Chapter 11

Sebastian’s POVI didn’t remember the drive to the hospital. All I knew was the anger sitting heavy in my heart. I walked straight through the lobby, and requested to see Dr. Rowan.I knocked once and pushed the door open.Dr. Rowan looked up from his computer, surprised.“Sebastian? Is everything alright?”“No,” I said, breathing hard. “I need you to check something for me. Right now.”“Tell me what’s going on.”“Seline confronted me this morning. She said she's aware of the sperm freezing.”The expression on his face changed.“She said she destroyed them,” I added,shaking with anger. “I need to know if she meant it.”The doctor didn’t argue. Didn’t make excuses. He stepped out from behind his desk.“Follow me.” He said.We walked together down the long hallway to the cryo-storage room. I clenched my hands the entire time.Dr. Rowan typed a code into the cryo-storage room. The door unlocked with a soft beep.We walked to the back wall where the tanks were lined up, silver and

Sebastian’s POV As Zara was being wheeled into OR 3, lines were being attached and oxygen cannula fixed.A couple burst through, eyes wide opened, breathless and confused, they almost collided with the stretcher.The woman gasped. “Oh my God, that’s her?”Dr. Lennox turned at the sound of her voice. “You are right in time Mrs. Garvin.”Lily looked at me confused. Mrs. Garvin moved closer, eyes fixed on Zara’s stomach, “Doctor, what’s happening? Are the babies OK?”“The surrogate is having seizures,” Dr. Lennox said quickly. “Her blood pressure is dangerously high. We need to move the babies now.”She grabbed the doctor's arms. “And the twins? Are they breathing? Are they okay?”“I won’t know until they’re out,” she answered. “We’re monitoring their heart beat. At the moment, they’re unstable.”“Dr. Lennox, don’t explain. Act quickly.” I said. “If the babies are unstable, call for neonatal ventilation support. Don’t stand here discussing the problem, fix it.”“Zara is unconscious

Sebastian’s POV The car drove into the long driveway with the headlights sweeping across the quiet mansion. I didn’t wait for the driver to fully stop before I pushed the door open.There was a restless burn inside of me. Something between anger and grief.“Sir?” Raymond called carefully. “Should I alert the staff? You… you don’t look well.”“I’m fine,” I said, “Go home”“Yes, sir.”I walked into the mansion. The sweet scent of lavender should have been calming to me. but it was unbearable to me tonight. All I could see was Zara’s unconscious body…Her trembling hands before she collapsed…I had never wanted children so badly.As I walked into the living room. I didn’t bother turning on the lights, I could navigate the house in total darkness. “You’re back early.” Seline spoke out from the darkness.She switched on the light.“What’s wrong?” she asked“I went to the hospital and there were no vials.”“What?”“The sperm vials,” I said, “The ones you claimed you knew about.” My

Chapter 14

Zara’s POVI woke up to the beeping of machines. My head was heavy and spinning.The ceiling lights blurry above me. My throat felt like sandpaper. I adjusted my eyes, trying to figure out where I was.A hospital room.I touched my stomach, it was flat.Bandaged and empty.My heart jerked and exploded.I tried to breathe.“My… my babies…”I pressed into the thin hospital gown. I looked around wildly, as much as my weak body could allowed.“Where are they?” my voice cracked. “Where are my babies?”The door swung open.“Zara! Oh my God, you’re awake.”Lily rushed to my bedside, her purse dropping to the visitor’s chair.I grabbed her arm with my trembling fingers demanding for my babies.“Where are they? Lily, please. Teĺl me they are okay? Are they…”Lily swallowed hard. “They’re in the NICU. The doctors are taking care of them.”Before I could respond, the door opened again.Dr. Lennox stepped in, wearing navy scrubs and a white coat, holding an iPad. She smiled gently. “Zara. Go

Chapter 15

Sebastian’s POV The NICU door opened, and the nurse rolled Zara out immediately.Lily walked beside her, whispering, “You will be fine, Zara… just take it easy,” but the words seemed to bounce back.She wouldn’t look up. Her hands were shaking and her face was wet.She looked like someone who had given everything and received nothing in return.I followed behind, pretending not to notice.Yet my eyes didn’t leave her.The Garvins remained inside the NICU behind the glass, clinging to their newborns. Zara never turned towards them. She just kept one arm across her abdomen.They wheeled her down to her ward. Tears kept sliding down and she kept wiping them in quick, embarrassed motions.She tried so hard to hold herself together.She finally sank onto the mattress, eyes closed. I stepped back before she opened her eyes and saw me.A part of me wanted to stay, to ensure she was okay, to make her feel safe after all she had endured.But I could still feel the tension between us. I

Chapter 16

Sebastian’s POVBy morning, the unease had sharpened into purpose. I needed answers. The CCTV footage from the hospital had been ready since the previous night.Raymond waited outside, engine humming softly, I barely acknowledged him, my focus was going to the hospital and the screen that would reveal the truth.Dr. Rowan met me at the entrance to his office.“Sir,” he said, “Thank you for coming on such short notice. We’ve secured the footage as requested. I believe you’ll want to see everything from start to finish.”I didn’t respond immediately. He gestured towards the screen in the corner of the office. “We have compiled the entire sequence from the cryopreservation room, time stamps, access logs, and movement sensors. Everything is documented.”Dr. Rowan nodded to the technician.“Play it from 02:17 a.m.”The footage rolled.The cryopreservation room appeared on the screen.Then the door opened.The nurse stepped inside.Her ID badge swung against her chest as she scanned the ro
