Davina

Dinner passed in a blur.

I sat at the long table, absently poking my food with my fork, my appetite nowhere to be found. The spread was as elegant as always—gourmet dishes arranged meticulously, every detail reflecting the wealth and power of the Charez family. But none of it interested me.

If only I could have some tacos.

The thought came out of nowhere, strange and unfamiliar. I didn’t even like street food, yet the craving gnawed at me. My hand instinctively moved to my belly.

My baby.

The realization settled deep inside me, heavier than before. My mind drifted back to the first time I had been pregnant. Back then, Sebastian had been there. He had held me, cared for me, made me feel like I wasn’t alone. Now, he was nowhere—just a shadow lingering at the edges of my past.

Masking my thoughts, I forced myself to take a bite, chewing mechanically. I couldn’t afford to draw suspicion. Not now.

My father’s voice broke through my thoughts. “Join us in the sitting room after dinner

    Davina pov “You are what?!” I had no idea my eyes were shut and I questioned her again like I did not hear it the first time she said it. It was at that moment it dawned on me that, truly, the highest she did with men was commend them; she never talked about her love life with me. Was this the reason? Was she scared to tell me?“I'm sexually attached to women,” she spoke louder this time and I saw tears pricked at the corner of her eyes. “So you mean you're part of the LGBTQ+ community?” I asked with a hint of sarcasm in my tone. “Wow, just wow.” “Yeah, I expected this.” Her voice was barely above a whisper but firm and I watched as her face fell. “I knew you wouldn't be fine with it; that's why I tried to hide it for as long as possible.”If only, she knew I was not annoyed with her for being some sort of lesbian since I understood the LGBTQ+ spectrum. “What do you mean by that?” I played dumb but she was quick to notice. She just shook her head and tears rolled down her cheek.

    Davina pov.Sebastian's gaze moved from me to Alex who was already seated on the edge of the table with his hands crossed above his chest and his face directed towards the ground. “I’m here to meet–”“I never asked you anything,” I cut him short and I clicked my tongue before turning back to Alex. “Hey,” I called to him, and he raised his head with a furrowed eyebrow, but I overlooked it. “I’m heading towards Mr. Hernandez’s office so when I'm out, lock the door and take this visitor somewhere else other than my office,” I added with a scowl before walking out of the office without sparing Sebastian a glance. As I walked away from the office, I felt Sebastian's eyes bore into me. I was not the type to think about what was not, so I turned back only to see that I was correct, and that irritated me the more, making me walk out of the building. “Alexander Campbells, Sebastian Campbell.” I exhaled towards the sky and I used my hand to shield my eyes from the sun. “Bunch of bastards.”

    Davina pov.“You really wanted to pick up that call?” I retorted with a frown on my face as I watched Alex rub his temples with a look of disappointment that animated his face. “I did not tell you yesterday,” he replied softly as a heavy exhale escaped his nostrils. “I wanted to tell you about it, but you were nowhere to be found, and your number was not reachable.” “You wanted to tell me what?” I questioned with a furrowed eyebrow and rose to my feet, I could no longer hide the anger that was boiling in me. “Do you even think of telling me things before you do them?” Without giving him room to answer the first question, I threw another one at him and watched as he pushed his hair backward with his hand. “You don't understand, trust me,” he pressed his lips and our eyes locked. “After what happened yesterday at the rooftop, I knew–” He groaned as he picked up the phone from his pocket, and he swiped it to the right, and it connected. “Please give me a minute, I'll get back to yo

    Davina povI walked down the hallway, and, just like every other day, heads bowed, and as I always do, I waved to them with a smile on my face, but today was different. “Good morning ma, I–" “I can't attend to anything now, please," I raised my hand, and the receptionist trailed off. “About thirty to forty minutes from now, you can come back please." “Sure, I'll do that, ma." She replied as she pushed her eyeglass above her nosebridge. “Thank you." I continued walking to my office without waiting to hear any other thing she had to say. It's not like she has something to say anyway. What happened between Sebastian, Courtney, Natalie, and me yesterday was something that I never wanted. The fact that she could still call me a whore, the fact that she still had no respect for me. It felt like what I did to her yesterday was not enough, like there was something I needed to do to her to make her shiver when she sees me. But that was the least of my worries. What kept me up throughou

    Courtney pov“I think I made a mistake by walking into that place like that,” Courtney broke the silence that had taken over her and Natalie as they both sat in the taxi. “It was a rash move in which I shouldn't have made.” She gave a sigh that showed how disappointed she was. “You think you are wrong for walking into a conversation that your husband was involved in?” Natalie replied to her almost immediately and placed her head on the car seat. “If he's hiding something from you then he should just tell you right away.” “Same thing if he does not love you anymore; at least he should tell you rather than keeping you in the dark.” She muttered under her breath curtly. There was a moment of silence between the both of them and just as it began to stretch once more, the taxi driver spoke up. “We are here already.” With that, the both of them got out of the car, and Natalie handed him the money before they both made their way to the huge gate of the mansion. “Mom, about what you said

    Jane pov.I turned back to look at the huge building once more and a sigh escaped my lips. “Tomorrow,” I muttered under my breath, and with that, I started the journey to my house on my feet. It would definitely be tomorrow, as I don't think that secret should be stretched further than that. I took a turn to my left only for me to see that the street I was about to enter was a dark and narrow one. Damn, I'm still traumatized by what happened to me fourteen years ago. Well, no one seems to be here this time. Just as I started to walk down the alley, a bright red light started glowing, but it was not electric or something. In the process of trying to figure it out, I saw the faces of some men whose faces looked hard, tough…and even scary. “Don’t you think you've made a mistake by walking into this place?” One of their voices trembled in the dark alley, causing me to take four steps backward, but I only came in contact with another rock-hard body of a taller one. “I-I’m sorry, I'll

    Jane pov“What do you think they are talking about?" Davina's voice made me pause midway and after another glance at them, I dropped the glass in my hand. “There's only one way to find out," I muttered under my breath with my hand placed below my chin. “Do you want to know?" After a long stare at me, she nodded, unsure. “We both know I care less, so if you want to tell me, it's fine, and if you don't want to, it's still fine." Yeah, that was it, her reply was a testament that she cared little about what they were talking about. Sebastian and the so-called Alex to be precise. “Well, if you take about fifty steps forward, you should know," I replied to her before taking part of the content in the cup, but the look she gave me shrug. “I knew it was impossible for you to do that, so it was all a joke," I added with a smirk. “Whatever." And just like she always does, she waved her hand dismissively. For minutes, we both watched them talk, change of facial expressions and change of

    Sebastian povI paused with my hands clenched beside me; the footsteps that had stopped earlier continued again, but this time, it was slower and more cautious. “Mr Campbell." I heard the voice again, and the footsteps came to an abrupt stop again, and I turned back with the thought that it was Mr. Charez, but immediately I saw Alex, a sigh escaped my lips. Even though he was among the last people I wanted to see at the moment, I would choose him over Mr. Charez. “What's that?" He inquired as he turned to stand opposite me with his hands in his pockets. “What is what?" I requested in a slightly rude tone compared to the gentle tone he used in speaking to me and for a reason, I felt bad. “I mean that sigh," his lips broadened into a smile as he turned to look at me and as much as I wanted to dismiss him, I could not. “That's something every human does so I don't think I'm entitled to answer that question, if–"“You know I'm trying to help you right?" The man, whose height screams

    Sebastian pov.Sebastian stood with his hands in his pocket as he watched Alex and Davina walk out of his sight, both of them walking hand in hand. But what could he do? Nothing. “Don't tell me you watched that whore humiliate my daughter without doing anything!" Natalie rose to her feet as she yelled right at Sebastian's face but the latter heaved a sigh before transferring his hand to his hair. He ignored Natalie and bent down close to Courtney, looking her right in her eyes but all she could do was avoid his gaze from time to time. “What did I tell you?" He demanded venomously, gaze narrowed and jaw hardened.“Do you expect me to sit down on the bed with different thoughts of what's going on here?!" Courtney rose to her feet and answered Sebastian in a way he had always hated; question for question. “Are you asking me that right now?" He furrowed an eyebrow and took a step that commanded respect. “Why the fuck do you ignore the things I tell you to do and do what you like? Wh
