My heart skipped a beat, my tears moist right then. I dropped to a crouch and held him, pressing my ear against his chest again. I could hear his heartbeat, thumping powerfully through his thin shirt. It was such a familiar sensation. It was Stan's heartbeat. As I closed my eyes, my tears flowed ever so quietly. We stayed like that for a while, and as I wiped my tears, I held Nathan firmly in my arms once more. "Please live a good life with Stan's heart." - Nathan walked with me to the gates of the orphanage, but I never once turned to look at him again.

Instead our table has the specific atmosphere of a diplomatic summit that nobody prepared for adequately. Americus sits at the head like a general who has realized her battle plan requires revision but is committed to maintaining morale.

His favoritism would have left me heartbroken once, and his intimacy with Victoria would have made me hysterical. Now, I only felt nauseated. I turned away and headed to the doctor's office but learned he was in surgery. I then returned to my ward, somewhat disappointed. The sterile space contained only a bowl of cold corn soup that sat forgotten on the nightstand. Meanwhile, Raymond had vanished again. Whatever. It did not matter anymore.

From the background, Christopher watched them, his eyes a mixture of sternness and hidden pride. The world tour invitation still lay on the office desk, but the decision was already made. Kai Mercer would step into the ring. And Aria would be beside him—not as a fighter, not as a rival, but as a partner, preparing every punch, every move. The season had begun. And the storm Damian Cross’s return carried with it was closing in on them. ⸻ Evening slowly settled over the city. In the suite, the lamps cast a soft glow, while the TV screen flickered, throwing shifting shadows across the walls. An old, mediocre series played—the kind people don’t really watch, just let run to fill the silence.

CHAPTER ONE Two sleek black sports cars pulled up in front of Pizzeria Da Laura. Two guards swiftly exited the first car, with one opening the door for a young, handsome man dressed in a black suit. His expression was unreadable, and he seems to be emitting a powerful aura. The man is none other than Richard Roberts, the third offspring of the third wealthiest clan in California. A charming, fair lady emerged from the other side of the car and rushed towards him, intertwining her hands with his and giving him a peck.

The misunderstanding between Hiya's apprehensions and Ahil's detached attitude created an emotional chasm, adding to the palpable heat in the room. As Hiya continued to stare at the papers bluntly, the silence spoke volumes, and the unspoken emotions hung in the air. The room became a battlefield of unexpressed feelings, and the uncertainty of the moment intensified the drama, making the atmosphere even more charged and sensitive. Ahil looked at his mother and she feeling helpless turned her gaze towards Hiya's brother and sister-in-law, awaiting her decision. _______ What do you think? What lesson will Ahil teach her ? "What's going on in Ahil's mind ?

Shall we get started? Damien eased back in his chair; his smile expanded. "Of course. Can I offer you something to drink? Coffee, juice. perhaps a glass of wine?" Noah's heart pounded in her chest, a solid drumbeat against her ribs. She fought to dismiss the nervous flutter of her stomach. "No, thank you. Let's just get this over with," she said, her words short and sharp. She could feel his eyes on her, keen and probing, as if searching for chinks in her armor.

Chapter 12 "You're just going to pee, but you're holding your stomach? Does your stomach hurt?" I just laughed and pulled her towards the table since the boys were already seated one by one. "Never mind all the things you're noticing. Let's go before Clara beats us to the good seats when she comes back." I held her by the arm and pulled her away from where we were standing.
