AVA

When Roman left for food, I felt guilty and relieved at the same time. Guilty because he’d only just learned about the pregnancy and I’d hidden it. Relieved because, for the first time in a day, I had five minutes alone to breathe.

I tried to make sense of everything. The doctor’s calm words in the corridor, the beeping of machines—my mind wanted to sort it all into neat boxes, but the pieces refused. I didn’t even know who the baby belonged to. I didn’t know if this tiny, fragile thing in me was Roman’s or Julian’s. The thought stabbed at me until my mouth tasted metallic.

I was scraping the inside of my phone for anything new about Morgan Company when I heard the door open. Footsteps were deliberate in the quiet hospital room. I looked up before I recognized him. He stood in the doorway like he owned the light.

“Ava dear.” The word was small in the space between us but it landed like a fist.

Edward Morgan. He looked as he always did—commands in his stance, contempt in the set of

    The door burst open so suddenly that Ava flinched.“Where is she?” Roman’s voice thundered through the room.Before anyone could react, Ava was already on her feet. The cuffs on her wrists clinked softly as she ran toward him, tears spilling down her cheeks. Roman caught her immediately, pulling her into his chest without hesitation. He wrapped his arms around her carefully, mindful of the restraints, and kissed her forehead over and over again.“I’m here,” he whispered fiercely. “I’ve got you. I’m getting you out of here right now.”Ava clutched his suit jacket, her voice shaking. “Roman…”He pulled back just enough to look at her face, his jaw tight with anger and fear. Then he turned slowly to face the detectives, his expression darkening.“What is the meaning of this?” he demanded. “Release my wife immediately.”One of the detectives stood up calmly, raising a hand slightly. “Mr. King, I understand you’re upset, but this is not how the process works. Your wife is here for question

    Ava inhaled sharply and straightened her shoulders.“Security,” she said firmly, lifting her hand. “Please take care of this. Get her out of here. If she needs medical attention, take her to the hospital. She’s clearly not well.”Two security officers stepped forward immediately.Before they could touch her, the woman jerked away and began shouting again, her voice cracking with raw grief.“You took us there!” she screamed, pointing at Ava with trembling fingers. “You took me and my sick son to that place. You promised help. You said he would be safe!”Ava’s brows knit together in shock.“My son had seizures,” the woman continued, tears streaming freely now. “I begged them to let me take him away when he started convulsing. They told me to wait. They said he would feel better. And now he’s dead!”The room felt like it tilted.Ava stood frozen for a moment, her heart pounding. None of what the woman was saying made sense. None of it had ever happened under her foundation’s watch.“That

    Roman was seated behind his desk in his corner office, reviewing emails on his tablet while his personal assistant stood a few steps away with a notepad in hand.“Cancel my lunch with the Westbrook partners,” Roman said, without looking up. “Push it to next week. And remind finance that I want the revised projections by Friday morning, not Friday evening.”“Yes, Mr. King,” his PA replied promptly, jotting it down. “Also, the legal team confirmed the documents you requested are ready for your signature.”“Good. Leave them on my desk.”Just as she finished speaking, the office door opened, and Ava walked in, carrying a neatly arranged wicker basket. Roman looked up instinctively—and his entire expression changed. The tension in his shoulders eased, and a wide smile spread across his face.“That will be all for now,” Roman said warmly. “You can take an early break.”His PA smiled knowingly. “Of course. Good afternoon, Mrs. King.”“Good afternoon,” Ava replied with a pleasant smile.Once

    Roman’s eyes scanned the kitchen quickly, then landed on a wooden baseball bat resting against the side counter, probably left behind by the previous owners or the movers. He grabbed it without hesitation, gripping it firmly as his body slipped into full alert mode.He moved slowly, carefully, tiptoeing toward the staircase. Every step was measured. Every sound amplified. His heart pounded as he followed the direction of the noise, up the stairs and toward one of the closed doors at the end of the hallway.The footsteps came again—this time softer, almost hesitant.Roman raised the bat.He inhaled once, sharply, then pushed the door open in one swift motion, lifting the bat, ready to strike.And then he froze.Standing in the middle of the room was a dog.A large, fluffy brown-and-white dog stared back at him, ears alert, tail stiff. For a split second, both of them just stood there, equally startled.The dog barked loudly.Roman flinched, then immediately lowered the bat as realizati

    Roman gently covered Ava’s eyes with a soft blindfold.“Hey,” Ava laughed, reaching up instinctively. “Where are you taking me now? Are you kidnapping me in my own house?”Roman smiled and guided her forward carefully. “Shh,” he said playfully. “We’re almost there.”She allowed him to lead her down the hallway, her curiosity growing with every step. When they stopped, she felt the bed beneath her knees as Roman guided her to sit.“Okay,” he said softly.He removed the blindfold.Ava blinked as her eyes adjusted, then her gaze dropped to the bed. Several documents were neatly arranged in front of her.She frowned slightly and looked back up at Roman. “What’s this?” she asked.Roman sat beside her. “Those are documents to your new house.”Her breath caught.She picked up the papers with trembling hands and skimmed the top page. Her eyes widened as she slowly looked back at him.“A house?” she asked in disbelief. “Roman, we already have a house.”He smiled gently. “This isn’t just a hous

    The house was unusually quiet when they arrived.Roman slammed the door behind them as soon as they stepped inside, his frustration spilling over. He ran a hand through his hair and let out a harsh laugh that carried no humor.“He ruined it,” he said bitterly. “Damian ruined our wedding.”Ava watched him pace the living room, his movements sharp and restless.“Why can’t we ever just be happy for a long time?” Roman continued, his voice thick with anger. “First it was Clara and Julian. Just when we finally got past that mess, my stupid, unhinged twin brother crawls out of hell to destroy another moment of our lives.”He stopped abruptly and clenched his fists. “It’s like happiness is something we’re not allowed to have.”Ava stepped closer, her expression softening. She reached him quietly, then lifted her hand and gently pressed her fingers against his lips, silencing him.“Hey,” she whispered. “Stop.”Roman froze, his breathing still heavy.She moved closer, her body brushing against
