Katherine's POV

The crowd thinned slowly, friends and neighbors offering their final condolences before drifting away. I stood alone at the graveside, my hands clasped in front of me, my eyes fixed on the freshly turned earth.

I had scanned the crowd during the service, my eyes searching for a familiar face. I told myself I wasn't looking for him. I told myself it didn't matter. But deep down, I knew the truth.

Mikel wasn't there.

He had chosen not to attend. He had chosen to stay away. And eve

  • Pregnant For My Best Friend's Rival    The Goodbye

    Olivia's POVI heard the shouting from my room as though the foundations of the mansion were about to give way.At first, I tried to ignore it. I was used to the arguments between Jason and Mother—the raised voices, the cutting words, the cold silence that always followed. But this time was different. This time, I heard something in Jason's voice that I had never heard before.I crept to the top of the stairs, my heart pounding, and listened."I'm leaving. I'm leaving this house. I'm leaving you. I'm never coming back."The words hit me like a physical blow. I felt the air leave my lungs, my chest tightening with a fear I hadn't felt since Dad died.I never seen Jason that furious before. The expression on his face was revealing so much hurt that I could only imagine what had transpired between them again.I knew it was about the company, but I had no idea what the real issue was. I heard Mother's cold response, heard Jason's footsteps as he walked away. I didn't wait. I ran down the

  • Pregnant For My Best Friend's Rival    The Breaking Point

    Jason's POVThe drive back to the mansion was a blur of streetlights and rage. My hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly that it almost felt like I was struggling with the steering wheel. If only the poor thing could talk, it would have probably asked me if it had offended me in any way.But of course, it couldn't speak, and neither could it understand my plight. Those workers have stood by Richmond Holdings from the beginning, and now that we're facing challenges, they are the ones who have to take the fall.The image of Maria's tear-streaked face, the sound of the workers' desperate pleas—it played on a loop in my mind, fueling the fury that burned inside me.My mother had done this. Without consulting me. Without caring about the lives she was destroying.If only father was alive. He would have found a way. The thought came both consoling and judgemental at the same time.I wasn't like my father, and no matter how hard I tried, I was never going to be like him. Jonathan Richmo

    Jason's POVThe office was quiet, the afternoon sun casting long shadows across the desk. I was staring at a spreadsheet that made no sense, the numbers that blurred together, the debts that seemed impossible to overcome, and in that moment, my phone rang.I glanced at the screen and the moment I saw the caller, I felt my stomach drop. I had been expecting this call for weeks, and had also been avoiding it, hoping for a miracle, hoping that somehow the situation would resolve itself. But miracles didn't happen especially in my current state.I answered, my voice steady despite the dread coursing through me. "Jason Richmond.""Mr. Richmond." The voice on the other end was cold, professional. "This is Thomas Bradley from First National Bank. I'm calling regarding the loan that is now three months overdue."After the deal with the Enzogrande's fell apart, I had to look for a way out and it was Thomas who helped me three months

  • Pregnant For My Best Friend's Rival    The Numbers

    Mikel's POVOlivia was crying openly now, her shoulders shaking, her voice breaking. I watched her, a strange tightness forming in my chest."I came to you because I was desperate," she continued, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand. "I know our families are rivals. I know you have no reason to help me. But I thought... I thought maybe you'd understand. You saved me, Mr. O'Connor. You didn't have to, but you did. That meant something to me. It meant everything."I didn't know when it happened, but I felt a tear escape my eye. It slid down my cheek, warm and unexpected. I wiped it away quickly, but not quickly enough.Olivia looked up at me, her eyes red and swollen. "Are you... are you crying?"I let out a shaky breath. "I suppose I am.""Why?"I didn't answer right away. I thought about my father, lying in a hospital bed, fighting for his life. I thought about the attack on my family, the conspiracy that

    Mikel's POVThe office was quiet, the afternoon sun streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long shadows across my desk. I was reviewing financial reports—numbers that blurred together after hours of staring at them—when a soft knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts."Come in," I said, not looking up.My secretary, Margaret, poked her head inside. "Mr. O'Connor, there's someone here to see you."I glanced at her, frowning. "I wasn't expecting anyone. Who is it?""Olivia Richmond, sir."I blinked, certain I had misheard. "Olivia Richmond? Jason's sister?""Yes, sir. She says it's important."I set down my pen, my mind racing. Olivia Richmond. The last time I had seen her was the night I saved her from that drunk at the restaurant. What could she possibly want with me?"Usher her in," I said, curiosity getting the better of me.Margaret nodded and disappeared. A moment later, the door opened again, and Olivia stepped inside.She was dressed simply—jeans, a soft swe
