He Presented His Heir, I Disappeared With His Twins Chapter 8
Dangerous as it was, the frontier had given me something Valen's world never had.Work. Dignity. Freedom.That old life I had once called home now looked exactly as it was—a cage built around someone else's will. I was never going back.Valen saw the answer in my face and panicked.He reached through the fence and caught my wrist hard enough to make me flinch."Nerina, you're still angry. I know I was a bastard, but I understand now." His voice shook. "Sabina's collapsing. The doctors say she has days, maybe less. Come back with me, and everything changes. You'll be the only Mrs. Varesi. I'll cut her off completely. I'll erase the rest of it."I tore my hand free."Erase it?" I said. "That's what you think this is? Something you can rewrite once it stops pleasing you?"His jaw tightened."You promised me forever," he said. "Have you forgotten that?"I almost laughed."You were the one who broke forever first, Valen." I looked him in the eye. "I don't take back what's been discarded, an

[Nerina's POV]I left the city under a sky full of cloud.From the plane window, the coastline and towers kept shrinking until there was nothing left to recognize. For the first time in years, the silence inside me did not feel like loss. It felt like relief.From that moment on, I no longer belonged to the Varesi family.Twelve hours later, I landed in the frontier territories.It was a lawless place, crowded with smugglers, mercenaries, and private militias. The air smelled of diesel, blood, and cordite. Nothing there resembled the polished order of Valen's world.The head of the neutral medical unit met me at the gate and handed me a heavy vest."Wear it," he said. "Out here, no one cares that you're a doctor."That was true in more ways than one.For years, I had treated Valen as though he were the center of my life. I had let myself believe that orbiting him was love. But the man who once seemed to see only me had long since disappeared into duty, entitlement, and convenience.I r

[Valen's POV]Sabina had only just calmed down when the baby's condition changed.His crying turned thin and uneven, then broke off altogether. A second later, his breathing began to catch in short, strained bursts, and a gray-blue tint spread across his lips.Sabina stared at him for one stunned second before she let out a scream."Valen—something's wrong with him!"One of the nurses tried to take the baby from her arms, but Sabina clutched him tighter, shaking so badly she could barely hold him. Then, almost at the same time, she went pale herself and pressed a hand to her chest."I can't breathe," she whispered. "I feel terrible—Valen, I can't—"Two of them at once.The whole house fell into chaos.My father was shouting for every pediatric specialist and family doctor on the Varesi list. Staff were running through the corridors. Someone wheeled in oxygen. Someone else was already opening the emergency suite downstairs.I followed the nurses into the hall just as the elevator doors

[Valen's POV]I stared at the report until the word twins blurred.The whispers in the chapel rose around me, but I could hardly hear them.Impossible.How could Nerina be pregnant?How could she be carrying my children and leave without telling me?I wanted to run after the courier, drag a destination out of him, tear through the city until I found her. But the moment I moved, Sabina gave a sharp cry and clutched the baby tighter."Valen," she whispered, her face draining of color. "Something's wrong with him."The baby had started wailing, small body twisting in her arms, his cries turning thin and ragged.My mother pushed past one of the doctors, panic rising in her voice."Valen, what are you doing? If something happens to that child now, will that woman answer for it?"Then she pointed toward the doors."This is exactly her style. A forged report, a dramatic exit, all timed to humiliate you in public. If she were really pregnant, why would she run?"My father struck the marble onc

Three days before I was due to leave, I got a message from the director of the private clinic. The pediatric cardiologist I had asked him to contact was in the city for one day only and was willing to examine Sabina's son. The baby's records suggested a congenital heart defect. Subtle enough to miss at first, serious enough to become dangerous if treatment was delayed.He could see the baby on the day of the christening, if Sabina agreed.No matter what had passed between us, the child had done nothing wrong. This one last thing, and whatever I owed the Varesis would be over.I went to Sabina's sitting room and told her the doctor was available.Her face darkened at once. "What is this supposed to mean?" she snapped. "You look at my baby once and suddenly decide there's something wrong with him?""It's not that," I said. "He specializes in congenital cardiac defects. It would only be a follow-up."Before I could finish, she snatched the porcelain cup beside her and threw it. It shatter

Such a betrayal should have shattered the room.Instead, Valen had delivered it as if he were explaining a sensible arrangement.I finished packing the last of my clothes just as his mother pushed open the bedroom door. Her eyes went straight to the suitcase at my feet, and for a second, satisfaction flickered across her face before she covered it with contempt."While you were gone, I moved Sabina into your room," she said. "The study next door has been turned into the nursery. You can sleep on the sofa tonight. If that doesn't suit you, there's a guest cottage by the back drive."I was too exhausted to argue. The journey home, the shock, the pregnancy, the humiliation—it all sat in my body like lead.So I only nodded.That night, the baby cried on and off from the master bedroom. I turned on the sofa and tried to block it out until I heard Sabina's voice, thin with complaint."Valen, do something. He won't stop crying, and I can't sleep."Then Valen laughed softly."You're the one I'
