The sun had begun its slow descent when Sienna finally set the last folded shirt into her wardrobe. Her room still smelled faintly of new paint and fresh linen, but with every careful touch she added, it became less like a stranger’s and more like hers.

She smoothed the sheets until they lay crisp, tucked a sprig of lavender on the bedside table, and placed the framed photograph of Her, Adrian and the kids from the day at the amusement park sat at the heart of the room — her anchor. Their smiles, caught in mid-laughter, seemed to watch her with a kind of innocent encouragement.

She sat back on the edge of her bed, brushing her palms across her jeans, and let out a slow breath. Outside, the hostel was alive with noise. Voices spilled through the hallway — laughter, footsteps, a burst of music quickly shushed by someone more responsible. The air carried a crackle of anticipation, the kind that only came with first days.

Sienna opened her door and stepped out, curiosity tugging her for

  • Signed Sealed and Divorced. The CEO’s biggest regret   Chapter Hundred Fifty-Five (Final Chapter)

    A few days later, Layla woke to quiet.Not the fragile, Not the kind of quiet that scared her or made her uncertain, not the kind that felt like it might shatter if you breathed wrong, but the ordinary kind. Morning quiet. The kind with distant traffic hum and the soft whir of the refrigerator down the hall.The last few days have been a whirlwind of emotions for her. From getting a call that a gallery was bought and paid in full in her name to Voss hiring a Hispanic young maid who could take care of her while he was away from work, to experiencing morning sickness, something she could not find herself getting used to. It was a whole lot of confusing but in a good way. She was content. She lay there for a moment, staring at the ceiling, letting that sink in.Her body still felt… different. Slower. Like it had learned something about itself and hadn’t quite gone back to the way it used to move. She shifted carefully, one hand instinctively finding her stomach, palm warm against herse

    Sienna reached for Layla before anyone could say a word. Her arm moved slowly, like it wasn’t sure it would make it all the way, fingers trembling as they searched the air. Layla saw it out of the corner of her eye and froze for half a second, not because she didn’t want to move, but because she was suddenly afraid that if she moved too fast, this would disappear. Like a dream you wake up from too suddenly. Then Sienna whispered her name. “Layla…” That was all it took. Layla got up from the wheel chair and walked across the room in two quick steps and leaned over the bed, wrapping her arms around Sienna carefully, adjusting her weight so she didn’t press against any tubes or wires. Sienna clung to her immediately, weak arms locking around Layla’s shoulders like she’d been waiting for this exact moment to let go. They both started crying right away. Not loud. Not dramatic. Just soft, broken sobs that shook their thin bodies, the kind that come from holding too much inside for t

    The word didn’t echo. It didn’t need to. Pregnant. It sat heavy in the room, pressing down on Layla’s chest until breathing felt like work. She stared at the ceiling, eyes unfocused, following a faint crack in the paint like it might explain how everything had tilted so fast. Pregnant? That didn’t make sense. It didn’t fit anywhere in the careful structure of her life. She was on birth control. She never missed a day. She’d checked. Double-checked. She had spreadsheets for less important things. Her heart started racing again, not the dangerous kind this time, but the loud, spiraling kind. What about Elara?The job she was given just four days to think about. The job needed her to travel how exactly was she going to do that if she was pregnant?? How did this even happen. Her parents. God. Her parents. Would they be disappointed? Shocked? Quiet in that way that hurt worse than yelling?She knew they were not totally liberal or conservative either. They were traditional Jews

    Voss realized it the moment the doctor stopped walking and turned to face them. The walls seemed to close in, the white lights too sharp, too bright. Even the air felt thinner, like there wasn’t enough of it to breathe. The doctor cleared his throat. “We ran the extended panel,” he said carefully, as if each word needed permission before leaving his mouth. “Including the rare strain we were worried about.” Adrian leaned in immediately, shoulders stiff, eyes locked on the doctor. He hadn’t sat down since the bleeding started again. His hands were shaking, but he didn’t notice. He didn’t even blink. “And?” he asked. The doctor glanced at the clipboard, then looked back up. “We found a match.” The word landed like a hammer. Heavy. Loud. Echoing down the narrow hallway. “A… a match?” Adrian repeated, disbelief cracking open into something dangerously close to hope. “You’re sure?” “Yes,” the doctor said. “Perfect compatibility.” Perfect. The word hung there, fragile, trembling, a

    The corridor swallowed Voss whole.One moment he was there, solid, tall, controlled despite the tension vibrating off him and the next, the automatic doors slid shut behind his back with a soft hiss that felt louder than it should have. Layla stood where he left her, fingers curled around the strap of her bag like it was the only thing anchoring her to the floor.The air felt different immediately.He always did that. Took space with him when he moved. Left a quiet behind that made everything else feel louder, heavier. The beeping machines. The low murmur of voices. The squeak of rubber soles against polished hospital floors.Layla exhaled slowly, realizing she’d been holding her breath.Waiting had never been her strength.She shifted her weight from one foot to the other and looked around, unsure what to do with her hands, her thoughts, her fear. This part of the hospital was too white, too clean. The kind of place where life and death brushed shoulders quietly while the rest of the

    Layla jerked awake from her half sleep trying to figure out whom the voice belonged to. Her chest heaved as she turned toward the voice, and then reality hit her. It wasn’t a nurse it was Voss. He looked… exhausted. Worn out in a way she had never seen before. There were dark shadows under his eyes, his hair slightly mussed, his suit rumpled from what she assumed was a long day and an even longer night. “Voss!” she cried, rushing to him, her heels clicking sharply against the sterile tiles. “Voss, what’s going on? Where is Sienna? Where are the twins? How come no one called me?” Voss’s eyes widened at the sight of her, relief washing over his features. He ran a hand through his hair, shoulders sagging slightly. “Layla… thank God you’re here,” he said, voice tight, low with stress. “My phone has been dead, and at this point, I don’t even know where exactly it is. I’ve been trying to get a hold of you.” Layla’s gaze flicked to the nurse nearby. She could see the guilty tilt of her h
