Chapter: Chapter hundred-twenty-four Jessie's eyes shot open a few minutes later when he heard the soft snores from Lisa's room. He could tell she had fallen asleep really quickly out of exhaustion because she hadn't slept the previous night, and she felt safer sleeping now that he was in the house.He quickly took off his sleeping mask and opened his bag... he took out the security cameras he had gotten earlier.He glanced around the house, looking for the perfect spots to fix the camera. He had also gotten a hidden camera smoke detector so that no one would easily suspect it was a camera. He placed it directly on the ceiling in the living room.He tried to work as quietly as possible to avoid waking her from sleep.He fixed another one at the entrance of the kitchen... he didn't want to place any inside her room. He wanted her to have her privacy still. Besides, no one could get into her room without passing through the living room. He had thought of placing a bug in her house, but that would be too m

Chapter: Chapter hundred-Twenty-three"How is he doing? Will he be okay?" Mrs.Park asked the doctor anxiously as she stood over Adrian 's hospital bed. She had been very shocked when she received a call that he had been involved in an accident. She couldn't understand why he had been driving on that road when it was raining. What had been so important that he had to travel that distance? Mrs. Park wondered as she sat beside his bed."He's fine. He was lucky an ambulance van was on that road at that time," The doctor told her.A few minutes after the doctor left, Adrian groaned in pain as he opened his eyes."Mother?" He called as he tried to focus on her face."You're awake? What happened to you?" She asked in a worried tone which surprised him. His mother never really cared much about him, so he was surprised to see her looking worried."Tyler... I met... Tyler and Mira... together," Adrian said between sobs."Tyler and Mira? You mean Tyler is dating Mira?" She asked in confusion. Why

Chapter: Chapter hundred twenty-two "Why are you suddenly asking me about that?" Mrs. Dalton asked tight-lipped as she dressed up Tyler's wounds."Because I need to know exactly what happened," Tyler said, wincing when she dabbed his wound with alcohol."I'm not interested in talking about it. Let's talk about something else," Mrs. Dalton said, moving away from him after she applied a bandage to his broken nose."Mom... I'm not supposed to tell you this because Lisa insisted we keep it away from you, but if telling you will make you open up, then I have to. Someone is blackmailing Lisa, and she says it's her birth mother... how did you end up adopting Lisa, who isn't an orphan?" Tyler asked in a very quiet voice.The blood drained off Mrs. Dalton's face when she heard this. "How long has this been going on? Why didn't she tell me about it?" Mrs. Dalton asked as she frantically searched around for her phone to call Lisa, but Tyler stood up and placed his hands on her shoulder to hold her in place."

Chapter: Chapter hundred-twenty-oneMira, who had quickly recovered from her initial shock, rushed to stop Adrien, but he roughly pushed her aside as he advanced toward Tyler.Tyler, who had been willing to let Adrian throw him a few punches until he calmed down, angrily pounced on Adrian the moment Adrian pushed Mira roughly."How dare you lay your filthy hands on her?" He asked as he angrily landed punch after punch on Adrian's gut. Adrian kicked in his crotch and landed a punch on his face the moment he crumpled to the ground.Tyler looked up in surprise when Adrian suddenly crumpled to the ground beside him in pain, Mira was standing with a skillet pan in her hand, and her eyes were looking wild and frantic.She fell to the ground beside Tyler when she noticed blood rushing from the gash on his lower lip. Mira reached forward and tried to wipe away the blood."I thought he was going to kill you. You're injured," She said, looking at the bruises on his face and lips. Tyler winced, suddenly fee

Chapter: Chapter one hundred-twenty "What have you been up to?" Governor Shaun asked Aria the moment she entered his office."Work. I've been busy with work," Aria told him. She was in charge of the company's clothing line hence her good taste in clothes."So, when did you find the time to cause trouble?" He asked her angrily. Aria was used to her father's fiery temper, so she knew very well that he was going to hit her if she didn't give him a satisfactory answer. "I didn't cause any trouble," She answered fearfully, taking some steps backward."What happened to your engagement with Park Adrian?" He asked curiously.Aria had thought her father had forgotten all about it... "We don't suit each other. Adrian is in love with someone else," She told him."Who gave you the right to cancel it without my permission?" He roared angrily."I'm sorry, father. I was wrong," She apologized with her head bowed."Who is the young lady you slapped yesterday, and what's your business with her?"

Chapter: Chapter one hundred-Nineteen"I feel so left out. How could you not tell me about your date with Jessie?" Mrs. Dalton complained the moment she was able to reach Lisa.She had wanted to ask Tyler about his discussion with Jessie the other night, but Tyler had returned really late, and she just couldn't find the heart to keep him from resting Lisa smiled when she heard her mother's voice. She really missed her more than she had thought. "I'm sorry. So much has been going on around here, and I haven't been thinking straight," Lisa apologized. She really didn't want to tell her mom precisely what was going on with her."That's okay, so why don't you fill me in on everything? What I'll like to know first is the deal with Mira's best friend," Mrs.Dalton said eagerly, making Lisa roll her eyes as she filled her mother in on all that happened between Victoria and Adrian."Adrien is quite evil. I feel so sorry for Mira, but I'm glad Tyler opened up to her, and she has him beside her," Mrs. Dalton said with a sigh.

Chapter: Chapter thirty fiveThe gold-embossed check lay on the sterile bedside table, a silent witness to a failed transaction. Dr. Vivian stared at it for a long, heavy moment before looking back at me with a gaze that remained infuriatingly steady."I told you, Mrs. Vane," Vivian said, her voice dropping into a register of cold finality. "My integrity isn't for sale. I’m going to file my report, and I’m going to include the fact that you attempted to bribe a medical official to cover up a fraudulent pregnancy. Good day."She turned on her heel, the white fabric of her lab coat snapping like a flag in a storm. She reached for the door handle, her movements swift and determined. She was seconds away from walking out of that room and ending my life as I knew it."And where do you think you are going?"The voice didn't come from me. It came from my mother. Beatrice, who had been sitting in the corner like a silent observer, moved with a speed that belied her age. She grabbed Vivian’s wrist, her fingers digging int

Chapter: Chapter thirty fourThe cold, clinical world of the hospital finally fell away as I stepped out into the crisp morning air. My knees felt like they were held together by glass shards and stubbornness, but I didn't care. The armored black SUV was already idling at the curb, its tinted windows hiding the only people who made this war worth fighting.The door flew open before the car even came to a complete stop."MOMMY!"A small, frantic blur of energy launched itself toward me. Leo didn't care about my expensive silk dress or the bodyguards standing at attention. He collided with my legs, his small arms wrapping around my waist with a strength that nearly knocked me over. I hissed as the impact jarred my bruised knees, but the pain was instantly washed away by the scent of his hair the familiar smell of vanilla and home.I sank down as far as my injuries would allow, pulling him into the crook of my neck. I pressed a long, lingering kiss to his forehead, closing my eyes and breathing him in. For a moment,

Chapter: Chapter thirty threeThe air in the room felt thick and suffocating, the hum of the medical monitors sounding like a rhythmic countdown. Behind the privacy curtain, the silence was absolute as Dr. Vivian moved the ultrasound transducer across Lydia’s abdomen for the third time. She had already performed a manual check, her fingers finding only the taut, firm muscles of a woman who spent thousands on Pilates, not the soft, shifting internal landscape of early pregnancy.Vivian frowned, her eyes fixed on the black and white monitor. The screen showed nothing but the clear, empty structures of Lydia’s anatomy. No gestational sac. No flickering heartbeat. No shadow of a six week old life."I’m going to try one more angle," Vivian said, her voice devoid of emotion.Lydia lay perfectly still, her eyes burning with a mixture of hatred and fear. She watched the doctor’s face, searching for a crack, a sign of greed, or even a flicker of hesitation. But Vivian was a wall of stone.Finally, the doctor clicked the ma

Chapter: Chapter thirty twoThe heavy thud against the door echoed like a heartbeat in the suddenly silent room. Silas froze, his hand still gripping the bottle of vintage red, his eyes darting toward the door with a flicker of genuine terror. "I thought you said Charlie just left!" Silas whispered, his voice cracking with a fear he couldn't quite mask. "Who the f**k is that? If it's one of Sarah's auditors..." Lydia felt a spike of adrenaline, but she didn't let it show. She adjusted her hospital gown, smoothing the sheets over her flat stomach. "Don't worry, Dad," she hissed, her voice low and commanding. "I’ve got everything under my control. Just hide the wine. Now!" Beatrice and Silas scrambled like guilty teenagers, shoving the glasses and the bottle into the luxury gift bag and sliding it under the bed. Beatrice smoothed her hair, composed her face into a mask of maternal concern, and sat on the edge of the bed. "Come in!" Lydia ordered, her voice shifting instantly back to the fragile, melodic tone of

Chapter: Chapter thirty one I sat on the edge of the hospital bed, the morning sun streaming through the reinforced glass of my suite. For the first time in years, the air didn't feel heavy with the scent of old ghosts. I reached down, gingerly touching the bandages on my knees. The pain was still there a sharp, insistent reminder of the ballroom floor but it no longer felt like a weight. It felt like fuel. The door opened softly, and Sarah walked in. She wasn't wearing her blazer anymore; she looked relaxed, a triumphant glint in her eyes that I hadn't seen since we were building our empire in the rainy streets of London. She was holding a tablet in one hand and two cups of real, high-end coffee in the other. "The doctor is safe," Sarah said, handing me a cup. A wide, satisfied smile spread across her face. "And his pregnant wife is even safer. My team has them at the upstate sanctuary. Silas’s men are currently being 'processed' by Tyler’s associates. They won't be bothering a

Chapter: Chapter thirtyLydia leaned back against the plush hospital pillows, the picture of a fragile, recovering saint. She watched Charlie pace the length of the room, his phone pressed to his ear for the tenth time in an hour. The man looked ragged, his obsession with her "pregnancy" and Sarah’s silence turning his eyes into hollow pits of paranoia."She still isn't answering, Lydia," Charlie hissed, snapping his phone shut. "Sarah hasn't returned a single call. And Dr. Miller... damn it, nobody can find him. His office says he took an emergency leave. I need him here to sign your discharge papers so I can get you home where you’re safe."Lydia reached out, her fingers grazing Charlie’s arm with a calculated gentleness. "Darling, you’re overworking yourself. Sarah is probably just busy with the board after the gala postponement. And the doctor? He’s likely exhausted from saving our son last night."Charlie leaned down, pressing a desperate, lingering kiss to her forehead. "I have to go to the office. I n
