Nathan hadn’t wanted to tell her. He’d delayed it, turned it over in his mind, hoping there might be another explanation, something less messy, less damaging. But the truth had a way of clawing its way to the surface no matter how carefully it was buried.“Can you give me her name?” he finally asked, Cassie didn’t hesitate. “Debbie Wales.”The moment the name left her mouth, something in Nathan’s chest tightened. The pieces slid into place with uncomfortable clarity. He had never introduced Debbie to Cassie. Not formally, not even casually. She was supposed to be invisible to Cassie’s world, an assistant, nothing more.“Cass,” he said quietly, guilt threading through his voice, “I’m sorry. I had a surgery scheduled later that day, after our date. I brought her along because of that. She stayed back in the car, and I honestly had no idea what she’d done.”Cassie closed her eyes and drew in a slow breath, grounding herself before the frustration could spill over. Before she could respon

Thelma went pale the instant she saw Franklin.She had been moving between Cassie’s office and Evans’, collecting a document from Evan’s secretary, when a tall, striking figure appeared at the far end of the corridor.Heads turned almost instinctively. It wasn’t just his looks, though those alone were enough to draw attention, but something else lingered in the air. His scent.“Is that Mr. Roth?” Kayla whispered, her voice dropping to an excited undertone as her eyes followed him openly. “Oh my God… he looks even better than his pictures on social media,” she said shyly. She was a secretary to one of the youngest and most handsome CEOs in the world, but Franklin Roth was on a whole different level. “And…wow…he smells so good.”Thelma pressed her lips together, unease tightening in her chest. She couldn’t tell whether Franklin’s presence spelled trouble or something else entirely. She remembered how warm and unexpectedly gentle he had been with Cassie that night at the club, how protec

Before Cassie could even form a response, Franklin stepped in smoothly, his voice calm but firm. “Trust me, that would never happen.”Then he remembered a few things Jonathan had told him about the night he picked up Cassie’s friends at the club.Franklin tilted his head slightly, studying Evan with an amused glint in his eyes. “I think there are women very close to you who are madly in love with you,” he added lightly. “You should consider giving them a chance.”Evan’s expression barely shifted, but the corner of his mouth tightened.“Coming from you?” he replied coolly. “As if you ever gave any of the women obsessed with you a chance.”For once, Franklin had no immediate comeback. The silence lingered just long enough to be noticeable. Cassie let out a quiet breath of relief, grateful for the pause before things turned sharp. “I’m glad you two are getting along,” she said, forcing a lightness into her tone. “I should probably get going.”“Wait,” Evan said, stopping her. “Please answ

Cassie smiled, but she didn’t answer him right away.Instead, she turned and disappeared briefly into the bedroom. When she returned, she was holding a neatly wrapped gift box tied with a simple ribbon.She placed it in Franklin’s hands with deliberate care, as if the weight of it carried more than just what was inside.“Give this to Mom,” she said softly. “Let her give it to Julius if Frederick is around. Otherwise, you can give it to him yourself.” She paused, then added with a faint smile, “I’ve already told him a few things about you.”Franklin’s mind drifted back instantly. He remembered the phone call, clear as day, when Cassie had casually mentioned that she had someone. At the time, his chest had tightened with an emotion he hadn’t wanted to name. He had been afraid it was Nathan.But now, standing there with the gift box in his hands, reality settled in fully. It had been him all along.A wave of remorse washed over him, sharp and humbling. He had allowed guilt to bloom in hi

Corrine and Adrian exchanged a look heavy with years of unspoken understanding. In the end, both of them smiled, strained nervous smiles that didn’t quite reach their eyes.“Cassie’s parentage has to remain a secret,” Corrine said carefully, her voice calm but firm. “At least until the right time. She’s been gone for almost six months already, so… give it another year and a half. When the time is right, everything will unravel on its own.”Franklin was no fool. He caught the hesitation, the deliberate phrasing, the way they avoided saying too much. His brows drew together slightly.“So,” he said evenly, “were her parents some kind of big shots?”Adrian let out a quiet breath and forced a smile. “Frank, you really are sharp.” He inclined his head slightly, sincerity evident in his tone. “But please, just wait, and thank you truly for everything you’ve done for he
