"Deal, then," Aliyah agreed with a slight nod. She grabbed her phone from the bed and redialed Cassia’s number, as promised. Lucas leaned in, trying to eavesdrop, but Aliyah shoved him away with a glare. After two rings, Cassia picked up. "Hey, Cassia. Sorry for cutting the call short earlier,"
"What if I’m carrying twin girls? Would the entire fortune belong to them?" Stacy took a deep breath, steadying herself. She had been eavesdropping just moments ago, but now she had to act as if she had just arrived. Her fingers hovered over the door, about to knock. But before she could, the door
As Darvan stepped inside his family estate, his expression remained calm, but his mind was filled with worry. He hadn’t come to see his mother, nor did he have any idea that Stacy was with her. He was there for one reason: to grab a few things from his room. As the door opened on its own and he ste
Her friends rolled their eyes. "I guess you’ve found the perfect weapon to use against us," Kiara chuckled, making Cassia smirk. "Well, that’s not the only reason I came," she admitted. Quinn and Kiara exchanged knowing glances. "So, you're really here for Liam?" Quinn asked. Cassia nodded
The night was a cool one but not for Darvan. The cool gentle breeze swept through the city as he and Stacy walked side by side. The streetlights illuminated their way and the faint sounds of traffic filled the air. Despite the beautiful atmosphere, Darvan remained silent, lost in thought. It felt
Could she really say no to her mother? Would her mother get mad if she lowered the amount to a million? Still caught up in her thoughts, her mother's voice came through again. "If the money is sent now, I can start with whatever I have in mind," her mother muttered softly. Cassia let out a
Cassia stood in the middle of her room, staring at the neatly packed suitcase on her bed. Tomorrow, she would be leaving for an entirely new journey, and she needed to make sure she was fully prepared. She moved toward her closet, pulling out the last few items she might need. A few more outfits,
After the handshake,Cassia was given the cake and cut it while everyone cheered. She smiled and bowed in appreciation. "That's Mathew, your temporary personal assistant," the man from earlier said. Cassia nodded. "I'll give you a tour," Mathew offered. Cassia nodded again and followed him throug
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
