Chapter 1

Ruby’s POVI looked at the ceiling, staring at a water stain that shaped itself like a broken heart. It was funny, really. Or maybe it was just pathetic. My hands were resting on my stomach, pressing down hard as if I could somehow force the emptiness inside.The doctor had just left. His words were still loudly bouncing around in my head. He told me he was sorry. He told me the accident had caused too much trauma. He told me I had lost the baby.I didn’t even know there was a baby to lose.I closed my eyes, and all I could see was the bright flash of headlights, the horrifying sound of metal crunching, and then the heat. But it wasn’t until I was sitting in the driver’s seat, trying to breathe through the shock, that I felt the wetness. I looked down, saw the dark red stain spreading across the gray fabric of the car seat, and that was the moment panic choked me. I knew something was wrong. I just didn’t know it was already too late.A tear slipped out of the corner of my eye, burn

Chapter 2

Ruby’s POVI didn't think. I just pushed the door open, the heavy wood swinging back until it hit the wall with a sharp thud.The sound cut through the room, and both of them froze. Ethan turned his head first, his dark eyes narrowing slightly when they landed on me. He didn't let go of Vivian right away, his hands lingering on her waist for a second before he finally stepped back."Ruby?" Ethan asked, his voice sounding more annoyed than shocked. "What are you doing here?"I stared at him, my hand gripping my IV pole so hard my knuckles turned white. My voice shook, but I couldn't stop the hurt from bleeding out. "I called you. I called you so many times, Ethan. You never answered."Before Ethan could even open his mouth, Vivian let out a small, breathless gasp. She shrank back against the side of the hospital bed, her eyes wide and pooling with dramatic tears."Oh my god, Ruby," Vivian whimpered, her hands flying to my mouth. "I am so, so sorry. It was an accident, I swear. The ligh

Chapter 3

Ruby’s POVThe leather seat of the taxi was cold against my bare legs, and every bump in the road sent a sharp, agonizing jolt straight through my lower abdomen. I stared out the window, watching the streetlights blur into long streaks of yellow and white. I didn't care where the driver was taking me, as long as it was far away from that hospital room.My phone vibrated in my lap. It was a calendar reminder for dinner with Emily.I swallowed the lump in my throat, blinking back a fresh wave of tears as I unlocked the screen and dialed her number. She picked up on the very first ring."Hey, babe! I'm already at the restaurant, I got us that booth you like. Where are you?" Emily’s cheerful voice flooded through the speaker, and the sheer normalcy of it almost made me sob out loud."Em," I choked out, my voice cracking completely. "I can't make it tonight. I'm so sorry. I was in a car accident."There was a sudden, loud crash on her end, like she had dropped her fork onto the table. "Wha

Chapter 4

Ruby’s POVA gasp tore out of my throat, and my hands flew to my mouth as the tears started flowing all over again. But this time, they weren't tears of grief. They were tears of shock.Emily let out a loud squeal next to me, her fingers squeezing mine so hard she was practically cutting off my circulation. "Oh my god, Ruby! Did you hear that? The baby is still there!""I hear it," I whispered, my eyes glued to that tiny, flickering light on the monitor. It was a miracle. A tiny, fragile miracle fighting for its life inside me.The doctor cleared his throat, his expression softening as he watched us, but his tone quickly turned serious again. "Please understand, Mrs. Sinclair, the baby is extremely fragile right now. Your body has been through massive physical trauma, and losing one twin puts the other at a severe disadvantage. You must rest properly. No lifting, no exertion, and most importantly, you need to avoid stress or anger. Your emotional state directly impacts the pregnancy."

Chapter 5

Ethan’s POVI rubbed my temples as Vivian’s sobbing echoed through the speaker of my phone. She had been crying for the past twenty minutes, her voice high and breathless as she went over the details of what happened at the hospital again."She literally had the guards throw me out, Ethan," Vivian wailed, sniffing loudly. "In front of everyone! I was just trying to be nice and see how she was doing, and she completely humiliated me. My arm still hurts from where that man grabbed me. It’s not good for the baby to be this stressed.""I know, Viv. Just breathe," I said, my voice deep and tired. I leaned back in my leather office chair, staring at the stack of pack paperwork on my desk. "Ruby shouldn't have done that. I’ll handle it, okay? Try to rest. I’ll come by and visit you this evening to check on you.""Promise?" she whispered vulnerably."I promise," I said, hanging up the phone a second later.As soon as the screen went black, a notification popped up at the top. It was a text fr
