"Yes, I am aware." Regina pressed her lips together, responding with empathy.

Unable to tolerate the wait any longer, I swiftly whisked Justin away from the hospital.

As soon as we reached the exclusive restaurant I had mentioned, I wasted no time in placing a generous order for multiple delectable dishes. "Duck soup, prawn meat dumplings, garlic beef bone marrow..."

These dishes are packed with essential nutrients.

Once I placed my order, I made sure to inquire with Justin about his culinary preferences. "What would you like to have?" I asked him.

"Feel free to indulge in a delicious meal. I'm not hungry," Justin replied with a distant look on his face.

I couldn't help but break into a warm smile. "Of course. Would you be interested in having dinner with Regina after you have already consumed enough food to satisfy your hunger? You could consider getting a meal for her. There is no doubt that the food served at this establishment is of the highest quality.”

I attempted to bear with the situation and found myself inclined to request him to prepare the meal for my rival. Justin gave me a frigid stare. "Regina has a very poor appetite now."

To be honest, I did not have much of an appetite either. When I compared myself to the majority of people, I discovered that I had a significantly smaller appetite. The reason for my extensive order today was for the baby that is growing inside of my belly, but Justin appeared to be completely unaware of the reason for it.

"Oh, so I'm the one who indulges in food?" My cheeks swelled up like a miniature goldfish, and I assumed an angry expression on my face. I went so far as to fold my arms across my chest while maintaining a look of disdain on my face.

Even though I was experiencing an overwhelming amount of frustration, I made an effort to keep up a pleasant appearance. 

Justin had been a witness to every aspect of my being over the course of the past three years with me.

Because of the alluring and seductive woman in bed, as well as the adorable and compliant woman in everyday life, Justin was able to persevere through those three years of solitude that were so long with me.

"Feel free to indulge in as much as your heart desires." Justin let out a deep sigh, overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness.

Eventually, the plates were brought to the table. I indulged in a satisfying meal without hesitation. I found myself feeling even more ravenous after becoming pregnant. As anticipated, a pair of individuals consumed a greater quantity of food compared to a single individual.

Food that was typically not regarded as tasty suddenly became incredibly delectable.

After indulging in a delightful feast, my stomach was nearly satiated. I dabbed at the corner of my mouth with a tissue and inquired of Justin, “Didn’t you want to talk to me earlier? What is it that you wanted to talk about?”

"What did you tell Regina just now?" Justin inquired with a chilly tone.

Oh crap. It seems like he had been eagerly anticipating this moment solely to question me.

I shrugged nonchalantly. "She revealed that she was battling leukemia. And she also accused me of being a third party in your love story."

"Yes, she has been suffering from leukemia, and we're eagerly anticipating the bone marrow." Justin's gaze was brimming with indescribable feelings as he locked eyes with me. "The results for the bone marrow matching have been released. There is definitely a good match. You're familiar with this person too."

"What do you mean I am familiar with this person?" I was completely taken aback by your statement. Totally confused by Justin's mysterious intentions.

"Indeed, Margarette, you have previously expressed your willingness to sacrifice everything for me. Isn't that right?" Justin's lips gently parted, causing a subtle shift in my expression.

After some careful consideration and a period of deep reflection, I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread when I finally grasped Justin's intended meaning. I reluctantly gestured towards myself and inquired with a hint of stiffness, "Wait. Are you referring to... me?"

Justin paused briefly before giving a nod.

"How absurd!" I couldn't help but abruptly rise to my feet.

Now that Regina had returned, Justin immediately felt the urge to end their marriage and eliminate any trace of the unborn child. And yet, Justin wasn't content with just that, he also had the audacity to try and steal my very existence?

I found myself feeling quite unsettled by the question of how to donate bone marrow while being pregnant.

"No way!" I immediately declined without hesitation, blurting out, "I absolutely won't agree. Not only am I going through a divorce because of her, but now I'm also expected to donate bone marrow for her? Justin, just what do you take me for exactly, huh?"

I had no intention of donating, and I would come up with any excuse to avoid giving anything to my rival. After all, I had the added responsibility of taking care of a child. If Justin were aware of the circumstances surrounding the child, it is likely that he would strongly urge her to consider terminating the pregnancy in order to prioritize Regina's well-being.

This man was completely crazy with Regina that he would go to such length even sacrificing me!

While I had previously expressed my willingness to sacrifice everything for Justin, it's important to clarify that my commitment only extended to him and not to Regina. Perhaps it was because Justin believed that Regina was his entire world, which is why he would go to such great measures to utilize me in order to prolong Regina's existence.

I felt a deep pang in my heart.

"Margarette, if you're willing to save Regina, I'm open to accepting any conditions you have." Justin wondered if he had overlooked some of the requirements.

However, I couldn't help but blurt out, " Really? anything? Then how about we don't go through with the divorce? Are you willing to do that?"

I can't help but ponder if he'd be willing to give up being with Regina in order to save her life.

Justin gazed at me in complete silence. His hesitation was palpable. It was clear that his desire to rescue Regina and be by her side was strong, but unfortunately, circumstances forced him to make a difficult choice.

"Margarette, let's not be too greedy. Even if I agree with you, it's important to acknowledge that my actions were solely driven by the desire to save Regina, not by any feelings of love for you. Given this, would you still choose to remain with someone like me who is incapable of reciprocating your love? think about it." Justin's voice dripped with icy disdain.

Was I really so greedy, or was Justin the one consumed by his own desires?

I had a ghostly complexion. As soon as Justin uttered those words, a sudden pang of anguish pierced through my chest.

Out of nowhere, a question popped into my mind and said it out, "What if I'm open to the idea of you not loving me?"

His eyes, usually filled with charm and tenderness, seemed different this time. They lacked their usual cuteness and gentleness. There was a profound sense of sadness and a touch of excitement.

Justin's words completely shattered all of my expectations. "I have no desire to do agree in your terms, and if you insist to proceed, you will risk losing everything you have right."

"Haha, Justin, you truly let me down." Despite my efforts to please, Justin remained uninterested, leaving me feeling disappointed and overlooked. All of a sudden, a wave of self-doubt washed over me, making me question my own worth.

    The rain was falling again.It always did on days like this—days that felt like endings.I stood on the edge of the cliffs overlooking the stormy waters of Anacortes, my coat pulled tightly around me, the hood shielding my face from the wind that carried the scent of salt and something older—something like goodbye.Leon stood behind me. I didn’t have to turn around to feel him there. His presence was familiar now, carved into my skin like muscle memory. He’d been my gravity, my storm, my salvation, and my ruin—sometimes all at once.“It’s really over, isn’t it?” I whispered, more to the wind than to him.He didn’t answer right away. His silence was as heavy as the stormclouds above us.“I wanted to fix everything for you,” he said finally, his voice hoarse, like it had been dragged across a battlefield. “I wanted to give you a life that didn’t hurt.”I closed my eyes. The ache in my chest pulsed with every beat of my heart. “You did,” I said. “For a while, you did.”I heard the crunch

    I took a deep breath, steadying myself. “I’m not the same person I was before,” I said, my voice firm, unwavering. “And I’m not walking away this time.”The man’s eyes flickered with a moment of doubt, just enough for me to catch. And then, before I could even register what had happened, Leon moved.Faster than I could blink, Leon was in front of me, his hand grabbing the gun and twisting it out of the man’s grasp. The force of it sent the man stumbling back, but he didn’t go down easily. His bodyguards rushed in, but Leon was already a step ahead, disarming one of them with a swift, calculated move.I stood frozen for a moment, trying to process what I was witnessing. Leon—always so calm, always so careful—was ruthless. He was like a force of nature, determined to protect me at all costs.But the fight wasn’t over yet. The man recovered, his eyes burning with rage. “You really think you’ve won?” he spat, his voice dripping with venom. “You’re nothing but a pawn in a game you can’t ev

    The sound of boots drew closer, pounding the floor with an urgency that echoed through the cavernous halls of the estate. My heart raced as the reality of what I had just heard crashed into me like a tidal wave. The man who had once been a part of my life—my family’s betrayer, the one who had orchestrated their deaths—stood there, calmly, as if this was just another night for him.Leon’s grip on my hand tightened, but I didn’t let him pull me away. I could feel the air thickening with tension, the walls pressing in as everything I thought I knew began to crumble.The intruders were only moments away.The man—he—smirked, watching us. “You think this will end well? You’ve no idea what you’re up against. My people are everywhere.”I took a step forward, ignoring Leon’s silent plea to retreat. “You killed them. And you thought I would be the next one to fall in line?” My voice was a whisper, but it held a power I hadn’t realized I had. “You were wrong.”The man’s face faltered, just for a

    Next Morning at the Estate Archives. The basement was cold and damp, and the air smelled of mildew and secrets. Old boxes lined the walls, labeled in my father’s tidy script. Financial records. Land deeds. Correspondence.Leon sifted through a crate of documents while I dug through another.Then something caught my eye.A faded folder labeled: Project Thornfield.I opened it slowly.Inside were blueprints—plans for development across coastal land that was supposed to be protected forest. There were signatures from multiple board members, including names I recognized.And then, one I didn’t.N. Vallis.Leon leaned over. “You know that name?”I shook my head. “No. But look here—he signed off on the project two weeks before my parents died.”Leon pulled out his phone. “I’ll run a background check.”I kept flipping through the documents—and found something that made my blood run cold.An aerial photo.Of the cliffside. Our property.With a giant red X drawn over the coordinates where my p

    THREE WEEKS LATER...The investigation moved faster than I’d expected. With the board fully on our side now, the paper trail unraveled like a thread pulled from an old sweater—each piece of evidence exposing the next. Shell companies. Forged contracts. Witnesses who had remained silent out of fear but were finally coming forward.Still, no one had seen him since the day of the summit. He had vanished without a trace. No flights. No offshore activity. No messages. It was like he’d disappeared into smoke.But Dorian didn’t believe in ghosts. “He’s hiding,” he said as he handed me a thick folder. “And this—this will force him out.”I flipped through the documents. Bank records. A property registered under an alias. Hidden deep in the woods outside of Anacortes. I felt my stomach twist.Leon stepped up behind me, his hand grazing my shoulder. “Let’s pay him a visit.”The cabin was barely more than a shadow tucked between trees. No lights. No car. Just silence and the thrum of insects in t

    Sunlight crept cautiously through the cracks in the blinds, casting golden slivers across the hardwood floor of the safe house bedroom. I sat curled up on the edge of the bed, a blanket draped around my shoulders and the journal heavy in my lap. The cover was cracked, worn with age and secrets. My fingers hovered over the first page for what felt like an eternity.Leon was nearby—he hadn’t slept much, either. He stood at the window with a mug of black coffee, watching the world outside with quiet alertness. When I finally opened the journal, he turned slightly but didn’t speak. He knew I needed silence for this.The first entry was dated nearly two decades ago.July 14th. We signed the contract today. Two families, one future. The woman from Delmar Holdings is more cunning than I expected. She knows we’re desperate—and she used it. I told Mariana to trust me. That this was the only way. God help me, I hope I’m right.My breath hitched. Mariana—that was my mother’s name.I flipped thro
