THIRD PERSONS POVMia stands before the mirror for the third time that morning, looking at her reflection. She wants to make sure she looks perfect. She's dressed in a white blouse, paired with blue pants and heels. Her style has always been top notch. But today, as she looks at herself, she feels some sort of way. She sighs and steps away from the mirror, moving toward Wendy’s room. She peeks inside Wendy’s room. Her heart softens as she sees her daughter curled up under the fluffy blankets, still sleeping.. Quietly, she steps inside, closing the door behind her softlyMia leans down, brushing a stray lock of hair from Wendy’s forehead. She plants a soft kiss there. Just as she pulls back, she hears a faint whine, followed by Wendy’s small voice.“Mommy.”Mia’s heart squeezes in her chest at the sound, and she can’t help but smile down at her daughter, who’s now blinking up at her with sleepy eyes. Wendy’s small hand grips Mia’s sleeve, holding her in place as if trying to pull he

MIA'S POVI can’t believe it. I’m standing here, staring at Eli, someone I haven’t seen in years. His presence feels surreal, as if I’m caught in some kind of dream. But he’s real, right in front of me. I've missed him so much. “Get in,” I tell him, gesturing toward my car.He hesitates for just a moment before nodding and climbing in. I slide in next to him. As soon as the door closes, the driver pulls away, and I see Eli checking out the interior. "This is your car?" he asks. "Yes. Nice, right?" "It's amazing. You've done really well for yourself, Mia" "Thanks. That means a lot, Eli" I turn to the driver "Please, take us to the nearest restaurant" "Yes ma'am" he replies. I turn my attention back to Eli with a smile. It’s been years. Years since I last saw him, and now, I’m willing to cancel my entire morning just to talk to him.By the time we reach the restaurant, I’ve made up my mind. Once we’re seated, I pull out my phone and dial Lily, my PA. Eli sits across from me with

MIA'S POVI walk into the house later that evening. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much. Spending the day with Eli after so many years felt surreal. We laughed until our stomachs ached, reminiscing about college pranks, secret crushes, and late-night adventures. Seeing him again reminded me of a version of myself I hadn’t connected with in years. A lighter, freer me.I open the door and step inside. It feels good to be home.As I move through the hallway, I glance at the doors leading to the various rooms. My hand grazes the wall. Then, as I pass Alexander’s room, I stop dead in my tracks.A tall, stunning woman steps out. Herdark hair cascades in waves down her back. She’s wearing a fitted dress that barely qualifies as clothing, and her bright red heels click against the floor. Alexander is right behind her with his hand resting lightly on her lower back as he walks her to the door.I freeze, my breath hitching in my throat."Thanks for stopping by," Alexander says. She turns to hi

ALEXANDER’S POVBefore the argument with Mia, I watched her from the corner of my eye as she talks to someone on the phone. Her faces lights up with a smile that makes my chest tighten. But it’s not aimed at me. It’s for him. Her voice is soft and teasing as she speaks into her phone, and I can hear just enough to piece it together.It’s James.That bastard.My jaw clenches so tightly it’s a wonder my teeth don’t shatter. I can’t stand the way she’s laughing. The way her fingers twist a strand of hair like she’s nervous, excited. Does she actually like him? That thought burns hotter than I expect, and I find myself gripping the edge of the wall.She doesn’t even notice me. I’m standing just out of her line of sight, close enough to hear her murmur, “See you soon,” before the call ends.Her smile lingers, and it feels like a punch to my face.After I have a word with her, I leave the room feeling more annoyed than I’ve felt in ages.The doorbell rings downstairs. I go to see who it is.

MIA’S POVAnother woman.I freeze in the hallway as the unfamiliar figure comes out from Alexander’s room. There’s a huge satisfied smile on her lips. She’s tall, with impeccably styled hair and an air of casual confidence. She adjusts her coat, throwing one last glance at his door before she goes down the staircase and disappears.I stare at the now-empty corridor. Anger heats up inside me as I clench my fists. It isn’t just the implication of what happened that enrages me—it’s the blatant openness of it. In this house, our house, and with Wendy, my daughter, just down the hall. Alexander was never like this before. At least, if he had his affairs, they were discreet. I never saw him openly with any women.But now? Now, it’s as if he no longer cares.I feel an ache in my chest at the sight of it all.When did this start? And why?It didn’t help that I loved him. Was it my fault for allowing myself to fall for him, for believing that beneath his cold exterior there was a man worth lov

JULIA’S POVI sit in the living room in silence, staring at the wall. My mind races with different thoughts. The Tv makes noise in front of me but I’m not paying attention to whatever program is on. My thoughts are too loud, too chaotic and they drown out everything else.Ever since that argument with Eric, I haven’t been myself. I can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong—off. He’s distant, and his words that night hinted at something deeper. I’ve suspected it for a while now, but after our fight, I knew I had to act.The memory of that night still lingers in my mind. We had been arguing again—about our relationship, about trust, about Mia. He denied everything, of course, but his avoidance, the way he refused to meet my eyes, said it all.I knew he wasn’t over her.If he was, he wouldn’t be so bothered about her. He was always deep in thought, staring into space, making phone calls he didn’t want me to hear. It was obvious.The bastard still loves her.Fuck.What does she have

JULIA’S POVI sit on the edge of my bed with my hands clenched tightly in my lap. The investigator’s words replay in my head on an endless loop.He tried to talk to her. He waited for her attention.The pictures Paul sent are still on my phone, mocking me from the bedside table. Eric and Mia—together. He didn’t even try to hide it.I breathe in deeply, trying to calm the fury boiling inside me, but it’s useless. My chest tightens, and my jaw aches from clenching my teeth so hard. How dare he? After everything I’ve done, after everything I’ve sacrificed, he has the audacity to go crawling back to her?A bitter laugh escapes me as I pace the room. I can’t let this slide. If I do, I know exactly what will happen. Eric will weasel his way back into Mia’s good graces. He’ll play the remorseful ex. He’ll go back to her to apologize and grovel, telling her it was all a mistake. And Mia—naive, pathetic Mia might actually believe him. She’d take him back, and then where would I be?Divorced.T

JULIA’S POVI step out of the house with a hooded jacket hiding my features. My heart races, though I keep my breaths steady. This has to be perfect. Earlier, I instructed Paul to find Mia’s address, and he delivered. Now, I’m going to put my plan into motion.Eric isn’t home, which is convenient. I need this to happen without interruptions. Slipping into my disguise, I pull on a worn wig with strands falling over my face, then dress in old, ragged clothes that I wouldn’t be caught dead in on a normal day. I cut small holes into them for extra effect.. My reflection in the mirror earlier was unrecognizable, just as I intended.When I arrive at Mia’s estate, I’m taken aback. Her neighborhood screams luxury. Expensive cars are parked in driveways, and the homes stand tall, radiating wealth. A mansion? How did Mia manage to build this kind of life for herself? A feeling of jealousy stabs at me, but I shove it down. I’m not here to compare lives. I’m here to make sure hers takes a sharp t

ALEXANDER’S POVMia's fingers are tight around my wrist as she drags me out of Wendy’s room. Her grip is so desperate that I can feel the slight tremble in her hands. I follow her without arguing because I know for Mia to act this way, it must be something serious. Earlier, she said something about Eric being convinced that he’s Wendy’s father but it’s still left me confused because she hasn’t explained yet. I need her to tell me what’s happening. That’s the only way I’ll be able to help.“Mia, what’s going on?” I ask the moment she pulls me into the hallway.She looks around as if to make sure no one else is within earshot. Then she turns to me. Her eyes are wide and filled with fear. “Eric knows.”Silence stretches between us as my stomach tightens. “Knows what?”“He’s convinced that Wendy is his daughter,” she breathes out.Shock slams into me like a fist. “What?”Mia nods frantically. “When he confronted me in my office, it seemed like he was just making assumptions but right now

MIA’S POVI slide into the backseat of the car. My fingers tremble as I gently touch my throat where Eric’s hands had squeezed. The skin there is still hot from the pressure. I wince at the memory of his grip, the raw anger in his eyes. I could practically feel the anger radiating off him. His actions shocked me even more.Even when we were married, Eric had never been violent with me. He’d always been... controlling, sure, but never like this.Now, it’s like a switch has flipped. I can see the fury in his eyes. He seems desperate to find out the truth. He knows something, and I can’t—won’t—let him find out the truth. Wendy cannot be his. I won’t let him take her away from me. Not after everything we’ve been through.I need to talk to Alexander. He’s the only one who can help me. He’s the only one who knows about sending the warden off.How else did Eric confirm that Wendy was his daughter if not through the warden? My mind is racing and the pieces of the puzzle seem to be snapping in

MIA’S POVThe moment Gina walked away, I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding. The best option was to fire Gina but she begged me not to. I put myself in her shoes. I don’t blame her. She was desperate.Besides, was firing her really the best idea? Gina knew a lot about the company and she could easily play into Camille’s hands out of spite. The best thing is to keep an eye on her.I sink back into the seat of the car. My thoughts keep circling back to the fake document. It was supposed to be a weapon, something to use against me, but Camille didn’t know it was fake. Camile didn’t have a clue, did she?Just as I’m about to slip deeper into my thoughts, my phone buzzes, dragging me out of my head. The number on the screen is unfamiliar, but I answer it anyway.“Mia,” the voice on the other end says.I recognize the voice immediately. It’s Eric.“I see you,” he says “You need to pull over. I need to talk to you.”I sigh, rubbing my temples. I don’t have time for his games. Not

MIA’S POVMy heart pounds against my ribs as I sit in the car, gripping the leather of my seat. Outside, my driver speaks to the stranger who has been following us. I watch them through the tinted window with my breath caught in my throat.Who is this person? And why are they trailing me?Then, the second car door opens, and someone steps out.Gina.My breath hitches. Gina? My secretary?What the hell is she doing here?She exchanges a few words with my driver. As she talks, I can see her hands trembling at her sides. Then I hear it in her voice as she speaks. Even her voice is shaking."I need to speak to Miss Mia alone." She says.Alone?We literally just saw each other at the office. Why didn’t she talk to me there? Why did she have to trail behind me like a mad man?I lower the window. My eyes lock onto hers, searching for answers. Gina looks terrified. Her face is pale and I can see beads of sweat glistening on her forehead despite how cold it is outside."Gina?" My voice comes o

ERIC’S POVI pace the length of my study. My fingers keep drumming against the desk as I stare at the countless documents spread out before me. I know Mia is lying. Wendy is mine—I feel it in my bones. But feeling isn’t enough. I need proof. And if Mia won’t give it to me willingly, I’ll tear the truth from her hands myself.The research is relentless. I’ve scoured every record, every connection Mia had in prison, looking for someone—anyone—who might know what happened during those months she disappeared from my life. And then, in the midst of my search, I stumble upon something I never expected: my own past. I find out a secret about my family that I never knew about.A scandal. A cover-up. A murder.My father, my perfect, untouchable father—was accused of killing a family of three. Not with his own hands, no. He built the unstable house they lived in and because of how greedy he was, he refused to renovate it with better materials. He let it crumble to pieces around them. And when t

MIA’S POVThe cold metal chair beneath me is uncomfortable. The air in the visitation room is thick and suffocating. My fingers drum restlessly against the table as I wait.As soon as Eli gave Camille the document, we knew Camille would try to double cross him. Turns out, we were right. Camille got Eli arrested. I need Eli’s help. So, I decided to come see him in prison.I tap my fingers on the table, waiting impatiently. Then, the door creaks open.Eli steps through, and my breath catches in my throat.He’s barely recognizable. His walk is slower, heavier. His cheekbone is bruised, his lip split, and there’s a faint discoloration around his eye that tells me he’s been in a fight—several, by the looks of it. His jumpsuit hangs off his frame.“Jesus, Eli…” The words slip from my lips before I can stop them.He smirks, or at least tries to, but it looks more like a grimace. “Miss me?”I shake my head, swallowing down the lump in my throat. “What the hell happened to you?”He exhales slo

MIA’S POVEric just left my office, and I can’t breathe. The air feels thick, like I’m choking on all the secrets I’ve tried so hard to bury. My hands are trembling as I sit back in my chair, staring blankly at the door he walked out of.He knows.He has to know something.Why else would he accuse me like that? Like he’s piecing it all together. My stomach turns as I think about Wendy, my sweet, innocent Wendy and what this could mean for her.Eric can never find out she’s his daughter. Never. Not just because of the custody battle I’m sure he’d launch the moment he finds out, but because of Julia. That woman, no, that witch—would ruin Wendy’s life. I can already see it: Wendy being treated as some unwanted stepchild while Julia parades her fake smiles in public and spits venom at her in private. Wendy deserves better than that. She deserves love, stability, and happiness. I’ve worked too hard to give her that to let Eric and his wife take it all away.I grab my phone and dial my priv

ERIC’S POVThe image of Wendy’s innocent face keeps replaying in my mind. I’ve tried to focus on work, to push the thought of her out of my head, but it’s impossible. There’s something about her—something that calls to me. Something is urging me to uncover the truth. I know I should stay away, that my life is complicated enough as it is, but when I saw her with Mia… it shattered everything I thought I knew.I hired the best investigators, threw every resource at the case. My obsession grows with each passing hour. I tell myself it’s for closure, that I need answers. But deep down, I know it’s more than that. It’s something deeper. There’s a part of me that can’t shake the feeling that this little girl, Wendy is mine.I look through the details of Mia’s life after prison. The investigators are thorough.

ALEXANDER’S POVI’ve always believed that when you’re dealing with someone as ruthless as Camille, you have to be prepared for the unexpected. But nothing could have prepared me for the call that came in late that night. The voice on the other end was shaky, and filled with fear. It sounded as if they’ve been sitting on this secret for far too long."Alexander," the voice says. "I have information about Camille."I sit up straighter, immediately alert. My hand grips the edge of my desk. The blood in my veins runs cold. It’s the one thing I’ve been searching for—information that could expose everything about her."Who is this?" I demand.The voice hesitates for a long moment before answering, as if trying to think if they can trust me with what they're about to say."You don’t know me," they say, and there’s bitterness in their words. "But I know you. I know you’ve been digging into Camille, and I know what you’re trying to find."I lean forward “How do you know this?”“I was once like
