Darvan inhaled, his mind racing as the lawyer analyzed the document. Just as the lawyer leaned forward to respond, Darvan’s phone buzzed. His mother’s name flashed across the screen and he sighed. "Does she want to request this?" Justin asked, gesturing toward the documents. "Yes, but I won’t give
Cassia stood outside Liam’s door, hesitating. She had spent the entire night tossing and turning, thinking about him… about his confession. And now, standing here, she was nervous. Taking a deep breath, she knocked. Seconds later, the door opened, revealing Liam in a loose shirt and sweatpants. Hi
Stacy’s fingers trembled as she reached for the documents, her heart pounding. Just as her fingertips grazed the paper, Mrs. Sinclair smoothly pulled them away before she could pick it up. Stacy blinked, her gaze slowly lifting to Mrs. Sinclair, who wore a small, knowing smile. "I’ll give these t
"You've got to be kidding me," Darvan muttered, his brows furrowing as he glanced at his mother, who was now staring at Martinez. Martinez, seated to the side and barely paying attention to anything happening, was lost in thought. His mind was consumed with worries about Cassia. Her mood hadn’t bee
Stacy. Pregnant. With his child. He had his doubts, but now… it was real. Darvan's grip on the phone tightened. "Are you sure about this, Dr. Watson?" "Yes, sir. We ran multiple tests. The results are accurate. You’re welcome to drop by the hospital and review them yourself," the doctor replied. "
Darvan’s grip on the steering wheel tightened as he drove to Justin’s company. His mind was a mess. No matter how much he tried to process everything, it still felt unreal. Stacy was the last person he would ever trust now. For days, he had convinced himself it was a lie. That she had manipulated t
Cassia looked down at the pavement, her lips pressing into a pout as she spotted her phone lying there, slightly tilted with the screen facing up. "Oh no..." she mumbled, crouching down to pick it up. A sharp gasp escaped her lips as she saw the screen completely shattered. "Shit..." she muttered,
As they slowly pulled away from the hug, Stacy's mind was a mess. She had been prepared for his cold attitude, his usual mean words...but not this. Mrs. Sinclair, who had been silently watching, smiled gently. "She was just about to head home," she said softly, her gaze moving between them. "You
Martinez sat frozen in his car for almost thirty minutes, his breath shaky as his grip on the steering wheel tightened. The thought of having anything to do with Cassia's parents kept echoing in his mind. Was he responsible for their deaths? No matter how hard he tried to shake it off, the flashes o
Cassia and Liam had been deeply engrossed in their design ideas for hours before they finally decided to take a break. Stepping out for a drink, they noticed Henry still seated in the reception area, waiting. Cassia raised a brow, surprised to see him still there, especially after Liam had made it
Darvan remained silent for a long time, trying to process everything that had just happened. His mind kept circling back to the voice he had heard over the phone. Stacy had saved Marc’s number as if they were business partners. But what kind of business were they involved in together? The bigger qu
Cassia left her room, already prepared for work. She found her friends still seated, but they immediately stood up when they saw her. "Going somewhere?" Quinn asked. Cassia nodded, making her way toward the door. "I'm not in the mood for your teasing today," she said, adjusting the strap of her ba
Martinez sat frozen, his mind in chaos. His sister’s words echoed in his head again, each syllable hitting him hard. "What are you saying?" he repeated, his a whisper. "That I... had something to do with her parents' death?" Mrs. Sinclair stood, turning to face her brother properly. "Figure it out
Martinez let out a deep sigh, running a hand through his hair as he sat up properly. Cassia, on the other hand, looked away, removing the bedspread from her body. "She misunderstood, right?" Cassia finally broke the silence. "She probably thinks we had sex?" Martinez inhaled lightly, rubbing his
The kitchen was quiet except for the soft sizzle of eggs in the pan. Darvan moved efficiently, plating the toast and pouring tea into a cup. He wasn’t sure why he was doing this...maybe it was a moment of guilt, or maybe he just felt like doing something different today. By the time he finished, S
Cassia stood frozen in Martinez’s embrace, her mind struggling to process his words. His breath was warm against her ears as he hugged her from behind, his grip firm yet trembling. Love? He loved her? Really? Slowly, she lifted her hands, unsure if she should comfort him or pull away. This wasn
Cassia’s fingers tightened around Henry’s arm as she helped him straighten. His sudden persistence felt off. She had been approached by aspiring designers before, but never like this. "You don’t have to kneel," she muttered gently with a tight smile. Henry straightened up, brushing imaginary du
