The doctor said everything looked fine, but once the pregnancy was confirmed, he loaded her up with supplements and folic acid.

Mason went out and bought every bottle on the list. Dawn glanced at the stack, then pushed it into the back of the cabinet without another word.

She took one day to rest before heading right back to work.

After her fallout with Marshall, most of his old loyalists left. Only a few new hires and the original veterans remained, which meant everyone had twice the work.

Dawn rubbed her temple. “Tell them if they get their main work done right, I’ll double their salaries.”

Nobody believed her at first.

But every night, she was the last to leave.

Anyone pulling overtime would find coffee or tea quietly delivered to their desk.

In Ithelia’s ruthless business scene, kindness like that was unheard of.

The longer it went on, the more people began to choose her side.

“Ms. Dawn.”

Mason stepped in, holding a folder. “Ms. Gina’s throwing a ball at her estate tonight. Rumors claim that the ball’s a pretext to pick her family’s main business partner for next quarter.”

Dawn took the folder and flipped it open.

Gina’s family carried real weight in Ithelia. Three generations of her family had built their fortune in luxury cars before shifting into high–end sports bikes, where they still dominated the field.

She looked up. “What do you think our odds are?”

Mason thought for a moment.

“Half and half.”

“Explain.”

“Ithelians like working with Aglar firms,” he said. “We’re known for being reliable, and Aglar’s growing fast. Our market reach is stronger than most developed countries. Plus, our factory’s craftsmanship is among the best in the world.”

The company had its share of chaos, but its reputation abroad was untouchable.

Dawn nodded slowly. “Then we’re going to the ball. When you meet Gina, pitch her exactly what you said to me.”

Mason blinked. “You want me to handle her?”

That was all the answer he needed. Dawn didn’t plan to skip the ball either.

She freshened up, changed, and joined Mason for the drive.

She didn’t expect Ethan to be there.

Gina’s family estate looked like a scene from a bygone century, grand and heavy with old- world charm.

Mason parked the car, got out, and opened the back door for her. He offered his hand.

Dawn stepped out in a white dress that hugged her waist just right. Her hair was pinned loosely behind her ear with a silver clip. The usual sharp edge in her style had softened, replaced by quiet grace.

At the entrance, she presented her invitation. The attendant checked it, nodded, and let them through.

The ballroom was overflowing, every corner packed with Ithelian faces.

When Dawn entered, the shift in the air was instant. Conversations stalled. Dozens of eyes turned toward her. Being one of the few Aglarians in the room made her stand out like a diamond under harsh light.

Some people whispered her name, passing along rumors about the Stonewarden heiress who had come all the way to Ithelia.

The low murmurs wrapped around her like an irritating hum. It pressed against her nerves until she almost wanted to snap.

Mason caught the faint tension in her brow and leaned closer. “Ms. Dawn, would you like to grab a bite?”

She shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Her gaze slid toward the far end of the hall.

There stood Gina Hall–the matriarch of the Hall family. If Dawn had to describe her in one word, it would be “formidable“.

Thirteen siblings, and she had fought her way to the throne alone.

Dawn had imagined someone sharp, maybe even severe. But Gina was nothing like that. She wore a flowing champagne gown, the fabric glimmering like liquid gold under the chandeliers. If she hadn’t spoken, she could have passed for a queen painted in an old portrait.

Dawn’s eyes caught the smooth curve of her neck, and she felt a flicker of satisfaction.

The gift she’d chosen couldn’t have been more perfect.

She walked over, posture poised, voice steady. “Ms. Gina, it’s a pleasure. I’m Dawn West.”

Gina turned toward her, and for a second, something like admiration flashed in her eyes. She leaned in and gave Dawn a soft kiss on both cheeks. “Dawn West. Of course I know you, the heiress of Stonewarden Group. I don’t often find women intriguing, but you’ve changed that.”

Dawn’s lips curved slightly. “Then I should take that as a rare compliment.”

She nodded toward Mason, who stepped forward with the gift bag.

“Maybe it’s coincidence,” Dawn said with an easy smile. “But I had a feeling you might have left your necklace at home. So I brought you something you might like.”

Inside lay an emerald diamond necklace, deep green stones glinting under the ballroom light.

It wasn’t the priciest thing in the world, but it carried a seven–figure tag and, more importantly, a rare sophistication.

Most gemstone jewelry tended to scream for attention.

This one whispered.

It looked as if it had been designed for Gina alone, the green stones setting off her pale skin, the curve of the chain drawing attention to her neck.

Gina stared at it, speechless for a moment. The piece shimmered in her hands, elegant and alive, more breathtaking than anything she owned.

“Oh, sweetheart,” she finally breathed, her voice full of awe. “You really do know how to make woman feel special.”

Dawn smiled, her tone warm. “I’m glad it suits you.”

“Suits me? I’m obsessed!” Gina laughed and pulled her into an embrace. “This is the I’ve had in years. But now you have to tell me–something this exquisite doesn’t jus out of nowhere. Do I have the honor of knowing the name of the designer?”
