Chapter 139 Eva’s Point of View The room felt like it was spinning. The doctor’s words hit me like a punch to the gut. “Your father is in a coma,” he said, his tone neutral, as if he had delivered such news countless times before. I stared at him, my voice trembling. “What… what are his chances o
Chapter 140 Eva's point of view My chest was tight, and no matter how much I tried to breathe, it felt like I was drowning. The sound of my own heart pounding in my ears only made it worse. My father was in a coma, and I couldn’t stop blaming myself. I should have forgiven him. I should have been

Chapter 141 Sara's point of view The door slammed shut behind us, the sound echoing through the house. I didn’t care. I was furious, my blood boiling with every step I took into the living room. My mother was right behind me, her heels clicking against the marble floor, matching my pace as we bot
Chapter 142 Eva's point of view I sat beside my father’s hospital bed, the sterile scent of the room mixing with the faint hum of machines keeping him alive. His face, once full of life, now looked so pale, so still. I gripped his hand tightly, as if my touch could somehow bring him back. I didn’
Chapter 143 Eva's point of view I walked into the towering glass building of Brown Enterprises, my heart pounding in my chest. The weight of the moment bore down on me, but I couldn’t let it show. I had to stay strong, composed, and unwavering. My father’s legacy depended on it. Josh couldn't be
“I am Williams Brown’s only legitimate child,” I continued, my voice steady despite the storm raging inside me. “This company is my father’s legacy, and I am the rightful heir. Sara is an illegitimate child, and Emily is nothing more than the mistress who tore my family apart. They have no right to
Chapter 144 Eva point of view The words hit me like a blow to the chest. Murderer. My breath caught, and the room seemed to close in around me. Emily’s venomous accusation hung in the air, silencing everyone. The smug look on her face told me she had been waiting for this moment, for the perfect

Models rushed between makeup stations, stylists shouted instructions in multiple languages, and someone nearby was having a meltdown about a broken heel. But Sara couldn't focus on any of it. The walls of the massive venue
The grand dining room of the Brown mansion sparkled with its usual Sunday elegance, but tonight the atmosphere crackled with unspoken tension. Crystal glasses clinked too loudly against china plates as the family attempted normal conversation around the elephant in the room. "Pass the potatoes?" Ev
Josh's Point of View The nightmares returned last night. Faces from my past, screams in dark alleys, blood on my hands that no amount of success could wash away. I jolted awake in my mansion suite, sheets tangled around me, heart pounding against my ribs. My phone showed three missed calls from He
Eva's Point of View The Brown Enterprises conference room buzzed with barely contained hostility. Camera flashes popped like lightning as reporters jostled for position, their hungry eyes fixed on the empty podium. Behind the scenes, I watched Sara pacing, her face pale but determined. "You don't
Sara's Point of View The morning started like a dream. My first major runway show for Paris Fashion Week, everything I'd worked so hard to achieve finally coming true. I should have known it wouldn't last. Nothing good in my life ever does. The first hint came during makeup. Victoria Stone, superm
Sara's Point of View The morning started with an urgent text from Eva about a "childcare emergency." I rushed to the mansion, expecting chaos, only to find four suspiciously well-behaved children setting up what appeared to be a romantic picnic in the garden. "Aunty Sara!" Mia bounced over, her pr
"Operation Love Birds is now in session!" Mia declared, banging her plastic princess wand against her bedroom floor like a gavel. Her brothers gathered around in a tight circle, their faces serious with six-year-old determination. "Are you sure about the name?" Leo whispered, glancing at the door

"You didn't have to follow his plans." Bitterness crept into my voice. "You chose to help him kill Eva's mother. Chose to watch her die slowly." "I know." Tears filled her eyes. "Not a day passes that I don't see Leah's face. She was kind to me, even as the poison took her. Sometimes I wake up scre
