JamesMy jaw tightened as I strode through the airport, my bodyguards parting the crowd like Moses parting the Red Sea. Zelda. Where was she?Her flight was in two hours, and weโd locked down every exit. She couldn't have just vanished."Sir, all flights to Europe are waiting in Terminal 3. Your wife's flight should take off in two hours. We have already blocked all entrances and exits, but we haven't found your wife yet," the bodyguard reported, his voice tight with concern.My face was like thunder."Keep looking!" I barked, waving them off.My eyes scanned the sea of faces, searching for her. She had to be here. Two hours wasn't enough time to get far.A knot of anxiety tightened in my gut. Had she even arrived? I knew international flights boarded early. My gaze snagged on a tall figure talking to a woman near the gate. A surge of rage, hot and possessive, flooded me.Hammer Yassir. That snake.I stalked towards them, my blood pounding in my ears. I grabbed his shoulder and spun h

ZeldaNo!There was no way I would leave with James Ferguson obediently. The moment his grip tightened around me, I instinctively grabbed onto the armrest of my seat and screamed."I wonโt leave! Help! I donโt know him!"My voice echoed through the cabin, desperate, pleading. I turned my head, hopingโprayingโthat someone would intervene.But the plane was silent.Dozens of eyes were locked on us, wide with shock, yet no one moved. No one even whispered.Then I saw why.Behind James stood the captain and crew members, their expressions calm, almost indifferent. Flanking them were several men in blackโhis bodyguards. And then it hit me.The captain had personally opened the cabin door for him.A chill ran down my spine. Even a fool would knowโthis was a man no one dared to cross.Still, I refused to believe that everyone here feared power. There had to be someone willing to help. I opened my mouth to plead againโBut before I could, James leaned down, his breath hot against my ear."Don

But then, the memory of that night with Susan Wenger flashed through my mind.The birth control pills heโd forced me to take the next day, his sharp frown, the coldness in his eyesโฆ Heโd said if I got pregnant, Iโd have toโฆ No. I couldn't gamble with this.

JamesThe warmth that had softened my features vanished, replaced by a coldness that mirrored the storm inside me. I lifted her chin, forcing her to look at me. Her eyes were still moist, her cheeks flushed, her lips swollenโฆ reminders of what had just happened.But the tenderness I felt, the lingering passion, was instantly extinguished. She was already pulling away, already planning her escape.It was like a bucket of ice water had been thrown over me. The chill seeped into my bones, fueling a white-hot rage.I tightened my grip on her jaw, my voice dropping to a low, dangerous growl."Back to the airport?" I sneered. "I told you, you're not going anywhere without my permission."Her eyes widened a flicker of confusion and hurt crossing her face. She frowned, wincing slightly at my grip."Butโฆ you promised," she stammered. "You saidโฆ"I raised an eyebrow, a cruel smile twisting my lips.

JamesI carried Zelda back to the villa, her sleep undisturbed. A doctor was waiting in the living room. I nodded to her, a brief acknowledgement, and carried Zelda upstairs, the doctor following close behind. I laid her gently on the bed, then stepped back, whispering to the doctor,"Be gentle. Don't wake her."The doctor, an obstetrician, had been called out late at night. I knew sheโd been prepared for some kind of emergency. Iโd painted a vague picture of a potential pregnancy complication. But nowโฆ the situation was far different than what sheโd expected.She nodded a flicker of something unreadable in her eyes and approached the bed to examine Zelda.I watched, my gaze fixed on her, an oppressive weight in my chest. When the doctor finished and came out of the room, I was waiting."How is she?" I asked, my voice tight."Don't worry, Mr. Ferguson," she reassured me."Mrs. Ferguson and the baby are both fine. She's exhausted, though. Very weak. She'll need to take better care of h

I brushed my teeth, James standing beside me, watching. I glanced at him, surprised."Aren't you going to brush your teeth?" I asked, then looked at the toiletries beside mine. And thatโs when it hit me. This was the Mansion, ourโฆ my and Jamesโs old home. When I left, Iโd only packed clothes. Nothing else.And yet, here were all my things: my towel, toothbrush, mouthwash cup, comb, cosmeticsโฆ even the two hairbands I always used, hanging on the hook. It was as if Iโd never left.No, that wasnโt right. Something had changed. Next to my things were his. His toiletries were placed neatly beside mine. Tall and short, big and small, all in pairs.

"What if I insist on leaving?" I demanded, pushing past the servants.They immediately formed a human wall, blocking my way."Madam," one of them pleaded, tears welling up in her eyes. "Iโm a single mother. My childโs father is a gambler and an alcoholic. I have no one to rely on. Itโs hard to find a job. Please, have pity on me.""My wife is very kind," the other servant chimed in.

ChengChen Ting never thought a single day could be so exhausting.Assigned by James Ferguson to be the Women's Director for a day, he had spent the entire time surrounded by the relentless energy of the company's female employees. The experience had drained every ounce of his patience, leaving him on the verge of collapse.Now, he had only one mission: to make sure the CEO succeeds in pursuing his wife as soon as possibleโso that his mental state remains stable.It was a matter of survival.So, Cheng didnโt hold back. He went all out, even biting the tip of his tongue to force out a few tears. The moment they fell, he saw Zelda Liamson freeze.For a brief second, her expression was unreadableโlike her mind had completely shut down.Then, she sneered."Assistant Cheng," she said slowly, her voice laced with scepticism.

ZeldaAs the door shut, James exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair. His body was tense, his fists clenched at his sides.James stood motionless, staring at the door, his jaw clenched so tightly that I thought he might break.Mr Ferguson was the first to speak, his voice firm but not unkind.โJames, I know youโre angry, but sheโs still your mother.โJames let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head. โStill my mother?โ His voice wavered. โWhat kind of mother does this to her child? What kind of mother lets him suffer for years and thenโthen when the truth comes out, she refuses to even acknowledge it?โHis father sighed, rubbing a hand down his face. โSheโs scared, James. Scared of losing everything sheโs built, scared of what the truth means.โJames turned on him, pained.โAnd what about me? Does she care how scared I was? How much I lost? How I spent years believing I was the mistake, that everything that went wrong was somehow my fault?โHelenโs voice trembled from the doorw

ZeldaI sit on the edge of the bed, staring at the divorce papers I had once been so ready to sign. My hands rest over my stomach, where our childโmy childโgrows.I told myself I wouldn't cry over James Ferguson again. But here I am, my heart still aching in ways I wish it wouldn't.He had always been my saviour. When I was just a scared thirteen-year-old girl, lost and alone, James had taken me in. I admired him, idolized him. But then admiration turned into something else. Love. The kind that consumed me, that I could never shake off, no matter how hard I tried.But James had never seen me that way.First, it was Susan Wenger... I watched as he gave everything to Susan, how he smiled at her the way I had always wished he would look at me. And when Susan was gone, I thoughtโmaybeโjust maybe, James would see me.But then came Luoxing.And that had been the final proof I needed to know the truth. I was never going to be James's first choice.That was why I decided to leave. I refused t

JamesThe Bai estate was as grand as ever, standing as a symbol of power, wealth, and the history that bound our families together.Or so I thought.I stepped inside without hesitation. No one stopped me. They never would. For years, I had been welcomed here like a son.I had thought I was.But tonight, the weight of betrayal clung to me like a second skin, suffocating, inescapable and true.As I entered the main hall, I found them all gatheredโMr. Bai, Mrs. Bai, and their daughter, Bai Luoxing.The moment they saw me, Luoxing was the first to react. She stood up, her eyes filled with something between relief and hesitation."James!"I lifted a hand to my head, stopping her in her tracks.She hesitated, then slowly sat back down, casting a quick glance toward her mother.Mrs Bai, ever composed, sat calmly at the head of the table, an air of relaxed control around her. She didnโt look surprised to see me.She probably didnโt know that I knew everything.Mr. Bai, on the other hand, was

JamesA slow, numbing realization crept over me, drowning out everything else.The Bai family hadnโt just manipulated me.They had shaped my entire life."They couldnโt just bring Luoxing back," Dom continued, his voice low. "Not when the whole world was looking for her. Not when they hadn't gotten anything from their attempt. So they kept her hidden, cared for her, made sure no one found her."I barely heard him. My mind was already racing ahead, connecting pieces I had never thought to question before."But the Ferguson familyโ" My voice caught. "We never stopped searching for her.""And thatโs exactly what they wanted."I snapped my gaze to him."Think about it, James." Dom leaned forward, the dim light casting sharp shadows on his face."Your parents. Your grandmother. You. You were all drowning in guilt, haunted by the loss of a little girl you thought you failed to protect. You clung to Madame Bai and saw her as a second mother because she was grieving too. She played her role p

JamesThe air in the car was filled with tension, Zelda's rigid posture and clenched phone screaming her silent fury at me. I deserved itโevery bit of her anger, every cold shoulder. But damn if it didn't carve a hollow ache in my chest.Then my phone buzzed, slicing through the suffocating quiet.I answered, and within seconds, the tension in my shoulders eased."We found Dom."The words sent a rush of grim satisfaction through me. Finally. After all the hunting, all the dead endsโwe had him.My grip tightened on the phone. "Alive?""Barely. He's talking."Good.I glanced at Zelda, still stubbornly turned away from me, her reflection faint in the window. This changed everything. With Dom's testimony, the Bai family's carefully constructed lies would crumble.But firstโ"Keep him secure. I'll be there soon."Hanging up, I studied Zelda's profile. She thought this was about the divorce. About me stalling.She had no idea the storm that was coming.And for once, I'd be the one to shield

Mom knows your heart is too softโyou would have stopped me if you knew."Then she lifted her chin, her blind eyes fixed in my direction with eerie precision."James, I only helped your wife leave because she wanted to. I didnโt want you two to become bitter enemies. You may not understand my intentions, but the truth is, this all started with her desire to run. Luoxing is innocent."Innocent.The word tasted like ash."So sending men to hunt her downโwas that also a favour?" My voice was lethally quiet.Madam Baiโs wrinkled face twisted in feigned confusion."Hunt her? James, I only sent people to find her after she disappeared! For her safety! And my nephewโwhere is Dom? Did you see him?"Zelda stiffened beside me. I could almost hear the furious drum of her heartbeat.I stared at the woman who had once been like a second mother to me.Even now, faced with the trut

Not painful, but sharp, like a tiny jolt of electricity.My head snapped up, eyes wide."Was thatโฆ Littleton?"Zeldaโs lips curled, amusement flickering in her gaze before she pressed them flat again."Littletonโs here to teach you some manners," she said dryly.Of course, it was Littleton.Even in the womb, my kid couldnโt stand watching their shameless father grovelling like this and decided to intervene.A stunned laugh caught in my throat.I stared at the slight swell of her belly, then slowly raised my hand, pressing my fingers where Iโd been kicked. The impact had been soft, muted by layers of flesh and fluid, but it sent a current straight through my chest.My heart hammeredโnot from fever, but s

Not anymore.I didnโt dare to force her, didnโt dare to manipulate things behind her back like I used to. One wrong move, and sheโd slip even further from my grasp.And then there was Dom. Until he was dealt with, she wasnโt safe here."Donโt worry," I said, my voice steady despite the storm inside me. "Iโll fulfil your wish this time. Consider itโฆ compensation for the wedding."That damned wedding. My fault. All of it.Maybe ending this marriage was the only way to truly start over. She looked at me then, her eyes searching mine, and for the first time, she saw itโmy resolve. No tricks, no games.

Even I was only guessing. Did James... already know it was them?My eyes widened in shock. "You knew? Bai Luoxing helped me leave the country, and the Bai family has been hunting me since I landedโ"His face darkened at the mention of my escape. "How else do you think I found you?"I pressed my lips together, then let out a cold laugh."Well, color me surprised. I thought even if I accused the Bai family, you'd assume I was just smearing their name out of spite."The pain that flashed across his face was sharp enough to almost make me regret my words. Almost.His chest heaved, and before I could react, his hand shot out, gripping the back of my
