[A Month Later][Sasha]“What do you mean it’s declined? Try again.”I huff out, annoyed. Check my phone and across through my feeds.But the woman behind the billing counter clears her throat again, and I feel like I want to die right now.I snap my gaze at her. “What?”She looks pathetic. “I deeply apologize for the inconvenience, ma’am, but your card got declined again. Maybe you should see if something is wrong on your end?”What the hell is that supposed to mean? That I’m poor?I frown. “There’s nothing wrong on my end. Just try it again.”She hesitates, then swipes my card for a third time.I feel the eyes of the other customers on me, and something about them picks up my pulse, burning under my skin. My fingers tap impatiently on the counter, trying to distract myself from the sinking feeling in my stomach.The machine beeps. The woman looks up, sympathy practically dripping from her expression. “I’m sorry, ma’am. It’s still declined.”I snatch the card back, my face burning. “

Chapter 152

[Sasha]When I reach the Lawrence residence, I put my hand on my stomach and walk carefully.When I find Caden’s mom in the piano room, discussing something with one of the maids, I enter, sniffling.Caden’s mom looks up, her expression shifting from surprise to concern as she takes in my watery eyes and trembling lips.“Oh, Sasha! What’s wrong?” she asks, rushing toward me with genuine worry etched on her face.I swallow hard, fighting to keep my emotions in check. “I’m sorry, Mom. I didn’t mean to act like this. But I can’t stop myself. I’m so overwhelmed with these emotions these days that even the littlest things make me cry.”The older woman chuckles as she guides me to the sofa in the corner. “Oh, sweetheart, that’s absolutely normal.” She turns to face the maid. “Bring her some water and something to eat. Quick.”The maid rushes out of the room, nodding.I roll my eyes, but just when Caden’s mom looks back at me, I manage a sad smile. “I—I just had a really tough day,” I manage

Chapter 153

[Caden]I pace outside Sasha’s hospital room, running a hand through my hair for the thousandth time.An hour ago, she had severe stomach pain, and I immediately rushed her to the hospital. Now, it’s been almost 40 minutes, and the doctor and nurses have been going in and out, and I have no fucking clue what’s going on in there.Every time I try to ask, they just breeze past me as if this doesn’t concern me at all.As if I’m invisible.Then again, maybe they’re not so wrong…My thoughts are disrupted when the doctor finally comes out and stops in front of me.“Mr. Lawrence, right?” he says, and I nod.He smiles. “We’ve done all the necessary check-ups, and everything seems fine. Your wife and baby are doing great.”My instincts scream at me to tell him that neither is she my wife, nor is the baby mine, but the promise I made to Mom makes all resistance vanish. I swallow what feels like my fucking pride and nod.“What about the pain? She was in a lot of pain a while ago. What was that?

[Caden]The second we walk out of the hospital, my phone rings.I pick up as I help Sasha into the backseat.“Yes?”“Oh gosh. Thank God you answered, sir. This is Betty, by the way. I called to let you know about something very important.”“I know it’s you, Betty,” I say, rolling my eyes as I close the door and nod at the driver. “What’s so important?”She stutters. “Right. Yes. Sorry. I know this isn’t the best time, but you need to come to the office right away. All the directors are here, and they look very concerned.”I frown. “Concerned about what? And all of them?”“Yes, all of them. And concerned because… wait. You haven’t seen the news? It’s practically everywhere.”That doesn’t sound right. “What’s everywhere? And for the love of God, if you asked me another question instead of explaining to me what’s happening, I’m going to fire your fucking ass, Adams. Hear that.”“Okay, okay! There’s been a fall…in the share market…I thought you already knew…”I stop and turn around, not f

Chapter 155

[Vivienne]“Are you sure about this, Ms Richardson?” Marcus asks, looking simply as concerned as he sounds. “You just finished your monthly routine check-up, and it’s so hot today. Shouldn’t we be on our way back home? You need rest.”He’s right. I do feel tired. This pregnancy has me feeling all sorts of things and sometimes I can barely keep my eyes open. But I did promise Theo of this visit this weekend. He has been doing everything I tell him for the past few months, but the last few weeks have been especially hard, considering the product that we launched.During our last call, he could barely sit with his spine straight.I don’t blame him. He’s young, and I might be asking too much from him.Anyway, to cheer him up, I promised to have a surprise lunch with him.Ever since I told him that, he has been extra excited than his usual self.I can’t let him down now.I turn to face Marcus, smiling. “I’ll be fine. Just wait for my call. We might leave earlier than you think.”He nods. “

Chapter 156

[Vivienne]To my huge dismay, Sasha decides to ride the elevator with me.And you’d think she’d get the hint and stop pestering me with her sad excuse of a love life—especially since I made it clear how little I care—but no, she doesn’t. She keeps yapping, way too close to my ear.“Are you seriously going to act like you don’t care? That nothing I said bothered you, even a little?” she scoffs, crossing her arms over her chest. “Well, if that’s true, maybe it’s for the best. It’s about time you accepted none of your pathetic little games to win Caden over was ever going to work. I mean, have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror? You’re not even that pretty. His dumb secretary looks way better than you.”I roll my eyes, waiting for my floor to arrive. It’s really not worth my health to engage with her toxic, desperate attempts to rile me up. Stay calm, I remind myself.“What? Cat got your tongue?” she laughs, smug. “Ha! I knew you were just pretending not to care. You’re still the

Chapter 157

[Vivienne]The second I reach my floor, the first person I see is Theo—and he doesn’t look happy.“Who the hell was that?” he asks, frowning down at me.“Who was who?” I ask, glancing around.“That woman. The one on the phone. The one who took your phone away.”That’s when it clicks. He must have overheard the entire conversation after Sasha snatched my phone. I never disconnected the call.Oops.I shake my head, chuckling lightly.“Hey! It’s not funny. That woman sounded like a real piece of work. I need to know what happened.”“Of course, big man. But can we talk about this in your office? I’m exhausted, and my feet are killing me.”His expression softens slightly. “Yes, yes, of course. This way,” he says, moving his arm behind me to guide me to his office.Once inside, I settle onto the comfy couch while his assistant brings me some water.“Thanks,” I say, smiling at her. She returns the gesture with a soft grin.When Theo and I are finally alone, he sits across from me, arching a

Chapter 158

[Sasha]“This is taking too long,” Arthur—my brother—groans, running a hand through his hair. “I have places to be. I can’t waste my whole day in this shit.”I roll my eyes. “I have been coming over here for five days and you can’t survive a few hours? God, dad’s right. You’re too dumb to understand how important this is.”Calling him dumb gets me the reaction I want from him. He looks pissed once again. “Call me that again and I’ll show you who’s actually dumb here. God knows whose child you have in there. But that didn’t stop you from running to that asshole for help.”“Oh, please!” I growl under my breath, my patience snapping like a tight wire. Now he’s turning his temper on me, and that’s not going to fly. “At least I’m doing SOMETHING to help the family. What the hell have you done? Nothing but party, drink, and screw around like you’re living in some reality TV show. Do you even know what day it is? Or are you too busy chasing tail to notice how close we are to losing everythin

Chapter 159

[Sasha]As soon as we take our seats, I start to speak.However, before I even get my first word out, Mr. Yardley holds up his hand and cuts me off.“Wait. I’m waiting for someone. Let them get here first.”I look at my brother, who does the same, exchanging confused glances. Who else could be needed while we discuss this matter between our companies?My curiosity gets the best of me. “May I know who we are waiting for?”Mr. Yardley gives me an unimpressed look. “Someone who matters to me. Any more questions?”I do, but after hearing his tone, I decide it would be in our favor to go along with him. He’s the one in the dominant position right now. And if I can suck up to that idiot Lawrence family for as many years as I have, I can do this too.All I have to do is keep calm and make sure he hears me out.Next to me, Arthur groans under his breath, his fingers tightening around the armrest. I know what he’s doing. He’s getting more and more pissed. And it’s understandable. He’s not used

Chapter 160

[Sasha]My mouth hangs open. I don’t know what to say.She’s not wrong to point out that we got the biggest loan, but most of it my family ended up spending on personal bills. Ever since then, we’ve only been paying our employees a quarter of what we promised. Because of this, many of them ended up resigning. But Dad didn’t mind. He figured the fewer mouths to feed, the better.I chew on the inside of my cheek. “Well, our business was also hit the hardest, which explains the biggest loan,” I try to reason, cursing this bitch to the moon and back.Mr. Yardley sighs. “All I’m hearing is an excuse, Ms. Clarkson. Do you have something else to say?”Vivienne stands there like she couldn’t be enjoying this more.Or maybe it’s all in my head. But I can’t help it. I hate that she’s here, holding the fate of my family in her hands. All because this man doesn’t seem to have a mind of his own; he seems too dependent on her opinion.I try to think. “It’s not an excuse, Mr. Yardley. It’s the truth
