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

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?

    ~BEFORE THE FALL~Gustavo turned to the maid, his eyes scanning the house. It was too quiet. "Where is she?" he asked."She's in her room, sir," the maid replied."Then call her. Tell her I need to see her." The maid hesitated. That made Gustavo raise a brow. He was already having a shitty day. Saint had somehow returned to the company despite his failing health. The man was supposed to be dying.And now, someone was tailing him—digging into his life. Gustavo knew that had Simon's name written all over it. To top it off, Gemini was in Paris.He'd just found out from the men he hired to keep an eye on her. Ciara still hadn't delivered the files he asked for, and time was running out.He needed to get his hands on everything tied to Saint Tech before it was too late."Well, go fucking tell her again," Gustavo snapped. The maid flinched, clearly scared. "You know what? Fuck it."He stormed upstairs."Sir—sir, you can't go up there!" the maid called after him, but he brushed her off, h

It was enough that it had spoken at all.That it was her voice.His grip tightened on the glass, and he finally turned his head slightly, just enough to catch the shadow shift near the old staircase.There was nothing there now—only darkness and the soft ticking of the antique clock above the mantle.FLASHBACK : (THE DAY OF MAYA INCIDENT) SAN FRANCISCO: The rain had been relentless that night. Thick fog clung to the hillside roads like breath on cold glass, and the Pacific winds howled in protest as the luxury sedan swerved along the coastal edge.Inside, Maya gripped the steering wheel harder, her heart pounding.

    ~THE SECRET OF RUE DE LILA (2)~Gemini sat in the passenger seat of the car Simon had rented, the ride was quite. The car engine hummed softly beneath us, gliding past narrowed streets lined with old stone building and the golden tint of morning sunlight spilling through the trees.Gemini hand gently rested in her baby bump. She rubbed it absentmindedly in small, slow circle, her thought elsewhere.Vita was with her nanny and Penelope and Benson decided to spend the rest of the day exploring. They knew whatever Gemini came to Paris for she wanted to do it alone.And they respected her decision.Her bump has grew fuller…now, heavier.Simon glance over to her from the driver’s seat, his hand shifting from the wheel to rest over hers. She didn’t flinch, didn’t look away from the window where she stared at the soft, rolling hills beyond the edge of the city.“You’re quiet,” Simon said gently, his voice cutting through the silence like warm butter. “Is it the place?”Gemini turned to him,

    ~THE SECRET OF RUE DE LILA (1)~ The morning had started better than Gemini expected. Simon had prepared a full breakfast feast, and she stood in the elegant dining section of the suite he’d privately booked for them. “What did he say we were having again?” Benson leaned over to whisper in Gemini’s ear. She smiled softly, her gaze drifting over the beautifully arranged table. She always knew Simon could be a bit over the top, but this? This was something out of a movie. Vita tugged gently at Gemini’s hand, pulling her attention to the three-year-old standing beside her with wide, excited eyes. “Daddy’s here,” Vita said happily. That’s right—she had been fast asleep when Simon arrived last night. “Yes, sweetheart,” Gemini replied with a giggle, brushing a curl from Vita’s forehead. “Daddy’s here, and he’s doing the usual Simon Sinclair thing.” “I’m officially jealous,” Penelope chimed in, nudging Gemini’s shoulder playfully, making her laugh. “A romantic breakfast in the city

    ~A CITY OF ART~Gemini didn’t hesitate. The moment Simon uttered those words “You need to get out of there”—she was already packing. She didn’t need an explanation. She trusted Simon. By the time the clean-up crew arrived, she was already handing the keys to them with strict instructions to finish by the morning.Penelope and Benson had watched her with matching expressions of concern. Benson, being Benson, had tried to keep the mood light. “You know, Gem,” he said as they walked into the lobby of the luxurious hotel she had booked at the last minute. “For someone who claims to want a quiet life, your life is pure telenovela material.” Gemini forced a smile as she handed her credit card to the receptionist. “I’d say it’s more of a psychological thriller at this point.” Penelope crossed her arms. “Gem, are you okay? You barely said a word in the cab.” “I’m fine,” Gemini lied, forcing another fake smile.”Benson squinted. “That was the fakest smile I’ve ever seen.” She g

    ~A TRIP TO PARIS~The moment their plane touched down in Paris, Gemini felt a strange mix of excitement and unease settle in her chest. The last time she had been here, she was a child—clutching her mother’s hand as they walked through the streets, listening to her talk about dreams, art, and love.Now, she was returning with a mission.Benson stretched as they stepped into the arrivals terminal, adjusting his oversized sunglasses. “Ah, Paris. The city of love, croissants, and my future sugar daddy.” Penelope rolled her eyes. “We’ve been here for five minutes.” “I like to manifest.” Gemini chuckled but quickly turned serious as she pulled out the letter again, her eyes scanning the familiar handwriting.It had to be her mother’s. And there was only one place that could hold the answers she needed—her mother’s house in Paris.A sleek black car was already waiting for them, arranged by Simon, of course.“Tell me, Gem, how rich are you now?” Benson teased as he slid into the back

    ~A CRUEL CONFESSION~It wouldn’t look good if I didn’t visit Tiara. I had enough on my plate already—keeping an eye on Jerome, who was hell-bent on becoming a problem, and now Simon, who was digging into things that were none of his damn business. Simon needed to be dealt with—soon.As I stepped into the hospital hallway, my sharp gaze swept over the doctors and nurses bustling past me. I exhaled, rolling my shoulders before stopping in front of Tiara’s room. Just as I reached for the door handle, a nurse appeared, blocking my way. “Excuse me, sir,” she said, adjusting the noteboard in her arms. “May I ask who you are?” I turned to her, flashing my most charming smile. The blush that crept up her neck told me it worked. “A close friend of the patient,” I said smoothly. She hesitated, biting her lip. “That’s nice, but I’m afraid she’s not accepting visitors—strict orders from her mother.” Ciara. That insufferable woman. Did she know I’d come?I sighed dramatically, tilti

    ~MORNING DESIRE~Gemini sat quietly in the garden, her gaze locked on the mysterious key resting in her palm. She studied it intently, as if willing it to reveal its secrets. A deep, familiar voice broke her thoughts. “If you stare at it any longer, it might explode,” Simon teased from behind her, his arms wrapped securely around her shoulders. A small smile played on Gemini’s lips as she reached up, gently caressing his hand. She tilted her head slightly, an unspoken invitation. Simon understood immediately, pressing a soft, lingering kiss to her lips before pulling back. “Aren’t you busy today?” she asked, her voice light but curious. Simon smirked and moved to sit beside her. He was supposed to be in the office, but his plans had shifted after receiving a call from Lilac Sheinkaih.She had requested a meeting today—one he wasn’t about to miss. If she had answers that could help Gemini, he would be there in a heartbeat.“Well,” he said, stretching out his legs, “I have an

    SHATTERED BONDSCiara gently took Tiara’s frail hand in hers, her thumb brushing soothing circles over the cold skin. Her daughter had barely spoken since she was admitted, the weight of her loss pressing down on her like a suffocating fog.“Tiara, sweetheart,” Ciara murmured, her voice soft, almost pleading. “Won’t you say something to Mommy?”She reached out, tucking a loose strand of hair behind Tiara’s ear, but the girl didn’t react. She simply sat there—silent, hollow, a ghost of herself.Tiara was wasting away before her eyes, refusing to eat, refusing to acknowledge the world around her. And yet, Ciara couldn’t bring herself to grieve for the baby her daughter had lost.Not when she believed it was for the best.Sighing, she laced her fingers with Tiara’s. “I know this is hard,” she said, her voice carrying that practiced gentleness, the kind that hid the sharp edge of her true thoughts. “But as much as I hate to see you like this, I think… in some ways, it was for the best.”
