LILIAN'S POVI had long since stopped asking what day it was. It was useless anyway.Time in here moved differently. It always felt like the days were too long and the nights were never ending. At first when I was moved in here I counted the time but soon enough, I gave up counting. There seemed to be no difference between night and day. The only time I saw light was when I was let out to use the filthy lavatory in the hallway.I missed the life I had before I was thrust in here. The smell of overpriced luxury bags and designer clothes, the overly expensive food and cars. I missed it all. I never knew food was a luxury, a privilege that could be taken away. On my first night. I was served a watery and tasteless bean porridge. I had raged and cursed but nobody glanced my way twice. I was left to my own devices.I didn't touch the food or any of the other vile things they served me. But by the third day, I gave in. The food was so bad I almost puked it all out but I forced myself to kee

Adrian's POVMy plans were yielding results slowly but surely. I was laying on the bed with my eyes closed, I was at my own house and I was alone, exactly how I liked it. There was not a single sound, it was just me and my thoughts.Whenever I wasn't with Hilda or at my company. I was usually home alone, I detested Hilda and it took everything to not show my disgust whenever I was with her. Staying home was like recharging after staying hours with her.She was so gullible, too damn naive and stupid. The combination was to my benefit as I could manipulate her however I wanted. I played her like a harp and she had no idea.She was just like the rest of them, spoilt brats born with golden spoons. Children who never had to worry about food or money for a day. Living carefree and bullying the lesser privileged kids.I opened my eyes, staring up at the ceiling, a faint smile formed on my lips. The punch Wilson had thrown replayed in my head, not the pain I felt but the look on his face afte

HILDA'S POVI was having a bad day. I was already late for a meeting and all the four clothes I had tried on this morning were suddenly too tight. I had even ripped my favourite dress trying to force myself into it. It was a complete shit show.After minutes of cursing under my breath, I finally threw on a pair of baggy shirts and pants.On my way to work, I almost hit someone's car and the cops stopped me for a 20 minute lecture.I was fuming by the time I got to work, only to get stuck on the elevator for 30 minutes. When I finally got off the elevator, I saw Anne standing and waiting for me with a cup of coffee.“Good morning, ma'am. I have your coffee right here,” she said as she speed walked behind me.Echoes of good morning ma'am filled the hallway and I nodded as I walked.“Good morning, Anne. What's up with the meeting? They haven't begun yet, right?” I asked.We were already inside my office and I was dropping my bags on the table. I turned towards her, taking the cup of“Abo

HILDA'S POV“Could you be….. pregnant?” Cierra asked with furrowed brows.“Pregnant? I don't think I'm pregnant Cici. It's probably something else,” I said, my mind refusing to agree with outrageous thoughts of being pregnant.“I know it sounds bizarre, but hear me out. You've been adding weight and you're eating selectively. And you vomited after you smelt pasta, your favourite food. It looks and sounds like pregnancy to me, Hilda and your boobs definitely got fuller,” she said as she took a seat on the edge of the bed looking at me.I ran a hand across my face,” Girl, I don't know. I would know if I was pregnant.”“When was the last time you had sex?” she asked.“About four, five months ago. It was the day I left Wilson,” I said as I stared at her.“Okay, did you guys use a condom, were you on the pill? Did you take plan b?”“Shoot, I wasn't on the pill because we weren't really having sex and that night was an anomaly. I was too disoriented to even get a plan b after I left him. My

HILDA'S POVThe very next day, we were in the hospital. After completing the needed procedures we were escorted to a room where the doctor would see us.I felt very nervous, my right leg was bouncing uncontrollably and I was fidgeting so bad.Cierra moved closer to me and rested her hand over mine.“Hey calm down, she or he is just going to confirm what we already know, alright?”I let out a small breath and nodded.A few minutes later, the doctor walked in, a woman in her late forties with calm gray eyes and a steady presence. She greeted us and glanced briefly at the file before looking at me.“So, we’re here to confirm a pregnancy?” she asked.“Yes,” I said.She nodded. “We’ll run a scan and see how far along you are.”My fingers tightened against the edge of the bed as she explained away about the process. I listened carefully as she spoke, wanting to get everything.“Go ahead and lie back,” she said.I did as I was told, adjusting myself on the bed. The paper beneath me crinkled

WILSON’S POVI had been pacing my room for the better part of an hour, the apartment was silent except for the faint hum of the air conditioner. I couldn’t sit still. I had spent the morning digging through files, emails, and receipts that my private investigator had sent me. I was trying to piece together everything Adrian had done.It wasn’t just about Hilda. He had orchestrated it all, from the gala, to the charity events, his constant presence at places he knew she’d be. He wanted her to see me as broken, as weak, as incapable of protecting the people I cared about. And he had. I could feel the weight of it every time I looked at her, every time I saw her smile around him.I ran my hands through my hair and sank onto the sofa. I wanted to call her, to tell her everything, but the words kept sticking in my throat. How could I make her see the truth without her thinking I was lying? She already didn’t trust me.How could she trust me now, when my cowardice had given her no reason to

Ch-47

HILDA’S POVI slumped onto the couch, letting the weight of the day settle on me. My head was still spinning from Wilson’s visit. He had stormed in like some kind of crusader, telling me Adrian had been manipulating everything and laying out some kind of grand plan. It sounded like something straight out of a movie. But I just couldn’t shake the doubt gnawing at me. It was just what I needed after finding out I was pregnant, I sighed. Fuck my life.Cierra sat across from me, arms crossed, her brow furrowed.“Hilda, this sounds shady as fuck. But you need to check it out. He could be lying and he could be telling the truth. You need someone outside of all this to tell you what’s really going on.”“I don’t know, Cici,” I said, rubbing my temples. “I feel like Wilson is just trying to sabotage me. My partnership, my deals… maybe even my trust in Adrian. That’s just him. I know it.”Cierra shook her head sharply.“No. It’s not just that. From what you told me, it doesn't seem like he's ly

HILDA’S POVThe sun had dipped low, painting the sky in soft streaks of orange and pink by the time I arrived at my nan’s house. I didn’t know why I had waited so long to come see her. Maybe because I was afraid of her reaction and I was afraid to tell her the news. But now, I had no choice. I needed her.My grandma was sitting on the porch in her rocking chair, her eyes closed as the setting rays of the sun shone on her face. The sound of the wooden chair creaking back and forth was comforting and familiar. It was like a little anchor pulling me away from the chaos in my mind.“Nan?” I said quietly, unsure if I even wanted her to see me yet.She looked up, her face breaking into a small smile that made my chest tighten. I felt so guilty.“Hilda, baby girl. Come here and sit.”I walked slowly over and took a seat on the step beside her, trying not to fidget too much. She turned towards me and took my hand, holding it with surprising warmth.“You look… tired and worried,” she said soft

Ch-49

HILDA'S POVMy heart was beating rapidly. It was finally the day Ethan would send in the findings from his investigations. The anxiety I felt multiplied as time passed. Ethan had told me that he would send in his findings to me by 12p.m. It was currently 11:45a.m. and I was fidgeting waiting for it.The entire morning, I had moped around the office, barely getting any work done. I never got any work done whenever I felt anxious. I was so conflicted, if Wilson had lied to me I would be heartbroken. If he had been telling the truth, I would still be heartbroken.I had stayed away from Adrian just like Ethan had asked, tossing out lies here and there on how I've got plans. I had also refused to let myself think of the possibility of Adrian being in my life all because he wanted to sabotage Wilson.In the few months I had known Adrian for, he had become a huge part of my life. We had not done anything remotely romantic but that still didn't change the fact that I was super attracted to hi

CIERRA’S POV“I'm so scared, Cici,” Hilda said as she stared at me.“It's okay, I'm here,” I said. “Do you want to open it?” I asked her.“You open it,” she muttered as she chewed on a pickle.I sighed and clicked on the file Ethan sent. Both our heads peered into the screen looking through the stuff Ethan had sent.And just as I had suspected, Wilson was right. I sighed knowing that this was a huge hit to my best friend. I turned to look at her.“Hey,” I said.She didn’t look at me. Her eyes were still fixed on the screen, scanning line after line like she was trying to find something that would contradict everything we were seeing.“Keep scrolling,” she said quietly.I did, there were photos first. Different locations and different days. Some even went way back to four years ago when she and Wilson were newlyweds. He was always at any event they were at. It couldn't even be excused as networking as he wasn't even wealthy enough to get invited to events of the calibre Wilson and Hild
