Her heels clicked softly against the polished floor as she crossed the lobby of Hemsworth General, her white coat folded neatly over her arm. The name badge clipped to her brown blazer caught the light when she stopped at the security desk.Dr. Harper Blackwell.Her fingers brushed the badge unconsciously as she stepped into the elevator, the doors sliding shut with a muted thud."Alright, Dad. See you later," she said, and the line went dead.Harper released a sigh, staring at the wall of the elevator, her thoughts clouding her mind.“Are we moving houses because Daddy doesn't love us anymore?”Summer's small voice echoed in her head.Harper had frozen then.“We're just changing places, sweetheart,” she'd finally said, stroking Summer's hair. "Sometimes adults need new beginnings."Summer had nodded, clearly unconvinced. Harper d
"There she is. My princess!" Simon Hemsworth rose to his feet the moment he saw Harper. With hair streaked silver, piercing grey eyes, and an intimidating build that made most people uneasy, no one would have guessed how warm he could be. "It's okay to cry," he told her, and she let out a sob as he hugged her. They had met six years ago, at the hospital where she worked. She had saved his life that night. In the process, the truth had come out—she was his daughter, switched at birth with the maid's child. "I'm sorry," she croaked. He'd warned her. Over and over. That Malakai would make her unhappy. That love without respect would destroy her. He had even asked her to leave the marriage, promising to give her everything she needed in return. She had refused. And because of that choice, Harper had never truly lived as the heiress of the Hemsworth Group. She had chosen love instead. "So, what are you going to do after the divorce is finalized?" Simon asked his daughter a while l
"Are you sure about this, Harp?" Anne asked her best friend through the phone. She had known Harper since childhood and had stood by her through everything. The hit-and-run that took her adopted parents. The depression that followed. The justice that never came because the driver was protected by wealth."Yes, I'm sure. I want a divorce. On my own terms," Harper replied firmly. "I want it done as soon as possible.""Fine. I will prepare everything right away. Take care, Harp."The line went dead, and Harper exhaled, feeling like a heavy weight had just been lifted off her shoulders.She stood in the corner of the garden where the memorial was being held, watching 'Maddie' and Malakai. They seemed to be deeply engrossed in a conversation. She no longer cared about what they were talking about. Her days as the wife of Malakai Blackwell were numbered. She had done enough.Straightening her shoulders, she turned and started to walk away, her head held high. Her phone vibrated, and
“Mummy, does Daddy hate us?" Malakai was just stepping out of his room when those words stopped him cold. A hollow pit gnawed through his stomach. He'd never wanted to be such a terrible father."No, honey. Don't say that," Harper said, stroking Summer's hair."Then why didn't Daddy come home last night? I even made him presents," Summer asked, her voice laced with both curiosity and a deep sadness. It made Harper's heart ache."You can still give it to him today when we get back, baby," she said, pulling in her five-year-old for a hug."Summer." They both looked up at the sound of the deep, authoritative voice that had just spoken. Malakai stood by the doorway of their daughter's room, dressed in a crisp black suit. Summer shrank closer to her mother, and he balled his hands into fists, his chest tightening.What have I done? He thought, feeling sick to his stomach."Can you come over here for a second, sweetheart?" he said, and Summer exchanged bewildered glances with her mothe
