The next morning.

Max, Xavier’s loyal assistant, stood tall beside the gleaming black car parked neatly in front. His black suit was crisp without a wrinkle, his shoes polished, his expression as professional as ever.

In his hand was a tablet containing today’s agenda, while his eyes never left the mansion’s grand door. The moment the golden handle turned, Xavier appeared with steady steps. His dark suit framed his body, his tie perfectly in place, his gaze sharp. As always, his cold aura demanded respect from anyone in his presence.

“Morning, Max,” he said briefly.

“Good morning, Mr. Xavier.” Max bowed politely, then immediately opened the car door. “Today’s schedule is tight. A board meeting at the temporary office at nine, a session with the legal team at eleven, and a site inspection for the new building project after lunch.”

Xavier slid into the back seat. Max followed, taking the front this time, doubling as both aide and protector. Once the engine hummed to life, Max continued

    The black luxury car was already waiting, yet Xavier still hadn’t stepped inside. Max stood beside him, waiting for instructions, but not a single word came out of Xavier’s mouth. The man simply stared blankly at the road ahead.“Sir, what about the meeting Damien held? I can arrange a countermeeting right away. If we don’t act quickly, they’ll only grow bolder,” said Max.Xavier finally turned, his gaze sharp yet calm. “Max.”“Yes, Sir?”“I don’t care.”Max blinked, slightly taken aback by the response. “You don’t care?”Xavier drew a deep breath, his eyes drifting toward the hospital window where Liora was still being treated.“Liora just went through a night that nearly drove me insane. Our twins were almost in danger. Do you think I’d leave her just to respond to a family meeting game?”Max lowered his head. “I’m only worried, Sir. They won’t stop until they get what they want.”“I know. But they can wait. Liora can’t. She needs me right now, not meetings, not power.”Xavier final

    Xavier’s footsteps echoed through the long hospital corridor. His black suit was back on, his face a cold mask, as if nothing could pierce that composure. Yet behind his gaze, worry still lingered for Liora, whom he had left for a while in the VIP room.Max walked half a step behind him, his expression as rigid as ever. But once they passed through the hospital’s main doors and the morning breeze greeted them, Max quickened his pace, moving closer to Xavier’s side.“Sir, there is something important I need to report.”Xavier paused beneath the canopy, his eyes narrowing. “Speak.”Max glanced around, making sure no other ears were listening.“According to our informants, Damien held an emergency meeting with several other members of the Wrenford family. They deliberately excluded you. The meeting took place at the old family mansion, last night.”Xavier remained silent, his face expressionless.“And the topic of this meeting?” he asked.“They discussed your leadership. Damien tried to

    In the VIP room.Xavier sat on a cushioned wooden chair right beside the bed. His gaze never left his sleeping wife’s face. From time to time, he stroked Liora’s fingers with his thumb.Behind the calmness on his face, there was a storm he could hardly contain. Liora had nearly lost control because of the contractions. If Max hadn’t been quick, if the doctor hadn’t arrived in time, he dared not imagine the worst.He took a deep breath, his eyes shifting to Liora’s swollen belly. The image of two tiny babies inside filled his thoughts.You both must be strong because your mother has fought too hard.The door was knocked softly. Max entered, his steps careful so as not to make a sound. He carried a small thermos of black coffee, which he placed on the table beside Xavier.“Please drink, Sir. You’ve been forcing your eyes open for too long.”Xavier glanced briefly, then looked back at Liora. “I don’t need coffee. I need her to open her eyes and say she’s all right.”Max let out a quiet s

    Second by second crawled by. The bedroom clock neared nine at night. Liora still lay on her side, restless, her hands rubbing her belly again and again as the tightening grew more frequent.Each time it came, she had to clutch the blanket hard, her face drawn tight.“Ah…” Her breathing quickened.She tried to control her breath, recalling the midwife’s instructions from prenatal class. Inhale, then exhale slowly. But the sweat cooling on her temples told her this was no longer just practice.“Babies, hold on a little longer, please. Not now.”Meanwhile, Xavier sat in his study, a large screen in front of him showing several investors on a video call.“We are not only rebuilding Wrenford. We are creating a new symbol. The new tower will be finished within a year. All funding, allocations, and timelines are clear. There is no reason to doubt our stability.”The investors looked satisfied, though a few still asked questions. Xavier answered them one by one with his signature cold patienc

    The tears had dried, though Liora’s eyes still shimmered. She rested her head against Xavier’s shoulder, her fingers idly toying with the buttons of his shirt.“How’s Astervale?”Xavier turned slightly. “Astervale?”“Yes. I just want to know how things are with it now.”“The financial reports are in shambles,” Xavier admitted. “But don’t worry. Slowly, it can be restored.”Liora exhaled in relief, but before she could speak, Xavier’s gaze sharpened. “But tell me, Liora. Why only Astervale? What about Wrenford? Aren’t you curious?”“Wrenford?” She shook her head softly. “I don’t need to ask.”“Why not?”“Because I know Wrenford is already in good hands. With you leading, how could I worry? You’re too disciplined to leave the smallest crack open.”One of Xavier’s brows rose. “And Astervale?”“Astervale is different. It’s fragile, broken, full of scars. Like I was, before you came. That’s why I care.”He stared at her, second after second stretching heavy between them. At last he sighed,

    One Month LaterLiora sat in the patient’s chair, her swollen belly prominent beneath a pale blue maternity dress. Her restless fingers toyed with the edge of her shawl, her eyes flicking now and then to the ultrasound monitor that had just been used.Beside her, Xavier stood tall, arms folded across his chest, his sharp gaze never straying from the middle-aged female doctor seated before them, a thick file resting on her lap.“Well, Mrs. Liora, the twins are developing well. Both heartbeats are stable, their positions are clearly visible. However, we need to discuss something serious regarding delivery.”“Is there a problem, Doctor?” Liora asked quickly.The doctor smiled faintly and shook her head. “No serious problem so far. But because this is a twin pregnancy, the risks of natural labor are much higher than with a single birth. The first baby is head-down, but the second is transverse. That means once the first baby is delivered, the second could be difficult to bring out. In som
