As Frida paid closer attention, she noticed that Julie was accompanied by a boy, older than Emma, perhaps around 15 or 16. His face was hardened with defiance, his rebellious attitude evident in every inch of him. His glare, full of resentment, and the way his lips curled in a perpetual sneer made Frida think he was a younger version of Roman."Frida, you look fantastic," Julie said with forced politeness as she carried Carina in her arms."Miss Julie..." Frida greeted her stiffly. Emma approached as well, wrapping her arms around her governess, seeking comfort from her.Despite seeing the hurt in Frida’s eyes, Emma didn’t pull back. She was just as stubborn and proud as her mother."Perfect. We were just waiting for you," Roman said, smiling warmly at Julie.To Frida, they looked like a family where she didn’t belong, and the realization stung."I suppose we’ll take one of the SUVs," Julie suggested, holding Carina’s hand as Emma walked beside Roman."No, we’ll be taking two ca

While Roman finished adjusting his suit, Frida was in the shower, desperately trying to slip her wedding ring off by lathering it with soap. No matter how much she tried, she couldn’t remove it without causing pain."Frida, don’t take too long. I’ll be waiting in the lounge with the girls. You’ve got twenty minutes," Roman said after knocking on the door. When he didn’t hear a response, he knocked again. "Understood?""Understood," she replied, rolling her eyes.A beautiful blue dress was waiting for her in the bedroom, handpicked by Roman and worth a small fortune. If only she hadn’t spent five extra minutes in the bathroom, she would’ve caught Julie sneaking into the room with a pair of sharp scissors. Julie slashed the fabric, tearing it apart, knowing that with so many people in the family despising Frida, the suspect list would be long. Once she was done, Julie left proudly, heading straight to the lounge to join Roman and the girls, acting sweet and motherly, just like a dotin

"Look! My parents are here!" Julie exclaimed excitedly, waving her hand to get their attention.Her parents approached with eager smiles. They had always hoped to see Roman as their son-in-law, which would strengthen the bond between the two families. Unfortunately, Julie had made a grave mistake years ago, one that had caused a deep rift and prevented their friendship from blossoming into something more."Roman! It’s great to see you again!" Julie’s father greeted him warmly, offering a wide smile. "My little girl mentioned she’s working for you now.""She’s the governess for my daughters," Roman replied politely although he was clearly uncomfortable."Splendid. And the lucky lady who married you, where is she?" Julie’s father asked, trying hard to conceal his disapproval."I’ll go get her," Roman said, irritated. He couldn’t believe Frida hadn’t had the decency to inform him of what had happened."Roman, I think you should give her some time. If she wanted to come down and be w

Frida couldn't stop her hands from trembling nor could she change the shattered look in her eyes. She dragged her feet, exhausted from so many sleepless nights. She knocked a couple of times on the door to her husband’s office, needing to talk to him urgently. The doctor had made it clear: their daughter, Emma, needed a surgical procedure to save her life.Gary looked up from his papers, surprised to see her. Ever since Emma had fallen ill, their relationship had frozen over. They were just a couple of acquaintances sharing a bed without touching, talking, or even exchanging a single caress. “I spoke to the doctor…” Frida began, earning an annoyed and exasperated look from Gary. “Emma needs to undergo major surgery.” “So what?” Gary asked irritably, glancing at his watch, counting the seconds until she would leave. “The surgery is very expensive, but it will improve Emma’s prognosis…” “Stop. That’s enough. I don’t want to hear anymore,” Gary said, curling his lip and looking a

For Roman Gilbert, the orders were clear. If he wanted to keep the company, he had to get married and have a child. His grandfather, the owner of most of the country’s refineries, had been blunt in his will. He was concerned about his grandson’s happiness, believing that without a family, Roman couldn’t truly be blissful.Roman thought the idea was absurd and illogical. Not only did he love his solitude, but he was also known for being cold and sometimes cruel. He didn’t want to waste his time on a relationship. He suspected that, given his status, any woman who approached him would do so out of self-interest, and he wasn’t willing to bother with false, hypocritical love. But the decree had been issued, the will was valid, and if he didn’t want to lose everything, he had to comply.Furious, he decided to go to the hospital to talk some sense into his grandfather. Since childhood, if there was one thing that defined Roman, it was that he hated being coerced. He didn’t like following o

Frida stood at the edge of that huge bed with silk cotton sheets, clutching her phone between her hands. Her blue dress draped over her frame, and her hair cascaded down her shoulders. She was nervous, every instinct urging her to run, but the deal was too good to pass up, and time was a luxury she didn’t have.Suddenly, her phone rang. She immediately recognized the number and quickly answered, fighting to keep her tears from ruining her makeup.“Mommy?” The sweet voice that brightened her days made her heart ache.“My darling... How are you feeling?” Frida asked, trying to keep her voice steady, not wanting to worry Emma.“I’m fine, but I miss you,” her daughter said, her voice tinged with sadness. It was the first night Frida wouldn’t be by her side at the hospital.“I miss you too, my love. My sweet baby,” she whispered, her heart breaking. The pain was unbearable, almost as though it might explode from her chest.“When is Daddy coming to see me? I miss him too…”Frida’s pai

Outside the room, Roman leaned against the wall, listening to Frida’s quiet sobs. The sound stirred a flicker of pity in him. He wasn’t entirely sure if he would have a docile wife, but he knew one thing for certain—he had a wounded woman by his side. Ignoring his urge to go in and comfort her, he decided to head to his study instead. Losing himself in work would keep him distracted.After a while, the sound of a knock on the door startled Frida. She was already in her silk nightgown, ready to sleep in the bed that still carried Roman’s scent.“Come in...” she called, half expecting it to be him, ready to share the bed. But it wasn’t. Instead, it was that all-too-familiar maid.“Hello!” the maid greeted her with a broad smile as she entered, carrying a tray of food. “I’m Lory, by the way. I thought you’d be hungry, so I brought you something to eat.”“Actually, I’m not hungry at all...” Frida replied.“You really should eat. It’s not good for your health to skip meals.”“I should

“So... you’re requesting an early discharge for the patient, Emma Miller?” the nurse asked, surprised.“Yes. I’m transferring her to another hospital,” Frida replied, feeling a knot tighten in her stomach.During the drive, Roman had been clear. “Emma will be moved to the neurology hospital today. The doctor in charge there is excellent. She’ll know what to do.” Frida was shocked. It wasn’t the first time she had heard of that hospital. She knew it had an excellent reputation and incredibly high cost. Still, it was nothing compared to Roman’s wealth.“I’ve already spoken with the hospital director, Dr. Bennet,” Roman said, approaching Frida. “Dr. Sofia Dunn will take over Emma’s case as soon as we arrive.”“Understood,” Frida replied nervously, feeling more bound to her side of the deal than ever before.They headed straight to Emma’s room. As soon as Frida opened the door and saw her daughter, her face lit up with pure joy, a detail that Roman did not miss.“My darling!” Fri

"You're insane!" Frida exclaimed, horrified."I'm just being cautious," Roman replied, his smug smile unwavering."Is the money I took from you so significant that you feel the need to torture me now?""It wasn't about the money. I can always make more. But that day, you took something else from me."Roman felt as if Frida had ripped his heart out and taken it with her. The money didn’t matter—it was about regaining his sanity, though now, with her before him, he doubted he’d ever truly find it."Remember my words, Roman. You can parade me around as your wife and take my body, but you’ll never have my love.""Are you done?" Roman asked, clearly amused.-Luke arrived to collect the marriage certificate but also to inform Roman of Jake’s condition."It’s complicated… He’s dead," Luke said, expecting Roman to react, but Roman didn’t even lift his gaze from the papers before him."How sad. Still, he broke into my home and attacked my wife. I suppose it's divine justice… Handle i

"What are you doing out of bed?" Roman asked, his tone sharp as he walked toward Frida."I'm tired of that bed," she replied, meeting his gaze. She was still confused, unsure if Roman was a good or bad man. Still, he was taking care of her daughters and giving them the best."It’s not for pleasure. You need to—"Before he could continue lecturing her, Frida reached for Roman’s hands, having noticed his knuckles that were bruised and swollen from hitting Jake. Surprised, Roman watched as she gently kissed his wounds. The touch of her lips burned, but it was a pleasurable sensation."I’m glad this is all he did to you," she whispered, pulling back, regretting the gesture."I'm not just a businessman. I know how to fight when there’s something worth protecting."Frida tried to maintain eye contact, but a sharp pain shot through her ribs, making her gasp and clutch her sides. Roman swiftly picked her up, cradling her as if she were made of fragile glass."Julie, that’s my wife’s sea

Roman had completely lost control, and Jake wasn’t skilled enough to fight back. Frida screamed desperately from the bed, her voice doing nothing to stop the violence. Determined, she forced herself to her feet, moving as slow as a tortoise. She finally reached Roman, placing her trembling hands on his back. He turned toward her violently, and the sight made Frida stumble, but Roman caught her, pulling her close to his chest. His anger began to dissolve as he got lost in her sapphire eyes."Please, stop…" Frida begged, raising her hands to gently touch Roman’s face, hoping to calm him and find a spark of mercy.Roman, still holding onto his grudge, decided the fight was over. He grabbed Jake from the floor and roughly shoved him out of the room, throwing him down the stairs. Watching him lay motionless on the ground, Roman signaled for a few of his men to take Jake to the hospital, and then he called his lawyer, Luke, to handle the aftermath.Frida stayed silent, perched on the edge

"You get points for honesty, but don’t you dare try any arrogant stunts in front of me. I’m not your friend. I’m your boss, and you’re my employee. Don’t forget that," Roman said, his eyes full of distrust. Jake’s record was impeccable, and every achievement checked out, but something about him didn’t sit right with Roman.Jake switched his jacket for an apron and glanced over the menu for the morning. He prepared the dishes with practiced skill and personally delivered the meals to the girls, catching them by surprise as their faces lit up with recognition."Jake!" Emma exclaimed, but Jake quickly covered her mouth, looking around cautiously."Emma, Carina… you can’t let anyone know you know me, okay? You have to keep this a secret," Jake whispered.Both girls nodded, but Emma’s brow furrowed in confusion."Where’s your mother?" Jake asked."In her room. Mommy can’t come out yet. She’s still sick," Carina said sadly."It’s the second room on the left, upstairs," Emma added, sti

Roman waited in his sleek black Bentley, adjusting the cuffs of his shirt. Someone knocked on the window before carefully passing a document through the crack, making sure not to stain it with the blood that was smeared across his clothes. Luke inspected the paper cautiously, relieved to find it free of any crimson marks."Will it hold?" Roman asked."Yes. The signature is legible," Luke replied, handing the document back to his boss. "All we need now is Ms. Frida’s signature, and the adoption of Emma Moore will be complete."With a broad grin, Roman stepped out of the vehicle and entered the warehouse where Gary lay beaten on the floor. Roman took a moment to enjoy the sight of him, broken and defeated."Was it really worth it to resist me? All you had to do was cooperate," Roman sneered."You’re a monster! Frida doesn’t deserve someone like you in her life!" Gary spat, struggling to rise, but the pain kept him down.Roman rolled his eyes, bored, and with a nod, signaled his men

"Where’s Jake? I want to see my daughters!" Frida struggled to tell the difference between truth and lies. Her memories were hazy, and the nurse’s words made her head spin."Miss Frida!" a maid exclaimed as she rushed into the room. "You’re awake!""Lory?""You remember me! How wonderful!" Lory said, helping the nurse guide Frida back to bed. "Your girls are absolute angels. Emma is such a little lady, even at her age, and little Carina? Oh, she’s a mischievous one, but with that angelic face of hers, she’s already giving Mr. Gilbert a hard time.""What’s going on?!" Frida felt like she had been dropped into an alternate reality. "I need to get out of here. I need to see my daughters."She got up, ignoring the pain, and made her way out of the room while the nurse and maid begged her to come back. Gripping the banister with both hands, she slowly descended the stairs, her eyes searching for her daughters frantically."Emma! Carina!" she shouted, her voice strained from the pain i
