HANNAH. I watch in disbelief as Roxanne’s parents, a wealthy and respected looking couple, look at Daniel with desperation. "If money is what you need," her father says, pulling out a checkbook, "we will pay you whatever amount you want. Just allow Roxanne to stay with you in her final days."
Karen hesitates for a second, her eyes flickering to Daniel before nodding. "Right away, Luna." Daniel arches a brow, a small smirk playing on his lips. "I'm glad you are returning to our room," he teases. "this way, l will take care of you even better." I whirl around, my patience already hangi

She nods faintly, leaning against me as we walk. But just as we reach the steps, Roxanne stumbles. I react instantly, catching her before she can fall. Her hands grip my shoulders for support, and as I pull her upright, our faces end up dangerously too close even for my own comfort. Her breath bru
STACY. “Can you please move that vase a little to the left?” I give instructions to one of the omega servants present in the room. “Yes my lady,” she replies politely with a nod as she moves the vase. The air is buzzing with excitement as I make my way around the dining room, ensuring every de

I smile, warmth spreading through me. “So,” she continues, “how far along are you with the wedding preparations?” I groan. “Honestly? I have no idea. Margaret took it upon herself to plan everything…Now Daniel wants me to plan everything from scratch.” Stacy’s lips curve into a huge smile. “Oh
Daniel strides toward the door, glancing back at me. "Babe, I’ll be right back." “Okay,” I nod, but my throat feels tight as I watch him disappear into the hallway, leaving me alone in the hospital room. For the first time, I wonder if the goddess will forgive me for my wrong assumptions about R
