Chapter 141

Drake’s POV Everything felt slightly off.Not wrong.Just… incomplete.Since waking up, the doctors had been asking me simple questions. My name. My age. My position. My wife’s name. My son’s name. Dates. Locations. Events from years ago.I answered them all.I remembered building the company from the ground up. I remembered my early struggles. I remembered Margaret standing beside me in public, polished and composed. I remembered Jack as a boy, stubborn and intense.But there were gaps.Recent months felt foggy. Like flipping through a book where entire chapters had been torn out.They told me there had been a scandal.They told me I had been in a severe accident.They told me the company had nearly collapsed.Yet when I asked for details, Margaret filled them in carefully.“There was instability,” she said. “But we handled it.”Handled it.That word bothered me.Because I had always been the one who handled things.When that woman walked into my room yesterday, something shifted.C

Chapter 142

Drake’s POV “Yes,” she said quietly. “The company was losing clients. We needed immediate action.”“You had no authority to make strategic decisions at this level,” I said harshly.Her eyes hardened slightly.“The board gave me authority.”That stung.I looked around the office again.My office.My space.It felt invaded.“Get out,” I said.She blinked.“What?”“You heard me,” I said, my tone sharpening. “You’ve done enough.”She stared at me as if I had just struck her.“I kept this company from collapsing,” she said, her voice trembling now. “While you were fighting for your life.”“And now I’m back,” I replied coldly. “So step aside.”The silence between us was thick.She swallowed, her hand instinctively resting over her stomach.“You don’t remember anything,” she whispered.“I remember enough,” I said flatly.Her eyes filled slightly, but she blinked it away.“I was never trying to take anything from you,” she said.“It looks like you were sitting very comfortably in my position

Chapter 143

Chloe’s POV The applause had barely settled when the host smiled toward my table.“And now,” he announced warmly, “we recognize the woman who held the empire together during its most unstable period.”My name echoed through the hall.For a second, everything slowed.I stood carefully, smoothing the fabric of my gown as I made my way toward the stage. My heels felt heavier than before, not from exhaustion, but from the weight of the moment.The lights were brighter up there.Warmer.Almost blinding.The award was placed in my hands, sleek and polished, engraved with my name beneath the title: Best Interim Acting CEO.The applause was genuine.Loud. Respectful. I felt it in my chest.I turned toward the microphone and steadied my breathing.“Thank you,” I began, my voice clear despite the emotions rising inside me. “This wasn’t a position I asked for. It was a responsibility I accepted.”The hall quieted.“The company was facing uncertainty. Investors were withdrawing. Employees were s

Chapter 144

Chloe’s POV “I know,” she said before I could speak. “I’m already looking into it.”“They used my credentials again,” I whispered.“They mirrored your authentication,” she replied. “This wasn’t amateur. It’s internal.”Internal.Of course it was.Margaret.Jack.Or someone loyal to them.“They timed it for tonight,” I said.“Yes,” Mia answered. “Public arrest maximizes damage.”I closed my eyes.“Can they hold me?”“They can detain you while investigating,” she said carefully. “But I’ll work to get you released on bail.”“I didn’t do it,” I repeated.“I know.”Hours later, I was placed in a holding room temporarily.The fluorescent light overhead was harsh. The air was cold.I sat down slowly on the bench and leaned back against the wall.Six months pregnant.Award winner.Acting CEO.And now—Suspect.Again.My mind drifted back to the look on Margaret’s face.That slight smile.She had wanted this.To humiliate me publicly.To strip away everything I had rebuilt.And she had succee

Chapter 145

Chloe’s POV His fingers tightened slightly.There it was again—that flicker.The moment of impact before the accident.A message notification.My name.He exhaled sharply and stepped back.“I need to verify something,” he said abruptly.I let out a bitter laugh.“Of course you do,” I said. “Go verify it with Margaret. She’s good at telling stories.”He didn’t respond to that.He turned and signaled the officer.“I’m leaving,” he said.The barrier locked again.As he walked away, I watched him carefully.He wasn’t calm anymore.He wasn’t certain.Something had unsettled him.The word bastard had triggered something buried.He paused briefly at the door of the station, his shoulders tense, before stepping outside.And for the first time since waking up—He did not look completely sure. Two weeks.Fourteen days of metal bars, fluorescent lights, and stale air.Bail had been delayed. The investigation had been “complicated.” That was the word they kept using.Complicated.My lawyers wer

Chapter 146

Chloe’s POVMy sister was dead.“She died alone,” I whispered brokenly. “Because I wasn’t there.”“That’s not true,” Mia tried to say.“I promised her,” I cried. “I promised I would fix everything.”My knees buckled beneath me.Pain shot through my back as I fell forward, clutching my stomach instinctively.The scream that tore from my throat didn’t sound human.It was raw.Grief poured out of me uncontrollably.Two people in comas.One erased from memory.One now buried.And I was behind bars.I couldn’t breathe.I couldn’t think.My vision blurred completely as sobs wracked my body.“I killed her,” I whispered hoarsely. “If I hadn’t gotten involved with him… if I hadn’t fought… she wouldn’t—”“You did not kill her,” Mia said firmly through tears. “You are not responsible for this.”But the guilt swallowed me whole.My body trembled violently.A sharp pain gripped my abdomen.The world tilted sideways.Voices shouted in the background.Guards rushing.Mia calling my name.I tried to

Chapter 147

Drake’s POV The house felt unfamiliar.Not because I didn’t recognize the furniture or the layout. I did. Every room. Every hallway. Every painting mounted deliberately on the walls.But something beneath the surface felt disturbed.Since visiting Chloe in that holding room, my head had not been quiet.The word bastard had echoed more than it should have. It had struck something inside me like a crack in glass. I couldn’t see through it clearly, but I knew it was there.Margaret had been unusually attentive since my discharge. Too attentive. She hovered. She redirected conversations. She answered questions before I finished asking them.It irritated me.When she wasn’t home that afternoon, I moved.Not with panic.With calculation.I started in my office at home.The desk drawers were organized, almost aggressively so. Documents stacked neatly. Financial statements. Property records. Insurance files.Nothing unusual. I opened the cabinet beneath the bookshelf. Empty except for archiv

Chapter 148

Drake’s POV I felt something shift violently inside me.I hope she doesn’t survive.The cruelty of it hit harder than I expected.Margaret ended the call and looked up, startled to see me standing there.“You’re up early,” she said lightly.“Who was that?” I asked.“No one important,” she replied dismissively. “Just hospital gossip.”“Chloe is in labor,” I said flatly.Margaret’s smile faltered.“She’s eight months,” she said. “Premature. It happens.”“And you hope she dies?” I asked.Her expression hardened.“Don’t start,” she snapped. “That woman has destroyed our lives.”Something twisted painfully in my chest.Destroyed our lives.The phrase echoed against something fragile in my mind.A hospital corridor.Her tears.Her hand over her stomach.My name on her lips.The sensation passed too quickly to grasp.“I’m going out,” I said abruptly.Margaret frowned.“Where?”“For air.”She didn’t believe me.But she didn’t stop me either. That night, I drove alone to the hospital.I didn’

Chapter 149

Chloe’s POV The pain did not ease when he came back.It intensified.But this time, I was not alone in it.Drake did not let go of my hands. Not once. Even when the doctors told him to step aside, he refused to move far. His grip stayed firm around my fingers, grounding me each time another contraction ripped through my body.I screamed until my throat felt raw. The pain was unbearable, sharper than anything I had ever felt before. My body felt like it was tearing apart from the inside, and every wave of agony carried the weight of everything I had endured these past months.My sister’s face flashed in my mind again. Hilda. The thought of her being gone nearly broke my concentration, but Drake’s voice pulled me back.“Stay with me,” he kept saying. “Chloe, look at me. Breathe.”I hated him.I loved him.I needed him.Another contraction seized me so violently that I cried out his name without meaning to. His forehead pressed against mine, and I could feel him trembling too.“I’m here

Chapter 150

Chloe’s POV The day of Hilda’s burial was heavy with silence.The sky was gray, not raining, not sunny. Just suspended in stillness, like the world itself was unsure how to respond.I stood beside the casket in a simple black dress that fell loosely over my body. My stomach was still tender from childbirth. My steps were slower. My movements careful. Jessica remained in the hospital under observation, and leaving her even for a few hours felt like tearing something open inside me.But I had to be there.For Hilda.People gathered quietly. Neighbors from our old apartment. A few former colleagues. Some hospital staff who had grown fond of her. Even a few executives from the company stood at a respectful distance.The police were present too.They did not cuff me.They did not restrict me.They simply observed.My charges were still pending. My name was not fully cleared yet. But the public arrest and the recent revelations had shifted the narrative. There were investigations underway
