Sebastian and Karen were sitting in Richard’s office. The atmosphere between them was tense, charged with expectation. A sealed envelope lay on the mahogany desk—small, innocuous, but containing answers Karen had been seeking her entire life.

“I’ll open it for you,” Richard said, picking up the envelope carefully.

Without realizing it, Karen took Sebastian’s hand. Her fingers intertwined tightly with his. She was seeking anchorage and courage.

Sebastian squeezed back. Silently.

  • Lucky in Love   Chapter 65: Intertwined Destiny

    Karen’s happiness was complete, radiant, and impossible to contain. It overflowed with every gesture, every breath. For the first time in a long time, she felt lighthearted. She needed to share this truth with Mrs. Malcolm, who was the only mother life had given her.She glanced at the clock on the wall. If she hurried, she could make it to the orphanage and back in time for dinner with Sebastian at eight.The nun was waiting for her in her office, as if she knew she would come. When their eyes met, no words were necessary. Mrs. Malcolm understood everything even before she heard it.“The DNA test proved that woman is my mother,” Karen said, her voice vibrating with emotion, and she almost laughed as she spoke.They hugged each other tightly. They cried together, but they were tears of relief, of reparation, of grief finally allowed to rest.“My daughter! I’m so glad your heart is at peace.”“I came here personally to tell you...” Karen pulled away just enough to hold the older woman’

    Sebastian and Karen were sitting in Richard’s office. The atmosphere between them was tense, charged with expectation. A sealed envelope lay on the mahogany desk—small, innocuous, but containing answers Karen had been seeking her entire life.“I’ll open it for you,” Richard said, picking up the envelope carefully.Without realizing it, Karen took Sebastian’s hand. Her fingers intertwined tightly with his. She was seeking anchorage and courage.Sebastian squeezed back. Silently.Richard opened the envelope, took out the documents, and skim them. Then he looked up.“The document confirms...” He paused deliberately. “That this woman is without a doubt your biological mother. 99.9% genetic compatibility. There is no doubt.”The world stopped for a second and then exploded with colors and sounds.Karen let go of Sebastian’s hand and brought her hands to her mouth, instant tears streaming down her face.“My mother...” Karen whispered. “It’s her. It’s really her.”She couldn’t hold back. She

  • Lucky in Love   Chapter 63: The Decision

    Karen returned home with her soul shattered. She wasn’t friends with Lindsay, nor did they belong to the same social circle; they were practically strangers. But she felt sad. Deeply sad. For the illness. For the injustice. Because of how life destroyed good people pointlessly.The house was empty when she arrived. No sign of Sebastian.She sat down on the living room sofa and waited. She looked at the clock. 6 p.m. Then at 8 p.m. Then 10 p.m.The hours passed, and he didn’t come back. Karen leaned her head back on the sofa, just for a moment, just to rest her eyes, and fell asleep.Sebastian arrived in the early hours of the morning. He was exhausted and drunk, having worked late and then gone drinking with Richard.He was startled to find Karen asleep on the sofa, her head tilted at an uncomfortable angle, her arms crossed over her chest as if trying to protect herself even in her sleep.He approached slowly so as not to wake her and stood there for a moment, just watching. Her face

    Karen wasn’t religious, even though she grew up in an orphanage run by nuns, but in some situations she prayed. She prayed as a child, asking to be adopted by a loving family. Then she prayed that Mrs. Malcolm wouldn’t find out that she was the one who ate all the chocolate cake frosting. She prayed when she was kidnapped and locked in that dark room.And she was praying at that very moment.“Give me the strength to face the truth,” she whispered softly, her hands clasped tightly together.She got up and went to the kitchen and asked the driver to wait for her in the car.“Take me to Sunrise Hospital.”The driver looked in the rearview mirror, surprised.“The hospital, ma’am?”He discreetly wiped the sweat from his hands.“I’m going to visit Peter’s girlfriend, Lindsay.” Karen tried to sound casual. “We’re practically family.”“I’ll have to let Mr. Sterling know,” the driver said cautiously.“No need to bother him with that,” Karen replied firmly. “It’s just a courtesy visit.

  • Lucky in Love   Chapter 61: Mirrors

    Sebastian tried not to think. He tried to clear his mind of Peter, Lindsay, Karen, and the money, the damn kiss. But the more he tried, the more these thoughts persisted, returning like relentless waves.When he realized it, he was already crossing the lobby of his father’s casino. He walked right past the security guards, ignored the secretary who tried to stop him, and entered the office without being announced and without knocking on the door.Marcus was sitting behind the enormous desk, immersed in a pile of contracts, his pen sliding with almost mechanical precision.Without looking up, he asked, “What do you want, Sebastian?”Sebastian took a deep breath, feeling impatience rise in his throat.“Do you already know what happened?”His father turned a page, unperturbed. “You need to be more specific.”Sebastian clenched his teeth.“Do you know who kidnapped my wife?”This time, Marcus finally looked up. Raising his eyebrow was the only sign of interest he offered.“Sebastian, if I

  • Lucky in Love   Chapter 60: The Price of Compassion

    Karen arrived at the lab with her nerves on edge. Her hands were sweaty, her heart was beating wildly, as if trying to escape through her throat. Sebastian drove silently beside her, a heavy, tense silence since the incident with Peter. He barely looked at her during the entire trip.Richard was waiting for them at the entrance, adjusting his glasses and offering a reassuring smile.“Everything is fine. The room is private, as promised.”Before Karen could respond, a nurse appeared at the door, professional and cordial.“Ms. Karen Sterling? Please come with me.”The room was cold and sterile: the smell of alcohol, surfaces gleaming under fluorescent lights, everything so clean it seemed hostile.“Relax,” the nurse said, noticing the tension in Karen’s shoulders. “It’s quick and painless.”She inserted the sterile swab into Karen’s mouth, scraping the inside of her cheek with mechanical precision.Karen closed her eyes, trying not to get lost in her own questions.She tried not to thin

    Sebastian’s gray eyes widened and froze in time.For a moment, Karen saw something in them she had never seen before. Panic and raw vulnerability. As if she had touched something he kept buried so deep he didn’t even know it still existed.“That’s not what I meant,” he said, and there was an urgenc

    When the dance ended, the music stopped, Karen and Sebastian remained there for a second longer than they should have.Too close. Too aware of each other.It was Karen who pulled away first, breaking contact. Her fingers slid through his, her hand on his bare back slowly, reluctantly withdrawing.A

    Karen approached slowly, keeping a respectful distance. Despite everything, despite the rivalry, the unhealthy love triangle, the kidney. She saw a sick woman leaning against a sink as if she were about to collapse.“Do you need any help?” Karen asked. “Do you want me to call someone?”Lindsay stoo
