The walls of the prison were dull, lifeless. The air carried the faint scent of bleach, metal, and something bitter. Resentment, perhaps.

“You have a visitor,” a warder announced.

Big Margaret sat in the visitation room, her fingers drumming lightly against the cold metal table. The rhythm was steady, confident.

She had been waiting for this moment.

She knew Leah would surely come. She had struck a chord the last time they met. And there was something about Leah's hunger for knowing the truth. That insatiable curiosity would bring her here. It was only a matter of time.

And now, the wait was over.

“I knew she'd come,” she murmured under her breath, smiling.

When the door opened, she straightened, preparing herself. But the moment she saw who stepped in, her smirk vanished.

Mama, Leah's mother.

And she was standing.

Big Margaret’s mouth parted in shock. For a moment, she thought her mind was playing tricks on her.

“Cassandra,” she whispered, her voice almost unsteady.

Cassandra smiled,

  • The Billionaire's Caregiver    The Baby Shower

    Leah sat in the middle of the room, surrounded by balloons, gifts, and laughter. Everyone was present. Her heart was full. She looked around, smiling at every familiar face.Jeremy walked over to her with a drink. "For the queen of the day. Juice, of course."Leah took the glass and grinned. "You're spoiling me.""You deserve more. For carrying not one, but two tiny versions of us."Noah came closer with a plate of puff-puffs. "And for throwing the best baby shower ever.""It was Maggie and Cassandra's idea," Leah said.Maggie raised her hand. "Guilty as charged. We couldn't let you go through this pregnancy without a proper celebration."Cassandra nodded. "We needed something to lift everyone. After all the chaos, this joy is what we all needed."Benita walked up and handed Leah a gift bag. "This is from me and Ivan."Leah smiled at both of them. "You two look good together."Ivan winked. "I guess we are good together."Keira chimed in, arms crossed. "Oh, please. They've been stuck t

  • The Billionaire's Caregiver    Double Blessings and an Unexpected Guest

    The morning sun pushed its light gently through the curtains. It was a quiet, lazy morning, and the birds outside chirped in peace. Leah lay in bed, her back to Jeremy, one hand resting on her slightly rounded belly. She didn’t want to move. Her body felt weak, heavy, and sleepy.Jeremy stirred beside her. He turned and kissed her bare shoulder. “Baby, we need to get ready,” he said softly.Leah groaned. “I don’t feel like going. Can’t we skip today?”Jeremy sat up slowly and smiled at her. “We can’t skip prenatal appointments, Leah. You and our baby need to be checked.”Still, Leah didn’t move.Jeremy got out of bed and gently pulled the blanket off her. “Alright, I’ll help you.”He walked to her side of the bed, slid one hand under her back and the other under her legs, then lifted her up gently like she was made of feathers. Leah held onto his neck, resting her head against his chest.“You’re always doing this,” she murmured sleepily.Jeremy smiled. “I’ll always do it, as long as

    “So you and Benita are a thing now?” Keira asked from the doorway, her tone neutral, but her eyes slightly narrowed in curiosity as she leaned against the frame. She watched Ivan zip his travel bag slowly, taking his time as though contemplating her question.Ivan smiled, that crooked, charming smile that used to get him out of trouble even as a boy. “Yeah,” he said simply, shrugging like it was no big deal.Keira gave a soft snort, stepping into the room. “Happy for you. But is that why you're leaving?”Ivan turned to her, raising a brow. “Hey, you've given me nothing but a headache since I got here. Always touching my stuff without permission. You even told me straight up I shouldn't have come back.” He zipped the bag shut and turned to face her fully. “Now that all the danger we feared has been averted, and Leah and Jeremy are officially married and safe, I figured it was time to go back.”“I don’t give headaches, please,” Keira huffed, folding her arms. “And fine, you can go. I g

  • The Billionaire's Caregiver    A New Love Story

    The sun had begun to dip beneath the horizon, casting a golden hue over the grand wedding venue. Strings of lights twinkled from tree branches, lanterns glowed on white-draped tables, and laughter echoed through the open-air space like music. It was a day Leah had never thought would come—at least not so perfectly. She’d imagined something smaller, quieter, safe from drama and threats. But as she stood beside Jeremy in her flowing ivory gown, his hand resting protectively on the small of her back, she knew that loud and bright was exactly what they needed. After all the darkness, they deserved this joy.“Congratulations!” A voice rang out.Then another. And another.“Leah, you look stunning.”“Jeremy, you lucky man!”“May your union be blessed!”The words came from every direction—family, friends, colleagues, even business partners. Everyone was smiling. Everyone was happy. Glasses clinked, music played, and plates were full. Love was in the air, and Leah felt it with every heartbeat.

    The room was quiet again.After the police took Donald's lifeless body away, the air felt lighter—though not entirely free. Something dark and heavy had left, but a few threads of that weight still clung to the silence.Jeremy remained still, his hand on the door, watching the officers disappear down the corridor. Sarah stood by the wall, her body pressed against it like she needed its support to stay upright. Her face looked tired, stained with the tracks of old tears and the relief of new ones. In her arms, little Jalen rested, his small hands fisted tightly as if he sensed the chaos that had just passed.“Thank you,” she finally said, her voice barely above a whisper.Jeremy turned to her. “For what?”“For trusting me. For helping me. For risking your peace to protect a boy you didn’t even know was real.”Jeremy walked toward her and looked down at the child. His expression softened. “I didn’t do it for you. I did it for him.”Sarah smiled sadly, but there was a glow behind her sad

  • The Billionaire's Caregiver    Reckoning

    “Hi, Sarah,” Jeremy said, his voice low but clear. His heart beat fast in his chest, but his face showed nothing.Jeremy entered the room with heavy steps. The air was thick, like something dangerous had passed through already. The silence around him wasn’t peaceful. It was quiet in a tense way, like a storm waiting behind a closed door. He had gotten Sarah’s message and, against his better judgment, decided to meet her. The last time he helped her, she betrayed him. She spiked his drink, claimed he had slept with her, and later pretended to be pregnant. The lie almost ruined his life and almost cost him Leah. That kind of mistake shouldn’t have a second chance.Still, here he was.Sarah stood up when she saw him. Her eyes were red, her cheeks wet. But Jeremy didn’t trust tears anymore—not from her. He stayed at the door.“Jeremy,” she said and smiled a sad smile. “Thank you for coming.”Jeremy said nothing about the greeting. He only got straight to the matter.“Your son…” he began

    Chapter: A Conversation in ShadowsLeah lay back on the couch, her head resting on the armrest, a blanket loosely wrapped around her legs. The soft hum of the air conditioner filled the room, blending with the distant noise of traffic. A cup of warm tea rested on the coffee table beside her, untouched. Her thoughts were heavy. The talk with Ivan had shifted something inside her. She wasn’t just processing the information—she was carrying it like a fragile glass bowl in her chest, afraid it might shatter.When Ivan left, Leah sat still for a long time, staring into nothingness. Sarah’s request to meet with Jeremy alone was a storm she didn’t see coming. And yet, here it was—raining doubt, uncertainty, and fear.After what felt like hours, Leah finally picked up her phone and dialed Jeremy.“Hey, baby,” Jeremy’s voice came through, calm and comforting.“Hi,” she said, her voice softer than usual. “Are you busy?”“Not quite. Just got back from the site. You sound off. Are you okay?”“I a

    The grocery store wasn’t too crowded. People went about their shopping, pushing carts, comparing prices, and grabbing items off shelves. But Sarah wasn’t just another customer today. Her eyes were alert behind her dark shades, though her face remained calm. Her mind, however, was racing.Her phone buzzed. It was time.She stepped into a quiet aisle, holding a pack of cereal in one hand as she pressed her phone to her ear. The dial tone was short. Ivan picked up almost immediately.“Hello,” he said, his voice firm.Sarah lowered her eyes, her grip on the cereal pack tightening. “Hi, Ivan. It’s me.”“I know,” he replied. “So… how can I help you?”She took a deep breath. “He wants me to meet with Jeremy alone. Without Leah around.”Ivan was silent.Sarah looked around to be sure no one was near. She continued, “Please… Help me talk to Jeremy so he agrees to see me alone.”“Why should we help you?” Ivan asked, his voice sharp and honest.Sarah closed her eyes for a second. “Because you’re

    The evening was colder than usual, and a soft breeze carried dust and the scent of damp leaves along the quiet sidewalk. Ivan kept a cautious distance, his eyes locked on Sarah as she walked ahead, unaware—or so he thought—of his presence. The plan was simple: follow her, gather any useful intel, and report back to Keira and Benita. But Sarah’s steps didn’t falter. In fact, they seemed almost... deliberate.Sarah had noticed him. The moment he started tailing her, she sensed it. The soft rustle behind her, the occasional reflection in car mirrors, and the ever-present feeling of being watched confirmed her suspicion. She didn’t panic. Not yet. Instead, she allowed it. If anything, it was time.She mumbled under her breath, almost like speaking to the wind, "Come on..."As though he heard her, Ivan resumed trailing her discreetly, moving from one shadow to another, keeping himself mostly hidden. His heart thudded with anticipation and nerves. Something wasn’t right. Sarah was too calm.
