Victor’s POV

Pain exploded across my face. The metallic tang of blood still filled my mouth. My ears rang, the gasps of the crowd blending into a dull roar.

I couldn’t believe Alexander had the nerve.

“She’s unconscious, and this is what you care about?” My voice was raw, but I didn’t care. I wiped the blood from my chin and straightened, locking eyes with him. “You can hit me all you want, but it won’t change the truth. You did this. You destroyed her.”

Alexander lunged for me again, but Isla grabbed his arm. “Stop it!” she screamed. “This isn’t helping!”

He hesitated, breathing heavily, his entire body shaking with tension. Then he turned back to Elena, still limp in his arms, her face pale against his dark suit. A fresh wave of fear flashed across his expression. The fight left his body instantly.

“Where the hell is that ambulance?” he barked.

Just then, the shrill sound of sirens cut through the chaos.

Mia’s POV

I barely let the driver park before I was sprinting toward the entr

    Alexander’s POVThe moment George Spears stormed into the hospital, I knew hell was about to break loose. I had plotted all these without a single thought of what their reactions would be.“Murdering bastard!” His voice boomed through the sterile white hallway, sending a ripple of tension through the room.Before I could react, Mia darted toward him. “Mr. Spears, wait—”But he didn’t wait. He dodged her, his large frame cutting through the space between us like a charging bull. In seconds, his hands were on me, his fingers wrapping around my collar before slamming me back against the nearest wall.“Where’s my daughter you monster ! If anything happens to my daughter, you’re good as dead!” he growled, his grip tightening.Security rushed forward, trying to pull him off me, but the man was relentless. I could feel his fury, the sheer desperation in his eyes. And for the first time in a long time, I didn’t fight back, I couldn’t fight back, he was my father in-law.“I’m a monster and you

    Victor’s POVThe room was cold. Too sterile, too lifeless for someone like Elena to be lying in it.She looked fragile, paler than I had ever seen her, her long dark hair fanned across the pillows in disarray. Her lips, once so full of life, were slightly parted as if she had been about to say something before exhaustion overtook her. Dark circles shadowed her eyes, a cruel testament to everything she had endured. Even in her unconscious state, there was a slight furrow in her brows, as though she was still fighting a battle in her mind.The sight of her like this made something in my chest tighten painfully.I didn’t realize I had stopped moving until the doctor glanced at me.“Mr. Langley?” he said, his voice quiet but firm.I blinked and forced myself forward, following him inside.Elena’s eyes fluttered open at the sound of our entrance. Slowly, her gaze found me.There was no warmth in them. No relief. Just a void of exhaustion and something else something that made my stomach tw

    Isla’s POV I felt the weight of the room shift.All eyes were on me.Elena was still lying in bed, pale and weak, her father by her side with tears running down his face. Mia stood close to her, gripping her hand. Alexander… well, he stood at a distance, silent and stiff, like a ghost haunting the very room. The tension was suffocating, heavy enough to crush the air from my lungs.But the second I saw the name flashing on my screen Victoria I knew I couldn’t answer here.I swallowed hard and forced a neutral expression. “I need to take this,” I muttered, my voice carefully even.Without waiting for a response, I turned on my heels and walked out of the ward, my pulse hammering in my ears.The hallway outside was dim, the overhead fluorescent lights casting an eerie glow against the white walls. The faint sounds of hospital equipment beeping echoed through the corridor, but my focus was entirely on the phone clutched in my hand.I glanced over my shoulder, ensuring no one had followed

    Elena’s POVMia’s grip on my hand tightened as she leaned in, her voice soft yet firm. “You both don’t have to talk about this now, Elena. You need to rest.”I opened my mouth to protest, but the doctor, standing at the foot of my bed, gave me a look that left no room for argument.“She’s right,” he said, flipping through the clipboard in his hands. “Your body has been through significant stress, and pushing yourself now will only make things worse.”I swallowed hard, frustration clawing at my chest. Rest? How was I supposed to rest when my entire life was crumbling around me? When everything I thought I knew had shattered into a million pieces?“When can I leave again?” My voice came out hoarse, edged with exhaustion.“Tomorrow morning,” the doctor replied. “We’ll run a final check-up, and if everything looks stable, you’ll be discharged.”Tomorrow. That felt like an eternity.“You need to sleep, Elena,” Mia pressed, her eyes full of concern.I exhaled sharply, about to argue again,

Sleep had been a distant luxury, my mind tangled with unanswered questions and a gnawing sense of uncertainty.A gentle knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts. The doctor entered, his expression calm yet professional as he approached my bed. “Good morning, Elena. How are you feeling?”“Tired,” I admitted, my voice hoarse. “But I just want to go home.”He nodded, flipping through the clipboard in his hands. “Understandable. Before we discharge you, we need to run a final check-up and discuss some important things about your pregnancy.”I swallowed hard, my hand instinctively resting on my stomach. It still felt surreal this new reality that I had yet to fully accept.The doctor moved closer, setting his clipboard aside. “I’m going to check your vitals first.” He wrapped the blood pressure cuff around my

You have no right to show up after everything you’ve done,” Mia shot back, arms crossed over her chest.Alexander exhaled sharply, pinching the bridge of his nose before looking directly at her. “I just need to talk to Elena. I’m not leaving until I do.”Mia let out a bitter laugh. “Talk? Now you want to talk? After lying to her, after everything you put her through?” She shook her head. “You don’t get to waltz in and pretend you care.”Alexander’s jaw tightened. “I’ve never stopped caring.”“Oh, please,” Mia scoffed. “You think showing up here proves anything? She deserved the truth, and you kept it from her. And now you expect us to just let you in? You’ve don’t more harm than good “.He took a deep breath, his patience visibly thinning. “Mia, I don’t owe you an explanatio

Then, something snapped. “You broke the contract,” he hissed, his voice trembling with anger.I frowned. “What?”“Our agreement.” He took a step forward, his tall frame looming over me. “One of the conditions was no extramarital affairs, Elena.”My stomach twisted.

Her red lips curved into a slow, knowing smile as soon as she saw me.“Victoria?” I called out this time “Alexander,” she purred, standing up, her silk dress clinging to her body in a way that was clearly intentional. “It’s been a while.”I clenched my jaw, my muscles stiff. “What the hell are you doing here?”She tilted her head, a feigned look of innocence crossing her face. “Is that how you greet an old friend?”I turned to the maid, my tone sharp. “Why did you let her in?”Before the maid could stammer out a response, Victoria stepped forward smoothly, pulling out her phone. “Oh common Alexander, I’m family and besides, because of this.”She tapped the screen and turned it toward me. A childhood photo filled the display her family standing side by side with mine. My parents. Her parents. And the two of us, much

    Victoria’s POVIt was a few days after Alexander and his little play team ruined my life. The walls of my penthouse felt smaller now, everything felt different, my life had changed for bad.The curtains were open, but the light didn’t touch me. I hadn’t eaten since the arrest. I hadn’t slept either. I’d been staring at the TV, waiting for them to say my father had been released. That something could be done, but there was nothing, I had made several calls and no one seemed to help, they said the allegations were true and heavy on him. All our connections had failed us, my life was in shambles.Just while I was lost in thoughts, there was a knock at the door.Then another.I wasn’t expecting anyone but I opened the door.Adrian.He stood there, in his black coat, hands in his pockets, face calm like he hadn’t just helped destroy everything I had ever built.“You have a lot of nerve,” I snapped, stepping aside to let him in, only because I didn’t want the neighbors to hear the screaming

    Elena’s POvI don’t know what possessed me to come here. Maybe it was closure. Maybe it was vengeance.Maybe it was both.And at the center of it all, Victoria Greenwood.She stood at the stage, her red dress flowing like a curtain of blood. She held the microphone with an effortless grace, and when the lights focused on her, the applause was thunderous.“Good evening, darlings,” she began, her voice silk and venom. “First, thank you all for coming tonight. It means the world to me that I get to celebrate with each of you—those I love, admire, and aspire to collaborate with. Tonight isn’t just about glamour—though, let’s be honest, I’m killing it.” Laughter rippled across the room.She winked. “But really, this is about gratitude. For those who have believed in me, supported me, and paved the way… especially one very special man—my amazing father.”The applause returned, louder this time. And then he emerged.Mr. Greenwood Stones.A walking headline in a sleek tux, polished shoes, and

    Victoria’s POVMy phone hadn’t stopped ringing all morning. It was my birthday today, my big day!“Is the floral arrangement in place? I want the cherry blossoms centered—nothing else,” I snapped into the phone, pacing across the marble floor of my apartment. The mirrored panels along the hallway reflected my anxious expression as I turned the corner into my bedroom, where my evening dress lay spread across the bed like a silent promise.I hung up the call before the planner could ask another question and immediately dialed Isla.She picked up on the second ring. “Hey, babe! Big night!” she chirped.“I hope you’re looking stunning. I don’t want to be the only jaw-dropper walking that red carpet tonight.”Isla giggled. “Trust me, I’m going full glam. I’ve got that bejeweled emerald gown you love—hair slicked back, high heels tall enough to break necks.”“That’s the spirit,” I smiled, easing into the chaise by the window. “This night’s going to be perfect. Dad says he even has a surpris

    Elena’s POV“What exactly do you mean by that ?” I asked turning to Adrian.Adrian leaned forward, his piercing blue eyes reflecting a lifetime of calculated decisions. “Victoria’s birthday celebration is tomorrow, correct?” His Russian accent added a gravitas to his words this time, making every syllable feel like a decree.Alexander nodded, his jaw tightening. “Yes. She had even sent a reminder just last night, she’s always extravagant with her celebrations. The city’s elite will be in attendance.”A slow, predatory smile spread across Adrian’s face. “Then it’s the perfect stage for our performance.”I shifted in my seat, the weight of the situation pressing down on me. “Performance?”Adrian’s gaze met mine, unwavering. “A public unmasking. We expose Greenwoods for the charlatan he is, in front of his peers, his allies, his world, we make them see what humiliation feels like.”The audacity of the plan sent a shiver down my spine. The idea of confronting such a powerful figure in a p

    Elena’s POVThe following morning came quicker than I expected. I hadn’t even taken a full sip of my coffee before I heard the soft knock at the door.Mia peeked out the window first, then turned to me. “It’s Alexander’s driver—and I think those are his security guys too.”I sighed, placing my mug down. “He didn’t mention he was sending a whole team.”Mia raised a brow. “You surprised? It’s Alexander. He sends an army if you sneeze too loud.”I offered a faint smile and grabbed my coat. I had already texted Adrian earlier that morning, and after a few minutes of back and forth, he had sent me a location. It was a private estate just a little outside the city limits—discreet, exclusive, and of course, heavily guarded. I didn’t tell him that Alexander would be coming too. I knew it was a gamble, but something told me Adrian would understand.The drive to Alexander’s penthouse was quiet. His men barely spoke a word, but they were polite, respectful. As the gates opened and the car pulled

    Elena’s POVI had barely caught my breath when the silence between Alexander and Victor stretched thin like a worn-out thread ready to snap. The air was stiff, as though it could combust from the tension lingering in the room. Alexander’s chest rose and fell heavily beside me, still furious from everything I had just confessed to him. Victor just stood there helpless, sad, his eyes filled with regrets.Then, he spoke.“I know you hate me, Alexander,” Victor began, voice raw and cracking, “and I know I don’t deserve even a second of peace from you. But I just want you to understand one thing—I never wanted to take Elena from you or anything. Everything I felt for her was real.”I froze.Victor’s voice trembled as he stood from the couch. “I loved her genuinely. I still do.” He turned toward me, and I couldn’t move, couldn’t speak, just stared at him as his words pierced the quiet. “From the moment I saw you, Elena. Not because you were beautiful or brilliant—although you are—but becaus

    Elena’s POVI didn’t realize how long I’d been standing outside until I felt a breeze brush against my skin, cooling the spot where Alexander’s lips had just touched mine. My heart was still racing from the kiss—his kiss—and I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t even know what to feel.So I asked the only thing that made sense in the moment.“Why did we just do that?”Alexander didn’t even hesitate. His voice was calm, low, but firm.“Why wouldn’t we?” he said, eyes not leaving mine. “You’re still my wife.”I looked away. His words pierced something deep in me. Something raw. Something that hadn’t healed yet. I felt my chest tightening as I fought back the emotions swirling inside me.But it didn’t work.I broke down.The tears came so suddenly I couldn’t stop them. I turned away from him, trying to hide my face, but he reached for me gently.“Elena,” he whispered, but I couldn’t meet his gaze.“I don’t know anymore, Alexander,” I sobbed. “I don’t know how to trust you. You hurt me. Yo

    Elena’s POVThe silence that followed my words was louder than any argument we’ve ever had and then he asked again “what did you say?”“I still want a divorce,” I repeated, my voice quieter this time. Almost like I didn’t want him to hear it, but I knew he did. His chest barely moved. His eyes were locked on mine, and his lips parted, like he wanted to speak but forgot how to form words.Finally, he blinked. Once. Twice. And then… a slow exhale.“I see,” he said.I turned away, looking at the garden hedge behind him, anything but his face. “You said if you found out my father was innocent, you’d sign the papers.”His jaw tensed. “I did.”“And?”He took a step closer. “And I will.”I nodded. That should’ve made me feel relieved. But instead, it burned.He stared at me for a long time. Then his voice cracked gently through the air. “But before I do… can I say something? Please.”I didn’t speak. I didn’t nod. I just stood there. That was enough for him.He ran a hand through his hair, l

    I barely had time to react before Alexander was on his feet, his chair scraping violently against the floor. His entire frame was tense, his jaw locked in fury as he glared at Victor standing a few feet away.“What the hell is he doing here?” His voice was sharp, demanding. His eyes flicked between Victor and me, searching for an explanation, his anger barely restrained.Victor, looking just as startled as Alexander, raised his hands in defense. “I didn’t know I was going to be here either,” he said, his tone calm but firm. “Elena invited me.”Alexander’s gaze snapped to me, his expression darkening. “You invited him?”I let out a slow breath, steadying myself. “Alexander, calm down.”His glare intensified. “Don’t tell me to calm down, Elena. Do you even realize what you’re doing?”“Yes,” I said firmly. “Victor is a part of this, whether you like it or not. He is one of us.”Alexander let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head in disbelief. “A part of this? You’re joking, right?”Before
