The shop was loud.

Voices ran everywhere. Rosa shouted for someone to call, but no one moved fast. Savannah was still on the floor. She did not move, she did not open her eyes.

Outside the shop, cars passed the street, horns loud. Then one car stopped. Not a normal car. A black car, the latest, shiny like glass. The door opened quick. A man stepped out.

He wore a clean suit, tall, sharp face. His watch shined. His shoes looked new, not a spot on them. People turned to look, but he did not care. His eyes went straight to the shop where the voices came.

“What happened here?” he shouted, his voice deep.

Rosa looked up from the floor. “She fainted, sir. She just fell, I don’t know what happened.”

The man’s face turned hard. He stepped forward, almost pushing people out of the way. He knelt down near Savannah, his eyes sharp. He touched her wrist, felt her weak pulse, and then looked at the workers.

“Why are you standing here like fools?” he barked. “Why has no one taken her

  • Too Late , I am Carrying His Child    Chapter 150

    The house was calm, the kind of quiet that only came after a long day. Nathaniel had just finished showering when he walked into the bedroom and found Cassandra standing by the mirror, brushing her long hair slowly. Her red gown from dinner was gone, replaced by a soft silk night robe that flowed down her skin like water. He paused, watching her reflection. For a second, it reminded him of old times — before everything became complicated, before the lies and the distance. Cassandra turned and caught him staring. She smiled softly. “What?” Nathaniel smiled back. “You’re beautiful, Cass. I almost forgot how much.” She laughed lightly, setting the brush down. “You forgot? That’s rude.” He walked closer, his voice low. “Then maybe I should remind myself.” She looked up at him, her eyes calm but hiding something deeper. He reached out, gently touching her face. The warmth of his hand against her skin made her heart beat faster, though she didn’t know if it was love or guilt

    The sun was already setting when Nathaniel walked into the living room, car keys in hand. Cassandra was sitting on the couch, scrolling through her phone, pretending to be busy. But deep inside, she had been waiting for him to say something. Nathaniel smiled a little. “Get dressed,” he said softly. She looked up, pretending to be surprised. “Where are we going?” He shrugged. “Out. It’s been long since we went anywhere together. You’ve been staying home too much lately. Let’s go have some fun, Cass.” For a second, she just stared at him. Part of her wanted to say no, but another part — the one that loved attention and fine things — pushed her to agree. She smiled, standing up quickly. “Alright then, give me a few minutes.” She ran upstairs to change into a short red gown and light makeup. When she came down, Nathaniel’s eyes widened a little. She still knew how to get his attention. “You look beautiful,” he said. “Thanks,” she replied with a smile, holding his arm. They

    Cassandra sat in her car outside a small cafe. Her hands shook. The notebook lay on the passenger seat, pages full of names and plans. She reread the last line she had written and felt a cold on her skin. Power was close. So close it tasted like metal in her mouth.She pushed the car door open and walked in. Vanessa was already inside, sipping coffee, face calm. Cassandra slid into the seat across and stared at Vanessa for a long breath. Her face was hard now. No sweet smile. Only hunger.“Vanessa,” she said, voice low. “We need to step up the plan. Quiet is slow. I want it done faster.”Vanessa looked at her quietly. “Cass, slow is safe. We agreed small noise first. You said you wanted no police, no blood. What changed?”Cassandra’s eyes flashed. “Everything changed,” she hissed. “They laugh. He holds her. He walks like he owns the world. I can’t watch that. I can’t live like that. I want him gone, Vanessa. I want everything gone.”Vanessa’s hand tightened around her cup. “Gone

    Cassandra sat at her desk and stared at the company logo on the wall. The room was quiet. Morning light fell across her fingers. Her coffee went cold. She felt hollow and angry at the same time.How do you take a company from a man who built it with his hands? she asked herself. All the plans in her head felt small when she looked at the real thing — the boardroom, the lawyers, the names on paper. Power lived there. Not in pretty dresses or sweet words.She stood and walked to the window. Cars moved below like small beetles. People were living their normal lives. She tasted the truth: she had no clear map. She had to make one.She took a pen and a new notebook. The page was white and scared. Slowly she wrote the first word: *Force*. The word looked loud on the paper.Then she wrote questions, simple and hard.Who owns the shares?Who can vote with me?What legal moves break the trust?Where is the paper trail?Who will help me quietly?She tapped the pen and closed her eyes. Me

    Cassandra woke up early that morning, the sun barely touching her face through the white curtains. She sat up slowly, her mind already full of plans. She had cried enough, and now, she told herself, it was time to act. She walked to the mirror and stared at her reflection. Her eyes looked tired, but she smiled anyway — a fake one, the kind that could fool anyone. “From today,” she whispered to herself, “no more tears. No more weakness. Nathaniel will never see me as a fool again.” She stood up, brushed her hair neatly, and wore a simple silk robe. When she stepped out of the room, the maids greeted her carefully, their eyes full of fear. They had all seen how she slapped Rose last time for asking an innocent question. “Good morning, ma’am,” one of them said softly. Cassandra smiled sweetly, to everyone’s surprise. “Good morning, girls. I hope you all slept well.” They nodded quickly, whispering to one another as she walked away. Inside the dining room, the smell of breakfa

    The night was quiet, but Mr. Ben could not sleep. He turned from one side of the bed to the other, sweating even though the fan was on. His wife, Mama Grace, lay beside him, weak and coughing softly. The sound broke his heart each time. He sat up and rubbed his head. Clara’s voice kept ringing in his mind — *“You’ll just be my eyes and ears.”* He looked at the money on the table — so much of it, wrapped neatly in bands. He had never held that much in his entire life. It could pay his rent, buy his wife’s drugs, and even feed them for months. But deep down, he knew the money was dirty. Mama Grace turned to him slowly. “Ben… why are you not sleeping?” she asked weakly. He sighed and forced a smile. “Nothing, my dear. Just thinking.” She coughed again. “You’re thinking too much. I know that face. Something is wrong.” Ben didn’t answer right away. He reached for a glass of water and handed it to her. “Drink, my dear. Don’t worry about me.” But she was not fooled. “Ben,
