[Caden]“How much longer?” I ask, irritated.It’s been two hours since I arrived at the restaurant where Alexander arranged the meeting. Finally, I would see the woman who hasn’t stopped stalking me ever since she learned of my accomplishments. The same woman who still has the nerve to call herself my mother.Mother. Huh. Does she even know what that word means? Does she know anything at all?I glance around the restaurant one more time and sigh in utter displeasure. Alexander’s men are everywhere, stationed in every corner of the building, yet there’s no sign of him—or her.I prepare to leave, but a hand on my shoulder forces me back into my seat.I glare up at the man, who only grins. “They’re here.”I look forward, and there they are. The two people I despise the most, walking closer and closer, making me want to get up and leave even faster.I try not to care about the woman who enters the room as if she owns it. Head held high, hands clasped in front of her, holding some sort of

[Vivienne]“Are you telling me that you already made the offer to buy out the Clarksons?” I ask, wanting to confirm that I heard correctly.Theo shrugs. “Yup. You think I’d waste time after what that family did? Especially that vile woman who badmouthed you? They had it coming, and you know that.”I shake my head. I knew Theo and Harvey were angry after Sasha’s and Arthur’s respective actions, but I didn’t expect them to act so quickly. I thought they would at least inform me first or keep me in the loop.“And when did you make the offer?” I ask.“First thing in the morning,” Theo says proudly. Once again, I shake my head.No wonder Sasha seemed furious today. She probably thought I was behind it.But, of course, I was behind it. If not for me, Theo probably would have taken more time to decide to call in the loan.“Hey, you have nothing to worry about,” Theo says, drawing my attention back to him. He sits at the foot of the bed and looks into my eyes. “Even if they hadn’t done what t

[Vivienne]“What did she do this time?” Theo asks, before Harvey and I can even wrap around what Rosita just blurted out.Rosita rushes in, looking really troubled. “Guys, I don’t know what’s going on. But she just posted this video a few minutes ago and the media is already giving it the blind coverage.”Harvey waves a hand in the air. “What can she possibly say now to cause such havoc?”Rosita avoids looking at him. “Uh. Well, she said something for sure, and now it’s all over the internet.”The suspense is killing me and I was the one who was supposed to be calm. I shake my head. “Just show me already.”Rosita hands over the phone and I tap on the screen. A video starts playing.On the screen, Sasha appears utterly devastated, her eyes red and swollen as though she’s been crying for hours. Her voice trembles with every word.“I—I am Sasha Clarkson, daughter of Albert Clarkson. I’m here to… to beg the Richardson family for forgiveness.” She takes a shaky breath, barely able to speak

[Caden]The moment I reach home, I’m surrounded by mom and dad.“Where the hell have you been, Caden? We have been worried sick.” Mom says, as she grabs my face and scans as if I have come from a fight and not a flight. “Are you hurt? Did you get into any trouble? Why didn’t you return any of our calls? That’s not like you. You always call back. Always.”She’s not wrong. I do keep my parents aware of my whereabouts, at least, as much as I can But ever since this experimental treatment started, I had no choice but to keep it from them. God knows if they knew the dangers and side effects that I might have because of this said treatment, they would never let me go ahead with it.But I can’t let that happen. This treatment might be my only choice to have a normal life. A life where I don’t have to pretend to be something I am not, where I can be honest and not hide my face around just so I wouldn’t have to deal with it.I grab Mom’s hands and pull them down. I look her in the eyes. “I’m f

[Vivienne]“This woman is insane!” Theo bursts out, pacing the room. “How can she lie about something like this? Not to mention causing such a scene. It’s like she’s trying to sell her misery—wants people to sympathize with her. I mean, what kind of person does that? Especially someone who’s supposed to come from such a good family!”“Well, I’m not surprised. Sasha has always been an attention seeker.”“Gosh!” He runs a hand through his hair, visibly frustrated. “How does one even deal with a person like that? She has no shame.”I shrug. “You can always ignore her.”He turns to face me, surprised. “We can do that?”I shake my head, smiling. “Of course. Why not? Besides, this isn’t your mess to deal with. Harvey can handle it in no time. Just give him a little space.”“You’re right.” He finally sits down on the chair next to the bed and sighs. “But I still don’t like it. I’ve never met someone so shameless.”I wish I could say the same. But Sasha and I go way back. If it weren’t for he

[Vivienne]The elevator doors closed before I could help it.But that’s when it struck me. The smaller guy was someone I had already seen. His voice…it was so familiar.My nurse returns just in time, huffing and panting behind me.“Jesus, can you believe that?” she puffs out, wheeling me towards the next elevator that opened right away. She wheels me inside and punches for my floor. “Not even hospitals are safe anymore.”“What happened?” I ask, curious as hell.“Oh, didn’t you hear the uproar? There was a fight. A strange man attacked one of the patients, and then dragged him out of the hospital.”“Are you serious? Such things happen here? Where was the security?? I end up asking, just in time for the elevator doors to open to my desired floor.The nurse pushes me towards my room. “Well, I’m sure they would have been caught downstairs. The security is more tight there. But still. It was tragic.”“Why do you say that?” I ask, as my room arrives and she starts helping me to the bed.“Be

[SASHA] "I don't like this, Sasha. What if everything you're doing backfires?" Mom says over the phone as I stand in the parking lot of our company, sifting through my purse, trying to find the keys to my car. I roll my eyes, frustration bubbling as the key remains elusive. "Please, Mom. Do you think I’d ever do something without thinking it through? Don’t worry about the Richardsons. If they know what’s good for them, they’ll figure out what to do if they want to keep me quiet.” And that is to pay me more than they’ve offered. Did they really think a meager amount would be enough? Did they really think my family was a charity case? Huh. I’ll show them what real charity looks like. Sure, we might not have any other choice right now—selling the company and all—but I’ll make damn sure this deal doesn’t leave us empty-handed. If the Richardson Group wants a piece of us, they’ll have to pay a hefty price. "But still," Mom says hesitantly, "they’re powerful people. You need to remember

[Sasha]“What the hell do you want from me? I owe you nothing!” I yelp out, afraid he would do literally anything to me. The last time one of his men came to see my brother, they beat him up terribly. Me, on the other hand, don’t look forward to any such treatments.The man laughs, whose name I’m still unaware of. But maybe it’s better that way. I have nothing to do with such low lives.“Oh, but you do,” he says, so sweetly one would think he means no ill will. But if one could just ignore the sweetness and focus on that ugly yet dangerous face, they would know this man is anything but sweet. “Your brother owes me big time, darling. Big time. Especially, after his little piece of ass reported us to the authorities. You think I take kindly to such things, huh?”I don’t think so at all. But I’m not the one who would do something so stupid, and neither is my brother. “I have no idea what you’re talking about. I said nothing to no one. I’m not that stupid.”“Maybe not, but your brother?

[Vivienne]The nurse leads me to the operating theater first but asks me to wait outside.My hands shake as I stare at the door, wondering how Harvey must be doing.How the hell did he get into an accident? Who was the woman with him? Why did he skip work? And what the hell was he doing on the west side of the city? We don’t even have any offices there.That area is basically filled with schools, colleges, and other educational institutes."If you need anything else, I’ll be at the reception," the nurse says, ready to leave and get back to her work.I don’t let her, though.I speak before she can even turn. "How long is it going to take?"She understands what I mean by it—she must face situations like this every day. "Nothing can be said for sure right now. And I understand that waiting feels difficult, especially when your brother is in there. But trust me, the best thing you can do right now is let the doctors do their job. They will tell you everything once they’re done treating yo

I decide to pick up my things from Harvey’s place and head back to our grandparents’ house.It’s the only place where I can think clearly and have some peace to myself.God knows I need a moment to just breathe.So much has happened in a single day—my body and brain both need a well-earned break.When I arrive at his place, Mimi still hasn’t returned from school.Good. Because if she had tried to stop me one more time with those big, adorable eyes, I probably would have changed my mind. That girl has some serious charm. No wonder Harvey can’t resist any of her demands—same goes for my parents.Dad once told me that when he took her to his office—back before he retired—she demanded to play loud pony-themed music and made everyone dance, as if the entire company had thrown a party just for her.Easy to say, the employees couldn’t have asked for a better break—or a better boss.Anyway, I grab my stuff and get back into the car, making sure to leave a text for Harvey so he knows my unexpec

[Vivienne]Once I’m far enough that Avery’s screaming fades into the background, I take a deep breath, trying to calm myself.God knows what’s up with these Lawrences lately. Have they all sworn to make my life hell? To never let me have a moment of peace?I shake my head and push some loose dark curls out of my face.When I return to the table, I find Theo sitting alone.And my anger flares all over again.How could he do this to me? Out of all the women he could have dated, he chose her—the sister of my ex-husband? Did he have no respect for me? Did I not tell him what that family did to me?How could he ignore all of that and fall for a girl who is neither right for him nor anything like him?She’s just like her mother. Like Sasha. Evil. Pure evil.I still remember the day she threw that scorching coffee in my face at the café…Anyway, I take a deep breath and make my way to the table.Theo sees me approaching, and before I can say a word, he stands up, hands braced against the tab

I stare at her, unsure whether to laugh in her face or take her seriously.“End me?” I tip my head to the side, pushing her off me at the same time. “Do you hear yourself? You sound unhinged.”“You think I’m joking?”“Nah, more like you’re trying to be something you’re not.”“You think I can’t hurt you?”I roll my eyes. “Oh, please. You? Hurt me? Avery, you’re a spoiled little brat from a family of professional liars and melodramatic wannabe royals. The only thing you’ve ever ‘ended’ is a shopping spree when Daddy cut you off. So, forgive me if I find it absolutely hilarious that you think you’re some kind of threat.”Avery’s mouth drops open.She probably didn’t expect me to say something like that.I’m not surprised. I was never this sassy in front of Caden’s family. I was good, loyal, and completely dedicated. But instead of appreciating any of it, they always assumed the worst of me.And—shockingly—they still do.Anyway, now that she has nothing to say, I turn to finally get the h

[Vivienne]Avery looks just as surprised to see me.Her eyes widen, and she jolts to her feet, her face slowly turning pale.Theo probably notices her odd reaction, but before he can say anything, Avery quickly grabs my arm and giggles over her shoulder.“You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for someone to arrive. I desperately need a lady’s help. Be right back!”And with that bizarre excuse, she drags me to the bathroom, shuts the door, and spins to face me—a crown of sweat already glistening on her forehead.“What the fuck are you doing here?” she snaps, glaring at me with those little brown eyes of hers.I raise a brow. “I could ask you the same question, couldn’t I?”“Oh, shut up!”“If that’s what you want.” I turn to leave. If she wants me to shut up, then I’d rather spend my time elsewhere.But of course, she doesn’t let me.She grabs my arm and yanks me back around—hard this time.I hiss and wrench myself free. “Are you crazy? You’re hurting me.”Instead of looking guilt

[Vivienne]When I reach the office building—invited by none other than Theo—I take the elevator to his office.His assistant meets me halfway and leads me inside.Surprisingly, the room is empty.“Sir is stuck in a meeting, but he assured me he’ll be joining you soon. Can I get you anything in the meantime? Juice, coffee, or something to eat?” the assistant asks courteously, a gentle smile on her pretty face.“Just water. Thanks.”She nods and steps out, leaving me alone.I take a deep breath and sink onto the sofa across the room—the only spot where my aching back might find some relief.Just then, I feel a small kick against the side of my swollen belly—a gentle reminder that my little one has started to move.I smile.It’s a feeling I can’t quite put into words.The baby kicks started a few days ago, and God knows I’ve been dying to talk to someone about it. Maybe that’s why I wanted to invite Rosita over or visit Mom—just to share this beautiful news with her.But then Caden showe

[Rosita]I don’t like surprises.Not when they keep me this on edge.Ever since we left my office, Harvey has been as silent as ever. He insisted on driving himself, and when I asked where he was taking me, he told me to have some patience.Well, it seems I don’t have the energy for patience either.“Are you sure you’re not about to push me off a cliff or something?” I ask, crossing my arms over my chest and gazing at the scenery passing by outside the window.I hear him scoff out a small chuckle, the corner of his lips curving ever so slightly. “You have a bizarre sense of humor, you know that?”“You say that like it’s news to you,” I steal a glance at him—his hands gripping the wheel, his gaze steady on the road ahead. He’s always so composed, so frustratingly unreadable.I huff and lean back in my seat. “Are you planning to keep me in suspense forever, or are you actually going to tell me where the hell we’re going?”“Relax, Rosita. We’re almost there.”I don’t like that answer. I

[Caden]I walk out of the mansion and reach my car, already parked in the driveway.But I don’t get inside and move on with my day.No. I stop just before getting in and slam my fist against the roof of the car.Damn it! So close. I was so damn close to telling her everything. If only she had given me a chance.But can I really blame her? Is it really her fault for not giving me a chance now?The answer is no. I can’t blame her, and she isn’t at fault. I’ve wronged her in too many ways for her to believe that this time, when I speak to her, it comes straight from my heart. My words. My effort. My care.But does that mean I should just… give up?Absolutely not.I turn to face the mansion I just walked out of and mumble to myself,“You think I don’t want the child. But you couldn’t be more wrong. I have never wanted anything more in my life. But I have my reasons for holding back. I have a reason for not wanting to pass on my disabilities to our child—to keep them from suffering the sam

[Vivienne]For the next five minutes, neither of us says anything.Caden keeps his gaze locked on me while I continue to pretend that nothing he said has affected me in any way.But I’d be lying if I said his version of that night doesn’t make sense.It does. I just don’t know if it changes anything.Even if I admit that Sasha might have played me—made a fool out of me—that doesn’t explain his indifference toward me during our entire marriage. It doesn’t explain why he chose to stay away not just for days but for weeks, sometimes even months. Or why he spent the majority of his time with his family and assistant but not a single meaningful moment with his own damn wife.And it certainly doesn’t explain all the media buzz about him and Sasha—rumors of them being secretly engaged, enjoying vacations on exotic islands, and so on.“You should leave,” I tell him after a while, unsure if there’s anything left between us to discuss.No matter how innocent he claims to be, it doesn’t change t
