Earlier that morning. Candace after leaving her father’s company.

In the car, her eyes were on the window but her mind was somewhere else entirely, turning over the contents of the file her father had handed her.

She tapped one finger slowly against her knee.

"Maybe I should go pay him a visit." She said to herself. "I might as well see his new wife while I'm at it."

She looked at the driver's reflection in the rearview mirror. She gave him an address.

He adjusted course without comment.

    Maya sat curled up on the sofa, her knees drawn tightly to her chest. After insisting she didn’t want to meet Damien, Jules had offered to drive her back to her apartment.She had refused not because she wanted to stay at his place but because she couldn’t bear the thought of being alone.She wore one of Jules’s oversized white shirts, the sleeves hanging far past her wrists. It smelled faintly of cedarwood, offering a strange sense of comfort she desperately needed.Her eyes remained fixed on the mug of hot chocolate sitting untouched on the coffee table.The drink had long since gone cold. A few moments later, Jules came from the kitchen carrying a fresh cup.He quietly picked up the cold one before replacing it with the new cup of hot chocolate.“The first one wasn’t doing you much good.”Maya managed a weak smile.“I’m not really hungry.”Jules looked at her.“I didn’t ask whether you were hungry. I’m asking you to drink it.”Without another word, Maya wrapped both hands around th

    A short drive later, Donald’s car stopped outside a cafe. Unlike the crowded restaurants downtown, this place was secluded.A waitress led them to a corner booth.Donald picked up the menu.“Would you like something?”“No.”“Coffee?”“No.”“You always liked their hot chocolate.”“I’m not here to eat.”He smiled sadly.“You answer exactly like your mother.”Elena’s patience was wearing thin. “My patience is running out. I am sure you didn’t bring me here to reminisce about the past.”Donald nodded. “No but I would still like you to eat something.”Without asking again, he looked toward the waitress.“One hot chocolate and one slice of lemon cheesecake.”He looked back at Elena.“I hope these are still your favorites.”She blinked.“You remember?”“I remember more than you think.”“How is your husband? I’m sorry I wasn’t able to attend the family dinner.”He looked at Elena’s face carefully, his smile slowly faded.“You don’t look well.”“I’m fine.”“You’ve lost weight.”“I’m tired.”“T

    When Elena left the hospital, she couldn’t bring herself to return home. She wasn’t ready to face Damien, not when she had to smile, pretend and lie that she was okay.Every conversation with him felt harder than the last. Every worried glance made the weight on her chest heavier.There was only one place she wanted to go, one place where she didn’t have to pretend.She stepped outside the hospital and hailed a taxi.The moment she settled into the back seat, her fingers tightly intertwined in her lap. Resting beside her was the small paper bag containing the medication Dr. Turner had prescribed as she had requested.She rested her head against the glass window.Dr. Turner’s words disturbed her.“Imagine what pain they’ll be in when you’re gone.”She slowly closed her eyes.“They will move on,” she whispered. “They have to.”Outside was bustling with people and so many activities but Elena felt her world had quietly stopped turning.The driver’s voice broke through her thoughts.“Wher

    Maya still remained in the same position, curled up on the couch, her face still buried deep in her cushion. Her shoulders were trembling.“I promised … I promise I will trust you.” The words came out as little more than a whisper.She had failed and followed Elena despite her pleadings and it had led to her listening to a conversation that had never been meant for her ears.The guilt gnawed relentlessly at her heart.Yet another thought hurt even more.If I stay quiet. What if she dies?The question echoed through her mind again and again until she thought it might drive her insane.“I can’t lose you…”Fresh tears spilled down her cheeks.With shaking hands, she unlocked her phone and opened her photo gallery.Her thumb stopped on a picture from Milan. The four of them stood in front of the Duomo.Elena was laughing freely, her smile brighter than the morning sun beside her, Damien wasn’t even looking at the camera. He was looking only at Elena.Maya stared at the photograph for a lo

    The taxi moved steadily through traffic, inside, Elena sat in silence.Her fingers were clasped tightly together in her lap, her knuckles nearly white from the pressure.She wasn’t paying attention to what was happening, her thoughts were somewhere else entirely.There was only one place she needed to be and only one person she needed to see.After what felt like an eternity, the taxi slowed to a stop.“We are here, ma’am.”Elena looked up, she stared at the hospital building in front of her. She had hoped that she wouldn’t have to come back yet here she was.She paid the driver before stepping onto the pavement.The automatic doors slid open, Elena approached the reception desk, one of the nurses looked up from her computer.She recognized Elena’s face immediately when she saw her.“Miss Morgan?”Elena offered an apologetic smile.“It’s been a while.”The nurse’s expression immediately changed from surprise to concern.“We have been trying to reach you.”“I know, I apologize for the

    After nearly thirteen hours in the air, the jet wheels met the runway. They were finally home.Inside the cabin, Maya was still curled up in her seat, fast asleep, her head resting awkwardly against the window.Across the aisle, Jules had only just opened his eyes.Elena was the next to stir, she covered her mouth as a quiet yawn escaped her lips before blinking away the last traces of sleep.Across from her, Damien had been awake for quite some time. A tablet rested on his lap, but he hadn’t turned a single page in several minutes instead his eyes kept drifting toward Elena.The instant he noticed she was awake, he placed the tablet aside.“How are you feeling?” He asked in concern.Elena stretched cautiously before offering him a reassuring smile.“Much better.”“Any dizziness?”She shook her head.“No.”“A headache?”“Not anymore.”Damien studied her face for a long moment, it was as though he was searching for signs that contradicted her words.“I mean it,” she said softly. “I’m o

    Elena made it to her car before the shaking started. She climbed into the driver’s seat and gripped the steering wheel so tightly her knuckles turned white, taking deep, shuddering breaths that did nothing to steady her racing heart.Victoria’s pregnancy announcement had struck her like a knife to

    “Elena?”Elena’s head snapped up. Standing at the bottom of the escalator, shopping bags from the hospital gift shop in her hands, was Victoria.Her stepsister’s eyes widened with surprise, then immediately narrowed with calculation as she took in Elena, the medical information packet clutched in h

    Back at the mansion, Elena finally stirred around noon. She blinked against the dim light filtering through her curtains, disoriented for a moment. Her body felt heavy.She reached for her phone immediately, and as the screen lit up, a calendar reminder flashed: Dr. Turner - 12:00 PM - Brain Tumor
