Chapter 1 : Daddy Never Came

Fayre"Is Daddy coming?"Phoebe’s tiny, frail voice broke the silence in the living room. She sat on the edge of the sofa, her oversized birthday hat slipping slightly to the side. She looked so pale, her small hands clutching the hem of her party dress.I forced a bright smile, though my chest felt like it was caving in. "Of course he is, baby. Daddy just got held up at work. You know how busy he gets.""But he promised," she whispered, her lower lip trembling. "He promised he would be here for my cake.""I know, sweetheart," I said, walking over to adjust her hat. "He'll be here soon."I turned away before she could see the tears pooling in my eyes. I walked into the kitchen, trying to calm my nerves.Elma, our longtime housekeeper, gave me a sympathetic look as she arranged the candles on the cake. "Should I try calling Mr. Mitchell again, ma’am?""No," I replied. "I’ve called him six times. He knows what today is."I stared blindly out the kitchen window. I used to be a brilliant

Chapter 2 : He Signed Her Death Warrant

Fayre "Phoebe!" My hands shook violently as I pulled my daughter's limp, fragile body into my lap. She was so cold. Her lips were turning blue, her breathing shallow and ragged."Call an ambulance! Mitchell, call an ambulance right now!" I sobbed, looking up at my husband.Mitchell stood frozen, his face pale, but before he could even reach for his phone, Ria let out a sharp cry and collapsed against his chest, clutching her pregnant stomach."Mitchell... oh god, my stomach... it hurts so bad," Ria groaned, squeezing her eyes shut. "The shock... I think something’s wrong with the baby!"Mitchell’s eyes snapped from our unconscious daughter straight to Ria. Without a second thought, he wrapped his arms around her, completely ignoring my tears. "Ria, look at me. Breathe. I’ve got you.""Are you blind?!" I roared, my voice cracking with pure agony. "Your daughter is unconscious on the floor, Mitchell! She’s having a severe crisis! Move your feet and help me!""Stop screaming at me, Fa

Fayre"Clear!"The crack of the defibrillator echoed through the doors of the ICU. Inside, Sanyi was shouting at three frantic nurses, his hands pumping down on Phoebe’s tiny, unmoving chest.I pressed my hands against the glass. Move. Please, baby, just breathe. Just take one breath."Fayre, pull yourself together," Mitchell’s voice wave through the sound of the beeping monitors. He stood a few feet behind me, his hands tucked into his suit pockets. "The doctors are doing what they can. Standing there crying isn't going to change the efficiency of the medical staff."I turned my head slowly, looking at him through a blur of tears. "Her heart stopped because of you, Mitchell. You took the money for her medicine.""I reallocated corporate capital to a viable pregnancy," Mitchell said, his chin lifting with that insufferable, unyielding arrogance. "Ria’s child carries the primary bloodline. It was a decision for the hospital future. You’re a scientist, Fayre. You should understand bett

Chapter 4 : His Biggest Mistake

Fayre The doors of the Vance penthouse closed behind me, shutting out the storm.I stood in the grand, vaulted foyer of my family’s ancestral home, my wet clothes clinging to my shivering body. For 7 years, I had lived in a cramped penthouse, counting pennies for Phoebe’s medical bills, completely isolated from the trillions of dollars my family controlled. All for a man who let my daughter die."My sweet girl."The deep, trembling voice echoed from the top of the marble staircase.I looked up. Lord Vance—the most feared financial titan in the global underground, and my grandfather—was hurrying down the steps. "Grandpa," I choked out.I collapsed against his chest. The unbreakable, icy wall I had built at the hospital finally shattered. I screamed. I grabbed fistfuls of his shirt and sobbed until my throat bled, the agonizing reality of Phoebe's death tearing me apart from the inside out."Let it out, my precious bird," my grandfather whispered fiercely, holding me so tight I could
