I woke to the rhythmic beeping of monitors, the sterile smell of antiseptics making me wrinkle my nose. The world felt muted and hazy, pain radiating from my abdomen, and as I opened my eyes, I was greeted by the blinding whiteness of the hospital room. Panic set in, clawing at my chest. My baby. I tried to sit up, but the ache in my body forced me back down.
A nurse appeared beside me, her gentle hands checking my vitals. Her voice was calm, soothing, but I could hear the edge of worry in her tone. “You’re awake,” she said, her eyes kind but professional. “How are you feeling?”
I swallowed, m

SAM'S POVThe sleek, sterile elegance of Moretti Enterprises’ New York office was enough to make anyone feel small. But I wasn’t here to feel intimidated; I was here to demand justice. Jacob and I walked in with purpose, our footsteps echoing off the marble floors as we approached Luca Moretti’s imposing glass desk. The man himself sat with a smug look on his face, fingers steeped in a pose of complete confidence.

SAM'S POVMy feet felt like lead weights as I trudged through the front door, exhaustion seeping into every fiber of my being. The meeting with Luca Moretti had been nothing short of grueling—a tense game of chess, each word a move carefully calculated to maintain some semblance of control over a situation spiraling out of hand. All I wanted now was to collapse into bed, maybe find solace in the warmth of the woman I loved.Our home—no, my home—was dimly lit, golden light from the hallway sconces casting shadows on the walls. I set my keys down on the table, the faint clink echoing through the silence. A pang

NORA'S POVThe bathroom was heavy with steam, fogging up the mirrors and turning the air thick and warm. I had just broken the news to Sam, telling him I was returning to Paris the next day, and his reaction was immediate and visceral.“What do you mean you’re leaving?” he demanded, his voice cracking, a storm of emotions swirling in his eyes. He stood in the doorway, his hair disheveled, his shirt slightly wrinkled from the day’s tension. His fists clenched at his sides, but it wasn’t anger that radiated from him—it was desperation, raw and unfiltered.I pulled the towel tighter around myself, fee

NORA'S POVI stumbled out of the building, Isabella's words pounding in my head like a relentless drumbeat. “Sam doesn’t want to see you. Go back to Paris and leave him alone.” My breath came in ragged gasps, and I tried to steady myself, clutching at the railing outside the lobby as the world spun around me.My heart pounded in my chest, each beat feeling like a physical blow. Had Sam really said that? Was everything we’d fought to rebuild already crumbling apart? My vision blurred, and I felt the familiar tightening in my chest. Panic clawed at my throat, making it impossible to breathe.“Calm down,” I whispered to myself, but my voice cracked, and I sank to the cold stone steps, pressing a hand to my chest as if that could keep my heart from shattering. The city moved around me, indifferent to my pain, but I felt utterly still—frozen.Eventually, I forced myself to stand and began to walk, no destination in mind, just needing to move, to escape the suffocating dread. I wandered aim

SAM'S POVI hadn’t planned to stay at Jacob’s house all night, but after the argument with Nora, my mind had been in a tailspin. When morning came, the tension still hadn’t loosened its grip on my chest. I was exhausted, emotionally frayed, and barely holding on.Jacob’s father, Thomas Bennett, had summoned both of us to the office at the crack of dawn, and the entire drive there was heavy with a sense of foreboding. Jacob kept stealing glances at me, but neither of us spoke. We knew better than to get into a debate before facing Thomas. The man had a way of sniffing out weakness and using it to his advantage.The conference room felt like a war zone, Thomas Bennett presiding over it like a stern general. He sat at the head of the table, his steel-gray eyes narrowed as he glared at me. The walls were lined with old portraits of previous Bennett patriarchs, each one a reminder of the legacy and expectations weighing down on my shoulders.“Samuel,” Thomas said, his voice low and dangero

NORA'S POV The cab ride from Charles de Gaulle Airport to my apartment felt longer than the entire flight from New York. Paris loomed heavy around me, the city of love and dreams now shrouded in shadows of worry and dread. The last time I’d been here, it had felt like a refuge, a new start. Now, it felt like a prison I was walking back into, chains and all.I unlocked the door to my apartment, exhaustion weighing on me like a physical force. My mind was so clouded with everything that had happened—the whirlwind of leaving Sam, the chaos of Milo’s threats—that I didn’t immediately register the woman sitting in the middle of my living room.

SAM'S POV I sat in my office, leaning back in my chair, staring at the ceiling as the weight of the past few days bore down on me like an anvil. My phone lay face down on the desk, and I hadn’t had the courage to pick it up, to see if there were any missed calls or messages from Nora. She was in Paris. Gone. And I was here, in New York, feeling more powerless than I ever had in my life. My chest tightened at the thought, a hollow ache that gnawed at me relentlessly.The door swung open, and Jacob sauntered in, his usual cocky demeanor making my teeth grind. He flopped into the chair across from me, his gaze flicking around my office before settling on me. “You look like shit,” he commented, a smirk playing on his lips. &l

My heart stopped.Daniel stood in the doorway, his hair disheveled, his eyes wide with relief and something else—something I couldn’t quite place. He looked out of breath, as if he’d run all the w

NORA’S POVThe sun bathed the Bennett estate in a golden glow, filtering through the canopy of white roses and twinkling fairy lights. It was the perfect day, the kind of day that had once seemed impossible. But here we were. I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the delicate lace sleeve of my gown. It was nothing like the dress I had once imagined wearing for my first wedding to Sam. No, this was something entirely different—something that felt more like me. The gown hugged my frame, elegant and timeless. Soft ivory fabric cascaded down in delicate layers, embroidered with tiny pearls that shimmered when I moved. My hair, styled in loose waves, was pinned back with a single white rose, and a sheer veil trailed behind me like something out of a dream. But it was Sam’s face I longed to see the most. "Are you ready?" Genevieve appeared in the doorway, looking radiant in a soft emerald gown. Her usual sharpness was softened by the emotion in her eyes. I turned, feeling my he

NORA’S POVThe moment the plane touched down in New York, a flood of emotions surged through me. Relief. Exhaustion. Gratitude. I was alive. I was going home. Sam held my hand the entire drive from the airport, his grip firm yet tender, like he was afraid that if he let go, I’d disappear. My heart ached with anticipation; my mind consumed by a single thought—Zoe. I had spent weeks away from my daughter, missing the warmth of her tiny body against mine, the sweet scent of her skin, the sound of her giggles. The separation had been unbearable, and now, every second that kept me from holding her felt like

It was about her. Nora. She lay in the bed

NORA’S POVThe beeping of machines was a constant rhythm, a reminder of the fragile line I was walking. The Parisian hospital room was bathed in soft golden light from the setting sun, but I felt cold. Not the kind of cold that came from the air conditioning or the evening breeze slipping through the cracks in the window—this was deeper, bone-deep, a chilling awareness that my body was failing me. Every breath felt like a borrowed one, shallow and effortful. The weight of exhaustion pressed down on me, heavier than it had ever been. My fingers tingled, my limbs felt distant, like they didn’t belong to me anymore. A part of me wondered if this was it—if I was already standing on the precipice between life and d

SAM'S POV The jet sliced through the cloud cover with the precision of a predator on a hunt, its hum a constant in the background as my thoughts drifted. Paris was just hours away, but I was already a prisoner of the distance—caught between two worlds, neither of which felt truly mine anymore.I had fought wars before, faced battles in boardrooms and beneath the weight of expectations. But none of those had ever felt so personal, so destructive. This fight had torn apart the very fabric of my family, shattered everything I had worked for, and left scars on my soul that would never fully heal. And the worst part? It had nearly cost me Nora—the one person I couldn’t afford to lose.

SAM'S POV The boardroom was suffocating, thick with tension and the scent of expensive cologne and polished wood. New York’s most powerful investors sat around the long mahogany table, their sharp eyes locked on me. Margot Moretti sat at the far end, composed as ever, but I could see the cracks beginning to show.For the past two hours, I had been fighting for control of what was left of my father’s empire. The Morettis had leveraged Aunt Marion’s shares and were dangerously close to tipping th

NORA'S POVThe hospital room was eerily silent except for the rhythmic beeping of the monitors and the quiet hum of the machines keeping me tethered to this world. The walls were painted in soft, sterile white, and the air smelled faintly of antiseptic. I had spent countless hours in this bed, staring at the ceiling, counting the tiles, trying to ignore the way my body felt weaker with each passing day.But today was different. Today, the doctors would begin the experimental treatment—the last chance I had.Sam was pacing. He had been pacing for the last twenty minutes,

SAM'S POV The Paris clinic was quiet, almost unnervingly so. The soft hum of machines filled the room as Nora slept peacefully, her breathing steady but shallow. I sat in the corner of her room, the faint glow of my laptop illuminating the stack of documents Alaric had sent over that morning.Balancing the weight of the Bennett empire and being here for Nora felt impossible, but I had no choice.The reports from New York weren’t promising.
