Her dad’s, Matthew said, voice heavy with defeat as he gestured at the decaying room filled with jagged cracks raced up the walls, water-stained patches marred the ceiling."Our house is a breath away from collapsing! My company is gone. Your sister. Your little sister is lying in a hospital bed, fading away! And you? You have a boyfriend who flaunts his wealth, who’s got the means to save us!""So you want me to become a con artist?" She snapped. "You want me to cheat him?""Just once, Katherine!" Matthew’s voice was almost a plea now. "Just enough to save us. Do you not see our situation? Or are you so blinded by your pride?""Pride?" she laughed bitterly. "You think I haven’t noticed the hunger gnawing at us? You think I don’t hear my sister’s faint, pained breaths in that cold hospital room? And I've been trying all my best, you know it! But… this?

Chapter ThreeKatherine sat stiffly in the grand, opulent living room of the Hollingsworth estate, surrounded by a circle of piercing eyes. Uncle Daniel, Massimo’s uncle: his sister, Amy; Madam Elizabeth; Grandma Anastasia, Massimo’s Granny.Only James was noticeably absent.“So this’s the unfortunate girl whose family tried to destroy my nephew?” Uncle Daniel’s voice sliced through the thick silence.Katherine met his glare. His contempt was evident, practically burning into her since she'd entered. He hadn’t spoken until now, but his eyes had screamed accusations.“You’ll not speak ill of her at this table, Daniel.” Madam Elizabeth’s declared.Katherine’s fingers tightened against her dress, but she held her head high.“Well, Madam Elizabeth, you should never have let her marry my brother. He’ll die soon, and she’ll waltz off with most of his properties.” Amy said, venomously. A murmur of agreement swept around the table with whispered condemnations Katherine’s heart clenched on M

Chapter FiveKatherine's eyes fluttered open, greeted by a bright, sterile light overhead. Her gaze slowly focused, and she recognized the smiling face of Dr. Philly, one of the family doctors who had tended to Massimo during his coma."Ma'am Katherine, can you hear me?" His voice was gentle. "What... what happened?" She asked, trying to sit up."Easy now," Dr. Philly’s hand pressed lightly on her shoulder. "You fainted. But don’t worry. I’ve some news for you.""News?" A chill threaded through her veins. "What news?""Congratulations," he announced, his warm smile unwavering. "You’re two weeks pregnant."The words slammed into her. Pregnant?No. This couldn’t be happening.A child? Now?Her chest tightened as a whirlwind of thoughts crashed over her. How was she supposed to handle this? With how cold Massimo had been toward her since waking up, his hateful gaze, his cruel words... How was she supposed to bring a child into this chaos?Yes, she’d consented to this, she understood how

Chapter Seven Katherine tried to avoid Kassandra’s gaze, but witches had a way of finding you. Kassandra’s eyes flicked to Katherine, a slow, cruel smirk curling her lips as she sauntered past. “I see you’ve been chatting,” Kassandra sneered. “Is this what y'all do before my arrival into this household? Gossip and idle chatter? Is this what you’re paid for?” Her words slithered through the kitchen, silencing the room. “You peo–” Ma’am Rachel stepped forward, unintentionally cutting her off. “Ma’am Kassandra, is there something you need? I can send the maid to attend to—” Before she could finish, Kassandra’s fury exploded. With a sharp, blistering slap, she struck Ma’am Rachel across the face.

Ma’am Rachel pressed a shaking hand to her cheek, head bowed, eyes stinging. “You old hag!” Kassandra snarled. “Don’t cut me off when I’m speaking! Do yo

Chapter Nine Katherine blinked open her heavy eyes, her vision slowly adjusting to the sterile white ceiling above. The sharp scent of antiseptic stung her nose, and in that instant, she knew she was in a hospital. A groan escaped her lips as she tried to sit up, but pain shot through every fiber of her body, as if she'd been hit by a speeding train. Something wasn’t right. She felt… empty. Then it hit her. Her baby. Panic surged through her veins as she fumbled to rip the IV from her hand, her other arm flying to her abdomen. But before she could do anything else, a calm, familiar voice stopped her. "Relax, Kath. You need rest. Your baby is okay," Ma'am Racheal said gently, stepping into her line of vision with a warm smile. She’d been there all along. Katherine let out a shakily. “Water.” Without hesitation, Ma'am Racheal helped her sip from a cup, then carefully adjusted her pillows to support her upright. She sat beside her, watching silently as Katherine drank wi
