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. "
Darvan’s grip on the steering wheel tightened as he drove to Justin’s company. His mind was a mess. No matter how much he tried to process everything, it still felt unreal. Stacy was the last person he would ever trust now. For days, he had convinced himself it was a lie. That she had manipulated t
Cassia looked down at the pavement, her lips pressing into a pout as she spotted her phone lying there, slightly tilted with the screen facing up. "Oh no..." she mumbled, crouching down to pick it up. A sharp gasp escaped her lips as she saw the screen completely shattered. "Shit..." she muttered,
As they slowly pulled away from the hug, Stacy's mind was a mess. She had been prepared for his cold attitude, his usual mean words...but not this. Mrs. Sinclair, who had been silently watching, smiled gently. "She was just about to head home," she said softly, her gaze moving between them. "You
"Didn’t expect to see you here, Cassia," Henry muttered, making Cassia chuckle. Liam turned to her with a curious look. "You know each other?" Cassia shook her head. "Not really. We met in Paris, and earlier today, he saved me." "Right," Henry added. "I'm Henry," he said, extending his hand. Lia
"How are you feeling? Should we go to my place together?" Darvan asked, searching her face. Stacy stood still, her eyes locked on him as if she were looking at a stranger. The man standing before her was not the Darvan she had known all these years. Even the Darvan from the past, the one she had on
Darvan took in the scene before him, noticing the atmosphere inside the sitting room was tensed and the air itself seemed charged. Martinez stood still, his expression anything but calm, while Mrs. Sinclair kept her eyes locked on him. As Darvan walked in fully, his eyes swept over the scene. He ha
Cassia’s fingers tightened around Henry’s arm as she helped him straighten. His sudden persistence felt off. She had been approached by aspiring designers before, but never like this. "You don’t have to kneel," she muttered gently with a tight smile. Henry straightened up, brushing imaginary du
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
