It was 11:39 p.m. by the time Desmond helped Olive out of the car in front of the hotel.

The clinic had discharged her only after the doctor was satisfied that her condition had remained stable throughout the day. The bleeding had stopped, the baby’s heartbeat was strong, and although Olive was still weak and sore, there was no immediate reason to keep her there. Desmond had listened carefully to every instruction. She needed plenty of rest. She needed to avoid anything strenuous. She needed an

  • You Lost Me, Desmond Vaughn    The unexpected

    The Sterling Couture shoot was scheduled for ten that morning.By seven-thirty, the production team was already gathering downstairs. Garment bags were being carried through the lobby, makeup artists were checking their kits, and one of the assistants was speaking hurriedly into her phone as she tried to confirm the schedule.They had already tried knocking on Genevieve's door, but there had been no response from inside.Alain checked his watch when the report reached to him.Seven-thirty.He looked at his phone.Nothing. No calls from her. No text messages from her too.He called Genevieve.The phone rang.No answer.He frowned and tried again, but the result was the same.At first, he told himself she was avoiding him after what he had said the night before. He had finally said the words he had kept buried for too long, and he knew Genevieve had been left confused by them.But Genevieve had never been careless about work. Whatever was happening between them, she would never allow he

    “I don't want you to go back to him, Genevieve.”The words stopped her cold.Genevieve stared at Alain, unable to decide whether she had heard him correctly. His voice had been quiet, almost restrained, but there was something underneath it that she couldn't ignore. Something raw enough to make her chest tighten.She slowly shook her head.“Why?”Alain looked away.“Forget I said that.”“No.”Her voice came out softer than she intended, but she didn't move away from him.“You don't get to say something like that and then tell me to forget it. Why don't you want me to go back to Desmond? Is there something I don't know?”Alain remained silent.Genevieve searched his face, growing more confused with every second he refused to answer. She had known him long enough to recognize when he was avoiding something, and tonight he wasn't simply avoiding her question. He was fighting with himself.“Alain.”He finally looked at her.“You really don't see it, do you?”Her brows drew together.“See

    It was 11:39 p.m. by the time Desmond helped Olive out of the car in front of the hotel.The clinic had discharged her only after the doctor was satisfied that her condition had remained stable throughout the day. The bleeding had stopped, the baby’s heartbeat was strong, and although Olive was still weak and sore, there was no immediate reason to keep her there. Desmond had listened carefully to every instruction. She needed plenty of rest. She needed to avoid anything strenuous. She needed another examination soon, and if the pain returned or she started bleeding again, they were to take her straight back to the clinic.Under normal circumstances, Desmond would have taken her home. But it was already late, and Olive had convinced him that she didn’t want to return to the mansion tonight. She knew exactly what would happen if they went back. The servants would notice her condition. Someone would start asking questions. His family would eventually find out, and before long, everyone w

  • You Lost Me, Desmond Vaughn    A hint of care

    Silence filled the room for a moment.“What?”“She was injured last night. I brought her to a private clinic.”Olive’s eyes widened.“Ethan, What are you doing?” she whispered, panic immediately tightening her chest. “Don’t tell him.”Ethan looked at her, then brought the phone back to his ear. Desmond’s voice immediately changed.“Is she okay?”“She needs rest. The doctor is monitoring her.”“Text me the address now. I’ll be on my way.”Ethan looked at Olive again. The tension in her eyes was impossible to miss. She was practically begging him not to tell Desmond. Ethan’s expression hardened slightly.“Okay.”He ended the call. Olive stared at him.“You shouldn’t have answered.”“We’re talking about your life and your baby’s life,” Ethan said quietly. “The family should know what’s happening. Even if you don’t want anyone else to know, Desmond should.”Olive opened her mouth, but no words came. She didn’t know how to explain it. Ethan placed the phone back on the nightstand after sen

  • You Lost Me, Desmond Vaughn    The baby

    Olive woke to the faint, rhythmic beeping of a monitor. For several seconds, she didn’t know where she was. The ceiling above her was unfamiliar, painted a dull white that seemed almost too bright for her aching eyes. A sharp antiseptic smell lingered in the air, and somewhere nearby, medical equipment hummed softly.She tried to move. Pain immediately pulled through her abdomen. Olive sucked in a shaky breath and instinctively placed a hand over her stomach. The memories came rushing back — her parents, her mother’s hand in her hair, her father’s grip around her arm, the pavement, the blood. Her breath caught. She pushed herself up slightly, panic flooding her chest.“My baby…”The movement made her dizzy. Before she could try again, a man in a white coat stepped toward her.“Easy. Don’t sit up too quickly.”Olive looked at him with frightened eyes. The doctor placed a hand near her shoulder, helping her settle back against the pillow.“You’re safe. Just lie still for me.”“Where am

  • You Lost Me, Desmond Vaughn    Years of pain

    Olive remained pressed against the wall long after Isabella’s car disappeared from sight. Her fingers were still wrapped tightly around the envelope of money, but she could barely feel it anymore. Isabella had found them — the people Olive had spent years trying to erase from her life, the people she had once believed were dead, the people she had prayed would never find her again. Her chest tightened painfully.When Olive had been seven, she had been taken in by the couple after they convinced the orphanage that they wanted to give a lonely child a home. They had appeared kind in front of the staff. They had smiled at Olive, promised her a family, and acted as though they had rescued her. It hadn’t lasted long. The moment Olive was alone with them, everything changed. She became a child they could use. They made her work around the house from a young age. When she started earning money, they took almost everything she made. If she protested, her father beat her. Her mother watched an
