[Sinclair]

Neil remained calm with both hands on the steering wheel. He glanced in the rearview mirror to check on the police officers. They got out of the car behind us. My driver didn't speed or break traffic laws, but I knew why they stopped us.

“Good evening, sir,“ the police officer greeted him.

“Good evening,“ Neil replied.

“Please show me your driver’s license,” he ordered.

“I’ll get it from my pocket,” Neil said. He reached into the inside pocket of his jacket and handed the license to the officer.

“Neil Stahl.” The cop read his name. “Show me your registration and proof of insurance as well.”

My driver told him what he would do before complying with the officer’s request. He took both documents out of his pocket. After handing them to the officer, he placed both hands on the steering wheel.

“Sinclair Wyndham,” the officer read.

“A familiar name. What do you think?” his partner said. He took the papers and looked at me through the window behind Neil. “It's correct. That’s Sinc

    [Darcy]That man was insane. After listening to my explanation last night, he didn't understand me. It was pointless for me to talk at length and tell him everything. He thought I needed his apology and protection.I built my image from the ground up so people would forget my scandal. His actions ruined my efforts and sacrifices. The public would condemn me worse than ever if they learned I had a child with another man.Oh, God. My entire body shook just thinking about it. Sean and Bridget would attack me for the rest of my life. I would lose my chance to win custody of Keane. The judge might not trust me to raise him.That can’t happen. I have to bring Keane home before the public finds out about Dashiell. But I can’t do that before Sinclair divorces me. The judge will find out about the child, and Sean will find out who the mother is. He has a lot of informants.“Shit! Shit! Shit!” I cursed.“What’s wrong? Is there anything we can help with?” Scott asked.“I’m fine,” I lied.“You ne

    “I can't believe it happened to me,” Robin complained.The owner of the fertility clinic changed our meeting place. He came to my office and brought varied food for us to enjoy together. We didn't have lunch at a restaurant to avoid reporters.Gossip would die down on its own if there were more interesting issues. Therefore, I never bothered myself when the media discussed me and my personal life. I'd only act if someone leaked company secrets to the public.“My blood test results showed traces of a sleeping pill. I called Sean Channing, but he refused to give me the hotel's camera footage. That's outrageous! I have the right to know who put that drug in my drink or food!” he protested.Sean wouldn't give him that information. He knew Darcy was the culprit and fired the hotel employee who helped her. The man called many people to prevent the news from going viral.The dancers and instructors who challenged Darcy should be grateful. I only fired them and asked them to compensate for th

    [Sinclair]The cold woman never spoke at length, pouring out her feelings. So I didn't interrupt and let her talk. It felt like someone was squeezing my heart tightly when her voice trembled, holding back tears.I knew she tried to have a child despite her medical condition and her husband's health issues. They attempted to conceive but failed. I knew they lost their first two children, but I didn't realize how painful it was.I felt the pain after Dashiell was born. I gradually grew to love the unborn child in the woman I paid for, but I didn't realize it. I only understood the bond growing in my heart when the child was in my arms.Hearing Darcy's story reminded me of my feelings as a father. I would also grieve if I lost my son. I saw him on the monitor during the pregnancy checkup. I heard his heartbeat and looked at his sonograms daily.I was guilty of stealing those eggs and obstructing her and her husband's desire to have another child. Darcy was right. Robin and I were evil.

    The house was quiet when I got home. I told Scott to get some rest and walked to my room. I stood before the mirror for a while, observing my changing face. I tried to smile, but I couldn't.I made lots of mistakes when I was younger. People thought that was the real me. They thought I was that cruel to everyone. Only Cullen could see my kind side and accept me as I was.After he died, I lost my ally. But I learned to take responsibility for my actions. I was ashamed to accept Taylor and Savannah's kindness. I knew they wanted to help me without expecting anything in return. However, I wouldn't change if I kept receiving help.Losing Keane taught me the value of having my child beside me. Losing my wealth made me appreciate things beyond material possessions. Working at a nightclub in revealing clothing humbled me and helped me understand the pain of those I once looked down upon.Everyone struggled with their lives, whether on the right path or in darkness. My life was no better than

    I received an invitation to a happy occasion and heard bad news almost simultaneously. It was strange, but Savannah was right. I was also glad to know about the incident. After the trouble that man had caused, he deserved it.I was lucky that the mayoral election was a hot topic. The journalists forgot about my scandal and didn't come to the club or follow me wherever I went. The news about Keane also disappeared from the media. Everyone focused on welcoming the major event.“How did you know? I thought you weren't in contact with him anymore,” I said.“His coworker told me. We used to be close. I told him to stop, but he likes to share the misfortunes that befall Archie with me.” Savannah shrugged. “The fool didn't show up for work. They visited him at the hospital on their lunch break.”“Does he know how his leg got injured?” I asked.“Archie claimed his leg was injured while decorating his house, but the nurse said he had a gunshot wound.” Savannah chuckled. “I'm sure it was the cl
