CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE - I HATE YOU, CALEB KINGSTON
Cassy POVThe next morning, I heard a commotion from outside, prompting me to wake up. There was a shouting match, and the mention of my name forced me out of bed. I hurriedly padded through the floor and went to the window, drawing the drapes back to get a glimpse outside.My eyes widened when I saw my ex-husband calling out for me. He looked unkempt, unlike the usual pristinely groomed Caleb Kingston I know. “Cassy. I know you are here. Please, let us talk.” Desperation filled his voice. Adam’s friends held him back. There were four men, including my brother, and he was only one. I was surprised he came in alone. With his money and connections, I think he could have mobilized an army to face my brother’s wrath. But he didn’t.I sighed. Caleb Kingston could be stupid sometimes. Didn’t he realize that he was outnumbered? What if Adam's restraint slipped? Caleb would be black and blue after Adam was done with him. “Cassy. Please, let us talk!” “Will you cut it? I told you C

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE - CASSY'S CONDITION
Adam POVOnce the door closed on us, I let the anger inside me loose. It had been simmering inside me since we brought Cassy to the hospital. Now that Cassy was being attended to, I could no longer hold myself and vented on Caleb since he was the root cause of all this mess. When he turned around, my fist was already waiting for him. It contacted his face.I watched his face contort at the impact before skidding to the floor. He landed with a hard thud on the wall.Tory cried. Her mouth hung open in shock.Cole and Martin, on the other hand, acted quickly. They grabbed both of my arms to restrain me."What did you do to her, you b*stard!" I spat out, struggling from the grappling hold my friends had on me.The worry never left my face. I knew this b”astard must have said something to agitate Cassy.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR - STILL MARRIED
Caleb’s POV“We did procedural sedation on her to keep her calm. She was afraid and distressed earlier. She thought she would lose the babies, and it would not help in her condition. We are doing everything we can to save them.” Dr. Tony Richardson explained, but my eyes never ventured away from Cassy’s face.She looked so vulnerable and thin – paper thin – like a wind could blow her off.“And?” I asked.Tony seemed to know what I needed to ask but never dared to voice out because a sudden lump formed in my throat, blocking my vocal cords.He straightened from his seat, hands linked together, placing them on top of a retractable desk before pinning us with his penetrating gaze.

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN - FLOATING IN A LIMBO
Cassy POVAs I read the news about Caleb's trip outside the country with Amanda Hayes, everything suddenly fell into its right place.I called Tory, and she answered almost immediately.“Babe, how are you?” She was speaking aloud, giving me the idea that she was out of the studio and covering an event.Ignoring her question, I launched into questioning of my own. If there is anyone who can clarify this with me, it is Tory. She would not embellish the truth to caution its impact on my heart. To Tory, a spade is a spade.Besides, my concern is up her alley. "Is it true what the news said? Caleb Kingston left for another country with Amanda Hayes?" My voice trembled, but I quelled the nervousness inside.It was now or never.It's not that I do not trust Adam.

I was like the world fades and time stops.A knock sounded on the door before Tony poked his head in.I put my laptop aside and beckoned for Tony to come in.“You are late?”Tony smiled at my sulking tone.  “I had to tie up some loose ends in Glendale.

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE - BIRTHING PAINS
Cassy POVSpeechless, I could only hug Mom."I would rather keep to myself and concentrate on my babies,” I responded with blurry eyes.“I know.  You have always been self-sufficient. You do not need any man in your life. And the babies can always have your father, brother, and Tony as their father figures.”That made me cry harder, and my shoulders started to shake.
