ASHLEY'S P O. V

I had only ever been in Genevieve's office twice.

Surprising right? Considering I grew up in this mansion, but that was the truth. This place was too sacred, too much of her's to be anyone else.

The butler pushed the doors open

“Your office, Ms Harrington,” he said in a professional voice.

It took a minute to realize he was referring to me and not to my mother. I nodded absentmindedly, after being referred to as Mrs Langston for years, going back to my old name would take a while to stick

I took in a deep breath, the office coming to life before me. So this was where Genevieve spent all her time when she was at home? Running the family business, going over accounts, and proposing deals.

This was where she hid from being a mother to me.

“It's yours now, Ashley,” Genevieve said softly from behind me “All of it is yours”

I didn't turn to her as I took in the spacious office with a big flat screen TV, a circular modern desk, expensive carpet, and a tall bookshelf at the

    ASHLEY'S P.OVI was starting to get scared.I didn't tell Kellan, though; he's been a constant support these past few days while we stayed at the hospital. He has never left, not even once; he made sure I ate all my meals on time and assured me that our daughter would be born fine and healthy.But I was worried still, before now, my daughter usually kicked a lot, I could feel her most of the time because she was mostly awake, but for the past three days we've been here, her movements are slow, not the sharp kicking pain that makes me winceKellan didn’t know about this yet. He was already taking on so much on his shoulders, and I couldn't add this bit. Between planning with July on how to stop Genevieve and receiving calls from Lockar about how his presence was desperately needed, he was already taking too muchKellan was doing everything to make sure our daughter was born into safety. Every time I look at him, my heart aches in my chest, at the faint exhaustion always clouding his fe

    KELLAN'S P.O.VAshley's friends pushed themselves in. They had arrived a few minutes ago with July hushing them all to be calm, that this was a hospital and Ashley was asleep I tried to keep note of their names as they all introduced themselves, but my mind was only focused on Ash.I watched as tears pooled in her eyes as her friends hugged her one by one, handing out a small gift parcel to herUnconsciously, she rested her hand protectively over the swell of her stomach. A warm feeling glided over my chest I loved it when she did that, like she was shielding out daughter from the evil in this world.Our daughter.... My daughter God. My eyes burned and I blinked it away. I was going to be a Dad, I made a baby with the woman I loveAshley and I made a human together. My heart grew wings and stretched wide in my chest, almost to the point where it was difficult to breathe What would I not do for this girl who wasn't even born yet? What wouldn't I give for her and her mother?"Jack

    ASHLEY'S P.O.VI fell asleep again I've been really sleepy since I got here, maybe it's the medication, or just the stress from the emergency I was in, but whatever it was, it dragged me into sleep soon after Kellan leftWhen I woke up, blinking against the white ceiling, I tried to think if the small voices I heard were in the room or just a part of my sleep-induced dreamI tried to sit up, pushing myself on one elbow when a strong hand slid into my back and held my other hand, gently guiding me till my back was against the bedI wiped my eyes with the back of my hand. “Kellan" I was half stunned to see him here.Kellan had changed out of the clothes I last saw on him, even his expression was somewhat different, he reached forward and pushed hair off my face “How are you, Ash?" He asked, still touching my face tenderly. I felt my heart flutter at that nickname.I managed a smile too, taking every detail of his unshaven, drop-dead handsome face down to the plain t-shirt he wore and

    KELLAN'S P.O.VShe was a snake.A power-hungry, evil snake who cared about nothing more than herself and her legacy, not caring that they came at the expense of her daughter's happiness or her husband's life.The last time I had seen Genevieve was a few weeks after my marriage to Ashley, I'd never forget the look of disgust on her face. How she sneered at me and told me I didn't deserve Ashley.She called me a manipulator, saying that I deceived her with empty promises. Genevieve threatened to destroy my up-and-coming career; she said she'd make me suffer.I proved her wrong. I became successful, built everything she said I couldn’t. But the aversion I had towards her never changed.My steps were hurried as I marched towards Ashley's wards, July half running to keep pace with me.When I reached the floor of Ashley’s room, the sight waiting for me made my jaw tighten and my hands ball into a tight fistGenevieve Cece Harrington demanding that he let her into my wife's room.Good thing

    KELLAN’S P.O.VShe caused everything.The cold wall outside Ashley's hospital room bit into my back as I watched the security officers I hired take their positions. Two stationed themselves outside her door. No one I didn't want to was getting close to Ashley and my daughter without my permission.My daughter.God, she was mine. She is mineAll this time, the child Ashley was carrying, caring for alone was mine. My own flesh and blood. My eyes prickled and a tight fist squeezed my heart, making breathing hard. I did, and would have loved that girl, but knowing that she's mine, changes everything.It changes everything.I was going to have a child. I closed my eyes tight just as pressure welled up in them again. Ashley had been asleep for hours. I spent those hours thinking, going over every time over the past few months where we had both hurt each other despite still being obviously in love with one another.I wanted it all to end. Even before coming back to Dallas, I wanted all thi

    ASHLEY’S P.O.VI had lost a baby once.Then, I heard this slow, ominous beeping sound too.Beep. Beep. BeepI'd never get to see that Baby.The world was blurry when I opened my eyes. The ceiling above me was pale white and too bright.A hospital.My throat was tight, and I tried to turn, to shake my head to the side, but I couldn't feel anything. Not my fingers or legs, not my stomach Or even..“My baby." The word tore out of my throat, making me wince as I did. I tried to lift my arms, to rub over the curve of my belly, to assure myself that my daughter was still there, that she hadn't gone too But I couldn't feel anything. I couldn't moveI didn't feel her moving inside me“My baby,” I whispered, warm tears trickling down my face. What had happened? What happened to my daughter? I was supposed to meet her in five weeksDid I lose her too?No, God couldn't be this cruel, right?A big warm hand covered mine. I felt strong, sturdy fingers slide into mine. I felt a loving brush on th
