“This is the only condition the chairman left before his demise.” Mr. Roland said in a concluding tone. “Perhaps we would have been able to cover this secret and find an alternative if the press had not been so nosy. The news got out too fast, and there is no way to hide it anymore.”

    “This is the only condition the chairman left before his demise.” Mr. Roland said in a concluding tone. “Perhaps we would have been able to cover this secret and find an alternative if the press had not been so nosy. The news got out too fast, and there is no way to hide it anymore.”Daniel and Cassian shared a knowing glance. The older man looked at him as if it were his fault. The lawyer had been saying a lot of things since they got into his office, but Cassian barely heard anything. All he had on his mind was Marina. He had left her at home, still in that gloomy state.“They are always around me. I had no idea they were hiding in my house. I instructed my security team to deal with the unnecessary paparazzi. Guess they failed at that, too.” Cassian muttered, avoiding the men’s heavy gazes on him.“Must it be within this year?” Daniel asked, ignoring Cassian. “We all know he tried to produce an heir, but it failed. This is no one’s fault. He possibly wouldn’t have gotten multiple w

    ONE WEEK LATERCassian was still reeling in disbelief. It was hard to accept that they lost the baby after all the careful measures that were put in place.He wasn’t a real son of the Vale, but he had worked so hard to get the empire to where it was today, and he had thought for once in his life, he’d have what belonged to him.But fate had other ways of playing its course, always failing him and letting him know that he might never truly get what he wanted out of life. He lost his child, lost his position, and now, the man he cared about was gradually slipping out of his hands.Resting his head against the steering wheel, he thought of the call he had just had with the lawyer. He had paid his condolences, calling for an urgent meeting immediately after. Cassian knew what the meeting would be about, but he hoped there would be other conditions that would favor him.Considering how much he was cherished by the Vale Couple, they must have prepared other conditions if he didn’t meet the

    “How is our baby, Cassian?” Marina asked, her lips forming a small curve. She rubbed her hands over her belly, trying to remember how the labor had gone. There was no baby’s cry, but she delivered. She knew she did before she passed out. She glanced at Cassian, who stood before her with sad eyes. “I was wondering why she didn’t cry. Babies are meant to cry on their first day on Earth, aren’t they?”His insides pierced. Sharp, stabbing pains hit him, but he remained composed on the outside. He needed to be strong for them.“Marina,” he lowered his hand to touch her, but she flinched, shaking her head.Tears had quickly welled up in her eyes. He was certain she already knew what was happening, but was still living in denial. She was still running away from confronting the truth.“Before passing out,” her breath was coming out unevenly, scaring him. “I overheard the doctor talking about a dead baby. A woman lost her baby.” She placed her hands on her tummy again. It was still swollen, bu

    “We gave her the best treatments. The best team worked with her throughout the process of this pregnancy, but it’s so unfortunate that even with the best medical attention, some pregnancies can’t continue. She delivered the baby, but it's a stillbirth."Cassian felt life had been drained out of him at the news. "A stillbirth? What happened? Where did we go wrong?” His voice was low. He was almost too weak to utter a word.“It’s not your fault, nor is it hers.” Doctor Brenda sighed, her eyes carrying that pitiful look Cassian loathed so much. “Right now, all we can do is monitor her closely to ensure there isn’t excessive bleeding or infection, and we’ll manage her pain.”Her pain? He scoffed. The last words replayed in his mind. Why did she have to go through pain when all she did was try to give life to another life? Just like, they lost their baby.A sharp pain crossed through his at the thought. He never meant for it to turn out this way. He blamed himself for letting her make him s

    “Thank you, it’s been such a long time, I almost forgot how they taste.”The corners of her lips lifted into a smile as she regarded Cassian’s words.“I’m glad you love them.” She bit on some, looking back at him briefly. “I guess I’ll have to teach Clara and Marina how to make these snacks so you get to eat them more often.” Then she rolled her eyes. “Though Clara claims to be an international chef, I wonder why she can’t make these.”“That woman claims to be everything she’s not,” Cassian added dryly.Marina laughed. “I agree with you.” The pain hit again, but it was mild this time. didn’t stay for long before it dissolved. “What else would you like me to make for you?”“Nothing else, Marina. I won’t have you stressing yourself to make food for me when I have staff for that.”Knowing there was no point in arguing with him, she agreed with a shrug. “You don’t strike me as someone who likes late-night snacking.”“I don’t,” he said, wiping crumbs off his lips. “But what do I do when my

    Cassian stood close to the window, taking in the view of the city from their bedroom. Marina walked in, halting in front of her closet for a moment. She picked up a dress, grumbling about how it no longer fit her.“I’m not ready to buy more dresses, Cassian.” She walked over to him, tossing the dress onto the chair near the window.“If they are needed, why not?” He turned around to look at her.“Don’t look at me like that, I know I’ve gotten so big.” Heat flooded her cheeks as she closed the distance between them. “More like a balloon.”He hadn’t noticed it before now, but she was wearing the teddy bear onesie he got her a few weeks ago. He watched her with interest, his lips curling in a light smile.“Where have you been all evening?” He asked as he took slow steps towards her. “You look so cute in that onesie.”She bobbed her head. “Now, I’m convinced you got it so you could laugh at me when I wear them.” She turned, ready to take the onesie off, but he caught her arms, stopping her

    Cassian checked his wristwatch for the umpteenth time, but there were still no traces of her. He tapped the table impatiently. It was bad enough that she was the only one allowed to keep him waiting for this long. He couldn’t complain even if he wanted to. He needed her. Needed her help before he l

    Lines of goosebumps spread across her skin, a greater percentage of it forming from his touch, and had absolutely nothing to do with the cold weather.“We’re outside.” She reminded him when he brought his fingers up to part her lips.The city was quiet, but there could be people watching them, wait

    A WEEK LATERMarina’s questioning gaze remained on Cassian as he guided her into the elevator. She had been asking him why they were alone in a towering skyscraper that night, but he had answered all her questions with subtle smiles.“What are we doing here?” She asked again, now that they were on

    Considering how the paparazzi had swarmed them last time, Marina had been reluctant to follow Cassian to the café when he suggested they visit again after they finished their business at the hospital. He wanted them to spend time together, continue discussing the baby, and she eventually agreed.Th
