Amber POVThe first official day of classes began with absolute chaos.Not bad chaos.Excited chaos.Hundreds of children filled the academy grounds.Parents stood in clusters.Teachers directed students.Staff members rushed from one building to another.And somehow, despite the crowd, everything seemed to work.Mrs. Sun stood near the stage looking happier than I had ever seen her.This wasn't just a school.It was her dream.Years of planning.Years of preparation.Years of waiting.Finally becoming real.The academy's central courtyard had been transformed into an outdoor auditorium.Families filled the seats.Children sat together in designated sections.Teachers occupied the front rows.Cameras flashed continuously.The opening ceremony was being streamed live across multiple countries.Naturally.I sat beside Jason.Alice and Alex stood backstage.Both looked entirely too confident."Should we be worried?"I asked.Jason looked toward the stage."Always."Fair.The announcer st
Amber POVThe flight back to Sum should have been peaceful.Should have.Instead, I spent most of it staring at my phone.Specifically at a video interview that had gone viral while we were still in the air.Victoria.Jason's former fiancée.I had almost forgotten she existed.Almost.Apparently the media hadn't.She sat in a tasteful living room.Perfect makeup.Perfect posture.Perfect expression.The image of concern.The image of grace.The image of a saint."I don't think it's my place to comment on Jason's private life."That sentence alone told me she was absolutely going to comment on Jason's private life.The interviewer nodded sympathetically.Victoria sighed."I will only say that yes, Jason has faced some difficulties concerning having children."My grip tightened around the phone.She continued."But I hope everyone gives him privacy while he faces this particular battle."I nearly laughed.Not because it was funny.Because it was infuriating.It was the perfect statement
Amber POVThe drive from the clinic should have been simple.It wasn't.Neither Jason nor I spoke as we walked through the private medical center.The folder containing our results rested inside my bag.It felt strangely heavy.Not because of the paper.Because of what it meant.A baby.The thought still didn't feel real.My mind kept circling the same words.Pregnant.Baby.Family.Our baby.Every time I thought about it, my brain seemed to freeze.Jason wasn't doing much better.He walked beside me in complete silence.One hand resting protectively against my back.The elevator doors opened.We stepped into the lobby.And immediately regretted it.Flashes exploded.Reporters.Photographers.Cameras.Apparently the media had multiplied while we were upstairs.Wonderful.Questions came from every direction."Mrs. Sun!""Mr. Sun!""Are the rumors true?""Did the tests confirm anything?""Are you pursuing fertility treatment?""Do you plan to adopt more children?""Are you separating?"
Amber POVIf someone had told me a year ago that I would one day be sitting inside a fertility clinic with Jason Sun, I would have laughed in their face.If they had told me that Jason would somehow be more embarrassed than I was?I would have laughed even harder.And yet there we were.The nurse smiled politely."Mr. Sun, we'll begin with a few standard tests."Jason nodded.The nurse looked toward me."Mrs. Sun, you can wait in the consultation room if you'd like.""No."The answer came instantly.Everyone looked at Jason.Including me.The nurse blinked."I'm sorry?"Jason cleared his throat."She stays."The nurse looked confused.I looked delighted.Jason looked mortified.My friend Michael looked like he was trying not to laugh."Jason."I raised an eyebrow."You know I've seen you bleeding, injured, half-conscious and covered in dirt."A pause."You draw the line at a fertility clinic?"His expression became even redder."Amber."That only made me laugh.Unfortunately for him,
Amber POVThe weeks following the inspection passed in a blur.For once, it wasn't because someone was trying to kill us.It was because Mrs. Sun had discovered what every powerful family in the world eventually learns.Children were terrifying.Particularly when given a project.The school was opening.Finally.And Mrs. Sun was in her element.I'd seen billion-dollar mergers create less chaos than this school.Teachers were arriving.Students were arriving.Parents were arriving.Dorm assignments were being finalized.Uniforms were being distributed.Schedules were being updated hourly.And somehow, Mrs. Sun loved every second of it.The school grounds buzzed with excitement.Children from dozens of influential families had already begun moving into the dormitories.Some came with entire entourages.Others arrived with nervous parents.A few arrived looking more terrified than their children.The boarding houses were ready.The classrooms were ready.The laboratories were ready.The
High above them, the balcony doors remained slightly open. Madam Sun stood in the shadows, one hand resting lightly against the carved stone railing. She had not meant to watch. And yet— There they were. Jason, bare-chested, having clearly abandoned formality the moment he stepped upstair
The door swung open.Oscar didn’t hesitate.He shoved forward immediately, trying to push past Jason.“Where is she?” he demanded.Jason didn’t move.Didn’t stumble.He absorbed the force like it was expected and blocked him with one arm.Oscar was furious.Not irritated.Furious.His eyes were wil
I stepped into the room but remained near the door. Jason removed his jacket, placing it carefully over the back of a chair. His movements were precise, as if control over small things kept the larger chaos at bay. “Jason,” I said quietly. He glanced at me. “Yes?” I hesitated for only a s
Footsteps approached from the corridor. Measured. Urgent. An older woman entered the living room. Elegant. Impeccable. Authority woven into every line of her posture. Ms. Sun. Her eyes immediately found Alison curled beside me on the couch. I watched the exact moment tension left her shoulder
