Penulis: Baby X
“Was it because of something she said to you that your heart started acting up?” Sienna asked immediately.

Xena let out a bitter smile. “Sienna, don’t ask. What she said was pretty harsh. It’s better not to repeat it.”

“No, I want to hear it. Tell me exactly what she said,” Sienna insisted. She wanted to know just how cruel Miranda had been, so she could later complain to Mrs. Gibson Sr. and make sure Mrs. Gibson Sr. stopped favoring her.

“She said I’ve always been picking up things she didn’

    “Daddy, look. There’s a little bunny over there,” Mia suddenly whispered, pointing at the grass.Felix followed the direction she was pointing and sure enough saw a wild rabbit nibbling at the grass. He motioned for her to stay quiet, then gently picked her up and carried her a little closer.Curled in Felix’s arms, Mia quietly watched the little rabbit eat until it finally ran off. Only then did she say, still wanting more, “Daddy, I want to come hiking again next time.”“Okay. When I have time, I’ll bring you again,” Felix said with a soft smile.They kept heading toward the summit. The higher they climbed, the steeper the trail became. Miranda was starting to tire out and ended up behind with Gavin, while Felix stayed up front with Mia.“Mia really has great stamina,” Gavin said.“She really does.” Miranda answered between breaths, though there was clear pride in her eyes.At last, they reached the top. Miranda was so tired she found a rock and sat down. Mia was off nearby pl

    “Wow, it’s so pretty!” Mia was instantly amazed. Living in the city, she rarely got to see scenery like this, with green mountains and clear water everywhere.“Mommy, look. There’s a big butterfly over there, and it’s blue,” she said, pointing with wide-eyed curiosity.Miranda looked in the direction Mia was pointing and saw a butterfly fluttering among the flowers. Sunlight filtered through the leaves overhead, and the mountain breeze carried the scent of wildflowers. It lifted her mood too.“It’s beautiful.”Gavin was dressed in athletic clothes too, with a hiking backpack slung over his shoulders. It was not often he got to accompany Felix somewhere other than a conference room, and he was in a good mood as well.“That’s a blue swallowtail,” Felix said, explaining it to Mia.“It’s so pretty!” Mia ran happily across the grass after the butterfly.Miranda pulled out her phone and started recording Mia’s excited little figure.Felix stood off to the side, his expression softeni

    Tomorrow was the weekend. Mia lay in Miranda’s arms, bubbling with excitement for the upcoming mountain hike. Miranda leaned in to kiss her chubby cheek, her heart swelling as she watched Mia in the soft glow of the window lights.Basking in Miranda’s love, Mia curled up like a little kitten and wrapped her arms around Miranda’s neck. She cupped Miranda’s face, planting sweet kisses on her skin.“Mommy, I love you so much. I love you the most.”Miranda smiled and rubbed her little head. “Mommy loves you the most too.”A little later, Mia fell asleep. However, insomnia took hold of Miranda.She got out of bed and went to the balcony off the master bedroom, standing there alone for a while. The night breeze brushed past her, and she whispered softly into the dark sky, “Please come back safe.”*At that same moment, in a villa across town, Xena sat with an iPad in her hands, watching an interview with a man in his early sixties. He was a major figure in the tech world, the foun

    Xena had already blocked Zoe, so now all Zoe could do was call Lily nonstop every day.Lily let out a sigh. “Well, now that the performance opportunity is gone, do you want to take another look at that ad deal we talked about last time? It’s for diapers, but they still really want you as their spokesperson.”Xena brushed a hand irritably through her hair. It looked like the only way she could still make money now was by cashing in on her status as an internationally known pianist in the ad world.“Go negotiate it,” Xena said at last. “And get the price up.”Lily brightened immediately. “Okay. I’ll go talk to them in a bit.”Just then, Xena’s phone rang. It was Dr. Smith’s assistant. She clenched her jaw. She wanted to ignore it, but she didn’t dare. In the end, she answered.“Hello?”“Ms. Spencer, please come to the lab tomorrow at nine for a blood draw. Thank you,” the assistant said.“Didn’t I already do that last week?” Xena snapped.“I’m not sure about that. I only receive

    Xena made it all the way to Hayden’s office without being stopped.His assistant stepped forward as soon as he saw her. “Ms. Spencer, you’re here. Please, go in.”Xena gave him a slight smile. But the moment he pushed open the door to the CEO’s office for her, the smile froze on her face.The person sitting in Hayden’s chair was not Hayden.It was Sera.When she saw Xena walk in, Sera lifted a brow and smiled. “Ms. Spencer. Long time no see.”Xena’s expression shifted. She glanced around the office, but Hayden was nowhere in sight. Forcing herself to stay calm, she said, “Sorry, I’m here to see Hayden.”“He’s in a meeting.” Sera rose gracefully to her feet and walked toward her at an unhurried pace. “Whatever it is, you can say it to me.”“I’m sorry, but this is between Hayden and me.” Xena kept her composure.“Oh?” Sera let out a soft laugh. “But his business is my business now.”Xena caught the edge of provocation in her tone. She took a breath, reached into her bag, and pu

    Just then, Lily’s voice came from downstairs. “Xena, are you almost ready? We need to go.”As soon as Lily came upstairs, she saw Xena sitting on the couch with her arms folded, her face dark and stormy. She quickly lowered her voice and asked, “Xena, what happened?”“My performance was canceled.” Xena bit down on her lip.“What?” Lily blurted out in shock. “Why?”“Sienna filed a signed complaint against me. She’s trying to make sure I never perform onstage again.” Xena clenched her fists in anger.“Then call Mr. Gibson right now,” Lily said anxiously. “Playing piano is your career. You can’t just let his sister destroy your livelihood like this.”A cold look flashed through Xena’s eyes. “Call Felix? All he sees now is that bitch Miranda.”“Then what are we supposed to do? We can’t just let Sienna bully us like this.” Lily was panicking too. She was counting on Xena to make serious money.Xena clenched her fists again. Who else could she ask for help? In the past, Hayden would

    Mike had already asked around in private. Felix’s visit had been scheduled in advance, but the timing was suspiciously perfect. Almost as if he had chosen to show up the moment Miranda arrived.“Could it be that he came here on purpose, because of her?” Mike wondered.“Uncle Mike, let’s go eat! I’

    “Leo has someone he likes?” Susan frowned. But Haley had told her that Leo was currently single and not seeing anyone.“Which socialite is Leo interested in?” Susan asked, unable to hide her curiosity.Sienna’s eyes flashed with hurt and anger. “Socialite? No. It’s Miranda. The person he likes is

    “It’s your team’s coordination that made it work,” Miranda said, taking the coffee. “Once we finish the final wrap-up, I should head back.”Jacob nodded. He knew he couldn’t keep her tied up here. “I’ll have Mike arrange your return to Atlantis City.”On the sixth day, all the closing work was fin

    The next morning, Miranda received a call from the vice president of the Jenkins Foundation. They hoped she would deliver a speech at the launch of their new talent development initiative. After all, it was a charitable project she had personally funded. Miranda had planned to decline, but the pro
