me. “Clara let’s go,”“If you step a foot into this car, I’m going to pull this trigger.” He threatened.Taking off my glasses, I stared at him, my eyes devoid of emotions. “I’
