LOGINClaire Bennett believed she had finally achieved her dream after two painful IVF treatments—becoming a mother beside the husband who promised to love her forever. Then, in one devastating afternoon, everything shattered. She overhears her husband confess that the baby he believes she's carrying actually belongs to him and his first love, making Claire nothing more than an unwilling surrogate. But fate has its own plans. A shocking medical mistake reveals an impossible truth. The twins growing inside Claire don't belong to her cheating husband at all. Their biological father is Jonathan Reid—the mysterious billionaire heir of the powerful Reid family. Determined to escape a marriage built on lies, Claire walks away with her unborn children and rebuilds the life she abandoned years ago. Only when she disappears does Nathan Wade realize he has destroyed the only woman who ever truly loved him. Now two powerful men are chasing the same woman. One wants redemption. The other wants the family he never knew existed. But Claire has already made her choice. This time... She'll never look back.

"We check on Cynthia first. We'll get back to Mr. Reid the second her situation is under control."Chu and the team left.Jonathan, on the edge of collapse, submerged himself into the ice bath.The instant his scorching, inflamed skin met the water, thin wisps of steam rose off him.Sweat rolled down his forehead in heavy beads.Every second was a battle restraint wrestling against something clawing to break free.Time passed, indeterminate. Finally, he let out a long breath. When his eyes opened, the crimson had faded slightly, his vision sharpening back into focus.Meanwhile, Claire up in her second-floor room heard both the helicopter's roar and the piercing alarm.She hadn't gone to bed yet, sitting by the window sketching, music playing softly for what she'd decided counted as prena
"Kevin. Drive me to Yunze Manor. Personally.""Now."Jonathan grabbed his phone and strode out. He'd barely reached the underground garage, hadn't even gotten near his own car, when a Lamborghini screeched to a stop directly in front of him.A long-legged woman in a red dress stepped out. Spotting Jonathan, she frowned and crossed to him."Jonathan, what's going on? Your aunt insisted I get this document to you within ten minutes"Jonathan glanced at her once, then got into his car and locked the doors instantly."Kevin. Drive."He gave the order without a second's hesitation, as though the woman standing in front of the car simply didn't exist.He already understood exactly what had happened to him but his cold, dark eyes had flushed crimson regardless.His hands, clenched against his knees, had gone white at the knuckles.Sweat beaded along his forehead.An unprecedented, gnawing want had risen up from somewhere deep in his chest, and his body was betraying him in ways he'd never ex
Outside the Los Angeles Police Department.Claire sat in her car when Aldridge came rushing out and spotted her.He crossed over. "Claire what are you doing here?""That legal team Kevin brought in that was your doing?"Claire got out of the car immediately. "Uncle Aldridge, how's Mira?""Kevin's here for exactly that. You can trust he'll handle it well."Aldridge seemed satisfied hearing that."We old-timers know plenty of lawyers ourselves, but this team today is a different caliber entirely.""The attorney's negotiating with the police right now.""Your mentor got dragged into this unfairly.""Jiang Wan left a suicide note before he jumped, claiming Mira's faction drove him to it.""There's no direct evidence backing that claim, though. She should be fine."Claire exhaled, relieved."Thank god she's okay.""This whole mess only touched her because of me in the first place.""Uncle Aldridge do you know what actually happened with the tiger painting? Why would he suddenly kill himsel
After leaving the ICU, Nathan went to wait outside the operating room.Claire had been sitting in the corner of a bench nearby, baseball cap pulled low. She'd only removed her earpiece once he'd completely cleared the hall.She had Jonathan's reach in this hospital to thank for it.She'd simply asked the Chen brothers whether sneaking in to eavesdrop on Nathan and Diane's conversation was feasible.Big Chen and Little Chen just laughed. "Sneaking in? Miss Bennett, no need for that."Carrying Jonathan's credentials, they had hospital staff produce a pair of earpieces almost immediately.Otherwise, Claire never would have caught the mother-son conversation at all.The setup cleared up a few lingering questions.Last time, when Claire had witnessed Diane meeting the president of Ashford Bank at the tea house, the man had visibly refused Diane's attempt to cultivate a relationship but Claire had still leaked photos of the "private meeting" to a tabloid, just in case.Curiously, that leak
