Marina and Lina both stammered. Marina tried to speak, but her voice came out small. “David, I didn’t do anything. I just....I came because I heard she was hospitalized.”David’s face was hard now. He didn’t believe her for a second. He scooped Lily up in his arms as gently as he could and laid her on the bed. The room felt suddenly too small; it spun around him.He slammed the emergency button on the bedside panel.“Help!” he called out, voice tight. He cradled her face with shaking hands and leaned close. “Lily, can you hear me?”Lily’s eyes were crowded with tears. She grabbed at her stomach and cried out again. “If anything happens to my child.... I’ll destroy you, David,” she said through clenched teeth, her voice raw and furious though it trembled.Those words cut him to the bone. He felt the heat of shame and fear all at once. He didn’t answer with anger. Ins

"When she finished, she looked at David for the first time since she had woken up. “Sign this,” she said, her voice low but firm, “and let’s not see each other ever again.”David froze. His breath caught. “Lily… don’t play with me,” he said through clenched teeth.She let out a small scoff, bitter and broken. “Play with you? No, David. I’m ending this game. I can’t handle it anymore.” Her voice cracked slightly, but her eyes stayed steady. “Because of your lover, I lost my child. Don’t you dare forget that.”Her words hit him like a knife to the chest. David stiffened. His throat felt dry; he wanted to say something, to defend himself, to say he was sorry but the look in her eyes stopped him.“Sign it,” Lily said again, pushing the papers toward him.Roy quickly reached over and took the papers, scanning them carefully. He frowned, then looked at David. “Boss…” he said quietly. “It’s… divorce papers. No conditions. No alimony. Nothing.”David’s jaw tightened. He turned his eyes to Lil

"David slammed his hand against the wall. “I know that! But she promised!”His eyes burned. He could feel tears gathering, but he refused to let them fall.“She said she wouldn’t run away,” he whispered to himself. “She said she needed one day. One day. Why would she lie? Why?” For the first time in his life. he understood real fear.The fear of losing her forever.Roy stepped closer but didn’t touch him. “Maybe something happened. Maybe she....”“No.” David turned sharply. “She left. She… she really left.”He felt like someone had kicked him in the chest. He rubbed his face roughly, trying to breathe but failing.His heart squeezed painfully.He’d lost their child yesterday.Now he had lost her too.“I should’ve stayed,” he whispered. “I shouldn’t have left her alone. I shouldn't have lis

"“Noah, where is Danish?”Lily asked once she finished packing the last of her jewelry samples.Noah was busy putting the jewelry back into their cases. She didn’t even lift her head.“He’s in the guest room.”“Already? Alright, I’ll go. Come after you finish,” she said while reaching for her handbag.“Ok,” Noah replied with a nod.Lily walked out of the workroom, her footsteps calm and steady, but her mind tired after the long event. She pushed open the guest room door expecting to see her son lying on the bed or sitting cross-legged on the floor playing a game on his phone.Instead, her whole body stopped.Danish wasn’t alone.A man was sitting on the sofa with one leg crossed over the other, looking strangely at ease in a space that didn’t belong to him. His right hand rested on his lap. His left arm was stretched across the sofa. His postur

"After they finished eating, they walked out of the restaurant. The night air felt cooler than she expected, or maybe it was just her nerves settling in her chest.“Mr. Hardison, thank you for dinner. My car is here,” Lily said as she spotted the black sedan pulling into the parking area. She tried to keep her tone light, polite, distant.David stepped forward and glanced at the car, then blocked her path as if the conversation was already over.“No. Get in my car. I’ll drive you.”His tone was calm, almost quiet, but Lily recognized the heaviness underneath. This wasn’t a suggestion. This was him drawing a line.Her first instinct was to refuse. She opened her mouth, ready to say she could manage, ready to tell him they didn’t need to travel together.But Danish was standing right beside her, holding her hand with his small fingers. She couldn’t start an argument here. Not in front of her son.
