Chapter 277 “Hilliard! You will regret this!” she screamed as they steered her toward the door. “You are choosing a whore over your own blood!” “Cailin is my wife,” Hilliard said to the empty room. “And Elia is my blood. You are just the past.” In the Manhattan Detention Complex,
Chapter 276 The door opened again a moment later. A nurse walked in wearing a surgical mask and carrying a clipboard. The moment the door closed behind her, she pulled the mask down. It was Ashely. “How did you get past the guards?” Cailin asked, her shoulders dropping with relief.
Chapter 275 “You think that fixes it?” Cailin looked at him, eyes glassy with pain. “You brought her into our lives. You let her near my daughter. This is on you, Hilliard. All of it.” “I know,” he said softly. “I will spend the rest of my life making up

Chapter 273 She didn’t want to open it. She wanted to run. But the bathroom door was behind her and her legs had turned to lead. She ripped the curtain back. Empty. Just the white porcelain tub. A slow drip from the faucet. Plink. Plink. Charla let out a sob
Chapter 272 Midnight in a hospital is a unique kind of quiet. It is the silence of held breath. Charla couldn’t sleep. The VIP suite was luxurious — more hotel than hospital — but Hilliard’s words kept echoing in her head. Like ghosts are watching. She sat up and pressed
Chapter 271 BREAKING: Cailin Morton, ex-wife of Hilliard Holloway, has slipped into a deep coma following complications from surgery.

Chapter 156 When the laughter finally faded, Sienna gently pinched his cheek. “Alright then, Mr. Sweet Boy. What would you like to drink? Juice? Milk? Something else?” Skylar thought about it for exactly one second. “Ice cream.” Sienna stared at him in disbelief. “Young man, that isn’t a drink.” He
Chapter 155 “Aunty Sienna, I heard from Daddy that you’re going to be my mommy…” Skylar paused briefly before continuing. “Is that true?” Sienna smiled and returned to the seating area. The apartment suddenly felt warmer than before, perhaps because of the little boy sitting on the couch, or perhaps
Chapter 154 Zachary’s grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly as Skylar continued talking beside him, his small voice brimming with excitement and innocence.

Chapter 152 Jimmy had no intention of stopping. He continued to vent his frustration with his eldest brother. “She’s spent years cleaning up your mess. When you needed money, she helped. When people came looking for you, she handled them. When you were near death from your illness, she paid
Chapter 151 Sienna’s breath caught immediately. The meaning behind those words was impossible to misunderstand. Heat rushed to her face.

Chapter 150 “Sienna, with you, I feel like I’m in a different world from my dramatic world that is full of lies.” Zachary continued. “I feel comfortable around you.” Sienna found herself staring at him. She could tell he meant every word he spoke. That realization slowly warmed her chest.
Chapter 149 Immediately, Zachary turned slightly to look at her, and a smile tugged at his lips. “So,” he asked casually, “when are you moving into my house?” Sienna instantly sat upright again. She turned to face him fully. “Zach, can I move after we’re officially married?” A frown immediately

Chapter 146 Before either of them could say anything else, Logan’s voice suddenly interrupted the moment. “Sir, is there anything you need me to do?” Both Sienna and Zachary turned to look at him. Logan stood beside the dining table, waiting professionally for further instructions. “Yes,” Zachary answered firmly. “Leave
Chapter 145 After Ava and Riley finally left, the apartment became strangely quiet again. Sienna slowly walked toward her bedroom. But the silence did not last long. The moment she entered the room, a sudden buzzing sound broke through the quiet. Her attention immediately shifted to the study table, her
