"They killed him? He didn't... He didn't commit suicide? You admit it?" I asked, my voice cracking under the weight of the revelation."It was a threat... those people, they're dangerous. I didn't... I never meant..." Serge stammered."And you didn't think, even for a second, that it could have been me they found dead? That I could've been the one if I had accepted your shares, Dad?" My heart shattered as the words left my mouth.Serge looked at me, a mixture of guilt and desperation in his eyes. I couldn't tell if I should pity him or despise him. His ambition and thirst for power had brought him here—dragging our entire family down with him. I could hardly stand to call him my father."I never thought they'd go that far... you have to understand, Marianne. Dominic didn't understand, but you will. In business, you do what you have to do. We have so many employees depending on us and so many futures at stake. How could I just stand by and let everything fall apart?""Oh, so now yo

I kept biting my thumb nail, pacing up and down the hallway of this clinic. Still, no one had given me any news about Serge's condition. After I had called for help, an ambulance rushed us here. And by "us", I meant that I wasn't alone. There was a police officer standing in the corner, keeping watch in case my father tried to escape.Regardless, I doubted he could escape in his current state. The doctors said he had had a hemorrhagic stroke, and they were doing everything they could. So yes, he was alive—but I had no idea what condition he would be in when, or if, he left this place."Hey, girl..." Jenna rushed toward me, pulling me into a tight hug, which I returned. "How's your dad? What have the doctors said? I came as fast as I could. The office is a disaster.""They're treating him. He had a stroke," I explained, utterly exhausted.Jenna gasped in shock and concern, rubbing my arms in a gesture of comfort."Poor man. Dominic's death and the company audit must've pushed him t

"Where is he? Where's Dad?" Amanda asked frantically, bouncing her crying daughter in her arms, trying to soothe her."He's inside. All they've told me is that he had a stroke," I replied, my voice flat from exhaustion."Is he going to die? Is he going to leave us alone?" she sobbed, unable to hold back her tears.A deep wave of sympathy welled up in me as I looked at Amanda. She looked so lost, so vulnerable."You're not alone, Amanda. What about your mom... or Andrew?" I asked even though I knew both were terrible options. Still, one was her mother, and the other, well, I'd like to think he cared at least a little for their daughter."Andrew is with his lawyers, and I don't know where my mom is. She's not answering my calls or texts. I was alone while the police searched Dad's office. They even gave me a search warrant," she cried even harder, and so did the baby."They searched your house too? Are you sure you tried calling her enough?" Jenna chimed in, trying to offer some re

"I know our relationship hasn't exactly been great this past week, but could you please set your frustration aside and explain to me what's going on?" I asked as the elevator doors opened.Lucius stormed out without answering, leaving me staring after him, frustrated by his silence. We both entered the apartment, and he headed straight for our bedroom, disappearing into the closet. I gathered every ounce of patience I could muster."What are you doing, you maniac?" I demanded.Lucius emerged from the closet with a suitcase and an armful of clothes. He threw the suitcase onto the bed, opened it, and began shoving my clothes inside."Amelia has disappeared. She must've gone to the Kramers," he finally said."Weren't they watching her? How did she slip away?" I asked, shocked."She went into New Century and never came back out. Left her car there. We suspect they extracted her in another vehicle," he explained, his tone tight."That witch... she really is something. Wait, is that m

"Do you really want us to leave together? Are you ready to give up everything for me?" he asked, still in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing."If you come with me, yes. I'll go anywhere, just don't leave me," I assured him.He finally understood that I wasn't joking. A small glimmer of hope flickered across his face, and I was sure it mirrored my own. I had reached a point where I couldn't imagine my life without Lucius, where the mere thought of living without him felt like a death sentence. I loved him deeply, and while I wasn't sure if what he felt for me was love, I knew his feelings were strong. I didn't know if this was the right thing to do, but I was willing to take the risk.Lucius went back to the closet and grabbed another suitcase, this time filling it with his clothes. That was my green light to pack my essentials. We hurried, stuffing our lives into two carry-on bags, and within minutes, we were racing down to the parking garage.We jumped into t

Four years later.It wasn't easy to understand why people leave your life, taking with them the memories of what you shared and the dreams of what will never be. The pain of abandonment would never truly disappear; it would just find a quiet corner in your heart. Sometimes, you would be reminded it was still there, while other times, you managed to forget it for the day.Today, like every year, I woke up with the familiar heaviness that came with the anniversary of Lucius's departure. A stray tear slipped down my cheek as I prepared my morning coffee.I'd long given up hope that he would ever come back, and I'd moved on as best as I could. As I did every year on this date, I told myself it was for the best. The peaceful routine I'd built over the past few years was proof of that, a life rebuilt from the ashes of what Fairmount Corporation had become.The scandal had engulfed the company and many others like it. It was a domino effect that eventually caught up with SMB, too. Their c

I wouldn't say that I'd forgiven Amanda nor that I gave her any kind of refuge—just the little one. Amanda visited occasionally, and Alice knew she was her mother. She made sure to send money every month to cover Alice's expenses. The plan was for her to take Alice back one day... That was the plan."We're going to be late," I said, checking the clock. "Do you want to wear your hair down today or should I tie it up?""Tie it up. It's too hot," she complained, grabbing at her hair."Then go get the brush and your hair ties. Let's go," I said, giving her a gentle pat on the back as she dashed off to her room.I finished making my coffee, prepared Alice's lunchbox, and took a few bites of toast. A moment later, she came back with her favorite hairbrush and ties. I started braiding her hair in front of the TV in the living room, where the morning news was playing."In a joint operation with INTERPOL, Amelia Fairmount was apprehended at Verona-Villafranca Airport in Italy..."My head

My weekdays usually went like this: I'd wake up early to make breakfast for Alice and myself, drive her to preschool, and then head to work. I had landed a well-paying job at a company where I'd been for a couple of years. For now, I was working in the Human Resources department.After work, I'd pick Alice up from one of the extracurricular activities I'd signed her up for—partly to give me time to finish my day. Once home, we'd make dinner together because, if there was one thing I could say about that little girl, it was that she was disciplined and obedient. She was an angel.Unfortunately, our routine had been interrupted by the unresolved issue with my car. It had been in the shop for about a week now, and I wasn't thrilled about having to rely on Matt for rides, though he offered willingly. Anyone looking after kids knows that you never turn down help.So, here we were, watching Alice wave goodbye to us as her teacher led her into preschool. She was blowing kisses as though sh

Sara Brown's P.O.V."Didn't we agree you wouldn't come, Mom?" Richard asked, his voice low and disappointed."Richard, you too?" Victoria exclaimed, her voice trembling with a mix of hurt and indignation."What else did you expect, Victoria?" Julian interjected, crossing his arms. "We practically had to beg Sara for permission just to see Matthew. Meanwhile, you've done nothing to make amends yet here you are, demanding things. That's not how this works.""Do you want me to apologize to Sara?" Victoria's voice cracked as she looked at me, her emotions on full display.I would never trust Victoria, and I certainly would never leave my son alone with her unsupervised. But in this moment, her vulnerability chipped away at some of my hardened resolve. Life had been so good lately, so full of joy and love, that my heart no longer had room for resentment."You don't need to apologize to me," I said calmly. "The people you owe an apology to are your sons."Victoria's eyes widened, her

Sara Brown's P.O.V.Six months later.Becoming a mother was one of those adventures I never knew I needed, but I'd never been more grateful for taking the leap—especially with Lawrence by my side. Now, here we were, standing in front of a flower-draped altar nestled in the woods of the Brown family estate.Getting married in this spot felt symbolic. It had been our sanctuary as kids, the place where we'd escaped from the grown-ups and shared secrets. It was fitting that my best friend, the boy who'd been by my side through thick and thin, was now becoming my husband.Behind us was a small gathering of family and close friends. The Browns—ever-expanding with a small army of kids—were all present, as were a handful of Lawrence's relatives, including his brothers, Richard and Julian. We'd kept the guest list to just sixty people, making this a more intimate celebration than anyone would've expected from a Brown-Lewis wedding.Still, it was perfect. Everyone we loved was here. And the

I looked at our baby's tiny face, and the urge to cry overwhelmed me again. He was absolutely perfect."Are you going to keep crying?" Sara teased with a mischievous grin. "If you don't stop, I won't give you another one."I wiped my tears immediately, not wanting to take any chances. She burst out laughing, her radiant energy filling the room."So," quickly shifting topics, she leaned forward slightly, "what are we naming him? We agreed we'd know when we saw him. I've got a name from the shortlist in mind. Do you?""I do," I replied, smiling."Okay, let's say it together," she suggested, and I nodded. "On three. One, two, three—""Matthew!" we both exclaimed in unison.We stared at each other before breaking into matching grins. Sara started clapping in excitement over our perfect sync. I laughed at her enthusiasm, but something on the hospital TV caught my attention—a news report about yesterday's gubernatorial election. Images of Isabelle, the winner, flashed across the scree

Lawrence Lewis's P.O.V.Three months later...Just when I thought I couldn't be any happier with Sara loving me, life proved me wrong. Every day felt like a new peak of joy. A few months ago, I believed I had reached the ultimate high when she accepted my proposal during our trip to Finland. I'd asked her under the northern lights in a private and intimate moment, just the two of us—just like our entire relationship had been.The fallout from canceling my engagement to Emma had been relatively manageable for me. There were no financial or legal repercussions, and I narrowly escaped the disgrace of almost becoming the son-in-law of a criminal like Mark. But to say I avoided all drama would be a lie. The rumors and gossip surrounding how Sara and I had gotten together were relentless.I was usually a calm man, but any criticism aimed at Sara, accusing her of "breaking up" my previous engagement, turned me into a beast. Sara would always tell me to ignore the noise, that only we knew

I stood there frozen, feeling every gaze lock onto me. It was as if time had stopped. No one spoke, no one moved—they just stared. Sweat started trickling down places I didn’t even know could sweat.“Hi… how’s everyone doing?” I asked, my voice hesitant.I braced myself for the shouting, the dramatic exclamations, the scolding even. Instead, the extroverted ones in the room simply smiled at me while the quieter ones went back to what they were doing, almost as if nothing had happened. The initial wave of attention just… evaporated.“As I was saying,” Uncle Lucius continued, picking up right where he’d left off, “if you don’t finish your vegetables, we’ll give them to the lion in the forest.”My jaw dropped. This table—the entire Brown family—was completely unfazed. Even Lawrence had that knowing smile on his face, almost as if he’d expected this exact reaction. Before I could recover, Aunt Lucia and Aunt Marianne came over and pulled me into tight hugs.“You look gorgeous, Sara. A

Richard's voice broke the silence as he gathered his courage. "We'd like to add Duke and Monarch for me, and the boat for Julian. With that, we'll be ready to sign the agreement."I rubbed my ears, almost certain I had misheard."The horses and the boat? That's all you want?" Lawrence asked, his tone tinged with disbelief."Yes," Julian confirmed, his voice hesitant. "We believe... they're of great sentimental value to us. And they were gifts. They just... weren't officially transferred to us."Lawrence's eyes darted between them as if trying to confirm whether these were the same brothers he'd been fighting with."That's it?" he repeated, his suspicion evident."That's it," Richard said, though his discomfort was plain to see."What are you two plotting?" Lawrence asked, narrowing his eyes.The twins exchanged confused glances."Nothing?" Julian said, his tone growing defensive. "What are you plotting? You told us you wouldn't give us anything but then sent this offer out of

I couldn't help but notice the sadness etched onto Lawrence's face. He'd always said he wouldn't give his brothers anything. Yet here he was, not only offering them a portion of the inheritance but also bracing himself for their inevitable demands and negotiating with them."Wouldn't it have been easier to just offer them exactly what you were willing to give from the start?" I asked as I leaned against his shoulder, wrapping my arms around him. His sadness was palpable, and it was breaking my heart. Just moments ago, he'd been so happy. "Just say 'Take it or leave it' and then forget about them."Lawrence sighed, his gaze distant. "I know them. And I know myself. I can't lay the blame for all my hardships on them like I do with Victoria. Despite what I said during the will reading, I know they deserve more than what my father left them.""You have a heart of gold, Ren," I murmured, kissing his cheek. "Don't let those brats melt it down, okay?"He chuckled softly, though his sadnes

I swayed my hips rhythmically against his body, the two of us joined in that intimate connection we'd rediscovered nearly every night since the chaos with a certain corrupt official had come to an end.As Lawrence neared his release, he called my name, his voice rough with passion. I teased him by sucking on the thumb he'd slipped into my mouth, which was all it took for him to shut his eyes tightly as the force of his climax overtook him. I followed him into that blissful release just a moment later.Utterly satisfied, I collapsed beside him on the bed, both of us completely naked, basking in the warmth of each other's bodies. My breathing was still ragged as Lawrence shifted closer, his hands roaming gently over my hair, my chest, and finally, my stomach. The way his hand lingered there told me exactly what he was about to ask—again."Are you sure you're comfortable with this?" he asked."No. It was terrible. I never want to have another orgasm for the rest of my life," I replied

"What's going on here?" I asked Sara suspiciously."Just go with the flow," she replied, opening my car door with a grin.I hesitated but decided to follow her advice—or at least try. After exchanging cheek kisses, I walked over to where Jason was waiting. I tucked the envelope with my test results into my pocket. As I reached him, he took my hand, and we started walking up a hill in the park."When did you ask Sara to bring me here?" I asked, curious."That's a secret," he said with a chuckle. "And since you two are such close friends now—""Close friends?" I interrupted, raising a brow. "You think we're really friends?""That's how it seems. You smile a lot when you're with her," he replied."Do I?" I considered it for a moment, warmth spreading through my chest. "Maybe we are."Jason smiled but kept silent. As we climbed one of the hills, I was taken aback by the breathtaking view of the city spread before us. But even more surprising was the blanket laid out on the ground,
