The church was still spinning from Eleanor’s words when she lifted her phone.

“I don’t make accusations without evidence,” Grandma Eleanor said calmly. “Unlike some people.”

Selene’s hands trembled. “What are you talking about?”

Eleanor turned slightly toward the pastor. “With your permission.”

The pastor hesitated, then nodded. “Proceed.”

Eleanor pressed play.

Dr Joshua’s voice filled the church speakers—clear, professional.

"SO THE PREGNANCY IS FAKE.”

“EXACTLY. AND I NEED YOU TO MAKE IT REAL… ON PAPER.”

“I’M NOT GOD, MS. SELENE. I CAN’T PULL A PREGNANCY OUT OF THIN AIR.”

“YOU’RE THE CLOSEST THING TO GOD IN A LAB COAT THAT I KNOW. ALL I NEED IS A FORGED RESULT AND YOUR PROFESSIONAL ASSURANCE THAT EVERYTHING IS FINE. VERY SIMPLE.”

Gasps erupted.

Selene’s head snapped up. “No! That’s not—”

She screamed, “TURN THAT OFF!”

The recording continued.

“DAMIAN IS MY PATIENT,” JOSHUA SNAPPED.

“AND MY FRIEND. THIS WOULD BE BETRAYAL.”

“NO."

    Lucas leaned back in his chair, relaxed, like the world hadn’t just cracked open.“So he’s been in the hospital since yesterday?” he asked.“Yes,” Aria replied, lifting her glass. “High blood pressure. Collapse. The whole drama.”Lucas whistled softly. “Damn. Didn’t think it would hit him that hard.”“It did,” Aria said flatly. “He’s broken.”Lucas’s lips curved. “Then this whole mess is a blessing in disguise.”Aria frowned. “How exactly is that a blessing?”.“Come on, Aria. Use your head,” Lucas said. “A man in love is dangerous. A man in heartbreak is careless.”She didn’t answer..“Damian Cross right now?” Lucas continued. “He’s not thinking about board meetings, documents, security protocols. He’s thinking about betrayal, humiliation, and how close he came to ruining his life.”“So?” Aria pressed.“So his company is the last thing on his mind,” Lucas said. “Which makes this the perfect window.”Aria set her glass down. “You’re saying we move now.”“I’m saying we’d be stupid not t

    The hospital room was quiet in the way only hospitals could be—too clean, too still, like the air itself was holding its breath.Damian lay on the bed, monitors softly beeping beside him. His face was pale, lips dry, chest rising and falling unevenly. The white suit he had was gone, replaced with a thin hospital gown that made him look… smaller. Human.Aria sat in the chair beside the bed, arms folded tightly across her chest.She had told herself she was only here because of Grandma Eleanor.That was the story she repeated in her head.I’m here for Grandma. I’m here out of responsibility. I’m here because it’s the right thing to do.Not because she cared.Not because her chest tightened every time his breathing changed.Not because she hadn’t left the room once since he was admitted.A nurse stepped in quietly, checking the IV line.“His pressure is still high,” she said softly, glancing at the monitor. “But it’s coming down.”Aria nodded. “Thank you.”The nurse hesitated, then smile

    The next morning came without mercy.Sunlight filtered through the tall windows of the Cross mansion, soft and golden, completely at odds with the heaviness inside.Aria stood outside Damian’s bedroom door, her hand raised.She knocked.Once. Twice.No answer.“Damian?” she called gently.Silence.Her brows knit together. She pulled out her phone and dialed him.It rang. And rang. Then went dead.Her chest tightened.“Damian,” she said louder now, pressing her ear closer to the door. “Can you hear me?”Nothing.From the hallway, Grandma Eleanor’s voice drifted up. “Tell him to come downstairs. We need to talk.”Aria swallowed.“Grandma says you should come down,” she tried again, firmer this time. “Please.”Still no response.Just as she reached for the handle, the lock clicked.The door opened slowly.And Aria froze.Damian stood there—barely.His white wedding suit was wrinkled, stained at the cuffs, like he’d slept in it. His shirt was undone at the collar, his hair unkempt, eyes s

    The church emptied slowly.Not because people wanted to stay—but because no one knew how to leave after witnessing something that ugly.Reporters were pushed out. Phones were lowered. Whispers faded into awkward silence.Soon, only a few people remained.Damian stood at the altar, still in his white suit, hands hanging uselessly at his sides. His tie was loose. His eyes were empty. Not angry anymore—just hollow.Max hovered nearby, unsure whether to speak.Aria stood a few steps back, watching him without moving closer. She knew better.Grandma Eleanor sat calmly in the front pew, her walking stick resting against her knee, eyes fixed on her grandson.The pastor cleared his throat.“I… I think we should give him space.”No one argued.One by one, they stepped away.The heavy church doors closed.That’s when it hit him.Damian’s knees buckled—not dramatically, not loudly. Just… suddenly.Max caught him before he fully collapsed.“Damian—hey—hey, sit, bro. Sit.”Damian didn’t resist. He

  • Married Twice, Loved Once    The Wedding

    The morning of the wedding was loud before it was beautiful.“Where is the makeup artist?” Selene’s voice cut through the bridal suite like a blade.“Why is the veil still on the chair?”“Who moved my shoes? I said nobody should touch my things!”The room froze.“I want today perfect,” Selene snapped. “Perfect means no mistakes, no delays, no stupidity.”“Yes, ma’am,” three voices replied at once.Across the hall, Aria stood calmly as a stylist adjusted the last button on her dress.Her gown was simple, elegant, champagne silk, tailored perfectly to her frame. No diamonds screaming for attention. No excess. Just quiet class.A staff member gasped softly. “Wow.”Another whispered, “She looks like royalty.”Aria smiled politely. “Thank you.”As she stepped into the corridor, murmurs followed her.“Is that Mrs Cross?”“She’s stunning.”“I didn’t know the wife would look like this.”Aria walked past Selene’s door just as another shout erupted.“Why does everything keep going wrong today?”
