Another bright day

Caroline

I groaned and pulled the covers over my head, trying to block out the light and the cold that seeped into my bones. My tummy felt like a big, round rock, and my legs were all wobbly. I felt like a giant, floppy marshmallow.

I was so tired.

I tried to move my arm, but it felt like I was dragging a whole log. My head felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and my brain was super slow. I tried to remember what I was supposed to do today, but all I could think about was how cozy and warm it was under the covers.

Maybe I could just close my eyes for a few more minutes. Just a few more minutes of sleep...

Then my phone buzzed. I grabbed it, my fingers clumsy from sleep. It was a message from the restaurant manager. My heart jumped.

It said, “Caroline, you got the job!”

I sat up in bed, my eyes wide. The cleaning job! I got it! I was so happy, tears welled up in my eyes. I looked up at the ceiling and whispered, “Thank you, God.”

I needed this job. I needed it mo

  • Ex-wife becomes pregnant after divorce   Chapter 85

    Damien’s penthouse was a cathedral of glass and cold moonlight.The city sprawled beneath him, glittering and restless—cars threading through the dark like veins of light, skyscrapers rising like jagged monuments to ambition. It was a kingdom made of steel and noise, and he ruled it not with love or fear, but with something far more effective:Unpredictability.He brought his glass to his lips, letting the burn of the whiskey roll down his throat. A good burn. Clean. Expensive. The kind that started fires.Behind him, his bodyguards stood perfectly still. Two hulking shadows with earpieces and expressions carved out of stone. They knew better than to speak. Better than to breathe too loudly. In this room, silence was survival.And then—A shift in the air.Subtle. But Damien noticed.He always noticed.A new figure slipped into the room from the private elevator hallway.Unannounced.Uninvited.But not unexpected.Damien didn’t turn. He exhaled a soft, amused sigh, like a man bored wi

  • Ex-wife becomes pregnant after divorce   Chapter 84:

    Maria stepped into the hallway outside Ancelotti’s room, her pulse hammering a little too fast. The villa was quiet, the kind of quiet that felt engineered—every sound softened, every shadow perfectly placed. She didn’t trust it. She didn’t trust any of it.As she walked, she felt Ancelotti’s last words circling her like wolves.“If you find out Caroline had anything to do with this… loyalty is fragile.”Caroline. Sweet, frightened, stubbornly loyal Caroline.Maria clenched her jaw. No. Caroline wouldn’t.But even she couldn’t deny how messy everything had become.She reached the end of the corridor where Derek stood, hands in his pockets, expression unreadable.“Well?” he asked.“He wants answers,” she replied curtly.“He always wants answers.” Derek gave a humorless smile. “What kind of answers this time?”“The kind that come with a body count.”Derek hummed low. “Thought so.”Maria studied him for a moment. The man who’d driven her across continents. The man who always seemed to be

    The air in the hospital waiting room was thick with tension, the kind that clung to your skin like smoke. No one moved. No one breathed.“Where is he?” Maria asked, her voice calm but deadly serious.Derek held her gaze. “Safe. For now. But he’s not ready to be seen—not until we know what we’re dealing with.”Maria’s brow arched. “Meaning?”“He woke up, but not fully,” Derek said. “His memory’s fractured. He remembers the shooting, but not the face behind the gun. He asked for you, Maria… and only you.”Jake’s jaw clenched. Caroline’s heart dropped.“What about us?” Caroline asked. “What does that mean for the rest of us?”“It means,” Derek said, “he doesn’t trust anyone yet.”Damien scoffed, brushing invisible dust off his designer coat. “How convenient. The old king wakes up just in time to watch his kingdom fall apart.”Maria shot him a glare. “You’re still here?”Damien smiled thinly. “For now. But make no mistake—your king is weak. If he was truly the man he used to be, he wouldn

    Maria’s heels clicked sharply against the hospital floor as she closed the distance between herself and Damien. Her eyes didn’t flinch—icy, dangerous, and unreadable. She had seen men like him before—power-hungry sharks who smelled blood in the water and came circling. But Maria wasn’t prey. Not anymore.“You think this is the moment to make your move?” she asked coolly. “While Ancelotti lies in that bed, unconscious?”Damien spread his hands, his tone still light. “Timing is everything, darling. The city is hungry for leadership, and leadership isn’t about sentiment. It’s about action. Control. And the ability to take what’s yours without asking.”Jake snorted. “You mean stealing.”Damien tilted his head, amused. “Call it what you like. But when power changes hands, history remembers the bold, not the cautious.”Maria didn’t move. “And what makes you think you’ll be remembered at all?”Damien’s smile faltered—just for a moment—but it returned quickly. “Because while all of you argue

    Cut the crap," Maria snapped. "You think I don’t know you had a hand in this?"Ric chuckled, shoving his hands into his pockets. "You give me too much credit. If I wanted Ancelotti dead, he wouldn’t be breathing right now."Maria’s jaw tightened. "Then why are you here?"Ric sighed, stepping closer. "Look, Maria. You’re smart. You know what happens next."She stayed silent, waiting.He smirked. "Ancelotti’s in a coma. His men are lost. His enemies are about to tear each other apart trying to claim his throne. And you… well, you’re in a unique position."Maria’s stomach twisted. She knew what he was getting at."You think I should take over."Ric’s smirk widened. "Not ‘should.’ Will."Maria clenched her fists. "Ancelotti isn’t dead."Ric’s eyes darkened. "But he might as well be. And the longer you wait, the more unstable things become."Maria swallowed hard. She hated how right he was.The underworld didn’t pause for anyone—not even for Ancelotti.If she didn’t step up, someone else w

    The deafening gunshot shattered the night air.Jane’s heart lurched as she pulled Caroline toward the back door. Every instinct screamed at her to move faster. She couldn’t let Ancelotti or his men catch them.Another gunshot rang out, followed by the sound of tires screeching on the pavement."Get down!" Jane hissed, forcing Caroline behind the kitchen counter just as bullets tore through the front door. Glass shattered. Wood splintered. The entire house shook under the assault."Jake!" Caroline gasped, panic flashing in her eyes.Jane's mind raced. If Jake had fired first, that meant—"Shit," Jane muttered, crawling toward the back window. She peeked through the curtain and saw Jake crouched behind his car, gun raised, returning fire.Ancelotti stood in the open, unbothered. His men flanked him, their weapons trained on Jake.Caroline's breath hitched. "Jane, we have to stop this."Jane grabbed her wrist. "No. We need to get out of here before—"The front door exploded inward.A tal
