“God, I should have just run with the urn,” she chastised herself as the taxi pulled away.

“I would have taken it with me.” She crossed her arms, annoyed at her own mistake. “I’m so stupid.” She slapped a palm against her forehead.

But then again, what was she supposed to do? How was she going to stop herself from falling deeper into his pit? He had her right where he wanted her.

She had been just a breath away from his lips. Their mouths had been so close to touching, and she knew she would ha

    "Why always this family?” she mused, letting out a breath of annoyance at the new finding. “After I almost died multiple times because of them?” She was more angry than anything else.The emotions came rushing back as she remembered the hell she had gone through just because of her own determination to find the truth.The truth about that cursed family.“They’re hunting me at this point,” she tapped her fingers in thought. “This cannot be a coincidence. They really are hunting me.” She let out a huff. “Every time I try to forget about this family, I get pulled back in for one reason or another.”“Miranda, I’m no longer married to your son. I have nothing to do with your family. Why do you keep bothering me?” she sighed in final resignation.“You know what…” She sat up straighter. “Fine. I’ll look into it.” She raised her hands dramatically in surrender as she planned her next course of action.“Is Eric even aware of this?” she thought out loud, reaching for her phone to call him.She

How was she going to stop herself from falling deeper into his pit? He had her right where he wanted her.She had been just a breath away from his lips. Their mouths had been so close to touching, and she knew she would have let him.“God, I’m so weak,” she groaned, remembering the feeling. There was no way she wouldn’t have slept with him if things had gone further.*Why couldn’t he just still hate me?* she thought, smacking her hand against her forehead again. *Why? Why?? Why???**He should continue hating me. It makes it easier to avoid him.* She groaned loudly, drawing the driver’s attention.“I wonder if he won’t let me get close to Fin because of this?” She finally digested the gravity of the situation. Her

    “I said give me back my child.” He moved to take the box from her, but she ducked under his free arm and pressed it tightly against her chest.“You’ve been refusing to let me see her for weeks,” Autumn said, holding the box closer. “You even cremated her before I could see her body.”“Do you deserve the right to see her?” he asked, walking toward her.“I do,” she yelled. All the resentment and anger that had built up from those nights spent clutching her pillows came tumbling out.“I carried her for six months before she was ripped out of me.” She held the box tighter. “Don’t I deserve that much?”“No, you don’t,” he replied. “You’re the one who stubbornly moved out of the house just because of a little temper tantrum.”“You call me finding out you cheated a temper tantrum?” she scoffed.“I did not cheat on you. I never cheated on you,” he yelled.“Sure. I believe you.” Her voice was thick with sarcasm. “That’s why you’re so eager to flaunt your new relationships.”“That’s your own bu

    “I asked you a question. What are you doing here?” he said as he walked inside, taking in her tear-streaked face.His heart ached at the sight of her standing up to face him, her eyes filled with defiance even as she stepped sideways to cover the box.His gaze flickered to the table. The edge of the box was still slightly visible. The concern on his face shifted into something colder — anger.“What are you doing with that?” he roared, walking closer.Autumn instinctively moved to shield the box from his sight, as if that would change anything.“Nothing,” she answered automatically, trying to clear herself of anything incriminating.“Nothing?” Eric mocked, letting out a sarcastic sneer. “You broke into my office, went through my belongings, and you’re telling me it’s nothing?”“I did not break into your things,” she shot back defensively. “You invited me over.”He clicked his tongue at her reply. “I invited you over to see our son, not to rummage through my belongings—”Chloe stepped i

    Eric stared at the phone in his hand as the familiar tone of the call being hung up rang in his ears.“She actually hung up on me,” he muttered to himself in disbelief, before letting out a quiet huff and placing the phone back on the table.He shifted his gaze to the sea of faces staring back at him. The softer expression he had worn while answering the call had already morphed back into his familiar aloof mask.“What are you looking at?” he asked coldly, snapping them out of their silent observation. “Continue with the next one.”They scrambled to resume the presentations.Eric sat through report after report, his mood plummeting with each one.His mind drifted to Autumn. He wasn’t listening to a single word being said.*I wonder what she’s up to right now,* he thought, absently turning the phone in his hand as he pictured the smile that must have bloomed on her face when she heard she could see Fin.*I want to see her. I haven’t seen her since last week—*His thoughts were cut shor

    Autumn arrived at the Kingston estate a few minutes later. She was nervous as she stepped forward.The thought of seeing her daughter’s urn made her both excited and terrified at the same time. She didn’t know what she was going to say or do when she finally saw her.When she finally held her.She knew one thing for certain — she was going to cry. She was going to cry a lot.*And maybe apologize,* she thought. She would most definitely apologize to her.Tears were already glossing in her eyes as she thought about ‘her’, but she forced them back.“Now is not the time to think about that,” she murmured just as the door opened.A maid was there to greet her as she stepped inside. The house was quiet as she walked through the foyer.Her body moved toward Eric’s office before she could stop herself. She turned to the maid behind her.“Where is Mr. Kingston?” she asked to confirm if what he said was the truth.“Sir isn’t around,” the maid bowed.“Where are Fin and Chloe?” she asked again.T

    The light from the morning sun blinded my eyes, forcing me to squint as I woke up in an unfamiliar room. For a split second, I panicked, my heart racing as I tried to remember where I was. Then, the events of last night crashed into my mind. I buried my face in the silk pillows, blushing at the mem

    It had been a few days since the incident at the bistro, and a heavy, suffocating silence had settled between Eric and me. We moved around the estate like two planets in a dangerous orbit—close enough to feel the pull of gravity, but terrified of a collision. I had managed to sneak a text to Marco

    Autumn stood before the ornate mirror in the foyer, checking her reflection one last time. She adjusted the strap of her bag, her fingers lingering on the leather. She felt like herself again.Chloe, ever the observant shadow, wandered into the foyer with a bowl of sliced fruit, munching slowly. Sh

    The car pulled up to the Seta by Antonio Guida, and we were led through the sleek, turquoise-accented halls of the hotel to Seta by Antonio Guida. Eric had reserved a private section, a secluded nook that felt worlds away from the bustling streets of Milan. The lighting was low, the air filled with
