Valentina laughed, a crazy, high-pitched sound. "You love her! You still love that beggar girl! You’re cheating on me in your heart!"

Lucas just stood up and walked out of the room. He didn't argue. He didn't shout. He just ignored her like she was a bug on the wall. This made Valentina even angrier. She grabbed her phone and dialed a number.

"Father!" she sobbed into the phone. "Victor! He saw her! Lucas saw the girl! He’s ignoring me! He’s treating me like trash!"

  • Pregnant After The Contract Ended    Chapter 116

    The sun was barely up when Naomi stood in the kitchen, packing a small plastic lunchbox. She put in a sliced apple, a piece of soft bread, and a small bottle of juice. Her hands were still shaking from the red-inked letter she had found on the porch, but her face was set like flint."I am not staying home, Martha," Naomi said, her voice low but firm. "If I stay home, the 'House of Glass' wins. If I hide, I am telling them that I am still their prisoner. I am going to my classes, and Leo is going to school too."Martha was sitting at the table, watching Leo as he tried to put his own shoes on. He was humming a little song, his dark curls bouncing. He was only two year old, but he was fast and smart."There is a small school at the bottom of the hill," Naomi continued. "It’s just a cheap, simple place with a green wooden gate. The lady there, Mrs. Higgins, is kind. She doesn't ask for papers or fancy names. She just wants the children to be happy. Leo can go there for a few hours while

    Charlotte moved just in time. The glass smashed against the front door, leaving a giant crack in the wood."You’re crazy," Charlotte said, shaking her head. "And if you keep acting like this, Lucas won't even need a reason to leave you. He’ll just run for his life."Charlotte walked out and slammed the door.Valentina sat in the hallway, breathing hard. She felt like she was losing her grip. She felt like the walls were closing in on her.A few hours later, Valentina’s father, Victor, arrived at the mansion. He was a tall man with white hair and eyes that looked like stones. He walked into the living room and looked at the mess Valentina had made."You are acting like a child, Valentina," Victor said."He saw her, Father! He looked at her like she was an angel!"Victor sat down and poured himself a glass of expensive whiskey. "I told you to be calm. I have people looking. But the girl is smart. She is using a simple name. She is staying in a village that doesn't even have a map. No on

    Naomi stood on the porch, the small piece of paper shaking in her hand. The cold mountain wind blew against her face, but she didn’t feel the chill. All she felt was a giant, heavy fear. The red ink looked like blood in the moonlight."The cage is still open," she whispered.She looked into the dark trees. Every shadow looked like a person. Every rustle of the leaves sounded like a footstep. She quickly stepped back inside and locked the heavy wooden door. She pushed the iron bolt into place with a loud clack."Naomi? What is it? You look like you’ve seen a ghost," Martha said, coming out of the kitchen with a lamp.Naomi handed her the paper. Martha put on her glasses and read the words. Her face turned hard, like the rocks on the mountain."They found us," Naomi sobbed, sinking into a chair. "I thought if I worked hard, if I went to school, if I stayed quiet, they would forget. But the city... the city never forgets."Martha walked over and put a firm hand on Naomi’s shoulder. "List

    Valentina laughed, a crazy, high-pitched sound. "You love her! You still love that beggar girl! You’re cheating on me in your heart!"Lucas just stood up and walked out of the room. He didn't argue. He didn't shout. He just ignored her like she was a bug on the wall. This made Valentina even angrier. She grabbed her phone and dialed a number."Father!" she sobbed into the phone. "Victor! He saw her! Lucas saw the girl! He’s ignoring me! He’s treating me like trash!"On the other end of the line, Victor, a man with a deep, cold voice, sighed. "Calm down, Valentina. You are an Ashford now. Don't act like a common girl. We will take things easy. We will find out where she is. We don't need to shout. We just need to be smart. Go back to bed. I will handle the rest."Valentina hung up the phone. She looked at her broken leg and then at the door where Lucas had disappeared. "You think you’re free, Naomi?" she whispered. "The hunt has just started."The next Monday, the college was decorated

    The bus ride back to the mountains was very long. The city lights faded away, and the dark, quiet trees took their place. Inside the house, Naomi didn't even take off her midnight blue dress. She sat on the edge of her bed and started to cry. It wasn't a loud cry. it was the kind of crying that comes from deep inside, where all the old pain is hidden."He saw me, Martha," Naomi sobbed, her shoulders shaking. "He looked at me, and for a second, I felt like the same girl who used to wait for him by the window. I felt weak."Martha sat beside her and pulled her into a firm hug. She didn't say "don't cry." She just let Naomi lean on her. "You aren't weak, Naomi. You saw the man who broke your heart, and you still stood on that stage. You still spoke your truth. That is called being a lion.""But I still love him," Naomi whispered into Martha’s shoulder. "Why does my heart still beat for a man who chose a house of glass over his own son? Why can't I just be free?""Because love is not a li

    Naomi took a deep breath. She stepped out from behind the pillar. She wasn't holding Leo now—Martha was holding him in the shadows. Naomi walked toward the stage alone.The midnight blue dress flowed behind her. She looked like a queen. She looked like a woman who had walked through fire and come out made of gold.Lucas felt his heart stop.It wasn't a trick of the light.It wasn't a dream.It was her.She walked up the steps and stood at the microphone. She looked out at the crowd. She saw the flashes of the cameras. She saw the Mayor. And then, her eyes moved to the back of the room.She saw Lucas.Their eyes met across the space. For a second, the whole city disappeared. There was no mansion. There was no Valentina. There was no money. There was just a man and a woman who had lost everything and found themselves in the dark.Naomi didn't smile. She didn't cry. She just looked at him with a strength that made Lucas feel like he was the weak one."Thank you," Naomi said into the micr

    Naomi’s POVThe darkness was not black. It was a strange, heavy gray. I felt like I was underwater, trying to swim to the surface, but the water was made of lead. I could hear voices, but they sounded like they were coming from a long, metal tunnel."She’s waking up! Look, her eyes are moving!"I f

I had called her from a payphone near the train station. She had cried, promising to bring me some money and food tomorrow."
