I left my room for my mummy's room. I needed her help with this.

"Mommy, can I come in?" I asked after one knock.

"Of course, baby, do come in."

I went straight to her, knowing that coming into her room at this time of day meant daddy would stay longer in his study, as he usually did every night.

"Do you need mummy's help with anything?" she asked.

The best approach in this matter was for me to be calm. That way, I could get her to do anything I wanted. She loves me a lot and gives me whatever I desire—she's my mummy, after all.

"Mummy, your Helena is hopelessly in love," I began, using the most innocent voice I could muster.

"Really, baby? My baby is in love. Wow, who is the lucky guy?"

I couldn't help but blush when mummy said it like that.

"W e e e l l l........ I met him in Daddy's office."

"I hope he’s not working there," she interrupted with a displeased look. I'm sure she was assuming I was talking about some lowlife with no money.

"Of course not, mummy. He

    "I can't believe I forgot that. What if she's already pregnant? But on a second thought, it's not possible. It's not possible to get pregnant within one night. And if we did, wouldn't that be a great idea? It would be the best way to make mine forever. There were so many weird thoughts in my head, I'm definitely a gone man. My way of thinking has changed when it comes to her; I always lose my rational thinking. I know it's not possible to get pregnant within one night, but my brain and heart seem to be fighting with each other. I always think with my brain in the past, making decisions with one's heart is something weak and irrational people do.construe emotions as a motion, making decisions.Am I one of them now?I need to stop this nonsense; it's getting out of hand.

I’m certain now that our married life will be filled with bliss if she agrees though. After brushing we went straight to the shower together, I took the body wash and wash her myself which she didn’t disagree with. She enjoyed being served. h m mm that’s interesting Maybe her love language is act of service which she herself may not know yet, perhaps I could identify every emotions for her instead.

    "Do you need help with your revenge plan” I don’t need to know what's on her mind but If she wants me to take care of someone, I'll gladly do it. But I won't act without her instruction. “If I need help, I'll ask for it.” Well I will have to wait until she asks “By the way, don't forget the birth control on your way to work. Or better yet, let me get it for you.”I went out of the walk-in closet to the bedroom. I sent a text to Drake to get me a birth control pill as well as my outfit for the day. Few minutes later, I heard a knock at the door. I walked towards it to open it, and the maid handed me what I needed. 'Thank you,' I said.“You're welcome, young master,' she he replied. 'Is young mistress ready? Would you and young mistress prefer to have your breakfast here or come down for it?”I could sense her fear as she spoke. I'm used to people fearing me, even when they're just speaking to me. Growing up, I got accustomed to people feeling intense fear around me."Is your cloth h

    Helena paced her room, fuming. It had been days since she had access to her card and her dad kept trying to push to ball due to lack of funds and there was still no resolution. Every attempt to access the funds had been blocked, leaving her charity ball plans in jeopardy. She knew who was behind this, and the thought made her blood boil.The answer came later that evening. As she was sitting in the living room, her father entered, his face etched with frustration.“Helena, it’s worse than we thought,” he said, sinking into a chair. “Liliana has tightened her grip on the company’s finances. She’s the one blocking our access to the funds.”Helena’s jaw clenched. “I knew it. That bitch is doing this on purpose. But why now? Why block the funds when we need them the most?”“She’s trying to weaken us,” her father replied. “With no access to funds, we can’t host the ball or make any significant moves. She wants us to look vulnerable, unstable.”But how did she even know about the whole ball

    “Helena, love…” James called out. “Yes, Daddy?” she answered, lifting her head from what she was doing. "Have you sent all the invitations out to the investors?" he asked. Helena looked up, a bit confused, not sure what to say. “Well, Daddy, I sent two to three different invitations to Manchester,” she replied. James frowned slightly. "We want all the big names in New York City at the party. Ray Manchester has never shown up at an event like this before. He may be important, but he never shows up. You should know these things. Make sure every other investor is invited. This is about us making a comeback, about getting the funding back. And besides, I don't know where you got the funds from…" Helena’s heart raced as she scrambled for a convincing response. She couldn’t afford to let her father know about the arrangement with Mr. Blackwood. Thinking quickly, she put on her best reassuring smile and changed the whole funds topic. “Daddy, I understand how important this is,”

    Ray gazed intently at the invitation card in his hand. He had been invited to a charity event, which was unexpected. Typically, he usually receives invitations to business gatherings, not charity functions. In the past, he wouldn’t have considered attending such events, but this was different now. His baby girl was part of the family hosting the charity, and he had recently discovered they were unaware of his underground dealings with them.Ray sensed there was still more to uncover, and he couldn’t wait to learn more. Viktor had done his part; now it was time to instruct Derek, his assistant and hacker, to dig deeper. Something must have happened right before Lilly was born to make a father hate his own daughter.Just then, he heard his baby girl’s voice behind him. “What are you looking at so intensely?” she asked.

    Fairy tales didn’t exist. Ray had always known that. And yet, he had let himself believe. Believe that after everything, he could finally have his happy ending. That Lily would come back, that they would put all the chaos behind them and just… be. But four months had passed. Four months, and she was nowhere to be found. And in those four months, she had caused more destruction than she probably even realized. The Anderson family was gone. The Manchester family had been silenced. The power structures that once dictated everything had crumbled beneath the weight of her actions. And yet, the world had gone eerily quiet. The media barely spoke about it. There were no reports, no scandalous headlines, no outrage. It was as if the universe had conspired to erase all traces of her, making her untouchable. He couldn’t reach her. He couldn’t speak to her. He couldn’t even see her. It was hell. And the worst part? It was starting to feel like the version of hell he had

    The silence stretched between them.Lilly and Jerry—two people who had seen death, caused death, lived among death—now sat here, unable to make sense of the one loss that actually hurt.Lilly swallowed the lump in her throat.“I thought I could tell you that time would heal this. That one day, you’d wake up, and the pain would be gone.”Jerry gave her a hollow stare, waiting for her to continue.“But that would be a lie.”Her voice broke slightly, but she pushed through.“The truth is… you won’t wake up one day and magically feel okay. You’ll carry this pain with you. Every damn day.”Jerry’s jaw clenched. He knew that already, he knows deep down he will never get over losing his love right before it could even blossom.Lilly reached out and placed a hand over his.“But you’ll learn to live with it,” she whispered. “Because that’s what Chloe would have wanted. She didn’t fight this hard, endure this much, just for either of us to fall apart when she’s gone.”Jerry let out a ragged bre

    Ray stared at her, his heart pounding in his chest.“One… m-m-month?” His voice cracked. “That’s too much, wifey.”His grip on her hands tightened, as if afraid that if he let go, she would disappear before his eyes.Lilly’s lips trembled, but she held her ground.“At least this way, you won’t be married to a woman who is mentally unstable, Ray,” she said softly. “And worse—a woman who shares her new body with her dead twin’s split personality.”Ray’s body stiffened.“Split what?” His brows furrowed, convinced he had misheard.Lilly sighed, wiping the stray tear that escaped her eye. “I’m sure you’ve already guessed it, Ray. You’ve seen it. You’ve felt it. Lia and I… we aren’t just one person. And I need to do this—for myself, for you, and for our baby.”Her voice wavered.“I need to be able to give you the same love you’ve given me. To birth our baby in a safe place. Please, Ray… please.” She squeezed his hands, her tears falling freely now.Ray felt something twist in his chest.Lil

    The room felt unbearably heavy.Jerry sat still, his elbows on his knees, his head in his hands.And then, without warning—A sob tore through him.“Haaaaaa~~~” he yelled out. For the first time in life he felt like someone was trying to zap life out of him.The kind that clawed out from the depths of his soul, ripping past the walls he had spent years building.Tears streamed down his face. He didn’t even bother to wipe them.This wasn’t grief.This was devastation.This was an unbelievable moment, it was only aFew days ago that he realized the extend of his live for Chloe and now she dead.Dead just like that.This was the feeling of watching the one person who made life feel like more than just blood and war—slip through his fingers.He had lost Chloe.And now, what was left of him?Nothing.Nothing but this unbearable silence, this emptiness that no amount of vengeance could ever fill.He clenched his fists.He had always thought himself untouchable, someone who laughed in the fa

    The room was too quiet.The kind of silence that made the air feel heavier, pressing against their chests like an unbearable weight.Lilly sat frozen, her eyes staring into nothing.She wasn’t crying. She wasn’t speaking.She just sat there, lost in the void.Ray was right behind her, not touching, not speaking just there.Because what could he say? What could he do?There were no words for grief like this. No bandage for wounds that cut this deep.On the other side of the room, Jerry knelt beside Chloe’s bed, his hands gripping hers with a desperation that made his knuckles turn white.His lips moved, whispering something under his breath.A prayer.Jerry Manchester the man who had never feared death, who had laughed in the face of danger—was now begging.To a God he didn’t even believe in.“Please—”His voice cracked, his fingers tightening around Chloe’s.“Please, don’t take her.”Tears burned at the corners of his eyes, but he refused to let them fall.He didn’t cry.

    The scent of iron was thick in the air.Lilly’s eyes, cold and unyielding, swept across the men standing by. Their hesitation irritated her.“What the hell are you all waiting for?” Her voice cracked through the tense silence, sharp as a whip.The men snapped to attention.“Get him out of there. Now.”She didn’t need to say it twice.Two men rushed forward, reaching into the trunk and dragging David Deluca’s battered body out. His weight was dead, limp, his blood smearing against their gloves.“Take him to Damon.”Her tone left no room for argument.The men moved swiftly, disappearing into the building with their barely breathing cargo.Lilly stood still, her breathing measured, her fingers clenched so tightly her nails bit into her palms.She should feel satisfaction.But for some reason—She didn’t.Inside, the air was suffocating.The rhythmic beeping of the life support machine filled the room—until suddenly, the sound changed.The sharp, rapid BEEP—BEEP—BEEP sliced through the ai

    Lilly inhaled sharply.Ray cursed under his breath.Jerry looked up, his expression wild, desperate. “We need to stop the bleeding!”But his hands were unsteady, his mind a mess.Lilly took over.“Move,” she ordered, her voice firm.Jerry hesitated, unwilling to let go, but Ray grabbed his shoulder, pulling him back.“Let her work.”Lilly worked fast, grabbing supplies from the medical kit. She cut away the fabric around the wound, assessing the damage. The bullet hadn’t passed through it was lodged inside.“Shit.”With gloved hands, she cleaned around the wound, applying pressure to slow the bleeding. Her movements were steady, precise years of training kicking in.Jerry could barely breathe.“Is she going to be okay?” His voice cracked.Lilly didn’t answer immediately. She grabbed a hemostatic gauze and pressed it firmly against the wound.“This will slow it down until Damon gets here,” she murmured.Ray kept his focus on Jerry, who looked like a man on the verge of breaking.“She’l

His hands balled into fists.“Well, are you fucking blind?” he snapped. “Or just too dumb to realize we’re already in the city?”Clark stiffened.“They own this place,” Matt muttered, his voice low and furious. “This is their fucking territory.”Clark exhaled sharply, running a hand down his face.“Then why the h

His mind was spinning, Chloe’s words echoing in his head.“You never miss a chance to make me feel like an object.”“But guess what, Jerry? I’m not an object.”His jaw clenched.“When have I ever treated you like an object?” he asked, his voice unusually quiet—almost confused.Chloe scoffed, rolling her eyes.Jerry, however, wasn’t done.His mind raced, trying to piece together where the hell he had gone wrong.
