In relief, Kieran’s shoulders relaxed. "I'll stay away from all women going forward, Haley. Take this.”He placed a black card in her palm. "It has thirty million on it. Your birthday is the password. Purchase anything you desire.”The automobile was started by Kieran.The logic made sense to him as well.Given that he already had control over every significant asset and property, this might be payment for Haley’s allegiance throughout the years.Haley took a seat in the passenger seat, glanced at the card, and returned it."I don't need it," she said. "I have nowhere to spend that kind of money."The regret in Kieran’s eyes grew as he turned to face her. "How can you say you have nowhere to spend it? Take your friends shopping. Obtain facials. Do as you please.”He was too familiar with her. Haley constantly made an effort to save money for him, lived frugally, and presented herself as a sensible lady creating a life.After putting the card away, he pulled over and briefly tapped his

With the intention of catching him and asking, Haley hurried outside.After just a few steps, Kieran materialized and almost ran her over.She had been gone for too long, so he had come to find her.He put a worried hand on her shoulder. "Are you okay, Haley? You're quite pale. Did you have a tummy ache?”She gave a headshake. "No. It was packed. I'm satisfied. Let's head back home.”In his pocket, Kieran’s phone continued to vibrate. He gave a nod. "All right. Let's head out."*****The mansion was abnormally silent when they got back.Riley seems to have moved out with Lydia. Even the toys that Riley typically left lying around the living room had vanished.Haley knew the probable cause. She had assisted Kieran in resolving the conflict with Ty Group, and in return, Kieran had granted Lydia her want to go to a location he had set up.Haley didn't inquire. There was no purpose.In any case, she was heading out.For the first time in days, the house was peaceful, and she started packi

"I called because I was concerned that you would act carelessly. I can breathe again when I hear you speak like way. When will you return to Vest city? I'll come get you myself." Jules said again."About one weeks or less," Haley replied. "So long?" Jules sounded really dissatisfied. "You won't be able to attend my birthday boat party. How unfortunate.”Haley completed the computation fast. It would be his birthday in approximately a week.It was the day prior to Kieran’s.She wouldn't have to spend all of her energy planning a lavish surprise for Kieran for the first time in years."I'm coming," Haley declared firmly. "I adore gatherings on yachts. You can rely on me to deliver you a genuine gift.”"Seriously?" Jules asked, sounding shocked."I'm not a killer, and you know it," Jules laughed. "You can murder me if I break my promise," Haley teased. "Disregard the gift. Would you mind painting me while running nude on the deck?”Haley rolled her eyes until the back of her skull wa

"When the paperwork is done," Kieran declared, "the company will be ours completely."Lydia didn't let out a breath till then. She reached for her belly in a possessive and protective manner. "I was aware of it. The kids and I are the most important people in your heart.”Kieran’s eyes softened. "Obviously. You are the family.”Lydia got up on her tiptoes and gave him a kiss. "Honey, I want..."Kieran’s grin became provocative and low. "We'll head up to the rooftop patio once they're asleep. Nobody visits that place. You are free to make as much noise as you like.”"Stop," Lydia said, being evasive.From the storage room next to the pantry, where she had stopped merely to fetch water, Haley could clearly hear every word of that whispered flirtation.Silently, she cursed herself.She was not supposed to be down here.She felt as though she needed to clean her ears after being pushed to listen to an offensive preview that she didn't want.She returned to her bedroom after they had depa

Haley had already passed out by the time the paramedics got there. She was in a hospital bed with an IV in her arm when she awoke once more.The air had a subtle herbal scent, clean and sharp in a way that reminded her of medication rather than solace, and something cold pressed against her face."You finally woke up," Vance exclaimed, his voice trembling with relief as he sat next to her and held her hand tightly, his eyes full of dread and rage. "Stephanie informed me that you were receiving treatment in the hospital when I repeatedly contacted you. I was afraid that something..” Vance leaned in to examine her face. "Calm down. You're not deformed. There is little redness and edema.”Then the rage erupted once more. "But how did you come to be this way? Kieran, where is he? You're hurt, and he doesn't appear?" He asked.With a dry throat, Haley swallowed. "Aside from my face, is everything else alright? I was in excruciating pain.”Eager to comfort, Vance hastily waved a hand and

Haley’s voice faltered. "So you don't want it." "No," Kieran blurted out, trying to smile. "Obviously not. I'm content. I'm ecstatic. Don't think that way.”Haley gave a single nod. "Good." Kieran suddenly stood up. "I'll go ask the doctor what's going on then. Get some sleep.” He was not exposed by Haley. "All right."Kieran did not visit her attending physician after he departed. Instead, he stood outside the hospital entrance and called Nadine.Silently following, Haley came to a stop not far from where Kieran was. Every word spoken could be heard clearly by her.As soon as Nadine answered, Kieran said in a quiet but piercing voice, "Explain. You informed me that you were providing her with long-acting birth control. In any case, how did Haley become pregnant?”"What? Pregnant?” Nadine’s voice sounded instantly incredulous. "That sounds incorrect. I looked through the documents. The last time you picked up the refill was three months ago. Did she change the bottle by herself?”

Kieran’s tone instantly toughened Just enough to convey authority, he turned up the volume. "Haley. You've always been thoughtful and sensible. What's wrong with you?"Kieran had already left when Vance arrived with supper. Haley had rejected him for the first time in three years after the talk had failed.Kieran had left with a brief justification about his work, but the reality was more straightforward. He was furious.Vance didn't ask pointless questions. He marched Haley directly to Lydia’s ward, offering his support. They saw Lydia talking with someone on the phone. Her voice so loud."The house and the cars will all be mine and Kieran’s," Lydia said, almost reading her future aloud. "The company will have nothing to do with Haley soon." They had just arrived at the door when Lydia’s victorious, reckless voice drifted out. “If I give birth to a son, she will undoubtedly adopt him.""She'll be a free nanny, and I'll stay by Kieran’s side building the business," Lydia went on. “W

Haley couldn't help but reflect on what a complete idiot she had been. She would suffer greatly each year in an attempt to plan the ideal birthday present for Kieran.When Kieran complained last year about being weak and exhausted all the time, someone told him that matsutake mushrooms were very healing.After he casually brought it up to her, Haley took off and spent weeks following native foragers up peak after peak.The climb completely destroyed her hands and feet; a rattlesnake nearly bit her, and thorns tore her palms into ribbons. She was tortured for over two weeks before discovering a single wild matsutake.Kieran had a sudden need another medicine the previous year, so she flew all the way to the coast and spent hours finding it.She almost drowned as a result of the sharp surfaces completely tearing up her hands and feet.She had given Kieran her wholehearted devotion back then. Determined to place the greatest things in the world at his feet, she insisted on handling every

They arrived late at night after a little two-hour trip to Qcity.The three of them made it a point to visit the city's most well-known fashionable eatery, where they placed an enormous order for ceviche and fresh oysters.Jules excitedly poured beer for everyone, but Haley switched to lemonade after lying and claiming to be on her period.Vance practically pushed Haley to the restroom so she could wash up once they were back at their fancy hotel. It had been off all day for her. She charged her phone it by plugging it in.Notification after notification began to ping as soon as it turned on. Kieran’s SMS were the most noticeable of all the unopened messages.Kieran: [darling, you went to make a surprise for me, according to Lydia. I am so moved that I am at a loss for words]Kieran: [You consistently give so much without expecting anything in return. How could I have earned a wife like you?]Kieran: [I miss you, darling. What will be the surprise this time? I'm eager. Every surprise

Kieran’s mind seems to have blown up. He stumbled back two steps and looked incredulously at Nadine. "No, that can't be right, that's impossible... Nadine, isn't there something else-we can do?"Nadine gave a headshake. "There's nothing I can do at this point, but you need to figure out how medicine meant for Haley ended up in Lydia’s system."Kieran’s phone clattered on the ground as he staggered back.Haley’s phone was off, according to the chilly recorded greeting Kieran received when he robotically contacted her number.****Haley, Vance, and Jules boarded a yacht named in the meanwhile. By renting out the entire yacht, Jules was able to transform what was meant to be a birthday celebration into a sophisticated social gathering.Top corporate executives and affluent socialites from throughout the nation were on the guest list.Jules loved to party, and after boarding, he had mandated that everyone put on masks and change into bikinis.Haley was furious enough to swear at him sin
