LOGINStefan raises a skeptical brow."And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering."Shitty fathers. A pointed pause hangs in the air."The only difference between us is that you are an illegitimate child, and I am not". Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they will not see coming". She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine."Our fathers stole our birthrights. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance."No divorces. If we are doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. She would not give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit ................. Mia Meyers was born to rule her father's empire , until he named his bastard son heir instead.

Chapter 192Hours stretched, each contraction stronger than the last. Mia's world narrowed to just the pain and Stefan's voice cutting through it, anchoring her, reminding her why she was doing this. She could feel his fear in the way his hand trembled slightly against her forehead, could hear his love in every whispered encouragement.And then, at last, the air filled with the sharp, miraculous cry of new life.Mia collapsed back against the pillows, tears spilling down her cheeks before she could even think to stop them. Stefan leaned over her, his lips pressing against her damp forehead, his own tears slipping free before he could stop them. His shoulders shook and he didn't care who saw, didn't care about anything except the sound of that cry.The nurse placed a tiny, swaddled bundle in Mia's arms. She looked down, her breath catching so hard it hurt, her vision blurring with tears. "A girl," she whispered, her voice breaking. "Stefan, she's perfect."Stefan leaned close, stari
Chapter 191The family sat in silence, Elizabeth’s words echoing in their minds. Mia looked at Stefan, her hand tight in his, her thoughts on the future, on their baby, on the truth they’d just uncovered. Ethan stared at the fire, his jaw set, thinking of his both parents. Elena paced, her mind already plotting, determined to dig into Jeremiah’s past. Sienna watched them all, her tea cold, her thoughts on her father, on what he might do next.Elizabeth picked up her knitting again, her needles clicking, but her eyes were distant, carrying the weight of a story she’d kept for too long. The past wasn’t gone, not for any of them, and the shadows of Jeremiah and Samuel’s rivalry stretched longer than they’d ever imagined.Mia placed both hands on her belly and felt the baby kick. Whatever happened next she would protect her child from the sins of their grandfathers. This cycle of revenge and hatred would end with her generation.But even as she made that promise to herself she couldn't
Chapter 190Stefan turned from the window and his eyes were moist, Mia heart ached for him.He was the one that had to feel the heat if the rivalry mostly.He was still a baby when it all started. Their fathers are both trash."I went home that afternoon," Elizabeth said. "And two days later, Samuel came to see me. He looked different, clean-shaven, dressed in an expensive suit I'd never seen before. He sat in my living room and he told me he'd found a way forward. That he'd met someone who could help him fight back.""My mother," Mia whispered."Your mother," Elizabeth confirmed. "She was the only daughter to her parents, who were one of the billionaires. They had old money, lots of it. Samuel had met her at some charity event the day before and he'd charmed her completely.
