Nadine sobbed, her tiny fists clenched.Hazel's expression turned knowing, a hint of amusement dancing in her eyes. This was an all too familiar scene, a daily ritual between her three-year-old daughter and five-year-old son. "What did you do this time, Nadine?" Hazel asked, her voice laced with a mix of amusement and exasperation. "He took my hairpin, and I pinched him."

He hesitated for a moment, his gut telling him that this call was not going to be good news. With a sense of trepidation, he answered, his voice firm but cautious. "Hello?"The voice on the other end was cold, detached, and sent a chill down Noah's spine. "If you want your sister alive, come get her." The line went dead, leaving Noah staring at his phone in horror.His heart racing, he immediately dialed Maya's number, but it bounced back, a harsh reality hitting him like a ton of bricks.

Blaze couldn't help but wonder if he'd made a grave mistake by chasing Elisa away.As he walked back to his quarters, he couldn't shake off the feeling of regret that had been gnawing at him for months.

"How was your meeting with the Elders?" she asked, her voice dripping with sweetness.Blaze

There are a lot of irregularities and discrepancies that I'm still trying to make sense of."Elisa's expression turned stern. "Irregularities? What kind of irregularities?"Akira hesitated, her voice barely above a whisper. "It looks like... someone has been embezzling funds from the company. I'm not sure who or how, but the evidence is there."Elisa's eyes narrowed, her jaw clenched in anger. "I want to see the evidence. Now."Akira nodded hastily and scurried over to a nearby desk, where she began rummaging through a stack of papers. After a moment, she produced a thick folder filled with financial reports and handed it to Elisa.Elisa took the folder and began flipping through its contents, her eyes scanning the pages with a mixture of anger and disgust. As she read, her expression grew increasingly grim.Sudde

Chapter: Secrets In The ShadowRyker returned to the palace, but it wasn't a happy homecoming. The air was thick with tension as he stormed inside, his face twisted in anger. Emilia followed him, worried sick. She was afraid of his temper, but she had to know what was wrong."Ryker, please," she said, her voice shaking. "Where did you go? You disappeared without saying a word! I was so worried about you."Ryker turned around, his angry look making Emilia stop talking. "That's enough," he said sharply. "You're asking too many questions. I don't have to tell you anything." Emilia opened her mouth to say something, but Ryker stopped her with a wave of his hand. “I have better things to do than sharing words with you” he said and walked away, heading to his room, and left Emilia standing alone in the hallway, feeling shocked, sad, and hurt.Emilia's hands curled into fists, and tears welled up in her eyes.*Alpha Elisa walked towards the car convoy, accompanied by her trusted guard.

"Please, just leave me alone, Emilia," Ryker said dismissively, striding away. Emilia's face fell, hurt by his brusque tone. She hesitated, then followed him. "Ryker, wait! What's wrong? You're scaring me," Emilia called out. Ryker's pace quickened, his silence a stark contrast to Emilia's growing unease.

But Nadine barely noticed any of it.Her mind was stuck on Adrian.He had come again, just like before. He always did. And every time, it became harder to push him away.Across the room, Liam sat with Clara, happily folding paper boats out of napkins. His little hands moved with excitement as he held one up to show Clara, giggling at his creation.Nadine’s chest tightened.She wanted to keep Liam safe. She had spent years making sure he never felt the pain of missing a father he never knew. But now, Adrian was back, refusing to leave.Was she making the right choice by shutting him out?Did Liam deserve to know his father?A sigh pulled her out of her thoughts.“You’re going to rub a hole in that counter,” Clara said, raising an eyebrow.Nadine

Aunt Clara made a boat!” He held it up triumphantly.Nadine forced a smile. “That’s amazing, baby. Why don’t you help her make another one?”Liam’s laughter filled the room, momentarily easing her tension. But it didn’t last. The bell above the café door jingled, and Nadine instinctively looked up. Her heart sank when she saw Adrian walk in, Marcus following closely behind him.Adrian’s gaze scanned the café until it landed on her.

The marble floors gleamed under the sunlight, but Vanessa was too preoccupied to notice.Storming into the grand sitting room, she found Mr. Blake seated by the fireplace, an open ledger in hand.

He’s gone back to her.”The room fell silent, except for the faint tinkling of Mrs. Blake’s spoon against her porcelain teacup. Mr. Blake’s face hardened, his brows knitting together.“Back to Nadine?” he asked coldly.Vanessa nodded, her voice trembling with a mix of rage and

Chapter: The Struggle for TrustAdrian leaned back in the uncomfortable hospital chair, his eyes fixed on Liam’s sleeping form. The soft hum of the heart monitor was the only sound in the room. He had stayed the night, unable to leave after the blood transfusion. Seeing Liam like this reminded him of everything he had missed, everything he had lost—and everything he desperately wanted to fix.Adrian’s thoughts swirled, replaying the confrontation with Nadine. Her words stung more than he cared to admit. He had made mistakes—unforgivable ones—but could he ever make it right?The nurse entered quietly, checking Liam’s vitals.

Chapter: A Father’s PleaThe soft beeping of the monitors filled the hospital room as Nadine sat by Liam’s bedside, her hand resting gently on his small one. He looked so peaceful, his breathing steady, his pale face slowly regaining color. It was a relief after the harrowing hours they had just endured. But Nadine’s relief was fleeting, replaced by the storm brewing within her.Adrian stood at the other end of the room, watching them in silence. The sight of Liam lying there had shaken him to his core. Guilt clawed at him, but his heart swelled with a mix of awe and love. He had a son—a beautiful, resilient little boy.Nadine, sensing his gaze, stood abruptly and walked to the door. “We need to talk.”Adrian followed her into the hallway. The fluorescent lights overhead cast a harsh glow, but it couldn’t mask the tension between them.Nadine turned to face him, her expression cold.

He’s in the hospital,” Marcus said, his voice breaking slightly.Adrian’s heart stopped. “What happened? Is he okay?”“Not exactly,” Marcus replied. “He fainted at daycare, and now the doctors say he needs a blood transfusion. The problem is, his blood type is rare. Nadine’s isn’t a match, and she’s struggling to find a donor.”Adrian gripped the desk to steady himself. “I’ll be there before evening. Just… stay with them, Marcus. Don’t let them feel alone.”“I will,” Marcus assured him. “But Adrian… Nadine still doesn’t want to call you. She’s stubborn, you know that.”“I don’t care if she hates me,” Adrian said firmly. “Liam is my son. I’ll be there.”As Adrian hung up, he turned to find Vanessa standing in the doorway, her arms crossed and a skeptical look on her face.“Where are you going in such a hurry?” she asked, her to
