Crimson rushed to Elysium Tower, his chest tight with a whirlwind of uncontrollable emotions. Fear, anger, and worry slammed through him simultaneously, making positive thinking a huge struggle.

The immense glass building cast a shadow over him, mocking him with its sheer size, as if daring him to find his daughter within its vast confines.

His breaths came in ragged bursts as he pushed through the revolving doors, scanning the luxury lobby for Celestine. And there she was, standing with a look of fear in her eyes as he hurried toward her.

"Where is Cleo?" he muttered calmly, his gaze so intense that if looks could kill, her body would have been riddled with bullet holes.

"I don't know! The child was gone when I checked the car!" she replied, masking her fear with anger. "Why are you staring at me as if it's my fault? I'm a victim too! I had no idea she had gotten into my car!"

"You never admit to your mistakes! I don't want to hear any more excuses!"

Celestine shrank back in fear. Sh

    Stepping off the plane, I felt the caress of the afternoon breeze on my skin. The journey had been exhausting, my body sore from hours of being stuck in my seat. And yet, despite the fatigue, my mind was buzzing with a multitude of tasks that required my attention.Sapphire, my stepsister, insisted we head to the hotel and get some rest. But I shook my head. “Not yet,” I told her. “I have something important to attend to.”She frowned. “You’re exhausted, Liz. The ancestral house can wait.”It couldn’t."It's okay. You go to the Queen's Courtyard first. I'll join you later after I finish what I have to," I said, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder."Alright,” she heaved a resigned sigh. “I really want to come with you, but I'm just too tired. I haven't slept at all during the flight, so I'll get some rest. See you at the hotel.”I let out a sigh of relief.“See you at the hotel.” I smiled before our paths diverged. She strode toward the airport's main exit, where a Range Rover st

    "Your grandmother's grave?" I stammered, trying to comprehend what she had just said. My mind spun in disbelief, but I quickly regained my composure, convinced there must be a mistake.There was no way she could be his child! The odds were slim to none."Which grave is your grandma's?" I forced the words out, the lump in my throat making it difficult to speak. The sound of my racing heart seemed to fill my ears.The little girl looked at me with confusion in her eyes, then silently walked over to the graveyard. She pointed to a headstone with the name Esperanza Phoenix elegantly carved into it.The odds of Crimson's daughter being the first stranger I encountered in the cemetery were one in a million, and yet here she was before me.Was this a twist of fate, or just a random coincidence? I couldn't say for sure, but the inexplicable mix of emotions that washed over me—a strange blend of happiness and sadness—made me question my sanity. Was I losing my mind?Kneeling on the grass, I ga

    Tears soaked my lashes. It was the most beautiful thing someone had ever said to me—their warmth wrapped around me like a blanket, soothing the jagged edges of a day that had been filled with exhaustion.I looked down at her, this little beacon of innocence, and felt a swell of emotion so strong it threatened to overflow. “Thank you, sweetheart,” I managed to say, my voice shaking a bit. “You have no idea how much that means to me.”She smiled, showing dimples on both her cheeks. “You were there when I needed someone to talk to. You must be my guardian angel.”I chuckled softly, brushing a stray lock of hair from her forehead. “I’m not an angel, but I’m glad I can be there for you.”I opened the back door of the car and turned to the little girl beside me. Her wide and trusting eyes met mine. “Come on, sweetheart, let’s get you buckled in,” I said gently, lifting her with ease. She was tall for her age, but she felt surprisingly light in my arms—so much so that I could lift her with j

    I watched Sapphire’s face closely, her porcelain skin now drained of its usual rosy hue. The words had slipped out before I could stop them, and now there was no turning back.“Cleo is Crimson’s daughter,” I confessed, my voice barely audible."You mean your ex husband?" She gasped, her eyes widening. "The one you were together with for six years, and then he chose your best friend and got her pregnant?”"Yes," I confirmed, causing her to stumble backward, her hand grasping the edge of the couch for support."R-really?" she stammered, her voice trembling. "I can't believe it," she muttered, clearly more affected by the truth than I was.My gaze fell upon Cleo. She was busy inspecting the room and was not paying attention. Once again, I found myself wondering whether our meeting was a coincidence or destiny.Sapphire regained her composure, her shock giving way to curiosity. Questions danced in her eyes, but she held them back when a knock echoed through the room, interrupting our conv

    Observing the little girl walk away made my chest tight.. It's strange how, despite our recent meeting, I felt as though I had known her for a lifetime.Perhaps my longing for my son is the reason I feel a strong connection to Cleo; her blonde hair and green eyes bear a striking resemblance to Blaze, my little boy whom I miss dearly.When the door to the presidential suite opened, I immediately shut the balcony door and concealed myself behind the curtains. I couldn't let Crimson see me—not yet.Crimson entered the room, his striking features etched with concern as he lifted the little girl into his arms and held her close. I swallowed hard, feeling a lump form in my throat. Time had been kind to him, like a fine wine aging gracefully.I observed him comfort the little girl, revealing a tender and nurturing side of him that was new to me. Though I couldn't understand a word he said, I knew that he was offering words of comfort to the child.It was in moments like these that I remember

    “Isn’t that a bit harsh?” I murmured under my breath when the employee disappeared from sight."Harsh?" Samantha echoed. "That's just the tip of the iceberg compared to what she's done to you in the past, Liz. I know all about the names she's called you and the vile rumors she's spread. Every time I see her, it makes me angry.”“But that was four years ago… She might have changed,” I suggested, which made my best friend shake her head."I doubt a leopard can change its spots,” Sam remarked as we walked toward the banquet hall where the Ashford wedding anniversary celebration would take place in a few days.Feeling unsure of how to respond, I remained silent. Sapphire was in charge of the preparation, and so she was there, giving orders to the employees. When she spotted Sam and me, she raised her hand and waved before returning to work.“I can't believe that she's the same woman who once pushed you into the pool and you nearly drowned,” Samantha murmured beside me, making me suppress

    Ashford ResidenceIn the midst of a solemn dinner, Cleo lifted her head and announced in a soft voice, “I have found a new mommy!”The declaration echoed, causing forks and knives to pause mid-air. Every head turned to gaze at her in astonishment, not least of which was her father’s, whose spoon hovered forgotten inches from his open mouth."Didn't I tell you not to speak with your mouth full?" Crimson scolded, attempting to sound authoritative, but the young girl remained unperturbed. After finishing her food and clearing her mouth, she spoke again.“She had blonde hair and green eyes like me,” she added innocently.Crimson could only let out a heavy sigh in response. It seemed that since their return from Queen's Courtyard, he had heard the same story from Cleo more times than he could count. She couldn't seem to stop talking about the mysterious woman who had accompanied her, brought her back to the hotel, and even fed her delicious meals.The child kept claiming the woman who foun

    Sapphire Everheart fidgeted with unease in her chair, unsure of how to react. She was grateful that Elizabeth was out meeting a client and that she hadn't run into her ex yet. It would be a drama waiting to unfold.Crossing her arms defiantly, she lifted her chin and spoke rather firmly. "I know you're eager to meet my boss, but please remember that she deals with many clients. Just because you're someone important doesn't mean she'll prioritize you. Ms. Elizabeth is fair and sees clients on a first-come, first-served basis."Crimson felt his cheeks warm up in annoyance. He ran a hand through his hair in frustration. "I understand, but it's been weeks. We have important matters to discuss.""I recommend booking another appointment for next week. Rest assured, you will have the opportunity to talk to her then."“I wonder why your boss is trying to postpone our meeting,” Crimson blurted, furrowing his brows. “It also strikes me as odd that my daughter mentioned the woman who saved her w

    Crimson gently wrapped his arms around my waist as I rested my head on his chest and closed my eyes. It had been an hour since we left Isabela's room, but her confession still lingered in my mind.Part of me wished I had never learned the truth, but another part of me was grateful for the closure it brought."I wish I had been with my grandmother in her final moments so she could have shared the truth with me instead of my cousin. I wish I could have told her that I don't blame her; that despite her mistake, she remains the kindest person I know. I believe she wouldn't have done anything unless she was pushed to her limit.”I raised my head to look at him. Witnessing the frown on his forehead, I smoothed it away with my fingers until it vanished."I have my own regrets too," I whispered, feeling a tightness in my throat from the flood of emotions. "I wish I had discovered the truth sooner, so I didn't chase after it blindly. And I wish I could have reunited Grandpa with the woman he l

    It was supposed to be a happy day for my family to enjoy. Unfortunately, some things are beyond one's control. After we returned home from the picnic, Crimson received a call.I watched as his handsome face twisted with worry, the color draining from his features as he met my gaze.“Is everything alright? Who called you just now? What happened?” The words spilled from my lips one after another.I tried to restrain my thoughts so they wouldn't wander to terrifying conclusions, but they did anyway. It was hard not to think that something bad had happened while watching his reaction.“There's an emergency at home… Isabela was rushed to the hospital.” Worry rang painfully in his tone.Crimson cared deeply for his cousin, and the news of her being rushed to the hospital was a blow he had never expected.Fear and worry gripped me as well, knowing how important Isabela was to him.We immediately rushed back to the hotel and dropped Cleo in Sapphire's care since we couldn't bring her to the h

    I stared at the ring on my finger, feeling overwhelmed with emotions. I had dreamed of this moment a thousand times before, but it was far more beautiful and magical than I could have ever imagined.“Do you like it? I could have given you a much more beautiful ring. However, I got too excited and bought this one instead because I was at a loss as to which design you would like.”“You're kidding, right? This ring is so gorgeous! Why wouldn’t I like it?”Crimson's face lit up at my words. At that moment, he looked so damn cute that I couldn't resist pinching his cheeks.“I’m glad you like it. I was a bit hesitant to give it at first because the design is simple and not as extravagant as some of the other rings out there.”“It’s perfect.”He pulled me into a tight hug, his arms wrapped around me protectively. “I love you so much, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I'll wait for you until you're ready to marry me.”I hugged him back, knowing that this moment would for

    My eyes swept the room, but it seemed the one I was looking for wasn't present among them.Sighing, I turned to look at my brother, David. He was saying something, but I wasn't paying attention, so I missed most of his words.“Liz, are you with me?”Color rose to my cheeks. “I beg your pardon?”He cleared his throat. “I'm asking if you're looking for someone. You've been spaced out for a while now. Are you waiting for a secret admirer or something?” He teased me.I rolled my eyes heavenward. "Oh, stop it. I'm just enjoying the party.”When the dance ended, David walked to the side, leaving me alone in the middle of the room, confused.The orchestra stopped, and the room was engulfed in total silence.Suddenly, the man who had been occupying my thoughts emerged from the crowd. He walked with the elegance of a king and seemed to own the crowd as he passed by.My breath hitched in my throat. Am I imagining things? I asked myself, watching him close the distance between us.He stopped rig

    I sat by Crimson's bedside in the hospital, holding his hand tightly as he lay unconscious after his operation. I knew he was strong, but the thought of losing him was too much to bear. My phone rang, breaking the silence of the room. It was Sapphire, my stepsister. “I need you to come to the police station. The officers want to talk to you to get your statement." "I'll be right there," I sighed. My eyes went to Crimson, and I fought back the tears. “I have to go,” I told him, pressing my lips to his forehead. When I arrived at the police station, Sapphire was sitting in a small room, surrounded by police officers. She looked pale, perhaps because she had lost too much blood. But she seemed okay, and that was all that mattered. Chief Dallas spotted me. He stood up and gestured for me to follow. In a separate room, he interrogated me about what happened in the warehouse. I provided him with a detailed account. The interrogation lasted an hour, and when it finally ended, I coul

    Please leave. I wanted to say those words to him, but I couldn't speak.The door opened, and Crimson entered the room.“Let her go, Mark!”The man Crimson called Mark grabbed the gun from his hip holster and pointed it at me. “Give me your gun.”When Crimson didn’t even budge, Mark pressed the muzzle of the gun against my head. The cold, hard metal dug into my skin. I was terrified he would accidentally pull the trigger."I said give me your gun or her brains will splatter on the floor," he threatened.I gently shook my head, signaling Crimson never to let go of his gun. We both knew that once he relinquished his only weapon, it would be our end."I'm sorry, Liz. I need to do this to protect you," he told me. Slowly, he lowered the gun to the floor."Kick the gun away."Crimson ground his teeth together and did what Mark ordered. He kicked the gun, and it slid near Sapphire's still body.Indescribable fear seized me as I watched Mark raise the gun and point it toward Crimson's head.

    When I returned to Queen's Courtyard, Samantha was already waiting in my office, seated on the plush couch. The moment I entered the room, she looked at me and asked, “How are your medical results? I hope everything's fine.” Feeling like my legs would collapse, I slumped onto the single couch opposite her and sighed. “I’m pregnant.” The words emerged from my lips.She blinked rapidly, slowly digesting my words. “Come again?”“You heard it right, Sam.”She finally stopped eating her buttered toast and set the half-finished treat down on the table."You've got to be kidding me.”I shook my head. “I wish I was, but it’s true. I just found out this afternoon from my medical results. I really am pregnant.”Her palms cradled her forehead as though she suddenly had a headache. “You're not in a relationship, Elizabeth. You don't even have a boyfriend, nor have you been dating anyone so how can you be pregnant?” “Does your brother know? Is Sapphire aware of your pregnancy?” she asked frantic

    Opening my eyes, I tried to piece together what happened last night. The events of the night came rushing back to me in fragments, like a puzzle being assembled. The memory of his touch, his kisses, and his passion flooded back, sending a flush of heat to my cheeks.I turned my head to look at Crimson, still asleep beside me. His face was relaxed, peaceful in sleep.What have I done?I instinctively freed myself from his arms, feeling a twinge of soreness between my thighs from the night before as I got up from the bed.“Elizabeth?” Crimson sleepily opened his eyes and looked at me. I could see confusion clouding his gazeHe looked at my nakedness. He ran a hand through his tousled hair, his cheeks turning tomato red, perhaps recalling what happened last night..“About last night—”“Please forget about it.” I cut him off before he could finish his words.Silence filled the room, the tension in the air swelling like a balloon.“I can't do that!” The harshness in his voice surprised me.

    Finally, Samantha's wedding day arrived.It was held in a luxurious resort with a breathtaking view of the ocean. The sun was shining mildly, the sky was clear, and a gentle breeze was blowing through the air.There were a hundred guests in attendance, including the bride and groom’s close friends and family members.Samantha was glowing as she walked down the aisle, her white dress shimmering in the sunlight. Her groom was waiting for her at the altar, with a look of pure love in his eyes.I wasn't the type to easily feel envious. However, at that moment, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy while watching the beautiful ceremony unfold.The ceremony was intimate and heartfelt, with Samantha and her groom exchanging vows that brought tears to the eyes of the guests.After the wedding, the reception was a lavish affair, complete with delicious food, dancing, and toasts to the happy couple.I was having fun until I spotted Crimson in the crowd, accompanied by a stunning woman.
