MELANIEI blinked, staring at the doctor because I was sure I had heard her wrong. I knew with all of Eva’s symptoms that this was coming, but I still didn’t want to actually hear the words. No. She couldn’t be.The doctor cleared her throat again. The gentle smile on her face faded into a slight frown. She leaned forward and looked from me to Eva and back.“Did you hear me?” she asked, raising her voice slightly as she repeated herself. We were both sitting there like we had gone deaf, without any reaction. Because obviously, the reality of it all hadn't sunk in yet. “You are six weeks pregnant.”I couldn’t look at Eva. I didn’t want to see the broken expression on her face.“How do I get rid of it?” Eva blurted out.I snapped my head toward her. “Eva!”“What?” she asked, her face hardening even though her eyes were still watery.“You can’t just decide that right here and now. You need to think it through—”“Will you carry it for me?” she asked, her voice cracking. My heart broke f

GAVIN“What is this I’m hearing about shifting the focus from the Rossis to Dalton Wealth?” Director Flint thundered.He had called me in after I briefed the other agents on the new direction. I straightened in my seat as he stared at me from behind his desk, the morning sun filtering through the window behind him.“I trust you, Thorne, but things have been moving too slowly in this case. I need action. I need results.”I nodded. “Dalton is hiding things, sir. I believe he’s the key that will help us wrap this up.”He just stared out the window for a long moment. “It’s obvious he’s going to win the election. The gap between Wealth and his opponent is widening, Thorne. The final vote is in exactly two months.” Flint snapped his gaze back to me, his eyes hard. “So whatever unorthodox angle you’re chasing, you have sixty days to deliver a smoking gun. Don’t make me pull you off this case. I have faith in you, Gavin. Do not let me down.”“Yes, sir.” I got up from the seat and made my way

MELANIEMy life had officially turned into a Nollywood drama. That was the only thought running through my head, because what else could you call this?So Cassandra was behind the fake pregnancy report? She planned to make my dad ship me out of the country to avoid a scandal.I needed to call Eva. I was scrolling through my recent calls when my bedroom door opened, and Vivian stepped in, staring at me with deep disappointment all over her face.I put down the phone and took a deep breath. The drama just never ended.“What is it, Vivian? I can see the disappointment written all over your face.”She came in and closed the door softly, then sat beside me on the bed. “I’m not disappointed, Mel. I’m just—”“Disappointed,” I finished for her. “You don’t have to lie. It’s all over your face. You’ve never been good at hiding your emotions. You wear them like a second skin.”She moved closer and grabbed my arm gently. “Melanie, I just… I was so sure you were smarter than this. What’s the use o

GAVINI stood in front of Vivian as she demanded I leave the house. I stared at her, noticing the anger in her eyes and the way her lips were pressed into a thin line. She was obviously upset.How did I let us get caught like this? We could have handled this better, but Melanie’s comment about Vivian not being her mother had made everything worse.I turned my neck to look back at Melanie. I could tell she already regretted what she had said. After all, Vivian had practically raised her.“Vivian, I understand where you’re coming from,” I said carefully, keeping my voice calm. “And I want to apologize for what you saw.”She refused to look at me, staring straight ahead. “My warning still stands. You need to end whatever this is with Melanie. She’s… she could be your daughter!” The pained look returned to her face.“I’m not his child!” Melanie snapped, coming to stand beside me and gripping my hand tightly. Vivian’s eyes dropped to our joined hands, but she said nothing. “I’m in love wit

MELANIEWhat the hell?I stood in the kitchen with my back to Vivian, still staring at the two-word message Eva had sent me. How on earth did he find out? Did she tell him? Did… Gosh. I needed to see her right away.I turned around quickly to look at Vivian. “I’m going out. I need to take care of something important.”My legs were already out of the kitchen before I even heard her response, but I couldn’t wait to listen to what she had to say. I ran up to my room, grabbed my car keys, and ran back downstairs, saying a quick prayer of thanks that I didn’t run into my father on the way. I bolted out of the house.On the drive, I tried calling Eva, but her phone kept going straight to voicemail. I pressed down harder on the accelerator, driving like I had fire on my tail.About twenty minutes later, I pulled up to her house. The journey that should have taken thirty minutes was cut short by my reckless driving that could have ended with a ticket. I got out of the car, grabbed my phone,
