“The one I built under the mansion. The one I told you about.”Fiona took a moment to process his words. “You’re taking me there?”“Yes. I want you there with us.”Her voice softened slightly. “What about Cassie?”Briar’s face became cold again. “She doesn’t know about it.”“She doesn’t know about the bunker?”“She doesn’t know about any of this,” Briar replied. “And she’s not going to.”Fiona was quiet for a few seconds before asking, “You’re leaving her behind?”“I’m not leaving her behind,” Briar said firmly. “I’m simply not prioritizing her right now. I have to think about the people who matter and the people who can actually help us survive whatever is coming.”Fiona let out a bitter laugh. “You’re unbelievable.”“Fiona—”“No, it’s fine. I understand.” Her voice turned sharp. “You’re a coward, Briar. You always have been. You only care about people when they’re useful to you.”Briar’s jaw tightened. “Fiona, this isn’t the time for this.”“I know. And that’s why I’ll do what you a

He looked down at his clipboard. “Maria Sanchez. Positive.”A maid stepped forward. Her face was pale, and she was shaking. Erica immediately took several steps away from her, her expression filled with disgust. “Stay there,” she warned, holding up a hand. “Don’t come near me.” The maid looked hurt, but the health officers quickly led her to a separate area.“William Theo. Positive.”Another staff member stepped forward. He was already showing symptoms sweating, shaking, and struggling to breathe. Erica practically jumped behind Briar. “Oh my God. Keep him away from us!”The three of them were led to a separate area where they would be quarantined. The officer continued reading from the clipboard, and the room became even quieter. “Cassie Welson. Negative.”Cassie let out a breath she didn’t know she had been holding. Relief washed over her, but before she could fully relax, Sierra turned toward her with a cold smile. “Negative,” Sierra said. “How disappointing. I was hoping you’d be

Erica immediately stepped forward. “We’re waiting.”Sierra let out a humorless laugh and looked directly at her. “It’s my boyfriend. He’s the father.”The entire room fell silent. Briar stared at her in disbelief. “Your boyfriend?”“Yes, my boyfriend.” Sierra’s voice was steadier now. “He’s the man I’ve been dating for two years. He’s the man I love.”Erica's face was red with anger. "You lied to us.""I didn't lie. I just didn't tell you the truth.""That's the same thing!"Sierra laughed again. "Is it? Because from where I'm standing, you lied to yourselves. You wanted a surrogate. You wanted an heir. You wanted someone to carry your precious Welson baby. And you didn't care who it was or what she wanted.""We paid you!" Erica's voice rose. "We paid you to carry our grandchild!""You paid me to be a vessel. A womb. Nothing more." Sierra's voice was sharp. "You didn't care about me. You didn't care about my life. You just wanted a baby.""That's what surrogacy is!""No. Surrogacy is

Cassie gave him a cold smile, her cheek still burning from the slap. “ Over my dead body will I be yours? You had the audacity to lay your hands on me. I’m adding that to the list of things I’ll be fighting you over in court because I don’t want you anymore. And don’t worry about your precious belongings. Keep everything. Keep the house. Keep the furniture. Keep the jewelry. Keep every gift you ever bought me. You can keep all of it as a reminder of the wife you were so confident would never have the courage to leave you.”“Cassie, enough,” Briar snapped.“No. I think six years was enough.” Her voice was calm, but there was no hesitation in it anymore. She had spent six years begging for love, respect, and a place in a marriage that had never truly been hers. She was done begging.Cassie reached for the door, but before stepping out, she stopped and looked back at him. “You threw me out because I asked for a divorce and hurt your pride. That’s the truth, Briar. Don’t pretend this was

Cassie turned to him so quickly that she almost hit her head against the window. “What?”“Your husband.” Hank’s eyes stayed on the road. His voice was calm, but there was something cold underneath it. “I’m going to kill him.”“Hank.”“I’m serious.”Cassie stared at him, trying to figure out if he was joking. He wasn’t.Hank tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “I met that man two days ago. I sat across from him at dinner, shook his hand, and signed a merger agreement worth a hundred million dollars with his company. And now I find out that the same man put his hands on you.”Cassie didn’t know what to say.Hank glanced at her briefly before returning his eyes to the road. “I don’t like him anymore.”Despite everything, Cassie almost laughed. “You didn’t exactly like him before.”“No.” Hank’s jaw tightened. “But now I have a reason.”“Hank, you can’t just destroy someone’s company because he slapped me.”“I can.”His answer came so quickly that Cassie fell silent.Hank continued d
