(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

"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

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

He pulled her inside, his fingers brushing lightly against her cheek, making her gaze locked onto his. It was evident: she was hopelessly in love with him, and with just a single word, she could be brought to her knees."Now, what information or good news do you have for me?" Gustavo asked, his tone steady, eyes intent on her."Well, it’s not much," she replied, forcing a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. "But it’s something that would please you."

    ~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.”

    ~DINNER & SEX~The sun had just dipped below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow across the sky as Simon pulled into the driveway of their cozy home. Gemini, her hand resting gently on her burgeoning baby bump, smiled softly at him. She had been tired lately, her body changing in ways she was still getting used to, but Simon’s quiet attentiveness had been her anchor. Tonight, though, there was something different in his eyes—a spark of excitement she hadn’t seen in weeks. “You are going to love the surprise I have for you,” he said, his voice low and teasing as he helped her out of the car. Her curiosity piqued, but she didn’t press him. Simon had always been the romantic one, the planner, the dreamer. She trusted him to make tonight special.Inside, the house was bathed in the soft, flickering light of candles. Dozens of them, scattered across the living room and dining area, their flames dancing like tiny stars. The air smelled of lavender and vanilla, a scent she associat

    ~THE BOX OF SECRETS~Gemini stared at the long list of preparations for the upcoming exhibition. It had been an exhausting week—work had become her only escape, keeping her mind occupied and away from the tangled mess of her family’s betrayals. Every lead had hit a dead end.But she wasn’t giving up. Her mother’s letters were still evidence—proof that something had been left for her, something hidden beneath the layers of deception. She sighed, resting a hand on her stomach. Her phone chimed. A text from Simon.A small smile tugged at her lips. He had mentioned a surprise for her tonight. What could it be?The thought warmed her, pushing aside the storm of stress she carried daily. She was just about to sign the last document for the day and head home when Tracy stepped into her office.“I think I’m done for the day, Tracy,” Gemini said, stretching her fingers and flashing her assistant a tired smile. Tracy hesitated. “You have a delivery, ma’am.” Gemini frowned, glancin

    ~A DARK STORM OF TRUTH~Brandon arrived at Saint Mansion not long after his call with Lilac. Stepping into the driveway, he paused, his eyes locked on the grand estate that once belonged to his sister. Memories flooded his mind. He could almost see Maya standing at the door, waiting to see him off whenever he visited. Her laughter, her warmth—everything about her still lingered in the very walls of this house. But now, there was only silence. The rain poured steadily, tapping against the sleek black car as Brandon finally stepped out. His jaw tightened as he made his way to the entrance, his footsteps heavy with purpose. A maid hurried forward to greet him. He barely spared her a glance as he scanned the dimly lit foyer. Something felt… off. The house was too quiet. Brandon turned to the maid, his voice sharp. “Where’s Nanny Laura?” The older woman hesitated. She fidgeted with the hem of her apron, avoiding his gaze. Brandon’s patience was already thin. “I asked yo

    ~A GROWING THREAT~Simon stepped out of the hospital’s grand entrance, the weight of the day pressing against his shoulders. His name was etched in bold letters across the sleek glass facade—Sinclair Medical Center—a reminder of the empire he’d built. But right now, none of it mattered. He loosened his tie slightly, exhaling as he made his way to his car. Sliding into the driver’s seat, he started the engine and pulled out of the lot, navigating the busy streets with ease. A few blocks later, he spotted a small roadside flower stand tucked between a café and a bookstore. A hint of memories tugged at him—Gemini loved fresh flowers. She once told him that nothing brightened a room quite like them. Smiling to himself, he parked and stepped out, his sharp suit standing in contrast to the casual bustle of the street. “Good evening, sir,” the elderly florist greeted warmly. “What can I get for you?” “Something elegant,” Simon said, scanning the vibrant display. His eyes landed o

    ~ENDGAME~Lilac sat in her car, her eyes fixed on Saint Mansion before they drifted back to the steering wheel. Maya had been in love with this monster. How could he want to take everything from his daughter? Lilac thought, shaking her head. She knew she’d played her part well in there, making them believe she wanted the same thing. But now, she needed to inform Brandon. Gemini might be in danger. And so were the galleries. Starting the engine, she drove out of the compound, her thoughts heavy as she headed back to her office. On the way, her mind replayed the last conversation she'd had with Maya. Maya had been terrified that Saint would hurt Gemini. But Gemini was okay. Married to a great guy—someone who loved her and protected her fiercely. And soon, she would become a mother. Lilac pulled into her office driveway. The two-story building loomed quietly in front of her. She’d opened a small office here in Manhattan, knowing she would be staying for a while before eve

    ~AN END TO IT ALL~Gustavo stared at Lilac Sheinkaih as she stepped out of Saint's mansion. A slow, satisfied smile curled his lips. He knew exactly how desperate Saint was to get his hands on Gemini's inheritance.The old man was grasping at whatever power he had left. And if Saint managed to take control of those galleries, everything would eventually fall right into Gustavo’s hands—once he took over Saint Technologies.He glanced back at Tiara, who sat behind him, her hands twisted in her lap. She was nervous, chewing her bottom lip as if it might save her from the storm she was willingly stepping into.“What were you saying again?” Gustavo asked casually as if they hadn’t just been discussing something life-altering. His tone was cold, disinterested.Tiara took a shaky breath. She had promised herself she would move on, that she wouldn't keep chasing him for something he couldn't give her. But she still needed to tell him. He deserved to know her final decision.“I’m keeping the

    ~TAKING THE BAIT~Saint picked up his glass of whisky, taking a slow sip, his cold eyes fixed on Lilac as she sat across from him. He had called her here, requesting a meeting under the guise of business. If possible, he hoped to strike a deal—after all, she was the biggest art collector in town. And he needed her.“I didn’t expect this meeting, Mr. Saint,” Lilac said smoothly, her polite smile betraying none of the wariness she felt inside. She was surprised, to say the least, when the mighty George Saint himself had requested to see her.And now here she was, sitting face-to-face with the man who had once been Maya’s husband.“There’s a first time for everything, isn’t there?” he replied, matching her politeness with a thin, practiced smile of his own. He set his glass of whiskey down carefully on the polished table between them. “Business has a way of bringing people together.”“I see,” Lilac murmured, dragging the words out, clearly unconvinced. But she was here now, and curio
