2025-03-06 08:30:00Kate paced back and forth in the living room, her arms folded tightly across her chest. The soft silk of her nightwear clung to her skin, but she barely noticed.
Her usually composed demeanor was gone, replaced by frustration and panic. She was alone now—no Ryan around to keep up her act.The moment he left for work, the fear had begun creeping in.Who had called Ryan last night?Who was the person who put that call through about her miscarriage?Kate’s heart pounded at the thought. She had been careful. Very careful. The entire hospital visit had been staged perfectly.Rolly had helped her pull the strings, and the medical staff involved had been paid handsomely to keep their mouths shut. No one was supposed to know the truth—so who had slipped up?She replayed Ryan’s reaction in her head from the previous night. He had looked disturbed, but he hadn’t said much.That meant he was still trying to confirm whatever he had heard. She knew Ryan w

Meanwhile, back at Rolly’s apartment, Kate was sitting cross-legged on the couch, her fingers gripping a steaming cup of coffee. Rolly, now fully awake and dressed, sat beside her, smirking as she scrolled through her phone.“You’re trending, babe.” Rolly chuckled, turning the screen to show her. The headline read:KATE ANDREWS—VICTIM OR MASTER MANIPULATOR?Kate snatched the phone, scrolling furiously through the comments. Most were calling her a liar, saying Serena had handled herself with grace and class while Kate had played the victim.Her stomach twisted.She had expected some backlash, but not this much.Kate set the phone down, rubbing her temples. “This isn’t good, Rolly. First the call to Ryan, now this? Everything is crumbling.”Rolly, unfazed, took a sip of her drink. “Relax. That’s why we’re handling it.”Kate looked at her sharply. “And how exactly are we handling it?”Rolly smirked. “First, we find out who made that call. T

Kate’s hands clenched into fists as she and Rolly pushed their way through the crowded airport. Her heart was hammering inside her chest, but she forced herself to stay composed. She couldn’t afford to lose her cool now.“We need to find her before she gets on that plane,” Rolly murmured, her voice tense as she kept glancing around. “Did you get a good look at her picture when I showed you?”Kate nodded sharply. “Of course, Rolly. I’m not that dumb. I memorized it.”The image of Lillian Williams was burned into her mind—the woman who had made that call to Ryan, who had almost ruined everything. Kate didn’t know how or why the nurse had done it, but she was going to get answers today.And if Lillian dared to say anything to Ryan again…Kate’s jaw tightened.She wouldn’t allow it.The Boston flight hadn’t left yet, which meant Lillian had to be somewhere in this airport. Kate scanned the terminal, her eyes darting over the crowd, searching, h

That evening at Serena’s office, Serena sighed as she leaned back in her chair, stretching her arms above her head. The day had been long, but finally, she was wrapping things up. She glanced at the clock—just a few minutes more, and she would be out of here.Her office was already half-packed for the night. The documents she had been reviewing were stacked neatly on her desk, her laptop was shut, and all that was left was to grab her handbag and coat before heading home.Amy had insisted on going to Aunt Emma’s office to be with her, and Serena had accepted.As she was already rounding up to make her way out of her office, Emma walked in, holding Amy’s hand. The little girl skipped beside her, grinning widely as she ran straight into her mother’s open arms.“Mommy!” Amy chirped happily, wrapping her arms around Serena’s waist.Serena bent down slightly, kissing the top of her daughter’s head. “Hey, sweetheart. Did you have fun with Aunt Emma?”

That night at Serena’s place, she wasn’t expecting any visitors. After a long day at work, all she wanted was to rest. She had just tucked Amy into bed, singing her a soft lullaby until the little girl’s eyes fluttered shut. With a small smile, she brushed a gentle hand over Amy’s forehead before turning off the bedside lamp.As she stepped out of the room, rolling her shoulders to ease the tension in them, the sudden chime of the doorbell made her pause. Her brows furrowed. It was late—who could possibly be visiting at this hour?She moved toward the door, her fingers hesitating on the handle for a moment before she unlocked it and pulled it open.Ryan stood there.A slow smile curved his lips as his dark eyes roamed over her, making her pulse quicken. She hadn’t expected him. Not now. Not like this.She parted her lips, ready to ask why he was here, but before she could say a word, he lifted a finger to her lips, silencing her. The

Ryan pulled up to his house and exhaled heavily, gripping the steering wheel. He knew exactly what awaited him inside—Kate, angry and demanding answers for where he had slept last night without returning home. He wasn’t in the mood for another confrontation, not after the crazy make out night he had with Serena, but there was no way around it. He had to face her.Gathering his composure, he stepped out of the car and made his way to the front door. As soon as he opened it, he saw her.Kate was sitting on the couch, her legs crossed, dressed in nothing but a silky nightgown. Her blonde hair was slightly messy, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying. Tear tracks stained her cheeks, and her lower lip trembled as she glared daggers at him.Ryan sighed. This was exactly what he expected. Kate never disappoints him with acting nonchalant to whatever he does.She sniffled, her voice weak yet sharp. “Where were you last night, Ryan?”He sh

Kate sat on the edge of her bed, staring blankly at her reflection in the mirror. Dark circles framed her eyes, a testament to the restless night she had spent tossing and turning. She hadn’t bothered to apply any makeup—what was the point? Today wasn’t about looking beautiful. It was about sending a message.She didn’t dress to kill, either. Instead, she threw on a plain, oversized sweater and a pair of faded jeans. Her hair, usually styled to perfection, hung loosely over her shoulders, slightly tangled from the way she had run her fingers through it in frustration all night.Today, she wasn’t the glamorous woman people expected her to be. Today, she was a scorned lover, a woman with a broken heart and a tragic story to tell.Taking a deep breath, she grabbed her purse and made her way to Rolly’s apartment.Rolly, her best friend and the only person she could trust, opened the door with a puzzled expression. “Kate? What’s wrong?”Kate steppe

Serena stepped into the company’s lobby that morning, her heels clicking against the polished marble floor. Something felt off the moment she entered. There was a shift in the air, a tension she couldn’t quite place. The usual bright good mornings from her employees were missing. Instead, hushed whispers filled the space. Eyes darted toward her before quickly looking away, as if they had just been caught gossiping.She frowned, her grip tightening around Amy’s small hand. It wasn’t the first time she had walked into the office feeling like she was the subject of discussion, but today, the staring was worse.Amy, sharp as always, tugged on her hand and whispered, “Mommy, why is everyone looking at us like that?”Serena forced a small chuckle, hoping to brush it off. “They’re probably talking about work, sweetheart. Don’t worry about it.”Amy wasn’t convinced. She narrowed her little eyes, glancing around suspiciously before shrugging. Serena, on the oth

Steve Jacob sat in his hotel room, his eyes fixed on the screen of his laptop. The video playing before him had already racked up millions of views, spreading like wildfire across the internet. It was an interview—a scandalous one—featuring a woman who looked painfully familiar. Her eyes were downcast, her face pale with exhaustion, and her entire demeanor screamed misery.Steve leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples as he struggled to place where he had seen her before.The feeling gnawed at him, a frustrating itch at the back of his mind. He rewound the video, watching her face again, analyzing every detail. And then, suddenly, it clicked.Venessa.No—Kate.His breath hitched as realization struck. This was the same woman who had come to him pretending to be Venessa. The same woman he had foolishly trusted, only for his own voice recording to be leaked to the world. She had tricked him. Lied to him. Changed her identity just to g

Ryan gripped the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His jaw was clenched, his mind spinning with frustration, anger, and exhaustion. He couldn’t believe his father had done this to him. He couldn’t believe Kate had let it happen. They had trapped him, boxed him in, and now the whole world believed he was engaged to a woman he didn’t even want to be engaged to.His father had made it clear—there was no way out of this. But Ryan refused to accept that.And now, he needed to clear his head.There was only one place he wanted to be right now.With Serena.Before he could even process the thought fully, he had already made the turn, driving through the quiet streets until he arrived at her building. The lights in her apartment were still on, but he knew it was late. Amy was probably already asleep.Ryan stepped out of the car, barely taking a breath before making his way to her door. He knocked, not even sure what he was going to say wh

Kate turned up the volume on the speakers, letting the upbeat music fill the entire apartment. She danced around the living room with a glass of wine in her hand, laughing as Rolly joined her, their voices blending as they sang along to the lyrics.Tonight was a celebration.Kate twirled, her silk robe swaying around her as she raised her glass in the air. “To my engagement!” she cheered.Rolly clinked her glass against Kate’s with a smirk. “To finally secure your place as Mrs. Winters!”Kate grinned, taking a sip of her wine before collapsing onto the couch. She felt invincible. Everything had fallen into place exactly as she wanted. Mr. Winters had announced the engagement in front of the world, and now, there was no going back.Ryan belonged to her.“Can you believe it?” Kate giggled, placing her glass on the coffee table. “All these years of waiting, and now, it’s finally happening.”Rolly smirked. “You played the game well, babe. Now all th

Serena sat at the dining table, sipping her coffee as she scrolled through her phone. The morning light streamed through the large windows of her apartment, casting a golden hue over the sleek, modern space. It was peaceful—until she saw the headlines flashing across her screen.RYAN WINTERS ENGAGED TO KATE ANDREWS!BILLIONAIRE HEIR FINALLY SETTLES DOWN WITH HIS LONGTIME LOVE!Serena let out a low chuckle, shaking her head. How predictable.She scrolled further, finding pictures from the gala, including the moment Ryan’s father had announced the engagement. Kate looked like she had won the lottery, her face glowing with fake surprise and delight. Ryan, however, was nowhere to be seen. That told Serena everything she needed to know.Ryan had no idea this was happening.She rolled her eyes and took another sip of her coffee.It didn’t matter.She wasn’t stupid. She had always known Ryan was never truly hers. Even when they were married, his he

The Winters mansion was quiet when Mr. Thomas Winters sat in his study, sipping on his whiskey as he carefully planned his next move. He had always been a man of action, someone who didn’t wait around for things to fall into place. If he wanted something done, he made it happen. And right now, there was only one thing on his mind—ensuring his son’s engagement to Kate Andrews.There was no need to confront Ryan about it. His son had always been stubborn, and trying to reason with him would only lead to more delays. No, Thomas had a much better plan.An exclusive gala was being hosted that evening by one of the most influential business moguls in the city, and he had already accepted the invitation on behalf of himself and his wife, Mrs. Winters. It was the perfect opportunity. Ryan needs a push, else he would keep racing about like a kid.The elite of society, the press, and the wealthiest investors would be there. If he made the announcement in front of th

Kate gripped the steering wheel tightly as she sped down the road, her mind racing with a million thoughts. She had barely recovered from her encounter with Steve, but there was no time to dwell on that now. She had bigger problems to deal with. Serena was becoming too much of a threat, and if she didn’t do something fast, she could lose everything.Her jaw clenched as she thought about Ryan, about the way he had dismissed her that morning, brushing off her concerns as if they were nothing. He was slipping away, and she could feel it. Every time she brought up their future, he found a way to change the subject. Every time she mentioned Serena, he avoided looking her in the eye. It was obvious. Serena still had a hold on him, and Kate wasn’t about to let that happen.She needed backup. She needed to make sure Ryan had no choice but to do what was right. And there was only one place she could go where she knew she would get the support she needed.The W

Kate sat on the edge of Rolly’s couch, her nails tapping impatiently against the glass coffee table as she relayed everything that had happened that morning. She was still fuming from her argument with Ryan, still furious that he had the audacity to take down her interview without even discussing it with her.“He took it down, Rolly. Just like that. Like I was some liar, like I was spreading false stories when everything I said was the truth!”Rolly leaned back on the couch, a smirk playing at the corners of her lips as she took a slow sip of her coffee. “I told you, you’re losing your grip on him. The more you let Serena run around freely, the more control you lose.”Kate scowled. “And that’s exactly why I need to act fast. I can’t keep waiting around, hoping Ryan will finally do the right thing and put a ring on my finger. Serena is lurking in the background with her little girl, and Ryan is falling for the trap.”Rolly arched her brow. “So, what’s your p

Kate stretched her arms lazily as the morning sun streamed through the window. She turned to the side, finding the other half of the bed empty. Jake was already awake, sitting on the edge of the bed, pulling on his jeans. His broad shoulders tensed as he buttoned them, and without looking at her, he muttered,“So, what is this, Kate? You call me when you need me, and then you kick me out like I’m some damn delivery service?”Kate sighed, running a hand through her hair. She had barely gotten any sleep, her mind too consumed with frustration over Ryan. She sat up, the silk sheets pooling around her waist, and rolled her eyes.“Jake, you knew what this was from the beginning. Don’t act like you expected anything more.”Jake turned, his jaw tightening. “You think I don’t know what you’re doing? You use me when things with Ryan don’t go your way. Every damn time, Kate. And the moment you’re done, you shove me out the door.”Kate stood, slipping on her robe as sh

Ryan pulled up in front of Serena’s house, the headlights of his car illuminating the driveway. It was late—later than he had planned—but Amy had been so full of energy after their day out that it had taken a while to finally get her to agree to head home. Now, however, the little girl was barely keeping her eyes open. She clutched her stuffed bunny tightly, resting her head against Ryan’s chest as he carried her toward the front door.The moment Serena opened it, Amy perked up, her drowsiness temporarily forgotten.“Mommy!” she squealed excitedly. “We had so much fun today! Daddy bought me so many things—look!”Serena’s eyes moved to the multiple shopping bags Ryan had placed on the floor beside him. There were far too many. She crossed her arms, shooting him a sharp glance.“Ryan, this is too much.”Ryan simply smirked. “It’s not.”“It is.”Amy, completely oblivious to the tension between her parents, kept blabbering. “We went to the

Ryan adjusted his grip on Amy’s tiny hand as they walked out of the office building, her small feet practically skipping beside him. The excitement radiating off her was undeniable, and he couldn’t help but smile at the way she kept glancing up at him with bright eyes.“Where are we going first, Daddy?” Amy asked eagerly, swinging their joined hands.Ryan glanced down at her, amused by her enthusiasm. “Where do you want to go?”Amy pursed her lips in thought. “A fun place!” she finally declared.Ryan chuckled. “That’s not very specific, princess.”She giggled. “Maybe the movies? Can we watch a movie first?”“Of course,” Ryan agreed without hesitation. “Let’s find a good one.”They reached his car, and Ryan helped Amy into the back seat, fastening her seatbelt before getting into the driver’s seat. He pulled out his phone and quickly searched for the nearest luxury cinema that had child-friendly movies playing. Within seconds, he found a the
