Bit of Ruin

Olivia's Pov The heavy glass doors of the Grand Continental swung open, and I stepped into the refined, dimly lit dining room with Ethan by my side. His hand rested firmly and reassuringly against the small of my back, anchoring me as we navigated the polished floors.Across the spacious room, sitting in an isolated corner booth, were Evelyn and Kelvin.As we approached their table, Kelvin looked up, a smug, triumphant smirk spreading across his face. Evelyn sat beside him, swirling her water glass with an air of cold amusement.I took a sharp breath, trying to steady the frantic beating of my heart. Ethan and I pulled out the chairs opposite them and slid into our seats.Kelvin leaned forward, resting his forearms on the table. "So... it was true the entire time," he chuckled softly, shaking his head. "Rothwell actually swooped in to pick up my leftovers."Evelyn offered a thin, venomous smile. "I told you so, Kelvin. Leopards never change their spots."The blatant disrespect made m

A conference

I held Kelvin’s burning, arrogant gaze for a long, heavy stretch of silence.Then, a cold, unyielding smirk touched the corners of my lips."Kelvin," I murmured, my voice slicing quietly through the tense air of the restaurant. "Have you ever actually stopped to think about who the real problem was in our marriage... and why we never managed to have a child?"Kelvin blinked, the smug look on his face instantly fracturing into sheer confusion. "What the hell are you talking about? I have a son!"I let out a dry, dismissive breath, turning my cold gaze toward a pale, silent Evelyn before sliding out of the booth and walking away with Ethan right by my side.Once we climbed back into the sleek interior of Ethan's car and pulled away from the Grand Continental, the heavy silence inside the cabin finally broke."What was the meaning of what you said back there?" Ethan asked quietly, keeping his eyes on the road as he navigated through traffic."Oh, it's nothing," I replied, forcing an airy

How's it Possible

Olivia's Pov The tires of Ethan’s car screeched as they slammed to a halt outside the emergency entrance of Saint Jude’s General Hospital. Before the vehicle had even fully settled into park, I flung my door open and bolted across the asphalt, my heart hammering violently against my ribs."Which room is Vincent Whitmore in?!" I demanded frantically at the front reception desk, my voice trembling out of control.The receptionist hastily typed away at her terminal. "Pediatric observation wing, Room 304, second floor—"I didn't wait to hear the rest. I sprinted down the hallway, Ethan right on my heels, his long strides keeping pace with my panic. When we burst into Room 304, Miss Elena was sitting in a chair by the bedside, wringing her hands anxiously."Miss Elena!" I cried out, rushing past the medical cart. "What happened?! Is he okay?!"The nanny stood up immediately, her eyes red-rimmed. "Oh, Olivia... we were walking back from the grocery store near the corner. A car ran the red

Something Critical

Ethan's Pov The sterile air of the Saint Jude’s corridor hummed with tension. My jaw was locked, my hands clenched into tight fists at my sides as I pulled Olivia back against me, shielding her from the absolute chaos unfolding in front of us.Kelvin’s face twisted in sheer disbelief, his voice pitching upward as he pointed a trembling finger at Olivia. "What do you mean by the mother of my child should answer that question?! You're barren! How is it possible that you gave birth?!""Leave, Kelvin," I commanded, my voice dropping into a razor-sharp, lethal register. "Right now.""No! I want answers—" Kelvin started, stepping forward.Before he could take another step, Miss Elena jogged down the hall with two burly hospital security guards trailing right behind her."Oh, perfect," I muttered under my breath, cutting Kelvin off. I locked eyes with the lead guard. "These two individuals are trespassing, harassing patients, and causing a disturbance on a pediatric floor. Get them out of my

It's all Evelyn

The steady beep of the heart monitor in Room 304 filled the quiet space as the doctor finished reviewing Vincent's vitals.My heart ached as I looked down at my little boy lying so pale against the pillows. The very people who had nearly destroyed my life seven years ago were now reaching into the present, putting my son in physical danger. It made me sick to my stomach.When the doctor mentioned Vincent's stabilization and the minor kidney markers, I felt a sudden, sharp spike of panic. I glanced over at Ethan. His brow twitched, his sharp eyes narrowing with a look of intense, analytical calculation.*He's connecting the dots, I thought, a cold sweat breaking out across my neck. *He's going to figure out the medical history. He's going to realize the truth about Vincent.Panic clawed at my chest. *I cannot let that happen.*"Okay," I forced my voice to remain steady, cutting in before the doctor could elaborate further. "As long as he's going to be okay, that's all that matters. Wha

Something's Wrong

Ethan's PovThe secure line hummed against my ear in the quiet stairwell of Saint Jude’s General Hospital."Ethan," Dr. Aris’s tired voice came through the speaker. "Do you know what time it is here? This better be good.""Doctor Aris," I cut in, my voice dangerously low. "Put aside whatever you're doing right now. Have you finished reviewing the archived medical files and DNA preservation records I requested from seven years ago?""Yes, Mr. Ethan," the doctor answered hesitantly. "In fact... that's why I was about to call you. There is something critical you need to know.""Then spill it," I demanded, gripping my phone tighter."I can't just discuss this over an open line like this," Dr. Aris replied firmly. "It requires a proper, secure consultation. You need to hear it to your face."I let out a heavy, frustrated sigh, rubbing the bridge of my nose. "Fine. I'll come see you tomorrow.""Very well, Mr. Ethan. Safe travels," the doctor said before the line clicked dead.I shoved my pho

One Whole Week

Olivia's Pov The sterile white walls of Room 304 blurred into the background as I stood by the bedside, watching Ethan gently lift Vincent into his arms.Those three days in the hospital had gone by in an absolute blur. Ethan had visited continuously, dropping everything to ensure Vincent was comfortable, bringing him books, and staying late into the night. At the same time, the joint legal filings we had launched with V-Global had sent shockwaves through Kelvin and Evelyn's corporate proxy, stabilizing Aurelia Jewels just enough to keep us afloat.I let out a heavy sigh, a quiet wave of relief finally washing over me."Maya is already downstairs with the car. We can head out now," Ethan said softly, turning to me with Vincent resting securely against his shoulder."Okay," I murmured, quickly packing up the remaining toiletries and clothes into our overnight bags.As I zipped the duffel, I couldn't help but smile slightly, watching how completely obsessed Vincent was with talking to

Something you Like

Olivia's Pov I stood alone in the quiet sanctuary of my bedroom, staring at the closed door leading out to the living room.I can't believe I actually agreed to this, I thought, pressing my hands against my temples. *What the hell is wrong with me? How on earth did I just let him move in for a whole week?*As if on cue, the light, musical sound of Vincent’s bright giggle drifted down the hall, followed by a deeper, rich chuckle from Ethan.I let out a long, heavy sigh, the tension in my shoulders easing just a fraction. *That's why,* I reminded myself quietly. That's the only reason I'm doing this—for him.I turned around, my eyes scanning the room. My gaze landed on the corner where Ethan’s overnight bag sat. His clothes had already been neatly unpacked and arranged in the wardrobe, looking so naturally placed that it felt as though he belonged here, as though he had always been meant to share this space with us.I just hope I'm not making a monumental mistake, I whispered to myself

Nothing to do with You

Olivia's Pov I watched Ethan turn and walk out of the bedroom, the sound of his low voice mingling with Vincent's cheerful chatter echoing down the hall.I let out a long, shuddering breath, pressing my hands against my cheeks. I can't believe I actually agreed to this. What the hell is wrong with me? How could I possibly let him spend a whole week under my roof?Then, another soft ripple of Vincent's genuine, happy laughter drifted through the door. The sound instantly softened the sharp panic in my chest. Right. That's why. For his happiness, for his recovery, I could survive anything.Realizing I had already showered before attempting that disastrous cooking experiment, I initially thought about skipping a second shower. But after a quick mental debate about how long we might be out, I decided a fresh start was better. I ducked into the bathroom and turned on the hot water.Standing under the spray, my thoughts inevitably drifted back to the legal warfront. The joint statements V

A Different Memory

Olivia's Pov We finally left the apartment, walking down to the underground parking garage and climbing into the sleek luxury sedan. As Ethan slid behind the steering wheel to drive, I settled into the plush leather of the backseat with Vincent right beside me, keeping him entertained with his small action figures.The initial silence inside the cabin stretched heavy and thick. Looking up, I caught Ethan’s gaze lingering on me through the rearview mirror. I swallowed hard, shifting uncomfortably under his quiet, intense scrutiny."I... I never thought you would have close friends in a place like this," I blurted out, trying desperately to break the suffocating quiet.Ethan kept his eyes on the road, turning the steering wheel smoothly. "I'm not usually a fan of making friends. But this one sort of just happened. The guy literally saved my life."I raised a skeptical brow, tilting my head. "Saved your life? How on earth did he save your life?""Back when I first wanted to set up opera
