"What's going on, Shawn? What's with all these disasters?”The words cut through the heavy tension in Henry Darlington's office. Barely inside, Shawn Darlington was paralyzed on a spot by his father's frigid voice. Henry's gaze was a mask of patient rage behind his great mahogany desk. The evidence of a disaster developing under Shawn's oversight, along with financial statements and customer agreements, was strewn across the desk. Though Shawn knew this discussion had to happen, it still does not help. His pulse throbbed in his ears, and his stomach was tight in coils. He'd been scrambling for answers the last few days, but every road led to a dead end. He took a deep breath and walked further into the office. “Sit.” Henry's voice was without warmth. Henry had been running Darlington Enterprises with firm leadership since his father handed over to him, and now he was gazing at his only son as though he were a major letdown. With slightly mildew, Shawn swallowed and slumped into th

Sitting in his office, Henry Darlington's voice was cool and clipped, “We found the goods.” His fingers rapidly drummed against his desk. As he delivered the information to his son. The atmosphere around him was heavy with anxiety. His hands balled into fists, and Shawn Darlington stood across him. He had hardly slept in the aftermath of the Darlington Enterprises incident. The lost delivery, the disappeared cash, the client who cancelled, it was a never-ending nightmare. Shawn swallowed. "Really? Where?”Henry made eye contact, his piercing hazel eyes aflame with relief mixed with rage. "An empty warehouse located near downtown. An hour ago, we received a heads-up.”Shawn breathed out. Inside him battled respite, fury, and suspicion. Someone had taken their delivery and thrown it in a disused warehouse; it made no sense. Apart from a blunder, there was little more to this. “Should I inform the authorities?” Shawn asked. Henry waved his hand, “No, I already have. They will be the

“Pick up the damn phone, Shawn.”Ryan swore, pacing beside his car as he dialed Shawn contact perhaps the tenth time that day.But it keeps ringing without an answer. He got back into his car and glared at the screen before he sent him a text.Ryan: Call me. It's an emergency.Several minutes went by and he was still not calling him back.Ryan clenched his teeth. He'd known Shawn wouldn't be some laid-back type of individual, but this was more important than whatever he was busy with. His thumbs hovered above the phone screen as a plan formed in his head. It was insane, manipulative to say the least, but desperate men do desperate things and this was a desperate moment for him.He smiled when he sent another text message.Ryan: Eva tried to commit suicide. She's in the ER at the state hospital.He knew Shawn wouldn't be able to ignore that message. **********Ryan was crouched over his car in the hospital car park, arms crossed frowning at the door like a hawk. He did not have to

Chapter 147"Ryan? You knew Eva was pregnant? How long have you known and hid it from us?”Eleanor Wadsley's trembling voice sliced through the strained silence of the waiting room Her usually gentle eyes now blazed with outrage, her fists clenched by her side as she moved a few steps closer to Ryan, who was standing beside shawn.Richard Wadsley beat his wife to it as he already towered over Ryan with his intimidating frame and controlled anger. “How long have you been hiding this from us?” Ryan swallowed, his legs trembling in his pants. “Uncle Richard I…I didnt mean to.” Ryan knew this day was coming but he handnt expected it to come so soon, yet he knew in the depths of his gut that there was no escape from this, he had to face it. Eva had made him promise to keep this secret and now he was facing the wrath of her parents alone."Ryan, I asked you a question," Richard snarled, pursed-tip voice full of contained fury.Ryan exhaled slowly. There was no escaping this. He met his un

Shawn drove behind his parent's car as they drove into the parking space of their mansion. He knew his father was trying to keep his cool and not cause a scene in front of the Wadsleys when they almost lost their daughter. His father went in without waiting for him. Shawn took a deep breath before walking in to face his father. “Shawn, what in the world is happening? What was all that?” Henry Darlington asked with barely contained anger. Shawn tried to speak and calm his father down, but unfortunately, he had no words. He understood what his father felt, but he also felt the same way and didn't understand the mess he just got into. His thoughts replayed the doctor's words and Ryan's words. ‘Eva was truly pregnant, and it was his.And now his father is paranoid and angry about the fact that both twins are pregnant with his child. Shawn shrugged wearily. How exactly was he supposed to deal with this? He thought finding Eva unconscious in her office was worse until the doctor co
