chapter 51

Jack’s POVI woke up with the sharp sting of regret curling around my chest like a vise. The sunlight streaming through the wide windows of Anastasia’s suite did nothing to dull the ache in my head or the fire in my gut. I blinked against the harsh light, my eyes landing on her slender figure draped in silk sheets beside me. Her hair spilled across the pillow, her breathing soft and even.Reality hit me like a freight train.What the hell had I done?Last night’s events came back in vivid flashes: the gala, the photos from Louis, the rage that consumed me, and Anastasia’s warm, comforting presence. I hadn’t been thinking clearly—no, I hadn’t been thinking at all. I let my anger lead me to a decision I couldn’t take back.I scrubbed a hand over my face, groaning softly as I swung my legs off the bed. I couldn’t stay here. I couldn’t look at her.“Jack?” Anastasia’s groggy voice pulled me back.I glanced over my shoulder, meeting her half-lidded gaze. “I need to go,” I muttered, reachin

chapter 52

Samantha's POVThe world outside my window seemed oblivious to the chaos consuming my life. The hum of traffic, the chirp of distant birds-it was all maddeningly normal. Meanwhile, my world was collapsing. I sat on the couch, staring blankly at my phone as it buzzed with relentless notifications. Every message, every news alert chipped away at what little strength I had left.The photos of Louis and me-photos I had no memory of being taken-were everywhere. Every news outlet, every gossip site had them splashed across their front pages. The headlines were as cruel as the betrayal they documented: "Smith Heiress Caught in Scandal with Ex-Fiancé" and "Samantha Blake: The Fall of a Golden Girl."My chest felt tight as I scrolled through the comments online, each one harsher than the last. Some questioned my character. Others questioned my ability to lead FinCorp. And then there were those who reveled in my misery, gleefully tearing apart the image I'd worked so hard to build.I threw the

chapter 53

Samantha’s POVThe news hit me like a punch to the gut.Jack had sold his shares in FinCorp. The whispers in the boardroom confirmed what I’d dreaded—he was truly done. He wasn’t just walking away from the company. He was walking away from me, from us, from everything we’d fought for.Sisco stood in the doorway of my office, his face grim as he delivered the final blow. “He’s heading to the airport, Samantha. His flight leaves in an hour.”I froze, my heart pounding in my chest. “No,” I whispered, shaking my head. “He wouldn’t… he can’t just leave.”“He’s made up his mind,” Sisco said, his tone steady but laced with sympathy.Panic coursed through me, gripping me with icy fingers. I couldn’t let him go. Not like this. Not without trying one last time to make him understand.“I need to see him,” I said, grabbing my bag and rushing past Sisco. “Take me to the airport. Now.”---The drive to the airport felt like an eternity. My mind raced with a thousand thoughts, a thousand fears. What

chapter 54

Samantha’s POVThe cold silence of my apartment pressed against my chest like a vice. Jack’s voice replayed in my head on an endless loop, his final words tearing through me like a storm.“I loved you, Samantha. But love isn’t enough anymore.”And then there was Anastasia, standing beside him, her smug smirk seared into my mind. The way Jack had turned his back on me, walking toward the plane without a glance, had broken something deep inside me.I wasn’t just heartbroken. I was furious.Louis had orchestrated all of this—every shred of doubt, every crack in my relationship with Jack, every public humiliation I’d endured. He had used me, manipulated me, and left me fighting for my life while he celebrated.I wasn’t going to let him get away with it.---Sisco arrived later that night, carrying the drug test results that proved Louis had spiked my drink. He placed the papers on the coffee table, watching me closely as I stared at them in silence.“This is it,” he said. “This is the evi

chapter 55

Samantha’s POVThe weight of the past weeks sat heavy on my shoulders as I paced my apartment. The pieces were falling into place, but the game wasn’t over. I still had unfinished business with Clara and Louis, both of whom had pushed me to my breaking point.Sisco’s investigation had been thorough. When he walked through the door that evening, his expression was grim, carrying the kind of news that would normally make anyone pause. For me, it was just confirmation of what I’d suspected all along—Clara wasn’t playing fair.“She’s been selling Smith family properties,” Sisco said, tossing a folder onto the table. “Luxury estates, overseas villas, and even some private investments. She’s been funneling the money into an offshore account. She’s planning her escape.”I picked up the folder, flipping through the pages of evidence. Each transaction was detailed—meticulous. Clara had covered her tracks well, but not well enough.“She knows she’s not the legitimate heiress,” I murmured, more

chapter 56

Samantha’s POVThe cryptic message stared back at me from my phone screen, the words twisting in my mind like a knife. “Congratulations, Samantha. You’ve come so far. But the past always catches up.”I didn’t recognize the number, but the intent was clear. Whoever sent it wanted me to know that my fight wasn’t over. The peace I had worked so hard to carve out for myself felt as fragile as glass.I was about to call Sisco when I felt it—a sharp, sudden pain low in my abdomen. My breath hitched as warmth spread across my legs, soaking through the fabric of my dress.I looked down in shock.“Oh my God,” I whispered, my heart racing. My water had broken.---Panic and adrenaline surged through me as I grabbed my hospital bag from the corner of the room. I fumbled with my phone, dialing Sisco’s number.“Samantha?” he answered immediately, his tone alert.“It’s happening,” I said, my voice trembling. “The baby... my water just broke.”“Stay calm,” Sisco said firmly. “I’m on my way. I’ll get

chapter 57

Jack’s POVThe apartment was quiet, but the kind of quiet that pressed against my chest, heavy and suffocating. I sat on the edge of the bed, elbows resting on my knees, staring at the hardwood floor as if it could give me answers to questions I didn’t even know how to ask.Behind me, Anastasia was moving around, her voice soft but persistent. “Jack, you can’t keep doing this. You can’t keep shutting me out.”I didn’t respond. I didn’t even turn to look at her. She always said the same thing, and I didn’t have the energy to give her the same answer.“I’m trying, you know,” she continued, her voice taking on an edge of frustration. “I’ve been patient. I’ve been understanding. But you’re not giving me anything to work with.”“Maybe because there’s nothing to work with,” I muttered, finally breaking the silence.Anastasia froze, her reflection catching in the mirror across the room. Her expression hardened as she turned to face me. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”I stood up, ru

chapter 58

Jack’s POVThe message haunted me. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t push it out of my mind. I sat in the dim light of the apartment, the glow of the phone screen casting eerie shadows on the walls."Samantha Blake has just delivered a healthy baby boy."The words felt heavier each time I read them. A boy. Samantha had a son.And for the first time in months, I let myself ask the question I had buried deep: Was he mine?I gripped the phone tighter, my knuckles whitening. She had named Louis as the father, made it clear in front of the entire world. But what if that wasn’t the truth? What if the boy was mine, and she had lied to protect herself—or me?The idea twisted in my gut, a bitter mix of anger and something deeper, something more vulnerable.---Morning sunlight crept through the curtains, doing little to brighten my mood. I barely noticed Anastasia returning, her movements sharp and deliberate as she slammed the door behind her.“So, you’ve been up all night,” she said, cr

chapter 59

Samantha’s POVThe quiet of my apartment was a stark contrast to the chaos that had consumed my life over the past year. Liam was nestled in my arms, his tiny fingers wrapped around one of mine as he slept soundly. His soft breaths were a balm to my frayed nerves, a reminder that despite everything, this little life was my greatest triumph.I gently rocked him, letting the faint hum of the city outside lull me into a rare moment of peace. But just as I began to relax, a sharp knock on the door shattered the stillness.My heart jumped. It was late, too late for visitors. Sisco usually called before stopping by, and I hadn’t ordered anything.Another knock followed, louder this time. Liam stirred in my arms, his little face scrunching before he settled again. I stood, carefully placing him in his bassinet before making my way to the door.Peering through the peephole, my breath caught in my throat.Jack.I opened the door slowly, my heart pounding as I took in the sight of him. He stood

chapter 60

Samantha's POVThe morning was unusually quiet, the kind of calm that made you uneasy when you knew trouble always loomed around the corner. I was nursing a cup of lukewarm coffee when the world flipped on its head once again.The news alert flashed across my phone screen: "BREAKING: Billionaire Kelvin Smith Awakens from Coma."My breath caught as I stared at the words. The man whose influence had orchestrated so much of my life, directly or indirectly, was awake. The man who was now confirmed to be my biological father.---Within an hour, the hospital was buzzing like a disturbed hive. Reporters swarmed the entrance, microphones and cameras pointed toward the building as security struggled to keep them at bay. Jack and I arrived separately, but our paths crossed as we entered the hospital's lobby."Did you know?" he asked, his tone clipped. His eyes were hard, guarded."No," I said, shaking my head. "I found out the same way you did."He studied me for a moment, his jaw tightening b
