"Deal, then," Aliyah agreed with a slight nod. She grabbed her phone from the bed and redialed Cassia’s number, as promised. Lucas leaned in, trying to eavesdrop, but Aliyah shoved him away with a glare. After two rings, Cassia picked up. "Hey, Cassia. Sorry for cutting the call short earlier,"
"What if I’m carrying twin girls? Would the entire fortune belong to them?" Stacy took a deep breath, steadying herself. She had been eavesdropping just moments ago, but now she had to act as if she had just arrived. Her fingers hovered over the door, about to knock. But before she could, the door
As Darvan stepped inside his family estate, his expression remained calm, but his mind was filled with worry. He hadn’t come to see his mother, nor did he have any idea that Stacy was with her. He was there for one reason: to grab a few things from his room. As the door opened on its own and he ste
Her friends rolled their eyes. "I guess you’ve found the perfect weapon to use against us," Kiara chuckled, making Cassia smirk. "Well, that’s not the only reason I came," she admitted. Quinn and Kiara exchanged knowing glances. "So, you're really here for Liam?" Quinn asked. Cassia nodded
The night was a cool one but not for Darvan. The cool gentle breeze swept through the city as he and Stacy walked side by side. The streetlights illuminated their way and the faint sounds of traffic filled the air. Despite the beautiful atmosphere, Darvan remained silent, lost in thought. It felt
Could she really say no to her mother? Would her mother get mad if she lowered the amount to a million? Still caught up in her thoughts, her mother's voice came through again. "If the money is sent now, I can start with whatever I have in mind," her mother muttered softly. Cassia let out a
Cassia stood in the middle of her room, staring at the neatly packed suitcase on her bed. Tomorrow, she would be leaving for an entirely new journey, and she needed to make sure she was fully prepared. She moved toward her closet, pulling out the last few items she might need. A few more outfits,
After the handshake,Cassia was given the cake and cut it while everyone cheered. She smiled and bowed in appreciation. "That's Mathew, your temporary personal assistant," the man from earlier said. Cassia nodded. "I'll give you a tour," Mathew offered. Cassia nodded again and followed him throug
Cassia stopped reading, frozen in place as she stared at the piece of paper in her hands. Darvan wasn’t Mrs. Sinclair’s son? She decided to read it again. And again. Maybe the words would change, or blur enough to make her doubt them. But no, the truth was stubborn. Her hands trembled as she care
Marc inhaled deeply as he sat beside Stacy’s unconscious body. Machines beeped steadily, reminding him that despite the silence, she was alive. If not because of Fredrick who texted him about the incident, until now, he'd have been clueless. He watched her face, pale and still, her breath barely m
Adams didn’t waste another second. The moment Henry walked out of the store, blood still fresh on his lips and that mocking grin still etched on his face, Adams went after him. He didn’t care about the things he wanted to buy. Didn’t care about the people staring or the mess they left behind. He ne
Cassia blinked, trying to take in what he said. “If your mom really had something to do with this... then maybe Martinez was innocent?” she mumbled, but Darvan caught it. He looked at her. “You think he didn’t do it? Did he say anything?” Cassia sighed and sat down on the couch. “I don’t even know
“So she erased my memory?” Darvan murmured to himself, lowering his gaze, as if the explanation had confirmed something he wasn’t ready to accept. “Why do you ask? Are you considering undergoing the procedure?” the doctor asked, pushing his glasses down the bridge of his nose as he tapped the back
The phone rang once, twice… and just as Cassia was beginning to lose her patience, Martinez picked up. “Cassia?” His voice was low, almost hesitant, as if afraid to say her name. She swallowed. “Good morning.” She greeted him, but he didn’t reply. “Have you thought about it? I—” “How did you
Mrs. Sinclair froze. Her breath caught in her throat as Darvan’s words echoed in the room. She couldn’t speak. Her hands trembled slightly, but she quickly hid them behind her back. Her eyes locked with his, and for the first time, there was something raw in her expression… something she hadn’t sh
By the time the car stopped in front of Justin's house, the sky was starting to turn from dark to light blue. Everything was quiet, the streets were empty, and the morning air felt a little cold. Frederick opened the car door, letting out a sigh as he stepped out. "Thanks for the ride." he murmured
The night felt like it would never end. Cassia sat quietly in the cold hospital corridor, leaning against the wall. Her eyes were tired, but she couldn’t sleep. The only sounds were the quiet footsteps of nurses passing by. Liam sat a few seats away, staring at his phone without really looking, whi
