CHAPTER ELEVEN

“I will not let this slide!" Vanessa could only say before she turned on her heels. "And the next time you dare to barge into my office and raise your voice like a mannerless child, I will make sure you're banned from stepping foot into this hospital" Octavia's cold voice sent another chill down hee spine.Vanessa turned red in rage but she wouldn't dare to say anything. Octavia was in control here and that if she tries to do anything stupid, she might change her mind about treating Declan. Instead, she stormed out of the office without uttering a word.Octavia sat down for a moment, her eyes scanning Declan’s chart. She pushed back a memory that threatened to spill over and stood up. It was time to visit her patient. She’d barely pushed the door to Declan’s hospital room open when she heard him groan in pain. His voice was still the same as she remembered it but now, it lacked the ability to make her heat flutter like before. The door clicked close as she walked in. She wanted to b

CHAPTER TWELVE

"What happened to our child?" Octavia's shock quickly disappeared. Something dark, like barely controlled rage flashed across her face as she glared at Declan.“Don’t ask me that, ever again.” She pressed the call button near the bed.The door opened and a nurse walked in.“Watch his vitals, it keeps rising. Administer his medications and make sure no one else is allowed into his room.”The nurse nodded and left to get the injection.The moment the door clicked shut behind Octavia, the room felt suffocatingly empty.Declan stared at the space she had just occupied, his chest rising unevenly, as though the air itself had disappeared when she left. The steady beeping of the monitor beside him echoed too loudly, a reminder that he was still alive… when everything that had ever mattered to him had already slipped through his fingers.Octavia is real. She is alive. She was standing right before him, right within his grip. Yet, she had never been this distant from him because this time… she

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

The door swung open.Declan lay half on the floor, half against the bed, his face twisted in pain as he tried and failed to push himself up. The moment Octavia entered the room, their eyes met. Something tightened in her chest seeing the unfiltered pain in Declan's face but it disappeared just as quickly.“Careful,” she said sharply, already stepping forward. She threw Declan's arm around her shoulder and gradually helped him lay back on the bed. “I’m fine,” Declan muttered but Octavia ignored it. Instead, she stepped closer, already checking his vitals and adjusting the monitor“What happened?”Declan let out a quiet breath, staring up at the ceiling for a moment before answering. "I... tried to get up." he paused then continued, "it didn't go well."One of the nurses let out a small, nervous chuckle before quickly silencing herself under Octavia's sharp glance. Octavia didn't smile. What was even funny?“Are you feeling dizzy?”“A little.”“Pain level?”“Like I got hit by a truck.”

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

"Let go of me, Mr. Rothschild. Otherwise this will be the end of our doctor patient relationship" Octavia glared. Something painful lodge at Declan's heart. He could see the hatred she had for me so clearly in her eyes that it hurts. Letting out a sigh, he released his grip on her waist. Octavia quickly stood up, stepping back with a stern expression. Like nothing has just happened. "This session is over. We'll continue tomorrow." And just like that, she walked out, slamming the door shut.THE NEXT DAY By afternoon, the hospital has settled into a quiet place. Declan had refused to lie still this time. With effort he had managed to stand. A flicker of satisfaction crossed his face. Then the dizziness hit. He exhaled sharply, reaching for support before he lost balance again. The nurse stationed nearby stepped forward immediately.“Be careful, sir”“I’m fine,” he snapped.The nurse hesitated before speaking gently, “If you’re going to practice standing, at least use support properl

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

AT THE LANCASTER MANSON “Seraphina!”A small gasp followed then footsteps. “No, Kai, give it back!”Kai giggled as he ran down the stairway with ease, holding something in his hand. Seraphina chased after him."Give it back!" she snapped, chasing him round the grand living room..“I found it first!” Kai snapped back, laughing as he dodged around a chair.“That’s not yours!” Seraphina shot back “Grandma gave it to me!”“It was on the table!” Kai argued, already halfway across the living room.“That doesn’t mean it’s yours!”“It does if you weren’t holding it!”Seraphina huffed, clearly offended, and sped up, lunging forward just as the little boy tried to turn. And just like that, they both fell to the ground. They froze for a second then burst into laughter.“Caught you!” Seraphina declared triumphantly, grabbing onto his arm.“Not fair,” Kai pouted. “You cheated.”“I didn’t!”“You did!”“I didn’t!”“You did!”“I...”“Alright, alright.” A voice interrupted. Both children turned instan

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Sebastian looked at the two brats. Then at the ice cream. Then back at them.“…What are the two of you doing?”Kai blinked. Seraphina blinked.“…Licking ice cream?” she answered.Sebastian stared. “At this time of the night?”Kai shrugged. “It tastes better now, believe me Brother”There was silence. Then Seraphina held out the spoon slightly. “Come on, Sebastian. Join us.”“We’re not doing anything wrong,” Kai added quickly. “We’re just… eating.”“Unfortunately when everyone else is asleep.” Seraphina nodded.Sebastian eyed the two of them “You’re literally sneaking food in the middle of the night.”“No,” Kai said immediately.Seraphina shook her head. “Not sneaking.”“Just eating,” they both said at the same time.Sebastian folded his arms. “Go back to your rooms before Grandma catches you both.”"She's fast asleep. It takes Grandma approximately five minutes to sleep off the moment she enters her bed" Seraphina rolled her eyes. Sebastian wasn't convinced yet.Kai shrugged. “Fine.”S

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

A few days later, Declan was discharged.He stepped out slowly, his body still recovering, but it wasn't the physical pain that occupied his mind anymore.It was the past. Those seven years ago and that report. That lie. And... Octavia. A car pulled up in front of him and the driver stepped."Mr. Rothschild" he bowed. "I'm here to take you home"His jaw tightened as he adjusted his coat, ignoring the driver. "Not yet," he muttered."There is somewhere else I need to go" ...The clinic hasn't changed.Same dull exterior. Same sterile smell. Same suffocating silence that pressed against his chest the moment he walked in. Memories hit him like a punch. The day he received the report with the cold, detached voice of the doctor saying, "The pregnancy was terminated."Declan's fists clenched at his sides.He moved straight to the front desk. "I'm here to see Dr. Hale."The moment the receptionist saw him, she sprang up and bowed "Mr. Rothschild!" "Don't keep me waiting" Declan said. The

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Declan took a slow step forward.“Seven years ago, you went to Dr. Hale,” he began, his voice calm despite the anger burning inside him. “You threatened him. You forced him to falsify Octavia's termination.”Vanessa's face paled just for a second. Then she laughed softly, shaking her head. “Declan, I don’t know what...”“Don’t. Don't pretend you don't know what you did”“He confessed everything.”Vanessa didn’t move at first.Then slowly her eyes dropped to the paper Declan was holding. When she looked back up at him, the innocence in her expression was gone.“You don’t understand,” she began, stepping closer. “I did it for you.”A bitter smile touched Declan’s lips. “For me?”“Yes,” she insisted quickly, reaching for him. “You were young, Declan. You had everything ahead of you. Your empire, your future, everything would’ve been ruined by that… situation.”Declan glared at her and she swallowed.“…That child,” Declan’s eyes darkened. “You mean my child.”.“I was protecting you,” she

CHAPTER NINETEEN

Tailing Octavia right from her workplace, Declan made sure he kept his distance so he wouldn't be noticed.Octavia stepped out of the hospital just after her shift. Declan watched from across the street, his eyes locked onto her.Seven years and she looked so different. She looked nothing like the woman whom he didn't cherish years back. She looked more beautiful and stronger. She got into her car and Declan waited a few seconds before following in his.After a few minutes of driving, her car stopped in front of a school. Declan's grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly as he watched Octavia step out. Children's laughter filled the air. Parents waited by the gates. Teachers stood nearby, ushering students out. Octavia stood by the entrance, waiting.After some time, a little girl came running out."Mommy!"Everything around Declan stopped the moment he saw her. Suddenly, he couldn't breathe or even blink.She was small, bright, and alive. Her black curly hair tumbled down her bac

CHAPTER TWENTY

Declan waited outside Seraphina's school. But this time... Octavia wasn't there.His entire focus was at the entrance. Seraphina finally stepped out among the other children, her backpack bouncing lightly against her shoulders. She paused just outside the gate, scanning the area. She was sharp and careful.Declan watched carefully. The sight of Seraphina outside the gate without Octavia in sight, made him feel uneasy. Why was she alone? What if something happens...Before he could think further, Seraphina's gaze landed on him and her pupils dilated a bit. She recognizes him. But this time, she didn't hesitate. Instead, she narrowed her eyes slightly and started walking straight toward him, boldly.Declan felt something tighten in his chest as she got closer. Up close, it was even more undeniable. She looked like him. Not just in appearance, but in the way she held herself, the sharpness in her gaze. She was unmistakably his daughter. The thought of it hit harder this time.Seraphina sto
