Liam's POVThe following morning, I sat behind my desk at Reynolds Holdings, but my mind wasn't completely on work.Ava had been on my mind since yesterday.More specifically, her reaction.When I mentioned the anonymous messages and the possibility that someone knew more about Diana's surrogacy, something changed in her.She had tried to hide it but I saw it.The slight tension in her face. The way her fingers tightened. The hesitation before she answered me.And then there was the question she had asked.You want to look into it even though Damien isn't your son?At the time, I hadn't thought much about it. But now, I couldn't stop thinking about it.I knew what Ava had told me about Damien's father.She had told me she was raped and didn't know who the man was.I believed her.At least, I believed what she had told me. But yesterday had left me with an uncomfortable feeling.Not necessarily that she had lied to me.Just that there was something about her past she wasn't ready to ta

Liam and Ava's POVLiam's Pov By the time I got home, it was already late.I walked through the front door, still carrying the anger from my confrontation with Sebastian.I had barely taken off my jacket when I heard footsteps."Daddy!"Diana came running toward me and my expression immediately softened as my eyes fell on her."Hey, princess."She hugged my waist, "Where were you?""Work."She looked up at me suspiciously."You came home late.""I know."She folded her arms frowning, "I want to go to Damien's house."I blinked confused, "Now?""Yes.""Diana, it's late.""But I've never stayed at his house before."I sighed. "We'll go another day.""No."I raised an eyebrow."No?"She shook her head firmly."I want to see Damien at his house Daddy."I rubbed my forehead."Diana...""Please, Daddy."She gave me the look she knew I couldn't resist.I sighed, "Fine."Her face immediately lit up. "Really?""Yes. Go get ready."She squealed before running upstairs.I stood there for a mome

Liam's POVThe following morning, I sat behind my desk at Reynolds Holdings, going through the reports Ivan had sent me.Business was moving normally.The latest expansion was progressing well, the financial department had submitted the quarterly figures, and there were two major deals waiting for my approval.Normally, that would have been enough to occupy my mind. But lately, nothing seemed to be enough.I closed the file in front of me and leaned back. There was something I needed to deal with first.Ava's past.She had told me she was raped and never knew the identity of the man responsible.I believed her.But if that man was still somewhere out there, I wanted to know who he was.Not because I doubted Ava but because I wanted to protect her.I picked up my phone and called Ivan.He answered quickly."Good morning, sir.""Come to my office.""I'll be there."A few minutes later, he walked in.I motioned for him to sit."I want you to look into something.""What is it?""The man w

Ava's POVI stared at my message for several seconds.Ava: I'm at the gate outside your house. Can I come in, or should I come upstairs?There was no reply.I lowered my phone slowly. Something felt wrong.I looked toward the mansion, wondering why he hadn't answered yet.A few minutes passed then the gate opened.My heart lifted for a second."Liam..."But the moment he stepped through, that feeling disappeared.His face was cold. His eyes were red, like he hadn't slept. He didn't look at me the way he usually did.He didn't smile. He didn't even say hello.He simply walked toward me.I swallowed."Liam?"He stopped a few feet away."How long?"My heart dropped. "What?""How long were you planning to keep lying to me?"I froze.My lips parted, but no words came out.He stared at me. "Was everything a lie?""Liam...""Don't.” His voice was low, but I could hear the anger beneath it. "Don't call my name like everything is still normal."Tears immediately filled my eyes.He already knew

Margaret's POVPart 1All my life, I had wanted one thing.Power.Not the kind that came from money alone, but the kind that made people listen when I spoke. The kind that made sure my family would never have to beg anyone for anything.I learned that lesson very early.I was once Margaret Blackwood. My family had once been comfortable, but things changed quickly. Debts began piling up, businesses started failing, and we were slowly getting closer to losing everything.That was when I learned that love wasn't always enough.Sometimes, you needed to be smart. Sometimes, you needed to recognize an opportunity when it appeared.And I did.I met Christopher Reynolds at an exclusive gathering attended by some of the most influential families in New York.I was young then, but I wasn't naive.The moment I saw him, I knew exactly who he was.Christopher Reynolds.A man whose family name carried power, wealth and influence.He approached me first."May I join you?"I smiled."Of course."We t
