Chapter 92

Oran’s Point of View I’m going to be a mother again. I should be happy, but all I feel right now is sadness and fear that something might go wrong. Sienna said I should wait before talking to Vaughn, but I didn’t see him yesterday, and when I called him, his calls went unanswered. So, I thought I should see him in his office before our meetings started. I had four on my schedule today, so I got here earlier than planned after I checked at his condo and found that he wasn’t there. The receptionist avoided my eyes when I walked past her, which was strange because I could have sworn the lady always greeted me with a smile whenever I walked through those doors. “Going to see my brother,” Anthony asked me as he got into the elevator. “Good morning,” I smiled at him while nodding my head. “Ah, that’s good,” he said, looking up, then turning to me. “How was your date with Callahan?” He asked, catching me off guard. I froze, staring at him because I didn’t want to talk about it. “Judg

Chapter 93

Orana’s Point of ViewI woke to the sharp scent of antiseptic and the steady beep of a monitor near my bed. For one slow second, I forgot where I was. All I remember was Vaughn with Carla, then the wetness between my legs.Panic crashed into me so hard my chest hurt as my hand reached for my belly.“My baby.” My voice came out weak and rough.I tried to sit up too fast, but pain pulled through my stomach. A hand caught mine before I could move again.“She’s fine,” Penelope whispered quickly. “Orana, calm down. Your baby is safe. Everything is okay.”I looked at her face, searching for any sign of a lie, as tears burned behind my eyes. Her fingers squeezed mine tighter. “The baby is fine. But you need rest, sweetheart.” My eyes roamed around the room.“You lost a lot of blood. But seems like you have a fighter,” she said, giving me a weak smile as I sniffled back.Vaughn did this. If not for him, I wouldn’t have to be here with our baby. But I needed to be strong now; I had two babies

Chapter 94

Orana’s point of viewI was woken up screaming and arguing down the hallway. I pulled the sheets off me as I eased toward the hallway downstairs, gripping the railing as I listened.“How dare you treat that girl like that?!” Penelope shouted.I have never heard her screaming, but right now I could hear them arguing, and she sounded so angry.I slowly made my way towards the living room, where the voices were coming from.“I don’t even know if the baby is mine.” He said.I swear I could hear my heart stop, and everything was blurring as I stood there listening to him say those words. I slowly place a hand on my stomach.“For all I know,” he continued coldly, “she was fucking Callahan.”The slap cracked through the room so loudly that I flinched. Tears burned behind my eyes.“You will not speak about her like that!” his mother screamed, and then I heard curses, probably from James.“I swear to God, I’ll kill him. Fucking say that again,” she snapped, as I came into view of what was happ

Chapter 95

Orana’s Point of View“Did you find something?” I asked Sienna, who was plopped on the edge of the bed, a line on her forehead as she shook her head, her eyes locked on the screen.“I don’t understand,” she said, tapping her lips with her index finger, which she usually does when she’s in deep thought.“Understand?” I arched an eyebrow.She turned the laptop to me, and I understood what she was talking about. It was a picture of Vaughn and me, and he was looking at me like I was something beautiful.“Just a few days ago, I would have sworn he would have killed anyone who hurt you.”My stomach twisted as I looked at the picture in front of me.“I guess people are good at pretending.”“Yes. But there’s no way he could fake everything. I mean…”“Sienna,” I snapped.“I’m sorry. I just thought maybe for once you found a man who loved you and would do anything to protect you.”So did I.“Anyway. Keep searching. I will talk to Penelope.” I said, picking up my laptop. I stared at the reports

Chapter 96

Vaughn’s Point of View“She might lose the baby,” James said, coming to stand next to me.I stood by the window in my father’s office, staring out at the rain pouring over the garden. Water streaked across the glass, blurring the lights outside.I kept my hands in my pockets because they were shaking so much. So much was going through my mind.James stepped closer to me, and I could smell his cologne so close. “Did you hear me?”I heard him speak, but I just couldn’t let myself feel it because if I did, I would lose control.“Are you happy now?” He asked.I looked away from the window and started walking out of the office because there was no way I was staying in this office when he sounded like he was disappointed.He grabbed my arm hard enough to stop me.“For fuck’s sake, Vaughn.” His voice cracked with anger. “A few months ago, you would’ve burned the world down for that girl.”I laughed softly, even hating the way my voice sounded. “A distraction,” I said. “That’s all she was.”J

Chapter 97

Orana’s Point of ViewThe sound of the hairdryer filled the bathroom while I stared at my reflection, trying to dry my hair.I looked as if I hadn’t slept in weeks. Which wasn’t true because I spent most of my time in bed until last Friday, when Sienna allowed me to walk around.The shadows under my eyes still showed, no matter how much makeup I used or how carefully I fixed my hair.I turned the dryer off slowly and leaned against the sink for a second, taking a deep breath.I can do this.It was my new mantra since I almost lost my baby three weeks ago.The house was quiet except for Liorah’s cartoons playing in the living room and the sound of the kettle boiling.A knock sounded against the bathroom door before Sienna pushed it open and peered inside with a smile.“You look good, mama,” she teased, and I couldn’t help but chuckle, meeting her eyes in the mirror.“Thanks,” I combed through my hair, then touched up my makeup, but I could see how she was watching me.“What?”“You’re s

Chapter 98

Orana’s point of viewThe office smelled like vanilla and coffee, and a slight scent of citrus. Someone had cleaned it recently, from the lack of dust on my desk.I sat behind the desk and powered on the computer, taking a deep breath. The screen reflected my tired face, and I smiled weakly, thinking of what I should be doing first.I needed my shares back. Every single one Vaughn manipulated away from me while I trusted him. It was the only way I could get my family off my back.A knock interrupted my thoughts as I looked up from my screen, where I had carefully planned which areas to target.Edward stepped inside. Relief crossed his face when he saw me. “You’re back,” he said weakly, and I nodded.“Unfortunately.”He smiled slightly before sitting across from me, crossing his legs as he took me in.“How are you doing?”I shrugged with a weak smile. I’m sure news had gotten out about what happened in the last few weeks. “I’m alive.”Edward studied me quietly, as if he knew I was lyin

Chapter 99

Vaughn’s point of viewFive long fucking weeks that I haven’t held her in my arms. That she hasn’t looked at me with those eyes like I was something worth anything in this life.I stopped sleeping every night, watching her even as she tried to move on. When she came into the office for the meeting yesterday, I almost lost it. But I loved the fire in her eyes.Good. She was finally fighting back.I didn’t plan to attend the meeting today, but when Dante said she might be attending, I decided, what the fuck. I’m going to see her.The board meeting started at ten, but I arrived late on purpose because I knew she would already be there.The moment I walked into the RSO building, I saw her standing near the reception desk with her mother.Orana looked thinner, but her belly was showing. From the weeks I found out, she was fourteen weeks pregnant, which means she didn’t know the gender. Could I pull this off in less than four weeks so I could be there when she went for her first scan? When

Chapter 100

Vaughn’s point of viewOrana left the room without looking back, Colter by her side. I tried to catch up with her, but she was so fast.“Under duress?” I asked after catching her by the elevator, but she didn’t even look at me, just stared at the doors.Orana turned slowly toward me, her eyes raking over me, then to Colter.“Everyone warned me about you,” she said. “They said you were cruel. Dangerous. That you didn’t deserve my kindness.”Her lips trembled, and I could see the pain in her eyes.“But I defended you.”I shifted slightly, playing off that I was walking towards her, but it was because I felt awkward.“I wish I had never met you that night,” she whispered.The pain in her voice destroyed me. She told me she was always glad she met me that night, but now this? This was…“I wish I had died before I knew you.”I could not breathe; she meant every word she said.“But I’m grateful for one thing,” she said, her hand going to her belly. “At least my baby will never know the mons

Chapter 101

Orana’s point of viewMy head throbbed so badly that even breathing hurt. I tried to lift my hand to cover my ears from the ringing, but I couldn’t move.My arm felt strange to me, like it wasn’t mine but not really mine. Something was wrong with me. Why was my body so stiff?My neck felt stiff, locked in place, while pain burned along my spine. My body felt heavy, as if someone had tied stones to my limbs and thrown me into deep water. I could hear voices somewhere around me, muffled and distant, but they made no sense.I tried to speak, but no sound came out; it was as if I were in a dream and trying to wake up.I blinked back as I whimpered softly. “Liorah?” I called, wanting my child before anything else.“Easy,” a voice whispered near me. “You’re okay. Just relax.”I did not know that voice. It wasn’t someone I knew, and my Liorah definitely wasn’t a man.I forced my eyes open, but the bright light stabbed through my skull. A groan slipped past my lips before I could stop it.The
