MICHEAL'S POV

I haven't driven that fast in my entire life. My driver had insisted on taking the wheel, but I couldn’t let anyone else handle it. Not today. Not when my gut told me something was wrong.

When I finally pulled up in front of Kate's apartment building, I barely remembered turning off the engine before rushing out. I got to the entrance and was about to ring the doorbell, but the sight in front of me made me freeze.

The door was already creaked open.

I heard voices, yelling, then…

Ashley’s voice.

A sharp, helpless kind of panic gripped me as I shoved the door open. “What the fuck is going on here?”

And then I saw it.

Ashley—my Ashley—was straddling Kate, her messy, her hand raised in mid-air, her breathing ragged. Kate was screaming beneath her, her face already red and streaked with blood. Liam was behind Ashley, gripping her wrist to drag her off.

For a moment, I couldn't breathe.

What have I done to deserve this from these kids?

Both of them froze when they heard me.

    ASHLEY'S POV I didn't sleep much last night. I tried—God knows I tried—but my mind wouldn't stop replaying the look on Micheal’s face when he walked out. That silence. That heavy, bitter silence that says you've disappointed me more than I can say. I cried until my throat hurt. And when the tears ran out, I just laid there in the dark, staring at the spot on the bed where he usually slept.It's cold. Empty. It's crazy how fast warmth can vanish when love turns into silence.And now I finally understand what he must've felt every time I pushed him away, every time I shut him out, thinking I was doing the right thing. Maybe this is my punishment—to finally know what it's like to be on the receiving end.But still, none of this would've happened if it weren't for her. Kate.That woman had been nothing but trouble since she reappeared. She keeps pretending to be remorseful, pretending she wanted to fix things. I should've known better. I should've trusted my guts.When I glanced at the

    MICHEAL'S POV The moment I walked into the penthouse, Liam was already halfway across the living room, pacing like he'd been waiting for hours.The moment he saw me, the questions followed.“Brother, was she there? Did you get to see her?” he asked immediately, his eyes full of hope and worry.I shook my head, dropped my keys on the counter, and headed straight for the bar.“She's at Jayden's place, but he wouldn't let me see her,” I said, reaching for a glass. “Ashley made sure of that.”The sound of the liquor pouring filled the silence. I downed the shot in one go, letting the burn sit in my chest for a second. I needed it. Anything to keep me sane.Liam sighed, his hands shoved in his pockets.“The only thing you did wrong was not telling her before going to see Kate. This whole thing’s a misunderstanding. She’ll see that eventually.”I poured another shot but didn’t drink it. “Do you think she'll forgive me?”“I do,” he said quietly. “She loves you, Michael. Just…give her time.

    ASHLEY'S POV I was on my phone, chatting with Sophie and Jade, trying to distract myself from the ache sitting heavy in my chest. My eyes were swollen from crying, my head pounding from too much thinking and too little sleep.Then I heard it…Knock, Knock, Knock.I froze.“Ash, please. I know you're in there. Open up. I need to talk to you. It's really important.”That voice.Austin?My stomach tightened. Since I saw that photo of Michael with his ex wife, I'd shut everyone out. I didn't want to talk or even breathe near anyone who'd remind me of him. The only people who knew where I was were my Dad, Sophie, Jade and Austin.I knew Micheal might end up coming here soon, which is why I had to threaten my Dad and made him promise not to let him in.He knocked again, louder this time. “Ashley, please.”I sighed, dragging myself off the bed. I unlocked the door and saw him staring down at me with worry in his eyes. “Can I come in?” He asked. “Please, it's important.”I stepped aside fo

    MICHEAL'S POV It's been three fucking days. Three fucking days since I woke up half naked in hotel room I don't remember walking into. Three days since Ashley walked out of my life without a word. Three days since I've been losing my goddamn mind trying to find her.I've called her friends. Her assistant. I even showed up at her office. Nothing. She's four months pregnant with my child and she's out there alone with no one to watch her.The thought alone makes my heart ache painfully in my chest. I grabbed the nearest glass on my desk and hurled it at the wall. It shattered like my patience, raining down in tiny, glittering pieces.“Where the fuck could she be?” I growled, pacing like a caged animal.The door creaked open behind me and Liam stepped in, scanning the wrecked office before his eyes landed on me.“Brother,” he said carefully. “You need to calm down. You've destroyed enough of this place to open a new furniture store. You haven't slept in three days. You'll pass out befo

    MICHEAL'S POV As soon as Ashley left, the house was anything but quiet. Dax and Liam were at it again—arguing, teasing, throwing harmless insults across the room while pretending to hang the curtains and fix the lights. Both of them turned a simple renovation into a full-blown competition, and this time, the goal was ridiculous: let's see whose design Ashley would love the most.I barely listened. My focus drifted in and out, caught between the hammering of nails and echoing of her laughter in my head. The questions keep going through my head. Was she in a good mood now? Has she eaten? Did she drink enough water? I knew I'd already called her three times since she left, but it didn't stop me from reaching for my phone again. It wasn't an obsession. I'm just worried. I just needed to make sure she's okay.Before I could dial her line, the phone buzzed in my hand.Kate.The name alone twisted something in my chest. I ignored it and shoved the phone back into my pocket. But it rang ag
