“I know about the pregnancy,” Mr. Greyson began, his tone calm yet deliberate as he stepped closer to Sophia. “I can take care of the child as if he were my grandson. All you need to do is marry my son, Alex. A guaranteed future for you and the Caldwell family is assured. Name it—anything you want, and it’s yours.”Sophia’s face twisted in anger, her hands trembling as she gripped the edges of the hospital bed. “Leave me alone,” she spat, her voice laced with fury. “That’s what I want. I don’t need your pity, and I don’t want your money. Just leave me in peace. I can’t marry an incomplete man like Alex.”Mr. Greyson’s expression darkened, his jaw tightening. “You should watch your mouth,” he said coldly. “But I’ll give you time to think this through. Don’t be rash, Sophia. This is the only way to save your family.” With that, he turned and left the room, his footsteps echoing ominously in the hallway.Sophia’s phone buzzed, interrupting her thoughts. She glanced at the screen, her hea

At midnight, Mr. Caldwell lay awake, staring into the darkness as heavy thoughts weighed on his mind. The stillness of the room amplified his inner turmoil. Olivia, his wife, had become a different person since their finances had crumbled. His home, once a place where his word held authority, now seemed to operate entirely under Olivia’s control.He let out a deep sigh, his thoughts drifting back to the early days when he had struggled tirelessly to build a future. Back then, humiliation had been a constant companion, but he had endured it, fueled by the dream of creating a stable, prosperous life. Now, those efforts seemed to have crumbled overnight, leaving him feeling powerless.Olivia stirred beside him, waking to see her husband lost in thought. “Honey, why aren’t you asleep yet?” she asked softly, sitting up and placing a hand gently on his arm.“It’s hard to sleep when my mind is full,” he replied, his voice heavy with emotion. “I can’t stop thinking about how everything fell a

Mr. Caldwell transferred the payment as soon as he received the funds, ensuring the hospital had the necessary deposit for his mother’s urgent surgery. Meanwhile, Olivia was in her bedroom, adjusting her dress in front of the mirror, preparing to meet him at the hospital. A soft knock at the door interrupted her. “Come in,” Olivia said, still facing the mirror. Sophia stepped inside, her gaze briefly scanning her mother’s outfit. “Mom, I need to talk to you about something,” she said hesitantly. Olivia glanced at her daughter. “What is it, Sophia? Can it wait? I need to get to the hospital to meet your dad.” Sophia froze, her expression shifting from casual curiosity to concern. “Hospital? What happened?” she asked, her voice laced with worry. Olivia sighed, her expression unreadable. “Your dad’s mother—your grandmother—is critically ill. He received an emergency call that she needs immediate surgery, and it costs $10 million to proceed. That’s why I need to go now.” Soph

Sophia sat on the edge of her bed, her thoughts spiraling deeper into turmoil. Another knock came at the door, jarring her from her reverie. She hesitated, but eventually managed to call out, “Come in.”Mr. Caldwell stepped into the room, his expression heavy with concern. “Sophia,” he began softly, “are you upset about what your mother and Lila are saying? I know you’re going through a lot, and honestly, all this is happening because of me—”“No, Dad,” Sophia interrupted firmly, her voice steady but tinged with emotion. “None of this is your fault. The blame lies with those who robbed us and smeared your name, plunging us into this mess. It’s not your fault this family faced such a tragedy.” She paused, drawing in a shaky breath. “If anyone’s to blame, it’s me—for trusting James and bringing him into our lives. But I swear, I’ll make things right again.”Her determination was palpable, though beneath it lay a profound exhaustion. She wanted to shield her father from her inner fragili

A few minutes later, the young man knocked gently on the door. “The car is ready, sir,” he announced from outside.Ethan stepped out with a sense of urgency. “Alright, let’s go,” he said, following the man outside. The moment his eyes fell on the sleek BMW prepared for him, he froze momentarily in astonishment. The luxury car gleamed under the sunlight, its polished surface reflecting the surrounding environment. A wave of excitement coursed through him as his imagination ran wild.So, this is what it feels like to sit at the back and ride like a boss. He couldn’t suppress the wide grin spreading across his face. Sophia will be stunned when she sees me stepping out of a car worth millions. Even those who once mocked me would be struck speechless with disbelief.As Ethan settled into the plush interior of the car, one of the security personnel jogged toward him, holding his bulletproof vest firmly in place. “Sir, would you like us to conduct a background check on Caldwell Horizon?
