David's POVThe car rolled through the tall iron gates of the Kastner estate. I stared out the window, watching the perfectly trimmed gardens and tall palm trees lining the tiled driveway while my jaw clenched tight.Adam was going to get everything. Because his fiancée was six months pregnant.The fact that I worked harder than anyone else in the family, built the Kastner empire bigger and stronger did not matter in comparison to getting married had me fueling with rage. Neither Adam nor my brother had it in them to grow the business. Instead, they’d end it. All my efforts would be in vain. Just because that idiot got his fiance pregnant. I thought about his fiance’s sister who I took to the hospital to give birth. I didn’t know her name but I wondered if she lied to me. She told me Lily wasn’t pregnant and they were planning to use her child as a substitute, yet the examination revealed she was pregnant. My eyes darkened as I saw my reflection on the tinted window. Was I stupid

Alice's POVDavid’s harsh words filled my eyes with bitter tears. My shoulders shook. I couldn't breathe properly.After everything that happened and the stress of sleeping with a man three times my age, I just couldn’t help myself and started crying. "Stop crying," David said sharply.But I couldn't stop. The sobs kept coming. I covered my face with my hands, trying to muffle the sounds, and was about to open the door to leave when I heard him. “Wait.” I stopped and footsteps came towards me. As I turned around, I saw him stand a little close to me. My heart skipped a beat as I found him towering over me. “Here,” he handed me his handkerchief and I hesitantly took it. He nodded his head at the couch. “Sit.” I didn’t understand why he changed his mind but I walked to the seating area and settled on the couch. I wiped my tears with his napkin. He handed me a glass of water and I was taken aback by his kindness. Maybe he wasn’t the cold man I thought he was. "Why are you here?"

Alice's POVWhen I walked through the front door of my house, I heard voices in the living room. I peeked around the corner and saw them on the sofa.Lily sat close to Adam, her hand resting on her round belly while Adam had his arm around her shoulders, whispering something in her ear that made her smile.They looked like a perfect couple. Like they were really in love.But then Adam's eyes found me standing in the doorway. His face lit up in a way that made my skin crawl. His gaze traveled slowly down my body, taking in my new white dress. I quickly looked away, my stomach turning."Well, well," Lily said, her voice sharp and mocking as she noticed me. "Look who finally came home. Out all night with men, I see."My face burned hot."And wearing new clothes too!" Lily stood up slowly, one hand on her belly like she was fragile. "That's the latest brand, isn't it? Those shoes must have cost at least a thousand dollars."She walked closer to me, circling me like a shark. "You must hav

Alice's POV"What's going on?" Lily asked again, her voice demanding. "Answer me! What are you two doing?"Adam immediately pushed away from me. He stepped back, his hands raised like he was innocent, his face the perfect picture of shock and hurt. "Lily, thank God you're here," he said, his voice shaking. "Your sister just threw herself at me.""That's a lie!" I shouted, my voice breaking. "He grabbed me! He attacked me!""She's lying," Adam said, turning to face Lily fully now. His hand went to the scratches on his arm, the ones I'd made trying to fight him off. "Look what she did to me when I tried to push her away. She's crazy, Lily. She tried to seduce me!""No!" I shook my head frantically. "Lily, please, you have to believe me. He cornered me. He tried to pull up my dress. I was fighting him off when you walked in."Lily's face twisted with rage.She rushed at me, her hand flying through the air and she slapped me. The hit was so hard my head snapped to the side. Pain exploded

 Alice’s POV"That's right," Adam replied proudly. "I'm marrying Lily next month."Mr. Chen's hands started trembling. He took a small step backward, away from Adam."I see," he said quietly. "I didn't realize..."He was terrified. Because Adam was related to David and David had clearly put the fear of God into him."I should be going," Mr. Chen said quickly, already moving toward the door. "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Fairborn. The contracts are all signed. I wish your family well."He practically ran out of the house."What was that about?" Françoise asked."The old fool got s
