LOGINLeika didn't know that Darren already knew about his son, whom she had never told him, and Leo's condition, and that Leika was trying to get bush around him.Atlas had already approached Darren and told him everything, prompting him to nearly explode in anger.Atlas promised him freedom and custody of his child if Darren would cooperate in trapping Leika and Samuel.Not only that, Darren was also told about Asher and what he had experienced."He must be in the same boat as me," Darren said bitterly. "Trapped by the same woman, who comes from a crazy family desperate for wealth and power like the Waldens.""You don't have to worry anymore," Atlas said. "My men have moved your mother and sister to a safer home, with 24-hour security, professional nurses on call, the best medical services, and a pension sufficient to keep you comfortable for at least the next twenty years.""I might be rotting in this prison for a mistake I never committed, if it weren't for you, Mr. Sheridan," Darren sa
"Dad, what happened?" Leika asked, panicked. "Why are you calling me to come home? Leo is still in the hospital, and he's in critical condition!""That bastard Atlas has made his move," Samuel's voice was frantic. "He found Asher and brought him back. Now your husband has already recorded his testimony against me!"Leika was shocked. She had calmed down when her father told her that Asher had been sent to Venezuela.Leika didn't fully love Asher; in fact, she had grown to hate him because of his family's constant bullying.If it weren't for her father's plan, she wouldn't have wanted to reconnect with Asher, especially since he was still married when she returned.However, the child in her womb had to be delivered because the doctor said that an abortion would endanger Leika's life. She had a history of severe anemia and the abortion risked significant blood loss, which could be fatal.Leika knew that her ex-husband, Darren, would definitely refuse to accept the agreement with her fat
Asher had returned. Several of Berryl's men had escorted him directly to Janus and Olivia's apartment, as Asher and his two younger siblings had requested.Olivia cried hysterically when she saw Asher's condition. She and Janus hadn't been informed that Asher's leg had to be amputated.Janus, who had recovered after several days in the hospital, couldn't say anything, only sighed repeatedly as he rubbed Olivia's back, trying to stop her crying."I'm sorry," Asher said softly. "I must have caused you so much trouble and worried you.""Stupid," Janus muttered. "Of course we were worried. You're our big brother, and you've always taken care of us and given so much to us, so now it's time for us to repay you."Asher smiled weakly. "But now, I've lost everything. Family, job, money, honor. I have nothing left.""Don't be like that," Olivia snapped. "You still have us. Now, Janus and I have realized that money is no longer important, because it's what has torn us apart and ruined everything
"Kane, you've grown so big in the blink of an eye," Regina said, hugging her stepson affectionately. "And you're so comfortable living with Granny and Grandad that you forget we're here!"Kane laughed and hugged Regina tightly. "I've missed you, Mom. And I just heard I'm getting a little sibling soon. I want twin sisters!"Regina laughed. "If you're willing to help me raise them, of course you'll get them.""I'll take good care of them," Kane said, patting his chest. "I'm a grown man now, and Grandad says I'm reliable."Tristan flicked Kane's forehead gently. "A grown man wouldn't be afraid of needles, would he?"Kane's face fell. "That has nothing to do with maturity, Uncle Tristan!"Everyone laughed at Kane's remark. After Regina and Atlas married, just a week later, Jason and Renee brought Kane to live with them at their vacation home in Italy.Regina objected at first. He didn't want Kane to feel pushed aside by her and his father's remarriage, but the boy himself wanted to go wit
"Are you feeling better?" Regina asked, setting the basket of fruit on the nightstand.Janus looked at the basket of various fruits with embarrassment. He looked at Regina and nodded."Yes, thanks to Doctor Tristan's care. He gave me some good medicine and said I can go home in two or three days," Janus replied.Olivia pulled out a chair for Regina and took a large apple from the small refrigerator near the waiting couch, peeling it for Regina."Olivia," Regina said. "Come here. We need to talk."Olivia obediently approached Regina and sat on the edge of Janus's bed."So, your brother was found last night," Regina said. "He was unconscious and covered in injuries, in an old warehouse outside a very quiet town. I don't know what happened to him, but he can't be questioned right now."Olivia cupped her face in her hands, muffling her sobs as her shoulders shook.Regina gently patted Olivia's thigh. "The search team sent by Atlas decided to take him to the hospital, and he's currently b
"No! From now on, you can only work from home," Atlas said firmly. "Leave all office matters to your deputies, Sonya, and the others. You just need to monitor and relax.""Gosh, Babe, I'm pregnant, not paralyzed," Regina said irritably. "I'll die of boredom if you keep me locked up like this."Atlas sighed heavily. He stroked Regina's hair gently. "I know it's boring, Baby, but try to hold on for the sake of our child, okay? Your parents will be here soon to be with you, and most importantly, you have to remember what your obstetrician said. Your uterus isn't strong enough, and you shouldn't move around too much and overexert yourself while the fetus is still young."Regina stroked her still-flat stomach, then glanced at the package of vitamins and supplements on the nightstand."Yes, okay," Regina said obediently. "I'll take good care of myself, for the sake of our child."Atkas kissed Regina's forehead. "Good. I'll try to be by your side more, too. I can bring some work with me and
