Chapter 1140
Elliana’s thoughts drifted to Donovan. Five years ago he had handed her the leadership of the Star Society, saying he wished to see the world. Then, just like that, he’d vanished.
At that time everyone else had dismissed her as a “useless, ugly duckling,” but Donovan had seen through her disguise. He had risked everything to sneak her out of the Jones estate, rescued her, trained her, and eventually entrusted her with his life’s work—the Star Society.
Every clue about Donovan felt like it pointed to a deeper connection with her mother. But what kind of bond was it? And when would he finally return to tell her the truth?
The thoughts tangled in her mind until they stirred a restlessness deep within her. The babies inside her seemed to sense it too, kicking and twisting as if sharing her unease.
Realizing this, Elliana closed her eyes and forced herself to breathe. Overthinking wouldn’t help. For now, all that mattered was bringing her babies safely into the world.
Days slipped by after Cole’s departure with no word from him.
Elliana was staying at Bolvern Hospital, a quiet and luxurious medical retreat nestled on Bolvern Hill. It was far removed from the city’s chaos, known for its calm and privacy, and usually reserved for the wealthy.
Cole had booked the entire facility and flown in his own team of doctors, making Elliana its only patient. Everyone there existed to serve and protect her. Milton had even moved in, ready to be at her side day and night.
After Cole left, Elliana tried to keep her mind clear. She followed her routines, ate on time, took gentle walks in the garden, and waited patiently for labor to begin.
A whole week passed—and still, there was no word from Cole, no sign of contractions.
Then, one afternoon, a strange package arrived at the hospital, addressed to both Elliana and Milton. No one knew where it had come from. A delivery worker had dropped it off and vanished without a trace.
Milton inspected it carefully for safety before opening it. Elliana watched closely, her heart beating faster with each second. Fresh chapters posted on find[?]ovel.net

Inside the box was a small glass vial filled with red liquid—blood.
At the sight of it, Elliana’s heart jolted violently. Panic surged through her chest, her breathing quickening despite her effort to stay calm. She knew she had to control herself or risk triggering labor too soon.
Her first thought was Cole. Had something bad happened to him? The fear hit her like a blow, stealing her breath.
When it came to the people she loved most, reason always lost out to emotion. Her stomach tightened in pain, and the babies reacted, moving restlessly in distress.
“Elliana, stay calm,” Milton said urgently, rushing to her side. “This is a trap. They want to shake you up, hoping something goes wrong before childbirth. Don’t fall for it.”
Acknowledging he was right, she took a deep breath and steadied herself. “There’s a note. Open it.”
