Olivia's POV Swallowing hard, I managed a faint smile. She stepped closer, her eyes narrowing as she tilted her head like a curious bird. “Are you feeling sick?” she asked, reaching for my forehead, but I dodged slightly. “I’m fine,” I whispered, about to step out, when her hand pulled me back. “You can’t deceive me, Liv. What’s wrong? Do you need to see a doctor? Maybe you're having food poisoning, wait let me get the doctor.” she pressed, about to reach the door, but I cleared my throat. Walking closer, “It’s not that. I promise I’m fine.” Damn, I should have told her I was pregnant, yet the words weighed heavily on my lips. She stared at me for a brief moment before she finally exhaled. “Alright, if you insist, but don’t think I’ll sit idle if you vomit again,” she said with a stern look. I forced a chuckle and nodded. “Come on, let’s go.” She clasped my hand and guided me out. Christian’s gaze locked on me. “Are you alright?” he asked, worry flickering in his eyes.

Sophie’s POV Tears streamed down my cheek as I clutched his leg. “You can’t do this to me, Ethan. That is not me, I swear...” The words barely escaped my lips when he kicked me hard. I collapsed onto the floor, holding my belly. “You liar! How dare you try to deceive me? Do you think I don’t have eyes?!” he barked. I swallowed. “I will give you one last chance. Who is the father of that child in your belly?” he demanded. My eyes widened as I edged closer. Oh, I could still twist this pregnancy into leverage. “I swear this child is yours. That video was fabricated to drift us apart, it’s not me. I would never do such a thing to you,” I said, breathing heavily. He arched one eyebrow as he bent to my height, his hand hovering under my chin. “So you’re saying you’re pregnant with my child and the person in this video is not you?” he pressed. I nodded, clutching his hand as tears poured like rivers from my eyes. “I don't have a reason to lie to you. That person is not

Olivia's POV“Don’t you think we are rushing things? You are still lying in that hospital bed,” I pointed out as I stared at him.His gaze didn’t waver as though he was studying my face. “Come on, Dad, we can take things slow, isn’t that right, Liv?” Jenna turned to me. She must have sensed my hesitation.I smiled and nodded quickly. “Yes, she is right. If you are that eager, you should focus on getting well quickly,” I whispered.He cleared his throat and remained silent.“Do you guys need anything? And Liv, what would you like to eat? It seems you can’t handle anything that might trigger you throwing up,” Jenna said with a serious expression.To be honest, it wasn’t as bad as she imagined. “I’m okay with anything,” I replied. The moment those words left my lips, her eyes widened as she shook her head.“No, you are not. Don’t worry, I will ask the doctor for recommendations. He will also run a check-up for you.” She didn’t even wait for me to respond. She turned and walked out of t

Olivia's POV “So Jenna, what brings you to New York?” I asked while devouring the wings. “Oh, about that... I wanted to see you,” she murmured, slipping into the restroom. I knew that wasn’t the truth, but I let the matter drop and returned my focus to my meal. By the time I finished, Christian’s IV drip had ended. He wasted no time peeling it from his wrist as he stood. My lips twitched. “Shall we head to the doctor now?” Jenna’s voice rang out, yet her weary expression told me she was exhausted. Truth be told, we all were. “Let’s come another time, please. I need some rest,” I said, stifling a yawn. “Oh well, I’m tired too, but don’t forget to show up at the hospital tomorrow,” Jenna replied in a firm tone. If one didn’t know better, they might think she was the child’s father. I nodded with a faint smile. “Okay then, I’ll handle the discharge paperwork. You two can go ahead.” I wasn’t given a room to reply, Christian’s hand landed on my shoulder, guiding me away. “Don’t w

Olivia's POV On reaching my apartment, the first place I walked to was the window, gazing down at the car that lingered across the street. I didn’t know how long I stood frozen until a notification beep snapped me back. “See you tomorrow morning. I love you,” Christian’s message read. My lashes fluttered innocently. “I love you too, and don’t forget to take good care of yourself,” I replied, just as the car finally pulled away. Before I could sit on the couch, another message chimed. “Oh well, it would have been better if you fed me the medicine yourself.” A laugh slipped out of my lips. I thought he would be upset I wasn’t staying with him, yet here he was softening my heart again. With a deep sigh, “I would, but for now goodnight,” I replied, dropping the phone as I stared ahead, finally absorbing the reality that I was back in my apartment. My gaze swept across the room. Nothing seemed unusual. It was as though I had never left. Everything was spotless, like

Olivia's POV “Dad, you’re here too?” Jenna’s voice rang out as she approached, a smile tugged at my lips. “Why are you here? I thought you said you had something important to do,” Christian asked. “Well, something urgent came up. Did Anthony call you?” Their exchange left me feeling like the only one left behind. Before I could ask anything, a call pulled Christian’s attention and he stepped away briefly. “What is going on?” I asked, turning to Jenna. She linked her arm with mine. “Nothing serious, just work stuff. You’re heading to the hospital, right? Let me drop you off,” she offered, yet my feet seemed rooted in place. “What about Christian? He said he would come with me.” I hesitated to leave him behind. Shortly, Christian returned. “I’m really sorry, but we may need to delay the hospital visit. I promise to join you tomorrow,” his tone carried sincere regret. My lips parted. “Why? Is there a problem?” I asked. He took my hand and brushed a soft kiss acr

Olivia's POVChristian stepped closer, taking my hand. “It’s nothing serious. Come on, how was your visit to the hospital?” I pulled my hand away.“Don’t lie to me. What happened? Why does he think I should lay low? And why are the investors still pulling out?” I asked, blinking at him.He pinched the bridge of his nose. “You can go, Anthony,” he said, dismissing him before guiding me to the couch.“I’m sorry you have to find out this way,” he added in a low voice as we sat down.I faced him, my expression firm. “What is all of this about? Is the company still facing a crisis?” I had thought that after I left, everything returned to normal.He sighed, dragging a hand through his hair while I edged closer. My hand settled on his, a silent nudge urging him to speak.“I tried to stabilize the internal flow, and it worked, but the external crisis is just too…” He trailed off.“It’s chaotic. They’re demanding investigations, which I don’t mind. But then someone suggested that the company c

Olivia's POV“Wait… Did you think I would sit back without searching for you?” he asked, making my teeth sink into my lower lip as I bit down hard.“I never expected you to know where I was. I’m quite surprised,” I murmured. To think I had believed he never tried to find me, only to discover he knew exactly where I was.“So why didn’t you show yourself?” I asked glaring at him playfully.He pressed his lips together as though searching for the right words. “Let’s say I wanted to respect your decision, but…” He paused and leaned closer.“Don’t think you can ever run away from me. I will always find you, even if you flee to the deepest corners of the earth,” he declared in a firm voice.I swallowed, staring at the dark glint in his eyes. I knew he was not bluffing.Then his expression shifted. Before I could react, he captured my lips in a gentle kiss. He slid his hand to my neck and gently drew me closer.My fingers clutched his shirt as I thrust my tongue into his mouth and devoured

Sophie's POV My gaze softened as I drew closer to her. “Hello cousin, it's been a while,” I murmured, but she gave me a wary look while stepping back. “What do you want?” she shot back instantly. Forcing out a short chuckle, I asked, “What do you mean? I don't want to quarrel with you anymore. Can't I simply greet my cousin?” I had seen her earlier in the hospital. Yes, I had gone there for a check-up. Shaking the thought away, I needed to concentrate on winning her back. “That is so sudden, Sophie. I know you. Nothing good comes from you being pleasant, so if you don't have anything else to say, I would like to leave.” She tried to walk away, but I blocked her path. Must she pierce through my mask every single time? “Why are you always guarded against me? If you could forgive your best friend, why can't you do the same with me?” I had seen both of them together, and even my source confirmed they were back. Why must I be cast out alone like a jester mocked by the crowd?

Olivia's POVAs soon as I got to my apartment, I flung my bag aside and collapsed onto the sofa.A message on my phone, accompanied by an image, halted me as a deep frown settled on my face. “I know you haven't moved on, but threatening someone to fake a video about Sophie... isn’t that pathetic?” the text read.My brow knitted in confusion at Ethan's words. “What is going on? What video? Are you even in your right mind?!” I replied.I could already feel anger burning within me already. Before I set my phone down, another notification pinged. “Did you see the picture evidence? Care to explain what that means?” Finally, I opened the screenshot.The message accused me of sending someone to sabotage his relationship with Sophie. Just going through it triggered a sharp migraine as I rubbed my temples.All I wanted was to wait for Christian patiently and enjoy the evening, yet these fools kept scraping against my nerves like stubborn stains.I knew Sophie had planned something when she c
