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 290Caroline's Point of ViewThe sterile white of the hospital room feels like a prison. I've been sitting in this uncomfortable plastic chair for six hours, watching machines monitor Knoxx's vital signs with electronic beeps that have become the soundtrack to my worst nightmare.The surgery lasted three hours. Three hours of pacing the waiting room, clutching Liam against my chest while he dozed fitfully, my mind replaying that terrible moment when the knife slid between Knoxx's ribs like it was cutting through butter."The blade missed the major organs," Dr. Patterson had explained afterward, his scrubs still stained with Knoxx's blood. "But there was significant internal bleeding. We've repaired the damage, but the next twenty-four hours are critical."Critical. Such a clinical word for the space between having everything and losing it all.Now, in the dim light of the recovery ro

Chapter: Chapter 289Caroline's Point of ViewThe press conference is Adrian's masterstroke—or at least, it's supposed to be.The St. Regis ballroom has been transformed into a media circus, packed with reporters, cameras, and enough lighting equipment to illuminate a small city. Adrian stands at the podium in his perfectly tailored suit, every inch the successful businessman addressing concerns about "recent family difficulties."I sit in the front row with Liam on my lap, both of us positioned exactly where Adrian wants us—visible to every camera, living proof of his supposed magnanimity in "taking care of his family during this difficult time.""Ladies and gentlemen," Adrian begins, his voice carrying that familiar note of practiced sincerity, "I've called this conference to address the malicious rumors and unfounded accusations that have been circulating about my family."Elsa stands

Chapter: Chapter 288Caroline's Point of ViewI find Mason sitting alone in the Plaza Hotel's tearoom, staring out the window at Central Park with the same haunted expression he wore last night. The leather diary sits closed on the table beside his untouched cup of Earl Grey."Miss Caroline," he says without looking up when I approach. "I wondered when you might come."I slide into the chair across from him, my hands trembling slightly. "Mason, I need your help. After what you told us last night about Margaret's murder... about Karen poisoning her... Adrian is going to destroy everything. He's already started—Knoxx's company is under attack, there have been 'accidents' at his building. I'm terrified about what he'll do to Liam."Mason finally meets my eyes, and what I see there isn't the gentle concern I expected. It's something deeper. Sadder."I'm afraid I've already done more damage than help, my dear.""What do you mean?"He opens the diary again, turning to a page near the back that he didn't read fr

Chapter: Chapter 287Adrian's Point of ViewThe package arrives at my penthouse at midnight, delivered by a courier who refuses to meet my eyes. No return address. No explanation. Just a manila envelope with my name written in elegant script.Inside is a photocopy of pages from a diary. My mother's handwriting, unmistakable after all these years. The ink is faded, the paper yellowed with age, but the words are crystal clear.[Karen came to visit again today. She brought those awful herbal teas...]I read the first few lines twice before the meaning hits me. Then I read them again, and again, my hands beginning to shake as the full scope of what I'm seeing becomes clear.My mother wasn't sick.She was murdered.By Karen Wayne. Knoxx's mother.The woman who sat at our dinner table. Who smiled at me with false kindness. Who brought tea and s

Chapter: Chapter 286Knoxx's Point of ViewThe knock at the door comes at eight-thirty in the evening, just as Caroline is finishing the dishes from our perfect day. Liam is already asleep, exhausted from pirate adventures and sugar crashes, and I'm in the living room setting up the new goldfish tank we somehow acquired."I'll get it," I call, but something stops me cold when I check the security monitor.Standing on the other side of the door, looking exactly as dignified as I remember despite the years that have passed, is Mason Hartwell. The Wayne family butler who helped raise Adrian and me. The man who disappeared without a word right after my father's funeral, saying he couldn't bear to work for either of us."Knoxx? Who is it?" Caroline calls from the kitchen.I can't answer immediately. Just stare at the screen like I'm seeing a ghost."Mason," I finally manage, my voice

Chapter: Chapter 285Caroline's Point of ViewI wake up to the smell of pancakes and the sound of laughter drifting from the kitchen.For a moment, I just lie there, eyes closed, letting the normalcy of it wash over me. No urgent phone calls. No legal documents. No crisis to manage before I've even had my first cup of coffee.Just the sound of my son giggling and Knoxx's deep voice saying something about "flipping disasters" and "architectural pancake failures."I pad to the kitchen in my pajamas and find them covered in flour. Literally covered. Liam has handprints of batter on his cheeks, and Knoxx has somehow managed to get pancake mix in his hair."What happened in here?" I ask, trying not to laugh."Daddy Knoxx tried to flip a pancake really high," Liam explains, bouncing on his toes. "But it stuck to the ceiling!"I look up. Sure enough, there's a perfe

Chapter: Chapter 140- Calling It A Quits.Candice’s POVI wasn’t surprised to see him. Somehow, Dorian always appeared out of nowhere, like a shadow that never left me alone. “So… is that going to be a yes?”I almost laughed. A humorless scoff escaped my throat instead.For a long moment, I just stood there staring at him, weighing my options. Finally, I shook my head. “No, Dorian. You don’t need to worry about me. I’ll be fine. I can call a taxi with my phone, and it’ll come almost immediately. Thank you for offering, but… no.”His car didn’t move.“Candice,” he called again, voice firmer this time. “You know I can’t leave you here alone. It’s late. Why not just get in the car instead of stressing yourself over a taxi?”I clenched my phone tighter in my hand. My lips parted, ready to tell him no again. But I stopped myself. Saying it outright would only give him the satisfaction of thinking I might change my mind.No, silence was better. If I ignored him, maybe he would finally drive away.So, I turned my head and looked t

Chapter: Chapter 139- The Choice Is Hers To MakeCandice’s POV“Since you’re so grateful to me for not abandoning you the way your beloved Dorian abandoned you… then isn’t it only fair that we make a deal?”His voice was smooth, but the smile on his face was sly. My heart skipped. I forced myself to clear my throat, pretending to look calm even though my palms had started sweating.“A deal?” I repeated, trying to sound casual. “What kind of deal are you talking about?”He leaned back in his chair. “It’s simple, Candice. I want you to leave London and move back to Europe. Once you return, you can start working in my company here. That’s all I’m asking.”“That’s all?” I blinked at him, my jaw almost dropping. He made it sound like it was an easy thing to do. He smiled wider. “This isn’t a big deal. This is just… a small thank you for saving you.”For a moment, I could only stare at him. Did he really think gratitude worked that way?“I’ll say this again,” I said carefully, trying to keep my voice steady. “I am grateful you saved me

Chapter: Chapter 138- The Unwanted GuestDorian’s POVThe moment I heard that voice, I froze.Slowly, I raised my head—and there she was.She was standing at the doorway of my hospital room, arms crossed, her expression unreadable. For a second, I thought I was imagining her. My chest tightened, my heart nearly leaping out of me.She came. She actually came.I couldn’t even explain how happy and delighted I was to see her. It was like seeing her here suddenly made the anger I had just few minutes ago disappeared. My first thought—ridiculous as it was—was that maybe, she was starting to care about me again.Before I could stop myself, I rushed toward her. My legs moved on their own, my heart pounding. The only thing on my mind was pulling her into my arms, holding her tight, and never letting go.But just as I reached out with my hand stretched toward her—I froze.Because I saw him.Standing smugly behind her, wearing that roguish grin that made my blood boil.I stopped in my tracks instantly. My joy, my excitement, all th

Chapter: Chapter 137- Having A Dinner With The Other BrotherCandice’s POVWe didn’t stop walking until we were completely out of Dorian’s sight.The moment we turned the corner and the hospital entrance was far behind us, I slowed down. My feet came to a full stop, and I put a good arm’s length of space between Lucien and me. I turned to face him with a frown.“Why did you say I came here with you when I clearly came alone?” I asked. Lucien’s eyes locked on mine. “Candice,” he said slowly, “aren’t you being a little ungrateful? “I crossed my arms. “That doesn’t answer my question.”He tilted his head, his lips quirking into that smug smile. “This is the first time we’ve seen each other in four years. Four long years. And instead of thanking me, you’re glaring at me like I’m your enemy. Is that really how you want to talk to your lifesaver?” “Aren’t you supposed to be kinder to the man who once risked himself for you and your kids? Maybe smile instead of scolding me? Or do you prefer giving warnings and angry looks to the person who helped

Chapter: Chapter 136- Pulled In Two Directions.Candice’s POVThe room went silent the moment my words left my mouth.Both Dorian and his assistant turned their heads toward me at the same time. Their eyes widened, as if I had just dropped down from the sky.“Candice… you came?” Dorian’s voice cracked slightly.His entire expression changed in an instant. A second ago, he had been furious, his jaw tight and his face dark with anger. But now—happiness flickered across his features. His lips curved, his eyes softened, and before I could process it, he rushed toward me.For a terrifying second, I thought he was really going to hug me.My heart stuttered in panic. I froze, every nerve in me screaming. But then, right before his arms could reach me, his gaze flicked over my shoulder. He stopped abruptly, his whole body stiffening.That warmth on his face vanished. “How come you’re here… with him?” Dorian asked sharply, his voice low but laced with suspicion. The happiness that had lit his features just seconds ago drained completely.

Chapter: Chapter 135- Paying Him A Visit IICandice’s POVI read the last message Jace sent as I let out a long, shaky breath. My body felt heavy, like all the air had been sucked out of me. I tried to relax, leaning back against the seat, but no matter how much I adjusted or closed my eyes, sleep refused to come. My mind was far too restless.I tugged at my seatbelt, making sure it was fastened tightly, then smoothed my clothes. Before the plane even started moving, I pulled out my phone as I scrolled through my messages, double-checking the location Dorian’s assistant had sent me was still there. I swallowed hard and locked my phone, shoving it back into my bag before I could change my mind.⸻The flight felt endless. I kept glancing out the window, then back at the seatbelt. When we finally landed, I didn’t waste a second. I grabbed my bag and pushed my way out of the airport. Outside, I hailed a taxi.“Please—take me to this hospital.” I shoved the address at him.He looked at it, then back at me. “Alright, ma’am. Hop
