“I’m not hungry,” my father's voice carried softly through the bedroom door.

“You’ve had just one spoon, Alden,” my mother replied, her tone patient but fraying around the edges. “That’s not even nearly enough. One spoon of chicken noodle soup won’t hold you till dinner, Alden.”

“I already had some chips,” Dad said.

“Potato chips are not food.”

I closed my eyes for a moment before lifting my knuckles and knocking gently.

The quiet argument stilled. A beat passed before Mum’s voice called, “Come in.”

I pushed the door open and stepped inside.

Dad was sitting up in bed, his back propped by two large pillows, a tray table across his thighs. A bowl of soup sat untouched on the tray. It was a classic American chicken noodle, the kind Father always loved, with extra saltines on the side.

Now, though, he was just staring at it like it was something foreign. His skin looked pale. His lips were dry. And his

  • Oops! I Left With The CEO's Heart   Chapter 75

    A storm of emotions twisted inside me as I stared into Stefano’s eyes. The Stefano I knew wouldn't do any of those things said in the police report, and he most certainly wouldn't threaten to take anybody's life.But why did the report talk about evidence being provided to back the accusations?I swallowed hard. “Why did that woman accuse you of those horrible things?”Stefano nodded resignedly, as if he understood why I couldn't blindly take his side.“After she tried to kill herself, I felt trapped," he said quietly. “So I stayed with her, fearing she would really kill herself if I left. I tried everything to love her as much as she loved me... if she actually did. But every day she got more bitter and we fought more and more.He looked down at his hands, rubbing his thumb over his palm like he was washing something off.“I would always apologise even though it was never my fault. Over time, I just got miserable until I couldn't do it anymore, so I broke up with her. I offered to le

    For several seconds, absolute silence reigned, thick with tension as I slowly moved my gaze from Alex to Stefano.Stefano still hadn’t said a word, his eyes narrowed into infinitesimal slits, pinned on Alex. I looked back at Alex.The words he’d spoken kept ringing in my ears. And they made no sense. It had to be a joke. A very bad one.“What the hell is wrong with you, Alex? How can you even joke about something like that?” I fumed, my voice trembling with disbelief.“Do you really think I would joke about something like this?” Alex asked, looking at me earnestly, his brows furrowed in frustration.“If this isn’t a joke, then it has to be a lie. You’re just making this up,” I shot back, my chest heaving.Hurt flickered across his face, and guilt twisted in my stomach. Despite all his flaws, I knew he wouldn’t fabricate a grand lie about something so serious. So it had to be a mistake. That was the only explanation that made any sense.I shook my head. “What you just said about Stefan

    I swallowed. Jealous?Sure, Hillary's sudden appearance had rattled me, considering everything she had stood for in the past, but that didn't mean I was jealous.Before I could throw that argument at Celia, I heard the twins yelling from the living room.“Daddy! Daddy!”My entire body went still.Liam’s voice rang clearer than Liana’s, and before I could blink, he came rushing into the kitchen, beaming.“Daddy’s here,” he said breathlessly. “He said to get you.”Celia arched a brow and sneered, “Probably done with his girlfriend now.”I ignored the tight twist in my chest and pushed my chair back. “Let’s go,” I told Liam softly, and followed him out of the kitchen.Alex stood in the living room, his hands buried in his pockets, his expression earnest. He looked up as I entered, his eyes meeting mine with something halfway between frustration and uncertainty.“Can we talk?” he asked.I gave a small shrug. “Sure.”He crouched slightly to face the twins. “Can you two give Mummy and me a

    EMMAI stared at the rows of cereal boxes, but I wasn't really seeing them. My hands tightened around the handle of the shopping cart as the twins darted between shelves, their excited voices echoing through the aisle."Mummy, can we get this one?" Liam held up a garishly colored box covered in cartoon characters. I gave a vague nod, barely glancing at it before he tossed it in the cart."Liam already picked something. Can I get this?" Liana held up a different box."Sure, sweetheart," I said quietly.They both blinked at me, then exchanged a look. I knew they'd noticed I wasn't really present. I couldn't help it. My mind was stuck on what I'd seen outside Alex's office.Hillary Harris with her arms wrapped around him like she belonged there. The way she said my love had sounded so natural. And familiar. And Alex had let her.The ease of her presence. The way his arms hadn't immediately pushed her away. He hadn't even looked angry. Just stunned.Had she been in his life all this time

    ALEXEverything had been going great. I'd just given the kids a tour of the company, which had brought us even closer. They both wished to do what I did when they grew up, and even though I knew they might change their minds as they aged, it still filled me with a deep sense of pride.But all that came crashing down when a familiar voice spoke and long-forgotten arms wrapped around me.I froze, my muscles going taut, mind racing.This couldn’t be happening. It couldn’t be her after so many years.I hadn’t seen her face in eight years, but I would have recognized that voice anywhere.Through the haze of my shock, I could make out Emma standing just a few feet away, staring.There was something raw about the way she looked at me in that moment. Something hollow. Before I could figure it out, she cleared her throat and stepped back.“We’ll go now,” she said quietly, as if she was afraid of breaking a moment apart. “The kids and I will continue to the supermarket.”Liam and Liana were alr

    ALEXI was in my office reviewing some files when there was a knock. Without waiting for my call, the door opened and the person stepped in.I knew only one person who did that, so I didn't bother to look up.“Tony,” I muttered, flipping a page on the file.“Awn, I mean so much to you that you've even memorized my scent,” he said as he strolled in.Then he dropped himself into one of the chairs across from my desk like he owned it. “You need to hear what I overheard at the reception.”I looked up, pinching the bridge of my nose. “Do I?”He grinned. “Oh yes, you’ll want to hear this one. I heard three of your employees discussing that ever since you came back from your little getaway in Spain, you’ve been greeting people and smiling and saying good morning. And everybody is getting freaked out by it.”He barked out a laugh like this was the funniest thing he'd ever heard as he continued, “They’re trying to figure out if Alex Miller 'The Ogre' was replaced with Prince Charming.”I let o
