[SASHA VOLKOV'S PENTHOUSE - LIVING ROOM]

Nathaniel stood near the entrance, his hands shoved deep in his pockets, his jaw clenched so tight it was a wonder his teeth did not crack. He looked like a man who had not slept in days, dark circles under his eyes and stubble shadowing his jaw. His clothes, usually impeccably neat, were wrinkled as if he had slept in them.

Or had not slept at all.

Sasha lounged on one of the white sofas, wearing nothing but a silk nightgown that left very little to t

This chapter is dedicated to every reader who has held Shayla’s heart as gently as she holds Grayson’s. Thank you for loving her through the calm… even when the storm is coming. From here, it gets heavier. It gets messier. Truths will surface. Hearts will be tested. And not everyone will walk through it unchanged. But don’t stop loving this story the way you love Ayven — fiercely, protectively, without hesitation. Your comments, your theories, your emotions… they mean more to me than you know. Hold on tight. Love you plenty, Lia’s Ink💜

  • The Bet That Ruined Us    Chapter 214

    Angel and Ayven were sharing one of the big beds. Angel had wanted to sleep near her brother. She wanted to be close to him after so many months apart.She was already asleep now. Curled up on her side. Facing Ayven. One hand tucked under her cheek. Breathing soft and even. Her glasses were on the nightstand beside the bed.Ayven was lying on his back. Sleeping soundly after so much exhaustion.Grayson and Shayla were in the other bed. Lying close together. Baby Madonna was in her bassinet right beside them. Close enough that Shayla could reach over and check on her.The room was dim now. Just one small lamp on in the corner. Providing enough light to see but not enough to keep anyone awake. Soft and gentle.Shayla turned on her side to face Grayson."How are you doing?" she asked softly. Keeping her voice low so she would not wake the kids or the baby. "Honestly. Really truly. How are you feeling about everything that has happened?"Grayson was quiet for a long moment. Just lay there

    Ayven and Angel both yelled her name at exactly the same time. Their voices overlapping. Creating a stereo effect.They both jumped off their respective beds. Moved fast. Ran toward Ruby with their arms outstretched."Careful! Gentle!" Ricardo called out immediately. His voice sharp with worry. "She is very pregnant! Do not knock her over! Be gentle!"But the kids were already crashing into Ruby. Wrapping their arms around her. Hugging her as gently as excited children could manage. Which honestly was not very gentle at all.Ruby's arms came around both of them. Pulled them close.And immediately burst into tears. Just started sobbing. Her whole face crumpled up. Tears streamed down her cheeks rapidly. Creating wet tracks through her makeup."My dynamic duo is awake!" she said through her sobs. Her voice was thick and choked. "Oh my God! I cannot believe it! This is the best day ever!"She was crying and laughing simultaneously. Making those weird hiccupping sounds that come from tryi

    The hospital had moved them all to a bigger suite. Much bigger. Grayson had insisted.He had not even asked how much it would cost. Had just signed whatever papers they put in front of him. Handed over his black card. Told them to make it happen immediately.This was not a regular hospital room anymore. This was luxury accommodation that happened to be inside a medical facility.Two massive beds dominated the space. Not hospital beds with rails and thin mattresses. These were king-sized beds with premium mattresses and soft expensive linens. The kind of beds you would find in a five-star hotel. White sheets. Fluffy pillows. Comfortable and inviting.A full sitting area took up one corner. Leather couches. Matching chairs. A coffee table. Everything arranged like someone's living room.The bathroom was enormous. Walk-in shower with multiple shower heads. Deep soaking tub. Double vanity. Marble countertops. Heated floors.There was even a kitchenette along one wall. Mini fridge. Microwa

    [SHAYLA'S RECOVERY ROOM] They made their way slowly down the hallway. Grayson on one side of Ayven. Angel on the other. Ready to catch him if he stumbled. If his legs gave out. But Ayven kept walking. Determined. Refusing to show weakness. They got to Shayla's room. The door was closed. Grayson opened it. Let Ayven walk in first. Ayven's eyes immediately went to the bed. To Shayla lying there. Tired but smiling. "Momma!" He did not walk. He ran. Forgot about his weak legs. Forgot about being careful. He just ran to her. "Do not jump on her, Ayven!" Grayson called out. Worried about Shayla. But Ayven did not jump. He was not that reckless. Just hugged her. Carefully. Gently. Shayla wrapped her arms around him immediately. Held her son. Her baby boy. Her firstborn. Tears were pouring down her face. Happy tears. Overwhelmed tears. Everything all at once. "My baby. My sweet baby boy. You are awake. You are really awake." She was kissing his face. His forehead. His cheeks. Anywh

    [RECOVERY ROOM - VIP SUITE, TWO HOURS LATER] Shayla had been moved to a private recovery suite. The nicest room the hospital had. Because Grayson had insisted. The room looked more like a luxury hotel than a hospital. Big comfortable bed. Private bathroom with a shower. A sitting area with a couch and chairs. A mini fridge. A TV. And it had been decorated. Pink balloons everywhere. Pink ribbons. Fresh flowers. Roses and peonies and gardenias. The room smelled amazing. It looked festive and cheerful. Shayla did not even know when Grayson had arranged all this. But he had. Somehow managed to do it. Baby Madonna was in a clear plastic bassinet beside the bed. Sleeping peacefully. Wrapped in soft pink blankets. Angel was standing beside the bassinet. Just staring at her new baby sister. She had not looked away in over an hour. She was humming a lullaby softly. Gently. Her face was full of wonder and love. Grayson was sitting on the edge of Shayla's bed. Petting her hair gently. Lo

    Nurses came running. The sound of their shoes hitting the floor echoed through the corridor like a stampede. Two of them reached Shayla first, a younger one with wide eyes and an older one with the calm efficiency of someone who had done this a thousand times before. The older nurse took one look at the puddle on the floor, at Shayla's white face, at the way she was gripping Grayson's arm with both hands, and immediately started giving orders to anyone within earshot. "Get a wheelchair right now and call ahead to labor and delivery. Tell them we have a full-term mother with water broken in the corridor. She is moving fast." The younger nurse sprinted away without a word. The older one put a steadying hand on Shayla's back and spoke directly to her in a voice that was meant to be calming but carried an edge of urgency underneath it. "Mrs. Cross, can you walk on your own or do you need to sit down?" Shayla opened her mouth to answer but another wave of pain hit her before any words

    Shayla pulled up to the gates of Grayson's penthouse building, her hands still shaking on the steering wheel.Before she could even reach for her phone to call, the gates swung open.A security guard stood outside the booth, his expression carefully neutral but his posture alert. He nodded at her a

    Ruby's fingers trembled as she turned her phone screen toward Shayla, the threatening message glowing accusingly in the dim light of the living room.Shayla leaned forward, reading the words once, twice, three times, as if repetition might somehow change their meaning."Ruby." Shayla's voice was bar

    Grayson woke up first, staring at the beautiful lady on his bed.The sun came in through the floor-to-ceiling windows in tiny waves, catching her flawless face and making her skin glow. She was still wearing the clothes she'd come in with last night, rumpled from sleep but somehow still beautiful i
