Lauren’s heart stopped, her breath catching. She rest her hand on her pregnant belly as Clara faced Helen, her eyes blazing with pain and her swollen belly a stark truth in Helen’s dim living room. Clara’s voice broke, her words sharp with hurt. “You thought you won, Lauren?” Her hand rested on her belly, her dark hair falling loose, as her eyes glintee with hatred. “I’m Tom’s wife, carrying his child, the one he betrayed!” Her voice cracked, her pain raw, her betrayal deep. Lauren’s gasp was loud, her voice trembling, her tears spilling. “His wife? Pregnant?” Her heart shattered, her eyes wide, her shock a storm, her love for Tom—her late husband—crumbling. “Tom never told me… how could he hide you?” Her words shook, her baby’s kick anchoring her, her love for Alex a faint light, her betrayal raw.“Of course he wouldn't tell you about me. He was probably desperate to get you into bed, he forgot he had a pregnant wife at home. Everything he's told you has been lies. I built him from

Lauren’s heart swelled as she stood by Alex’s mansion pool, the morning sun glinting off the turquoise water, her silk blouse soft against her pregnant frame.Alex, gripping two crutches, shuffled forward, his green eyes bright, his physiotherapist, Dr. Chen, guiding his steps. Lauren’s voice was warm, her smile wide. “You’re doing great, Alex!” Her eyes followed his careful movements.Alex’s chuckle was light, his voice teasing, his crutches clicking on the tiles. “Great? I’m wobbling like a newborn foal, Lauren!” His grin flashed, his sweat beading, his recovery a fragile triumph. “You didn’t have to come this early, you know.” His eyes met hers, his warmth grounding her, his humor a spark, the pool’s ripples catching the light.Lauren’s laughter bubbled, her voice playful, as she waved her hands in the air with excitement. “And miss your first session? No way!” she said. “I’m here to cheer you on, Alex, every step.” Her tone was firm, like a vow she knew she would take to her gra

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN
Lauren’s heart pounded as she paced her penthouse living room, the Singapore skyline dim beyond the glass walls, her hand clutching her phone, Priya’s words—Mr. Vaughn, murdered—echoing. Priya and Khalid sat on the velvet sofa, their faces tense, the coffee table strewn with papers. “Priya, Khalid, we have to figure this out,” Lauren said, her voice sharp,. “Vaughn’s death—it’s no suicide, no matter what the police say.”Priya’s sigh was heavy, as she narrowed her eyes. With a low voice, she said, “Lauren, it’s a lost cause.” Her hand gestured to the papers. The frustration on her face was raw, her dark hair falling across her brow. “The will’s probably destroyed by now. That suicide note on his desk? The police confirmed it.” she said, her tone wavering.Lauren’s breath caught. “Why would Vaughn kill himself?” Her eyes darted between them, her mind racing. “He was working with Helen, pushing her fake will. Who was he against that wanted him dead?” Khalid’s jaw tightened, his voice

Lauren’s voice trembled as she reached Alex’s bedroom, her dress damp from the hot tea, her skin stinging. “Alex, Melissa did that on purpose!” Her tears spilled, her heart racing. Lucky for her, the maid quickly retracted her hand, pouring most of the tea on the floor instead.Alex’s crutches clicked, his voice sharp. “I know, Lauren!” He eased onto the bed, his hands clenched, and his fury clear. “I should’ve thrown them out, not let them stay on the estate! I'm sorry.” His gaze softened, his hand reaching for hers. “You okay? The baby?”Lauren nodded, her voice shaky, her tears falling. “I’m fine, Alex, just… mad.” Her hand squeezed his. “She’s trying to hurt me, to hurt us.” Her eyes met his. Her strength began to weaken against his strong stare. It was like he could see right through her, and maybe that was what she liked about him most. She didn't have to tell him something was wrong before he understood.With a low voice, Alex cupped her face.“She won’t win, Lauren.” His thum

Thalia's POV EPILOGUE: SEVEN YEARS LATER The estate buzzed with life, Thanksgiving brunch was already underway, the air smelled of pumpkin spice and cinnamon, and the hum of conversation mingled with the occasional squeals of children running through the halls. Sunlight poured into the garden through the tall windows, casting warm and golden streaks over everything, making the moment feel as heavenly as it was. I stood on the patio, holding a steaming mug of tea, my eyes scanning the lively scene before me.Theo and Elise, now four, were chasing each other around the fountain, their giggles echoing. Theo, the notorious mischief-maker, grabbed a handful of fallen leaves and tossed them into the air, pretending it was snow."Elise, look it's snowing!" "That's not snow, Theo!" she scolded, her little hands on her hips, but she was smiling, her dimples making an appearance just like Alexander's when he was amused."They're at it again" Alexander said, stepping up beside me with a plate

Later that evening, Cassie told me to get dressed, saying we were going somewhere, after some deliberation, I chose a silky whitedress with a Queen Anne neckline, pairing it with a touch of red lipstick, the look was simple but striking, just the way I liked it. As I descended the stairs, the soft fabric of my dress trailing behind me, I caught sight of Alexander standing by the doorway. Alexander was waiting, looking devastatingly handsome in a crisp shirt and tailored pants, his hair was styled as usual, effortlessly tousled yet somehow flawless. But tonight, it wasn't just his looks, it was the way his eyes found mine,

Thalia's POV As much as I wanted to stay curled up in bed with Alexander all day, to enjoy the warmth of his arms and the peace he brought me, today wasn't a day for indulgence.Lilith, Tobias, and I had agreed to visit Mom and Dad at the cemetery this morning, it was something we had never done together and while it was never easy, it felt like the right thing to do. The drive to the cemetery was quiet, the kind of silence filled with unspoken words and shared memories. When we arrived, I pulled the folded picnic mat from the trunk and laid it out on the grass in front of their graves, the air was crisp but gentle, and the morning sun filtered through the trees, casting soft light over the headstones. Lilith knelt first, her movements slow and deliberate as she placed the basket of pastries Gladys had prepared for us on the mat. "Good morning Mom" she said, her voice soft but steady. Tobias and I echoed her, our voices overlapping in a quiet chorus.“Good morning Mom". We all chu

Thalia's POV Dinner had been a perfect end to an emotional day, laughter echoed through the house. But now, the night had deepened, and the warmth of family faded into a quieter kind of comfort. After we'd all gathered in the living room to watch an old childhood favorite, I found myself seeking something more than nostalgia. Something…Someone… Alexander. The house was silent by the time we made our way upstairs. I held his hand, guiding him toward my room, the soft creak of the floorboards beneath us the only sound. Despite the hour, exhaustion hadn't settled in yet. I wasn't tired, not in the way sleep could fix, at least. What I needed wasn't rest but him. We stepped into my room, and he paused just inside the doorway, his gaze sweeping across the space. His smile was soft but curious."Your room is lovely” he said, his voice warm and laced with amusement. I couldn't help the laugh that escaped me."Thanks. I picked the one closest to the library" He arched a brow at me, his

Thalia's POV Justin staggered back, denial painted across his face, his panic concrete."It can't be. You were both dead!" he yelled, his voice cracking under the weight of his terror as his eyes darted between Tobias and Lilith. Tobias stood unyielding, his expression void of anything but icy contempt.“Guess you're not as precise a murderer as you thought you were," he said, his voice chillingly even, his cold gaze drilling into Justin. Justin's wild eyes shifted to Eugene, his desperation taking over."You! You set us up!" Justin roared, lunging forward. Eugene didn't flinch. He pushed Justin back with a force that sent him stumbling."Lay another finger on me” Eugene warned, his voice sharp “and I'll personally make sure you wind up on death row”. Brandon stepped forward, his fury burning hotter than Justin's desperation.“He's not winding up anywhere” Brandon seethed "You're right, Brandon. You both are” Tobias's voice broke the tension, and just as the weight of his words set

Thalia's POV Justin and Brandon thought Eugene was hiding out here, in this dingy downtown house-turned-office. Eugene, put on his acting mask and pretended to be frantic, packing like he had every intention of disappearing off the grid. The moment Justin and Brandon stormed in, my breath hitched because there he was. Justin. A man who'd ruined countless lives with his schemes. Just seeing him sent a surge of anger through me. I felt Alexander's hand squeeze mine firmly beside me, grounding me, to my left, Lilith stood tall, her sharp eyes fixed on the screens. Kirill was beside her, silent and unreadable as always. Tobias was leaning casually against the wall behind us, his posture deceptively relaxed, though I could see the alertness in his gaze, Katherine was beside him. Across the room, the tech team sat huddled near their equipment, four of them with headphones on, monitoring the live feed, they were oblivious to the drama unfolding before us, focused entirely on ensuring th
