Lyla’s POVI watched Mrs. Karev walk away until she faded out of sight, my mind still reeling from her harsh words. Over in the corner, I noticed Sasha speaking with a group of people. I couldn’t make out their conversation, but when she caught my eye, she immediately turned her focus to me and Jace. I felt the intensity of her gaze, sharp and critical.Jace seemed to notice her too. Without saying a word, he pulled me closer, planting a passionate kiss on my lips. The crowd around us seemed to blur as he held me tight, guiding me into a slow dance. I could feel Sasha’s eyes burning into us, her anger unmistakable. She dismissed the people she had been talking to and walked toward Mrs. Karev, likely to report everything she had seen.Part of me wanted to roll my eyes—there was nothing she could do to stop us. But I couldn’t help the small sense of satisfaction that bubbled inside me. Watching her fume was oddly reassuring.“Can you see that?” I heard Sasha’s voice from across the room

Lyla’s POVFor a few moments, I stood frozen, staring at Abel, my pulse racing in my ears. He was so close, and for reasons I couldn’t fully explain, I felt something shift within me. He smelled like Jace—just as intoxicating, the same cologne that had always made my heart flutter when Jace was near. I raised my hand and slapped him but he didn’t flinch. His presence was powerful; it was hard not to notice him. His body was strong, his lips full, his hands gentle as he held my arm after I struck him.I hadn’t meant to do it. The slap was a reflex, but his response was different from anything I expected. Abel didn’t raise his voice or react with anger. Instead, he held my gaze with an intensity that unnerved me.“You know me too well, Lyla. I can be anything—an alcoholic, a womanizer—but I would never hit a woman. I really like you, and I’m serious about it. I don’t care if I cut ties with my family—I know what I want.”His words lingered in the air between us. “I can even call off my

Lyla’s POV.It had been such an exciting night. Bailey and I didn’t sleep at all, staying up in her room, dancing, celebrating, and laughing until we were breathless. We had some drinks, but I didn’t go overboard—I was already tipsy, and Jace would’ve hated it if he found out I continued drinking after he got home. We finally collapsed on her bed, but the joy didn’t stop. We kept talking, laughing, and sharing our happiness.“I can’t believe this, sis! I’m getting married!” Bailey’s voice was filled with pure joy. “I’m getting married to the man I love the most. Can you believe that?”“I’m so happy for you, Bailey,” I said, my heart swelling with pride. “I knew everything was going to work out. God always has a plan for us.”“Sis, you have no idea how much I love this man,” she continued. “He’s not just wealthy, but also so caring and kind. And you won’t believe it—he gave me another million to help with my business startup!”“What?!” I sat up, completely stunned. “Girl, you are so lu

Lyla's POVMy heart skipped a beat when I walked into the bedroom and saw Jace holding my phone. His expression was unreadable, and I couldn’t tell if he was angry or upset. I froze in the doorway, unsure how to react. I just stood there, eyes locked on him, trying to figure out what was going on.“Here, you have a message,” Jace said casually, handing me the phone. He didn’t seem angry, just… detached, as though nothing was wrong. He pressed something on the screen and then went back to typing on his MacBook. I thought he might shout or confront me about something, but instead, he just handed me the phone and stayed silent.I took the phone from him slowly, expecting him to say more. But he didn’t. My hand trembled slightly as I glanced down at the screen, still unsure of what to say or do. I deleted the message from Abel without a second thought and blocked his number again. The last thing I wanted was to give Jace any reason to think something was going on.After a long silence, Ja

Lyla’s PovMy mood changed instantly.“What? Why?”Don't tell me you accepted her proposal,I asked with a very stern face.You know how sour our relationship is,you know she doesn't like me, please tell me you refused, talk to me babe i said my heart racing at a very fast pace.I'm sorry my love,she insisted and I couldn't help it, so I gave her the go ahead to come over, I'm sorry “Someone pinch me, probably I'm dreaming”. You did what? Tears filling up and blurring my vision.How could you babe, you were present at the rebranding party, you were there when she said all those mean things to me and you still accepted for her to move in with us without even informing me?How am I supposed to live with a woman who hates me so much, who's never pleased with anything I do as long as it comes from me.How could you Jace, I feel betrayed,how could you do this to me Oh! My nightmares just began.You're rarely home during the day,how do I cope at home alone with your mother now.Before I c

Lyla's POVI froze on the bed, and the only thought racing through my mind was how much pressure I was going to be under. If I allowed it, Mrs. Karev would become a thorn in my side the moment she stepped foot in our home.“I don’t understand,” I said, my voice tinged with frustration. “Why is she moving in with us? She has a whole mansion to herself. Why does she need to come live here?” I frowned, and Jace immediately noticed my reaction.“I know this is going to inconvenience you a lot,” he began, but I interrupted him before he could finish.“Yes, it is!” I snapped, my voice sharp.“She’s only staying for a week or two, I promise. She says she wants to spend time with me since I won’t be going to the family house. She misses me, you know? I’m her only child. I have to understand her, too. I know she can be a handful, but please, just put up with her for this period.”I stood up from the bed, and Jace reached for my arm, pulling me gently back toward him. I pulled away, not ready t

Lyla’s POV“So, because you managed to pull off just one project, you think you can sleep all day? Is that how Mr Karev and I built this company?” Mrs. Karev’s voice sliced through the room. “I always knew you were the bad egg dragging Jace down. I have never liked you and you always give me a reason to hate you! How can you still be in bed by this time? No wonder you cannot produce any child because God knows you cannot take care of them.“Mum!” Jace barked, his voice frustrated. “It’s too early for this.”“Early?” Mrs. Karev scoffed. “It’s past 10 AM, and here you are, sleeping like a couple of jobless people.”“Good morning, Mrs. Karev,” I said, my voice cutting through the tension.“There’s nothing good about this morning, Lyla. You’d better get up, get out of bed, and make breakfast for me and my son. I’m sure Jace didn’t marry you to have you lounging around the house. If there’s nothing else to do, go unload my suitcases from the car.”“Suitcases? I thought you were only stayin

Bailey's POV The guest bathroom was quiet, too quiet. Bailey stood over the sink, clutching her phone like it might burn her skin. Her thumb hovered over the number.“K.”No last name. No picture. No call history before now.She opened the contact.Nothing but a blank number. No clues. No metadata. Just one thing: the message had come from that number moments before the call was logged.Her heart thudded. She could hear laughter outside the door—her family, the new found peace. She didn’t want to disrupt that. Not again.But the name. "Protected Asset".Why her?There was a time when she believed everything Lyla told her. That they were simply survivors of a dangerous time. That they had gotten lucky. That the world was finally safe again. But the older Bailey got, the more her instincts sharpened—and they had been whispering for months now.There were gaps in her story.Memories that felt inserted. Emotions that didn’t align. And now this strange call that she didn’t make.Outside t

The Thanksgiving HourLyla's POV The scent of cinnamon and toasted rosemary drifted through the house like a calming melody, wrapping each room in a warmth that made time appear to stretch. The living room boomed with the soft hum of old jazz records playing on a speaker Lyla refused to replace. In the backyard, the kids laughed with joy, their laughter riding the swing set into the soft golden light of late afternoon.Inside the kitchen, Lyla stood over the mashed potatoes, her sleeves rolled up and her face dripping of sweat which she wiped off occasionally with her elbow.She stirred them methodically, humming along with the music while her apron—one Claire had gifted her years ago that read Master of the House—absorbs the chaos of cooking.“Hey!” Chad called from the stove at the other side of the kitchen. “Do sweet potatoes burn faster if you stare at them?”Lyla laughed. “Yes. The potatoes can sense fear.”Bailey entered with her hair up in a high ponytail and two pies balance

Bailey's POV The rain came down in a quiet drizzle as Bailey wandered the campus garden, the fog from her breath mingling with the early morning chill. Her textbooks were still in her bag, unread. Sleep had eluded her. Not from exams or stress.But because of that dream again.The same hallway. White tile. The same phrase clung into her memory like a scar.“She was never supposed to know.”She had not told anyone yet, not even Lyla. But last night, she had stayed late in the medical lab and submitted a sample for a DNA test—one she had been carrying around in her mind for months but never had the courage to confront.She will have the results by tonight.And a feeling deep in her chest told her nothing would be the same after that.Jace paced in the hidden room beneath the clinic. It had been two days since they found Becky’s twisted letter to Bailey, and still, the questions piled higher than answers.Lyla sat across him, surrounded by old files. A folder already damaged with water

Jace POV The next morning, the sun was already hot against the windows of Karev Medical & Wellness center. Jace had barely managed three hours of sleep.Lyla made him coffee while reviewing files. Neither spoke about the trapdoor, the lily, or the voice message just yet. Not until they had more information.The bell above the door chimed.Jace looked up—and froze.An elderly man in a tailored navy coat stepped inside. He walked with a slow, deliberate limp. Silver hair, sharp eyes. Something about him screamed military or something worse.The man held out a letter. “Dr. Jace Karev?”“Yes,” Jace said carefully.“I was told you’re the only one who can help.”Jace opened the letter.It was hand-written. “This man should be dead. On record, he is. But he isn’t. Help him—and you’ll start to understand what they erased from your past.Don’t trust the files.From_A Friend.”Jace gasped. “Who gave you this?”The man looked around nervously. “She told me to come here. A woman with short dark

Bailey's POV The emergency lights flickered in the archive room, throwing Bailey and Callum into crimson shadows. The girl—A-11—stood eerily calm between the cabinets.Bailey’s breath hitched. She couldn’t look away.Same height. Same build. Same eyes.But there was something off about her… like a reflection bent by time and darkness.“You’re lying,” Bailey whispered. “I don’t have a sister.”“No,” the girl replied coolly, “you have an upgraded prototype.”A-11 stepped forward, lifting a finger and tapping the metal case with a smug smile. “Everything you need to know about me is in there. Right next to the pages that say you were supposed to be terminated before age five.”Bailey recoiled. “Terminated?”Callum moved protectively in front of her.The girl chuckled. “Relax. You’re useful now.”Gunshots echoed again in the distance.“They’re coming,” she added. “You have two minutes before this place gets turned into ash. Make a choice, Bailey. Come with me—or die like the others.”Bail

Jace POVJace was overwhelmed at the quick completion of his clinic, one that he has always wanted to own but his father insisted he carries on with the family business after the demise of his elder brother.But right now, everything was finally falling into place and he couldn't be less excited.At last, he'll be able to practice as a neurologist, something he has wanted all his life.The morning air held the faint scent of rain, the pavement still damp from an early downpour. Jace stood just beneath the bronze plaque as the drill clicked off, leaving behind the last echo of steel on the brick.KAREV MEDICAL & WELLNESS CENTER Dr. Jace KarevThe words unscripted in gold glittered caught in the rising sun like a diamond carved into metal.He took a step back, arms crossed, heart beating just a little faster than he would like to admit. Not for the plaque—but for what it meant.A clean slate.He hadn’t told his father. He hasn't seen the need to. For once, Jace wasn’t chasing legacy. H

Bailey's POVIt was the beginning of the year in medical school,Bailey Turner had never been so excited as she would finally be a neurosurgeon, it's something she had wanted right from her childhood.She got to the gate and waited beneath the arch of St. Clair Medical School’s East Wing, the frosty morning air pulling at the tips of her chestnut hair. She gripped the strap of her schoolbag as though it were a soothing relief to the tension already building within her and gazed up at the building's glass exterior. Rain had created lines on the surface resembling ghost fingers. She took a deep breath.This wasn’t just any school. It was the dream Claire had whispered into her ear since childhood. It was the life that had almost been stolen from her again and again—by shadows, betrayal, and secrets that still clung to her skin like smoke.Now? It was hers.She stepped through the door, clutching the faded photo of her, Lyla, and Claire one last time before sliding it into her coat.Room

Becky’s POV “No, this is unacceptable. None of this makes sense,” Becky said, her voice raised as she ransacked her old hospital files. “If we are not her parents, then where did she come from?”Chad lifted a dusty box marked “Olivia – Birth.”Inside were photos, documents, the footprint card… and then—“Where’s the birth certificate?” he asked.Becky froze.“I… it was always there.”They tore through every folder, drawer, envelope. Nothing.Chad turned pale. “She must have taken it.”“Lyla?”He nodded. “She knew this day would come.”But Becky noticed something else in the box—a small piece of paper tucked inside a baby photo. It wasn’t handwritten. It was typed, and it was coded.It read:"Room 408. 11:47 p.m. Not the one she expected. Claire switched the vial."Becky’s eyes widened. “Claire again.”She immediately pulled out her phone from her purse and dialed a number. “Who are you calling?” Chad asked inquisively. “An old contact,shs said. Someone who worked night shifts that

Lyla’s POV Lyla rose from her seat. This time, her expression faltered —just slightly.“She was never supposed to be mine,” she began quietly. “When I found out Chad cheated, I was furious. I wanted out, but I couldn’t lose everything at once. I had just discovered he was infertile.”Becky stared at her. “So you stole—”“No,” Lyla interrupted. “I made a deal.”She turned to the judge. “That hospital wasn’t just where Becky was restrained. It was where I paid to have her artificially inseminated.”Gasps exploded in the courtroom.“What?” Chad stood again. “That’s not possible. That’s not—”“She signed consent while sedated,” Lyla said. “Technically, the paperwork was in order. I chose the donor. I ensured the embryo was viable.”Becky clutched the side of the wooden chair to keep herself from falling.“You turned me into a surrogate?”Lyla didn’t blink. “You were already falling apart. I gave you purpose.”The judge stared in horror. “This… This is a criminal offense. This is beyond
