Chapter 353
The moment Selena lifted her tear-stained face and saw Charlotte and Logan standing in the doorway, her entire body lurched with panic so violently it looked as though her bones might snap from the force. Her breath caught in her throat and her vision blurred. Her bound hands trembled uncontrollably where they were chained in front of her and the metal cuffs clinked softly with each jerking movement.She staggered to her feet in a frantic rush, nearly slipping as her knees wobbled. She stumbled forward, desperation taking complete control of her steps.“Charlotte! Logan! Please—please don’t let them take me away!” she cried, her voice loud, shaking, and echoing harshly around the interrogation room. “I don’t want to go to prison. I don’t want to die in here. Please have mercy on me. I beg you both. I regret everything. I swear I regret everything!”Her legs buckled beneath her as though the weight of her guilt had physically crushed her. She collapsed to the cold tiled floor with

Charlotte’s voice cracked before the first tear even fell. It was as though the weight of the entire moment pressed down on her chest, crushing her from the inside out. Her heart throbbed painfully.She stepped forward shakily, one hand trembling as she held onto the edge of the cold metal table for balance. Her breath hitched as she tried to steady herself, but her emotions were spiraling too quickly to control.“Please… officer,” she whispered, her voice thin, strained. She swallowed hard, then tried again when her words broke in the middle. “Please show Selena mercy. She… she has changed. She’s turned a new leaf. I know she has.”Her insistence sounded hollow even to her own ears. She could hear the tremor in her voice and could feel the way her chest tightened with doubt. Her knees shook beneath her, threatening to give out. Her vision blurred around the edges, tears collecting faster than she could blink them away. The police officers standing before her exchanged a brief, q

“Listen,” the officer began, his voice calm but weighted with the kind of authority that came from decades of observing humanity at its worst. His hands remained clasped behind his back and his posture was disciplined and unwavering. “I’ve been in this profession for almost twenty-five years. I’ve met all kinds of people—victims, suspects, criminals, the innocent, the lost, the malicious.” He paused, letting the silence stretch long enough to make his experience feel like something tangible in the room. Then his gaze shifted and rested squarely on Charlotte.“And I’ll be honest with you, ma’am. Criminals like your sister… people who go to such extremes… they’re usually stone-hearted.”Charlotte flinched as though he had physically struck her. It wasn’t anger but pain, the kind that burrowed deep, twisting inside her chest. The officer’s words hit her like heavy stones, each one dragging her further into the harsh reality she didn’t want to confront.“She’s not a criminal,” she wh
Chapter 356
Charlotte’s hands trembled slightly as she looked at her twin, really looked at her—the same face, the same eyes, the same familiar outline of the girl she had grown up with. Yet everything about Selena felt different now, shadowed, worn, unpredictable. Still, Charlotte tried to steady her voice, keeping it gentle but firm.“Remember,” she said softly, “this is your chance to make things right. You need to prove that you want a new life… a better one. Not just for yourself, but for everyone you’ve hurt. Everyone who’s suffered because of you.”For a moment, Selena’s cold exterior cracked. She lowered her gaze, her lashes fluttering, and the faintest trace of gratitude appeared in her expression. “I… I understand,” Selena murmured. Her voice was barely above a whisper. “Thank you, Charlotte. Truly. I promise I’ll turn a new leaf. I won’t disappoint you again.”Charlotte nodded, though a part of her heart tightened. She wanted to believe. She desperately wanted her twin back— not th

The following day, Charlotte had barely walked five minutes down the sidewalk when a sudden bolt of pain stabbed through her lower abdomen. Her steps faltered. The cup of chamomile tea in her hand nearly slipped. She sucked in a sharp breath.Another pain followed—stronger, deeper, and unmistakably different from the harmless Braxton Hicks she had been experiencing for weeks.“Not today… please, not today…” Charlotte whispered, one hand gripping a street pole.She tried to steady her breathing, but the next contraction slammed through her so powerfully that her knees buckled. She crouched, clutching her belly as panic rushed through her.The baby was ready.Right now.Her phone nearly fell from her trembling fingers as she dialed her assistant.“Hello? Ma'am?” The voice of her assistant, Mia, came through immediately, sharp with concern.“I—I need you,” Charlotte gasped. The pain pulsed again and she winced loudly. “Mia, I think it’s time. The baby… the baby is coming.”“What?!” Mia
Chapter 358
St. Celestine Hospital was calm that night. Charlotte lay back on her pillow, exhausted but glowing with the quiet joy of motherhood. Her newborn daughter slept peacefully beside her in the cradle, wrapped warmly, the faint rise and fall of her tiny chest the most beautiful sight Charlotte had ever seen.She stroked the baby’s cheek with trembling fingers.“My little angel…” she whispered.Mia had stepped out to call Logan and update him on the birth, leaving the room silent and still.Charlotte let her eyes drift shut.But the peace lasted barely a minute.Because far down the hallway, by the elevator doors, the quiet evening shattered.With a sound like thunder.BANG!The first gunshot echoed through the hospital.Charlotte’s eyes flew open. For a moment, she thought she had imagined it. Hospitals didn’t have gunshots. Hospitals were safe places—clean, sterile, peaceful.Another shot.Then another.Then screams.Charlotte bolted upright, heart pounding violently against her ribs.

Logan had never driven so fast in his entire life.The moment he received the call that Charlotte had gone into labour, his whole world seemed to freeze. For a single stunned heartbeat, he stood rooted to the spot—half terrified, half ecstatic—as the news sank in. Then reality rushed back like a tidal wave. He snatched his car keys from the table, barked rapid-fire orders to his security detail, and sprinted toward the garage with a force fueled by pure adrenaline.As soon as the engine roared to life, he slammed his foot on the accelerator and tore down the road, weaving past cars with the controlled recklessness of a man whose heart was racing far ahead of him.Charlotte was having their baby. The thought repeated itself over and over in his head, almost rhythmic, almost dizzying.His child was here. The precious little life he had dreamed about for months.His heart thudded wildly with excitement, pounding hard enough to blur his vision.As the familiar structure of St. Celestine

At first, Logan refused to believe what the nurse had just said. His mind simply rejected the possibility, pushing it away as if denial alone could alter reality. His chest tightened painfully, squeezing his lungs until each breath felt like a thin, ragged thread being dragged through a needle. “No,” he muttered.It couldn’t be.This was a hospital—a place meant for safety, healing, and new beginnings. His wife had just delivered. His child was supposed to be sleeping peacefully beside her, tiny chest rising and falling in soft, fragile breaths. He was supposed to walk into that room and see two miracles—his wife alive and his newborn daughter resting in her cradle.Not this.Not… this nightmare.Logan didn’t wait for further explanation. He didn’t wait for the trembling cleaner or the panicked intern or anyone else to say another word. Every second felt like an eternity being ripped apart in slow motion.He sprinted.He bolted through the blood-smeared corridors, moving so fast t

The nurse in front of Logan tried to wriggle free from his iron grip. Her whole body trembled violently, her hands shaking so hard she could barely keep them raised in front of her. Her eyes, wide and glossy with fear, darted from Logan’s face to the floor, then back again, as if she were trapped between instinctive submission and the terror of what she had to say. She opened her mouth, stammering over her own breath.“I… I’m telling you… your baby… they took her…”For a moment, Logan didn’t breathe.His head spun slightly, a hollow ringing filling his ears as though someone had struck a massive bell inside his skull. He blinked rapidly, trying to force the nurse’s words into something sensible—something that didn’t rip apart the last fragile piece of sanity he was holding. Her voice seemed to drift in and out, like an echo from a distant tunnel.No. No, that couldn’t be right.He couldn’t understand how this could happen—not again, not twice. Not to him, not to Charlotte, not to
Chapter 362
Damien stood in the center of the dimly lit room, dressed in black from head to toe, his silhouette sharp and imposing against the flickering lights. The shadows danced behind him like restless spirits, but his expression remained cold and unreadable… until the door burst open with a violent thud that broke the silence. His men entered. They had followed Damien for years through every wicked plot, every calculated scheme, and every dark deed that clawed its way into his twisted legacy. They had seen him at his worst, and they still obeyed. This time, they carried Logan’s child. The infant’s tiny chest rose and fell in trembling patterns, oblivious to the evil it had been born into. The soft cloth around it fluttered as the men approached Damien. Damien’s lips slowly curved into a smile. Then laughter burst out of him, sharp and chilling, echoing off the walls with a manic brilliance. The sound filled the room like the triumphant roar of a man who believed he ha
