The Antidote To His Ruin Chapter 62
Suzan’s POVSarah walked into the kitchen a moment later, having changed into a comfortable sweater, smelling faintly of her favorite lavender lotion. "Do you need a hand with anything, Suzan?""Nope, almost everything is ready to serve."She looked over at Edward, surprised. "Look who's finally awake.""Regrettably," Edward smirked.Sarah chuckled. "You look much better.""I feel better." She glanced at the spread on the counter. "Did you really cook all of this yourself, Suzan?"I raised an eyebrow at her. "Did you doubt me?""Maybe just a little bit," she teased with a smile.I handed her a stack of ceramic plates. "Fine. Put yourself to work and set the dining table.""Gladly."As Sarah began setting the table, Edward casually reached over and pinched a piece of roasted vegetable straight off the baking sheet."Edward!" I caught him red-handed.He froze mid-chew, looking utterly innocent. "What?""Are you seriously eating the food before we even sit down?""No."I pointed at the e

Suzan’s POVBy the time Emerald was cleared for discharge, the hospital had begun to settle into its quiet evening rhythm. The corridors grew still, the chaotic rush of the afternoon fading into the muted hum of monitors and the muffled, rhythmic footsteps of nurses moving between rooms.I stood near the doorway while Sarah gathered the last of Emerald’s things. My daughter was dressed in her cozy sweater and little denim pants, her soft curls slightly tousled after a long day in the hospital bed. She looked exhausted, but a bright, radiant smile lit up her face.Mostly because Draven was still there.He had stayed far longer than necessary, long enough for her to fall asleep with her tiny hand tightly curled around his finger.Now, as we prepared to leave, I watched him gently help her into her little jacket."You're missing something," he murmured softly.Emerald looked down at her chest. "What?"He reached out, his long fingers gently pulling the zipper all the way up to her chin.

Suzan’s POVThe sound of the heavy door opening filled the space.Sarah was standing beside me. She had been quietly intervening all morning, making sure I didn't slip back into reading the viral comment sections online. As if I could simply look away.My daughter's face was plastered across the internet. A photograph taken right outside a hospital, without my permission, was being dissected by total strangers who knew nothing about her, her life, or her safety. Every time my phone buzzed against my palm, a cold knot tightened in my gut.For five long years, I had built a fortress around Emerald. I had protected her from invasive questions, from flashing cameras, and from a world that had no right to lay claim to her.Now, that carefully guarded sanctuary was crumbling. The secret I had held onto with every fiber of my being was slipping through my fingers, and a terrifying realization settled over me.Perhaps soon I would have to let go of the truth I have been holding on to.I tu

Cassandra 's POV His eyes flicked briefly toward Suzan, gauging her reaction, before returning to mine. "All right."I turned and led the way out, pushing the heavy door open. Draven stepped out behind me, the door clicking firmly shut behind us, cutting off the hospital room.The moment we were alone in the quiet corridor, I let out a long, controlled breath. I had expected to feel victorious after asserting my place in front of Suzan. Instead, an eerie, lingering unease settled over me.Draven crossed his arms, staring down at me. "What is this about, Cassandra?"I turned to face him fully. For a fleeting second, the urge to confront him directly rushed through me. I wanted to scream at him about the viral photograph, about Emerald's undeniable resemblance, about my terrifying suspicion that the entire world was about to uncover a truth that would destroy me.But I checked myself. Not yet. Don't lose control.That was the wrong strategy. If I showed panic now, I would look guilty.
The Antidote To His Ruin Chapter 58
Cassandra’s POVThe published photograph had been posted to create total chaos.It had. Just not the kind I expected.I sat in front of my laptop screen, staring fixedly as the comment feed rolled continuously beneath the side-by-side images of Emerald and Draven.At first, the play had unfolded precisely as designed. People were speculating, shareholders were questioning, and the media cycle had shifted away from the Sterling drug formulation controversy to feast on Draven’s personal affairs. It was supposed to be a brilliant, messy distraction.Then Becky called. And Lizzy phoned immediately after.Now, the little girl I had used as cheap leverage was morphing into the most dangerous threat to my entire existence."Cassy?" Becky’s voice broke through the hum of the apartment.I didn't answer. I couldn't tear my eyes away from the display.She stepped closer, tapping the screen. "Cassandra.""What?""Look at this one." She held her phone directly in front of my face.It was a fresh

Draven’s POVI stared down at Edward’s phone screen, reading the cold black typography of the headline again.INVESTORS QUESTION WHETHER STERLING CEO HID A SECRET CHILD FROM SHAREHOLDERSIt was a calculated strike, engineered to provoke maximum disruption, shock, morbid curiosity, corporate panic, and widespread public intrigue.Whoever orchestrated this had picked their moment with razor-sharp precision.My gaze shifted from the glowing display to Emerald sleeping peacefully in the hospital bed, completely unaware that her face was currently exploding across the internet.My daughter.The words still echoed strangely in my mind, even though the paper folded inside my inner jacket pocket left no room for doubt.99.99% Probability of Paternity.I had known for hours. Yet watching total strangers dissect her face and question whether she belonged to me stirred a quiet, instinctive fury inside me.I wasn't angry that they were asking questions. I was enraged that someone had dared to ha
