Chapter 41 (Twist of Event)(Gemini’s Pov)A week has passed since I visited Uncle Brandon and found out about the key. Uncle Brandon had promised to let me know when he found out more about what my mom had meant.I have been avoiding My father and stepmother since I got back.Grandma had been going in and out of the hospital lately, her health deteriorated so fast, that I had to focus completely on the gallery.Five months heavily pregnant and I felt like My life was already a big pile of secrets.I sat at the dinner table, my eyes glanced at my tab, Sevan holding has been going off the chart on the stock market.Saint Global keeps getting nominated and has limitless investors. Simon was on the cover of Vogue Business Times.I felt like everyone kept achieving something and I hadn't yet. “Why are you so up early” Simon asked walking into the kitchen as he made himself a cup of coffee.“I was hungry,” I told him, rubbing my

Chapter 42 (The News)(Simon’s pov)I stared at Celine then back to Gemini, I could see her clenched fist, her eyes staring at the cup of coffee in front of her.“Gemini, how about we go upstairs and talk” I finally spoke.Gemini's head raised as she stared at me for a minute, “There is nothing to talk about Simon, Celine here pretty much said everything and you not denying it seems true too” Feeling bad and caught up in this situation, I stared at the child, sitting beside her.Gemini stood up, about to leave, I held onto her hand stopping her from moving. “Where are you going” I questioned “I think it best, I stay at my father's place for some time, this house is becoming too stuffy with your lies and secrets” she replied, shaking my hand off as she brushed past me.I followed her behind, hoping she would give me a chance to explain.“You can't leave, this house is for you, instead let me leave please, Gemini,” I plea

(Lies)(Gemini’s Pov)Simon has been speaking for the last 30 minutes since we got to the courthouse, and I ignored him.“Are you fucking serious Gemini, you want a divorce, this stupid marriage was your idea in the first place” he said “Yes Simon it was, and I felt like I was caging you in a marriage you didn’t want, am giving you back your freedom,” I told him avoiding eye contact. Simon slammed the table so hard, that I flinched. “You don’t get the right to determine my happiness, no one does but me, I am not signing any document” “Please don’t make it harder than it seems, let's just end this, It exhausting. You have a child to care for now” Simon walked closer to where I sat, turning the chair to face him, he caged me in between, his eyes holding mine with intensity. “W-What are you doing” I stammered He leaned closer, his face a few inches from mine, I could smell his musky mint cologne which filled my nostrils. I always loved how he sme

(A moment of truth)~Gemini~The clinking of cutlery made my head spin, and I gripped my fork tightly, stabbing at my chicken as if it had personally wronged me.Nanny Laura leaned in close and whispered, "Is everything all right, dear? You don't seem to be enjoying your meal. Should I ask the chef to prepare something else for you?"I turned to her, offering a forced smile. "I'm fine, Nanny, thank you for your concern," I replied, hoping to alleviate her worry.“How's the divorce proceeding?” My father finally interjected from across the dining table."It's still in progress," I replied.“Hurry up, the fundraiser event is in two days. I don't want to be surrounded by rumors about my daughter,” he admonished.I maintained my smile, concealing my anger beneath it.“Uncle Brandon will be in New York next week,” I informed him, waiting for his reaction.“And why is that?” he inquired curiously."I believe you've forgotten, Father, but Mama's memorial mass is approachin

(Who’s the father 1)(Gemini’s POV)The household was still abuzz with the recent conflict between Gustavo and Simon, a heated exchange that had taken place just three days prior."Who does he think he is, storming in and causing a scene?" My stepmother muttered as she paced the kitchen, her apron wrapped snugly around her."Well, Madam, perhaps there was some issue between them," Nanny Laura suggested gently, assisting her in the kitchen tasks.My stepmother halted, shooting nanny Laura a look of disdain before resuming her focus on the vegetables she was chopping. "By siding with him, you only raise suspicions, Nanny. Your hostility towards Gustavo is hardly a secret," she remarked sharply.Nanny Laura glanced at me from the dining hall, and I shifted my attention from my laptop to observe my stepmother's behavior."He should be apprehended, or better yet, locked away. A respectable doctor wouldn't stoop to such levels. I can't fathom allowing him to perform surge

(Who's The Father 2)~Gemini~I saw the fear in Tiara's eyes, as she trembled and tried to conceal her emotions by pulling her hand away from mine."Why don't you go back to your usual self and act like you don't care? You're good at making me feel invisible," she said, her voice filled with rage.Protesting by folding my arms, I carefully studied her face, wondering why she was reacting so strongly as if she had something to hide."Well, I suppose you wouldn't mind if I shared it with everyone here," I remarked, making my way towards the house.Tiara's footsteps hastened behind me as she attempted to stop me, but I paid no attention, entering the house. Suddenly, Tiara grabbed my arm.As my eyes shifted from her face to her hand on my arm, I could tell she truly didn't want this secret to come out, but I remained indifferent."Please, don't," her voice softened.This came as a surprise - the Tiara I knew was always fiery and tried to push my buttons."Why can't

All For Love~Gustavo’s pov~Storming out of the mansion, I headed towards my car with Tiara following closely behind, calling out to me persistently. Ignoring her, I continued on my path, feeling the frustration building inside me.Suddenly, I grabbed her by the arm and pulled her aside, making sure no one saw us. “What are you thinking? Are you insane?” I snapped, glancing around nervously.Tiara defended herself, “I was just trying to cover for you. You should be grateful for what I did.”I couldn't believe her audacity. How could she think I would be happy about her getting pregnant? It was a mistake I never intended to make, and now she was complicating things even further.“How could you get pregnant? I have been with Gemini since she was 18, and she never got pregnant. I barely even see you or have sex with you, and now you pull this stunt,” I angrily berated her.Tiara's eyes filled with hurt and confusion as she questioned, “How is this my mistake?”I

(The Mastermind)~Gemini’s POV ~We sat at the restaurant, Gustavo's eyes moving from me to Celine, who sat there burning in rage but I ignored them both.“Waiter” I called to the waiter, who stood in front of me with a smile spread across his face.He looked like he was sincerely in a good mood, not forcing anything, I beamed him a smile back, as I glanced at the menu.Placing my order, I turned to Celine and Gustavo asking if they were not going to place an order. Gustavo gave me the Are you for the real look, ignoring me as he continued staring at Celine.Celine shifted uncomfortably from her seat, asking the waiter to only get her water.The table was quiet once more but I broke the silence as I turned to face Celine. “You know Celine, I heard a funny tale from Simon, wanna guess what it is” I asked.Celine looked confused as to what game I was trying to play. “Did you deceive me about having the money?” she asked, her tone filled with anger.“Deceive you? Come on, why would I do

Chapter 61To Protect You.Simon kept his eyes fixed on the road as he drove Gemini to his villa. He knew he wasn’t going to let her return to her father’s house—not after that confrontation. The nerve of that man.“Simon,” Gemini called out, but he didn’t respond, his jaw clenched in frustration. Was he angry at her? She hadn’t done anything wrong. “Are you angry with me?” she asked again, her voice tinged with confusion.Silence met her, and Simon continued to ignore her. He didn’t want to engage in an argument, not now, not when his temper was already flaring. “Seriously? You won’t even answer me?” she pressed, annoyance furrowing her brows.Finally, Simon arrived at his villa, parking the car in the garage. He stepped out and unlocked the door, gesturing for Gemini to follow. She hesitated for a moment, unsure, but eventually complied.As he walked ahead, she trailed behind, irritation bubbling inside her. Why had he brought her here instead of taking her back to her father’s hou

Chapter 60JEALOUSY.Gemini made her way toward Gustavo, who had been drinking heavily since the event began. It was obvious that something was bothering him.“Didn’t you drive here?” Gemini’s voice cut through Gustavo’s tension, causing him to focus on her. His green eyes, usually bright and sharp, now appeared dull.“Is that concern I sense in your voice?” he replied, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips as he studied her. When was her due date? Her stomach was so prominent, yet he hated that he still found her incredibly attractive.The dress she had chosen for the evening accentuated her baby bump beautifully; she looked slender and had been keeping in shape. Her golden-blonde hair fell straight and perfectly down her back, and her sea-blue eyes seemed to shimmer more than usual, deepening in color. Her fair skin glowed under the warm lights of the room.Gustavo couldn't shake off the bitterness he felt toward Simon for taking her away from him. This beauty standing before

Chapter 59Wavering Allies.Ciara made her way towards Lilac with deliberate slowness, fully aware that she wasn’t ready to be ensnared in Gustavo's drama. It was high time she found a way to extricate herself from any alliance with him before his chaos swallowed her whole.Her plan to gradually poison Saint was progressing smoothly; everything was falling into place as long as he didn't interfere. She knew without a doubt that Gemini—the insufferable brat—needed to be dealt with soon.“Ehhmm,” she coughed, drawing Lilac's attention from the crowd of people she was engaged with. Lilac turned to face Ciara slowly, her brows arching slightly in curiosity.“Hello, Miss Sheinkaih. My name is Ciara Saint,” she introduced, forcing a smile as she extended her hand for a shake.Lilac hesitated for a moment, causing a flicker of embarrassment to wash over Ciara as her hand lingered in the air. She quickly glanced at Gemini, who shot her a scathing glare.“It’s nice to meet you,” Lilac finall

Chapter 58Old Friends & Foes.Gustavo leaned on the bar counter, twirling his drink in his hand as his eyes lingered on Jerome who had been smiling and making connections since the event ended.Why wasn't he leaving, Gustavo thought as he took a full sip of his drink.“Your friend seems to be enjoying himself,” Simon said as he approached Gustavo, planning to get on his nerves.“What do you mean by my friend Simon?” Gustavo asked in annoyance. Gustavo was very aware that Simon had been doing some digging concerning Sevan's holding.The reason he had invited Celine back to New York was so he could keep Simon and Gemini busy so that he could move on with his plan.Celine was of no use to him anymore, now he has to look for another way to get rid of Simon.“Jerome spine….you know Gustavo I heard interesting news that he was missing” Simon trailed in hoping to get off Gustsvo's skin and make his falter.“Well a missing man won't be here enjoying the night of his life” Gustavo answered ir

Chapter 57The Donation.Gemini couldn’t believe her eyes. Was this some kind of sick joke? The news of Jerome's disappearance had rocked her just months ago, and now, here he was, standing alive and well in front of her. The fundraiser ceremony took on a life of its own as the MC stepped up to deliver his welcome speech, commanding the attention of the attendees with an enthusiastic grin. “Welcome to the 13th edition of our human rights fundraiser! We are thrilled to see so many familiar faces return to this esteemed organization!” he announced, his voice echoing through the crowd. Gemini’s gaze, however, remained locked on Jerome, who was smiling as if he hadn’t a care in the world.“He must be in a good mood for someone who just came back from the dead,” Simon quipped, throwing a glance at Jerome before redirecting his attention to Gustavo beside him.Gustavo’s heart raced as he processed the sight of Jerome. He fought to maintain his composure, though the revelation of Jerome’s

Chapter 56The fundraiser two.Gemini pulled away quickly, stunned by Simon's audacity. Did he forget that they were getting a divorce soon? The last thing she wanted was to complicate things or give him false hope.“What are they doing in public?” one of the guests murmured, causing Gemini to hide her face in her hands.“All this young love makes us feel old,” another guest chimed in, chuckling lightly.Gemini’s attention shifted to her stepmother, who wore a disapproving glare as she processed whatever had just transpired between Gemini and Simon. As for Gustavo, well, she didn’t give a damn about his opinion. To her surprise, she spotted her uncle Brandon at the fundraiser—a rarity, since he usually avoided such events, no matter how much Grandma begged him to attend. She thought he would be home in San Francisco by now, but clearly, something was keeping him in New York.“That was quite the show you put on, you little rascal,” Uncle Brandon teased, a playful glint in his eye. “

(The Fundraiser One)Mrs Ciara grabbed hold of Tiara's arm tightly, staring at her, her mind contemplating how to go about her revelation.“You better keep this mouth of yours shut Tiara” Mrs Ciara threatened as she let go of her daughter's hand. This wasn't what she wanted, She didn't want to get her daughter to see this side of her.“I will Mother, as long as you are supportive of my decision and get your husband under control, we don't want Gemini finding out about your little secret” Tiara threatened with a mischievous smile plastered on her lips.“Tiara” Her mother called out her name, her tone soft with concern.Tiara stood up from where she sat, making her way to the door as she paused halfway, shooting her mother one last side glance. “I trust you will handle everything Mother” she added unlocking the door and stepping out of the room knowing she had achieved what she wanted, all that was left was to get her hands on those documents her mom had just shown her.The day of the

Chapter 54Bitter Truth A silence followed, thick and uncomfortable. The clatter of forks and the soft hum of a distant refrigerator were all that could be heard. Tiara glanced between Gemini and her father, desperately trying not to add to the heat already brewing.Saint’s features hardened again, though perhaps not quite so fiercely as before. “You think I don’t care about you? I’m trying to protect you from making decisions you’ll regret!”“By controlling my choices?” Gemini shook her head, her resolve unwavering. “You don’t get to dictate what I should or shouldn’t regret. I need to feel that freedom for myself, even if it means stumbling along the way.”“Gemini, listen—” Tiara ventured.“No, you listen for once, Tiara!” Gemini cut in, her voice steady. “You have your own life to lead. Don’t let them keep you locked in either. This is about me today, and they need to hear me. If he can’t accept that I’m not going to be the daughter he envisioned, then he needs to figure out how

Chapter 53(Being Merciful)Gemini strode down the hallway to her room, a smile dancing on her lips. She couldn’t believe she’d just shared a normal moment with Tiara—no fighting, no animosity; just a fleeting glimpse of sisterly connection. Yet, the joy was quickly overshadowed by Gustavo’s chilling words echoing in her mind, urging her to terminate the pregnancy. She couldn’t help but caress her stomach, the thought sending a tremor of both fear and defiance through her.As she approached her room, she noticed her stepmother, Mrs. Ciara, approaching her with that familiar stern expression. Gemini took a steadying breath, determined to avoid conflict, but she could feel tension crackling in the air between them.“Your father mentioned you’d be attending the fundraiser,” Mrs. Ciara stated, her tone clipped.“Yes, I will. Is that a problem for you?” Gemini shot back, narrowing her eyes. “You little brat. If you have any ulterior motives for being there, you’d better reconsider,” her
