Carlisle

“Dada! Mommy said she’ll see you later, but I told her it should be now!” he declared, completely oblivious to the suffocating tension between us.

Reigna let out a slow breath, reaching up to smooth his hair with a trembling hand. “Sweetheart,” she murmured, her voice soft, tired. “Maybe another time, okay?”

Another time.

I clenched my jaw, stepping further into the room. “Erwin, come here,” I said, my voice quiet, measured.

He pouted but obeyed, slipping off the bed and running over to me. I placed a hand on his head, smoothing down his curls, before finally shifting my gaze back to Reigna.

She was already looking away.

It irritated me more than it should have.

"You’ve been in here all morning," I said evenly, my eyes never leaving her. "And now you’re avoiding breakfast. How long are you planning to keep this up?"

Reigna flinched, but she masked it quickly, schooling her features into a calm, unreadable expression. "I just need time," she said, echoing the same words she ha

  • Seven Minutes in Heaven   SPECIAL CHAPTER: EXCHANGE OF WORDS

    [RED WARNING]Reigna and Carlisle stood together in the living room of his penthouse, a sense of relief washing over them after the grueling custody battle with Violet had finally come to a close. They had emerged victorious, and now Erwin was fast asleep in his room, oblivious to the emotional turmoil of the past few weeks.Carlisle pulled Reigna close, his strong arms enveloping her as he pressed a tender kiss to her forehead. If this were any other day, Reigna would’ve swallowed the urge to lean in and try to remind herself that whatever they have right now…is still unnamed, unofficial, and not hers yet.But tonight is different."We did it, princess," he murmured, his deep voice laced with satisfaction and love—a tone no one could deny. "Erwin is safe with us now."Reigna leaned into his embrace, her eyes shining with unshed tears of joy and exhaustion. "I can't believe it's over," she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. "I was so afraid we'd lose him."Carlisle shook his hea

    VioletNever in this plan had I considered the possibility of defeat—but here I am, tasting one."You assured me this would be clean, so work and make it happen before I punish you myself," he’d speak in pure dissatisfaction, his face a mask of bitter disappointment. "Never forget how much shame you’ve brought to the Harrington name." Mother, usually my fiercest defender, now regarded me with a chilly silence, her elegant features pinched with mortification. If she were to speak, it would only be about her detachment. “Fix this mess before my next gala this coming Saturday, Violet.”But they shouldn’t cast me aside. Not yet. Erwin was still my son.The custody battle had become my last stand, the final arena where I could prove my worth, reclaim some semblance of control. We had launched a desperate counter-campaign, arguing that the footage was taken out of context, that I was under extreme emotional duress.It was a flimsy defense, but it was all I had left.And now, today is the d

    ReignaThe world outside the hospital had been a maelstrom of flashing lights and shouts, but stepping into our home felt like entering a different dimension entirely.The cool, quiet air of the house, the familiar scent of wood polish and faint lingering vanilla from Lucy's baking, wrapped around me like a warm embrace.Erwin’s joyful screams and the feeling of his little arms tight around my neck were the only sounds that truly mattered. He was a warm, vibrant weight in my lap as Carlisle carefully wheeled me into the living room."Mommy, look!" Erwin immediately began pulling toys from a overflowing basket, presenting them like precious offerings. "My new car! And my superhero!""Easy there, buddy," he murmured to Erwin, gently taking the basket from his hand. "Mommy needs to rest that leg. And don’t crowd her space too much, she might get overwhelmed."He adjusted the pillows behind me on the sofa, his movements precise, almost like a strict caretaker who wouldn’t even allow me to

    Emma“This is absolute hell!”The news alert flashed across my phone screen, mocking me.Amoroso & Amethyst Charges DROPPED! New Evidence Emerges. Harrington Narrative Challenged?!My breath hitched, a gasp of pure, unadulterated disbelief. Dropped? How? It was impossible! “Just yesterday, the headlines were all about Violet’s praises, condemning her!” I pace around the living room, anxiety crippling inside like unsettling nausea.“It is always HER!” Reigna this, Reigna that! Always Reigna, somehow pulling herself out of every mess, always landing on her feet!It wasn't fair. It was never fair. All my life, I'd been the one everyone looked at first."Emma, you're so beautiful!" "Emma, you're so confident!" Mama’s favorite and Papa’s pride, always showered with compliments, always the center of attention. But somehow, Reigna always got the real prizes. The deep admiration. The unwavering loyalty. The kind of love that wasn't just about appearances.She has people who will always reme

    VioletThe champagne had barely lost its fizz. The headlines, just yesterday, screamed my vindication: Violet Harrington: Heroic Escapee, Survivor of Kidnap Attempt. My social media was awash with sympathy and praise.“I think any day next week will be our fateful day for you to meet your grandson, mother, father.” I sat at my opulent dining table, picking at a perfectly seared scallop, the delicate flavor turning to ash in my mouth. Across from me, my father, Robert Harrington, read through a legal brief, his expression as unreadable as ever.My mother, Vivienne Harrington, sipped her wine, her manicured hand gesturing vaguely towards the news channel playing silently on the massive flat-screen across the room. My triumphant image flashed across the screen for the dozenth time."Good job, dear. See, Robert?" Mother purred, her voice a low, satisfied hum."I told you Violet knows how to handle things. This is exactly what we needed for the custody case. Public opinion, firmly on our s

  • Seven Minutes in Heaven   NINETY-NINE

    ErwinThe sun was still sleepy outside, just starting to peek over the big buildings when I heard the familiar rumble of Dada’s car pulling up the long driveway. “Wow! They’re home!” I pressed my face against the cool glass of the living room window, my breath fogging the pane.“Nanny Lucy! Nanny Lucy! Look!”I hurriedly ran to where my nanny is. Nanny Lucy was humming softly in the kitchen, making my special smiley-face pancakes. She always hums when she’s happy, a little tune that bounces off the shiny tiles.But today, her hum felt extra-happy.Giggling because she seemed as happy as I am, I ran back to the living room where all my toys are still messily scattered—this is because dada said no phones or tablets or TV! So, I am building my own army and be the best sautergist (strategist, really) there is!I am now on the plush rug, surrounded by my favorite colorful blocks, diligently building the tallest tower ever. I am building everything for Mommy so she could praise me when they
