The room was quiet, save for the occasional gurgle from the tiny bundle lying in Xander’s arms. He stood beside the window, gently rocking his daughter, his eyes filled with a soft kind of wonder that only a new father could understand.

For a moment, everything else melted away—the betrayal from his father, the lies he was keeping from June, the ache in his side where he had given a part of himself to save her. None of it mattered now. Not when he was holding his miracle.

She was perfect.

Delicate fingers curled slightly in sleep, tiny lips parted in the gentlest pout. Her lashes, long and dark, brushed against her cheeks. Xander studied her features in awe, trying to memorize every detail—the shape of her nose, the faint dimple in her chin, the way her breathing soothed something broken inside him.

June entered the room quietly, barefoot, her hospital robe flowing around her frame. She paused at the doorway and watched the scene unfold before her. Her husband—strong, flawed, loyal Xa

  • When love turns to ashes    I will make things right

    Xander sat on the edge of the hospital bed, the sterile smell of antiseptics and faint beeping from machines surrounding him in a kind of dull haze. His body ached in places he hadn’t even realized could ache, but it wasn’t the physical pain that consumed him—it was the weight of the secret he was carrying. Just as the nurse wheeled June’s discharge papers into the room, Dr. Lawrence entered with a clipboard in one hand and a grim expression on his face.“Mr. Xander he began, his voice low and steady, “before you go home, we need to talk.”Xander looked up at him slowly. The fatigue had carved dark shadows under his eyes, and his skin had lost much of its usual glow, but his determination remained sharp. “Is it about the surgery?”“Yes,” Dr. Lawrence nodded. “I’ve looked over your latest scans. Everything appears to be stable for now. But you must understand something—donating a kidney is a serious sacrifice, even more so considering the emotional and physical strain you've been under

  • When love turns to ashes    The press conference

    The day of the press conference arrived with a tense energy that buzzed through the air like electricity before a storm. The hall was filled to capacity journalists, shareholders, curious onlookers, and business analysts all crowded into the vast auditorium, cameras flashing and microphones poised. Whispers floated around the room as everyone speculated about the shocking announcement that had been teased in the media all week. No one truly knew what was coming only that the family was at the heart of it.When Lionel , the iron-willed patriarch of the conglomerate, stepped onto the stage, the room immediately fell silent. He was dressed in his signature charcoal grey suit, his silver hair combed back meticulously. The man carried the air of authority, with sharp eyes that seemed to strip away all pretenses.Behind him, the enlarged logo of the Group and the newly acquired Williams Corporation loomed boldly on a screen. Cameras flashed wildly as Lionel approached the podium with a fir

  • When love turns to ashes    I will give my kidney

    The operating room was already being prepared when Xander was wheeled into the pre-op area. The sharp scent of antiseptic filled the air, mingling with the sterile chill of the room. Nurses moved briskly around, checking equipment, readying surgical tools, and reviewing charts. Despite the cold, Xander felt a sheen of sweat on his brow. Not from fear but from the weight of what he was about to do.The doctor, Dr. Winston , stood beside him holding the consent forms, his face a mask of concern. He had seen men make sacrifices before, but few with this level of calm, selfless resolve.“Mr. Xander,” he said quietly, “before we proceed, I need to ask you again… Are you sure you want to go through with this?”Xander looked up at him, eyes unwavering. “Yes.”Dr. Winston hesitated. “You understand that, in rare cases, this surgery could lead to serious complications. Loss of mobility. Even permanent paralysis. If something goes wrong with the spinal anesthesia, or if your body reacts adverse

  • When love turns to ashes    Second chance

    Xander sat still as the nurse carefully collected the blood samples, her gloved hands working swiftly and professionally, but he couldn’t feel anything anymore—not the prick of the needle, not the sting of pain, not even the ache in his back from hours of sitting. His mind was in a haze, a tunnel of grief, panic, and desperate hope. He kept staring at the tray of vials filled with his blood as if they were some sort of offering—his sacrifice, his gift, his last attempt to save the woman who had changed his life in ways he couldn’t begin to explain.Once the samples were collected, the nurse quietly reassured him that the test results would be prioritized and expedited, considering the urgency. Then she gently touched his shoulder and left the room. The moment the door closed, Xander slumped forward, burying his face in his palms.His heart ached.He wasn’t prepared for this. No one ever is. He had come to the hospital terrified about the baby, terrified about June’s labor pains. But t

  • When love turns to ashes    June might not make it

    As the team vanished again behind the heavy doors of the operating theatre, Xander stood frozen. The walls felt like they were closing in on him. He sat, then stood, then paced. Every time he closed his eyes, all he could see was June lying pale and fragile on that hospital bed, struggling to smile through her pain. He clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white. He would have traded places with her in a heartbeat if he could.He thought of the first time he laid eyes on her June in her simple white dress, standing in the garden with the sun on her face. How she’d made him laugh. How she’d held his hand when no one else believed in him. How she’d stood by him when his own family turned their backs. She had loved him when he had nothing. And now, all he could do was sit here and pray to a God he hadn’t spoken to in years.“Please,” he whispered. “Please don’t take her from me. Please don’t take my baby.”The doors finally creaked open after what felt like an eternity.Xander jum
