This situation wasn't just interesting—it was downright bizarre. Jason and Emma sat on one side of the room while Lawrence and I occupied the other. The silence between us was as thick as tension itself, and our postures gave away everything we weren't saying.

I could confidently say that Emma and I were far more uncomfortable than anything else while the men looked ready to kill each other with their glares alone. It was like a silent battle of wills, and neither of them was backing down.

Since no one seemed willing to speak, it looked like I'd have to be the one to break the ice and figure out why these two lovebirds had come here together. After all, I'd given Jason time off—he wasn't even supposed to be working today.

"Well?" I began with a strained smile. "What's the main topic of today's little gathering?"

"Um... primarily," Emma started hesitantly, glancing nervously at Lawrence, "it's about how you, Lawrence, will officially cancel our engagement and wedding."

    "I know better than anyone," Lawrence said, his hands moving to rest on my waist. "But I already have enough on my plate with stepping out of my mother's shadow and protecting you and our child in the process. Didn't you tell me to send everything to hell and do whatever I wanted now that I'm likely the primary heir to my father's estate? That's what I'm trying to do.""I did tell you that, yes," I admitted, my tone softening. "But I meant for you to send your manipulative mother and your overly suspicious brothers to hell—not to risk Jason and Emma's lives in the process.""I'm not putting anyone's life at risk," Lawrence countered, his voice firm. "That marriage is an agreement between Mark and my parents. Not me. That man can't force me to marry his daughter—not when I'm now the head of my family.""I know...""Do you? Because it doesn't seem like you do. Why do you care so much about what happens to Jason?" Lawrence's tone was laced with something unfamiliar—jealousy.I blinke

    Lawrence Lewis's P.O.V.This past week had been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride—a ride I desperately wanted to get off. Unfortunately, that desire was far from becoming reality. From my brothers declaring war over the inheritance, to my father's death, to reconciling with Sara and receiving the most beautiful news of my life... it had been a whirlwind.Hearing Sara tell me she loved me and finding out we were having a child together had lifted me to heaven, but my family, ever relentless, had grabbed me by the ankles and dragged me straight back to hell.And hell was exactly where I was now—buried under mountains of paperwork at my father's office desk. For the past 12, maybe 13 hours, I'd been poring over two years' worth of company records.The findings were anything but encouraging. The faint shred of optimism I'd clung to had been crushed. The more I uncovered, the more I realized the labyrinth of my father's financial dealings was riddled with dirt. If these schemes were

    "A stone in your path? That's all I am to you," Victoria replied, her tone lofty and dismissive."You're the only stone in my path, Victoria. You always have been. Even after losing my father, you continue to be the root of all my problems. What's worse is that you pretend not to know it," I shot back, my voice edged with frustration.Victoria's expression faltered, something I rarely saw. She took a step back, her lashes fluttering as though trying to blink away the words. She stiffened, her features remaining unnervingly composed, but her retreat was unmistakable. She turned her back on me, her heels clicking against the floor as she made her way to the door."Don't be late," she commanded before leaving the room.I exhaled heavily, the weight of the exchange pressing down on me.-I wasn't sure what was worse—digging through endless files to figure out what dealings my father had with Mark or enduring this farce of a dinner at Mark's house. The air in the dining room was thick

    "I wanted to confirm my daughter's honesty," Mark began, swirling his drink with calculated ease. "In these times, a father's ability to trust his child has become a rare luxury.""Perhaps it's because trust from fathers in their children has also been lost," I replied, taking a seat across from him. My tone was calm, but I refused to mask the underlying challenge in my words.Mark smiled faintly, leaning back in his chair like a man who had all the time in the world."You'll come to understand the importance of keeping your family in order—your wife and children especially. That often involves removing the weeds that could damage the garden's harmony.""If you'd get to the point, we could save each other a lot of time," I said flatly."I've noticed that someone close to you has taken it upon themselves to employ one of my former workers," he said, finally cutting to the chase."I have many friends, and you have many former employees," I responded, feigning ignorance as I leaned

    Our plan to dismantle Mark and Victoria was ambitious, risky even, but I believed it was exactly what we needed. Each of us had a role to play: Lawrence and Emma would handle the internal battles while Jason and I focused on external maneuvers.Jason was rushing toward the entrance of the Brown mansion as I stood waiting, my laptop bag slung over my arm. I'd just arrived myself and was eager to hear what he had discovered."I hope your delay is justified. What did you find on Mark?" I greeted him with a slight smile."Apologies for being late, Miss Sara," Jason replied, still catching his breath. "I'm afraid I didn't find much that's actionable—mostly dead ends.""That can't be true," I muttered, biting my lip. "What sort of dead ends? Explain it to me."Jason glanced around the room, but aside from a few staff members bustling about with preparations for lunch, we were alone. The Brown mansion was always alive with activity, a self-contained ecosystem where the staff moved in sea

    Jason shot me a sideways glance, and I returned it, both of us silently searching for an excuse."Well, Uncle..." I started hesitantly. "Let's just say... I doubt that's still your area of expertise with your... current condition.""My current condition?" he echoed, clearly offended.The answer to his question arrived with a chorus of chaotic footsteps approaching from the garden. There they were: Leana, Luna, and Layla, my uncle's three daughters. Dressed like princesses, their gowns were smeared with dirt, and Leana was sporting a Spider-Man mask. The two younger ones clung to Lucius's legs the moment they reached him."Daddy! I want ice cream!" Luna demanded, her tone just as demanding as her little fists.Without warning, Layla began gnawing on the sleeve of his sweater. My uncle tried to maintain some semblance of dignity, attempting to calm them down—or at least appear in control in front of us. But his daughters were a whirlwind, and they were far too much.Leana, however,

    I hadn't expected my uncles to support my plan immediately, but unity is strength, and they were seasoned businessmen. Uncle Leonardo, now the head of the family, had faced many temptations yet managed to remain uncorrupted—a fact I deeply admired. Uncle Lucius, on the other hand, was a master of networking and negotiation. I might tease him about his far-fetched stories and questionable decisions, but one thing was certain: when he entered a deal, he rarely lost. Except, of course, in his battle against Marianne's fertility—three kids later, it was clear he had waved the white flag there.As the two debated the feasibility of my plan, I glanced toward Jason, who seemed entirely unbothered by the gravity of the situation. His focus was on his phone, his thumbs moving rapidly across the screen. I leaned slightly to the side, curiosity getting the better of me. Was he texting Emma? From this angle, I could see enough to confirm my suspicions.Jason caught my gaze, his eyes meeting mine

    Lucius was practically rubbing his hands together in excitement over my proposal. Uncle Leonardo, who normally avoided risk like the plague, was still deep in thought, carefully weighing the dangers against the benefits."What role do I play in this plan?" Leonardo asked, his tone measured."Diplomacy and strategy, of course," I explained confidently. "It's not just about attacking Mark's campaign; it's about strengthening one of his opponents. Your support could tip the scales and significantly reduce his chances of winning."Leonardo gave me a look—half amused, half incredulous—like I was still a mischievous child. Maybe I was still mischievous, but I had certainly outgrown being a child. I pulled out my iPad and navigated to the profile I'd prepared, handing it to him. He took it skeptically."Isabelle Silver.

    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,
