“No…” I muttered under my breath, rising to my feet a little too quickly.

My mind raced, searching for something… anything to cover what she had just overheard.

“It’s… it’s a friend of mine,” I said quickly, forcing my voice to steady. “She meant she’ll take care of my goddaughter.”

There was a brief pause as I swallowed hard.

“Yes… that’s it.” I forced a small, shaky smile, hoping she wouldn’t question further.

“Ohh…” she exhaled slowly, relief softening her face. “Alright then.”

    “He was…” I trailed off as two figures began walking toward us.I blinked, my vision swimming slightly.My brows furrowed. “Who are you both?” I snapped, my voice sharper than I intended.“That’s Marcus.” Derek’s voice came twice.I frowned.Why are there two of both Derek and Marcus?Both versions of Derek spoke at the same time, their lips moving in eerie sync before turning toward Marcus. “Grab her bag.”Before I could question it, I was being guided away. One Derek held my arm while the other steadied me, and together they led me to the car. The door opened, and they helped me slide into the seat.Then… somehow, they were both inside with me, both holding my left hand as if I might slip away.The engine roared to life, and the driver sped off.“Where are we going…? Home?” I asked, a soft giggle slipping out as I glanced between the two identical faces.“Yes, we’re heading home,” they answered in perfect unison.I laughed quietly. “Home?”Both didn’t respond.I leaned back, my head

    Liora’s POVDerek scooped Aurora into his arms in one swift motion, gently stroking her hair as her sobs gradually subsided.“I… I didn’t…” My words faltered.He didn’t even spare me a glance. His entire focus remained on Aurora as he murmured softly to her, soothing her cries.Without a word, he carried her out, heading straight for her bedroom.I stood frozen, watching them disappear.“I didn’t mean to leave her…” I whispered, my voice barely audible.The weight of it all hit me at once. I sank onto the couch, exhaustion crashing over me.“Ah…” A shaky breath escaped my lips as I leaned back, waiting.Minutes later, footsteps echoed and quickly I pushed myself to my feet just as Derek walked in. His jaw was clenched, his expression as rigid as ever.“I’m… I’m sorry,” I stammered, my fingers tightening against my dress. “I didn’t realize how long I was gone… I thought she’d be fine for a moment.”He said nothing at first as he simply sat down.“How is she?” I asked cautiously, worry

    Liora’s POV“Sure, it’s fine. You don’t have to explain everything… it’s your private life,” I said, the words slipping out more casually than I intended.“What private life?” Bianca’s small, puzzled voice interrupted.My heart skipped.What did I just say?I quickly forced a smile. “No, Rora… I mean, we are Daddy’s private life, but he still has meetings to attend sometimes.”“Oh…” she nodded slowly, accepting it with innocent logic.“I’m going to miss Daddy… a little bit,” she added softly, resting her small hand against my lap. “Because I have you here.”Oh, Aurora… you’re such a darling.My chest tightened with warmth as I lifted her into my arms.“I see someone has replaced me,” Derek’s amused voice said from the doorway.I turned slightly to find him leaning against the frame, arms folded, a playful glint in his eyes as he deliberately looked away.“No!” Aurora protested immediately, twisting in my arms to face him. “You’re both my parents, and I love you both equally!”Her tiny

    Liora’s POVI sat in the living room quietly as my phone buzzed sharply against the sofa.The sound snapped my attention, and I reached for it, my breath catching the moment I saw Ava’s name on the screen.[Hi ma’am, I just spoke with Mr. Grey.][Please, can I call you now?]My fingers tightened around the phone as a heavy unease settled in my chest.Slowly, I opened my contacts and hovered over her number. I was about to dial when the sound of approaching footsteps echoed through the hallway.I froze as the door creaked open.Derek stepped in with Aurora; he had just picked her up from school.“Mummy!” Aurora’s voice rang out.I quickly locked my phone and placed it face-down on the chair before rising to meet her. She ran straight into my arms, and I lifted her effortlessly.“Rora,” I said softly, forcing warmth into my voice, “how was school today? Did you learn well?”Her face lit up. “Yes, Mummy! I answered most of my teacher’s questions.” She beamed. “And I made a friend, a new

    Author’s POVLucien strode toward them.“Hey, man,” James greeted casually.But the stranger said nothing. His gaze remained fixed on Lucien, sharp and searching, as though sifting through fragments of memory.“I’ve met you before…” he finally said.Lucien frowned slightly, confusion flickering across his features. “I don’t think so.”“You know him?” James asked, glancing between them, clearly taken aback.“Yes,” the man replied, nodding with certainty. “I met him during a business meeting… with Mrs. Liora.” His eyes shifted back to Lucien. “You’re her husband, right?” the man pressed. “Where is she?”Lucien’s jaw tightened. “That’s none of your concern.”The man studied him, a faint smirk forming. “I see… things didn’t end well.”“James, meet me inside,” Lucien said curtly, brushing past them without another glance.The moment he stepped into the house, he dropped onto the sofa, dragging a hand through his hair as he exhaled sharply.“Why does everyone insist on reminding me of that

    Author’s POV*The next day*Stephanie guided Elara into the living room, her grip firm yet careful as she helped her settle onto the sofa.Elara leaned back, exhaustion evident in the way her shoulders slumped.“Mum… I’m starving,” she murmured weakly.“I’ll get you something,” Stephanie replied, turning toward the kitchen.But the moment she stepped inside, she froze. The kitchen was completely bare; no groceries… no leftovers, not even a crumb.Her expression darkened instantly. Jaw tightening, she spun on her heels and marched out, heading straight for Lucien’s room.Her knock was harsh, almost a bang.Inside, Lucien flinched, startled as he hastily arranged his belongings into a bag.“Who is it?” he called, moving toward the door.He opened it, and the moment he saw Stephanie, his chest tightened.“You… you’re back already?” he asked, his voice strained.“Obviously,” she snapped. “Or did you expect us to stay at the hospital forever while you came home to relax?”Her eyes burned w
