Judy’s POV The morning sun streamed softly through the hospital windows. My mother was still resting, her chest rising slowly with each breath. I had stayed by her side all night, afraid to leave even for a minute. Sophia sat beside me, scrolling quietly on her phone, her legs crossed, looking exhausted but alert. I tried to sleep, but my mind was racing. Thoughts about David, the contract, my mother’s surgery, and my broken heart swirled like a storm inside me. Everything was moving so fast—marriage, hospital bills, strangers who felt closer to me than old friends. Sophia leaned back and stretched. “Girl… you look like a zombie,” she said softly, glancing at me. “You even forgot to eat anything last night.” “I couldn’t,” I whispered. “Mum… she’s my mother. I can’t just leave her alone. And everything else… it’s too much.” Sophia nodded quietly, understanding. She didn’t ask questions. She never did. She just sat there, holding my hand when my fingers twitched with worry.

Judy’s POV I went back to the hospital quietly.My steps felt heavy, like my body was moving but my heart was still stuck at the café where I left Clark. My cheek still burned, not from the slap I gave him, but from the pain he stirred inside me.I kept telling myself I was strong.But strength doesn’t mean you don’t feel pain.The hospital corridor smelled of medicine and cleaning liquid. Nurses walked past, pushing trolleys. Some people were laughing softly, others crying as a result someone died at the hospital that day. Life was moving on around me, but my chest felt tight.When I entered my mother’s ward, Sophia was there already.She was sitting beside my mother, peeling an orange and telling her a funny story. My mother was smiling, though she still looked weak.The moment Sophia saw me, her smile faded.She stood up immediately.“Judy?” she called softly.I tried to smile. I really tried.But my eyes betrayed me.She rushed closer and held my arm. “Why are your eyes red?”“I

Clark & Isabella’s POVThe house was unusually quiet that morning.Too quiet.Isabella was coming down the stairs slowly, one hand holding the railing, the other resting on her stomach. She was wearing a light silk gown, her face pale but still beautiful. Since the pregnancy, she had been more careful, more sensitive, more demanding.“Amirah!” she called out sharply. “Where are you?”No answer.She frowned.“Useless people,” she muttered under her breath.Clark had already left for work early that morning. He kissed her forehead and reminded her to rest,Clark was also worried that Judy refused to call off the contract she signed with Mr David Jones ,his mind went back to old days when he was still friends with David .. because of what he wanted to gain from him.Years ago he found out that David company is doing much better than his father's company,his father was sad and planned with his son to bring David down by framing him,he was arrested for a crime he knew nothing about and after

Judy’s POVThe car stopped in front of the house, and for a moment, everything felt like it was frozen in time. My heart pounded loudly in my chest. I stared at the house, but everything inside me wanted to run.Sophia stood by my side, and I could tell from the way she was fidgeting that she was just as nervous as I was.I had no idea how I was going to explain this to my mother.A man like David—powerful, rich, and cold—was standing behind me, and here I was, standing in front of my mother, pretending that everything was okay when I knew the truth.The truth that I was married to a man I barely knew.The truth that I had no idea how to face my own mother after all that had happened.Sophia nudged me. “Are you okay?” she whispered.I nodded, though I wasn’t sure. “I have to do this,” I said quietly, trying to convince myself more than her. “I have to explain everything.”We walked into the house, and I immediately saw my mother sitting on the couch, looking a little more tired than u

Judy’s POVI was still standing in the middle of the room, staring at the huge curtains and the soft carpet under my feet, when my phone rang.Sophia.I picked up immediately.“Hello?” I said.“Hey girl!” Sophia’s excited voice filled my ears. “So tell me, Mrs Billionaire, any gist for me?”I smiled weakly and sat on the edge of the bed. My heart was still beating fast from everything that had happened since morning.“You won’t believe this place,” I said slowly. “Sophia, the moment I entered this house, servants rushed to me. They bowed. They kept calling me madam, Mrs Judy, boss’s wife.”She screamed on the phone. “Waw! Rich man’s wife for real! See my best friend living soft life,oh my gosh I wish I am in your shoes.”Sophia said teasing me .I chuckled a little, but honestly, I wasn’t really listening to her excitement. All I could hear was my own heartbeat. Loud. Fast. Confused and frustrated.“This house is too big,” I continued. “Sophia, I feel like I will get lost inside my own
