A headache exploded sharply behind his eyes as Mrs. Whitmore continued crying loudly. “Why is it always good people that suffer?!” she sobbed. “My poor Evelyn… what if they hurt her?!”

“Mom,” Rowan said sharply, forcing himself to stay composed despite the panic rapidly building inside him. “Calm down.”

The driver quickly explained everything in broken, pan

    The words weren't accusatory, that somehow made them worse.Kennedy's jaw tightened.Sean stood. "Partners are nervous. Stock is falling. My father has apparently decided removing me fixes whatever he thinks I caused."Kennedy remained silent.Sean looked upstairs again. "But Shannon...""Will still be here when you're done."Sean froze.Kennedy froze too. The sentence had escaped before he'd considered what it sounded like.Slowly, Sean looked at him.Kennedy immediately regretted everything. "What?"Sean's expression changed, something warmer entered his eyes.Kennedy scowled. "Don't."Sean smiled. "You just said...""I know what I said.""She'll still be here.""Because this is her home.""When I'm done."Kennedy pointed toward the entrance. "Leave before I change my mind about everything."Sean's smile widened.Kennedy's irritation grew. "Why are you smiling?""No reason.""You look ridiculous.""Thank you.""That wasn't a compliment."Sean reached for his suit jacket. For the fir

    Meanwhile morning light slipped through the gap between the curtains and landed directly across Shannon's face. She frowned in her sleep, turned away, pulled the blanket higher, then froze.Something was touching her leg.Shannon's eyes opened slowly. For several seconds, she simply stared at the unfamiliar ceiling while the events of the previous night returned one by one. The party, her father, Rowan, Evelyn, the Vales, Kennedy publicly declaring his revenge, Sean offering eighty percent of Vale Group, the nausea, running upstairs, Sean following her, and then her hand moved immediately to her stomach.She was pregnant and Sean knew now. A smile slowly appeared.She remembered his face when she'd told him. The confusion, the disbelief, the way he'd dropped to his knees because he'd completely misunderstood her tears and thought she was rejecting him, then the absolute shock when she'd finally managed to say the words.I'm pregnant.Shannon covered her face. God. She was still smilin

    Sean's eyes narrowed. "What?""You heard me.""No. Say it properly."Edward hesitated.Sean's voice became dangerously calm. "Say exactly what you're trying to say.""That woman or this family."Sean laughed. "Wrong.""What?""Shannon isn't up for selection."Edward went silent."She's not an option on a fucking ballot."Sean paced toward the window. "You want my position? Come for it.""Sean.""You want the board to vote?" He smiled coldly. "Let them.""You think they won't remove you?""I think half of those people owe their current fortunes to decisions I made while you were sitting at home calling yourself chairman."Edward's breathing sharpened."For years, I've run Vale Group." Sean's voice lowered. "I expanded it, I pulled it through two market crashes, I negotiated the acquisitions you told me were impossible, I built relationships in countries you couldn't get a meeting in, so if you think one emotional offer I made while trying to prevent your twenty seven year old enemy fro

    Breakfast had barely progressed when Sean's phone vibrated beside his plate.He ignored it.Kennedy noticed, not because there was anything unusual about receiving a message at seven in the morning when you ran a company the size of Vale Group, but because Sean had glanced at the screen and immediately turned it facedown again.Kennedy continued eating.Sean looked toward the staircase, nothing.He checked the time. 7:23. Shannon still hadn't appeared. He wondered if she was awake or maybe Aria was awake.He could text Ariabut Kennedy had specifically told him not to do that.Sean frowned. Technically, Kennedy had told him not to text Aria to wake Shannon. If Aria happened to already be awake...His phone vibrated again.Sean glanced down. This time, he picked it up. URGENT: Board meeting moved forward to 8:30 A.M.His expression changed.Another message followed almost immediately. Major shareholders requesting immediate review of last night's developments. Several institutional par

    Amelia opened her eyes. That was worse, much worse. She could already imagine it. She would walk in, he would look at her and then what? Hi, Kennedy?She almost laughed. Twenty seven years. And she was going to give him hi? Maybe she'd say his name. Just... "Kennedy."Would he recognize her voice first?Would he recognize her face?Of course he would. She'd recognize him anywhere even after all these years.Would he think he was seeing a ghost?Would he hate her?Amelia's smile disappeared.He had every right to. That was the part she kept trying not to think about. Shannon was different, she hadn't abandoned Shannon knowingly, someone had told her that her daughter was dead, someone had apparently shown her father another baby's body and Amelia had mourned her daughter genuinely but Kennedy? That was different.She had left Kennedy knowingly, deliberately. She had looked at her father twenty seven years ago and asked him to make her husband believe she had died.Amelia squeezed her

    Meanwhile the cabin was silent, outside the windows, there was nothing but darkness and the occasional glow of distant cities far beneath the aircraft. Amelia hadn't slept. She hadn't even tried. It's been Several hours into the flight. She remained seated beside the window with a tablet resting against her lap and a thick digital file open across the screen, SHANNON MILES, her daughter.Even seeing the name still did something strange to her chest.Amelia had spent the first hour simply staring at photographs. There were dozens, some recent, and some taken years ago.A university photograph, business events, fashion launches, pictures from Shannon's marriage, and photographs beside Rowan Whitmore. Then the newer ones, Shannon entering Vale Group, Shannon beside Aria Vale, and Shannon beside Sean.Amelia had enlarged every single one, studied every expression, every smile, and every tiny resemblance she could find. She'd even caught herself smiling at one photograph where Shannon app

    Rowan sat on the bed, his arm wrapped loosely around Evelyn.Evelyn stood close, too close, and Rowan leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to her cheek like it was the most natural thing in the world.Like he had done it a hundred times.Like it belonged there.“Stop!”The word tore out of Shannon befor

    The first thing Shannon felt was the weight, like her entire body had been dragged beneath something heavy and invisible, pressing her down into a darkness that refused to let her rise.Then came the sound, a slow, steady beep... beep... beep...It echoed from far away at first, distant and unreal,

    The guest room was at the end of the hall.Shannon paused at the doorway, her fingers resting lightly against the frame before she stepped in.It used to be a storage room now it was neat, cleaned and prepared.A bed, fresh sheets and a wardrobe that looked barely used.Shannon exhaled slowly and s

    The hospital discharged them the next day.Shannon didn’t know whether that was fate or cruelty.She stood just outside the building, her fingers gripping the thin discharge papers in her hand as the sunlight hit her face. Too bright. Like the world hadn’t just ended for her.A few steps ahead Rowa
