OLIVIA

I walked out of the lecture hall, fists clenched at my sides, and my thoughts spiraling with disbelief and frustration.

Everything Miss Elowen said during her lectures replayed in my head, my anger rising.

All this time, all these years, and she had the nerve to stand there in front of the class and call my work perfect?

The hypocrisy burned.

“Olivia!”

I had just turned toward the cafeteria when I heard my name. I stopped and spun around to see Miss Elowen hurrying up behind me.

Talk about the devil.

What did she want now? And since when did she say my name without that familiar tone of disdain?

“How are you?” she asked as she reached me.

I raised an eyebrow.

Since when did she care how I was?

“I’m fine,” I said casually, adjusting my bag on my shoulder. “Although I have to say, it’s surprising that you even care.”

Her brows pulled together. “What do you mean?” she asked, trying to sound genuinely confused.

“That was my work, wasn’t it? On the projector?” I said, getting str

    MICHAELI stared down at the photos on my desk, rage simmering in my veins. They were photos from Christian’s latest adventure—him and that fake baby-mama-to-be, all smiles like they hadn’t left a trail of lies behind them.With a sharp breath, I slammed my fist against the wood, rattling the files stacked. “Asshole.” I scoffed, my lips curling in disgust.So he had the audacity to jet around while the rest of us were left swimming in his pool of manipulation? After all the lies, deceit and humiliation, he decided to have fun? How dare he?”You should focus on Blackwood Foods…”Grandfather’s voice echoed in my mind and my fingers tightened in anger. Focus? After I handed him hard proof that Christian was a liar and a thief? After he brushed it off as ‘irrelevant’?I bit down on my lip, tapping my foot on the ground. I took one more look at the photos and in anger, I grabbed them, crushed them into a ball, and tossed them into the trash without a second glance.If focus was what

    CHRISTIANI glanced at the screen of the laptop sitting on my desk, rubbing my jaw as thoughts raced through my head.We needed to improve production in every sector of Blackwood Enterprise that I managed, and to do that, I had to think about the workers too. Motivation played a big role in performance, so I had to use that. Would a five percent increase in salary help? Maybe I needed to throw in some incentives as well and it could go a long way.Letting out a sigh, I leaned back in my chair and pressed my thumb to the bridge of my nose. Now that all the fun with Olivia in Greece was over, it was time to get back to work. I was neck-deep in duties I’d ignored, and the pile of unfinished tasks wasn’t getting any smaller.I’d let myself enjoy the vacation a little too much. I got caught up in the moments with her, just relaxing, laughing, forgetting all the usual stress. It had been a good break. A necessary one. I spent so much of my time buried in work that I barely did anything els

My eyes fluttered open against the soft shine of morning sunlight streaming through the window above my bed.
I lay there for a moment, staring at the ceiling, a lazy smile tugging at my lips. No lectures today. Which meant I could guiltlessly walk around and do absolutely nothing.
Pure bliss. 
A whole day away from the emotional, mental, and physical chaos that school came with was magical. And honestly, I needed the break, especially after my last encounter with Miss Elowen. 
I sat up, letting out a long yawn as I stretched, then swung my legs off the bed and made my way to the bathroom. Reaching for my toothbrush, I squeezed out a blob of toothpaste and began brushing, glancing up at the mirror….and paused.
Was that… extra weight I could see? And my chin?
I tilted my head slightly. Yep, definitely a little rounder.
How did that even happen? It’s not like I’d been over eating lately.
Or… had I?
Christian never stopped me from ordering whatever I wanted while we were

I staggered backward, a shaky breath leaving my lips as I stared at the test stick clutched between my trembling fingers.
Two lines. That meant it was positive. 
My fingers trembled harder as the truth settled in—I was pregnant.
I shook my head, eyes wide, and when I couldn’t bear to look at the stick any longer, I dropped it like it burned my fingers.
I was really pregnant. It had happened for real.
A second later, I rushed forward and picked it back up, my hand unsteady. I swallowed hard, staring at the lines again.
Calm down, Olivia. You wanted this, you signed up for this and you knew it would happen. I exhaled, trying to calm myself. 
But how was I supposed to calm down? This wasn’t a walk in the park, I was pregnant.
When I signed that contract with Christian, I knew this day could come. I wasn’t naïve. But knowing it could happen and actually living it were two very different things.
I hadn’t expected to feel this overwhelmed and uncertain. 
With a sigh, I ste

    CHRISTIAN
I lifted the glass and downed the liquor in one go, the burn shooting straight to my eyes.
I’d been drinking nonstop since Olivia told me she was pregnant. The moment she said it, I froze, too overwhelmed to speak, too stunned to process it even though I’d planned all these weeks ago. 
I saw the look on her face, the way she tried to smile through it, how her eyes shimmered with unshed tears. She was fighting to be happy, to keep it together.
And I had no idea what to say.
Instead of dealing with it, I shut down and bottled it all up. 
Now, I was chasing numbness with alcohol, trying to pretend I had it all under control.
Slamming the glass down on the minibar counter, I grabbed the bottle and tipped it, only to realize it was already empty.
Groaning, I got to my feet and stumbled over to the shelf lined with more bottles. I grabbed a new one, popped the cap, and took a long gulp before making my way back to the desk.
Just then, my office door flew open. “Christian,

I yawned as I opened my eyes, the soft light coming through the curtains. I rolled onto my side, still under the warm sheets, and let out a heavy sigh. My hand reached out for my phone on the nightstand and when I found it, the screen lit up, too bright for my tired eyes.
There was one message and it was from Grace.
‘Paycheck received from Mr. Blackwood. I will deliver it soon.’
I stared at the screen for a few seconds, then tossed the phone aside with a sigh. I had been excited to get my first paycheck, that was before I found out I was pregnant. 
I sighed again, rubbing my face. 
Five million dollars, for the baby growing inside me. 
At first, it felt like a good plan, when James was dying and I was desperate. It was easy back then to make the decision and I barely thought about the future. But now? It felt like I had made a bad trade with someone who didn’t care about me, like I had given away something too important.
I sat up, groaning a little, and placed a hand

“Phew!” Ophelia said, flipping her hair back as we walked toward her office. “That was a great lunch, don’t you think?”
She glanced at me, waiting for a response. I gave her a small smile and nodded. “Of course.”
We had barely spoken during the meal, so I was a little surprised she was talking now. I figured the silence earlier was because we were around other people. Maybe she didn’t like being open in public.
When we reached her office, she pushed the glass doors open and let out a deep sigh. “Damn,” she muttered, shaking her head. “I haven’t had lunch that big in a long time.” She rubbed her stomach and smiled.
I let out a small laugh. That wasn’t true for me. I ate like that all the time.
She walked around her desk and dropped into her chair, tossing her head back with another sigh.
“Have a seat, please,” she said, motioning toward the chairs across from her.
“Thank you,” I said, picking the one that looked softer and easing into it.
Ophelia leaned forward, resting

    MICHAEL
A knock sounded on my office door, followed by a slight creak as it opened.
I glanced up from the computer screen to see my secretary standing in the doorway.
“What is it?” I asked, already irritated. 
“There’s a Miss Lydia here to see you.” 
I nodded. “Send her in.”
Moments later, Lydia stepped into the room, a scowl tugging at her features. 
“What’s with the face?” I asked, eyeing her as she moved across the room.
“I went to see your sister,” She said flatly.
“Ophelia?”
She shot me an angry look. “Do you have another sister I don’t know about?” With that, she dropped onto the couch, clearly annoyed.
“Is that why you look like you’ve just been slapped?”
She crossed her legs and leaned back, attempting to appear composed. “She was rude,” she said simply. “Exceptionally rude. Ugh, I hate how she makes me feel.” 
I exhaled, dragging a hand over my face. “I can’t say I’m surprised,” I said, my gaze drifting to the window. “She’s on Christian’s team and she must have

    OLIVIAI exhaled shakily, trying to steady my breath. Why the hell was he looking at me like that? Like I was crazy? 
My heart sank. Would he have looked at me this way if I’d been stupid enough to confess my feelings tonight? If I had told him I was jealous of his ex-girlfriend, who he was still hooking up with, by the way?
So, he would have scoffed and told me I was overreacting? That he didn’t understand what I was saying?
I sighed heavily, silently grateful I hadn’t said a word about how I felt.
“Listen,” he began, his voice showing some signs of worry now, “I know you’re still pissed about how I reacted the other day… and like I said, the baby is—”
“I’m not pissed, Christian!” I snapped, my voice rising despite my best efforts to stay calm. “I’m not angry at all.”
“Then what should I call this outburst?” he shot back quietly, and I scoffed.
“You can call it whatever you want, but let me tell you this.” I locked eyes with him, fighting to hold back the tears. “From tonight,

    Olivia’s POV“You need to see my grandfather before you leave.”Nodding, I followed closely behind Christian, completely numb.The nerve he has, putting his hand on my body, after dancing so passionately with that bitch only minutes ago.As we walked over to Mr. Blackwood, his eyes fell on me, and they sparkled.“Olivia,” he called, his tone affectionate, “I hope you enjoyed the ball.”“It was very remarkable, Mr. Blackwood,” I replied, forcing a smile on my face, “and I was glad to be a part of such a phenomenal event.”He nodded, his lips stretching further in a proud smile. “I’m very happy you honored the invitation,” he replied, then slid his gaze to Christian who stood quietly behind me, and back to me. “Are you leaving already?”I nodded, pressing my lips together. “Yes sir. I have a slight tummy ache, so I can’t stay any longer.”“Okay, alright,” he nodded, his brows furrowing in concern. “You have to rest, anyway. Take care of yourself, and if you need anything, let me know.”

    Olivia’s POVI yawned as my eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the light, taking in my surroundings.This room looked unfamiliar…I sat up in a flash, really scanning the room now, my fists clutching the sheets as it dawned on me.Yes… Last night. Christian’s room…The fragments of my memory pieced together, and it all came back to me. My steamy first time.I had eagerly given up my virginity to Christian Blackwood, joining the long list of women who had been intoxicated and enraptured by his looks, and had toppled into his bed.I closed my eyes, a flush creeping up my cheeks as I remembered how I had begged him to take me, groping and yearning for him.“Ugh!” I groaned, hitting my arms and legs against the sheets, kicking them away.What had come over me? How could I have been so easy? Giving myself to him so eagerly? Begging to be devoured like my life depended on it?This was next-level embarrassment.I sighed, my mind drifting back to the previous night. My first time had been bett

    Olivia’s POVI tried to blend in with these sophisticated women in the game room, holding my head high in the same way they did, pretending to check out the exhibits like they were doing.I was very aware of how I carried myself.In the process of pretending, I actually started to really enjoy looking at the exhibits, captivated by the details being displayed on the large screen.Somewhere along the line, I caught Christian’s name in the conversations going on a few feet away from where I stood, and listening carefully, I heard a familiar voice rising from there.Turning my head to the side, I saw Lydia standing there, in the midst of other sophisticated women, lost in whatever conversation they were having.I was tempted to go over there and listen in, and no matter how much I tried to dissuade myself from going, trying to convince myself that whatever it was Lydia was saying was of no concern to me, I still found myself gravitating towards them.I shouldn’t have gone over there…As

The night carried on, and I watched as people waltzed across the dance floor, moving to the music with bright smiles and laughter.
To my surprise, even Mr. Blackwood was dancing, with a woman around his age, no less. A small smile rested on his face as he led her across the floor. So he did things like this? I assumed the Blackwoods were all too serious for fun.
I glanced away and spotted Michael dancing with his wife a little farther away. They didn’t look happy together, moving stiffly to the soft music. 
Meanwhile, Christian and Ophelia were deep in conversation with a group of guests at a table far from ours, caught up in whatever they were discussing. That left just me and Lydia at this table.
She kept staring at me, not even bothering to hide it. I ignored her, but the longer it went on, the more annoyed I felt.
What gave her this sort of confidence to harass me constantly? Was it the fact that she once dated Christian? If you asked me, she was clinging to the past

As the car pulled into the parking lot of Blackwood Hotel, I took in the sight before me, excitement bubbling lightly inside. The building stood tall, decorated beautifully, its windows glowing warmly. 
The engine quieted, and before I could move, Christian stepped out and opened my door. He held out his hand, his expression calm. “Here,” he said softly.
Even though I had promised myself not to let my guard down, I found myself smiling. He had made an effort tonight—the dress, the sweet note. And while my heart still twisted at the thought of his so-called favorite ex, I had agreed to come with him. If not for Christian, then at least for Ophelia. She’d worked too hard on this event, and she would have been disappointed if I hadn’t shown up.
Placing my hand in his, I lifted my dress slightly and stepped out. We walked toward the entrance, my gaze drifting over the decorations. If the exterior looked this enchanting, the interior had to be even more spectacular.
At the doo

I lay on my back in my room, twirling my phone between my fingers, debating whether or not to follow through with the thought that was stuck in my head.
Ever since the car ride with Christian, my mind hadn’t settled. His vague answer about Lydia only made things worse instead of calming me. Who was she to him really? And why wouldn’t he just tell me the truth?
He clearly had no problem sharing my secrets with her—about me, about my brother, while lying in bed with her, no less. So why did he suddenly go vague when the topic was about her?
I tapped my screen, then let it go dark again. I couldn’t decide. My fingers itched to act, while my brain warned me to stop. I even considered throwing the phone across the room and going to sleep.
But curiosity is a dangerous thing, and today, it won.
I pulled up my browser and typed in the name I swore I’d never search: Christian Blackwood and Lydia.
The moment the results loaded, my heart dropped and I forgot all about self-control.

I sighed for what felt like the thousandth time, sitting in the lecture hall. Voices buzzed around me—conversations, laughter, whispers but none of it mattered. I couldn’t bring myself to care about anything they were saying.
The truth was, I didn’t care about much these days. I felt like everything was spiraling beyond my control, like my life had suddenly changed completely. Even the smallest things felt exhausting now, like tasks I’d normally handle without a second thought.
Maybe that’s why I hadn’t gone to see Mr. Sylas yet about the 30% he gave me on my project. He claimed it looked like I used AI, but I just didn’t have the strength to defend myself, not when everything else felt so tiring.
I’d spent all of yesterday in bed, replaying Lydia’s words over and over in my head.
“Is your brother okay?”
“Christian had to shove me out of his bed…”
I scoffed under my breath, biting down on my lower lip. What had I been thinking? That Christian Blackwood, the same man wh

I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection, searching for any signs that my body had changed since I found out I was pregnant.I still looked the same. Deep down, I knew this restlessness was just paranoia. It had only been a few days since I found out. What difference could several hours really make?
Still, the weight in my chest had only grown heavier. The thoughts in my mind, the nervousness, it all seemed to get worse with every passing hour.
A beep from my phone pulled me out of my thoughts. I glanced down at it on the dresser and saw a new email notification. It was an invitation to the Blackwood Annual Event, scheduled for three days from now.
I sighed and picked up the phone, opening the email. The theme caught my eye right away:
“A Night of Masks and Mystery – Gatsby Masquerade Ball.”
A small smile tugged at my lips. I remembered talking to Ophelia about it, wondering how she planned to turn such a big, flashy idea into reality and now, I could see
