"What did I tell you, Remy? You made a mistake by running last night." Martinez took a step back, then leaned casually against the wall, his arms crossing over his chest. The faint smirk on his lips remained, barely hiding his amusement. The air in the room grew tense. The way Martinez stared at hi
Cassia stood frozen by the door, her fingers gripping the flash drive tightly. Martinez’s revelation unsettled her, but she refused to let anyone see it. Taking a deep breath to steady herself, she turned back to her family and Liam, who were still seated at the dining table. "Who was that, honey?
"Save it for the station," the officer said, cutting her off as he secured the handcuffs around her wrists. Cassia stood still, watching as Stacy was led away, her heart pounding against her ribs. A hand gently pressed against her shoulder, and she turned to see Liam. "Are you okay?" he asked sof
"Stacy..." He gritted out, the name now bitter on his tongue. Darvan’s hands trembled as he gripped his phone, the video replaying in his mind. Stacy’s voice, her words....all of it was etched into his memory. He had defended her, convinced she wouldn’t do something like this again. But he was wron
Stacy’s laughter died in her throat, replaced by a heavy silence. Her eyes widened as she searched Darvan’s face for any sign that this was a cruel joke, a test, anything but the truth. But his expression remained the same, cold. The man she once thought would always be by her side now looked at her
The bar was dim and quiet, a place for people trying to escape their troubles. Darvan sat alone at a corner table, his fingers slowly tracing the rim of his whiskey glass. The golden liquid swirled under the soft light as he tilted it, but his mind was elsewhere, lost in memories he wished he could
Darvan left Cassia’s place, speechless at what she had said. As he drove through the dim, silent night, his mind was full of regret, guilt, and confusion. Each thought did nothing but worsen his state of mind. How could she still be so cold toward him? His thoughts consumed him so completely that h
Darvan heaved heavily while Justin inhaled deeply, watching his friend, who looked both confused and devastated. Without a word, he observed as Darvan disappeared into one of the rooms, the door slamming shut with a loud bang. "Why don’t you just break my door while you’re at it?" Justin called af
The moment Elara stepped out and the front door gently clicked shut, Cassia turned to Darvan with a thoughtful expression. "Do you think I was too harsh with my decision to destroy the Sinclair?" she asked, her voice calm but uncertain. Darvan didn’t hesitate. "No. It was perfect... They once dest
Like the days before, Darvan showed up at the mansion again. This time, he was holding a single lily. Cassia opened the door, arching an eyebrow. "You and these flowers..." she muttered, rolling her eyes, but still, she reached out and took it from him. "Don’t tell me you’re doing all this becaus
When they arrived at the mansion, it was exactly what everyone expected and more. Grand? No. Magnificent. The kind of place that made you stop at the gates just to take it all in. Cassia stood still for a moment, staring at the building a second too long. Of course, it was one of Master Elara Voss
Weeks passed slowly, and Cassia still hadn’t opened her eyes. Her condition remained unchanged, and despite the doctors’ efforts, there was no sign of improvement. What surprised Darvan most wasn’t just the silence, it was who kept showing up. His uncle, Martinez, had begun visiting more frequently
In Darvan’s ward, silence filled the room. Fredrick and Justin had gone to get food, leaving him alone. He stared at the ceiling, one hand on his chest, the other resting at his side. "I thought I lost her," he whispered, remembering the moment he was fortunate enough to see Cassia being wheeled i
Moments later, the forensic cleaners arrived and Liam left the scene heading straight to Cassia's firm, where he found Mira just about to leave, looking utterly exhausted. "You're still here?" he asked. "I had a lot to do. Mostly because Miss Sterling didn’t show up," she muttered, yawning. "I ne
Liam was still standing there, frozen in disbelief. The air in the house was thick with the smell of blood and gunpowder. He glanced once more at the spot Cassia's body was before it was carried out by the unknown guy, and then down at Henry’s lifeless form. His heart beat faster, but his hands wer
"I… I had twins?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper. "Yeah, " Doctor Naomi said softly. " You had twins." But Nora just stared at her. Her mouth stayed slightly open, and her eyes held disbelief...not because she didn’t trust the doctor’s words, but because everything now made painful, perfect
Henry stood upright, towering over Cassia. His hand reached down and snatched her phone from the floor where it had fallen. He looked at the screen, the corners of his lips lifting into a dark smirk. Cassia's heartbeat quickened. That was her chance...he was distracted. Without thinking twice, she
