The morning sun streamed through my windows, casting a warm glow on everything it touched. I stretched, feeling more alive than I had in weeks. Today was important, and I wanted to look my best.I chose my favorite corporate outfit, a tailored navy blue suit, a crisp white blouse, and black heels.

ADELINE’S POVI came out of the conference room, my heart pounding with a mix of relief and anger. My father, who had been waiting outside, immediately called out and ran after me. "Adeline, wait!" he said, holding me back by my arm. I shrugged him off, but he grabbed my arm again, this time more firmly."How?" he asked, his voice filled with shock. "How did you become the majority shareholder?""It doesn't matter," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "I saved your company from collapse."He looked at me with a mixture of confusion and guilt. "Adeline, please, forgive me," he said, his voice breaking. "I know I never regarded you as an important daughter, and I never even cared to see how you were doing with the whole public backlash. But please, I'm so sorry." He said.I sighed, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over me. "It's okay," I said, even though it wasn't. "I don't need your apologies.

ADELINE’S POVI couldn’t stop the tears. Clarissa was driving to the hospital, and I was grateful she was, because I might have gotten into another accident if she wasn’t driving. My hands were shaking, and my heart was racing. I felt like I couldn't breathe.“Adeline, it’s going to be okay,” Clarissa said, glancing at me with worried eyes. She squeezed my hand gently, trying to comfort me.“I... I can’t lose him, Clarissa,” I whispered, my voice breaking. The thought of Xander in the hospital, hurt and in pain or maybe even dead, was unbearable.“We’ll be there soon,” she assured me, her voice steady despite the tension in the car.The drive felt like it took forever, but finally, we reached the hospital. As soon as Clarissa parked, I unbuckled my seatbelt and threw open the car door. I ran towards the entrance, my heart pounding in my chest.

ADELINE’S POVI sat in the small, cozy room of the hospital, the scent of antiseptic lingering in the air. My grandparents were with me, and it felt like old times, almost. I had missed them so much, but things were different now.My grandmother, with her soft, wrinkled hands, held mine tightly. She looked at me with her kind eyes, full of worry and love. My grandfather, on the other hand, had a stern look on his face. He had always been strong and silent. "I missed you both so much," I said, my voice breaking a little. "I wanted to come earlier, but everything was just so hard."My grandfather, who had been silent, finally spoke. His voice was deep and steady. "Why, Adeline? Why did you refuse to reach out to us for help? We saw all the fake news swirling around, and it was hard for us to just stand by and do nothing. But you made me promise not to help unless you asked for it. I was ready to step in when I heard you were arrested, but fortunately, you called and asked me to come

ADELINE’S POVI sat in the hospital room, the beeping of machines and the quiet hum of the air conditioner the only sounds. Xander lay in the bed, pale and still. My heart ached seeing him like this. I looked over at my grandparents, who had flown into Manhattan and come straight to the hospital. They looked so tired but I know they didn’t want to leave me alone in the hospital."Grandma, Grandpa," I said softly, "you should go to your hotel and get some rest. You've been here for hours."Grandma looked at me with concern in her eyes. "Are you sure, Adeline? We don't want to leave you alone."I smiled and took her hand. "I'll be fine. Please, get some rest. You need it."Grandpa nodded, squeezing my shoulder. "Okay, but promise us you'll clean up and rest too.""I will," I promised, even though I knew I wouldn't leave Xander's side. "I'll take care of myself."They hesitated for a moment longer before finally agreeing. "We'll be back soon," Grandma said, giving me a hug."I know," I
