They stood together at the restaurant entrance when Maya caught the distinct tap-tap of heels approaching.

A woman strode up, flashing a polished smile.

Without warning, she gave Maya a sharp shove on the shoulder, dismissive—as if she were nothing more than a fly.

Maya stumbled, steadied herself, eyes blinking in disbelief.

Xander didn’t react. He let the woman wrap herself around him, his arms limp by his sides. “Camellia.”

“Xandy,” she purred, voice soft and sugary.

Maya wobbled slightly, then caught herself. Right. So this was her.

Camellia was stunning. Like, cover-of-a-magazine stunning. Camellia was a little taller than most. Her skin looked clear and smooth, natural without much makeup. Her figure was slim and sharp, and her dress fit perfectly—simple and tailored.

Her nails were neat and painted a dark color. She wore black heels that clicked quietly as she walked. In one hand, she held a silver clutch.

Xander placed a hand on her waist—more like anchoring himself than showin

    Xander stepped out of Maya’s apartment building, the evening air brushing his face. He ran a hand through his hair. That woman could argue fire into melting.He exhaled, heading for his parked car when a familiar voice called out from the side of the building.“Boss.”Xander turned sharply. “Jeremy?”The younger man stepped out from the shadows, dressed in a sleek charcoal coat and black turtleneck, tablet tucked under one arm, phone in the other.“What the hell are you doing here?” Xander asked, blinking at him. “Weren’t you supposed to still be in Celsius City?”“I just got back,” Jeremy replied, walking briskly toward him. “Wrapped up everything on that end. The project’s in its final stages. I only came back to grab a few things from HQ when I saw this—” He lifted the tablet and tapped it. “So I came straight to find you.”Xander raised a brow. “What’s ‘this’?”Jeremy handed the tablet over without a word. Xander looked down.His face went rigid.It was a photo. A very clear one.

    The sky was overcast with clouds. Maya pulled her coat tighter as she walked briskly through the dilapidated area of town. The only chemist in her vicinity was a Jay’s Pharmacy at the corner of a decaying business street. The signage was in terrible condition. The sign had peeling letters with the words “JAY’S PHARMACY” written across. She pushed open the creaky door. Behind the counter sat a slim man in a stained lab coat, flipping through a newspaper.He didn’t look up. “What do you need?”“Someone recommended me here,” Maya said, her voice barely above a whisper.He finally glanced up, really looking at her. “Like I said, what do you need?”“I don’t know if you can… help me.” She hesitated. “I need Miso… misoprostol.”That got his attention. The paper dropped.“Are you crazy?” he hissed, stepping back. “I don’t sell that kind of thing here. Get out.”“Please,” Maya said. “I—I don’t have time. I just need to take care of something.”He shook his head. “Not my business. Don’t car

    Positive. Pregnant. He tightened his fists around the folder. None of them moved for a moment as if time stood still. Dr. Jenkins stayed quiet, his eyes fixed on Xander as though he was expecting a storm to break out. He then coughed discreetly. “Mr. Blackwood… is there a problem—?” Xander’s jaw clenched. He did not look up. Instead, he relaxed his hold on the file inch by inch, and closed it with a slow motion. When he did speak his voice was low, deliberate. “How far gone is she?” Jenkins looked down at the chart. “Three weeks or so.” Three weeks. Xander let out a breath from his nose. “Any trouble?” he asked. Jenkins shrugged. “None. She’s pretty healthy. Blood pressure’s normal. Vitals are fine. No trouble signs yet.” “Good.” Xander said with a short nod. “I’ll take the file.” Xander stepped out of the hospital, still clutching the file. The sun was lower in the sky now, casting long shadows on the ground as he made his way towards where he parked his car. He got

    The automatic doors parted with a soft hiss, spilling faint light onto the lobby floor of Westgrove Hospital.As Xander stepped into the hospital, two nurses paused mid-conversation as he passed. One murmured something to the other. They both turned to watch him go.“Gosh, I hope he’s a patient. I’ll gladly be his attending nurse.”“Yeah,” the other one responded, “It’s not every day we get incredibly handsome patients.”“Gosh, he’s so dreamy,” the other nurse said, her head leaning on her hands.“What are you two gossiping about? Get back to your wards.” A senior nurse reprimanded them as they scurried to their wards.As Xander stopped at the reception desk the young woman behind it jolted upright like she’d been caught dozing.“Can I help y—”“Maya Thompson,” Xander cut in. “Her room number.”She blinked. “Uh…”Her fingers flew quickly across the keyboard.“She’s not showing up on the inpatient list,” the nurse said, brows furrowed. “Was she admitted today?”“Today. Around noon. C

    The phone buzzed once more before Xander could stash it in his pocket.He gazed at a screen.Mother.He sighed before he could stop himself. He thought about letting the phone ring, but it would only make things worse to avoid her so he picked up the phone.“Mother""You're hard to reach these days," Katrine said, her voice smooth. "Where are you?"“Westgrove Hospital.”Pause.“Do you feel unwell?”“No,” he answered. “It's work-related.”“Work follows you everywhere, it seems—even to a hospital,” she breathed. “Come home let's have dinner. James is roasting lamb.”"I'm not really—"“Xander.” Her voice softened slightly. “You need a moment to breathe. Come home.”He stopped. “Alright,” he agreed. “I will arrive within an hour.”“Good,” she replied. “It's been too long since we sat at the table as a family.”-----The Blackwood estate hadn't changed much. It was mostly the same. There were high white columns, shiny marble steps, and large glass windows. Big gold fixtures hung on walls,

    The car ride back was thick with tension. Not because of the strange lunch — no, this felt more like Maya had walked into a private family mess she hadn’t been invited to. She kept her eyes on the window, pretending to care about the blur of city life outside. People hustling across the street, buses picking people at every stop, buildings gleaming in the sun. Her finger tapped her phone screen. Still no notifications. Not that she expected any. Eventually, she couldn’t help but glance at him. Xander looked the same. Sharp jaw, sleeves casually rolled, expression unreadable — like nothing had happened some few moments ago. “So…” Maya began, her voice feigning a lightness, “Is that how you treat all your girlfriends?” He didn’t turn his head. “She’s not my girlfriend.” “Right,” Maya said, drawing the word slowly. “Super convincing.” “She’s who my parents think I should be with,” he replied, like he was talking about work reports. “They approve of her.” She
