Chapter One: The Set-Up

“Good evening,” Nicole Abrams said, forcing her voice to stay steady as she approached the receptionist at the Monarch Hotel’s sleek, gleaming front desk. “I have an appointment with Mr. Martins Grant.”The receptionist didn’t bother hiding her curious smirk as she sized Nicole up, then typed briskly into her computer. “Ah, yes. He’s expecting you. Take the elevator to the fifth floor. When you exit, turn right, and it’s the second door on your left.”Nicole nodded, thanked her, and headed toward the elevator, feeling her pulse quicken.This whole meeting had come out of nowhere, courtesy of her mother-in-law, Veronica Fury. Veronica had never been subtle about her dislike of Nicole and had questioned her motives ever since she’d married into the Fury family. So, when Veronica called her this morning, proposing that Nicole handle a “small favor for the family business” to gain her approval, Nicole had agreed without hesitation.She wanted nothing more than to ease the tension betwee

Chapter Two: Sign the Papers

Tears trickled down my face as I sat on the narrow cot in the holding cell, staring up at the cold, gray ceiling. How had my life unraveled so quickly?One moment I was running what I thought was a simple errand for my mother-in-law, Veronica Fury, and the next, I was being accused of embezzlement.The memory of that officer snapping handcuffs around my wrists still burned into my mind, each flashback filling me with humiliation and anger.I hugged my knees to my chest, trying to hold back the tears, but the shame and disbelief were too much.Taylor, my own husband, had allowed this to happen. He hadn’t just doubted me; he’d acted as if I was nothing more than a criminal to him.And Veronica… I had no doubt she’d orchestrated the entire thing. Yet here I was, locked up, my life crumbling around me.A hollow ache settled in my chest. How could Taylor, the man who was supposed to know me better than anyone, turn against me so easily?How could he believe his mother’s word over mine? Ver

Chapter 3: I'm Pregnant 

I noted how the lawyer kept referring to me by my maiden name, as if I and Taylor were already divorced. I stepped out of the lawyer’s office, clutching the divorce papers in my hand.My heart sank as I realized that the only person I had to lean on was Sarah. I rummaged through my bag and pulled out my phone, dialing her number.The line rang once, twice, before her familiar voice finally answered."Nikki?" Sarah's voice sounded tense, worried."Sarah," I choked out, my voice thick with emotion. "I... I'm out. They dropped the charges, but...""Oh, Nikki, thank God!" Sarah said, her voice filled with relief. "Are you okay? I mean... I was so worried."I took a shaky breath. "No. I'm not okay. Taylor... he sent his lawyer with divorce papers, Sarah. He wants nothing to do with me."There was a momentary pause on the other end, just long enough to make my stomach twist with unease."Sarah?" I prompted, frowning.A sigh drifted through the receiver, one so faint it was almost swallowed

Chapter 4: Save My Baby

The room fell into complete silence. It was so still I could almost hear each heartbeat, and every pair of eyes fixed on me. But I only cared about Taylor’s reaction. His jaw clenched, his nostrils flaring as he stared at me, searching for any sign that I might be lying.“Yes,” I whispered, my voice trembling as I looked straight into his eyes. “It’s true. I found out yesterday. That’s why I called you so many times. I wanted to tell you the news, but you didn’t pick up. And when I texted, I said it was something important. That’s what I wanted to share with you.”My heart pounded as I waited, hoping, praying that he’d believe me. His gaze softened, just a fraction, as he scanned my face, and I dared to hope. Maybe, just maybe, he’d see the truth in my eyes.But before he could respond, Veronica’s voice cut through the room, dripping with venom. “You can’t actually be falling for this, Taylor. After everything this woman’s done, do you really think you can believe a word out of her m

Chapter 5: Taylor’s POV

The silence that filled the room was suffocating, but I barely noticed it.All I could see was Nicole, standing there, her voice quivering as she announced her pregnancy. I’d always dreamed of having children one day, of building a family together. Yet, hearing this now, my mind spun in a hundred different directions, each one darker than the last.I tried to read her face, to understand if any of this was true. I wanted so badly to believe her, but how could I?The evidence, the betrayal, the lies, it all weighed heavily on me, too much to just ignore.My gaze hardened, but deep inside, I felt a crack. For just a moment, a part of me wanted to trust her again. Maybe I was wrong.Maybe she wasn’t lying, and I was about to throw away the woman I loved and our unborn child.But before I could even consider it, my mother’s voice cut through my thoughts. “You can’t be falling for this, Taylor! After everything she’s done, you actually believe her? She’s lying! Can’t you see she’ll say any

Chapter 6: Don't Call Him Again

“That’s her, isn’t it?”The voice was loud enough to pierce through the haze in Nicole's mind, which stirred her awake. The sterile white ceiling above seemed to spin, and her nostrils were filled with the faint scent of disinfectant. Slowly, her surroundings came into focus and the harsh whispers of nurses standing by the door filtered in."The so-called Nicole Fury. Can you believe it? After all that drama in the news, she shows up here looking like that.""You mean after being thrown out by her husband? What a disgrace."The words were sharp, digging into Nicole like daggers. Her throat was dry, and a dull ache spread across her body, but nothing compared to the sting of their mockery. "We heard she'd been stealing from her husband, diverting funds to secret accounts..." The dark-skinned nurse said."What a shame!" The second nurse added. "I believe that was why she was arrested. Yet, the kind husband still bailed her."Nicole clenched her fists weakly, willing herself to stay c

Chapter 7: A Cruel Celebration 

"Oh, my god, it feels so damned good to have that bitch out of our lives," Sarah exclaimed excitedly, leaning back into the velvet sofa. Her bright, red nails tapped rhythmically in the glass she held that was filled with sparkling wine.Veronica, sitting across from her, chuckled, the corners of her lips twisting into a smirk. "Mission accomplished," she said, reaching for the bottle of exotic wine resting on the glass coffee table. She poured herself another drink, the golden liquid reflecting the sunlight streaming through the large windows of the Fury mansion. "Let's toast to the end of that nuisance."Their moment was interrupted as a maid made her appearance at the door, hesitant as if to acknowledge entering an uninvited conversation. "Madam Veronica," the maid ventured, "is there anything you might need before I leave for the market?"Veronica's face had hardened. She waved her hand dismissively; her tone was clipped. "No. Go." The servant nodded and quickly scurried off,

Chapter 8: Another Twist of Fate

The morning sunlight spilled into the room, warming Nicole’s face as she sat quietly, her fingers brushing the bandage around her wrist. A soft knock interrupted her thoughts. The doctor, dressed in her crisp white coat and with an air of gentle authority, walked in, holding a clipboard.“You’re being discharged today, Mrs. Fury,” the doctor said, her tone as professional as ever.Nicole straightened, nodding. “Thank you, Doctor.”The doctor hesitated briefly before continuing. “Since no one came to sign your discharge papers, you’ll need to take care of it yourself. Head to the billing counter when you’re ready.”The words hit Nicole like a slap, a reminder of how alone she had become. “Of course,” she murmured, masking the pain with a tight smile.She gathered her few belongings and headed to the front counter of the hospital. The clicking of keyboards and murmurs of conversations filled the air. When it was her turn, she stepped forward, her chest tightening."Name?" the cashier

Chapter 9: Surprises In A Taxi Ride

Nicole’s fingers tightened around the edge of her seat as she repeated the question. “You’re a taxi driver?”Ethan peered back at her in the rearview mirror, his lips twisting in a knowing smile. "Yep! That's me. Surprised?""Umm… not really," Nicole replied, choosing her words with tact. She kept her expression impassive, but the fact was, she was well and truly stumped. A taxi driver paying such a huge bill as if he were buying a candy?“Well,” Nicole said, tilting her head, “I guess I’m just curious how a ‘humble taxi driver’ could afford to shell out that kind of cash back at the hospital like it’s pocket change.”Ethan's smile broadened, and his dark eyes sparkled with mirth. "I figured you'd ask that. The thing is, I'm not just a taxi driver. I own five other taxis and have drivers working for me. They pay me a percentage of their earnings, and it all adds up."Nicole raised her eyebrows, genuinely impressed. "That's… actually really smart. Hard work and diligence, huh?"“Exact

Chapter 10: A Night of Unexpected Encounters

Nicole stared at the elderly woman, her confusion deepening with every passing second. “Excuse me, ma’am,” she said cautiously. “Are you sure you have the right person? Have you… lost your daughter?”But the woman wasn’t listening. Her trembling hands wandered over Nicole’s face and shoulders, as if trying to confirm she was real. Tears streamed down her wrinkled cheeks, her voice shaky but filled with gratitude. “Thank God,” she whispered, her hands clasping tightly around Nicole’s. “Thank God I’ve found you. My daughter. My precious daughter!”Nicole's mouth opened, but no words came out. Too stunned, too baffled by what was happening."Ma'am…," she finally managed, her tone soft but urgent, "I think you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not—""Shhh!" The woman interrupted her with a finger over Nicole's lips. "Don't say anything, my dear. You've been through so much. I can see it in your eyes."Nicole let out a sigh and slowly turned to the taxi driver now visibly irritated.
