Chapter: CHAPTER 446ARIA’S POVLydia’s tears dry up as she slowly turns away, ready to leave the hospital room. Her steps are hesitant, burdened by the weight of everything she’s confessed, and by the knowledge that she might be walking out of Ethan’s life forever. There’s a palpable sense of finality in the way she carries herself, like someone resigned to their fate.But just as her hand reaches the door, Ethan calls out her name.“Lydia.”Everyone freezes for a moment. Lydia stops in her tracks, her back still turned, and I can see the subtle rise and fall of her shoulders as she takes in what just happened. The room is tense, filled with emotions that swirl and collide like waves in a storm, but the sound of Ethan’s voice cuts through it all.“Who told you to leave?”He tells Lydia that he wants to give their relationship another chance.The words hang in the air, a shockwave that ripples through the room. I glance at Ethan’s parents, who stiffen at the unexpected declaration, but they remain silent,

Chapter: CHAPTER 445ARIA’S POVAs soon as Ethan gazes at Lydia, her face crumples, tears welling up in her eyes, most likely because she knows she is about to lose him. The weight of everything she has done, both in the past and more recently, seems to crash down on her. Her vulnerability is unmistakable, and it’s clear that she fears this might be the end of whatever she and Ethan had built together in this strange in-between space where his memory had been absent.Ethan’s expression hardens as he processes the reality of the situation. He’s upset, and it's easy to see why. For weeks, months even, his parents had believed him to be lost, possibly dead, while Lydia kept him hidden from the people who loved him most. His emotions are a swirl of confusion, betrayal, and anger as he turns to Lydia, waiting for an explanation. The air between them grows thick with unspoken accusations, the kind that don’t need words to make their impact.Lydia’s sobs grow more frantic as she tries to defend herself, her voic

Chapter: CHAPTER 444ARIA’S POV“I’m not here to take Ethan from you… We’re just best friends. Nothing more.”“What?”“It was just a charade at your engagement.”All of a sudden, the nurse informs us that Ethan has woken up. My heart races as I see the reaction from everyone around me. Without wasting a second, we all rush into his room. Ethan’s eyes are open, and the first thing he does is call out to his parents.There’s a moment of palpable relief as his mother and father rush to his side, elation lighting up their faces. They hold him close, their hands trembling with emotion, and for the first time in a long while, they seem to have a piece of peace back in their lives.But what stands out most is that Ethan doesn’t even look at Lydia. Not once. Her presence, once central to his confusion, seems to fade into the background. She stands near the door, frozen, her eyes glassy with unshed tears as she watches the reunion. I don’t know whether it’s fear, regret, or sadness that’s written on her face, but

Chapter: CHAPTER 443ARIA’S POV“I’m not letting you take Ethan from me.”Lydia sits next to me, vulnerable in a way I’ve never seen before. She begins speaking softly, revealing her regrets and the reasons behind her actions. She admits that her past choices were driven by greed and a hunger for wealth, and that those choices led her to hurt Ethan and her ex-fiancé. She speaks of how, after fleeing to Arizona to escape the wreckage of her old life, she found Ethan on the shore, lost and helpless. In that moment, she says, she saw not the man she had wronged but someone she could help. Someone who needed her.It’s difficult to fully believe her, but something about her story rings true. The way she talks about Ethan and her past mistakes feels raw and genuine, not the calculated coldness I once associated with her. She explains that when Ethan didn’t remember anything—not his name, not his family, not even his old life—he still remembered her.“We’re meant to be together. Else, he wouldn’t have landed her

Chapter: CHAPTER 442ARIA’S POVWe’re all seated in the waiting area of the hospital, the sterile smell and bright lights only adding to the tension. Ethan’s parents, sitting across from me, glance in my direction every so often, their frowns deepening as if my mere presence is an offense.It’s not the first time I’ve seen that look on their faces, and it probably won’t be the last. But what baffles me is how they’ve chosen to forget about Lydia entirely. She’s sitting in the corner of the room, arms folded, her face pale and tight with worry. I can’t tell if she’s genuinely concerned for Ethan or if this is all just another one of her well-rehearsed acts.I lean back in my chair, trying to process it all. At least the Mitchells had realized that their son had lost his memory before I even had the chance to explain. It was painfully obvious—his reaction when he saw them, the way his body gave out from the shock.He fainted because it was too much for him. Yet, here they are, acting like I’m the villain in

Chapter: CHAPTER 441ARIA’S POVLydia seems to sense that she’s outnumbered. She glares at us for a moment, then steps aside, opening the door fully. We enter the house, the air thick with tension. I glance around, spotting the packed boxes in the corner. They were planning to leave, just as I suspected.I spot Ethan standing in the living room. He’s casually scrolling through his phone, but the second he looks up and sees me, there’s a flicker of recognition in his eyes. I hold my breath, waiting for some kind of reaction. But then, his parents step in behind me, and that’s when everything changes.Ethan freezes. His phone slips out of his hand and clatters onto the floor, but his gaze is locked on his parents. I can practically see the gears turning in his mind, as if something deep inside him is suddenly being unlocked. His face goes pale, and his eyes widen in shock.And then, just as quickly as it all hits him, Ethan stumbles back, clutching his head. He takes a few shaky steps before collapsing to t

Chapter: Chapter 234Knoxx’s Point of ViewMy head is pounding. The kind of pounding that drills through my skull like a jackhammer, merciless and loud even in silence. I groan as I roll onto my back, my eyes squinting against the sunlight that’s streaming through the blinds. My throat is dry, like sandpaper. My mouth tastes like regret and whiskey.Damn it. What the hell did I drink last night?I rub my temples, trying to piece things together. I remember the gala. I remember Caroline—her eyes, her voice, the way she looked at me like I was a stranger. I remember the bathroom. The confrontation. Her cold words still echo in my head.“It’s better if we’re just partners in business than husband and wife.”I sit up, fast. Too fast. My stomach twists and I squeeze my eyes shut, letting the nausea ride through me. I grip the edge of the bed with both hands, groun

The heavy silence of the ladies’ bathroom is broken only by the distant thump of the music outside the gala doors and my shallow breathing.“Why did you hide it from me?” Knoxx repeats, his voice firmer this time.I blink, unsure if I actually heard him right the first time. “What are you talking about?”His eyes lock onto mine. He takes a step forward.I instinctively step back, my heels clicking against the tiles. “Knoxx,” I warn, my voice trembling. “This is the women’s bathroom.”He doesn’t respond. His jaw clenches, and I catch a whiff of alcohol the closer he gets. It isn’t overpowering, but it’s enough.

Chapter: Chapter 232Caroline’s Point of ViewAdrian’s words catch me completely off guard.“If you want, I can manage Hill for you,” he says.I blink at him, juice halfway to my lips. My throat suddenly feels dry, and I set the glass down without taking a sip. Did he just say what I think he said?I study his face for a second, hoping I misunderstood. But no—he looks serious. Not irritated. Not cold. Just… earnest. Like he’s offering to pick up something I dropped on the ground, not a multibillion-dollar company with decades of family legacy behind it.My lips part but no words come out at first. It’s not like Adrian has never offered help before—he always has. Always supported me. When I started my business, when I struggled to balance it with being a mom, when I was too anxious to even call my dad for the first time in years… Adrian was

But I can feel my heart hammering beneath the sleek fabric of my dress.Adrian walks beside me in a sharp, tailored black suit, his hand resting lightly on the small of my back. We’ve only taken a few steps into the crowd when I feel it—his grip stiffens. Not forceful, just tense.I follow his gaze before he even says anything.Knoxx.He’s standing by the bar in a black tux, holding a glass of whiskey, casually speaking with a few men in similar dark suits.

Penelope is in the backroom handling shipment paperwork. Liam is at school. I should be enjoying the silence, but my head won’t stop spinning.The gala. Adrian. His invitation. His words still ring in my ears from this morning.“Come with me. As my partner.”I told him yes. I agreed.And yet, there’s this tight knot in my chest. Not fear. Not exactly. Just… pressure. Like the moment I said yes, everything started moving faster than I expected.I wipe a tiny fingerprint off the glass with a cloth, then step behind the counter to check my emails.Routine. Familiar.

The radio hums softly, but my mind isn’t listening. It’s stuck on last night.Adrian’s voice still lingers in my head—the cold edge in it, the way he didn’t even try to say goodnight properly. I can’t tell if it was just a bad day for him or if it was something bigger. Something shifting.And now my father wants me to move back in. Just like that. Like I could pack up my life and pretend I’m still his little girl sleeping in the guest wing.It’s too much. Too fast.

Chapter: Chapter 69- Why did He Get Me These?Dorian POVI turned around quickly and saw a nurse standing right behind me, holding a clipboard. I hadn’t even heard her approach.She gave me a polite but curious smile.“Um…” I cleared my throat, forcing a small smile onto my face. “Yeah. I was just about to,” I said quickly, pretending I wasn’t standing outside the door spying. I didn’t want her to get suspicious, so I gave a little nod, gently pushed open the door to Alora’s ward, and stepped inside like everything was fine.The moment I entered, the atmosphere changed.Alora was already lying on the bed again, covered neatly with a soft hospital blanket, her eyes closed like she had been sleeping this whole time. Her head was tilted slightly to the side. She looked calm, peaceful, like a fragile patient resting after some long, painful procedure.But I knew what I had seen.Just moments ago, she was wide awake. Holding her phone. Scrolling through something like she had no care in the world. Her face had been full of life.And

Make it something she can brag about.”My stepmother smiled tightly and added, “Yes. She deserves it after everything. Just don’t mess it up, Dorian. This needs to be the best day of her life.”I nodded, giving a small, polite smile. “I’ll make sure it’s everything you’ve dreamed of,” I said.Then I turned to them. “If you’ll excuse me for a moment,” I said softly. “I just need to step out. I have a few calls to make.”They didn’t question it. They were too busy talking about flower colors and which designer would do Alora’s dress.I walked out of the ward, calmly at first.The moment I stepped out of that suffocating room. I took a deep breath like I hadn’t breathed in days. I needed a second. Just a damn second to think.I kept walking. Quietly. Down the hall, past the nurses. Until I reached the fire exit.The heavy

My body was still sore from all the running around. I grabbed my phone and called Logan—one of my most trusted men.“Logan,” I said, keeping my voice low. “I need surveillance footage from the main house. The night Candice was taken away.”There was a pause. “Sir… that system is protected by high-level encryption. Your stepmother had top hackers install firewalls. I’ll need time.”“How much time?” I asked sharply.“I’ll try within 48 hours. Maybe sooner if I can get past the second layer.”“Do whatever it takes,” I muttered. “I don’t care how much it costs.”As I hung up, my fingers were shaking slightly. I didn’t like being played like a fool—and I hated feeling like I was ten steps behind.When I finally arrived at the hospital. I stopped the car and jumped out of it. But nothing could have prepared me for the scene I walked into.The ward was

I should have fought harder. I was… Confused. But that’s no excuse. I let you down.”She didn’t answer right away.“I know,” she finally said. “But… I also know you didn’t have much choice.”I swallowed hard and lowered my eyes.“I still feel like I betrayed you,” I muttered.“You did,” she said softly, but without anger. “But you came back. That’s what matters to me.”Her voice was calm, but I could feel the pain under it. I took her hand, held it tightly.“I promise,” I said slowly, “no one will come between us again. Not my stepmother. Not Alora. No one.”She hesitated. Then, she looked up at me with this confused little frown. “Why did you block me?”I blinked. “What?”“You blocked my number,” she said

There were dark circles under them, and her lips were dry and cracked.The nanny pulled me aside and whispered, “She barely eats. She barely sleeps. Some nights, she screams in her sleep like she’s seeing something horrible.”I just stood there, frozen.My heart ached. It ached so bad, I had to grip the wall beside me.“Why… why didn’t anyone tell me it got this bad?” I muttered under my breath, but I already knew the answer. It was my fault. All of it.I walked toward her bedroom door slowly, my legs feeling heavier with every step.I stood there for a second, unsure how to even begin.My hand rested on the wooden door.
