Hayden stepped forward, his heart pounding in his chest, but David knew what Hayden was attempting to do, he threw an arm across his chest, halting him."Don’t try to go in there." David warned, looking at him directly as his eyes locked on the ICU doors.The nurses darted past, pants of blood packs clutched in the nurses hands with urgency. One of them returned, wheeling in another tray. She didn’t even look their way.Whatever was happening inside that room wasn’t good.Hayden’s fists clenched at his sides, nails digging into his palms. He hated this feeling of helplessness. Every second felt like something was eating him up.Minutes later the red light above the ICU turned offA hush fell over the corridor when the door opened.The surgeon emerged, he pulled his surgical mask pulled beneath his chin, he face look pale and exhausted but at alert.Then his eyes landed on Hayden. The doctor recognized him."Mr. Linford,” doctor Mark said, stepping closer."How is she?" Hayden’s voice

Ballons and decorations covered the interior of the Owens mansion. With the surprise party, Mrs. Owen had gone above and beyond as she always did with her husband. The small but significant guest list included close business partners, long-time friends, and a few neighbours who had watched the family grow over the years.She knew her husband didn’t care much about grand displays, so she kept it intimate, classy, and without his knowledge.Brian stood by the entrance, watching the joy slowly spread across his father’s face as the lights shined on and the loud “Surprise!” filled the hall.Mr. Owen stood in silence, stunned at the display before him. Then a slow smile stretched across his face. “Well, I’ll be damned,” he muttered, his voice rough with emotion. “You people planned this behind my back?”Brian and his sister chuckled, As they moved forward to pull their father into a bear hug. “Happy 70th, Dad. Welcome to the big league.”"Happy birthday granddad." came with a tiny angelic

Hours after Briella left Hayden’s office. She headed to Jaylen’s Apartment. Briella stood in front of his apartment, her expression unreadable, her arms folded across her chest as though they alone held her together.It had been a hell of a day, she couldn't find answers and David's search turned up to be nothing. But she needed peace more than proof and clarity over the situation with Jaylen. And he was the only one who could give her that tonight.She didn’t call ahead nor warn him. She just came.When the door swung open, Jaylen stood there in a loose tee, barefoot, blinking like he’d seen a ghost. They hadn't talked for a while now and he wanted to give her space. Seeing her surprised him. He opened his mouth, but Briella didn’t give him the chance.“What are you hiding from me?” She interrogated him.His chest rose rapidly that minute but he steadied himself. “Briella…”His eyes moved past her to the hulking bodyguard standing rigid near her.“Can we talk… privately?” he asked

The drive to Linford Enterprise was fast. Her driver stayed silent, sensing the storm.The bodyguard kept close behind, but even he looked uncertain when Briella charged past the reception desk without slowing down.“Ma’am, you can’t go in there..!” the secretary protested.Briella pushed open the door without knocking.Hayden was behind his desk, his shirt sleeves rolled, tie loosened. His brows lifted the moment he saw her.She didn’t give him time to speak.“What is your problem, Mr. Hayden Linford?” she snapped, her voice was sharp, barely holding back the venom.His mouth parted. “Briella..”“No. Don’t Briella me.”She stormed toward the desk, eyes blazing. “Did you have me followed?”He stood slowly. “You were in danger.”“And that gives you the right to spy on me?”“I was trying to see if you are safe.”Briella chuckled bitterly.“You don’t get to protect me anymore. You lost that right the moment you divorced me.”They stared at each other. Breathing hard. The air between them

Jaylen stared at the bracelet on the table. His eyes were without warmthHow did it get into his car, he had this exact design when he was young and he had somehow lost it. But now this seeing it felt strange. Something wasn’t adding up.He looked over at the surveillance monitor, fast forwarding the footage in silence, his eyes narrowed. He didn't see anyone around slip it in his car. But that was not his major concern. He could tell from the way Briella’s tone had shifted during her last visit and their last call that she was pulling away from him. She hadn’t said anything directly, but he knew it.And just maybe… he deserved it.Jaylen leaned back in the chair.He’d gotten used to being the one in control. The one who knew things before they happened. But with the people after Briella, he couldn’t predict.He closed his eyes and let his head fall back against the chair.She mattered so much to him. he wasn’t just trying to protect her, he didn't want to lose her.A knock came at

After David left, Briella was left alone inside.She stood for a second, then let herself sink into the couch. Her hands cupped her face, her mind was going haywire.She had no enemies, none she should know about. Apart from Hilda who was dating Hayden now. No one was a threat to her. But then again, the intruder was looking for something specific and how was this even linked to Jaylen. Or could it be a competitor? She thought.She couldn't bring herself to confront Jayden.Not until she figured out what the hell was going on.Her fingers moved on the keypads of her phone for a moment. David had initially told her to keep things quiet. But she didn’t have to carry the burden alone. She needed to talk to someone. And her girlfriends were a phone call away.She dialed Kristen. Then added Crystal to the call.Briella shut her eyes. She didn’t even know where to start.
