Chapter 120 The Confrontation

He let out the breath he had been holding. His shoulders dropped. His hand squeezed hers back."Then stay."He reached for her. His hand found her waist. His other hand cupped the back of her head. He pulled her into his arms. Held her tight against his chest. She could feel his heart pounding. Could feel his breath warm against her hair."Let us stay in the present," he whispered. His voice was thick. "Do not be afraid of a future we cannot predict."He kissed her temple. His lips lingered there. She felt his breath, his warmth, the slight tremor in his hands."Stay with me. That is all I ask. Not forever. Just now."She did not say anything.But she did not pull away.Her hands came up. Her fingers pressed against his back. She pulled him closer. Tighter. Her face pressed into his chest. She could feel his heartbeat. Strong. Unsteady.She closed her eyes.The weekend ended. Monday morning coming cloudy and cold. The room was grey with early light.Nerissa opened her eyes. The ceilin

Chapter 121 William Blackwood

The Aerie was silent.William Blackwood walked slowly through the living room, his hands clasped behind his back. His shoes made no sound on the polished floor. He studied the space the way a surgeon studies a wound—cold, clinical, detached.The floor-to-ceiling windows. The bare walls. The single orchid on the sill.He stopped at the window. Looked out at the city. His back was to her.Nerissa stood rigidly near the couch. Her hands were pressed against her sides. The dizziness had not left her. Her stomach churned. She swallowed hard and kept her face still."Please sit down, Mr. Blackwood," she said.He did not move. He did not acknowledge her voice."How long?" he asked.She said nothing.He turned. His eyes were sharp. Cold. They looked like Vance's eyes, but where Vance's held warmth, his held only judgment."How long have you been staying here? In my son's private apartment?"She held his gaze. "A few months."His lip curled. "A few months. And you did not think about the risk?

Chapter 122 The Price

She said nothing. Her hands were cold. Her stomach turned."I built this company from ashes," he continued. "I made Vance the perfect heir. And you—you are a liability. A scandal. A distraction. You offer nothing but risk."He stepped back."You are the bad influence in his life, Ms. Whitmore. Retreat. Leave him alone."He turned. Walked toward the elevator."No."Her voice was quiet. But it stopped him.He looked back. His eyes narrowed."How dare you," he said. "Do you know what you are doing to him? To his reputation? To the company? Do you know how much our stock dropped after the video?"She knew. She had been transferred because of it."Vance's position is fragile," he continued. "The board is watching. The investors are nervous. And you—you are a liability he cannot afford."She lifted her chin."I will not be his liability, Mr. Blackwood. I will be his supporter. His partner. I will help him build everything from the ground up."His laugh was sharp. Deadly."So this is your ga

Chapter 123 The Test

The room was grey with morning light.Nerissa opened her eyes. The ceiling was familiar. The sheets were cool. The space beside her was empty. Cold.She sat up.The room spun.She pressed her hand against the mattress, waiting for the dizziness to pass. It did not pass quickly. Her stomach churned. A wave of nausea rose in her throat. She swallowed hard, breathed through it.You took medicine last night. You should be better.She was not better.She reached for the thermometer on her nightstand. Pressed it under her tongue. Waited. The beep came. She pulled it out.Normal. No fever.She stared at the numbers. Then set the thermometer down.Her phone was beside it. The screen glowed. A notification. A message from Vance. Sent late last night. She had not seen it. She had been on the floor, trembling, ignoring his call.She opened it."Hey, I have to go for a sudden business trip, three days overseas. Do not force yourself to work on the Horizon project alone without me. Just take these

Chapter 124 The Liability

Across the ocean, in a different country, Vance sat in a hotel restaurant.The room was elegant. White tablecloths. Crystal glasses. Sunlight streamed through tall windows. His business partner, a man named Aaron, sat across from him, reviewing documents.Vance's phone was on the table. The screen was dark.He picked it up. Checked for messages. None.He set it down.Aaron looked up. "You have been checking that phone since we landed this morning. Are you waiting for something?"Vance said nothing."Your wife?" Aaron smiled. "Are you worried about leaving her alone? The pregnancy must be difficult."Vance's jaw tightened.Wife. Pregnant.He did not correct him. He could not. The lie was too complicated. The truth was impossible.He put the phone in his pocket. "Let us focus on the presentation."Aaron nodded. They returned to the documents.Vance's mind was elsewhere.In the Aerie, Nerissa sat on the bathroom floor.Her back was pressed against the cold tile. Her knees were pulled to

Chapter 125 Why??

The Blackwood mansion was cold, even with the fire burning. William sat behind his desk, his fingers steepled, his face hard. The morning sun streamed through the tall windows, but it did not warm the room. He had not slept. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw the envelope striking his chest. The money scattering at his feet. Her face—pale, defiant, unmoved. No one refused him. No one. He opened his laptop. Logged into his bank. His fingers moved swiftly across the keyboard. He transferred the amount he had promised in the envelope—three times the cash she had thrown back at him. Then he added the original sum again. And again. Until the number on the screen was obscene. Let her explain that. He pressed send. The transaction was complete. He leaned back. Smiled. Cold. An hour later, his phone buzzed. A message from his contact in Human Resources. Ms. Whitmore submitted her resignation this morning. Effective immediately. William read the message twice. Then a third time.

Chapter 126 Say My Last Goodbye

He stepped closer. His hands were shaking. "Was it because of my father? Did he threaten you? I can protect you. I promise. You can resign but please don't leave this place too" "No." Her voice was quiet but firm. "The decision is mine. It has nothing to do with him. And it is impossible to stay now. I have to leave." He stopped. His chest tightened. "He said he transferred money to you. A large amount." His voice cracked. "Please tell me it was not because of that. Tell me you did not take it. You are not a kind of person who lets go of someone just because of money. I trust you. Please tell me no." There is a desperation in his voice, his gaze seem like a broken man. She was silent. She had not checked her phone. She did not know about the transfer. Her hand tightened on the strap of her bag. She hate the fact that William insisted on transfering the money even though she had threw it directly on his face. She wanted to deny. She wanted to check her phone and returned the mone

Chapter 127 The New Heartbeat

The apartment was small. One bedroom. A narrow kitchen. A window that faced a brick wall. It was not the Aerie. It was not home. But it was hers. Nerissa had been here for six weeks. She had moved in the week after she left the city. She had told no one where she was going. The nausea had not stopped. The dizziness had not left. She had been ignoring it. Telling herself it was stress. Telling herself it would pass. It did not pass. She pressed her hand against her stomach. Seven weeks. She had counted. She could not deny it anymore. She picked up her phone. Found a clinic. Wrote down the address. The waiting room was beige and quiet. Nerissa sat in a plastic chair, her hands folded on her lap. Her bag was pressed against her feet. She had not looked up since she walked in. The woman next to her was young, maybe twenty, with a man holding her hand. Across the room, an older woman sat alone, staring at the wall. A couple near the window whispered to each other. The man stroked

Chapter 128 Shattered Into Fragments

He started the engine. They drove to her mother's house. Miles away. A hometown near a sea. The house where she grew up. The house she had left years ago after her last marriage, before the affair, before everything. Leo was already there. Samuel had called him. He stood on the porch, his arms crossed, his face tired. She got out of the car. She walked toward him. She stopped a few feet away. "I am pregnant," she said. He did not ask who the father was. He just opened his arms. She stepped into them. He held her. "Let's go inside," he said. "Mother is waiting." That night, she lay in her childhood bed. The ceiling was familiar. The sheets smelled like home. Samuel had left. He had hugged her goodbye and said, "Call me if you need anything." The room was dark. The window faced the garden. The stars were bright. She pressed her hand against her stomach. The baby was there. The heartbeat was strong. On the other side of a far end region. Vance was walking further into a vil

Chapter 129 The Heirs

The hospital room was bright. White walls. Sunlight through the blinds. Machines beeping softly.Jovi lay on the bed, her face pale, her hair damp with sweat. She had been in labor for hours. Her mother stood beside her, holding her hand. Her father paced near the door.Another contraction came. Jovi screamed."Zane! Please, call Zane—"Her mother's grip tightened. "Your husband will be here soon. Do not make this complicated by calling his name."Jovi's eyes filled with tears. "I need him—""You need to push."The delivery took another hour. The cries came together—two sharp, insistent wails."A boy," the nurse said. "And a girl. Both healthy."Jovi collapsed against the pillows. She looked at the ceiling. Sweat dripped from her temples. She breathed heavily. Then she took a glance at her babies. Zane's children. A small, weak smile escaped her."Hey, it's mama," she said weakly.The Blackwood families arrived within minutes. William and Lily, Vance's parents, came first. But Vance d
