Chapter 81- LIA'S PLAN

The safe world I had built was about to be tested like never before. And I didn’t know if it would survive. We went back inside the ward together. The air felt thicker than before, like the walls themselves were holding their breath. Adrian walked beside me, his steps heavy but controlled. His face was still pale from the shock, but he kept his posture straight, the way he always did when he wanted to look in control. I could see the storm behind his eyes, the questions, the anger, the disbelief. But he didn’t speak. Not yet. The doctor was waiting near Lila’s bed, checking the monitors. Clara sat beside Elias, who was still sleeping peacefully on her lap. Emma stood close to Lila, her hand gently resting on the edge of the bed. When we entered, everyone looked up. The room felt small with all of us in it. Adrian cleared his throat. His voice was low but steady when he spoke to the doctor. “What do you need me to do? Tell me exactly.” Dr. Patel nodded, her expression professional

Chapter 82- BLOOD AND QUESTIONS

I sat beside Lila’s bed, holding her hand. The doctor had taken Adrian away for the blood test, and the room felt a little less heavy without him. Emma and Clara stayed close, their presence giving me strength. The door opened softly. The doctor stepped back in with Adrian behind her. He looked shaken, his face pale. He glanced at the twins, then at me, but didn’t speak. The doctor explained the process briefly, the blood draw, the matching, the transfusion. Adrian nodded and followed her out again without a word to me. I stayed with my children, my mind racing. The past and the present were colliding, and I didn’t know if I was ready. But I had to be. For them. Shortly after, the door to the ward opened again. Adrian walked back in, his face still pale from the shock. Nathan was already here with me, standing quietly near the window. He came when Adrian was taken to get his blood tested. Adrian stopped for a second when he saw Nathan. His eyes narrowed slightly, a flicker of sur

Chapter 83- THE DESPERATE MOVE

Lia knew Victor didn’t like her at the moment. The thought sat heavy in her chest as she stood in front of the mirror in her room. The mansion felt colder than ever, the silence pressing down on her like a weight. She had spent the last few days crying in private, begging for Adrian’s attention, only to be ignored. Her parents had tried to comfort her, but even they could see the Laurent family was slipping away from her grasp. She couldn’t let that happen. She had sacrificed too much. She chose her clothes carefully. A light, transparent nightdress that clung to her body. No bra. No panties. The fabric was thin enough to show the outline of her curves, soft enough to look innocent but revealing enough to tempt. She brushed her hair until it fell in smooth waves down her back. She sprayed a light perfume on her neck and wrists, the one Adrian used to like. She looked at herself in the mirror one last time. Her eyes were still red from crying, but she forced a small, seductive smile.

Chapter 84- THE PRICE OF LOYALTY

Victor Laurent sat in his large leather chair, the weight of the day’s failures pressing down on him. The company was bleeding. Investors were pulling out. The family name was a joke after the wedding disaster. And now this girl, Lia, was standing in front of him in a thin nightdress that left almost nothing to the imagination. Her body was on full display, the fabric clinging to her curves, her nipples visible through the material. She had come to him with information about Serena, but her eyes told him she wanted more than just talk. Lia stepped closer, her voice soft and pleading. “Uncle Victor… I know I made mistakes. But I can make it right. Let me show you how loyal I can be.” Victor’s eyes moved over her slowly. He was tired. Angry. But the sight of her body stirred something in him. He had always kept his distance, but tonight the house was quiet. Adrian was gone. His wife was away. No one would know. “Come here,” he said, his voice low and commanding. Lia walked around th

Chapter 85- THE CALL THAT SHOOK EVERYTHING

Lia turned to leave. But before she could reach the door, footsteps approached fast from the hallway. Heavy, urgent footsteps. Someone was coming really fast.The head maid burst into the room, her face pale and her uniform slightly disheveled from running. She stopped short when she saw Lia adjusting her dress, her hair messy, her cheeks flushed. The older woman’s eyes widened for a brief second, but she didn’t comment. She had worked in this house long enough to know when to stay silent.“Master,” the head maid said, her voice shaking. “There’s been an accident. Madam Laurent, was in a car crash on the way back from her trip. She’s at the hospital now. The doctors say it’s serious. They need you there immediately.”Victor stood up so fast his chair fell backward. His face went white, then red with shock and anger. “What? How did this happen? Where is she?”The head maid gave him the name of the hospital and the details she had received from the call. Victor didn’t waste time. He gra

Chapter 86- LUMINA'S BACK ON TRACK

I waited for Adrian for a while. I sat in the hallway outside the ward, my hands clasped in my lap, staring at the floor tiles. The hospital was quiet at this hour, the lights dimmed for the night shift. I expected him to come back with questions. After all, he had just learned he had children he never knew about. He had seen the twins. He had donated blood for Lila. I thought he would want answers. I thought he would demand to know why I had hidden them. Why I had run. Why I had become Elena Voss instead of staying as Serena Laurent.But the minutes stretched into an hour. Then two. He didn’t return. The nurse who had taken him for the blood draw walked past once, but she only gave me a small smile and kept going. I stood up eventually, my legs stiff from sitting so long. I needed to clear my mind. I needed to see him, even if it was just to tell him to leave us alone after this. I couldn’t sit there wondering what he was thinking.I walked down the hallway, my shoes soft on the floo

Chapter 87- SHADOWS AND SCREENS

The doctor’s words hung in the air like a heavy curtain. Adrian stood frozen outside the ICU, his jaw tight. Madam Laurent is stable for now. But the next twenty-four hours are critical. He watched the doctor walk away, white coat flapping slightly, before turning to his father who was pacing around the ward worried.“Dad,” Adrian said, voice low. “What really happened?”Victor looked up, eyes tired. He rubbed his face with both hands. “I wish I knew, son. My phone just rang last night while I was on a business meeting with some clients. It was the hospital. They said there’d been an accident. Your mother’s car… hit hard. I didn’t ask questions. I just grabbed my keys and drove here as fast as I could. The police hadn’t even arrived yet when I got the call. That’s all I know right now.”Adrian paced a few steps, hands clenching at his sides. “No details? No one saw anything? A side impact at high speed? That doesn’t sound like a normal crash.”“I know it doesn’t,” Victor replied, voic

Chapter 88- WHISPERS OF BLAME

Clara and Emma walked through the front door just as the sun dipped low, painting the living room in soft orange light. I’d been waiting for them, tea already cooling on the table. Lila and Elias ran to greet them first, Elias tugging at Clara’s sleeve with a big grin.“You’re back!” I said, standing up. “Tell me everything. How did it go at the branches?”Clara dropped her bag on the couch and sank into it with a tired sigh. Emma followed, looking pleased but worn out. “It was busy but good,” Clara started. “The east branch had a small mix-up with the new supplier order. They sent the wrong shade of yarn twice. I sat down with the manager, went through the invoices line by line, and got it sorted. Called the supplier right there. Promised them a better discount if they fixed it by morning. Customers were happy once we explained.”Emma jumped in, eyes bright. “The west branch was smoother. We ran a quick training session on the new inventory system. A couple of the girls were nervous

Chapter 89- FRACTURED TRUST

The air grew thick. Lia’s back hit the wall, apologies spilling out in a rush as fear flashed across her face. “I’m sorry, Mr. Laurent. Please, I only wanted to help the family. I thought—” Victor kept closing the distance, his steps slow but heavy. His eyes never left hers. The hallway felt smaller, the beeps from nearby machines the only other sound. Before he could say more, footsteps echoed from the entrance. Adrian walked in, phone still in hand, his face lined with exhaustion. “What is going on here?” Adrian asked, voice sharp. He glanced between his father and Lia, sensing the tension right away. Victor stopped and turned to his son. He ran a hand through his graying hair and let out a tired breath. “Why don’t you ask Lia here? She seems to have plenty to say about Serena and this whole mess. Go on, Lia. Tell him what you told me.” With that, Victor shook his head and walked away. He pushed open the door to his wife’s room and stepped inside. Elena lay still in the bed, mon

Chapter 90- DANGEROUS MEETING

Lia stared at the glowing screen of her phone, the mysterious message still open. ‘I saw what happened at the hospital. Meet me tomorrow if you want real help against Serena. I have proof.’ Her heart beat faster. Everything she had told Victor earlier was made up, just words twisted from her own jealousy. So how could this stranger claim to have proof? It surprised her. For the first time, a small doubt crept in. What if Serena really was planning something against the Laurent family? What if her return wasn’t innocent after all? She sat on the edge of the couch, mind racing through every recent encounter. Serena coming back would make it even difficult for Adrian to love her again, all hope Lia had that Adrian would eventually forgive her. It began to fade. Lia shook her head slightly but couldn’t push the thought away completely. “Mom, Dad, I’m tired,” she said, standing up. “I need to go lie down for a bit. Today was too much.” Her mother nodded with understanding. “Go on, de
