[Vivienne]Before I even turn around to see who it is, I feel a huge sense of relief in my heart.“Rosita!” I gasp, nearly running to her and throwing my arms around her. She hugs me back just as tightly, and we both start crying, maybe because, for a moment, we thought we might never see each other again.An irrational fear, but a fear all the same.She pulls away first. “How are you? Oh my God, I was so damn worried. I’m so glad you’re okay. You are okay, right? Did he hurt you? Anywhere? You need to tell me if that’s the case. I’ll slit his—”“I’m fine,” I assure her, and she takes a deep breath.“For now, I’m taking your word for it, but later, I’ll want proof.” She says this, but I have no idea what she means.Did she mean she’ll—“What’s going on here?” she asks, and I follow her gaze, only to realize I completely forgot about the audience I gathered to humiliate Caden.But now it’s my turn to frown, because Caden and his assistant are nowhere to be seen.As if sensing my confusi

[Vivienne]I sink to the floor, staring at the result, unable to believe my eyes. My fate. My luck.I can’t help but scoff at the irony of it all.For three years, I did everything to get pregnant. Everything. I kept logs of my days and nights, of my routine, of my cycle—everything. But not even by accident did I ever get pregnant.And now? When I’ve finally decided to move on—I am moving on—I get pregnant after one night of drunk sex.“Viv?” Rosita calls from outside.I don’t even have the strength to hide my emotions. “Y-yes?”“Uh… I was… I was leaving. You okay?” Her voice grows closer to the door. “You sound a bit… different.”I touch my face and notice the tears glistening on the tips of my fingers.I laugh through them. “Yes, yes. I’m fine.”“Ooookay! Are you saying that just so I don’t worry?”“Yes! I mean, no. I—I don’t know?”“Yeah, that’s what I thought. Alright, the plan’s changed. I’m here now. Tell me what’s going on. I’m all ears.”I check the result one more time—I don’t

[Vivienne]I don’t know what to say.Seeing Alexander at the clinic wasn’t exactly something I expected.But strangely, he doesn’t look that surprised. He smiles at us, looking as insanely handsome as ever. I mean, why does this guy always look like he’s having a good day? Like he woke up on the right side of the bed, and his coffee never tasted like crap, not even once.He approaches us and greets Rosita with a nod.“I think we need to stop meeting like this.” He looks around, clearly trying to signal that our recent meetups haven’t exactly been…normal.I agree. The last time we met, he was trying to escape men who were trying to kill him, and today, of all places, we bump into each other at a clinic.I really hope he doesn’t ask why I’m here. Something tells me I won’t be able to lie or make it any less awkward. I’m really excited, I guess.“Right,” I say, and Rosita gently nudges me with her elbow. I quickly take the cue. “Oh, and this is my best friend, Rosita—the famous designer t

[Vivienne]After our flight back to New York, I spent the next three days doing nothing but staying at home.My pregnancy has been re-confirmed, and now I need to figure out what to do next.Should I tell Caden about this?I mean, it’s not like he’d care. He never wanted a baby in the first place. He made that pretty clear whenever I tried to convince him to have sex without protection.Back then, I used to think maybe he just didn’t like babies. I mean, some people don’t, and I tried to understand. But if only I had known the whole truth. It’s not that Caden doesn’t like babies—he just didn’t want to have them with me.After all, he did not wait to get that Sasha pregnant.I roll my eyes and try to focus back on the show playing on TV. But nothing seems interesting—not when I’m aware of everything happening inside me right now.I wrap my arms around my stomach and smile. “We’re gonna be fine. Don’t you worry about anything, okay? Just focus on growing so Mumma can see you soon.”The d

[Vivienne]The very next morning, I go to see my brother at his office.But the moment I tell him the reason for my visit, he frowns, hard.“You want to resign?” he asks, not quite able to believe it—well, probably.Maybe because this whole “working as a normal employee under him” was my idea in the first place. But I had my reasons. Before this, I didn’t have any job experience. And Dad always said that unless a person knows how to do the smallest tasks, they can never be a good boss.Since childhood, I admired the wisdom he imparted to both Harvey and me whenever he got the chance. In fact, before joining our business directly as president, Harvey worked in various lower positions until he earned the respect and admiration of his coworkers. I wanted to do something like that too. Earn the respect of my people.But turns out I don’t have that kind of time.Now that I’m pregnant, I need to have a solid foundation beneath me just as much as I need to be independent—enough to not only gi

[Vivienne]He’s probably right.But Harvey’s experience is completely different from mine. His ex-girlfriend wasn’t exactly a monster like my ex. They parted ways because they both thought it was best for them. Caden and I are divorced because he’s an asshole, a cheater, and a man who could never take my side, no matter the circumstances.Does he even deserve to be a father? That’s the question I’m most worried about. Would he even care?“Hey?” Harvey snaps his fingers in front of my face. “Where did you go?”I snap out of my thoughts. “Sorry. Where were we?”“Nowhere,” he chuckles, then stands up, adjusting his tie. “Well, I suppose a celebration is in order. Do Mom and Dad know? You must obviously tell them, right?”I shrug. “Well, I have plans.”He shakes his head, laughing. “You and your plans. Anyway, what’s next? Is resigning and starting anew the only thing you came to tell me about?”I lean forward, finally rolling my shoulders because now we’re talking business. “Not exactly.

[Vivienne]Kim’s eyes widen. “Right now? Shit!”She rushes out of her office so quickly that I wonder if it’s only going to take an hour before she confesses everything. Well, the sooner, the better.I take a deep breath and head back to my desk, only to bump into Claire the moment I step out of Kim’s office.Well, that’s weird. It’s almost like she was trying to overhear us. Was she?“Hey, Vivienne. I was just… you know… I mean,” she laughs awkwardly. “I… I came to ask Kim about something. Is she in the office? You know what? No worries. I can talk to her some other time. She seems busy.”I tilt my head to the side, finding it hard to believe her odd act of being nice to me. This woman has never been nice to me. If anything, she’s been jealous and a total bitch most days. “Sure,” I say, walking past her and heading to Harvey’s office.That’s where I told him I would be, waiting for everything to unfold.I make a few calls while we wait: one to Rosita, reminding her that we’re meeting

[Vivienne]I put down the phone and frown, staring at my lap.Claire? Claire is the one leaking designs to the rival company?I mean, I’m not surprised, but I was sure it was Kim. Harvey was too. So how did she turn out to be innocent? Why did she destroy my designs if she isn’t working for someone else?My head aches with all these unanswered questions. I can’t make sense of Kim’s strange behavior.Maybe that’s why, when she returns to the break room to check on me, I can’t help but confront her right away.“Why did you do it?” I ask. Now that the pain has dulled, I feel able to focus again, though I don’t dare stand. I still feel shaken from the whole ordeal. “Why did you destroy my designs that day?”My words catch Kim off guard. She stops dead in her tracks, her hands coming to a complete stop, as she gazes at me with a mix of surprise and bewilderment. The way she looks away makes me suspect she knows exactly what I’m talking about.“What… what do you mean?” Her gaze shifts to th

[Sasha]I can’t believe I’m back here.After everything this family has done to ignore me, to ensure I never received a single penny from them, I’m still here, hoping for some help.Never in my life did I think I’d be in a position where I’d have to beg for my next meal. But here I am, and it’s the only option I have left. After selling the company and using half of the money to pay off the loan shark, and the other half to cover Dad’s hospital bills and pay the overdue salaries of employees we’d kept waiting for years, it wasn’t surprising that I was left with absolutely nothing.It doesn’t help that my idiot brother, Arthur, is nowhere to be found. Ever since he was released from the hospital and learned what I had to do to get rid of the jerk he borrowed from, he’s completely disappeared.Damn it. If I see him next time, I swear to God, I’m going to kill him.“How long is this going to take?” I ask, standing up from the couch as I spot one of the maids of the Lawrence residence pas

[Vivienne]“Where are you? You were supposed to be here hours ago,” I say over the phone, carefully walking down the stairs per the doctor’s instructions during my last visit.“On my way, I swear. Just got caught up in a call and couldn’t put it off,” Rosita says huffing, and not at all sounding as if she’s in a car.I reach the end of the stairs, frowning. “Have you even left? Please be honest with me.”“Of course,” she says as a matter of fact, but then right after a moment, she blurts out. “Actually, no.”Before I even respond to that, she rushes to explain. “Before you get mad, just hear me out. I swear I was leaving, I was almost ready to leave the house, get into my car, and reach you, but then…then someone came over and it seemed like urgent. And I could have told you all about that but…but…but…”“Hey, hey, hey,” I laugh. “Calm down, Ro. You’re making me sound like some tyrannical friend or something. It’s fine, really. The only reason I asked you to come over is because you sa

[Caden]Since our last meeting at the courthouse, I decided to keep my distance from Vivienne.A few weeks have passed now, and I think it’s enough time and space she might have needed to get used to the new reality of our lives—the kind of reality where she sees me around more often. The kind of reality where she allows me to be there for her and our child.“Excuse me, sir,” Betty Adams—my assistant—pulls me out of my thoughts.I look up to find her standing at the door. “The meeting starts in five.”The meeting. Of course. My last task of the day. After this, I’ll be free to visit Vivienne.Speaking of which—I get up from my chair, reaching for my suit jacket. “Did you find Vivienne’s new address?”I hear footsteps behind me. “About that…”When it feels like she’s going to leave it at that, I turn around, frowning. “What’s that supposed to mean?”“I mean, I tried, sir.”She must be out of her mind. “Well, clearly, you haven’t tried hard enough.”“But, sir—”“Leave it.”I walk past

[Vivienne]I can’t believe he’s here.But why?“Hey,” I manage, even though his unexpected appearance has completely thrown me off. “Long time no see.”“You don’t say,” he replies, placing the glass of water on the table in front of me when I make no move to take it. I might have zoned out for a second there. “So, how have you been? And may I just add—you’re a very hard person to find.”I smile faintly. That’s exactly what I’ve been aiming for since moving to my grandparents’ home in the hills. “Maybe that’s the point. I like my life quieter these days, away from all the chaos.”“I get it,” he says with a soft chuckle, his expression neither offended nor prying. “For a while, I thought it was me who chased you away, you know—with all those talks about faking an engagement and everything.”Oh. Right. I almost forgot about that. The proposal he made—the arrangement he thought would make his mother happy.Too bad I had far more pressing problems to deal with at the time.“Trust me, it wa

[Vivienne]“Are you sure you want to attend this event?” Harvey asks as I walk into my walk-in wardrobe, trying to pick an appropriate evening gown for the night.“Of course, I’m sure. I wouldn’t have asked you to accompany me if I wasn’t,” I shrug, leaning towards a stunning black dress but quickly getting distracted by a shimmery white gown with a sexy slit.“That, I understand. But considering your health…”“I’m fine, Harvey,” I roll my eyes. It’s been two months since that night when I rushed myself to the hospital after spotting blood on my sheets. “According to my doctor, I’m well past the risk phase, and I can start getting back to my daily routine.”“But still,” he says, sounding as if he still has doubts.Look, I know he cares. He’s my big brother, after all. I’ve known about his possessiveness for a very long time. But the reason I don’t want to spend my days sitting like a duck at home is that I’ve started to get terribly bored.Besides, tonight’s event is kind of special.

[Sasha]“What the hell is this place?” Dad fumes, glancing around the cramped, one-room apartment I brought him to straight from the hospital.“It’s…” I glance around myself, wrinkling my nose at the awful smell wafting in from the nearby window. “…something.”“Sasha,” Mom calls out, drawing my attention. Her voice holds a mix of confusion and concern. “What is this? Why aren’t we home?”“Mom, there’s something you should know,” I begin, feeling beads of sweat forming on my forehead and trickling down my back. I turn to Dad, bracing myself. “Remember the loan Arthur took from that loan shark?”“Of course, I do. How could I forget the biggest disappointment of my life?” he huffs, walking over to the old, sagging couch in the corner. He pauses before sitting down, noticing the thick layer of dust covering it, and chooses to stand instead. “What I don’t understand is—what are we doing here? Didn’t you hear what the doctor said? I need rest. I need to be home. And this place is far from i

[Caden]“Congratulations, Mr. Lawrence. You got what you wanted.” My advocate—Atlas Norman—extends his hand for a handshake. “Despite my better judgment, of course.”I return the handshake, albeit a little reluctantly. “You say that as if I ruined your fun.”“Well, you did. Especially since I enjoy a good challenge. But either way, my client’s satisfaction is what matters most. So, I’m glad I could be of service.”I have a strong urge to roll my eyes but manage to keep my composure. “Thanks for your efforts.”“All my pleasure. Now that the restraining order has been lifted, you need to be very careful with how you conduct yourself, Mr. Lawrence. As the judge mentioned, all eyes will be on you, and if you mistreat your ex-wife or the unborn child in any way, the order could be reinstated. From this point on, it’s about walking on eggshells. I hope you’ll remember that.”Of course, I do. That’s all I can think about—how not to screw this up.I might not have been the best husband a woma

[Vivienne]I answer the call—it’s Elijah.“Hey,” I say, watching Theo get up and resume pacing back and forth across the room.“Hey. How are you now?”“Much better. In fact, I’m just waiting for my discharge papers.”“That’s good to hear, Vivienne. I’ll come by to visit as soon as I can.”“Sure.” But something about his tone feels off. “Is everything okay? You sound… serious.”Elijah exhales, his tone growing heavier. “I won’t lie to you. I just got word from your ex-husband’s attorney.”The mention of Caden makes my throat go dry. Why is he suddenly everywhere today? Why can’t he just leave me alone?I shake my head, trying to dispel the rising anxiety. “What the hell is he up to now?”“Nothing good, if I’m being honest.”“Just tell me already.”“They’re preparing to file a motion to contest the restraining order.”“He’s doing what?” Did I just hear that right? Is Caden out of his mind? Why would he fight something he never cared about in the first place? What’s his goal here? A sudde

[Vivienne]“Ms. Sinclair?”I snap back into focus, realizing I’ve zoned out again.Damn it. Why am I thinking about him again? What is there to even think about? He broke my heart, shattered my life, and yet, here I am—wondering what else I could’ve said, what more I could’ve done, just to get some reaction out of him.I shake my head, trying to pull myself out of this vicious spiral. It’s the same toxic loop I always fell into when we were married—constantly questioning myself. What could I have done differently? What could I have said better? Anything that might’ve made him stay a little longer, look at me with more than passing interest, spend more than just a fleeting part of his day with me. Anything that might’ve made him care for me like a real husband, like someone who actually loved his wife.But no. I can’t let myself fall back into that labyrinth of false hope and endless what-ifs. Not again.Taking a steadying breath, I force a smile for the doctor, doing my best to seem c
