*Richard's POV*

“How bad is it?” I asked the nurse, my voice was hoarse and tired.

She didn’t answer right away. After the team had stabilized me, only she remained in the room, quietly adjusting the sheets and checking the machines around my bed.

The silence stretched. I gathered what little strength I had and spoke again, more firmly. “Please… I need the pure truth. No gentle lies. How much time do I really have left?”

The nurse finally looked at me, her eyes filled with deep sadness. She to

  • Twin Betrayal; Pregnant With My Ex Baby,Married To His Rival   Chapter 14

    *Elena's POV*I laughed a little and quickly used my hands to cover my mouth the moment Andrea stood up and headed upstairs with that dramatic flair. Liam also laughed softly beside me and continued eating as if nothing had happened, but I could see the relief in his eyes.Then Liam looked at me and asked gently, “How is the food? Is it okay for you? Be honest.”I nodded, taking another bite. “It’s quite good. Really delicious actually. The flavors are perfect.”He smiled warmly, his eyes lighting up. “I asked the chef specifically to make it really good and nice for you. I wanted everything to be perfect tonight, especially for you and the baby.”I stared at him for a moment, feeling a mix of surprise and warmth spreading through my chest. He noticed my gaze and jokingly asked, “Is there something on my face? That must be why you’ve been staring for so long.”I laughed it off, feeling a little shy, then asked him straight out, my voice soft but curious, “Why are you being so overly k

    *Elena's POV**Kon kon!*The gentle knock from a maid made me open the door.“Ma'am, dinner is ready,” she said politely. “Mr. Harrington insists it is important that you come down to eat with everyone.”I had just finished my night bath and was feeling fresh in my comfortable silk robe. I nodded quietly. “Okay. I’ll be down in a minute.”I changed into a simple loose dress that softly hid my bump and followed the maid downstairs. My stomach twisted the moment I saw the dining table. Liam and Andrea were already seated. Andrea looked perfectly put together, while Liam’s eyes lifted the second I appeared.He raised his head and fixed his gaze on me. A small, warm smile touched his lips. That tiny smile made something flutter in my chest, and I couldn’t help letting out a little smile in return.“Come join us, dear. The dinner is lovely,” Andrea said sweetly, but her eyes carried a cold edge that made my heart sink a little.I nodded and took the empty seat across from Liam. The chef im

    * Liam's POV *“Enough!” I said with fierceness. My voice cut through the room like a whip, and the whole place went dead quiet.Elena stood there with wide, hurt eyes. Andrea’s smug smile faltered for a second. I took a deep breath, trying to control the anger boiling inside me.“Elena… please give us privacy to talk,” I said, my voice became softer for her but was still firm.Elena stared at me in disbelief for a long moment. The pain in her eyes hit me straight in the chest. It hurt me deeply that she felt this way on the very first day, but I needed to handle Andrea first. After what felt like forever, Elena turned without a word and walked upstairs, her shoulders were stiff with hurt.I waited until I heard her door close before turning to Andrea. “What are you doing here?”Andrea crossed her arms, lifting her chin defiantly. “I have every right to be here, Liam. After all, I’m your girlfriend.”I folded my arms tightly across my chest, anger rising fast. “We are not a thing, And

    *Elena's POV*“You don’t have to sign immediately if you don’t feel comfortable… take your time,” Liam said gently, his eyes were soft as he watched me.We were sitting in the elegant living room of Liam’s huge mansion. The lawyer sat across from us with the thick contract papers spread neatly on the mahogany table. My hand hovered over the pen. I hesitated, my fingers were trembling slightly. Then I looked down at my little baby bump, gently pressing my palm against it. This was for the baby. For our future. I took a deep breath and signed my name on the dotted line.The lawyer nodded with a professional smile. “Congratulations to both of you. This is a legally binding contract marriage that will automatically terminate after exactly one year. Any party who goes against the terms we have signed today will face full legal consequences. No exceptions.”We both nodded in unison, our eyes meeting for a brief second.The lawyer gathered his documents, shook our hands, and left. The heavy

How much time do I really have left?”The nurse finally looked at me, her eyes filled with deep sadness. She took a slow breath before replying. “Mr. Harrington… at best, you have about a year. But it won’t be easy. You’ll be on very strong medication. The pain will be constant and severe. And even that one year… it’s not guaranteed.”Her voice trembled with genuine emotion as she spoke.I nodded slowly, letting the truth sink in. “I understand. Thank you for not hiding it from me.”After a moment, I added quietly, “With so little time left… I need to fix the wrongs I’ve done in my life. I don’t want to

    * Liam's POV *“Tell me about your Dad,” Elena asked softly after we sat down to eat lunch together at a restaurant near the hospital.I paused with the fork halfway to my mouth. The question hit me harder than I expected.“Whenever Dad had those same episodes before,” I started, my voice low, “it was just me and me alone. I would struggle through it all by myself. Calling the doctors, watching the monitors, sitting there praying he’d pull through. No one else was there. It was just me.”Elena’s eyes softened. She reached across the table and touched my hand lightly. “It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it.”“No, no,” I said quickly, shaking my head. “I want to talk about it. Really.”I took a deep breath and continued. “Dad may not be the perfect father. He’s harsh most of the time. He lacks emotion. Not to forget he is very strict and completely business-oriented, not family-oriented at all. But… he sure does love his only son. That’s me.”Elena nodded, listening carefully.“H
