'She won't come.'

'She has no reason to see you again...'

'You lied to her...'

Ashton's fingers shook as he finished typing the text message. He was a bit reluctant to hit the send button, not thinking he could handle the disappointment of being rejected at the moment.

He liked to think that he was open-minded about the matter. If Emelia indeed chose not to see him again, or even asked him to stay away from her, Ashton liked to think he’d comply with her wishes without a mental breakdown. But that was all his wishful thinking. The truth of the matter was, at this point, he didn't think he could live without her. He loved her to his core and was willing to do whatever it took to have her by his side.

But she had refused to even look at him in the hospital. And how could he blame her for that? He was the one who had endangered her life in the first place; he had lied to her about his identity. The most sensible thing would be to stay away from him.

It had taken him days without seeing h

    "Are you sure you don't need anything?""No, I'm fine." Emelia placed her hand on her stomach. She was already nine months along. Since she refused to stay in the hospital until delivery, Winter had gotten her a nurse to look after her at home.At first, she had been annoyed at the close monitoring. Everything she did was being closely watched—the food she ate, the drinks she had, the clothes she wore, even the number of steps she took. These days, she couldn't even walk down the stairs without multiple people watching her closely. It wasn't just the nurse; even the house help was part of it.Emelia always rolled her eyes at the anxiety of those around her. It was just a pregnancy, and she would give birth any day now, so she didn’t think there was anything to worry about.These days, she didn’t do much. She had been home for months, barely going anywhere. Winter had reluctantly gone back to the office after the first few months, though he always came back from time to time to check o

    Winter arrived at the hospital not long after. A nurse directed him to the VIP Ward, where Emelia was stationed. "How is she?" he asked the nurse waiting outside the room.Though she was Emelia's personal caretaker, the hospital had rules against non-family members staying in the labor room. "I'm not sure, but based on how much pain she's in, it won't be an easy delivery."Winter gritted his teeth, planning to go in, but Agatha tried to stop him, wanting to point out that he wasn't properly dressed. Thankfully, the doctor walked out and guided him to put on something more suitable. Agatha sighed in relief, knowing how cold and distant her boss could be; she preferred to avoid any interaction with him if possible.After changing out of his suit, Winter was brought into the hospital room. Emelia was lying on the propped-up bed, her complexion very pale, her face twisted in pain. She barely noticed Winter's arrival, not until he stood by her bed and whispered comforting words."You? When

    Emelia’s mind spun as she stared at the intricately designed invitation. Ashton, the man she loved, was getting married. He had moved on. The reasonable part of her was happy for him; it was best that they stay apart after all, and having different partners was the best way to do this. Honestly, she didn't think it would hurt this much. She bit her lips unknowingly, looking aggrieved and uncomfortable. Winter, who had been watching her closely, couldn't help but laugh, but there was no joy in his eyes. So, it was like this; she still couldn't let go, even after so long. "What are you thinking about? It's just a wedding invitation. It's not like you are being forced to go." Although, it would be to his benefit if they went. He wanted her to see Ashton marrying someone else with her own eyes so that in the future, she wouldn't dare think of a life with him. Wasn't he good enough as a husband? Why was she still obsessed with the heir of an underground organization whose business was

    Ashton could pretend to love her, but Lucille must have noticed that his affections weren't genuine. Yet, she clung to him with the hope of changing his feelings one day.She had come to the Barisova compound to see him a day before the wedding. Ashton was in the living room, nursing a glass of Scotch in his hand, looking deep in thought. These days, he seemed to enjoy getting drunk. Lucille went over and sat beside him, though she didn’t close the distance entirely because she knew Ashton valued his personal space above everything else."How are you feeling?" she asked, the concern in her voice drawing the attention of the man beside her."Why are you here? Isn't there a saying that the groom shouldn't see the bride days before the wedding?""Yeah, but I was worried about you." She smiled lovingly.Ashton reached out and placed a hand on her stomach. She was already six months along, and despite everything else, he was at least looking forward to the birth of his child. So, though h

    Emelia’s eyes widened at his sudden accusation. She pulled her mouth off him, gasping for air.“What? No!” she exclaimed, shaking her head. “I wasn’t thinking about Ashton.” The name was heavy on her tongue.She wasn't lying, but she still felt guilty for even making Winter consider the possibility that she would think about another man while they were intimate. She had really left a dark shadow over their relationship, and she didn't think it would ever get better. All she could do was try to correct her mistakes and make it up to him."Really? Then what were you thinking about?""Why I haven’t done this much earlier. It feels so relaxing."Winter raised a brow at her words, then his lips stretched into an amused grin. "Only you, Emelia Carter, would think giving a blowjob was relaxing.""It’s true though." She leaned forward and placed a wet kiss on the head of his cock, which was slick with her saliva. "You smell amazing. I could get lost in your scent for a very long time."Winter

    "I've heard a lot about you," Luciano says. "You are indeed very beautiful. I can see why my son was so infatuated with you."While Emelia blushed at his words, Winter only felt annoyance at the man's shamelessness. How could he talk about someone else's wife in that manner? It seemed he had made a mistake—maybe he shouldn't have come to this stupid wedding in the first place.Luciano and Emelia exchanged a few more words. "Why don't you join my family for dinner before you leave?""I...""We won't be able to dine with you," Winter cut her off abruptly. Emelia looked at him but didn’t say anything else. Luciano didn’t insist and bade them farewell before moving on to greet other guests."I wouldn’t recommend getting close to that man.""I wasn’t. I was simply being polite.""Polite, of course," Winter sneered.Emelia glared at him. "What’s the deal, Winter? I didn’t even do anything wrong. The man was just trying to be a good host, and I was trying to acknowledge his efforts.""Lucian

    "I..." She was about to defend herself, but in the end, there was nothing she could say. "I thought you'd want to see her."Emelia didn’t know whether Ashton would insist on being part of Evelyn’s life, but what she did know was that he deserved to see his daughter, even if this was the last time.Ashton must have thought the same thing. He took the baby from her mother's arms, the slight jostling waking her up. Her ocean-blue eyes fluttered open and peered at him, and Ashton felt his heart melt. In his arms was his daughter. Despite how messed up his life was, he had managed to create something so beautiful.He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead and held her close to his chest. Joy clashed with pain, leaving him feeling utterly overwhelmed. While he was happy to know of his daughter’s existence and felt blessed to hold her in his arms, the thought of parting from her weighed heavily. His beautiful baby girl might never know of his existence; she would grow up calling another man "f

    Sixteen Years Later...Emelia doesn’t usually cook. Most of the time, her job keeps her busy, and she relies on the chefs to get things done. But even work is optional for her—she works for her husband, and Winter doesn’t mind if she doesn’t work at all.On the days she decides to go to the company late, she makes it her duty to prepare breakfast. This morning, she was in the middle of making pancakes, and the delicious smell of coffee and scrambled eggs filled the kitchen. Even the chef beside her, helping out where she could, was once again baffled by Emelia's talent.Before working for the Walkers, Lucy had heard rumors that the Madam was an arrogant woman, difficult to work with. Having climbed the social ladder, leaving her rolling in riches and mingling with the powerful, it was assumed that she would look down on others.However, those were just rumors. Within the first week of working in the household, Lucy realized that Emelia Walker was the kindest and most sincere employer

    "Oh no, he's going to get you in trouble again," Evelyn bit her lips anxiously. Silas couldn't help but follow the movement. He wasn't known by his circle to be a patient person, but he didn't urge her to make a decision quickly. This frightened birdie had a weak mental state; he didn't want to push her into doing something she didn't want to.Besides, this might be the first time he was asking a woman out—usually, they just threw themselves at him."Alright then, but...would you be okay with me telling my father about you? Perhaps if he knows that you are the one who saved me, he might get off my back.""Sure, do as you wish.""How do you plan on doing this? Beth is very skilled; she doesn't even let me go to the bathroom alone.""Don't worry." He glanced at the woman briefly, then rose to his feet and gestured for Evelyn to follow. The blond girl blushed when he held her hand in his; those who didn't know their relationship would think they were a couple. "Your bodyguard isn't the o

    Meet him? He was willing to meet up with her?Evelyn was stunned; it took her a long while to finally digest what her savior was proposing. From their short interaction, she’d thought he didn’t have a good view of her, he might even think she was annoying. But who would have thought that he would propose to meet up again!Her excitement died down, however, when she recalled the events of yesterday. Silas hadn’t hesitated to shoot those people; it was the first time Evelyn had been involved in a violent scene. There was something dark about him; perhaps he was involved in a gang or something. Either way, it meant he wasn’t safe, and the best option would be to stay away from him.Plus, her father and uncle were already mad at her; how could she do something to annoy them again? But she was curious about Silas; she had so many questions for him. If she passed off this opportunity, then who knows when she would get the chance to see him again."I’ll be there."Her mind was already made u

    Sensing the rising tension, Luciano finally interfered. "It's enough now, both of you." He turned his gaze to Ashton; there was a bit of guilt in his eyes. "I will speak with him."Ashton scoffed, and with one last glare at his son, he walked out of the room. Only when he saw his father retreating back did Silas allow his emotions to reflect on his face. He was in disbelief; just now, he had been a bit scared that the man might take action. The way Ashton had stared at him was like looking at a dead thing, cold and detached.Slowly, he sat back on the sofa, his hands trembling by his side, which made him feel very irritated. "What would you like to talk to me about?""The girl you met—you shouldn't get involved with her anymore.""Why?""The reason is not important.""Not important?" Silas laughed dryly. "You saw his reaction just now. Did that imply that whatever is happening here isn't important? You all are trying to hide such a big secret, and you want me to play the role of an id

    Silas was back in Italy by the next morning. Thankfully, he got to his grandfather's house just as his father's car stopped in front of the compound. The handsome man was dressed meticulously in a three-piece suit, his hair kept short and neatly cut. He exuded an air of coldness that intimidated those around him.Luciano came out to greet his adoptive son, a smile playing on his lips. "I didn’t expect you to come here today. To what do I owe the visit?""I'm here to bring the boy home. His mother worries.""He is old enough to go wherever he wants, Amore. There’s no need to coddle him. He is a Beriosova, after all."'That's it,' Ashton thought to himself. 'It's exactly because I know he is a Beriosova.'The longer Silas stayed in a place like this, the harder it would be to untangle him from the web of crime and illegal business his grandfather governed. Ashton hated this kind of lifestyle the most. He had left the compound after marriage, choosing to start an honest business his fami

    Though the man was visibly angry, how could Evelyn leave just like that? She didn’t know why she was still lurking around; a part of her just wanted to get to know this person more. She felt an instant connection to him.Or perhaps it was the resemblance he shared with her mom. Every time she looked at his face, she was left feeling dazzled. He was simply too handsome; just one look into his eyes and she would get flustered. How nice it would be to befriend this person. Only then could she properly repay him for his help.“You don’t understand how difficult it was to find you. Now that I’m here, I can’t simply leave just like that. At least let me take you out for dinner.” No, that sounded like she was asking him out on a date! Seeing the man’s face darken further, she quickly added, “Or we can just talk here. I don’t mind.”“First of all, I don’t appreciate being stalked.” The fact that she had even managed to find him meant he hadn’t been on guard in the first place. That wouldn’t d

    It was Saturday the next day, so she slept far into the morning than usual. She was awakened due to the constant pinging sound her phone made. Groggily, she picked it up and checked the messages; her eyes were wide with shock when she saw that the information had been sent to her. Bella was very meticulous in her work; she'd managed to pinpoint the exact location where the car was being stationed at the moment.The Moonlite Imperial Hotel, a five-star hotel whose history could also be traced back to the Royal family. It was once a mansion which was gifted to a young princess by her father. Though the hotel wasn't very big, due to its historical background and beautiful scenery, it was a popular tourist attraction.Those who stayed at this hotel were clearly people who had the money. Evelyn had been there once on a school tour. It was located in a remote part of town, nearly two hours' drive away from her father's company.Two damn hours!! Now, how the hell was she supposed to achieve

    Molly Walker, the one person Winter couldn't silence. Knowing how malicious his mother was towards his wife and daughter, Winter preferred it if she remained in New York instead of visiting. While he could punish those who dared to spread rumors about his daughter's legitimacy, at least their words were only speculations based on very thin evidence.But Molly knew the truth, and though she never pointed it out directly, her hints weren't exactly subtle. And Winter respected her enough not to have her threatened; he could only watch with great dissatisfaction as she ran her mouth over issues that were of no concern to her."Dad?" Evelyn had gotten out of the car and was waiting for him to do the same, only she saw that the man was lost in his thoughts and was glaring down at the steering wheel like it had offended him greatly."You go in first, I'll be right behind you."Evelyn easily agreed and left the parking lot.

    Unknowingly, she began to entertain the thought of actually considering Sage's proposal.She couldn't take her eyes off him in class. She hadn't noticed just how tall and good-looking he was before; now, it was all she could think about."Ms. Walker, mind taking your eyes off Sage for a moment and paying attention to the board?" The teacher's voice snapped her out of her thoughts, and it also drew the entire class’s gaze to her. Some found it sincerely amusing, while others, particularly Sage's female admirers, gave her warning looks.Evelyn shrank back in her seat, her face aflame with embarrassment. She hadn’t even realized she'd been watching Sage so intensely that even the teacher had noticed.Sage looked over his shoulder at the embarrassed girl and couldn’t help an amused chuckle. "Damn, you finally have her in the bag," his friend and seatmate, Josh, exclaimed. Knowing how long the school heartthrob had been pining for the Winter girl, he was genuinely surprised at her sudden i

    His pupil's visibly dilates. When being stared at by those orbes which were as dark as the abyss, Evelyn found herself startled. She was clearly teasing him, who knew he would have such a strong reaction.His hand trembled and she involuntarily let him go, fearing that she had crossed a boundary that shouldn't be transpired. Had she, in her haste to dispel the conversation made Sage uncomfortable? That can't be, it was simply just touching her through her shirt, there was no direct skin to skin contact. She was just about to appologize she she felt the hand she was holding being retracted back. She could only let go and stare at him with a hint of embarrassment." I just meant..."" I know.
