Julian quickly grabbed his phone and called his driver. His voice was sharp with urgency. “Get the car ready now. We’re going to the hospital.”Then he turned to Sophia, who was holding her belly, breathing heavily. He placed a steady hand on her back. “Take it slow,” he said softly. “Breathe. Don’t rush.”Sophia winced as another wave of pain hit her. Her legs felt weak, and she reached for his arm, gripping it tightly. “Julian…” she whispered, her voice filled with pain and fear.“I got you,” he reassured her, wrapping an arm around her waist to steady her. His touch was firm but careful, as if he was afraid she would break.The sound of tires screeching outside made Julian glance up. The driver had arrived in record time. Without wasting a second, Julian guided her towards the door, making sure she didn’t fall.When they stepped outside, the cold air hit her, making her shiver. Julian quickly opened the car door and helped her inside. “Easy,” he murmured, making sure she was comfor

After a few days in the hospital, Sophia was finally discharged, and they headed home with their newborns. The morning air was cool, and the sky was clear as Julian carefully carried one of the babies in his arms while Sophia held the other, both wrapped snugly in soft, blue blankets.As they stepped out of the hospital, Sophia glanced at Julian. His usual composed expression was replaced with something softer—something filled with quiet happiness. He helped her into the car, making sure she was comfortable before sitting beside her. The ride home was peaceful. The only sound was the soft breathing of their babies, and Sophia found herself staring at their tiny faces in awe.When they arrived at the house, Sophia was surprised to see that the staff had decorated the living room. Gold and white balloons floated near the ceiling, and a "Welcome Home" banner hung on the wall. Emma, along with a few housekeepers, stood by the entrance with wide smiles."Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. St

Julian and Sophia were trying their best to move on from the conversation about the flash drive. It still lingered in both their minds, but neither wanted to bring it up again. They had something precious now—a home, their twins, and a chance at happiness. The past didn’t need to ruin that.The evening was peaceful. The dining room was warm with the soft glow of the chandelier, and the smell of delicious food filled the air. Sophia sat across from Julian, quietly eating her meal while sneaking glances at him. He had been more caring and attentive since the birth of their children, and she couldn’t ignore the change in their relationship.Julian, on the other hand, was watching her closely. He noticed the way her hair fell over her face as she focused on her food, the way she carefully cut her meat before eating. There was something so gentle about her, yet she had a strength that always amazed him.The silence between them wasn’t uncomfortable. It was peaceful, like two people who

Julian woke up before dawn, moving carefully so he wouldn’t wake Sophia. The room was quiet, with only the soft glow of the bedside lamp casting shadows on the walls. He sat up, ran a hand through his messy hair, and let out a quiet sigh. He checked his phone and saw the time. He had his bath, got dressed and set out to leave.He turned to Sophia, making sure she was still asleep. Her breathing was steady, her eyes closed. She looked peaceful, but what he didn’t know was that she was wide awake.Sophia had been lying there the whole time, listening. She heard the soft rustling of his clothes, the quiet footsteps as he moved around. Her heart felt heavy. She didn’t say anything—she just watched.Julian walked over to the crib where their twins were sleeping. A soft smile crossed his face as he looked at them. He gently placed a kiss on each of their foreheads. “Be good for your mom,” he whispered.He turned toward the door, ready to leave when Sophia’s voice stopped him.“Are you g

Julian arrived at his office, stepping out of the elevator and adjusting his suit jacket. His mind was clouded with thoughts, but he pushed them aside as he made his way to his private floor. The moment he opened the door, he spotted Jason already waiting for him, leaning casually against the desk with his arms crossed.The room was filled with the familiar scent of coffee and polished wood, but there was a tension in the air. Jason looked up as Julian entered, his expression unreadable."Took you long enough," Jason said, raising an eyebrow.Julian let out a tired sigh and shut the door behind him. "Traffic," he muttered, though they both knew that wasn’t the real reason.Jason tilted his head, observing him closely. "You look like a man with a lot on his mind."Julian didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he walked over to his desk, loosening his tie slightly. His gaze flickered to the large glass window behind Jason, where the city skyline stretched endlessly.Jason straightened u
