Chapter 207 DEMI The room is white. It isn’t hospital-white though, or sterile but simply… white in a very intentional way. The pale cream walls with muted art are almost too calming, as if silence had been painted into the canvas. A candle flickers in the corner, the kind that
Chapter 206 ASHAL Ashley doesn’t look the least bit shaken. If anything, he’s too composed, and that unsettles me more than watching him lose himself to emotional strains ever did. His laptop is open on the desk in this tiny, stripped-down office he shoved himself into after the demotion. Papers
Chapter 205 ASHER After the last of my suitcase is wheeled and deposited inside my suite, I tip the porter before shutting my door. With a long sigh, I take in the view of my room. It’s a little beneath my taste but I don’t mind. I’m not here to
Chapter 204 DEMI I spent the better part of my day scrolling through my phone, my thumb dragging across the screen. Photos. Messages. Call logs. A whole world and a whole life I don’t recognize. It’s insane how much a phone reveals about a person, but with every swipe or
Chapter 203 ASHTON The air goes still after Ashal drops the name. Nobody moves for the first two minutes. While he rambles on about how he came to find out, my blood curdles. The way I am feeling right now is exactly the same way I felt when Demi had
Chapter 202 ASHAL Skylar has been admiring an artwork in the presidential suite of our most expensive hotel while I sit in silence watching her, unsure how to kick off the tranche of questions floating in my head. “This is…nice.” She turns to me and folds her arms across her
Chapter 201 DEMI This has to be a dream. Seeing two of the Rollins quads at my aunt’s house and overhearing Kira say I walked out on my marriage felt like a bad dream. My legs wobbled while I snuck away through the backyard. I could NEVER marry into the
Chapter 200 ASHER Demi grits her teeth as she straightens in her seat. “Because his apartment was close to the clinic and I knew Anna might probably have been called early into work. I needed someone to help me with the bill without informing my aunt. I had to put
Chapter 199 ASHER Anna dashes out through the door the second I pull up at her house where she’s taken Demi. “Where is she p> “Inside. Can I talk to you guys for a sec?” She loops her arm in mine and steers me away from the house and back
Chapter 198 ALVA The sound of a car squealing down the road distracts me from my thoughts. I’ve got a lot on my mind lately but no matter how disconcerted it all seems, there’s a common thread; Demi Branson. A sigh of relief escapes my lips as the message I
Chapter 197 ASHAL Please Maddi, one more spoon p> Maddi shoves my hand away, tucks the duvet around herself and lays down with empty eyes fixated at the wall. Sighing, I put away the dishes and rub my hands together. “Hey, um, so I finally sold the penthouse. Yeah, to
Chapter 196 ASHER Keith is having a field day while I enquire about Skylar’s whereabout. I can’t believe she’s already managed to evade me shortly after claiming to be visiting Keith. “What do you mean you have nothing to say to me p> He throws a casual glance around his
Chapter 195 DEMI The world spins around me for a bit while I continue to stare at the Mac screen. Did I just see what I think I just saw? Goosebumps spread across my forearms at the sight of Ashton hovering at the door. A startled gasp quivers through my
Chapter 194 ASHLEY “What?” I snap, lunging to my feet. My eyes sizzle with anger. “What do you mean you’re hiring a manager to oversee MY company? You can’t do that p> “I can, Ashley, and I will.” Father replies bluntly as his eyes dart around my work space. I
Chapter 193 DEMI “How is he p> Ashton finishes signing the file Gris is holding open for him before looking up at me with his weary eyes. “Not too good. He’s still shaken up and multiple sessions with his therapist per week hasn’t proved helpful, yet.” He expels a long
Chapter 192 ASHAL For the first few seconds after the doctor speaks, all I hear is a high-pitched sound ringing in my ears. Gradually, my vision wavers, then blurs. Every sound fade and every movement around me slow to a crawl—nurses pacing, monitors beeping, mouths opening and closing with no
Chapter 191 ASHAL “Where have you been? I couldn’t reach you on phone.” Maddi snapped when I returned to the mansion and tried to sneak into my room at night. I didn’t expect her to be sitting in the dark, waiting for me. “You knew I’d be worried. I’m sure

Chapter 189 ASHTON “What?” Signaling with my hand, I hush Gris while he’s reading my schedule for the day and rise to move over to my glass window. Demi isn’t making much sense right now. “What do you mean you’re not coming for the sit-down? This is news to me
Chapter 188 ASHAL I’ve been having sleepless nights ever since Olivia begged me to give our relationship one more chance for the sake of our unborn baby. I wake up earlier than usual and spend hours on the treadmill, hoping to distract myself from the dilemma. I am yet to
