MasukHow could Cassie possibly know the truth about how Sienna lost her womb unless she had real proof hidden somewhere?The moment those words left Cassie’s mouth, Sienna felt panic clawing at her chest because there was no way Cassie would make such a claim unless she was prepared to back it up with evidence.Sienna was not ready for that.Her original plan had been simple because all she needed to do was pretend to faint, let everyone panic, and then allow herself to be rushed to the hospital where she could pay a doctor to support whatever lie she needed, fake a few test results, or create some other excuse to escape before anyone pushed too hard for answers.That was the plan she had carefully built in her head.Unfortunately for her, Nathan and Debbie stepped forward before anybody else had the chance to get close.“There is no reason for anyone to panic because my wife and I are medical professionals,” Nathan said calmly.
The humiliation pressing down on Frederick felt unbearable because no matter where he looked, he found people staring at him.Some people looked entertained by what had happened, some looked curious, and others watched him with pity written all over their faces, which only made the situation even harder for him to endure.Their eyes stayed on him everywhere he turned.Franklin had introduced him to countless important people over the years, and because of those connections, the Novarian Group had managed to establish a branch in New York without much difficulty.Most of the billionaires and influential figures gathered in the ballroom tonight were people Franklin had personally brought into Frederick’s circle.Frederick had always appreciated that.He had always believed Franklin was the one person in his life who would never betray him.Now, standing there in front of everyone, he no longer knew what to believe.He and F
Frederick was no match for his twin brother, and every cruel word he had ever spoken about Cassie seemed to give Franklin even more reason to keep hitting him.Each punch landed harder than the one before, and with every blow, more blood spilled from Frederick’s nose and mouth until the front of his shirt was stained red.The crowd stood around them in stunned silence, watching everything unfold without trying to interfere. Some people looked horrified, some looked entertained, and others had already taken out their phones to record the fight because it was painfully obvious who was winning.“Please, stop them,” Sienna cried, her voice breaking with panic as Franklin drove another fist into Frederick’s face.“For every disgusting thing you ever said about my wife,” Franklin roared, his voice filled with so much anger that it sent chills through the room.Frederick had stopped fighting back a while ago because he knew there was no point. He could barely block the punches anymore, and e
It took several long seconds for Franklin’s words to fully settle over the room. Nobody moved, nobody spoke, and for a moment, it almost felt like the entire world had stopped spinning.Sienna trembled where she stood, her fingers curling tightly against the fabric of her dress as she stared at Franklin with wide, disbelieving eyes.“Franklin?” she whispered, her voice shaky and weak. “No.”Pearl and Audrey looked just as stunned. Their mouths hung open, and the envy in their eyes was so obvious that neither of them could hide it. Lucien and Asher looked like they had just seen something impossible, and both of them turned toward Frederick, expecting him to be surprised.Instead, Frederick was smiling.The sight of it was unsettling because although there was a smile on his face, there was nothing warm about it. His eyes remained cold, and there was something heavy sitting behind that expression, something ugly and painful that looked ready to break free at any second.“Frank,” Freder
Out of all the dresses Franklin had picked out with Scarlet, Cassie somehow chose the exact same design Scarlet had fallen in love with, the only difference being a subtle variation in color and detailing that made each of them stand out in their own way.Cassie’s dress flowed over her like liquid emerald silk, hugging her figure just enough to highlight her shape without being excessive, before cascading into a dramatic train that followed her every step.The plunging neckline was bold but balanced by the low back, with delicate straps that shimmered under the golden lighting, catching attention effortless rather than forced.Around her neck, an emerald necklace tied everything together, perfectly matched with her other accessories, giving her a presence that felt both refined and impossible to ignore.Scarlet’s gown mirrored the same silhouette, but hers came in a deep, striking crimson, radiating confidence with every movement she made. The thigh-high slit added a daring edge, whil
“Does Mr. Roth have a twin brother?”The question came from Raymond Carter, an investment banker who clearly enjoyed being the first to notice things others hadn’t fully processed yet, his fiancée standing neatly at his side as both of them stared in open curiosity.All attention shifted toward Franklin.Dressed in a perfectly tailored black tuxedo, he stood with an ease that made the room feel smaller around him, and even though Frederick was wearing something almost identical, the resemblance between them didn’t hit as sharply as it used to.They still looked alike, still carried the same striking features that made people look twice, but something about Franklin felt more defined, more grounded, like he had stepped fully into himself in a way Frederick hadn’t quite managed.“They have to be twins,” Andre muttered under his breath, while Liyah nodded beside him, both of them quietly taking in the c
Cassie stood there for a long moment after the shower, steam still clinging to her skin, the bathroom mirror fogged up like it was trying to hide her from herself, and she drew in a slow breath that did absolutely nothing to steady the storm rolling around in her chest.With Franklin and T
“Let them in,” Sebastian finally said, his patience thinning as the tension in the room thickened.The door opened, and Nathan walked in with another woman right behind him, both of them wearing crisp white doctor’s coats, which immediately cleared up some of the confusion swirling in the air.The
“It is one of the men who helped us get home the other day. He introduced himself as Jonathan,” Victoria finally confessed, her gaze hovering between the everyone presence but avoiding that of Cassie.Cassie’s brows arched in interest, recognizing the significance behind the name and the courage it
The question landed like a bomb in the middle of the room, sudden and heavy enough to suck the air out of everyone’s lungs.Nathan’s interest sharpened immediately, not out of nosiness but because Cassie’s past was one of the few areas he barely knew anything about, especially when it came to her e
