Cassia tried to ignore the uneasy feeling about Liam as she focused on her design ideas. She rubbed her temples, attempting to push aside thoughts of his abrupt call. Her mind was a mess, filled with questions she had no answers to. When she found herself unable to concentrate, she stepped out of t
"Choose me, too." The words echoed in Cassia’s head, tightening her throat. A heavy silence filled the room. She wasn’t sure how to respond. She swallowed, her fingers curling at her sides as she tried to process everything. Liam, her senior, her mentor, her friend, was looking at her with such r
Cassia sat on the cold floor alone, her knees pulled up to her chest, arms wrapped tightly around them. Her mind was a mess, thoughts colliding and looping back to the same memories. Liam’s words. They haunted her. "Choose me, too." Her throat tightened. She had always admired him, respected him
Darvan inhaled, his mind racing as the lawyer analyzed the document. Just as the lawyer leaned forward to respond, Darvan’s phone buzzed. His mother’s name flashed across the screen and he sighed. "Does she want to request this?" Justin asked, gesturing toward the documents. "Yes, but I won’t give
Cassia stood outside Liam’s door, hesitating. She had spent the entire night tossing and turning, thinking about him… about his confession. And now, standing here, she was nervous. Taking a deep breath, she knocked. Seconds later, the door opened, revealing Liam in a loose shirt and sweatpants. Hi
Stacy’s fingers trembled as she reached for the documents, her heart pounding. Just as her fingertips grazed the paper, Mrs. Sinclair smoothly pulled them away before she could pick it up. Stacy blinked, her gaze slowly lifting to Mrs. Sinclair, who wore a small, knowing smile. "I’ll give these t
"You've got to be kidding me," Darvan muttered, his brows furrowing as he glanced at his mother, who was now staring at Martinez. Martinez, seated to the side and barely paying attention to anything happening, was lost in thought. His mind was consumed with worries about Cassia. Her mood hadn’t bee
Stacy. Pregnant. With his child. He had his doubts, but now… it was real. Darvan's grip on the phone tightened. "Are you sure about this, Dr. Watson?" "Yes, sir. We ran multiple tests. The results are accurate. You’re welcome to drop by the hospital and review them yourself," the doctor replied. "
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
