UNSPOKEN PROMISES

A couple of days afterwards, Jason found himself near the window of his room, gazing at the darkening skyline. His memories played back the stressful situations with Kendall, her emotional state from their recent talk still on his mind. He felt a strange weight in his chest, a growing concern that wasn't just about their contract marriage. It was something more, something he didn’t know how to handle.His daydream was interrupted by a gentle tap on his door.“Jason?” Kendall spoke softly, almost unsure.He glanced over to find her standing by the entrance, with one hand softly resting on her expanding stomach. The view stirred a deep feeling within him. He was reluctant to acknowledge it, but witnessing her in this state—bearing their offspring—felt changed at this moment."May I enter?" she inquired, speaking just above a whisper.Jason agreed by nodding and moved to the side to allow her to enter. “Of course.”Kendall entered, her steps slower than usual. She looked weary, exhausted

UNSPOKEN TENSION

As the sun began to drop through the wide windows, Kendall unwinds on the living room couch and leisurely traces her fingertips along the edge of the pillow. She felt anxious and unsettled in the unusually quiet house. She hadn’t seen Jason much today, and part of her felt relieved. But another part, the part she was less willing to admit, missed him. Jason walked in just as Kendall was lost in her thoughts, his presence catching her off guard. He looked different tonight—less guarded, more at ease, but there was still something simmering beneath the surface, a tension neither of them knew how to address.“Kendall,” Jason said quietly, almost unsure of his own voice as he approached the couch. He didn’t sit immediately, instead standing a few feet away, as if testing the waters. Kendall quickly looked at him, giving a small, careful smile. “Hey.”The silence lingered between them, both acknowledging it but uncertain of how to break it. Jason finally sat down next to her, closer than

BREAKING THE SILENCE

The house's open windows let in a gentle breeze, adding to the peaceful atmosphere of the evening. Kendall drank tea while seated at the kitchen table, her mind racing with ideas she wanted to ignore. Jason had been aloof following their almost intimate moment, and while she comprehended the reason, it still hurt. She couldn't rid herself of the sense that there had been a change in their relationship, a change that went beyond the contract they agreed upon.Soft echoes of footsteps resonated in the hallway, catching her eye as Jason walked in. Despite his unreadable facial expression, there was a feeling of weight in his movements, as if he was fighting against an immovable burden. His gaze lingered on her briefly as he paused by the kitchen entrance, before moving towards the counter to fetch a glass of water."Having trouble sleeping?" he inquired softly, his voice shattering the quietness.Kendall nodded her head, her grip on the cozy mug increasing. "I have a lot on my mind," she

SHATTERED HOPES

Jason's phone vibrated for the fifth time that afternoon, diverting his attention from the project he had been having difficulty concentrating on. Looking at the screen with a sigh, he saw another message from his assistant, reminding him about the evening meeting with investors. Jason massaged his forehead, sensing the burden of his obligations accumulating once more. It wasn't only his job that bothered him; there was a deeper discomfort that had grown stronger after talking to Kendall.The instant they had shared, when he first revealed his past, remained in his thoughts. He didn't intend to reveal that much to her. He hadn’t meant to let her in. But the way she’d listened, the way her touch had comforted him—it had all felt so... right. And that scared him. This was not expected to occur. Their connection was expected to be based on practicality, rather than emotions.Kendall walked into the living room, her footsteps soft but enough to draw his attention. She looked tired, the su

BREAKING THE SILENCE

Jason was in the hallway looking at Kendall's bedroom door. The residue of their previous dialogue lingered in his thoughts, each brief word and anguished look imprinted in his memory. He didn't intend to harm her - he never did - but his struggle to communicate effectively was causing their relationship to fall apart.He took a deep breath before pushing away from the wall and heading towards her door. His hand hovered in the air, uncertain, until he eventually knocked.Kendall's cautious, soft voice could be heard from the opposite side. “Come in.”Upon entering, Jason felt the gravity of the moment hanging in the air. With her hands clenched in her lap, Kendall perched on the edge of the bed. Despite having a blank expression on her face, she was clearly looking fearfully into his eyes. He was aware that she was waiting for him to provide an explanation for the coldness and distance.He shut the door and then leaned on it briefly. There was a heavy silence filled with unspoken word

STIRRING THE FLAMES

Thane remained seated in his home, absentmindedly swishing a glass of whiskey as he gazed out at the city skyline. The tall structures spread out below him in a never-ending labyrinth, their lights twinkling in the night sky. Typically, the vista provided him with a feeling of authority, a cue of his status as superior to everything below. However, this evening, the room's subdued buzz felt overwhelming, his thoughts bearing down on him like a gradual suffocation.His investigation into Jason had stalled. Every lead, every question he had thrown into the shadows of his brother’s life had come back empty, and each dead end felt like a personal failure. Jason had always been slippery, but now—especially after the sudden marriage—something didn’t sit right. It was as if Jason had anticipated every move Thane would make, leaving nothing for him to find. He tightened his jaw as he considered it.However, he was unable to release it. As time progressed, his frustration increased. The more J

PRESSING FOR THE TRUTH

Thane’s car weaved through the early evening traffic, his grip tight on the steering wheel as he navigated the familiar route to Jason’s office. The cityscape blurred around him, but his mind was sharp, fixed on one goal—getting the truth. Jason had slipped through his fingers too many times, and now, with Isabella’s words still ringing in his ears, Thane felt the urgency boiling in his chest. His step brother's wedding, Kendall's pregnancy - everything seemed confusing, but tonight he was set on making Jason slip up.Upon arriving at the building, Thane's stomach twisted with excitement. Stepping out of the car, the chill of the night air against his skin couldn't extinguish the fire of his frustration. He entered the building with purpose, his fast strides ignoring the receptionist's nervous smile. Thane had visited enough times before - this wasn't for socializing, and everyone understood not to inquire when he was in this state.The elevator journey to Jason's floor seemed never-e

STARTING OVER

Kendall's heart raced as she stood at the new hospital's entrance. The bright, white hallways seemed distant and uninviting, in stark contrast to the comforting atmosphere she used to experience at Doctor Sophia's office. Taking a deep breath, she attempted to calm herself, yet the burden of it all - the deceit, the hidden truths, the disloyalty - weighed heavily on her chest.She didn't desire to depart from Doctor Sophia, but with the turn of events, there was no possibility of returning. The doctor's confession had ruined the fragile sense of security Kendall had clung to during her pregnancy. Now she was left with nothing but uncertainty, the trust she had built over months shattered in an instant.As she approached the reception desk, Kendall’s nerves tingle. Her discomfort only increased in the sterile surroundings.She greeted the receptionist with a polite smile, saying "Good morning."

CAUTIOUS STEPS FORWARD

As she opened the door, Kendall gripped her hands tightly together, trying to hide the little tremor in her fingers. The space was neat and comfortable, with beautiful sunlight streaming in from a nearby window. Dr. Rosen, a middle-aged woman with cropped hair and a peaceful attitude, was seated at a spacious desk. She made eye contact with Kendall and motioned for her to take a seat. Dr. Rosen greeted Mrs. Carter with a professional smile, expressing his pleasure in meeting her. "I have examined your documents and acknowledge that this is your initial appointment with me, so let's allocate some time to discuss your well-being and plan for the future." Kendall gave a nod, her heart pounding in her chest as she settled into the chair across from the doctor. The strong scent of antiseptic in the air only increased her feeling of discomfort. As Dr. Rosen began discussing her prenatal health, Kendall’s mind drifted to the whirlwind of events that had led her here—Doctor Sophia’s confes

UNEXPECTED SIGHT

Catherine’s heels clicked rhythmically against the pristine hospital floor, echoing through the maternity ward as she walked with her usual air of control. Her PA, a step behind, carried a tablet filled with today’s tasks, her fingers flying over the screen to keep pace with Catherine’s agenda. As they passed rows of patients and nurses, Catherine’s sharp eyes took in everything—the young mothers cradling their newborns, the nurses bustling around, and the sterile, gleaming white tiles beneath her feet.Today’s visit was about charity. Donations to the maternity ward—a cause she found to be rewarding and one that fit perfectly with the polished image she maintained. Helping new mothers provided her with a feeling of purpose, not only because it was a noble cause but also because it solidified her role as a influential and caring woman. It was imperative for everything to be flawless, and in Catherine's opinion, it was."Mrs. Catherine," her PA’s voice interrupted her thoughts, "the do
