After the laughter and hooting died down, Zara said, “We are here for you, babe.”

“Thanks, girls,” Clara replied, then scooped a spoonful of pasta into her mouth.

“Jeez, Clara. Careful or you’re going to choke,” Aria warned.

Clara rolled her eyes and kept chewing, and Zara laughed at them.

The next second, the hospital room door opened, and Jaxon strolled in with Damian and Christian on his heels.

Clara stopped midway through chewing. Her eyes widened as she took in the tall men filling the doo

    Damian turned and walked straight toward the doctor’s office. Aria and Mira followed him, Zara and Clara right behind them.The doctor looked up when they entered. His eyes moved from Aria to Mira, then back to Aria again. His brows lifted.“Wait,” he said slowly. “Are you…?”“They’re twins,” Damian answered before anyone else could speak.The doctor leaned forward in his chair, studying them again. “Identical twins.”A small smile appeared on the doctor’s face. “That’s very promising.”He stood up. “Let’s run the test immediately.”Mira rolled up her sleeve without hesitation when the nurse brought in the tray. Aria stood beside her, watching the needle slide into Mira’s arm.“You’re not nervous?” Zara asked softly.Mira glanced at her. “About saving my nephew? No.”The nurse labeled the sample and carried it away.“Results shouldn’t take long,” the doctor said. “Please wait outside.”They moved back to the waiting area.Aria sat down but couldn’t stay still for long. After a few sec

    They all turned at the same time.Damian took a step back in shock. Zara’s fingers tightened around Clara’s arm and Clara didn’t move at all.Aria stayed where she was.Her breathing had changed. It became short and uneven She stared at the woman standing a few feet away. Same eyes. Same mouth. Same face she had longed to see for years and could never quite hold onto.Damain broke the silence by speaking first. “Who the hell are you?”“I told you. I’m their aunt.” came the woman's reply.Damian turned slowly to Aria, his eyes demanding answers.Zara shook her head. “No, wait. What do you mean you’re their aunt? Why do you look like Aria?” She looked back and forth between them. “Aria, why does she look like you? What is going on? I don’t think I’m seeing straight.”Aria’s lips parted but nothing came out at first. Everything felt loud in her head. Her pulse. Her breathing.Then she whispered the name.“Mira.”The woman’s expression shifted, small smile appeared. “Hello, sister. It'

    The hospital doors slid open, and Aria rushed in with Adrian clutched tightly against her chest.“He’s burning up,” she told the nurse at the emergency desk, her voice shaking. “He won’t wake up.”Within seconds, they were moving. A stretcher. Quick hands. Calm voices that felt too calm for her racing heart.They took Adrian from her arms and wheeled him through double doors. Aria followed until a nurse gently stopped her.“Ma’am, please wait here.”“They’re going to run tests,” another nurse assured her. “We’ll take care of him.”Aria stood frozen as they disappeared down the corridor. Her hands still felt the weight of him.A few minutes later, a pediatric doctor approached her.“We’re running blood work and checking for infection,” he explained steadily. “He has a very high fever. We’ve placed him on IV fluids to stabilize him.”“Why isn’t he waking up?” Aria asked, her voice barely steady.

    Clara narrowed her eyes at Jaxon. “So you did research on me? Like you went behind my back and ran a background check?”Her tone wasn’t loud, but it was sharp. The playful mood in the room shifted slightly.Jaxon didn’t flinch. He simply shrugged, his expression calm. “It’s necessary to know details about everyone connected to Zara. To check if there are threats. Or risks.”“Threats?” Clara repeated. “I’m her friend, not a criminal.”“I didn’t say you were,” he replied evenly. “It’s procedure.”Clara huffed under her breath. “That’s still breaching someone’s privacy.”Jaxon met her gaze without apology. “Privacy is a luxury in my line of work.”She didn’t respond after that. She crossed her arms and looked away, clearly displeased. She valued her independence. She valued her space. Knowing someone had looked into her life without her consent unsettled her more than she expected.Zara sighed softly. “Clara, I’m sorry. On his behalf.”“You don’t need to apologize,” Jaxon said.“I do,” Z

Her eyes widened as she took in the tall men filling the doorway.Zara smiled at Jaxon as he walked straight to her bedside. He leaned in and kissed her gently.Damian did the same. He went straight to his wife and kissed her deeply on the lips, slow and unguarded, like he’d forgotten they weren’t alone.Clara was left staring at Christian, who was casually leaning against the doorframe. She felt heat crawl up her neck when his intense gaze settled on her. Instinctively, she looked down and wiped the pasta sauce from her lips, suddenly self-conscious.“W

    Clara rushed to the bed and hugged Zara gently, careful of the wires and tubes."Oh my God." She held the hand that didn’t have an IV attached to it, clutching it like she was afraid Zara might disappear if she let go.“How are you feeling? Are you okay?” she asked in a rush. “You had me worried.”Tears streamed freely down her face, her voice breaking despite her effort to stay calm. The steady beep of the monitor was the only thing grounding her, proof that Zara was still here.Zara smiled weakly. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to put you all in this state.”Her voice was soft, full of guilt. She hated seeing Clara like this. Hated knowing she was the reason for the fear sitting in everyone’s eyes.Clara shook her head, wiping at her tears. “I thought I wouldn’t see you anymore. I mean… after years of not seeing you, I only got to see you once. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.”Her voice cracked on the last word. She let out a shaky breath, as if saying it out loud made the fear mo

    The cold night air hit Aria like a slap as she rushed out of the grand, glittering ballroom. Her heels clicked against the marble steps as she descended, chest rising and falling with a silent fury. She stood just outside the entrance, wrapped in shadows, the sound of the music fading behind her. He

    Damian sat in his home office, the blue light of his laptop screen casting shadows on his brooding face. Numbers and contracts flashed before him, but nothing held his attention—not fully. No matter how many calls he took, how many emails he responded to, his thoughts kept trailing back to her. Ar

    Monday morning crept in quietly, with a pale gray light filtering through the curtains. Aria reached across the bed instinctively, but her hand met cold sheets. Damian was gone. She sighed and pulled herself up. The lingering warmth from the night before had disappeared—not just from the bed, but

    “Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Ariiiiaaa—happy birthday to you!” Zara’s off-key but enthusiastic voice rang through the phone speaker, instantly bringing a smile to Aria’s face.“Zara!” Aria laughed, rolling her eyes fondly as she sat up on the edge of her bed. “
