Jessica was pacing back and forth in her room, she was stressed with her father’s decision for Rylie and pissed with her fiancé’s non-stop ranting about how Rylie’s presence can be uncomfortable for them.“Let me be very clear with you, Jessica. I have lots of options but I chose you!! You should be thankful to me instead of presenting prepositions. I already said Rylie can’t be a part of my family. Your dad has kept her identity hidden for seven fucking years and it will continue. She has to go away and you have to make up your mind or I should tell your dad? He might help you in decision making,” Her fiance said and ended the call without listening to her.Jessica bites inside of her cheek, “I wish mom was here. Maybe I wouldn’t have to deal with this alone,” She thought. Tears slipped from the corner of her eyes and she quickly removed them when she heard a knock on her door.“Come in.” She turned to face the door and Rylie’s nanny walked in.“Rylie is ready to leave. Do you know w

Christian was sitting on the bench in the garden of the hospital. He put his intertwined fingers under his chin and prayed for Kiara when his bodyguard appeared with a spare shirt for him to change.“Go away, leave me alone!” He barked, but his bodyguard didn’t leave.“Sir, it’s not your fault.” He spoke softly.“It is my fault!! It is….” Christian looked up at him, his eyes bloodshot red. “Most of the time I ignore talking on the phone, but I had to take that call when she was with me!! I am so fucking stupid.” He rubbed his face. “Just this morning… Mishka said to keep eyes on her always… and look what I did!”“It is very unfortunate!!” The bodyguard said remorsefully.“It’s not unfortunate. It is my negligence, and I will never forgive myself.” Christian covered his face. The bodyguard was about to open his mouth again when he saw Jake walking inside the hospital and he knitted his brows.***It was late in the evening when the doctors checked Kiara again and stepped out of her war

“Where is mummy?” Kiara asked Christian, who was sitting beside her on the bed, caressing her back while reading a book with his eyeglasses on.“She will be back soon, Kiara. Now sleep, you need to rest!” He said, his eyes pinned on the page he was reading.“But I don’t want to sleep.” Kiara pouted. “Read me this story!!” She exclaimed.“You won’t understand, sweetheart,” Christian smiled. “This story is complicated.”“Try Me!!” Kiara turned to his side.***“Warren, I don’t know if I’d ever get over him,” Mishka said and Warren deeply exhaled from the other side.“When you forgive someone, you are able to liberate yourself from the pain you hide in your heart. Remember the words you put in your first book? Where is that old Mishka?” He asked.“Somewhere died between all the scheming against her,” Mishka replied, smiling bitterly. “I am the most miserable character of my story.”“Anyway, you wanted to talk about something important? Speak up, I need to go back to Kiara.” Mishka said,

Jessica was in her bed looking at Rylie’s pictures on her phone, smiling when she heard a knock on her door. “Come in,” She said, turning off her phone and sitting on the bed brushing her messy hair and looking at the door.“Mr Curtis is waiting for you,” The house help said.“Tell him I am busy,” Jessica said in a sluggish voice, stretching her arms.“But Sir Patrick is also present and they are waiting for you at the breakfast table.” The house help said, and Jessica yawned.“Fine, I’ll be there in ten minutes.” She said and the house help nodded, leaving her alone.“So now that Rylie is out of the picture. I think we should speed up the wedding preparations. Just last night, my grandfather was pestering me. He really likes Jessica,” Patrick said and took a sip of his coffee.“I am glad she is getting along with your family.” Mr Curtis said and Patrick smiled.“I just hope Rylie doesn’t back in our life.” He expressed his views. “I and Jessica had a lot of fights in the last few day

Mishka tried calling Aryan several times while trying to stop a taxi, but the latter didn’t pick up her call. “Common, pick my call!” She groaned, calling him again, but no response. She was blindly running on the road while trying to book an Uber when a high-speeding car out of nowhere was about to hit her, but a hand clutched her wrist in time and yanked her back.The mobile phone slipped from Mishka’s hand and she looked at Christian, “They kidnapped Eric!! Again,” She freaked out, clutching his shirt while Christian tried to calm her down. But she jerked his hands away and picked up her phone, dialling Eric’s number, but it was turned off.“What I will do now? Where I will find him?” She ranted like a madwoman walking away from him when Christian clasped her hand and pulled her into a hug.He gently rubbed her back while she tried to get away from him. “Calm down! Calm down!” He said, his deep voice soothing her. Christian could literally feel her heartbeat against his chest, and
