Prologue

"Where were you, Althea? Where have you been these past seven years?"Mikhael's angry whisper reached me, his voice laced with both frustration and a desire that had begun to surface. His tall frame leaned heavily against mine as I struggled to support his weight. We were almost at the door of his dark mansion. I helped him inside."You're drunk, Mikhael," I whispered. I could hear nothing but the loud thumping of my own heart. I inhaled sharply when I caught the mix of his familiar cologne and the expensive whiskey he had at the bar. That same scent he used to wear all those years ago...It made me tremble. I remembered our first meeting and that intoxicating perfume of his."Who's drunk?" he laughed bitterly, though his voice was broken. "I still recognize you, baby. Seven years. Seven fucking years and you—" His words were cut off when he stumbled and nearly fell to the floor. Thankfully, I caught him just in time. I wrapped my arm around his waist."Let me take you to your room,"

Chapter 1

ALTHEA~“Are you pregnant, Althea?” my mom yelled worriedly after she saw me vomiting in the bathroom.Ever since what happened between Mikhael and me—my current boyfriend whom I only met on a blind date—I’d been experiencing morning sickness. I’d feel dizzy, nauseous, exhausted, and sometimes even faint.Did that passionate night lead to this? It’s good news for me, but I’m not sure how Mikhael would feel. That night was just a beautiful memory and a moment of madness for us. I never expected it to lead to this. I can still clearly remember every scene and every whispered "I love you" in my ear. That night is just a beautiful mistake, and I’ll never regret it.“Answer me! You're in big trouble if you don’t!” my mom repeated in a high-pitched voice. Her nostrils were flaring with anger.My mother is a single parent. My father left us when I was just five years old. Rumor has it he’s a rich CEO, but he never fought for us. So here we are—my mom working alone, sacrificing everything, sw

Chapter 2

Mikhael~ My head hurts. After all the years of hard work, I’m finally about to achieve my dream: becoming the Chief Executive Officer of Henderson Enterprise. Our business revolves around luxury real estate and property development. We're among the richest and most successful in the world. And now that I’m stepping into the role, I already have a project lined up—the Henderson Tower. It will be the city’s new landmark and a symbol of the Henderson legacy. Add to that my father’s expectations, which I always seem to fail. I leaned against the tinted window of our luxurious car, trying to control the tension as I thought about the new challenges ahead. It’s not easy being a CEO, especially with a father who doesn’t trust you watching your every move. I endured and completed dual degrees in financial management and architecture. I did nothing but bury myself in studies and work. My attention was caught by the gleaming, towering glass windows of the Henderson Company building—our famil

Althea~“Thank you for the cupcakes! I’m sure Raven will love them,” I said with a wide smile, grateful to Xyra for the chocolate cupcake gift.I was in her pastry shop. I dropped by before lunch from the company where I worked.Xyra—my Belgian friend—smiled sweetly. I waved one hand before stepping out of the shop.I inhaled deeply, taking in the sweet scent of freshly baked croissants and pastries wafting through the air as I stepped onto the brick pavement. I looked at the small box in my hand, wrapped with a blue ribbon. I didn’t expect her to give a gift for my son’s birthday.I took a deep breath as I looked around. I’m savoring the tranquil atmosphere of the city that I had come to love. Brussels, with its cobbled streets and picturesque squares, had been my home for seven years. It’s where I raised Raven—a peaceful place far from my chaotic past. But despite the comfort and serenity, sometimes I still feel trapped in that nightmare.My brows furrowed when my phone rang. I shif
