When Elara Whitmore discovered her husband in bed with the one woman she was never supposed to compete with—his adopted sister—her world shattered in a single night. But betrayal wasn’t the worst part. They wanted her gone. Pregnant and alone, Elara overhears the sister’s plan to eliminate both her and the unborn child standing in the way of their twisted future. Instead of fighting back, she does something far more dangerous. She pretends to lose.

Chapter: Victor left

Serena After the unknown number called again that night, I left it unanswered and cleared the room to rest with my baby. Victor started coming in most mornings after that. He said it felt like he already had a grandson to replace the son he'd lost. He never said it sentimentally. He said it the way he said most things — plainly, as though he had thought about it already and simply reporting what he found. It wasn't every morning, but most. He'd knock once, and I'd open the door and find him in the hallway in his coat, looking marginally worse than the last time and not acknowledging it. I made tea. He took it gladly, though most of his attention went straight to my son. He'd hold the cup loosely in one hand and stare at the baby with the particular focus of a man trying to memorise something. His hands had started shaking more than before. He blamed it on the cold. I wasn't buying it — it had the look of something deeper, something that had been building quietly for longer than t

Chapter: The Birth

SerenaPain shot through my abdomen down to my legs. My lower body felt so horrible. My feet were pricking, and I couldn't resist the agonizing pain. It was at two in the morning, and it was nothing like I'd prepared for.I had prepared so well for the incoming restlessness and welcome of the baby, but this — was unexpected. Definitely not for a dawn. None of it mattered.What helped my breathing was my eyes on a mark on the wall, hands on the rail until my knuckle bones felt like they might come apart. My body was doing what it had apparently been planning to do regardless of what I thought about it.The midwife who took charge was Carla — a woman in her forties with the particular efficiency of someone who found none of this alarming and that, more than anything, was useful. She had arrived in under ten minutes, set her bag down without ceremony, and immediately taken over without asking if she should. A younger nurse assisted from the other side of the bed, quieter, focused on the

Chapter: The Price of Being Chosen

Serena Victor had insisted on going home. His apartment was large, quiet one and looked like he'd mostly stopped using. Someone had come to air the place out, left flowers on the sideboard, and he'd looked at them when I walked in and said nothing. Which told me everything. I got here a bit late. At ten. The will lay in the middle of the table. I brought my reading glasses and felt oddly self-conscious taking them out of my bag in front of him, which was ridiculous. I did it anyway. "You're late," he queried. "Seven minutes early, actually." I replied without looking into his eyes. He checked his watch, and looked back at me. Something moved at the corner of his mouth — not quite a smile, not dismissal either. "Have a seat." I sat as he poured tea for himself and me. I wrapped my hands around the mug. Looked at the document a flipped through each page with rapt attention. I'd read the summary thoroughly since the amendment letter came with the Zurich postmark. But re

Chapter: Victor's Last Good Days

Serena Victor had been a little off. The Victor I had known this short period was the giddy type. He had good days and bad days, and the good days were so good that they made the bad days harder to absorb. And I'm sure this is one of the odd ones. On the good day, he was sharp and demanding and entirely himself. On the bad day, he got very tired. His hands shook slightly when he reached for thing, and there was a quality to his stillness that was different from rest. ************** It was a hot afternoon when he asked about the son. Not for the first time. He had mentioned Elliot before. But he had never gone deeper into it. He seemed to talk less about him, and I wasn't going to push it. We were seated by the window. Not close enough, but okay for a conversation. "My son called," Victor voiced out of the blue. I looked up a bit taken aback. That was a first. "Elliot." He was looking out the window. "Last week, my solicitor told him about the amendments. He wasn't

RoseI rubbed my now visible belly, which had grown into the size of a double football.Satisfaction seeped into my heart thinking about the fact that everything was falling into places just like I wanted.I was twenty-two weeks now. Damien had become a bit distance, but I don't mind. As long as I see no threat now, I'll gladly embrace his moment of coldness till he comes back to me. To us.He came home at half seven and stood in the doorway of the kitchen with his jacket still on."Smells good," he said. His voice had flattened. Present but not quite."Sit down," I retorted. "Ten minutes."He sat down and looked at the table rather than at me, which I noted but said nothing about. I plated the food I brought over. I sat across from him, and we ate, and I let the quiet be quiet rather than filling it."How was the site meeting?" I asked."Fine.""Did they sort the contractor issue?""Mostly."I nodded. Reached for my water. Let my hand pass close to his on the table — not quite touch

Chapter: I won't let go

DamienI could hardly bring myself to sleep.Not even close to dozing. I went back to the apartment, picked up the documents, and left. It was around two in the morning, with the note lying flat in front of me. Everything that had gone on in the past weeks started forming connections.She had been alive for three weeks while I grieved her.My heart seemed to stop feeling. My lips went numb, and my body went weak in a way I couldn’t control. I had been broken on the day of the funeral. Completely, catastrophically small.I pressed my fists against the table and stole a glance at the now crumpled note again.“I loved you honestly.”The anger didn’t rise all at once. It built slowly, quietly. Every time I tried to direct it somewhere clean, it turned back on itself.Because she had known before, I admitted it to myself.She had heard everything. She had come back to that bedroom, laid beside me, and said nothing. Not out of weakness.I had underestimated her for three years. And I had ma

Chapter: The Legacy

POV: LilySunday morning sunlight filtered through the curtains of our bedroom, painting everything in shades of gold. I sat in the rocking chair by the window, baby Anna Grace nursing contentedly at my breast, her tiny fist curled against my skin.Eight years. It had been eight years since I woke from that coma with no memory, no identity, and no idea of the nightmare waiting for me. Eight years since Alex Morrison had smiled at me with those cold eyes and called me his wife. Eight years since the poisoning began.Now I was thirty-eight years old, nursing my third child, watching through the window as Emma and Matthew played tag in the garden below. Emma's dark curls bounced as she ran, her laughter floating up like music. Matthew chased after her, his Tony's arc reactor t-shirt flapping in the breeze.Anna yawned against me, milk-drunk and perfect. Three weeks old. Named after Tony's sister who'd died too young, and after Grace, the daughter Sarah Chen had lost. It felt right som
