Chapter 18: Redemption

As I descended the stairs of the administration building, my stomach growled loudly, reminding me of how long it had been since I last ate. The day’s activities had taken their toll, and I had been so focused on completing the necessary processes that I had barely noticed my hunger. Now, it hit me with full force.

“Could this baby not be a little patient?” I muttered to myself as I rubbed my belly. “We’re almost done, I promise.”

Locating the car park, I walked briskly, scanning the rows of vehicles for the familiar black car. When I spotted it, I knocked gently on the driver’s window to get his attention.

The older man quickly rolled down the window, his eyes lighting up with recognition. He stepped out immediately, adjusting his uniform. “Oh, ma’am, I’m so sorry I didn’t see you approaching. Please forgive me.”

I waved off his apology with a tired smile. “It’s okay, really. I’m the one who should be apologizing. I didn’t know the process would take this long.

  • Reclaiming Evelyn    Chapter 59

    Chapter 59 Third-person POVThe car ride to the hospital was quite tense. Cecily was buckled in the back, fast asleep after an emotional afternoon. Evelyn’s fingers gripped the steering wheel, her mind racing with everything Bennett had said on the phone. Claire had collapsed. Blood pressure, he guessed.The hospital corridors felt colder than usual as Evelyn made her way to the room where Claire was being monitored. Bennett stood just outside, his arms folded, his eyes weary but calm. As soon as he saw Evelyn, his shoulders dropped in relief.“She’s okay,” he said. “They ran a few tests, and it’s just what I thought. Her blood pressure has been unstable for a while. She didn’t say anything.”Evelyn exhaled a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding. “And now?”“The doctor said she can go home today. They’ve given her something to stabilize it. Prescribed a few meds. She just needs rest.”Inside, Claire sat upright on the hospital bed, sipping from a paper cup. Her cheeks were pale

    Chapter 58Third-person POVThe morning sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains, casting golden rays across the living room where Evelyn sat with her laptop open, halfway through a video call with Mr. Harrington and Carlos.“We should be done here in about two or three days,” Mr. Harrington said, his voice steady but tired. “Once we wrap up this presentation in Geneva, we’ll be on the next flight back.”Evelyn nodded, her hand gently stroking Cecily’s curls as the little girl sat beside her, leaning toward the screen. “We miss you already,” Evelyn said, her eyes soft with warmth.Carlos grinned from his corner of the video. “Don’t let her eat too many marshmallows, okay?”Cecily giggled. “I only had five yesterday!”Evelyn and Mr. Harrington exchanged knowing glances. After a few more minutes of catching up, the call ended, and just like that, the morning routine resumed. Cecily ran off to get her backpack while Evelyn checked in with Claire and Bennett.Claire and Bennett were t

    Chapter 57: The Drive HomeThe mall lights faded in the rearview mirror as Carlos steered them onto the main road, the car humming gently beneath them. The city was quieter now, painted in shades of amber and navy. Evelyn leaned back into her seat, her body relaxed but her mind unusually quiet.Carlos broke the silence with a low chuckle.“Now that… that was a scene to behold.”Evelyn turned to him with a teasing brow. “What do you mean?”Carlos smirked. “Oh, don’t play dumb with me.”“I’m not playing dumb.” She folded her arms. “What are you even talking about?”Carlos scoffed, shifting gears as they took a curve. “Girl. Come on. The way Zenda was looking at you all evening? That man is head over heels.”Evelyn let out a laugh, tinged with disbelief. “Carlos, stop it. Don’t start assuming things.”“I’m not assuming anything. I’m stating facts.” He glanced at her. “He wasn’t just being nice, Evie. That man was practically breathing in sync with you. Watching your every move. If you’re

    Chapter 56: Games and Glancesthird person povThe mall glowed with early evening light, its ceiling lit with warm yellow bulbs and glass panels that reflected the bustle below. After browsing through rows of shoes, handbags, and a few chic dresses that Evelyn didn’t need but enjoyed admiring, Carlos suggested they check out the gaming area.“Come on, Doc. You’ve had a long week. Time to unwind a little,” he grinned, nudging her toward the escalator.Evelyn chuckled. “You’re just trying to make me lose at arcade racing so you can brag all the way home.”“Me?” Carlos raised his eyebrows. “I’m offended you think I’m that competitive.”“Carlos. Last week, you argued with Dad over chess for three days.”“Okay, mildly competitive,” he said, leading her to the glowing neon lights of the mall’s gaming floor.The area was bursting with sound bumping music, kids laughing, machines flashing. The scents of popcorn and cotton candy clung to the air. Evelyn’s eyes widened in amusement.“Oh wow. Th

    Chapter 55:Sunshine in Small Momentsthird person povCecily was already awake before anyone else in the house. With her curly brown hair bouncing wildly behind her, she dashed into the hallway like a spark of joy, calling for everyone to get ready.“Today is park day!” she sang, jumping onto Mr. Harrington’s bed with a toothy grin. “Up, Grandpa! Up!”Mr. Harrington chuckled from beneath the covers, pulling the child into a warm embrace. “You’ve been up since sunrise, haven’t you?”Cecily nodded proudly. “Mommy promised. Today is our big day.”And she made sure no one forgot. She dragged Bennett out of bed, tugged on Claire’s robe, and even knocked on Carlos’ door with a wide grin. By the time Evelyn was out of the shower, the house was already alive with laughter and the faint smell of cinnamon pancakes wafting from the kitchen.By midmorning, everyone was dressed and packed snacks, drinks, Cecily’s tiny soccer ball, a picnic blanket, and her favorite bubble wand.They arrived at the

    Chapter 54: The Cracking Empirethird person povThe sleek Manhattan penthouse, perched above the chaos of the city, looked exactly like Jade Holland’s life used to be flawless, polished, and expensive. But just like the woman pacing barefoot across its marble floor, that perfection was crumbling fast.Jade stood near the floor-to-ceiling window, her silk robe loose around her frame, a glass of untouched wine in hand. Her eyes weren’t on the skyline. They were on her reflection.“You’re quiet,” Charlie muttered, voice gruff as he walked in from the guest bedroom, pulling a shirt over his head. He tossed his phone on the couch with a grunt. “What’s that supposed to mean? You haven’t said a word since I walked in.”Jade exhaled. “Because I’m tired, Charlie.”He laughed dryly. “Tired? Or broke?”She turned sharply. “Excuse me?”“You heard me. Landon’s not sending money like he used to, is he? Guess the cash cow finally stopped mooing.”“Don’t be ridiculous,” Jade snapped, setting the win
