ELENA'S POV Today, we are gathered here to unite two hearts whose love has stood the test of time,Grace and Mr. Hudson," the priest began warmly.A smile stayed on my face as I looked at Grace and Mr. Hudson standing before the altar. Grace looked stunning in her flowing white gown, while Mr. Hudson looked handsome in his black suit.Jane wasn't there. She hadn't been invited, which was understandable, even though everything between them had been settled peacefully. Sophie, however, was present. Now that her mother had encouraged her to make peace, she had chosen forgiveness. She had arrived a few days earlier to spend time with her father, and to my surprise, she had been kind to me too. She even brought gifts for the triplets, who could arrive at any moment.Sophie sat right behind Adrian and me, barely containing her excitement.This is the most beautiful wedding I've ever attended," she whispered, though loudly enough for us to hear.Adrian glanced back at her with a grin. "Then

ELENA'S POV I sat on the patio, quietly reflecting on everything that had happened. This time, though, my heart wasn't weighed down by anger, bitterness, or sadness.So much has changed since Tessa came here and hugged me. She admitted how deeply hurt and betrayed she had felt, but after taking time to think things through—and after many conversations with Grace—she finally accepted that her brother had deceived her for years. While she had worked tirelessly to build an honest life, Noah had chosen a criminal path, and she knew he would have to answer for his actions. Talking with her also helped me come to terms with Zach and the rest of my family.The trial had taken place three days earlier. I couldn't attend because my due date was fast approaching, and deep down, I wasn't ready to see Zach's face and relive all the pain again. The drug lord, his men, and Noah were all sentenced to life imprisonment without parole for murder and drug trafficking, while Zach received twenty years

ELENA'S POV Everything was happening so fast that I could barely keep up. Adrian's sudden return and his determination to win back my love and forgiveness left me completely overwhelmed.It had been over a week since Adrian moved in with Mr. Hudson and Grace, yet he hadn't stopped trying.At first, I thought he would soon give up and run back to his company like he always did. But I was wrong. Day after day, Adrian kept proving through both his words and actions that he was genuinely sorry. I continued giving him the cold shoulder, but he never backed down. Every morning, fresh flowers and a handwritten note arrived for me. He insisted he wasn't trying to buy my forgiveness. He knew I wasn't that kind of woman. To him, the flowers were simply his way of reminding me that his love was real, which was why he never attached expensive gifts.I also couldn't ignore the effort he was making to rebuild his relationship with Mr. Hudson. Whenever he wasn't trying to win me over, he was with h

ADRIAN'S POV Adrian realized that his father's house wasn't anywhere near as grand as the mansion he had grown up in, but it had a warmth and comfort that instantly made it feel like home.The moment he stepped inside, a strange sense of peace settled over him, something he hadn't felt in a very long time."I'll show you to your room," Grace said, leading Adrian to the room next to the one Elena was staying in.As soon as they walked in, Adrian looked around with quiet admiration. The room was simple, neat, and welcoming.Thank you, Grace," he said sincerely."I'm going to make some pasta, and we'll all have dinner together. You should use this time to freshen up and get some rest," Grace replied with a smile.She had barely reached the door when Adrian called after her.Do you think she'll ever forgive me... or even speak to me again?" he asked quietly.Ever since Mr. Hudson introduced him as the extra passenger, Elena had completely withdrawn. She had flatly refused to sit beside A

ELENA'S POV Jacinta and I rushed to the airport. After everything she had told me, I couldn't shake the fear that Danielle might somehow find out I was back in the city and come after me. I was heavily pregnant, and if anything happened, I wasn't in any condition to fight back or protect myself."I am coming with you, and I'll wait until your employers arrive," Jacinta insisted when I tried to convince her to stay behind. "If anything happens, I don't want you facing her alone."It wasn't until we arrived safely at the airport that I finally relaxed a little. Although I had wanted Jacinta to return home earlier, I was glad she stayed with me. We found a safe place to sit where the police officers constantly walked around on patrol."Should I get you something from the cafeteria?" Jacinta asked after noticing how exhausted I looked.No, I'm fine," I replied. "I was just scared and anxious. Once I rest for a few minutes, I'll be okay."We fell silent for a while, and I used the time to

ADRIAN'S POV Adrian drove home like a man possessed. He could hardly wait to confront Jane over everything he had just learned. Rage burned through him, making it almost impossible to think straight.For years, she had lied to both him and Sophie, turning them against their own father. Worse still, they had grown up without a father's love because of her selfishness and greed. In Adrian's eyes, Jane was no different from Danielle. They were cut from the same cloth, and now he finally understood why she had always favored Danielle over Elena. As far as he was concerned, people like them always found each other.Damn... I was such a fool," Adrian muttered bitterly. "I let Danielle, my mother, and the company come between Elena and me."What he had witnessed between Mr. Hudson and Grace was exactly the kind of life he wanted: a love built on loyalty, friendship, and true companionship. He didn't want to wait until old age to have that. He had once shared it with Elena, but he had thrown

*SIENNA*Are you saying that you don't want more kids, or Alexander doesn't want it?" Clara asked again."I don't know what he thinks, but I don't want it. I don't want to have a baby anymore," I replied.Sienna, have you discussed with Alexander whether to have a child or not? If this is the idea of the two of you, of course, it's okay. But I feel that it's your own idea. You like children so much. Didn't you want to have two more children in the past?"I was a little helpless. "I don't want to have any more children before I get married."Clara frowned and asked, "Does Alexander not want to marry you?"I shook my head.Clara stood up and asked impatiently, What does he want to do? " Why doesn't he want to marry you?”"The most important thing is that you obviously want to get married. He also loves you. Why can't you get married?And why doesn't he want to get married? Is it because he doesn't want to take the responsibility of getting married? Or is it because of something else?"Cl

*SIENNA*This time, Elena was very obedient. She accompanied me to sit on the row chair and look at the scenery in the distance. She didn't make a fuss about going to the slide or running around. Instead, she accompanied me obediently.Looking at the setting sun in the distance, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart."Daddy! Daddy!"At this time, Elena suddenly reached out and pointed to the distance, shouting.I looked up and saw a man in a black suit walking towards me.I quickly touched my eyes, hoping that he wouldn't be able to tell that I had just cried.As he approached, I stood up.Alexander walked straight to the row chair, picked Elena up, and then looked at me."Are you and the children okay?"Hearing this, I nodded. "Yes.” He looked at me carefully and went forward to touch my cheek. Frowning, he asked, "Why are your eyes red?""Oh, there was sand in it just now," I said."The wind has been a little strong these last two days, "said Alexander. Then he put his arm ar

*SIENNA*"You're back? Dinner will be ready soon." I, who was sitting in the living room playing with the children, said to Alexander with a smile.He put down the briefcase in his hand, walked over, and touched Elvis and Elena's heads. Then he said eagerly, "I have something to do in New York. Please help me pack some clothes."Hearing this, I couldn't help but frown and ask, "It's getting dark. It's not safe for you to travel on the road for a few hours. Why don't you leave early tomorrow morning?""No, I'm in a hurry to go back." He insisted."Why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen?" I looked at his face carefully and felt that something big had happened.However, Alexander denied it. "It's nothing serious. My mother came back from her vacation in Canada. She's not feeling well, and we haven't seen each other for a long time. I'll go and see her."Hearing this, I nodded and didn't say anything more. I went upstairs to pack his clothes,I put a few new clothes and daily n

*SIENNA*It seemed that he liked to tease me now, as if he liked to see me blush.While I was smiling, a man suddenly poked his head into the kitchen."Hey, why are you smirking?" Alexander suddenly came back.I immediately stopped smiling.He laughed. "Give me a bowl of soup. I'll go wash up first.""Got it!" I shouted loudly.This time, after making sure that he was really gone, I smiled again. Then I filled a bowl of soup and put it on the table.I held my chin and looked at the soup in front of me, waiting for him to come back obediently...At noon, Clara asked me out for a simple meal. In the clean fast food restaurant, Clara and I are while chattingShe said happily, "The stock you told me to buy last time has increased by more than 10 percent. I invested some dollars and made a profit of 5,000!""Don't spend too much money even if you have earned money. Save some money for your future," I said with a smile."I got it. What about you? How have you been recently?" Clara asked."I

*ALEXANDER*"Alexander, I... I am... leaving, take... good care of yourself..." After saying this,Kate could not speak. A string of tears flowed out of her eyes, and then she closed her eyes."Kate..." Alexander called in a low voice, but the person lying in the hospital bed could no longer hear him.He was very sad, and his hands were still tightly holding Kate's hands.I knew that someone passing away just like this had an impact on anyone. What's more, they were once in love with each other. Although Alexander hated her very much in the past, those things were not important now.I silently left the ward, wanting to leave some space for Alexander to adjust his mood.A few minutes later, Alexander walked out of the ward with a sad face. At this time, Brad had already called the people who were in charge of the funeral. Several people went in and began to put on clothes and make up for her.Alexander turned around and sat on the row of chairs in the corridor. Seeing his sad look, I fe

*SIENNA*"Your daddy has something to attend to. He'll probably be back very late," I replied.Elvis nodded and said, "Oh, what is daddy busy with? Can we help him?"Hearing this, I pursed my lips and smiled."We can't help daddy with his work. Be a good boy. Go wash up quickly and then go to bed. Do you understand?""Got it."Elvis was very obedient. He nodded and went to the bathroom to wash up.Looking at the back of Elvis, I was very gratified.What Elvis said just now also made my heart a little unsettled. Alexander and I had long become one. No matter what happened in the future, we would face together.We should also face the matter of Kate together.I thought about it for a long time and finally decided to take one last look at Kate.Thinking of this, I immediately took out my cell phone and dialed Alexander's cell phone number.After the phone was connected, a deep voice came from the other end of the line. "What's the matter?""I... I want to see her," I stammered.Upon hear

Sophia’s POV“Gosh I’m so exhausted” I broke the silence between us again”The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, spilling golden light into the penthouse suite. Everything inside gleamed.. the marble floors, the glass walls, and the island lights that shimmered like a thousand unspoken promise.Xavier strode ahead of me, his suit jacket hanging over one arm, his shirt sleeves rolled to the elbow. He was the definition of hot daddy control even when he wasn’t trying to be.“Your room’s to the left,” he said with a calm clipped voice, like this was just another normal business trip and not some kind of unspoken test of sanity between us.I nodded, clutching my small bag tighter than necessary. “Right, Left.. Got it.”His lips twitched like he wanted to say something, but he didn’t instead he just adjusted his cufflink.. another one of those gestures he used when he didn’t want me to see through him.“Conference room’s just past that hallway we passed,” he added, eyes flickin

Xavier’s POVThe hum of the engines filled the cabin when I came back from the cockpit.I was about to go through three hours of turbulence, and none of it had anything to do with the sky.Sophia was quiet when I got back.Too quiet.She was curled against the window seat, her head was tilted slightly with hair spilling over her shoulder. The late morning sun that came through the jet’s narrow window and painted her skin in gold while the wine glass on the table was half-empty, the bottle uncorked.“Sophia?” I called out.No answer.I set the tablet down and took a step closer.Her silence was wrong.. She was never this quiet.“Sophia,” I said again, firmer this time.Still nothing.A tiny wave of unease threaded through my chest. My mind ran through the possibilities.. had she fallen asleep? Drunk too much? The thought of her unresponsive made something cold twist in me.I crossed the aisle and crouched slightly, studying her face. Her lashes didn’t flutter and her lips were parted j

Sophia’s POVThe car literally smelled like leather, new car spray and silence.Xavier hadn’t said a word since we left the mansion. His jaw was locked while his eyes were hidden behind those dark aviators he wore when he didn’t want to be read. Which was literally.. always.I sat a few inches away from him, with my arms crossed, while pretending not to notice the tension vibrating between us like static electricity. Every time the car hit a bump, our arms brushed, and the air thickened in a way I liked and enjoyed.I wanted to say something.. anything at all.. but my pride refused to be the first to break.Yet..“So…” I started, voice too casual, “do you make all your wards fly private when you are angry with them, or am I just special?”He didn’t look at me. “You talk too much.”I smiled faintly. “Yes I do and.. You like it.”“I tolerate it,” he said, turning his head just enough for me to catch the ghost of a smirk.Good, slowly but surely he was unraveling and I would finally u

Xavier’s POV She didn’t move when I told her to strip. “Strip now” I slowly commanded again. For a moment, I thought she might actually do it.. Her breath came in slow shallow huffs, while her eyes were locked on mine like she was daring me to cross the line we’d both been dancing around since the day she arrived. My control became strained, sharp and thin. One more breath, one more word, one more touch and I’d lose it. Then my phone rang. The loud sound cut through the air like a blade. I closed my eyes for half a second, exhaling a curse. “Don’t move,” I muttered, turning away as I picked it up. It was Sven, my personal assistant.. the only person who’d dare to call me twice in a row.. That meant there was trouble. I swiped the screen. “Talk.. make it quick.” “Sir, we’ve got a situation at the southern site,” Sven spoke quickly, his voice tense. “The shipment arrived damaged. Three containers, more than half of the containers missing..” “Impossible.. Utterly impossible

Sophia’s POVI stepped into the dining room and froze. Xavier was already there, watching me like he could see everything I was trying to hide.“Sleep well?” he asked, voice casual, but there was something in his tone.“Perfectly,” I replied, forcing a smile.He didn’t move his eyes away from me. “You look flushed.”My fork slipped. I caught it quickly. “Must be the weather.”He smirked slightly. “Or the dreams.”I tried to keep my voice steady. “I don’t dream about you.”He folded the paper slowly. “Good to know.”He gestured to the seat across from him. “Sit.”I sat, but I could feel his gaze drilling into me.“Anything you want to confess?”“No.” My voice was sharper than I wanted. “Why would I?”He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table. “Because I like confessions.”I looked away. “You should be careful what you wish for.”He chuckled quietly. “That depends on who’s confessing.”Breakfast was a silent battlefield. I escaped to the garden as soon as I could.A bench, a qu

Sophia’s POV Three days.That’s how long I was supposed to be confined to my room.But punishment doesn’t work the way Xavier thinks it does.Isolation? Silence? A room with a view of the ocean, soft sheets, and a bookshelf full of vintage poetry?That wasn’t punishment. It was preparation.Because the longer I sat in that gilded cage, the more I realized something terrifying.He didn’t just want control.He wanted submission and submission wasn’t in my blood.By the second day, I’d stopped pretending to read. The books blurred in front of me. My mind circled one thing over and over like a shark circling a drop of blood in open water.The office. The file. The photos.The way his voice changed when he said I belonged to him.I kept replaying the way he’d pinned me without touching me. The threat of something more in every word. The heat that surged inside me when he got close.And worse, how much I wanted more of it.That realization made me furious.So on the third night, I changed
