"I am truly sorry but she went into a seizure and we did all we could," she said, looking heartbroken at Adrian.'Ashley passed away a few minutes ago," she said, saying those words he had been dreading to hear."No! No!" Adrian screamed, the pain ripping through his chest.Adrian opens his eyes, panting for breath, as he sits up.It was just a bad dream, he told himself. It all felt so real for him.He can't let it happen to her.He looked at the clock on his bedside and saw it was only five in the morning. After that dream, he knew he wouldn't go back to sleep.He jumped out of bed and got dressed as quickly as he could before brushing his teeth.

He wanted to see his wife and if anyone tries to stop him, he will make their lives hell.The entrance door slid open
The billionaires heirs Third-person POV… Adrian received a call from the company saying he must come in immediately. He asked Harry to take care of it but since it was a legal dispute, he was needed along with his lawyers. He couldn't read the document in front of him. His mind keeps drifting back to Ashley and what she asked this morning. He knew he had to try. He must give her some peace before her time runs out. He wanted to dial the hospital and ask for permission but he was afraid of what they would tell him if they answered the phone. He needs to talk to them face-to-face that is the only way. He tried to busy himself with his work but he couldn't. He was thinking about his children. They told them that their mother got cancer the day he went to the hospital in the morning hours. Ashley wanted them to know since they kept asking when she was going home. Both the kids took the news hard. He could tell they miss their mother even though they see her every day but he guesses it
They all had a picnic under the huge tree that Ashley once loved so much. They were laughing and watching the children play. Ashley could feel a lump in her throat as she watched over her loved ones. The only thing she ever wanted was for her children to be happy and looking at them playing with their father, she knew they would be alright.Later that night, Adrian told them that it was time for Ashley to take a rest and that they could all come back tomorrow. He watched her fight to stay strong and spend more time with her loved ones but he knew she needed to rest. He might sound selfish but he doesn't want to lose her now."Dance with me," Ashley asked as soon as they reached their room."Babe, you need to rest. Today was a long one for you," Adrian tries to pursue her."I know but I want to dance one last dance with you. The one we danced on the first night we made love." Adrian finally gave in and nodded, walking to the stereo and starting to play their song.Tonight, I celebrate

𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄...I have set my alarm clock to go off at 5 a.m. today since I have an important interview, one I had almost forgotten about. As soon as it went off again, I groaned and slammed it out of frustration. I need this job in order to pay my rent and the bills. I got up, walked to my closet a
Third-Person POV...As Adrian entered his house, the silence surprised him. He walked towards the kitchen but found no one there. Just as he was about to turn around, he noticed foam coming from the laundry room. He had a frown on his face as he walked towards the room and as soon as he opened the d
On our way home, we stopped at a shop brimming with vibrant candies, chocolate bars, and treats in various shapes and sizes. Chloe's eyes widened in delight; candy was undoubtedly her weakness. She peered through the glass, contemplating her choices. Bruce stood beside me, arms crossed, both of us o
Ace…My feet were resting on the desk shared by Bella and me, our office now organized and neat, though I knew it wouldn’t last long. I had spent the early hours sorting through paperwork and issuing directives. As I brought a cigarette to my lips, I inhaled the acrid smoke, watching it swirl and gr

Whenever she threw a fit, it was incredibly amusing. Ace, however, did not share my amusement; he seemed to
Richard shook his head disapprovingly at Ryder, clearly unhappy with how easily he succumbed to Chloe's antics. As for me, I didn’t mind at all. Ryder was her uncle, and he could spoil her if he wished. The food arrived, and I took a sip of my wine. Laughter filled the air as everyone enjoyed themse
Bella…I urged the maids to hurry up with the dining room as we were busy setting it up. Only the finest cutlery and crystal glasses were to be utilized. The table was to be adorned with white tablecloths and red placemats. I moved gracefully around the room in a black dress that accentuated my figu
“You have created a family, my love.” I returned her smile, gently rubbing her shoulder as I looked down at the way she cradled her so effortlessly. She traced a finger through her dark hair. "She’s going to look like you," she said with a soft chuckle. "What have you decided?" I asked, feeling a se
The atmosphere was intense. "It's okay, Bella. I'm right here with you." I gave a reassuring smile while holding her hand. The fear coursed through me. Her contractions came in waves, accompanied by a mix of screams and whimpers. I could see the exhaustion etched on her face, but I believed in her s
She sat down on the lounger, gazing straight ahead, the sun's glare making it difficult to look up. I approached her and settled down beside her on the spacious lounger, using my arm to support her head, creating a makeshift pillow. "Ashton called me a whale the other day," she scoffed. "What a jerk
Ace… I secured my firearm back onto my belt after taking a man's life. He had it coming; he was undermining me and it was intolerable. "Clean it up," I commanded with a snap of my fingers. My team sprang into action, quickly removed the blood, the body, and any trace of what had happened here. As
