001 A Nightmare Realized

(Ava)Just one year ago, my life was picture perfect. I had a beautiful daughter with a patient and loving man, Zach Lorne. I still remember his smile, his playful teasing, the day he held Lila for the first time.The thing is, Zach already has a son with his ex, Sienna. And they are still a big part of his life. But I couldn’t care less, I was in love. To my relief, once Zach married me, and I was pregnant, Sienna seemed committed to making our blended family work.All that turns out to be a big fat lie.Then the day that broke my world apart and smashed my heart to a million pieces came:Zach screams at me, brandishing paternity results. His broken heart revealed in his eyes.He had the blood tests. Lila is not his daughter. It was definitive. I’d lied. I’d tricked him for his billion-dollar empire. I argued that I signed a prenup so that theory was ridiculous. That I’d never made love to another man. He was my first and my last. But he wouldn’t have it.He was so angry that da...

002 The Viper’s Voice
(Ava)I push myself up in bed. “I’m going to see my baby.” I start to rip off patches.The doctor puts his hand on my arm. “Ava… Your mental health is in question. Legally, you aren’t allowed to see her.”His words cut through me like a sword. How can they think I would ever hurt my baby?“I am her mother. I will never hurt her! She needs me right now, I have to see her!”The doctor offers a subdued nod. “Ms. Lancaster, I’m sorry. I truly am. But I could lose my job if I take you.”I whisper, voice hard. “I’m going to see Lila, now. Even if I have to crawl there and end up in jail.”“I’ll take you.” The male nurse fixing my IV says with a smile, “Nico, nice to meet you.”He looks like he should be on a most wanted poster with that neck tattoo. But he is my only choice.The doctor holds up his hands. “Okay. I never heard anything,” and leaves the room.***Nico pulls the door open and pulls my wheelchair backwards into the room. He turns the chair to face the bed.And my heart shatter

003 A Mother’s Last Wish
(Ava)The machines beep in slow, steady rhythms, a cruel mockery of the life slipping away from my daughter.Her doctor clears his throat. I barely glance up.“Ms. Lancaster, we’ve done everything we can.” His voice is measured, careful. Like I might shatter if he speaks too plainly. I swallow the lump in my throat. “You’re saying she’s going to die?”He hesitates. “Yes.”The air is thick, suffocating. My ears ring.“I can call a priest if you’d like,” he offers. “For last rites.”I blink, staring at him like he’s speaking a foreign language.Last rites? What good is praying to a god that could let this happen?“No.” My voice is hoarse, raw. “She’s not dying here.”The doctor’s expression falters. “Ava—”“She’s not dying in this place,” I snap, sharper this time. “She’s coming home.”His brows knit together, hesitating, clearly not wanting to argue. “I understand how you feel, Ava, but the law—”“Don’t speak to me about the law,” I cut him off, my voice ice. “Look at her! My baby has

004 A Fiery End
(Ava)What do I do now? I am a woman who just “kidnapped” her daughter from the hospital and watched her die in my arms. The police will be here anytime to take me away. Then I'll no doubt be put in a mental institution forever, courtesy of Sienna.I don’t want that. In fact, I don't want anything in this world that I can't share with Lila.I should scream. I should rage. But all that’s left is silence.I head to the shed.I find gasoline.I move through the house, pouring gasoline around the perimeter of each room.I let the gasoline cover the memories I have in each room.The smell is awful but that doesn’t matter now. Lila can’t smell anything anymore.I wash my hands and light some tea candles, and I throw them on the floor.I watch the flames catch and spread slowly.I go back to Lila.The other candles I place safely on the sideboard near the window away from the gasoline-soaked floor. For now.I snuggle into the cushions and blankets and lift my daughter onto my lap and rock

005 Going Back
(Ava)My skin is damp with sweat, my pulse pounding in my ears. The first thing I see is my bedroom ceiling, the bedroom I shared with Zach as a happily married woman. I whip my head around, my gaze darting across the room in frantic disbelief. I haven’t been in this room for so long. Not since Zach kicked me out after the divorce.Everything is here. The familiar four-poster bed, the pale pink walls, the scattered stuffed animals across the floor—Lila’s toys, as if time has stood still. I clutch the sheets in my fists, my mind spiraling. Was it all a dream? A hallucination? Did I imagine everything? No. The fire. The smoke. Holding Lila’s limp body in my arms. The searing pain in my lungs as the flames devoured everything around us. I can still feel it. I can still hear Zach screaming my name from outside the burning house. But… I’m here.A soft whimper cuts through my thoughts. I listen hard and hear a noise I know well. Lila when she’s sleeping. I watched her countless tim

006 What’s Up With My Wife?
(Zach)Sunday mornings at the Lorne estate are sacred—my one carved-out moment in a life otherwise owned by contracts, shareholders.Sienna takes the kids, leaving Ava and I to catch up on more personal affairs for a few hours. And usually we fill those hours focusing on the pleasures we have to offer each other.Sundays are not for work. My home is not for business. That is my one hard and fast rule.Which is why I’m two seconds away from smashing my phone when I see the name on the screen. Michelle. My new trainee assistant. She’s been on the job for a month. The company policies are made very clear. The only person who can contact me is my PA Cal, and it would have to be life or death. I step into the hallway outside our bedroom door, lowering my voice. “This better be good.” She stammers immediately. “I-I’m sorry, Mr. Lorne, but the Berlin contract needs your approval—the European board’s pressing for confirmation before noon on the 18th—” I grind my molars. “Michelle, the e

007 Protecting Lila
(Ava)Zach and Kai are still at the ice cream truck when I notice Sienna drifting my way. She stops a few feet from our blanket and waves at Lila with a sugary smile. Then she shifts her weight from one foot to the other. “They’re taking forever. That line is ridiculous.”I don’t respond right away. Lila tries to grab my necklace, and I gently guide her hand to my shirt instead. My heart thumps, but I keep my face neutral.Sienna lowers herself onto the blanket, smoothing her sundress over her knees. “Mind if I join you?” She doesn’t wait for my answer, just tucks her legs underneath her. She’s so perfectly poised. Everything about her is perfect. Outwardly.I watch her from the corner of my eye. “Sure,” I say calmly. “We can wait together.”She turns to look at Lila. “Hello, sweet girl. Want Auntie Si Si to hold you for a while?” Her arms stretch toward my daughter. “We always have so much fun together, don’t we?”“She seems a little clingy today.” I say as Lila hugs into me a

008 Planning Ahead
(Ava)My shoulders square. “I do want them to have everything, yes. But not at anyone’s expense.”She narrows her gaze. “Meaning?”I swallow. “Just that no one in this family should have to sacrifice too much for the others.”She laughs lightly, but it sounds hollow. “Sacrifice is part of parenting. You’ll learn that more and more with Lila. You do whatever it takes to protect your child.”I hear an edge in her words and feel a chill. “I agree. I’ll do anything for Lila.”“And I’ll do anything for Kai,” she says. Her gaze flicks toward the ice cream truck line, where Zach and Kai are clowning around. Then her eyes shift back to me. “Sometimes, hard choices have to be made. You understand that, right?”I focus on Lila’s rhythmic breathing, the warmth of her tiny body resting on my lap. “I understand hard choices,” I say quietly. “I also understand the difference between doing what’s right and… crossing lines.”Sienna’s lips curve into a slight smile. “Of course, everything is black a

009 Torn Desires
(Ava)I’m pacing the edge of our rooftop terrace, our private haven. We don’t sleep up here. It’s more for… intimacy. I’m as nervous as I was on that first night as a virgin at my twenty-first birthday party. But for different reasons. Now, it’s because of what I do know, not what I don’t know.Watching the neon haze of the Las Vegas skyline sprawl out in the distance. Just a few miles down the highway, the Strip glitters like a mirage in the desert night. We were married in Vegas. Conceived Lila that same night, my first time.From here—our mansion perched on the outskirts of Henderson—you can see everything: shimmering lights, endless roads, the hush of a city that never truly sleeps. It’s breathtakingly beautiful. But I can’t seem to enjoy the view I always loved tonight.My heart pounds. Lila’s asleep in her nursery two floors below, a baby monitor screen placed on a small glass table nearby, the volume turned low. I glance over every few seconds, half-expecting some shri

010 Uncontrollable
(Ava)I tense more. He notices my frown. “Hey,” he murmurs, voice gentler now. “I’m here, Ava. Talk to me.”Like I can speak when his lips are on my neck, nibbling my ear lobe.I can’t tell him the truth—that I’m terrified of losing Lila again, that I’ve lived an entire future he hasn’t.Instead, I lean into my natural reaction to him. I try to close my thoughts off just for now and simply feel.I slide my arms around his neck. “Kiss me,” I manage, desperate to drown out my thoughts in the one thing that has always felt real between us.He doesn’t hesitate. His lips capture mine in a rush, fervent and insistent. His tongue brushing mine. But not hard. More gentle and inquiring than insistent.My fingers tangle in his hair, and for a moment, I let myself get lost in the taste of him, the warmth, the sense of belonging that used to be the cornerstone of our marriage.Every breath is an intoxication of what we once had—of what could still be, if I manage to stop the betrayal that thr
