EMMA POV

After a few minutes of discussion, they both finally walked back to the dining table.

“Well, what happened?” She asked, her gaze on Daniel and her father, it was as if she was expecting something to happen at that moment.

“Nothing happened, we only discussed something important” Mr Gave said

“Oh..” Racheal blurted

“What were you expecting?” Mrs Gave asked

“Well, we were in the middle of an important discussion, about Daniel's marriage, perhaps we could continue now” Rachael said

Why do I sense something weird about her?

“Yeah right” Mr Gave finally came to his senses

I cleared my throat silently, my hands on my mouth and I adjusted properly on the chair.

“Where did we stop?” Mr Gave asked

I glared at the table, hoping Racheal wouldn't say ‘We asked if she was pregnant’

“Well…” Rachael said

I held the glass cup which was filled with water, waiting for a moment to sip the water if Rachael reminds them about the weird question they asked her

    EMMA POVI shook my head, frustrated. "Of course it’s not real, Daniel. This is just, just… temporary, yeah temporary. We both know that.""If you think this is not real and you decide not to follow up with our plan,What do you think will happen if our cover is blown?" he snapped. His voice was low, but the edge was sharp. "This isn’t just about us. It’s about my position in the company, we can't afford to lose or act slow at the moment. You need to think of a proper way to handle it."I could feel my irritation rising. "How about you?" I shot back. "You’re in this just as much as I am. This was your idea, remember? You can't put everything on me and when you achieve everything you want, you let go of me just like that""My parents need to see me settled," he said, his voice cool. "Once they hand over my position, it doesn’t matter if we stay together or not. It’ll be on me, not you anymore." He stepped out of the car, and I followed, trailing a few steps behind.As we entered the li

    Natalie and Emma hasn't spoken for days and Ava has been very busy and she was happy that their plan has been going well and successful, Emma had decided to stay with Daniel only for temporary.---Ava sighed deeply, her heels clicking softly on the pavement as she approached her front door. The sun was dipping below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow across the neighborhood. She had just come from Emma’s house, running errands on her behalf again. It wasn’t like Emma to be so distant, but with everything going on, Ava figured it was only natural.But there, leaning casually against Ava’s front gate, was Natalie.Ava’s expression darkened instantly. “Why are you here?”Natalie’s lips curled into a sly, almost mocking smile. “Oh, don’t act so surprised. Seems like I’m the bad guy now, huh?”Ava didn’t even bother to respond. Instead, she rolled her eyes, her irritation barely concealed. “Emma isn’t around, if that’s what you came for.”“I just want to talk,” Natalie said, her tone

    ROBERT AND NINAROBERTThe hospital's sterile corridors stretched out like a labyrinth of lost hopes, echoing the whispers of the wounded. Fluorescent lights above cast an unforgiving glare, illuminating the frailty of human existence. Every step resonated with the weight of uncertainty, each door hiding a story of joy or despair.In the wards, rows of beds held the fragile bodies of loved ones, their faces etched with pain, fear, and longing. Monitors beeped like anxious heartbeats, tracking the delicate balance between life and death. The scent of antiseptic and desperation hung heavy in the air.In this sacred space, families clung to fragile threads of hope, praying for miracles.

    DANIEL POVI ended the call and looked over at Emma, still curled under the blankets, her breathing slow and steady. She was in the early stages of pregnancy, and her body was already working hard, making her more tired than usual. But now was not the time to let her rest.I approached the bed and gently placed a hand on her shoulder. “Emma,” I said, my voice soft but firm. “Wake up, how are you feeling? I am sorry i disrupt your sleep.”She stirred, blinking sleepily at me. “What’s wrong? Why did you wake me up all of a sudden? Is there a problem?” she murmured, her words slurred with sleep.I hesitated, hating the thought of breaking this news to her, but there was no way around it. “Ava just called. Your mom... she’s in the hospital. It’s critical.”Emma’s eyes shot open, all traces of drowsiness vanishing. “What? My mom is in the hospital? How did that even happen?” she gasped, pushing herself up on the bed, her movements frantic. “How is that possible? Hospital all of a sudden? S

Truly,I am grateful”.Natalie watched me, her expression softening a bit. “How about her treatment?” she asked, tone practical but probing. “Should they proceed? Do we keep her here? Or… should she be at home, resting with her medications? You have to select one so they can work on her treatment quickly”My gaze slid over to Daniel, who’d been standing quietly just behind her.

But his feet felt leaden, held back by the weight of years of unspoken words, regrets, and the tangled mess their lives had become.“Does she… know I’m here?” Robert finally asked, his voice barely more than a whisper.Doctor Caleb shook his head. “Not yet.

Time to introduce yourself ”“I don't think I should do that, Daniel hasn't introduced us yet” Robert said, his voice barely above a whisper.---Back in her room, Emma shifted restlessly, her gaze fixed on the ceiling.

Suddenly, a familiar voice broke the tranquility."Emma."I turned to see Natalie standing behind me, her eyes tinged with a mix of guilt and hesitation."Hey, still here?" I replied softly, my curiosity piqued.Natalie's gaze darted around the hospital corridor before settling on me. "I'm heading home, but I wanted to just stop buy before leaving and apologise for...everything." Her voice trembled.I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What's going on, Natalie? You're being really cryptic, you did nothing wrong."Natalie took a step closer, her eyes locking onto mine. "I know I shouldn't have said such a thing that day. I was stressed, and I took it out on you. I'm so sorry."My expression softened. "It's nothing, Natalie. Friends fight, and we settle." I offered a reassuring smile.Natalie's f
