"Is that the future where you win the election?" I asked.

"With your support—and your funding—I'll make it happen."

"And what if that's not enough?" I countered.

"Oh, trust me, it will be more than enough. With you on my side, it'll suffice. As long as you honor our agreement..."

I caught a chance to twist his words into something amusing.

"Do you mean the agreement you had with a dead man? Because my father is lying in that casket, waiting to be buried... and his widow is over there, crying over her loss." I couldn't help the slight smile that curled on my lips as I said it.

He looked at me, and his smile mirrored mine in a way that sent shivers down my spine.

"Agreements with women are insignificant. As insignificant as they are, let's not bring up your mother in our negotiations from now on. Do I have your word?"

"Mark!" Victoria approached us, playing the role of the grieving widow. "He left me! Lawrence has abandoned me!"

"He's in a place without suffering now, Victoria..

    Lawrence Lewis's P.O.V.I was so lost holding Sara in my arms, my face buried against her chest, that I didn't even realize—until far too late—that I had literally pressed my nose between her breasts. The realization hit me like a truck, and I pulled back abruptly, mortified at how inappropriate I had been. Clearing my throat, I leaned back against the wall, trying to compose myself."How did you know I was here?" I asked.Sara settled down beside me, sitting on the floor in the same position as me, her knees bent and arms resting on them."You used to hide here when you were a kid," she said casually. "When I asked around and no one knew where you were, I decided to sneak into places I wasn't supposed to."It was embarrassing how easy I was to read for her. At the same time, it was comforting. Sara remembered things about me—details that no one else seemed to care about. With her, I felt important to someone who didn't need me for money, power, or obligation."You guessed right,

    Sara had been right. If that will placed me above even Victoria, I wouldn't have to bow to anyone anymore—not even her. It would mark a clear before and after in the power Victoria wielded over my life.If that happened, her threats against Sara would lose all their weight."A-and... how's Emma? Is her stomach any better?" Sara asked suddenly, feigning casual indifference. She let go of me as she spoke, clearly changing the subject.I frowned, confused. How did Sara even know about Emma's health? How much did she know about her bulimia? And why bring it up now?"How do you know about that?" I asked, my voice sharp with suspicion.Sara looked at me with a mix of fear and pain in her expression."So... it's true?" she whispered softly."True? What are you talking about? That she—""Did you get her pregnant?" Sara interrupted, her voice trembling.I blinked slowly, replaying her words in my head. The confusion hit me like a wall. Ridiculous confusion. Yet, underneath it all, I fe

    “I have a name, ma’am,” Sara muttered, defiant as ever toward my mother.“I wasn’t playing hide-and-seek. I needed some time alone,” I said, my exhaustion evident.“Alone? That’s obvious,” Victoria replied sharply, her gaze slicing toward Sara. “You should be with your fiancée right now. And you, Sara, you are not welcome in this house nor at my late husband’s burial. Would you kindly leave?”Sara pressed her lips together, clearly swallowing the urge to hurl insults at Victoria. Instead, she turned to leave without a fight, which wasn’t fair. She hadn’t come into this den of wolves for herself—it had been for me. Before she could step away, I caught her by the arm.“Sara is welcome anywhere I am,” I said firmly. “If she wishes to accompany me to my father’s burial, then that’s exactly what will happen.”My words set Victoria ablaze with fury.“She will not! You’ll have to go through your mother before—”“Could you just shut up for once, Victoria?” I snapped, my voice cutting th

    I had heard about Lawrence's father's death last night, and ever since, I'd barely been able to sleep. My mind kept circling back to how Lawrence must be feeling after such a loss. The relationship between Lawrence and his father had been far from simple or good, but I knew Lawrence had spent his entire life trying to please his father and earn his attention.There were so many times during the night when I almost texted or called him, but every time, I stopped myself. I didn't know how he'd react. I didn't even know what to say. Showing up at the Lewis mansion in the middle of the night wasn't exactly a safe or reasonable idea either.So, I waited for the appropriate moment—attending the funeral. That, at least, would be socially acceptable and would respect the boundaries Lawrence had imposed between us. I dressed carefully in mourning attire, the kind that wouldn't raise eyebrows but was also practical enough for running, kicking, or fighting, if necessary. You never knew what to

    Jason and I deserved awards for how well we faked normalcy among the circling vultures. During one of my rounds, I spotted a smaller vulture—Julian. I immediately turned my back to avoid being caught."Sara? Is that you?" he called out.I cursed silently and was forced to face him. My polite mask was firmly in place, but it slipped quickly when I saw him up close. His eyes were red, his expression strained. My memories of Julian, one of the twins, were nothing but annoying—those two had tormented my patience endlessly. But today was different. Their tyrannical father was gone."My... condolences, Julian," I managed to say.He tried to give me one of his trademark indifferent smiles, but it didn't land."Why don't you save your condolences for Lawrence? He's the one you're really looking for," he said.Without thinking, my hand shot up to his cheek, pinching it hard. There was barely any baby fat left on his face, but the gesture was muscle memory."You insolent brat..." I growle

    Let's just say that if Victoria had a shotgun, I wouldn't have survived the day. She didn't stop glaring at me like I was the devil himself even though all I did was stand next to Lawrence. I kept my distance—no touching, nothing that could even remotely be considered inappropriate—but her death stares didn't relent.After the priest's final words, the coffin was lowered into the ground. I could see the tension in Lawrence's chest ease, like a weight he'd carried for years was finally being buried. Slowly, people began to leave, offering their condolences to the immediate family as they went.I took the opportunity to step away from Lawrence and tried calling Jason, but there was no answer. That alone was strange, but what was even stranger was that I hadn't seen Emma anywhere."Are they still together? Does that mean things went really well... or really badly?" The mixture of triumph and dread was dizzying."Your bodyguard hasn't checked in?" Lawrence asked, his voice drawing me o

    Emma White's P.O.V.I didn't hear the empty words my mother kept murmuring while she massaged my hair. My body was far too drained to care. All I wanted was to stay in this bathtub for hours, sinking into the warm water. My marriage to Lawrence was practically a certainty now, and the chains dragging me down felt heavier than ever."Ma'am! Ma'am!" one of our maids shouted, bursting into the bathroom."Calm down, May. Don't run like that—you could fall," my mother chided, though her tone held more irritation than concern."I'm sorry, ma'am, but this is very important," May insisted.To me, nothing seemed as important as watching strands of my hair swirl in the water. I was losing so much of it these days that even my stylist had started to worry. My mother, too. Whatever she was rubbing into my scalp was supposed to help stop the shedding, though it felt like too little, too late."What's so important?" my mother asked with a weary sigh."He's dead!

    "Speak," Mark said, waving a hand as someone handed him a glass of whiskey."It would be in terrible taste to hold a wedding so soon after the death of the groom's father," my mother began carefully. "I've been discussing this with the planners, and we all agree it would be wise to return to the original date—"She didn't get to finish. Mark hurled the glass against the wall behind us, shattering it with a deafening crash. The sound startled us both, and the glass passed so close to us that we couldn't help but cry out in fear. The nearby staff began to retreat quietly—trained to disappear when my father became like this."I don't give a damn about terrible taste!" Mark roared. "That wedding will happen on the scheduled date!"He advanced toward my mother in a way that made my stomach twist. She was trembling but didn't step back. I couldn't just stand there."But Father..." I stammered, trying to steady my voice. "What if Lawrence doesn't want to marry me on that date? It's not o

    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,
