Later, life settled down again.

It did not take long for me to notice something was off with Logan. Each time he came by with food, his expression seemed strained, as if he were carrying something he did not want to say.

A quiet instinct stirred in me. I reached out and placed my hand over his. "Did William do something to you?"

Logan did not try to hide it. He told me the truth almost immediately.

Several of his company's projects had been blocked by the Jamison family.

    Later, life settled down again.It did not take long for me to notice something was off with Logan. Each time he came by with food, his expression seemed strained, as if he were carrying something he did not want to say.A quiet instinct stirred in me. I reached out and placed my hand over his. "Did William do something to you?"Logan did not try to hide it. He told me the truth almost immediately.Several of his company's projects had been blocked by the Jamison family.Fury rose in me the moment I heard. I wanted to go straight to William and demand an explanation.But Logan stopped me. He said he had a way to handle it.Later, I learned he had gone to Elvira.The moment she heard, she agreed without hesitation.She gathered recordings and surveillance footage from the house and organized them into a file. It contained proof of how coldly William had treated her and the two children over the past few months. In one clip, he had even shoved Summer to the ground. Taken togethe

    On the flight home, William and Elvira did not even sit on the same plane. By then, they looked less like a married couple and more like enemies who could not stand the sight of each other.Elvira arrived at the villa first. The moment she walked in, she called a lawyer and had divorce papers drafted.By the time William pushed the door open, the agreement was already laid out neatly on the table.He stopped short. His gaze fell on the pages. Disbelief flashed across his face before he let out a cold laugh. "What are you trying to pull now?"Elvira sat on the sofa, worn to the bone, but her eyes were strangely calm. "You're overthinking it."She looked up at him and spoke each word with quiet clarity. "I'm just sick of you."William stared at her in silence.Elvira let out a low laugh. None of her old smugness remained. Only exhaustion lingered."I used to think that as long as I beat Stephanie, as long as I stayed by your side, as long as I had your two children, one day you w

    After that, William stopped coming.I did not think much of it. I simply went on living with Logan. We took walks by the sea. We shopped for groceries together. We curled up on the couch and watched movies.Billy remained as wild as ever, turning the apartment upside down. Logan would laugh, scold him lightly, and clean up the mess for me anyway.We grew closer with each passing day.Then one day, I sat in the bathroom with a pregnancy test in my hand and stared at it for a long time.I was pregnant. My feelings were more complicated than I expected. More than shock, I felt a sense of release.For the longest time, I had believed that if I ever had a child, that child would be William's. In the end, the father was a man I had known for only a few months.I lowered my head and touched my stomach.Maybe this was the universe's will.When Logan found out, he was even more excited than I was. He picked me up and spun me around until we were both dizzy, his eyes bright the entire t

    In the coffee shop, William sat across from me, his eyes red-rimmed.I sat quietly, calm and unreadable, as if I were meeting an ordinary acquaintance from the past.The server approached and asked politely, "What can I get for you two?""Cappuccino," William said.The server turned to me, but before I could speak, William answered out of habit, "She likes a flat white. Light ice, less sugar, strong coffee.""I don't need anything."We spoke almost at the same time.The server paused, glancing between us."I'm only sitting down for a minute," I added evenly. "I'll be leaving soon."The light in William's eyes dimmed at once. His hand tightened on the edge of the table. "Stephanie, I know the truth now. I was the one who misunderstood you all these years. I was wrong. I'm sorry."I listened and gave a small nod.William seemed to wait for a response, but I said nothing. Little by little, the hope in his eyes faded.In the end, he asked, "You really don't have anything you wa

    After Brent sent me to a remote country, I realized it was nothing like I had imagined.If anything, it was the opposite. The sun was generous, and the ocean stretched in every direction. The people were warm. Even the streets and the weather carried a faint resemblance to the place where I had lived as a child.With the money Brent had given me, I lived comfortably.I rented a small apartment with a view of the sea. Each morning, I woke and made myself a proper breakfast: a sunny-side-up egg cooked just right, toast with crisp, golden edges, cut fruit, and a warm glass of milk.After breakfast, I did yoga and rehab exercises, then spent a few hours learning the local language.I also got a small cat and named him Billy. He was still tiny, full of restless energy, racing around the apartment all day and shredding tissues across the floor like a spoiled child.Whenever I watched him dash around, I thought about what the doctor had told me that day. I could still have a child.The
