“I have half a year to live?” Layla repeated, letting the words sink in as they echoed in her ears. Her eyes widened as she struggled to comprehend what the doctor had just told her.Layla refused to accept it. She shook her head slowly. There was no way she was the one with only six months to live. There had to be a mistake. Perhaps the doctor was wrong. Perhaps the results weren’t hers.Her breathing turned shaky as she crawled her hands toward the doctor, clutching his coat tightly. He reached for her hands, holding them as her body trembled, tears welling up in her eyes.She shook her head profusely, her grip tightening around his clothes.“Please, doctor… You need to check again. Those results aren’t mine. I can’t—”Her voice broke before she could finish, and the words dissolved into sobs as tears streamed down her cheeks.She had seen her name on the report, boldly written. She knew they were her test results, but she refused to believe that was her fate. “Mrs. Watson,” the do

Layla returned to the mansion after her husband informed her of the news. It took everything in her to come home, with the information stuck in her chest. Standing by the doorframe, her gaze darted from one corner to the other.The house seemed a bit quiet until she heard a car engine from behind her. Spinning around, she watched closely until the car pulled over, and her husband stepped out.He had this satisfied smile, one she had never seen on his face. He walked to the other side of the car. As he pulled it open, Ashley came into view, with a smirk on her face. She shook her head, her hair wiggling on her shoulders, making her look even more stunning.Layla's heart dropped; she stood there frozen, her legs trembling to give out, but she managed to keep her expression. Her daughter, Zara, stepped out of the car and soon wrapped her hands around Ashley's legs, giggling.They seemed so happy, and it made her wonder what could be making them this delightful. She had never been this cl

The next day, Kiara forced herself to make breakfast for everyone, including Ashley, who had spent the night at the mansion. She barely slept, yet she still woke up early to ensure everyone was fed. There were maids in the house, but whenever her mother-in-law came around, she scolded her for not helping them, rubbing it in her face how she used to be one before they married her into the family.It was tough at first, but eventually, it became a habit. She started waking up early whenever her mother-in-law was around or stayed over.Once the table was set, she instructed the maid to get everyone while she went to the fridge to get water. This was her chance to talk to Nolan about her illness.The previous night had been pure misery. She had never cried the way she did, unending sobs, but no one even came to check on her. Not that she was expecting anyone. No one cared about her.Footsteps on the stairs caught her attention. She glanced in their direction and saw Nolan come into view,

The room gradually emptied, everyone leaving her behind as she remained seated, engulfed in unending, devastating pain. She suddenly dropped to the ground, struggling to breathe, her body sprawled on the cold floor, her eyes rolling back until only the whites showed.Layla reached for a glass of water, but instead her hand struck the table, sending plates crashing to the floor.A maid came running in, shaking nervously as she dropped to her knees beside her.“Mrs. Watson, stay with me. Can you hear me?” she pleaded as she hurriedly grabbed a glass of water. She pressed it to Layla’s lips, carefully forcing the water into her mouth, gently closing her jaw so she could swallow.Layla’s breathing slowly returned, but her eyes remained shut. The maid helped her up from the floor and settled her back onto the chair, her heart pounding loudly in her chest.Layla had been through worse and survived. This episode was nothing compared to what she had endured before. Yet the maid couldn’t under

Nolan arrived home hoping to have a conversation with his wife, but he was met with silence. After much waiting, he decided to confront the maiden of her whereabout.“What do you mean she didn’t inform you?” he roared, the vein in his neck pumping in and out. “You’re the one who stays home with her; how did she leave your sight?”He looked ready to strangle the maid from earlier that morning, but his mother was quick to step in, grabbing his arm and stopping him from hitting her.The maid didn’t understand why he was so enraged. It wasn’t as if Layla mattered to them or as if they wanted anything to do with her. “I—I'm sorry,” she stammered. “I had to clear the dining room. She went to her room, so I didn’t think she would be inside.”“You didn’t think?” Nolan echoed.This time, he grabbed an object and hurled it in her direction. The maid barely managed to dodge it.Sophia stepped fully in front of him.“You need to calm down,” she said coldly. “I don't understand why you’re so worke
