‎Nathaniel's POV‎‎"Ava..." I whispered to myself alone in the office. The office was too quiet and too still. The kind of silence that pressed against your ribs until it hurt to breathe. I sat slouched in my chair, the city lights bleeding through the blinds and striping across my desk, right over the divorce papers. They stared back at me like open wounds, each line a fresh slice across my chest. ‎‎My tie was loose, my collar undone, my patience nonexistent.‎‎“She didn’t even try,” I muttered, my voice cracking the silence. “Not even once.”‎‎My fingers dug into the papers, crumpling the corner until it tore. I could feel the anger boiling again...raw, ugly, and choking. I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes, forcing air through my nose.‎‎But then I heard raised voices outside.‎I frowned, staring at the direction of the door. ‎‎“Excuse me, you can’t go in there!” my secretary protested.‎‎Then, a sharp, insistent female voice cut through the air. “I said...we nee

‎(Ava’s POV)‎‎"Ouch!" I screamed as i felt the hard slap cross my face. The sting from my father’s slap burned across my cheek, but the shock didn’t last long. The pain only sharpened the edges of everything I’d been holding back.‎‎For a second, the room was dead silent. Only the soft hum of my phone's notifications cut through the air. My mother’s gasp echoed, Priscilla’s trembling whisper followed, “Dad...what did you just...”‎‎My father’s chest rose and fell with fury. “Stupid girl! Do you have any idea what you’ve done, you are here trying to justify your actions?” His voice boomed, echoing through the house like thunder. “You’ve just destroyed us all! Do you think the Hargraves will stay quiet now? You think the media will let this go?”‎‎I slowly pushed myself up with the taste of blood on my tongue. My cheek throbbed, but I kept my eyes locked on him...unflinching.‎‎“Destroyed us?” I whispered, my voice trembling at first, then rising with every word. “You mean destroy

“Help! my mum suddenly fainted!”The words tore out of my throat as the automatic doors slid open, the hospital lights flooding my vision in a harsh, sterile glare. Everything spun. The ceiling seemed too bright, the floor too far away, like I was walking on something that might give out beneath my feet at any second.I felt my world roatate around me. This was all the backlash from getting married to Nathaniel...from joining the Hargrave family and Nathaniel didn't care about me even one bit. They rushed her past me on a stretcher, white sheets already pulled up to her chest. My mother’s face looked wrong like the color had been drained straight out of her. I reached for her hand, but someone gently pushed me aside, murmuring instructions I couldn’t quite catch.My father followed close behind, his steps uneven and his voice cracking as he called her name. Priscilla was crying openly now, one hand clamped over her mouth, the other clutching my sleeve as if I might disappear if she l

“She is doing fine. It’s normal pregnancy symptoms. She’s just been under too much stress. Her type of pregnancy is sensitive. She needs a stress-free environment.”The voice drifted through the fog in my head. It felt calm and familiar. Who was it?My eyelids felt heavy, like someone had placed weights on them. I forced them open slowly. The ceiling above me came into view first. My fingers moved slowly as I tried to get myself back together. I could recognize the ceiling staring back at me. I just knew I had been here before. The blur cleared inch by inch until I got a full and clear image of what I was trying to stare at. A blonde woman in her forties stood at the foot of the bed, with a clipboard in her hand. I recognized her before my mind fully caught up. She was the same doctor who had looked at me weeks ago and said, almost casually, "Congratulations. You’re pregnant." Right now, she was speaking to David. “Ava! You’re awake.” His voice cut in quickly.He was at my side in a

His eyes lifted and they found me immediately and we froze. Everything was slowing down like only two of us were around. But it didn't last long as reporters left us to rush to them.Angela stepped slightly in front of me as we walked inside. “If he stares too long at you, I’m poking him,” she muttered under her breath.The courtroom felt colder than outside. I took my seat. Jessica sat across from me with Nathaniel sat beside her. I could feel him. Not physically, but the awareness was there. Like standing too close to a fire and pretending you didn’t feel the heat.I kept my eyes forward, but I still felt his gaze.He kept stealing glances when he thought I wouldn’t notice. When I finally looked up, our eyes collided. His expression shifted instantly and softened. He smiled a little but then immediately his jaw clenched slightly, like he was holding something back.Angela saw it, her head turned toward him sharply. If looks could kill, he would’ve been buried right there in the cour
