“Cheers to life.” The Blackwood family toasted happily as the news of Sebastian arrest became the headline of every broadcasting station the morning following his arrest.

“I feel so happy.” Julian beamed as he sipped the wine, having been the one who tipped the police about Sebastian ‘secret.’

“We all do, baby.” Evelyn agreed with a smirk. She was the mastermind in the whole ploy after all, her hate for Kaira being a strong motivation to bring them down.

“Just happy our plan worked out well.” Mathias said with wide smile plastered on his face.

“Now it’s payback time.” Mathias added his smile turning cruel.

A week ago

“There’s got to be some dirt on him. He can’t be a complete saint!” Julian screamed in frustration, running his hand on his hair.

He had been looking for Sebastian’s secret that could ruin his reputation but nothing seemed to be going his way.

“Calm down, baby. I heard from my sources that Sebastian and his uncle aren’t on good terms because his uncle want the Ashford

    It had been two days since Sebastian was arrested, and the Ashford Company was struggling to handle the bad news. Older Mr. Ashford told the public that the family had nothing to do with the murder and promised that the ongoing investigation would soon provide answers to everyone’s questions.The chaos worked in the Blackwoods’ favor. People seemed to forget about their involvement in the earlier events and started feeling sorry for them. Mathias made the situation even more dramatic by pretending to cry in front of others.Kaira, however, was restless. She kept pacing, trying to figure out how to stop the investigation, but doubts had started to creep in. Everything pointed to Sebastian being responsible for her grandmother’s death. But she clearly remembered her father telling her the doctor had said her grandmother had died of a heart attack. Her memory wasn’t as clear as she wanted it to be, and it made her question everything. Did he lie to me? Kaira wondered. She decided she w

    "Good morning, Aunt Layla," Kaira greeted as she stepped out of her room and into the kitchen, where Layla was busy making breakfast."Morning, honey. Did you sleep well?" Layla asked, glancing up briefly as she flipped a pancake."Yeah, I did," Kaira lied, forcing a smile. The truth was far different—she’d been feeling nauseous and had been throwing up since she woke.Layla frowned, studying her niece. "You don’t look like it, Kaira.""I’m fine, Aunt Layla," Kaira insisted, brushing off the concern and stepping closer to help with the pancakes."No. You need rest, Kaira. I’ve got this," Layla said, gently but firmly steering her out of the kitchen."But—""No buts, Kaira. You need to visit the hospital," Layla said, guiding her to the couch and making her sit down."There’s no need for that, Aunt Layla. I must’ve eaten something bad—that’s why I’ve been throwing up," Kaira admitted, rubbing her temples as she spoke.Layla paused, her eyes narrowing. "Wait, did you say you’ve been thr

    “Congratulations, ma’am. You’re two months pregnant,” Dr. Grace said with a warm smile, confirming what Aunt Layla had suspected.“Two months?” Kaira repeated, her eyes wide with disbelief. How could she have been so oblivious to the changes in her own body?“Yes, Mrs. Ashford,” Dr. Grace replied, still beaming.Kaira sat back in the chair, clutching the test results as a swirl of emotions washed over her—fear, joy, uncertainty. She wondered how Sebastian would react to the news, given everything that had been happening lately.Would he even want to raise a child with her? The thought lingered as she left the hospital.Her mind quickly returned to the puzzle she had been trying to solve about her grandmother’s death. Every clue led back to Sebastian. The police had shown her footage of one of his cars driving through her grandmother’s neighborhood. Minutes after it passed, the ambulance that carried her grandmother’s body appeared. The car had a visible dent on its front bumper, raisi

    “How did he get out of this?!” Mathias shouted, slamming the remote onto the floor. The news of Sebastian’s release from police custody played on the screen, fueling his anger. “They closed the case due to lack of evidence,” Julian said, sitting across from his father. His irritation was clear as he stared at the TV. “I told you to do whatever it takes to make sure he ended up in prison!” Mathias snapped, as if blaming Julian for Sebastian’s freedom. “I did everything I could, Father,” Julian replied firmly. “But the Ashfords are powerful. They’ll do anything to protect him.” Mathias gritted his teeth, inhaling sharply. “So, that’s it? He just gets away with it?” His voice was bitter, but his real concern wasn’t justice—it was his vendetta against Sebastian and Kaira. “It looks that way,” Julian said with a smirk. “But don’t worry. He’ll be too busy dealing with the fallout to come after us.” “Good. That’s exactly what we need,” Mathias said, his tone sharpening. “Make sur

    “You shouldn’t have seen that, princess,” Sebastian said in a low, measured tone, his eyes fixed on the photo.Kaira let out a bitter chuckle. “Then you should’ve done a better job hiding it,” she snapped, her annoyance clear.“Why do you even have this photo, Sebastian?” she asked cautiously, holding it up for him to see.Without hesitation, Sebastian snatched the photo from her hands. “It’s nothing of importance, princess,” he replied coldly, tearing the picture in half as if destroying it could erase the fact she’d seen it.Kaira’s voice rose sharply, laced with fury. “Not important? It’s important to me when I’m the one in the photo!” She stood abruptly, her glare piercing.Her tone turned ice-cold. “Tell me the truth, Sebastian. Did you make that fake photo to smear my name? To ruin my relationship with Julian?”Sebastian reached for her, but she yanked her hand away, her eyes blazing. “Don’t touch me! Answer me, Sebastian. Did you do it?”“Ruin your relationship?” Sebastian repe

    Kaira had been avoiding Sebastian for days, retreating to the guest room and going out whenever possible. She spent her days with Nora, carefully timing her returns home to ensure the house was dark and quiet. She couldn't bear to face him—not yet.Did they question her behavior? Of course, they did. But she lied, as expected. She couldn't admit that she was avoiding her own husband.That night, the house was pitch dark when she crept inside, silently making her way to the guest room like a thief. She was just about to open the door when a voice stopped her cold."You can't keep pretending I don't exist, princess."Kaira spun around, startled as Sebastian flicked on the light behind her. Her heart leapt into her throat."You scared me," she whispered, clutching her chest."Maybe if you'd walked in like the owner of this house instead of sneaking around, you wouldn't be scared," he retorted, his tone calm but edged with frustration.Kaira said nothing, standing frozen as Sebastian step

    "Promise me, no more lies," Kaira whispered, her arm gently wrapped around Sebastian's neck."I promise, princess," he replied calmly, his hand tightening possessively around her waist. He was already dressed for work.Kaira hesitated, a shadow of doubt crossing her face. "Is there anything else you're hiding from me?" Her voice wavered slightly, driven by the nagging unease that had settled deep within her.Sebastian smiled, but the curve of his lips seemed too perfect, too practiced. "What more could I possibly hide from you, princess?" he asked lightly, bending down to press a fleeting kiss on her lips."I’ve got nothing to hide from you, okay?" he assured her, his tone soft but steady.Kaira nodded with a small smile as she watched him leave. The door clicked shut behind him, but her unease lingered. For the first time, Sebastian's reassurances didn’t soothe her. The nerves behind his smile, faint but unmistakable, had betrayed him.She didn’t want to let one mistake he made overs

    Kaira walked to the gate hesitantly, hearing the screeching of wheels. It was only Nora who knew her whereabouts and she wasn’t coming today because she had slept over. She pulled the gate opening, poking her head out slightly. Her heart raced when she saw Sebastian standing by his car with a wide grin.“Hello princess.” He said softly, his eyes lighting up. Her heart fluttered at the pet name she had missed listening to for over a month.Kaira opened the gates widely, staring at him with different emotions. She was happy to see him, it felt like years she had seen him and she couldn’t help but feel guilty over the bags which seemed to be under his eyes. “Aren’t you going to invite me in, princess?” He asked, walking towards her. “Sebastian.” She managed to say her voice cracking as she wrapped her arms around him, her swollen belly poking him slightly.“I missed you, princess.” He mumbled against her neck, stroking her hair. She opened her mouth to respond but nothing seemed to c

    "Thank you." Nora smiled at the saleslady as she took back her card. She had stopped by the closest stores near Kaira’s place to pick up a few things."Do come again!" The saleslady beamed. Nora gave her a nod before turning to leave—only to bump into someone."Are you okay?" A man’s voice rang out in concern as she bent down to gather her fallen groceries."Yeah, I’m—“ She stopped mid-sentence, eyes locking onto the man in front of her. Cole. His initial look of worry quickly switched into a scowl the moment he recognized her."Miss Gray." He greeted her with a fake smile, eyes full of disdain. Even knowing it wasn’t real, her heart still fluttered."Cole." She responded evenly, meeting his gaze."Fancy running into you here. I don’t believe you live around this area." His voice carried a hint of sarcasm as his eyes flicked to the groceries in her arms."I don’t," she replied curtly, slightly taken aback by his sudden interest. He usually avoided her like she was the plague."Must be

    Sebastian sighed, glancing at his watch for what felt like the hundredth time. His patience was wearing thin as he waited at the restaurant for Nora and Elijah.Just as he was about to get up and leave, they rushed in, both breathless, as if they had just sprinted the whole way."Nice of you both to finally show up," he remarked, his voice laced with irritation as they struggled to catch their breath."The traffic was insane," Nora explained, her voice raspy."We ran here because we know how much you hate waiting," Elijah added, sinking into the empty chair. Nora followed suit.Sebastian’s irritation eased as curiosity took over. "Why were you both late in the first place?""I stopped by Grandfather’s before coming here, and we used his car," Nora replied.Sebastian nodded—until realization hit him. His eyes widened. "Wait… where the hell is the car if you both ran here?""Still stuck in traffic," Nora said with a grin.Sebastian shook his head in amusement. "You two are absolutely cr

    “Julian!” Evelyn screamed her lungs out as she stormed inside his room. He raised his eyes from his phone, glancing at her face filled with rage. “What do you want now, Evelyn?” He hissed in angrily. “How dare you?” She asked, stepping closer to him, lounging on the bed lazily. “How dare I do what?” He snapped, irritated by the annoying suspense. “I gave an order in the company as the new CEO for everyone to gather for a brief meeting today and you convinced them otherwise?” She asked rhetorically, her hands fisting on her hair in outrage. Julian paused, searching his memory for her accusation. “I simply told my team that we were having a meeting.” He said dismissively.She laughed bitterly, “Who do you think you are to challenge my orders, Julian?” She spat out, her eyes red from anger.“Your husband.” He retorted bitterly, the words repulsing him. “My husband?” She repeated with dark glint, “You’re nothing but a piece of trash, Julian.” His jaw tightened in anger, springing u

    Sebastian sat on his office desk, his eyes glued to the paperwork on his desk. It was infuriating how little he had to do today. He wanted to bury himself with work, the need to escape the reality of returning back to an empty house each day. “Come in.” He commanded, hearing a knock on his door. His eyes flicked to Clara stepping into the office.“You have a visitor, sir.” She informed in a professional manner. “A visitor?” He echoed, wondering how it could be now. Nora just left his office a while ago so it couldn’t be her again.“Yes, the other Mr Ashford.” She clarified, referring to Elijah. Sebastian sighed in frustration, clenching the pen in his hand. Elijah was the reason Kaira wasn’t here now and he had the guts to show his face to him? “Let him in.” He commanded regardless, the curiosity of what had dragged him all the way to his office when he was still in suspension consuming him.“Yes, Sir.” She responded curtly, turning on her heels. Soon Elijah entered the office with

    Sebastian stared at the picture of Kaira on his phone with a smile on his lips. It had only been days, since she left but he already felt as though he was loosing his mind. He hit the gym more often, burying himself with work each time just to stop the urge of reaching out to her. “Are you okay?” Nora asked loudly pulling him out of his trance. He glanced up at her and offered a small smile. “Sebastian.” She called out as though saying he could talk to her. She knew exactly what the problem was but she already made a promise to Kaira, though she was sure he knew her where about. “I’m fine, Nora.” Sebastian reassured sternly, dropping his phone down on the couch. It had now become a habit, always spacing out in the middle of a conversation. “We should go out on a date, tomorrow.” Nora offered with a smile, twirling the glass of wine in her hand. She made it a routine to visit him often either in his office or at home just like she did with Kaira. “Get a man to go on a date with.

    Kaira left the next morning just as agreed, with the condition of returning when she felt sane. She traveled way out of the cities of New York where she believed Sebastian wouldn’t find her easily but she knew deep down he find her if he wished to. “Are you sure you want to do this?” Nora asked as she drove her out of town. Nora was the only person she could trust because just like her, she was equally kept in the dark about everything.“For the hundredth time, Yes, Nora.” She responded with a roll of eyes.“I know Sebastian was wrong but—“Enough about Sebastian, please. I never said I was getting a divorce now did I?” Kaira asked with a flicker of irritation in her eyes as she cut her off.“No you didn’t. But girls say something and do something else. I’m not saying this because his my cousin but I just don’t want the child to grow without a father.” She admitted in concern. Kaira sighed, “Even if I were to get a divorce, I’m sure my child would never grow without a father’s love.

    “So tell me the lies you have to feed me now.” Kaira said sarcastically staring at them. They both shared a look between themselves almost as though asking who would speak. “Stop the hesitation and just talk okay?!” She snapped in frustration. “Kaira.” Sebastian whispered in warning as he walked over and sat close to her. She glared at him but didn’t protest.“First I would like to apologize for keeping the truth away from you.” Older Mr Ashford said in sincerity that almost touched her heart. Keywords, Almost.“You apology won’t bring back the dead would it?” She asked in mockery. “I understand how you feel but please understand that it was an accident.” He responded and she chuckled bitterly.“An accident you say? Your grandson happened to accidentally kill two of my family? Such a coincidence, don’t you think?” She asked in rage, sarcasm evident in voice.“Actually, Sebastian didn’t—“ Aunt Layla said but she cut her off. “Save it. Just say whatever you have to say and leave!” S

    It had been a week since Kaira last stepped foot outside of the building, turning to Sebastian’s captive. The few times she had attempted leaving the house had proved futile, having being told that Sebastian had ordered that she doesn’t step foot out of the building. Keeping her against her wish was suffocating her enough when all she wanted to do was to get away from him as far as possible. He caged her in their room, making sure she doesn’t move to the guest room and when she did? It was useless after all. He would still pull her back to their bedroom and act as though everything was fine between them both when it was far from that.Kaira sighed in frustration , rubbing on her flat stomach, her stare hardened on the door as she heard the sound of Sebastian’s car driving in. “Hello, princess.” He beamed as he walked in with a wide smile on her face. She didn’t as much as react to him, rising abruptly from the sofa. “Kaira please…”He whispered, running his hand through his car in f
