Chance has been her constant visitor over the months that she was pregnant–and even when she was giving birth, during that time that Chance visited her as well.
On that night, she gave birth to a baby girl, whom she named Cara. Though she wanted to erase Callum from their lives, at least, despite not bringing his surname, Ciara wanted to mix Callum’s name into hers.
Ca is Callum’s first syllable, and ra is the last syllable of her name.
She was hurt and she probably has so many bad memories with Calum now but for some reason, something inside of her eels the need to make some connection between her child and her father at least, even if Callum doesn’t know about her.
“I think heaven really heard my prayer to let Ciara’s child inherit all of her. She’s literally having a baby girl, Chance said while he was holding the baby.
It wasn’t just Chance who was there, but the entire Sullivan household, as they immediately went to her private room at the hospital where she gave birth,
Chance handed the sleeping baby to Mr. Sullivan, who was stretching his lips as he looked at his granddaughter.
“My little angel,” he said in a soft voice.
“She looked like Ciara, sweetheart,” Mrs. Sullivan said with a smile on her lips while watching it as well. “Oh, I suddenly remember her when she was a baby,”
“So the little brat of the Sullivan is finally having her own baby too,” Louis commented.
Chance laughed. “Oh, Ciara wasn’t that spoiled brat compared to Serra,” he dissed.
“Shut up, asshole. You owe me why you’ve found out she’s having a baby,” Serra hissed.
Ciara was in awe watching her family welcome the baby with no hint of abandonment, unlike what Callum did to her when she was pregnant
“Are you planning to stay here even more in Paris, Ciara?” Mr. Sullivan asked when Serra slowly took the sleeping Cara in his arms so she could carry it as well.
Ciara’s eyes followed how Serra walked toward Louis and showed it as Louis silently looked at his nephew. He Was the coldhearted man seemed whipped for the baby.
“I’m having fun here in Paris, Dad”

She remembered the land business she started, all because she was invested in building another life. But
at now that Callum isn’t in her life anymore, her mind is starting to think about other things.
“But I might be interested in trying the family business once Cara turns four or five. I might start working,” she said
Louis and Chance glanced at her. They were stunned that she had finally thought about the family business.
Ciara was never forced to handle anything within the company as she was the youngest. She can live in luxury without even lifting a finger.
“Well, that’s good to hear! You have a nice position in the company. Mr. Sullivan smiled enthusiastically and looked at his wife, who also smiled,
“Take your time. You should be resting for now. Just focus on your baby for a while. She needs your full attention,” Mrs.

“Hmm?”
“What happened to my king? What happened to the queen’s king?” She tilted her head and looked at her with curiosity.
“Have you remembered the bad witch?”
She nodded with a fearful expression on her face.
“The King and the Queen have met a problem like the witch too. That’s why they parted ways. As the King, he cannot continue the role of being a king to the Queen for which he left his throne.”
Cara’s shoulder loosened. “The King has no choice because the witches are bad and they have powers, Mommy.”
Ciara smiled and caressed her cheek. “Yes. Like that. And it wasn’t the princess‘ fault that the king left or that the king wasn’t in the castle. Because there are things that cannot be controlled by us because they are more powerful–like the witch.”
“I know that it will have a happy ending. The King will fight the witch, and he will go back to the castle.”
“Well, yes. It could happen, too. But if the King doesn’t come back, are you going to get sad?”
Cara silently looked at her mother. She was processing it in her mind as if she were trying to picture out the story she was inventing.
“If the Queen is sad, I hope he comes back. Because if the queen is sad, the princess is sad too. If the queen is happy, the princess is happy too.”
Ciara froze a bit. She didn’t expect an answer from her daughter.
“If the Queen is happy without the King, just like Mommy said that there are castles with no King–just a Queen, then the princess is happy. She has a happy family because Mommy is happy.”
Ciara was teary–eyed. Despite being abandoned by Callum, she felt like she had finally found someone who would never abandon her, no matter what happened.
“The princess will stay at the castle with the queen, Mommy,” Cara said in her little voice like she had promised she wouldn’t ever leave her, no matter what.
Though her love for Callum didn’t flourish, at least she was able to have her princess with her now.
