CALHOUN'S POV:

Back in New York city and retired back to my office building after the rushed flight home, one of my secretaries approached me swiftly in the hallway, her tablet clutched tightly.

"Sir, your mother is inside your office waiting for you," she informed me professionally, to which I merely hummed in acknowledgment, my mind still miles away.

Heading inside, I immediately sighted a familiar, elegant silhouette standing by the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, her gaze overlooking the sprawling city view far below.

Her long hair was let loose in soft waves down her back, initially hiding her face from view.

But the second I began making my way toward my desk chair, her neck tilted gracefully, turning to face me fully.

"Where were you?" Morgan, my mother, asked directly, folding her arms across her chest with a strict, probing stare that I knew all too well.

I guessed she wasn't here to discuss business matters, as she often did when dropping by unannounced.

  • WHITE CLOVER    Chapter 72: The graveyard

    CLOVER'S POVAs the driver pulled over smoothly at the family ancestral graveyard, he immediately stepped out and opened the door for me with practiced courtesy, offering a steady hand to help me navigate the uneven ground.Shit, I was late...Today was Raquel's burial, the official funeral day. I had deliberately skipped the church service earlier, feigning lingering weakness from the hospital, but missing the actual graveside ceremony entirely would raise too many suspicious eyebrows...It turned out that Raquel had been assassinated, targeted by a rival gang she was deeply entangled with, from what the hushed rumors and police reports suggested.I didn't know all the gritty details, and frankly, I didn't want to. But from what little had leaked out... the wicked old granny had apparently been far more than just a controlling matriarch. She had secretly run an entire underground drug-dealing operation for years, pulling strings from the shadows even in her later age.Perhaps her

  • WHITE CLOVER    Chapter 71: Fully Awake

    CLOVER'S POVA warm breeze grazed my cheeks gently, stirring me from the depths of darkness. My eyes fluttered open hazily, vision blurred and unfocused as I stared into a hazy nothingness, the world around me swimming in soft, indistinct shapes.The second I tried to move my body, a deep grunt escaped my lips at the overwhelming stiffness and numbing pain that shot through every muscle and joint. Gently twisting my neck to the side, wincing at the sharp pull,.I sighted my mom seated next to my bed in a stiff hospital chair, her head tilted back slightly as she softly snored, exhausted from what must have been endless hours of vigilant watching.As the strong, unmistakable metallic scent of antiseptic hit my nose, mingled vividly with the underlying notes of bleach, stale recycled air, faint traces of latex gloves, and that peculiar sterile tang unique to hospitals, my nostrils wrinkled instinctively in discomfort."Mom..." I called out softly, my voice weak and raspy from disuse as

  • WHITE CLOVER    Chapter 70: The culprit

    CALHOUN'S POVClick**In a swift, instinctive moment, I withdrew my hand from her face as if burned, my eyes drifting coldly toward the door to see the old lady frozen in the place, her wrinkled hands clamped tightly over her mouth, eyes wide with undisguised shock."Did I just hear you say that you love her?" she sneered in a harsh whisper after a beat, lowering her hands and folding her arms tightly across her chest as she advanced into the room with a deep, wrinkly frown etched across her face.A mischievous, dangerous smirk tugged at the corners of my lips as I turned fully and advanced toward her with deliberate steps.And here I was thinking no family member would visit except for Clover's mother...Yet somehow, the one who wanted her dead the most had slinked in at this ungodly hour of the night, dressed head-to-toe in black like she was already mourning or perhaps preparing to finish the job..."Age hasn't faulted your eardrums yet, has it?" I replied indifferently, my tone la

  • WHITE CLOVER    Chapter 69: My confession

    Calhoun's POVBy the time evening fell, the sky bruising into deep purples and grays, I drove straight from the office to the old mansion on the outskirts of the city to pay grandfather a long-overdue, uninvited visit.The weight of the day pressed down on me relentlessly, like a storm cloud heavy with unspoken thunder. Even Morgan's probing words from earlier echoed in my head, repeating on an endless loop. Admitting out loud that I loved Clover had cracked something deep inside me, something raw and vulnerable...But right now, none of that mattered. All that consumed me was the burning need to see her, to be in the same room as her, even if she couldn't see or hear me.And for that to happen, I needed this old bastard's unwitting help.I stormed into the mansion without knocking, shoving the heavy oak door open so hard it slammed against the inner wall with a resounding crash that echoed through the empty halls.Thereafter I head to the one place he'd be...the study.At the stud

  • WHITE CLOVER    Chapter 67: Haunting memories

    CALHOUN'S POV:The moment we arrived in Chicago and the car pulled up outside the private hospital where Clover had been admitted, I spotted Dylan at the reception desk, deep in conversation with a nurse. His posture was tense, professional as always.Without wasting a second, Simon and I strode purposefully toward him, my shoes echoing sharply against the polished marble floor."Good morning, sir," Dylan greeted respectfully, straightening up immediately.I wasn't here for pleasantries or small talk. One sharp, narrowed glare from me was enough to make him understand that instantly. His expression shifted, becoming more serious."From what I've gathered from the doctors, sir... the young lady might not be waking up from the coma anytime soon," he reported carefully, his voice low.My eyes froze in bewildered shock. In that instant, the arm I had casually folded across my chest fell loosely to my side. Those words alone were enough to send my blood boiling, rage and fear twisting
