When they finally reached where the car was parked, Justin and Frederick stood for a moment, staring at the car and then at each other, wondering how they were all going to fit inside. After a second, Justin chuckled and said, "Ladies before gentlemen," as he grabbed Frederick’s arm and gently pull
After Henry said those words with a mocking grin, he turned sharply and started walking away. His steps were fast, and within seconds, he broke into a full run. Adams cursed under his breath and immediately chased after him, his mind set on one thing; ending Henry right there and then. They ran th
The drive to Cassia’s place was quiet. Darvan didn’t say a single word. His hands gripped the steering wheel loosely, his eyes flickering toward her once in a while, but he never said anything. Cassia sat quietly beside him too, staring out of the window, her thoughts miles away. When they finally
"Alright." One of the men said simply. "We were given that permission too." Another one of them grabbed Darvan roughly by the arm, pulling him back. Darvan twisted and swung a punch, but it was caught mid-air easily by the other man. Before Darvan could react again, another heavy punch landed hard
Henry leaned back on the chair, a lazy smirk playing on his lips as he listened carefully to everything Adams was saying through the device. "He's finally awake huh?" he chuckled under his breath, shaking his head slightly. It was almost amusing how predictable things were becoming. Still half-lis
Darvan’s body tensed. The basement. He knew what that meant. Before he could resist, the men grabbed him roughly by the arms and started dragging him backward. He struggled, kicking and twisting, but they were stronger this time and ready for him. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Mrs. Sinclai
The sound of Mrs. Sinclair's heels echoed as she began descending the narrow stairs slowly, step by step. Darvan said nothing. He simply stood there, fists clenched at his sides, his breathing steady. Mrs. Sinclair finally reached the basement floor. Behind her, one of the men carried down a smal
Stacy slowly sank into the couch, the wrinkled letter still in her hand. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t stop thinking about it. Who sent it? And how did they know she was getting out of the hospital today? Worst of all, how did they get into her house? Her heart pounded as she picture
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
