“King?.. please can you use your phone to call Maddie. She’s not picking!” Laura turned to her fiancé to help her out.

“Laura, you need to calm down. We’ll be there very soon. I’ll try calling Maddie but I also need you to calm down. Okay? Baby? Please look at me.” Kings voiced out softly, placing his hands on hers for support.

She nodded frantically, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to pour down. Maddie had sounded so worried.

“Okay..” She croaked.

He gave her a quick kiss on her lips before opening his phone to dial Maddies number.

“Any luck?” Laura asked almost inaudibly.

The number had not even rang. Maddie’s phone was unavailable, but King knew if he told Laura the entire truth she might freak out.

“It kept ringing babe, she’s not picking. Don’t worry we’ll meet her there.” He assured. Pulling her closer to him. She tried to protest and shift back to her seat but he held her tight to him.

“I’m sorry about everything. I’m so sorry. Can you just stop avoiding me? Ple

    Maddie kept staring at the woman like she recognized her from somewhere. Laura who had been crying non stop had suddenly paused her crying session. They were both confused as to what was going on.Who the hell was this woman.“Uhmm.. please come in ma’am, you can have your seat.” King offered politely.Maddie still stared at her blankly as though the woman was in the wrong place. At the wrong time.Wait a minute.Did she just call Maddie by her full name?!! There are just a few people who knew her as Madelyn!Maddie kept eyes her refusing to say anything.“Hello, who did you say you were again?” Laura shifted in her chair turning her attention to the woman who sat opposite her.“I’m Karen. Nice to finally meet you girls. Dave won’t stop fawning over you too. I urrrr, I just flew in from Carlifonia. Dr. Manuel was the one to inform me of the problem at hand.” She explained with a warm smile.The name Karen didn’t ring a bell in Maddie’s head. She probably was just being paranoid.“Oh?.

    No way!Maddie shifted her body and sat at the top of the seat, eye wide with hardened expression as she exclaimed almost immediately “Martha? As in my mum?. No…” huhnnn? Lu? Did you hear that?” “Madds… please just sit.” Karen tried to plead.“Don’t fucking call me that! Which Martha! Is it my mum?” Maddie yelled almost in tears.“Yes. Yes Maddie your mum. But I promise! I wasn’t the reason she left. Dave wasn’t cheating on me with her. We had nothing! Absolutely nothing together. Martha was so insecure and kept projecting her fears on Dave. She was the one cheating! Your dad never cheated on her!! I promise.” Karen’s voice broke.Maddie began to laugh, wiping the tears on her face. All her life she had thought this woman caused her parents seperation! This woman led to her mother abandoning her! “You’re a liar! And I swear you’re a manipulating bitch!” Maddie screamed. Forgetting she was still at the hospital.“Maddie! Bring your voice down! Allow her explain. Please.” Laura tried

    “You look so beautiful my baby.” King stared at her, watching as she pulled off her clothings.Immediately they got back home, she decided to go freshen up before anything else. He followed her into the room and just laid on the bed, his hands over his head as he watched her.Laura loved when he watched her. At first he used to do it when he thought she wasn’t noticing, but now he didn’t care.“Thank you.” Blush creeped up her face.She had tried staying angry at him but couldn’t keep it for long. What was there to be angry at? Stephanie was just a mistake. “Do you want to get in the shower with me?” She smiled, turning to look at him as she grabbed her towel.Although he should have jumped at the offer but his mind wasn’t sure if their relationship was now okay.He missed her so much, he wanted her full attention back on him and not the tensed wall around them.“No, I’ll just be here ma’am. I don’t want to disturb your little concert and girl time with my princess.” He teased lightl

    3:50pm at the Baby store shopping.The couples had eventually made it out of the house in one piece. This was the second mall they were at. King thought he was prepared for this. But ohlboy! Not as mentally prepared.Laura was a totally different human when it came to shopping.“Oh, King! Look! "Tiny Human" Laura's eyes widened as she grabbed another adorable onesie.Kingston chuckled, shaking his head. “Baby, we already have over 20 onesies.” He deadpanned.Laura pouted. “But this one is too cute! Come on! It’s never too many.” She whined playfully.Kingston smiled. He had no other choice than to indulge her.“You're going to need a separate house for all these baby clothes.” He teasingly stared.“That wouldn’t be a bad idea.” Laura winked, grinning mischievously.“You can’t be serious..” In the next moment, Laura's eyes sparkled as she spotted the baby furniture section.“King!! Kingggf. Oh! The nursery!” Laura was squealing so much, people stared at them smiling. Her happiness was

    “I love you Laura.” King confessed, for the umpteenth time that day.“Hmmm..” Laura smiled with her cheeks all out as she leaned forward and kissed him.It had been over a month and Laura was still yet to say those words to King. He wanted to hear her say them. But not just that, he wanted to know that she felt them as well. Laura always saw the look on his face when she didn’t reply back with an I love you. She noticed his eyes dimming a bit. And the side of his lips turning downward. If only she could just bring herself to expressing her feelings for him. It was as if there was something holding her throat from opening.Fear!“But I think you love this baby more than me already.” Laura whined against their kiss, when King but her lower lip a small moan escaped her mouth. She pulled away immediately. Not wanting to feel embarrassed in the presence of Andre.“You’re jealous of your own baby girl?” King chuckled as he pulled her onto his lap.“She’s taking all your time and attention

    The room went quiet for a couple of minutes.Everyone stated at her as if waiting for her to explain further.“Mum?…” Anne spoke quietly, her long lashes falling to cover her eyes as her brows twisted.“Did you just mention fiancé? You are getting married?” Anne asked further. Her voice not depicting any emotions. But it was clear that she was perplexed.Lana took her seat, grabbing Oliver’s hands and placing a kiss on it smiling before she offered to speak.“Oh my!! Congrats mum!” Anne squealed as she stood up to go embrace her mum.Lana already had tears in her eyes as she spoke “We met over a year ago in one of my gallery exhibitions. Funny thing?

    “Hell no, there is no way in hell I’m canceling the party. It will still hold and that’s final.”King’s voice was as sharp and firm like a judge’s hammer slamming down in a courtroom. It didn't matter to him if he was sitting in a damned hospital bed with a fresh IV in his arm. It didn't matter to him if his body was still bruised, stitched up, and technically supposed to be on bed rest. None of that mattered to Kingston.Because whenever he had made up his mind, not even divine intervention could change it.Laura’s nails dug into her palms. “Are you serious right now?” Her voice trembled—not with fear, but with pure frustration at his stubbornness. “King, you were just in a goddamn helicopter crash! Your body isn’t made of steel, no matter how much you act like it is.”Brian exhaled loudly, running a hand down his face. “Let’s not forget the other reason we’re saying this, man. You were literally giving a second chance to live, but that's not all. It’s not just about your health. You

    Hospitals were supposed to be quiet and somber places for the sick ones—full of beeping machines, sterile walls, and nurses shushing loud visitors. But apparently, nobody told Brian and Tay that. Because the moment they walked in, the room went from the crime thriller atmosphere to circus act in literally 0.2 seconds after they got in.Brian who was always the loudest in the group, barged in first, throwing his arms up dramatically. “My guy! You survived a helicopter crash and didn’t even break a leg? Now that’s just selfish.”Tay followed in, shaking his head. “Swear down, bro. You have to start sharing some of that plot armor with the rest of us.”King who was still propped up in bed, his back raised higher than the rest of his body, smirked. “What can I say? I guess I'm God’s favorite.”Laura, who had just managed to stop panicking over the whole somebody trying to kill my man situation, shot them a glare. “Can y’all not?”But Brian was already in motion, snatching the pillow from

    King was built differently. And that was on period.It was a helicopter crash yet this man walked out of it looking like a battle-worn Greek god instead of someone who just had a near-death experience. Sure, his face was scratched up, his arm was dislocated, and the white bandage on his chest made him look like he belonged in a war movie, but was he lying on a hospital bed in misery? Nope. He was sitting upright, cracking jokes like he hadn’t just scared the life out of Laura.Laura, on the other hand, was a living mess. Hot tears streamed down her face like a flowing river, her perfectly done curls now falling apart as she held onto King’s hand like he would disappear if she let go. “You’re an idiot,” she sniffled, squeezing his fingers tighter.King, ever her annoying man, smirked. “I mean… yeah, but like, a hot one?” His voice was hoarse but still carried that signature cocky charm. “Damn, baby, I knew you loved me, but these tears? You tryna make me cry too?”Laura wiped her face

    It was a day to the party, the one King had planned so well with precision, the one meant to be his chessboard to catch snakes like Liam and Stacey. But instead of strategizing his moves, King found himself juggling calls and obligations like a circus clown. He was supposed to pick Laura up from the salon, where she was getting all dolled up, but as usual, life had other plans.He was in his office, leaning back in his chair, his tie slightly crooked. One of his hands was holding his phone, and the other tapping a slow rhythm of a song on his desk. Those fingers never stay put.Laura's angelic sweet voice filled his ear, teasing him about how she was being pampered like a princess because of him.“So, Mr. Kingston McGorrith, any chance of a sneak peek of the settings of the hall before the party?” Laura asked, her tone playful.King chuckled, his lips twitching into a smile. “Tempting offer, miss cotton. But I’d rather you see the full reveal when you’re ready to break hearts at the

    So not everyone wearing scrubs were saints. King has got to learn the hard way.He was leaning back against the cool black leather seat of his SUV, his long fingers tapping an impatient rhythm on the armrest. Outside, the city lights were all white and gold in his eyes even despite the tinted windows. Detective Marshal’s call had come earlier and the urgency in his voice had pulled him out of his office. Luckily, Chase was around in time to cover up for him while he would be away. “King,” Marshal had said in a tone that demanded attention. “I’ve got something for you. We need to meet as soon as possible.” Marshal had said. No greetings, no small talk. Typical of him.Now here he was, parked in a high-rise parking garage, his eyes darting to the rearview mirror as Marshal approached. The detective opened the passenger door and slid in with what seemed like a practiced ease. Marsha never rushed into anything unprepared, and tonight was no different.“Detective,” King greeted him with

    Dr. Liam leaned back against the cold wall tiles of his private shower, letting the steaming water cascade over his chiseled chest. The surgical mask lines were still showing on his face, and they reminded him of the exhausting C-section he had just completed. Liam was drained, physically and emotionally. Although he had saved a life today—two, actually. Same as yesterday and the day before—all he could think about was how much he hated these walls. Hospitals were sanctuaries for everyone else, but for him? It was more like a prison.He toweled off roughly, wrapping the plush white towel around his waist before stepping back into his office.And there she was.Stacey.Her red hair was pinned back into a messy bun, a shade too bright against her pale Texan skin. Her curvy body was poured into a black dress that hugged her thick thighs and ample chest like she had revenge to prove. She sat in his swivel chair like she owned the place, her legs crossed in a nonchalant way. Her cherry-re

    Laura leaned against the counter that had displays of hot pastries, shifting her pregnancy weight to ease the pressure on her back. Her hand absentmindedly rested on her growing belly as she glanced at Maddie, who was swirling a spoon through a cappuccino she had no intentions of drinking.“So…” Laura started, dragging on that word to hint she was about to ask something prohibited. “How's Dr. Liam these days? Still too busy diagnosing his reflection in the mirror to have your time?”Maddie froze mid-way through swirling her coffee, her playful grin flattening out for just a second before she replaced it with a dramatic eye roll. “Ugh, can we not? It’s way too early for this.”Laura raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. “Too early, or too complicated? Madds, you know I’m going to ask eventually.”Maddie waved her hand dismissively, leaning on the counter. “He’s fine. You know, doing his doctor-y things and looking annoyingly good while doing them.” She giggled with dreamy eyes. “Noth

    He knew the rules: money talked, and everyone else? They just nodded. The world worked on bribes, and the underpaid prison guard standing at the dimly lit corridor, guarding the cell gates, wasn’t about to turn down his envelope of dollar bills.“Back again, Mr. Clean?” The guard’s grin was all teeth and bad intentions, his hand greedily slipping the envelope into his jacket pocket.Matthew smirked, shoving his hands into his jacket. “You’re not paid to ask questions, Moses. I’m not here to bake cookies.”Moses laughed like they were old friends sharing an inside joke. “Fair enough. He’s in the usual spot. Ten minutes.”“Fifteen,” Matthew corrected, already stepping into the dark corridor that smelled of sweat, cheap bleach, and desperation for inmates to escape.Prisons weren’t supposed to feel comfortable, but this one had a bite of an annoying feeling that made his skin crawl every time he visited. And yet, here he was. Again.Dr. Hakeem’s cell was tucked in the back of the buildin

    They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but Stephanie Pearson preferred hers steaming hot with a side dessert of sizzling chaos. And oh, she was starving.Stephanie’s crimson nails lightly scratched the silk fabric of her blouse as she stood in front of her floor-length mirror, her reflection staring back at her like an old friend with a knowing smirk. She wasn’t dressed for anything fancy—just a casual crop top and ripped jeans—but that didn’t matter. What mattered was the way her hand instinctively drifted to her stomach.“That foolish Laura,” she muttered, cocking her head to the side, her freckled nose wrinkling in displeasure. “Thinks she can have Kingston all to herself? Oh, honey. No can do.”Her reflection grinned back at her, she was the version of herself she had grown to love over the past few months. She couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle—no, that chuckle was psychotic, if heard closely. “How does she even sleep at night?” Stephanie continued, her high-pitched v
