Author's POV:

The lounge of the private restaurant shimmered with low golden lights, elegant yet intimate. A quiet classical piece played in the background as waiters moved about like shadows, setting glasses and lighting candles on each table.

Vivian leaned back in her seat, swirling the red wine in her glass. She wore a fitted navy blue dress, heels crossed beneath the table, and her expression was one of quiet satisfaction. Across from her, Susan took a slow sip of her drink, her lips curled into a smug smile.

“To clever minds,” Vivian said, raising her glass.

Susan laughed lightly and clinked hers against Vivian’s. “To clever women who know how to protect what’s theirs.”

Vivian tilted her head. “I assume everything went according to plan?”

Susan nodded. “The car was being serviced just a day before the accident. I had someone make a few small… adjustments.”

“No one will trace it back to you?”

Susan shook her head confidently. “It was just enough to cause brake failure. Nothing too

    The sky outside was dull gray, and the wind pressed against the windows in low, eerie groans. Lily stood near the front door, her little hands clasped in front of her. She wore a red hoodie over her dress, her favorite bunny hairpin clipped into her curls.“Why did the accident happen so suddenly?” she asked, her voice so small it barely carried across the room.I looked at her from the kitchen, holding a towel in one hand. I didn't know how to answer.“I’m not sure, sweetheart,” I said gently. “Sometimes… bad things just happen.”She looked down, fidgeting with her sleeves. “Daddy hasn’t come home.”“He’s still at the hospital,” I said. “Watching over Grandma.”Lily's lower lip quivered. “Is she going to die?”“No,” I said firmly. “She’s strong. She’s just very tired right now. But we’ll keep hoping for her to get better, okay?”Lily nodded slowly, but I could see the fear in her eyes. I wanted to distract her, to keep her mind from wandering into those dark places where kids imagine

    The night was quiet as I sat beside Lily’s bed.Her chest rose and fell gently, her arms wrapped around her favorite stuffed bunny. The light from the hallway spilled softly across her cheek, casting warm shadows across her delicate features.My heart ached. I kept seeing the water—the pool, her tiny figure slipping beneath the surface. The chaos. The shouting. The sting on my cheek where Susan had slapped me. The looks from strangers.I reached out, brushing Lily’s hair back from her forehead. “I’m so sorry, baby,” I whispered. “I brought you into this mess.”Behind me, the door opened quietly.Logan stepped into the room, his suit jacket folded neatly over his arm. His shirt was wrinkled, the sleeves pushed up. His eyes looked tired but calm. He didn’t say anything at first. He just moved to the rocking chair beside me and sat down slowly.“She’s okay,” he said gently.

    “Lily!” someone shouted.Logan’s voice broke through the noise like thunder.I turned, heart in my throat, and saw her—tiny, helpless—sinking under the water in the pool at the edge of the ballroom.“Lily!” I screamed.Logan ran like lightning, his jacket flying behind him. He jumped in without a second thought. Water splashed everywhere.I followed, stumbling in my heels, hands shaking. Everything else faded—the music, the people, even the shame from earlier.“Move!” I shouted, pushing past people. “Get out of the way!”Logan lifted Lily out of the water. Her little arms clung to his neck. She was coughing, crying. Wet and scared.“She’s okay,” Logan whispered, holding her tightly. “She’s breathing.”“Oh, thank God,” I gasped, dropping to my knees beside them. I reached out, brushing Lily’s wet h

  • My Ex-husband And Son Wants Me Back After Divorce   Chapter 94 The Engagement Party

    I had never been to my ex-husband’s engagement party before.Well, I never thought I’d ever have to go to one.But there I was, standing beside Logan, holding his arm gently, dressed in a soft ivory gown that hugged my waist and flowed down to the floor. My hair was curled and pinned up with little pearl pins. Simple, elegant. Like I wanted to disappear into the background but still be polite.Logan wore a tailored black suit with a grey shirt underneath. No tie. He looked calm, but his hand never left the small of my back.“You okay?” he whispered near my ear as we stepped inside.“I’m fine,” I said, offering a small smile. “Just… strange being here.”He nodded. “We’ll stay for a bit, then leave. Just let me know.”The venue was a grand hotel ballroom. Soft yellow lights. Classical music playing. Servers moving around with drinks. I spotted Sebastian almos

    The wind had turned cold as I stood up from the swing. The park was quiet now. Jordan had already left with Sebastian. I thought that was the end of it.But it wasn’t.I heard footsteps behind me and turned.Sebastian.Again.“What now?” I asked, crossing my arms.He looked tense. Out of breath. His eyes full of something I didn’t want to see.“I didn’t mean to leave like that,” he said.“Jordan already went with you. You should go with him.”He didn’t answer.Before I could say another word, he leaned in and kissed me.It wasn’t soft.It wasn’t kind.It was desperate.And completely unwanted.For a second, my body froze in shock.Then, anger surged through me. I shoved him back, hard. My palm connected with his cheek in a loud slap that echoed in the empty park.“What the hell is wrong wi
