CHAPTER 61That morning, the soft sunlight seeped through the curtains of Cassandra’s room, waking her from a restless sleep. Her body still felt drained after a night filled with tension. She sat at the edge of the bed for a moment, trying to steady her breath and prepare herself for a day that promised to be stressful.After washing her face, Cassandra stepped out of her room and headed to the dining room. There, she found Ben already standing, casually leaning against the wall near the dining table, which was laden with lavish-looking dishes.“Good morning, Cassandra,” Ben greeted, his tone relaxed, but his smile carried a hint of mockery.Cassandra stared at him coldly. “Do you really need to stand here just to watch me?” she retorted sharply.Ben chuckled softly and walked toward the table. “I’m just making sure everything is perfect. The chef I summoned has prepared breakfast per Antonio’s orders. All of this is for you, of course.”Cassandra glanced at the food on the table wit

CHAPTER 63Cassandra couldn’t sleep. Thomas’s words replayed in her mind like a broken record. “Antonio is dangerous.” Agnes’s cryptic warning earlier that night only added to her unease. Was everyone around Antonio merely playing roles in his game of manipulation? And what had Thomas risked to warn her? Questions buzzed relentlessly in her head as she paced back and forth in her room.The clock struck midnight, and the mansion had fallen into a heavy silence. Cassandra knew Antonio would be in his study, reviewing documents or making phone calls as he often did late at night. If there was ever a time to seek answers, it was now.Resolute, Cassandra grabbed her shawl and slipped out of her room. The hallways were dimly lit, casting long shadows that danced with every flicker of the lamps. She moved cautiously, her steps silent on the polished wooden floors. The path to Antonio’s study felt longer than usual, her heart pounding with each step.When she reached the study door, she pause

CHAPTER 65Antonio sat in the hospital waiting room with a commanding posture, yet his eyes betrayed a tension that could not be hidden. The chairs around him were mostly empty, amplifying the eerie and oppressive silence of the space. Ben stood near the door, arms crossed in front of his chest, his face maintaining the vigilance he always carried. However, his gaze occasionally darted toward Antonio, particularly when the man kept rejecting incoming calls on his phone.Antonio glanced at his phone’s vibrating screen again. The name of an important colleague appeared, but without hesitation, he swiped to decline the call. Ben raised an eyebrow, visibly bothered. After several repetitions of the same behavior, Ben finally mustered the courage to speak.“Sir,” Ben cleared his throat softly, drawing Antonio’s attention. “I think you should answer one of those calls. They’re probably waiting on an important decision from you.”Antonio lifted his gaze from the phone, his eyes coldly lockin

CHAPTER 67Morning light slowly filtered through the hospital room curtains, casting soft patterns on the floor. Inside, the silence served as a steadfast companion to Antonio, who remained seated in his chair. His eyes were fixed on Cassandra, who lay asleep. Her face appeared calmer than the night before, though her pallor had yet to fade completely. Antonio sat motionless, maintaining his position like a tireless sentinel.Ben stood in the corner of the room, leaning against the wall. His face showed signs of fatigue, yet he remained alert. From the corner of his eye, he observed his employer, who seemed unaffected by the passage of time. While Ben fought off drowsiness, Antonio stayed focused.“Sir,” Ben finally broke the silence in a soft voice, “it’s morning now. Perhaps you should consider taking a moment to rest.”Antonio didn’t respond immediately. His gaze remained on Cassandra. After a few seconds, he finally said, “Ben, how many times have you repeated that sentence since

CHAPTER 69That night was silent, too quiet, as if every second struck Cassandra's ears like a hammer. Her eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the darkness of the room. Antonio's body lay beside her, his breathing steady, a sign that the man was still fast asleep. Cassandra let out a soft sigh, turning her face to glance at Antonio's peaceful figure. Her heart was filled with overwhelming confusion.Slowly, she pulled back the blanket and got out of bed, making sure her movements didn’t wake Antonio. Her feet touched the cold floor, sending a chill through her body. She walked towards the bathroom, closing the door carefully so as not to make a sound. Cassandra sat on the closed toilet seat, both hands massaging her temples, which throbbed slightly.“What should I do now?” she murmured, her voice sounding like a whisper in the silence. Her hand reflexively went to her still-flat stomach. Yet in her mind, she knew that a tiny life was growing inside her.“I can’t lose him,” Cassandra cont
