Chapter 171

[Caden]My flight is delayed again, and I end up sitting at the bar. A drink in my hand, a million thoughts in my head. Out of the corner of my eye, I notice someone taking the stool next to me, but I barely turn or acknowledge them. I just want to be left alone.After what Dr. Kaito said about my unborn child, I can’t stop wondering what to do next. Convincing Vivienne to give up the baby is out of the question. She already thinks the worst of me, and no matter what I say, she won’t listen.But isn’t that what I’ve always been afraid of?It’s not that I don’t want a child—who the hell wouldn’t? The problem is this damned treatment I’ve been going through. I never found the courage to tell Vivienne about my… issue. I knew she would have understood, but she always saw me as this perfect man. I couldn’t shatter that image. I never wanted to be anything but perfect—not for anyone but myself, and for her. If she knew how broken I really was, how my own family abandoned me because they con

Chapter 172

[Caden]I cannot help but roll my eyes when Alexander slipped on the seat next to me.If only I had the energy to get up and leave—I would have loved to ignore whatever he was here for.But I couldn’t even do that. After learning that my already fallen world was about to implode too, I felt drained and useless and meaningless.Nothing mattered. Not even the care that he’s the last person I should be dealing with right now.I focus on my half-finished drink.“You are very hard to find, Caden,” he says, and that too ever so smoothly.I hate it. I hate it so much I want to punch him in the face. But that would require interest, and I don’t have it either.“What do you want now?” I take a long sip, wanting to dull the effects of the words that are sure to come out of his mouth.He orders himself a whiskey and then dribbles on the wooden counter, probably testing my patience here. “Mother wants to meet you.”“Not happening,” I say and finish my drink in one go. The mention of that woman fi

Chapter 173

[Vivienne]I wake up in the middle of night, feeling thirsty.I turn on the lamp and grab the bottle, hoping to pour myself some water.Only to find the bottle is empty.Of course, it is. I have been so thirsty recently, gulping down water as if not an entire waterfall could satisfy me.I sigh and get out of bed, heading out of my bedroom.I could have called one of the staff to bring me another bottle of water, but one look at the clock made me reluctant. It’s half past two. Not the time to disturb someone, especially when I can do that myself.I take the stairs and enter the kitchen. And as I do, my stomach grumbles as if I haven’t eaten anything for ages.God, this pregnancy. It’s turning me into an animal. I have no control over my diet, and I definitely have no control ov

Chapter 174

[Vivienne]We rush to the hospital, and I can’t help but panic at the thought of the worst happening.I can’t lose my baby. I just can’t.This has to be some kind of misunderstanding.Maybe what I saw isn’t as scary as it seemed. Maybe I’m overreacting.Yes, I have to cling to that thought—to that hope. There’s no way I’m going to let anything happen to my child.When we reach the hospital, the nurse confirms that I’m still bleeding.My heart clenches at the news, and I pray to whoever is listening, Please, please, please help me just this once.The doctor arrives and asks me some routine questions. He orders an urgent ultrasound, and we all exhale in relief when he finally says the child is fine.I nearly cry from the overwhelming rush of relief. “Thank you, doctor. You have no idea how badly I needed to hear that.”The kind doctor offers a reassuring smile as he explains the next steps. “Ms. Sinclair, I understand how frightening this must be for you, but I want you to know that we’

Chapter 175

Tears burn my eyes as I hear Mr. Parker’s words.But he’s not wrong. I don’t have to be alone in this. I don’t have to keep my troubles to myself, especially now that I have people who genuinely care.Of course, my family was always there, and I was the one who distanced myself from them in the first place. But still, I can’t make the same mistake again.I remember that one time when I fractured my ankle after twisting my foot on the stairs. I was all alone in the hospital, and at home too. No one came to see me. Caden was off on his business trips, and his family never cared enough to even ask if I was alive or dead. I spent the entire week by myself, surrounded only by maids. When Caden finally returned home and learned about my fall, all he did was ask how I was doing and make some extra arrangements to oversee my health. Nothing more. We didn’t even sleep in the same room.I mean, I knew he was quiet and mostly kept to himself from the start, but he wasn’t exactly dumb, was he? Co

Chapter 176

[Vivienne]“Oh boy,” Rosita rolls her eyes when we both realize it’s Sasha and not some psych patient who escaped from their ward. “Not again.”But Sasha doesn’t even spare Rosita a glance. She completely ignores her and drills her sharp gaze into me instead. Crossing her arms, she grimaces. “You know, something tells me you’re obsessed with me. I mean, why else would we keep bumping into each other like this? It can’t be a coincidence, right? I know it isn’t.”I have no idea what’s going on. “I’m sorry, what?”She rolls her eyes, acting as if she knows everything. “Please, drop the act. You and I both know you’re a terrible actress. So, spare us the dramatics and get straight to the point. What the hell do you want?”Rosita and I share a glance, both of us equally confused.I look back at Sasha. “Well, right now, I’d love nothing more than some space and quiet, if you don’t mind.”Instead of taking the hint, she storms into the room and yanks the sheet off me, throwing it to the floo

Chapter 177

[Caden]“How much longer?” I ask, irritated.It’s been two hours since I arrived at the restaurant where Alexander arranged the meeting. Finally, I would see the woman who hasn’t stopped stalking me ever since she learned of my accomplishments. The same woman who still has the nerve to call herself my mother.Mother. Huh. Does she even know what that word means? Does she know anything at all?I glance around the restaurant one more time and sigh in utter displeasure. Alexander’s men are everywhere, stationed in every corner of the building, yet there’s no sign of him—or her.I prepare to leave, but a hand on my shoulder forces me back into my seat.I glare up at the man, who only grins. “They’re here.”I look forward, and there they are. The two people I despise the most, walking closer and closer, making me want to get up and leave even faster.I try not to care about the woman who enters the room as if she owns it. Head held high, hands clasped in front of her, holding some sort of

Chapter 178

[Vivienne]“Are you telling me that you already made the offer to buy out the Clarksons?” I ask, wanting to confirm that I heard correctly.Theo shrugs. “Yup. You think I’d waste time after what that family did? Especially that vile woman who badmouthed you? They had it coming, and you know that.”I shake my head. I knew Theo and Harvey were angry after Sasha’s and Arthur’s respective actions, but I didn’t expect them to act so quickly. I thought they would at least inform me first or keep me in the loop.“And when did you make the offer?” I ask.“First thing in the morning,” Theo says proudly. Once again, I shake my head.No wonder Sasha seemed furious today. She probably thought I was behind it.But, of course, I was behind it. If not for me, Theo probably would have taken more time to decide to call in the loan.“Hey, you have nothing to worry about,” Theo says, drawing my attention back to him. He sits at the foot of the bed and looks into my eyes. “Even if they hadn’t done what t

Chapter 179

[Vivienne]“What did she do this time?” Theo asks, before Harvey and I can even wrap around what Rosita just blurted out.Rosita rushes in, looking really troubled. “Guys, I don’t know what’s going on. But she just posted this video a few minutes ago and the media is already giving it the blind coverage.”Harvey waves a hand in the air. “What can she possibly say now to cause such havoc?”Rosita avoids looking at him. “Uh. Well, she said something for sure, and now it’s all over the internet.”The suspense is killing me and I was the one who was supposed to be calm. I shake my head. “Just show me already.”Rosita hands over the phone and I tap on the screen. A video starts playing.On the screen, Sasha appears utterly devastated, her eyes red and swollen as though she’s been crying for hours. Her voice trembles with every word.“I—I am Sasha Clarkson, daughter of Albert Clarkson. I’m here to… to beg the Richardson family for forgiveness.” She takes a shaky breath, barely able to speak

Chapter 180

[Caden]The moment I reach home, I’m surrounded by mom and dad.“Where the hell have you been, Caden? We have been worried sick.” Mom says, as she grabs my face and scans as if I have come from a fight and not a flight. “Are you hurt? Did you get into any trouble? Why didn’t you return any of our calls? That’s not like you. You always call back. Always.”She’s not wrong. I do keep my parents aware of my whereabouts, at least, as much as I can But ever since this experimental treatment started, I had no choice but to keep it from them. God knows if they knew the dangers and side effects that I might have because of this said treatment, they would never let me go ahead with it.But I can’t let that happen. This treatment might be my only choice to have a normal life. A life where I don’t have to pretend to be something I am not, where I can be honest and not hide my face around just so I wouldn’t have to deal with it.I grab Mom’s hands and pull them down. I look her in the eyes. “I’m f
