JULIA'S POVEric isn't home and there's nothing for me to do so, I so the one thing that's on my mind - Go to James' house. He might not like it but I don't care. He's my cousin, after all. He's stuck with me and he's got to learn to deal with it. I drive into his estate unannounced. I know his code so I type it into the door and enter. The scent of roasted garlic fills the air as I step into the apartment. I can also hear soft jazz music playing in the background. I glance around, taking in his neat, polished home. I go to the kitchen and find him cooking. He turns around and flinches. He's obviously not expecting me. “Julia,” James says in a surprised tone “What are you doing here?”I flash him a small smile. “What? I can’t visit my cousin now?”He hesitates. His lips tighten but he doesn’t argue. “Come in,” he mutters, stepping aside.I enter the kitchen fully. James is the only family member I trust enough to be real with these days, and even then, it’s more about convenience t

JULIA’S POVI storm out of James' house angrily. My thoughts filled with disbelief and anger. Mia is alive. She’s alive. The name alone makes my stomach twist.How? How the hell did she survive?My mind replays the accident over and over. I placed the device well. I was sure the brakes would fail. How come? Paul had told me the accident looked fatal. There was no way anyone could have walked away from that… and yet, here she is.My heels click sharply against the pavement as I head to my car, trying to calm the anger inside me. I grip my keys tightly. I’m so lost in my thoughts that I almost don’t hear it when James calls out my name.“Julia! Wait!” he calls after me.I turn to see him jogging after me. His brows are furrowed with concern.“What is it, James?” I snap. My voice comes out sharper than intended, but I don’t care. Not now.He stops a few feet away. His chest rises and falls from the effort of chasing after me. “What’s wrong? You’ve been acting strange ever since you saw M

JULIA’S POVI storm into my house, slamming the door so hard the frame rattles. My anger spreads through my veins and every thought of Mia only makes it worse.She’s alive.My plan failed. How? How is she still breathing? The idea of her walking around like everything is fine makes my stomach twist with more anger. I pace the living room, clenching my fists so tightly my nails bite into my palms.James. My cousin, my own family refuses to help me. Of course, it’s because he likes her. The revelation twists something ugly in my chest, and I snarl under my breath. What does he even see in her? What does anyone see in her? She’s nothing special—plain, irritating, and always acting so righteous. And yet, she has this hold on people. She has this magnetic pull I can’t understand but desperately want to destroy.I grab a glass of water from the counter, only to slam it down untouched. It doesn’t matter what James thinks of her. If he won’t help me, then fine. I don’t need him. But the fact

MIA’S POVThe office is quiet as I sit at my desk, flipping through a few documents I need to review before the day ends. My phone vibrates and I glance at the screen to see James’s name flashing. A small smile spreads across my face as I pick up the call.“Hey, James,” I greet, leaning back in my chair. “What’s up?”“Hey, you,” he replies “How’s your day going?”“It’s fine,” I say “I just wrapped up my last meeting an hour ago, so it’s been manageable. How about you?”“Same old, same old,” he chuckles. “But listen, I was wondering, are you free for dinner tonight? I have this great spot in mind, and I think you’ll love it.”I glance at my planner out of habit, even though I know my schedule by heart. “Hold on,” I tell him, teasingly dramatic. “Let me check my oh-so-busy schedule... Yep, I’m free by seven.”“Perfect!” he says “I’ll pick you up from work, then. Sound good?”“Sounds great,” I reply “See you later.”The hours pass quickly, and before I know it, evening rolls around.

MIA’S POVThe realization of how deeply Alexander has invaded my thoughts sends a feeling I can’t describe through my entire body. My skin feels hot and my chest tight. It’s as if just the thought of him has power over me, leaving me unsettled and distracted. I still haven’t answered James’s question about Alexander but that’s not what bothers me most. It’s the suffocating feeling of emotions I can’t control.It feels as if the walls are closing in on me and I have no idea why. I feel all heated up inside.I need to leave here, if only for a moment. I need to breathe“I’ll be back in a few minutes,” I say abruptly, standing from the table.James looks up at me in concern “Are you okay?”I force a small smile “Yeah, I just need a moment.”Without waiting for his response, I walk toward the restrooms. The air feels cooler here, but it’s not enough to clear my head. I push open the bathroom door and step inside, letting out a long, shaky breath as I lean against the sink.I stare at my

MIA’S POVAfter an awkward dinner, James takes me home. I let out a deep breath as he pulls up in front of my house.For a moment, we both sit there I silence. None of us knows what to say or what to do.Honestly, the situation was more awkward than I was prepared for. I wasn’t expecting him to come into the bathroom and kiss me. It didn’t help that throughout the kiss, I was thinking of someone else.“Goodnight,” I say, giving him a small smile before stepping out of the car.As I walk up the pathway to the front door, I replay the events of the evening in my mind. The kiss. His lips were soft, and he was sweet, but… something felt off. Something… someone. My heart clenches and I feel guilty all over again. I didn’t mean to think of Alexander, but his face kept intruding.I shake my head as I open the door. Wendy’s excited little voice immediately fills the space, pulling me out of my thoughts. “Mommy!” she cries, rushing toward me with outstretched arms.Her tiny feet hit against t

ALEXANDER’S POVEarlier this evening, I stop by a small flower shop on the way to Mia's office. The scent of roses and lilies fills the air as I pick out a bouquet of her favorite flowers—soft pink roses and white baby's breath. I’ve never bought her flowers before, but something about today feels different. Maybe it’s the constant ache in my chest every time I think of her. Or maybe it’s the way she’s always on my mind, no matter how hard I try to focus on anything else. I want to do something that makes her smile, something that tells her she’s special to me.By the time I reach her office building, the sun is beginning to set. I park my car and head inside with the bouquet clutched tightly in my hand. I’m nervous. It’s not like me to feel this way, but Mia has always had that effect on me. She makes me feel... alive even though I don’t like to show it.As I approach her office, I see her through the glass window. She’s moving quickly, like she’s in a hurry to grab something. Her h

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?

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
