Chapter 55Ryan's POV.I was discussing things with Kian, but not until I got a call from the nanny. She was panicking over the phone.The last time I got a call like this, It was about the fact that something bad happened to my daughter because of her allergy."What is the problem? Why are you not saying anything?" I questioned the nanny, who was still trying to say something."It's Diana and Harper. Diana might not get to survive." She said this over the phone, making me drop my smiling face immediately.Tears gathered in my eyes even without fully understanding what was going on."What did you say? What are you talking about?" I asked calmly."Diana fell from the stairs." She said it amidst tears."Which hospital are you in right now? Where the hell are you?" I said it calmly."What is the issue?" Kian, who was at my front, questioned me, making me sigh.There was no way that could get to happening to her! I spoke with her a few moments ago, and she sounded really happy on the phon
Chapter 56Ryan's POV I walked out of the ward, leaving her to finish up her problems. I took the elevator to where Diana was.I encountered Kian along the way. "Where have you been? Diana woke up already, and she hasn't been acting in her right sense!" Kian informed me immediately that he saw me.I shoved the tablet that was in my hand at him while I entered her room. The doctor was trying to calm her down, but it wasn't working.I stood at the door entrance, while I watched what was happening. What could I even get to do to calm her down in this kind of situation?"My baby! They are not dead! Why can't I feel them?" Three nurses were there while they tried to pin her down.Her eyes met mine."What about our child? Why can't I feel them? Where did they go?" She looked at me as her eyes were filled with tears, making me want to cry."I'm sorry I couldn't get to protect them." I muttered while I found myself crying again. I used my hand to clean off my tears immediately.I tried to c
Chapter 57Richardson's POVI walked along the hallway with the flask filled with hot water, which Harper was going to use. It has been two days since I got to discover that the child she was carrying was mine. I thought it belonged to Ryan.I remembered us going out on a particular night and having to get drunk. I didn't remember what happened after then! Was that the day that I got her pregnant? I ruffled my hair as I twisted the door knob, which led to the room.The female police officer was in the room with her. She was being guarded every 24 hours."Please, I would love to speak with her. Can you get to excuse us for a second?" I requested it from the police officer who was in the room."Just thirty minutes." She stated this before she walked out of the room."You should have a plan to get me out of here." Harper said as she stared at the handcuffs that were in her hand."Why do you think that I am going to help you? The court isn't going to punish you until you give birth. The
Chapter 58Diana's POV.I walked around the house while I made dinner that evening. I just came back from the hospital, and I just felt like cooking that evening."Why are you making dinner?" I heard Ryan's voice interrupting my thoughts as I arranged the food on the plate."What is the issue? Why can't I make dinner?" I questioned him. He looked at me in a weird way.How many times do I have to tell him I am okay?"Are you really okay?" My subconscious questioned me."Yes, I am okay. My child died, and that was all. She is gone, and I should accept it that way." Those were the words I kept on telling myself whenever I started thinking of my child.Those words have been comforting me so far."Ohhh! That's goodddd..." He dragged on the word as he still looked at me like there was something wrong with me."You should get to sit down, and I will come and deliver the food to you." I assured him while he walked away, leaving me in the kitchen."You shouldn't feel bad." I took a huge sigh a
Chapter 59Ryan's POV.This was the only way I could think of keeping Sophia safe for now. Once she is back to her senses, she will know what to do. "Dad! When are we going back home? What about mom?" Sophia, who was in the back seat, was questioned."Mom is fine. We need to give her space to think things out." I replied, Sophia."Now let's forget and have fun!" I smiled at her as I watched her reaction through the mirror.She doesn't seem happy about what I said, but I hoped she understood me.I called Elena on my journey to my other house. "Hi! How are you doing? How is Diana doing?" She questioned me as I let out a huge sigh."I left the house." I informed her as she gasped so hard. "You left the house? Why would you do that? You know this is the best time that she needs you." "I don't even think she wants me in that house anymore. She's acting so differently, and it's really hard." I explained it to Elena."So you want me to watch over her?" She questioned me."Consider it don
Chapter 60Harper's POV.I was being transferred to the van by the police officer. I think Richardson said he was going to help me escape. I haven't even seen him in the past three days. Was this the way he would get to leave me alone? I heard about what happened to his company, and I also heard that he might go into bankruptcy, but that doesn't mean that he would forget about me completely.That can't be possible.I was taken into the car as I sat down in my comfortable seat. I was happy that the news about me being an attempted suicide didn't make it to the Internet. I guess it was Ryan who made it that way.I wondered why he didn't want it to be in the social media. "You should handle her gently; she is pregnant." One of the female police officer told the police officer who tried to push me into the car."Okay!" The other police replied."No wonder she is feeling remorse. She committed a crime, knowing fully well that the court would get to pity her even if she was guilty of the
Chapter 61Ryan's POV I rushed back to my house."Dad! Why are we going back home? Why are you in a hurry?" My daughter, who was beside me, questioned."I don't know. All I know is that we would have to hurry up home." I informed Sophia as my leg pressed the accelerator increasing the speed of the car.I reached home in no time while I entered the house. The package wasn't at the door entrance anymore. That means she must have picked it up already.I hurriedly entered the house and then saw Elena, who was lurking around."You are back! That was so fast." Elena uttered it immediately when she saw me."What about Diana? Where did she go?" I questioned her in panic."She's fine. She went to her room just now with a package in her hands." Fuck!"Watch over Sophia." I instructed her as I ran up the stairs back to her room.Diana sat on the bed, comfortable, while she kept checking all that I had ordered. There was no sign of remorse in her eyes.I didn't know if things just got worse or b
Chapter 62*Few Days Later*Elena's POV.Kian was taking me to see his parents already, she the date when the wedding would be happening would be picked by them.We were going to having lunch and I was very nervous since I have never done this before.I wore the best outfit that I could find my in wardrobe.I chose a classic, elegant outfit to make a good impression.

It's not like I would end up with a Kian forever. We signed this marriage just to last for a year.Around my neck, I wore a delicate silver chain with a small, elegant pendant - a gift from my Kian. My ears were adorned with simple, understated s
