031: Guilt

Derek's eyes scanned the sterile hospital hallway, the faint scent of antiseptic lingering in the air as he made his way towards Autumn's room. The permit in his pocket was still warm, and the memory of his recent work call buzzed faintly in the back of his mind. He clutched a small bouquet of flowers—a vibrant hibiscus—its petals soft under his fingers, intending to offer it to her as a small gesture. His mind wandered to the last time he visited. He had managed to get Autumn her phone, the only thing that kept them connected when his work pulled him away. But he could still hear Charlie's playful jab, teasing him about always showing up empty-handed. The words hadn’t stung, but then, he felt a twinge of guilt. He could not forget Autumn's almond-shaped eyes, wide and bright despite her condition, catching his gaze like a beacon. In that instant, he wished he could fill the room with flowers, a sea of color that might make her smile just a little brighter. Derek hadn't known what fl

032: Caught

It was a miserable sight. Ivan rushed to Iris’s side, dismissing Derek's perspective entirely. His nephew’s eyes burned with contempt, a silent challenge simmering in the air as if Ivan needed to reassert his dominance. Derek remained unfazed, his expression cold and detached. Without a word, he turned to leave, his intention clear—he would head to Autumn’s ward.But Ivan moved swiftly, stepping into Derek’s path, blocking his way. The tension between them crackled like a live wire."You've been spending way too much time with my wife, don't you think?" Ivan’s voice was low, laced with a dangerous edge. Derek’s gaze flickered to Iris, who lay feigning sleep, her breathing uneven and unconvincing."Isn't that better?" Derek’s voice, deep and smooth, carried a hint of mockery. He tilted his head slightly, eyes narrowing. "You can have your mistress, and your wife doesn’t have to worry about your affair. Everyone’s happy, aren’t they?" Ivan's grip on Iris tightened involuntarily, his kn

033: Falling

The mortified look on Iris's face was unmistakable. She froze in her spot, her expression blank and stiff, but her eyes betrayed a storm of emotions. Her face contorted into a trembling mask of disbelief, her lips quivered as if struggling to form words, and her tongue felt heavy, locked within her mouth, unable to utter a single syllable. In that moment, if it wasn't already known, one could have mistaken Iris for the mute one, not Autumn.A nervous, almost humorless scoff escaped Iris's lips, a hollow sound that carried no mirth. Her gaze, sharp and frantic, was fixed on Ivan. "T-That's not the entire thing. S-She's lying to your face, Ivan," she stammered, her voice wavering as her lips quivered, curling into a desperate pout.Autumn, with a calmness that only fueled Iris's growing panic, played the audio once more. The room filled with the damning evidence. Iris's rage erupted. In a frantic, unthinking motion, she lunged at Autumn, desperate to seize the phone and silence the dam

034: If looks could kill

The feeling was new, or it felt new. Sitting in silence in the car as Ivan drove the both of them. Her face glued to the window screen of the car, her phone buzzing from receiving texts from Charlie.Autumn managed to look at her phone as Charlie showed her multiple pictures of her birthday dress, food and venue for her party.She had her maid pick up Charlie's gift. The little money she owned she hired a jewler to make the Red scarlet necklace. Although it's very expensive but it wasn't what Charlie fawned about during her visits.Charlie had been talking about having the blue heritage necklace in her possession, it was almost worth 200 million dollars.Well she couldn't blame Charlie for having that kind of necklace in her possession she was a Fraser. Although she couldn't afford it she couldn't just show up without a gift, hence she settled for the red scarlet."Who are you texting?" Ivan asked, Jolting Autumn back into reality.She immediately opened Ivan's chat and texted him. "T

035: Who said I'm drunk?

A wide smile plastered itself on Elliot's lips, a blend of amusement and something more primal flickering in his eyes. His amusement was mirrored by a stirring excitement that settled in the third member between his legs. His gaze lingered, tracing every delicate movement of the maid as she approached, her graceful steps almost mesmerizing. As she poured a glass of rich, dark wine into his goblet, Elliot's eyes followed her every gesture—every tilt of the wrist, every shift of her hips. The deep red liquid swirled in the glass, but his attention was far from the drink. When she moved to fill Ivan’s glass, Elliot’s gaze remained locked on her, captivated by the gentle sway of her form, the soft rustle of her uniform. He shook his head slightly, a wry smile tugging at his lips. If only the women in his manor possessed the same allure as those who served Ivan. A thought struck him—he was genuinely surprised Ivan hadn’t boasted about bedding a maid or two by now. All Ivan ever seemed to

036: Pregnant

Cool, warm breath morphed into a faint mist each time she gasped, the frigid air biting at her skin. Iris felt the numbness creeping into her limbs, the cold seeping deep into her bones. Her head snapped around, eyes wide with fear as she scanned the area, desperate to make sure no one had witnessed what she had just done. Panic clawed at her chest, her breath coming in short, ragged bursts, her neck stinging as though unseen hands were choking her.Her gaze darted back to the pool, where tiny bubbles surfaced—Autumn’s final breaths. A hiss of disdain escaped Iris's lips as she glared at the water. Maybe Autumn had been right; maybe she was drunk. She hadn't meant to assault Autumn, not at first. Her plan had been simple: shatter the bottle on the floor, grab a jagged piece, and stab herself. Then, in front of everyone, she’d blame Autumn for the attack. But anger had taken control, and instead, she smashed the bottle against Autumn's head."No matter," Iris muttered, gripping the sha

037: Betrayed

Feeling groggy, Iris blinked her eyes open. A sharp pain in her abdomen jolted her senses awake. She winced as the tight bandage constricted her swollen stomach, each breath pulling at the wound beneath. The throbbing pain was a cruel reminder of what she had sacrificed—and for what? In the end, she had nothing to show for it. Ivan hadn't even spared her a glance, leaving her feeling like a ghost in a crowded room. It was as if she were invisible, an afterthought in everyone’s mind. No one cared for her, and it was all Autumn's fault.As her vision cleared, the cool sterility of the hospital ward came into focus. The antiseptic smell invaded her nostrils, and she wondered briefly if they had brought her to Derek’s hospital. The effort to keep her eyes open left her feeling drained, as if the mere act of seeing sapped what little strength she had left. Her gaze flitted around the room until it landed on Ivan, sitting slumped in the chair beside her bed. Tears welled up and spilled down

It wasn't too long when her eyes opened wide and she found herself back in the cold solace of the hospital.Her skin crawls with goosebumps, she felt a small bandage at the side of her head. Her hands tries to massage the throbbing part of her head only to feel the mental shock of pain sparking against her head.The door slightly opens as Dexter and Charlie walks in together. On seeing that Autumn was finally awake, Charlie rushes to meet Autumn, pulling her in a warm embrace."Autumn, how long have you been awake?" Charlie asked, she let out a loud sigh recalling Autumn could not speak.

She shows Charlie the phone."I'm sorry about your birthday Charlie, I didn't mean for this to happen." Charlie shook her head."It's

039: The Test

Fear ran through Autumn's eyes, a definitive fear that Ivan noticed. He paused realizing the position he's in and slowly gets up. His hand palms his face. His annoyed face that's developed into a slightly pitiful look."Do you hate me so much that you had to do this?" Ivan's voice cracked in disbelief. Autumn turned away, disgusted at the sight of Ivan. She could not even react on the sudden news. She was pregnant and she had no recollection sleeping with anybody.Her throat felt dry as if Ivan was still holding on her neck, the stings were there the feeling of Ivan almost ending her life.Ivan extends his hand to Autumn, hesitant, she takes it holding his pitiful gaze as he pulls her up.He noticed she was bleeding due to removing the syringe earlier and furrowed his brows at her."I'm sorry Autumn."
