Don’t Beg for Love 142. A Remarkable Woman
The whispers and idle chatter died down almost instantly the moment Cassandra’s voice rang out clear through the speakers.Every head on that terrace turned toward the small stage set up near the fountain, where she stood in a white mermaid-tail gown that clung delicately to her frame, making her look smaller somehow, more fragile, exactly the kind of docile, breakable image that pulled sympathy out of a crowd without them even realizing they’d been moved.“I know everyone’s curious right now,” she said softly, a shy little smile tugging at her lips, “so let me explain.”Behind her on the stage, my parents sat with matching expressions of pure pride, and even Grandpa, a man who rarely allowed his face to do anything but frown, wore something close to a genuine smile.“Wait, what is she about to tell us?” someone near me whispered.“I have no idea, but look at her face. Something big is coming.”Cassandra’s gaze drifted across the crowd until it landed directly on me. “I want to tell y
Don’t Beg for Love 141. The Party I
I couldn’t bring myself to care why Aiden had come to see Cassandra. Whatever business he had with her wasn’t a thread I had any interest in pulling.The moment Cassandra left the room, trailing after the servant with a bright, eager little skip in her step, I finally let myself breathe properly again. It was like the air itself had been thinner while she was in the room.Xander lingered behind, though, shifting his weight like he had something on his mind.“Hey, before I forget.” He pulled a small velvet box from his jacket pocket and held it out. “This is for you. For tonight.”I opened it slowly, and the second the lid clicked back, light caught on a delicate diamond necklace nestled inside, the stones cut into a teardrop pattern that shimmered every shade of white and pale blue depending on how it tilted under the lamp. A cluster of smaller diamonds trailed down from the center pendant like dewdrops frozen mid-fall.It had to have cost a small fortune.“Xander, this is too much.”
Don’t Beg for Love 140. Her Love for Her
At the Sterling Mansion, The Next DayBy the time I arrived, the whole estate had already transformed into something unrecognizable.From my bedroom window upstairs, I watched the chaos unfold across the grounds below. Marcus, the head butler, moved briskly across the lawn barking instructions at a line of servers carrying crates of imported champagne toward the west terrace. Delphine, one of the housemaids who’d worked for my parents since before I was born, hurried past with an armful of white orchids destined for the centerpieces, nearly colliding with two decorators wrestling a string of fairy lights up a ladder propped against the garden pergola.Outside, an entire team from some high-end event company had taken over the back gardens completely. They strung delicate strands of gold lighting through the old oak trees lining the fountain, unrolled a pale ivory carpet across the terrace steps, and arranged round tables draped in silk cloth beneath a massive white tent that hadn’t ex
Don’t Beg for Love 139. The Winner
The family had already left?I blinked, still trying to catch up with everything happening around me, when Andrew’s voice pulled me back to the present.“Who is Amelia?”Right. The nurse must have said that before slipping back out, and I hadn’t even noticed her leave.I didn’t know how to explain, not in any way that made sense out loud, that Cassandra had somehow turned into my long-lost little sister overnight. So I just shook my head and kept it simple. “Just a family member.”He studied me for a second like he wanted to ask more, but I spoke first, before he could. “Have you seen my phone?”He reached over to the bedside locker, pulled my bag out, and dug through it until he found the phone, handing it over without comment.The second the screen lit up, my stomach dropped. Hundreds of missed calls stacked up in the notification bar, most of them from Linda, the rest from Tania, calls piled on top of calls like both of them had been trying every few minutes since yesterday.Then i
Don’t Beg for Love 138. Protect Her
Cassandra caught me before I could slip completely off the bed, her arms closing around me fast. “Big sis, are you okay?”I didn’t think before I acted. My hands shot out on instinct and shoved her away, and she stumbled backward, losing her footing entirely and hitting the floor with a sharp, pained cry.The room erupted into motion instantly.Xander dropped to his knees beside her first, hands hovering like he didn’t know where it was safe to touch. “Amy! Are you hurt anywhere?”My mother rushed forward with both hands pressed to her mouth, eyes wide with panic. My father was right behind her, already reaching down to lift Cassandra carefully off the floor. Even Grandpa crossed the room faster than I’d ever seen him move, his usual composure cracking into something close to alarm.“Careful, careful,” my father murmured, cradling her against his chest like she might shatter.Cassandra gave a small, weak smile despite the wince still tightening her face. “I’m fine, Dad. Really.” Her g
Don’t Beg for Love 137. Amy
Grandpa’s words hung in the room like something physical, thick enough to press against my chest. Nobody moved. Nobody breathed too loudly. Even the machines beside my bed seemed to have gone quieter, as if the whole room understood that something enormous had just cracked open.Xander’s lips parted, but nothing came out. I couldn’t manage anything either, my mind still scrambling to catch up with words I didn’t want to be true.My mother stepped forward first, guiding Cassandra gently by the arm, tears already spilling freely down her cheeks. “Isn’t it a miracle?” Her voice trembled with something raw, something I hadn’t heard from her in years. “Our Amy, alive, after all this time. Heaven really does work in mysterious ways. When you two went missing twenty years ago, and then we found Annalise again ten years later, I never once let myself believe we’d ever find Amy too. Look what a blessing we’ve been given.”As she spoke, Cassandra’s eyes locked onto mine, fear and disbelief swim

The next day, I discharged myself from the hospital.Standing across the bustling street outside the hospital’s skyscraper, my eyes squinted at the burning sun.For thirty minutes, not a single taxi stopped.Then, suddenly, a convoy of black luxury cars swept onto the street, instantly drawing ever

“We are sorry, Miss. We tried our best, but the fetus was gone. We had to evacuate it to prevent damage to your womb.”The word “it” echoed through my mind, cutting through my last strand of hope.Yet, the doctor’s words, along with the beeping of the heart’s monitor and every noise inside the hosp
