Chapter 23: The Hospital Secrets
Last Updated:
2026-01-15 09:45:00The afternoon sun streamed through the large windows of the hospital’s private wing, casting warm squares of light across the polished floor. Taylor Reeds sat in a chair beside Himy Yoon Chen’s bed, her hands folded in her lap as she peeled an orange with practiced care—her fingers moving in steady, familiar circles, just as she’d done for Kayla and Rachel when they were little girls.
“Your oranges are always so much sweeter than the ones they serve here,” Himy said, watching her with a soft smile. She was propped up on pillows, a soft blue blanket draped over her legs, her dark hair pulled back in a neat bun. Despite the faint purple bruise peeking out from under her collar—one she’d claimed was from a fall—her eyes held a warmth that had drawn Taylor to her the moment they’d been placed in adjacent rooms two weeks ago.“Years of practice,” Taylor laughed, splitting the orange into perfect segments and placing them on a small plate. “My mother taught me that the t

The office building’s lobby was quiet for once—most employees were in a midday meeting, leaving only a few receptionists at the front desk. Kayla was walking toward the entrance to grab lunch when three men stepped out of the elevator, blocking her path. Their faces were hard, their suits cheap and ill-fitting, and she recognized the leader immediately: the same man who’d trashed her home weeks ago.“Kayla Reeds,” he said, his voice low and gravelly. “We’ve been looking for you.”Kayla took a step back, her hand moving instinctively to her phone in her pocket. “I told you—I’m working on getting the money. Give me more time.”The man laughed, a sound like grinding stone. “Time’s up. We gave you thirty days to pay what your brother-in-law owes. Now we want double—interest, plus what we spent finding you here.”“I don’t have that kind of money,” Kayla said, her voice steady despite the fear coiling in her stomach. “I’m doing everything I can—”

The morning after the gala felt like walking through fog. Kayla moved through her routine on autopilot—making coffee, checking her phone for messages she didn’t want to read, staring at the ceiling as she tried to erase the image of Mrs. Penelope standing in that dark room, phone in hand. By the time she reached the office, her hands were shaking so badly she could barely unlock her desk drawer.She’d barely sat down when Mrs. Penelope appeared at her cubicle, her small frame wrapped in a crisp gray suit, her expression unreadable. “Ms. Reeds,” she said quietly. “Could we talk? Somewhere private.”Kayla’s stomach dropped. She nodded, pushing back her chair and following Mrs. Penelope down the hallway to an empty conference room. Once the door was closed, Mrs. Penelope pulled out her phone and set it on the table between them. The video thumbnail was clear: Liam’s hand in Kayla’s hair, their faces inches apart, the moonlight casting shadows across their skin.

The gala was still roaring behind them—music swelling, laughter echoing, cameras flashing as guests fawned over Qing Lin and Jordan’s “magical moment.” But in the secluded corridor leading to the hotel’s old storage rooms, the world fell silent. The only sounds were their footsteps on the worn carpet and the distant thrum of the ballroom orchestra.Liam’s hand was wrapped around Kayla’s wrist—not tight enough to hurt, but firm enough that she couldn’t pull away even if she’d wanted to. He’d followed her out of the ballroom, pushing past guests and ignoring his father’s calls for him to return. His mind was racing, filled with images of her standing alone in the corner, of Qing Lin in Jordan’s arms, of the way Kayla had looked at him when he’d danced with his fiancée—like her heart was breaking piece by piece.“Liam, let go,” Kayla said, her voice barely above a whisper. “We can’t be seen like this.”He didn’t respond, just kept walking until he reache

The grand ballroom of the Continental Hotel gleamed like a jewel box under thousands of crystal lights. White roses cascaded from every surface, their sweet scent mixing with the perfume of The City’s elite, who moved across the polished dance floor in a sea of silk, velvet, and diamonds. This was Kang Jin Chen’s annual charity gala—though everyone knew it was less about giving back and more about displaying power, forging alliances, and reminding everyone in attendance exactly who controlled Bæbë Phi Universe.Kayla stood in the corner near the stage, her hands folded neatly in front of her as she held a cream-colored cashmere shawl belonging to Qing Lin Young. She’d been told to dress “appropriately but unobtrusively”—a dark navy dress that was nice enough not to embarrass the company, but plain enough to ensure she didn’t draw attention. Liam had tried to argue against her being assigned to Qing Lin, but Kang Jin had insisted.“Every executive needs a perso

The lobby of Bæbë Phi Universe was buzzing with morning energy—employees hurrying to their desks with coffee cups in hand, clients being escorted to conference rooms, the soft hum of conversation mixing with the click of heels on marble floors. Kayla was making her way toward the elevators, a stack of folders pressed to her chest, when she heard a voice she’d hoped never to hear again.“Kayla! Don’t you walk away from me!”She froze mid-step, her heart sinking. Tyler Morrison stood by the front doors, dressed in a rumpled suit that looked like he’d slept in it, his face flushed with anger. He’d cut his hair shorter than she remembered, but his eyes—hard, entitled, and full of the same arrogance that had ended their relationship five years ago—were exactly the same.She turned slowly, setting her folders down on a nearby table. “Tyler. What are you doing here?”He strode across the lobby, ignoring the stares of everyone around him. “You know exactl
Dynamic kiss “love has no limit” CHAPTER 24: THE PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF
The sun was setting over Lagos, painting the sky in shades of burnt orange and deep purple that reflected off the glass facade of the Bæbë Phi Universe building. Kayla stood near the back entrance of the parking lot, her shoulders slumped with exhaustion. She’d spent the last three hours going over contracts for the Maison Laurent partnership, and her eyes were burning from staring at screens all day. Liam had found her there, leaning against the hood of his sleek black sedan, and had insisted on walking her to her car.“You shouldn’t work this late,” he said, his voice softer than she’d heard it in days. “Even the best soldiers need to rest.”Kayla laughed, but it came out as more of a sigh. “Tell that to your father. He wants the final contracts on his desk by morning, and you know how he is when things aren’t done exactly when he says.”Liam reached out, his fingers brushing a strand of hair away from her face. The touch was gentle, intentional—nothing
