My heart skipped a beat. What Ivonne had said was indeed a touchy subject for Derek.I remembered very well how hard I managed to keep my babies back then. If Derek went off the rails again, I wasn't sure if I would be able to handle it.Derek glared at Ivonne fiercely. "Shut up."She snorted, "You're gonna be tricked by her if you don't listen to me." Though saying so, she didn't dare to upset him again. After all, she was no fool.Just then, a new item popped up on the auction block—a rose diamond necklace.Designed by Niko, a famous contemporary jeweler, it was part of a collection with a rose theme.The big screen showcased every angle and detail of that necklace's sparkle. I had been dozing off, yet seeing that, my eyes were wide open.Derek rarely saw me interested in any jewelry, so he quickly asked, "You like it?"I covered his mouth, snapping, "Shut up and listen. I wanna know the details."Derek looked h

Tabitha's POV"Tabitha, where are you going?" Derek rushed after me.Ivonne snorted in her seat, "Is she crazy or what?"I sprinted in front of the room next to me, panting. "I wanna see Klein."Klein's assistant recognized me and opened the door.I dashed inside.Klein was lounging on a leather couch, looking all calm. Hearing the sound, he turned to face me."It's been a while, Tabitha. Hi."I no longer cared about courtesy, just asking bluntly, "Klein, is that necklace your sister's?""Yes. I heard something belonging to her was up for auction today, so I came here to see if I could find any trace of her. Even if I couldn't, I still hated to see her birthday gift end up in someone else's hands."Sure enough, my theory was right. The dead woman was Klein's sister, whom he had been searching for all this time.Seeing the worn-out look on Klein's face, I couldn't bring myself to break such brutal news to him no matter what.

Tabitha's POVKlein's hands started to tremble when he heard the words "a dead woman."His face was already pale, and right now, it was simply ashen."Are you sure?" he asked."Yes. The studs were big and beautiful, and the clothes she was wearing were from luxury brands. Oh, and she had this stunning collectible sapphire ring on her finger."Seeing Klein's expression getting worse by the second, I quickly tried to reassure him, "It wasn't necessarily your sister. Who knows? Maybe someone had her jewelry. It may not be as bad as you think."Klein was glued to his phone, ignoring me completely.I noticed his fingers were trembling uncontrollably as he swiped frantically on the screen until he finally stopped on a photo."Is this the ring you saw?"The picture showed the ring clearly—the sapphire was as clear as the sky, with exquisite craftsmanship and noble style."Yes. When I saw the corpse, it had already been soaked in the w

Derek's POV The helicopter landed on a wide platform, and the moment I stepped out of the cabin, a wave of heat swept in from all directions. I turned to Tabitha, saying, "It's hot outside. How about you just wait in the helicopter?" "No," she insisted, standing her ground. So I had no choice but to help her out. Klein had gathered a whole crew too. With a stern face, he asked, a hint of fear in his voice, "Tabitha, where did you see the body?" She pondered for a while before pointing to a rundown boat, replying, "There. That was where I saw the body at that time, but it's been half a year, perhaps..." Before she could finish her words, Klein rushed towards the boat, ignoring his assistant's worried shout behind him, "Mr. Hartley, slow down. You shouldn't be running that fast!" But Klein just ignored it. It was understandable, though. After all, he had been searching for his sister for so long, and now he finally got a lead, but it could be li

Tabitha's POVAlthough Klein's family was internationally renowned, being in a foreign land definitely put some limits on what he could do.It wasn't as easy for him to get things done here in Seattle for him as it was for Derek.After agreeing to his request, Derek pulled some strings and quickly got professionals to start the autopsy.Meanwhile, Klein was just stuck in one position, his gaze drifting off to who-knows-where.I set a glass of lemonade in front of him and gently advised, "Klein, the results will be out soon. Don't stress. It's probably not what we're thinking. Just drink some water."Klein, snapping back to reality, replied in a hoarse voice, "Can you tell me again about the details of when you saw her?"I then carefully recounted the process of how I escaped onto the boat.When I got to the part about being in that filthy water with the body and seeing a school of fish swimming out of its eyes, both Derek and Klein's faces wen

Tabitha's POVI recalled the first time I felt the fetal movement during my first pregnancy. Back then, I was over the moon, like a kid on Christmas morning, just itching to share that joy with Derek.That day, I sent him a ton of voice messages and videos, but he didn't respond at all.When he finally came home that night, I ran up to him with a big smile and said, "Derek, the baby kicked me today, really. Come feel it!"At that time, I was only three months along, so my belly wasn't really showing yet.Yet he just shot me a cold glance and walked away.It felt like a bucket of ice water had been dumped over me, drenching me to the skin and leaving me chilled to the bone.At that moment, I realized not everyone got as hyped as I did about this stuff.So as the baby grew bigger and the kicks became more pronounced, I never told Derek even once.He was either out early and came home late or away from home for a long time. It was like he di

Derek's POVAfter consulting Kamp, I learned that pregnant women were very emotionally unstable.I knew Tabitha held a grudge against me, so I'd been staying away from her for several months, just to give her some space to focus on her pregnancy.Today's news about the female corpse seemed to really get to her, and she couldn't stop crying.I wiped away her tears with a warm towel and gently comforted her, "She was just a stranger, not your relative or something. You don't need to be upset or guilty. If she knew what you'd done for her, she would definitely be grateful. It was you who helped her leave that place and reunite with her family."She sniffled and mumbled, "It's probably because we share the same last name. Knowing that she was Klein's sister, I feel like losing someone close to me."As she said this, she seemed to realize how silly she sounded and shook her head with a resigned look. "I'm just being too sensitive. Don't worry. I'll tak

Derek's POVThe first thing Tabitha did when she woke up was jerk back, clutching her belly with her left hand she was facing some kind of danger.Seeing her instinctively freak out around me, I felt my heart shattered into a million pieces."Relax, Tabitha. I just ... wanna feel the fetal movements."Tabitha, however, didn't buy it at all. With a fierce look on her face, she hissed like a mother hen protecting her chicks, "Get out of here!""Okay, okay! Just chill, Tabitha. I'll leave right away."Just when I turned around, I heard her wince behind me.I stopped in my tracks and turned around, only to see her brows knitted, pain etched all over her face.I immediately rushed over and asked, "What's wrong? Did the pups kick you again? Just now, I felt like they were moving very frequently.""Ouch..." Tabitha held her belly, looking pale as a ghost.I totally freaked out."Don't worry. I'm calling Dr. Evans right now to give you

Derek's POVI walked to the courtyard and saw Alice Evans, the doctor, standing there, probably waiting for a hot minute. Noticing me, she walked up to me respectfully and whispered, "Alpha Derek, just now, I left something unsaid, worried that it might scare Tabitha. Can we talk about it now?""Follow me," I told her.Leo circled around in my mind, looking nervous.Once we were in a safe spot where Tabitha couldn't hear us, I spoke up again, "Is there something wrong with the pups?"I took out a cigarette but didn't light it, as the worry weighed me down."No, no, no, Alpha Derek, rest assured. The pups are safe for now. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. Tabitha has a history of hemorrhaging, and her endometrium is thin, so she's prone to miscarriage."Seeing that I remained silent, Alice continued, "Her emotional state is also an important factor. Alpha Derek, you must take good care of Tabitha and avoid upsetting her during her pregnancy. If

Third person's POVDerek didn't mock Leopold's current arrogance because he knew fate was fair. What was meant to happen would happen.Moreover, Derek had noticed that Leopold's feelings for Gloria were special—far more than just a casual lover, despite what he claimed.It didn't matter. Love had a way of humbling even the most stubborn people.As Leopold spoke, he glanced at the surveillance footage again. Gloria was sitting by the sea, staring at the ocean, her emotions much calmer than before.It seemed Derek's suggestion had been right. Gloria needed the company of friends and children to heal her inner wounds."My family situation isn't great right now. Let her stay on the island for three months, and then I'll bring her back."The incident with Gloria's miscarriage had infuriated Leopold. He'd acted impulsively for her sake, and her former fiancé was still in intensive care.The other family was also wealthy

Third person's POVDerek hadn't expected Kyrian to react so strongly. He'd only wanted Tabitha to know about Kyrian's existence, but he'd overlooked the fact that Kyrian was no longer a clueless toddler like his younger siblings.At this age, children understood everything and had developed their own complex emotions."I'm sorry."Derek carried Kyrian step by step back to the house. Kyrian was wrapped tightly in the military coat, while Derek was left exposed to the snow and wind.Although Kyrian had spent more time with Derek growing up, Derek had been chasing after Tabitha these past two years, and Kyrian rarely got to see his father.When Kyrian saw Derek covered in snow, his crying gradually subsided.He wasn't the only one hurting. Derek must have been suffering too.Kyrian sniffled softly, and Derek looked into his eyes, speaking earnestly, "I promise you, one day I'll bring Mom back, okay?"Kyrian's nose was red f

Third person's POVAs soon as Tabitha stepped out of the house, the biting winter wind hit her face like a knife, stinging her skin.Just as Derek had said, everything had been arranged."Tabitha, the helicopter is ready. You can leave now.""Thank you.""However, the helipad is a bit far. You'll need to walk there.""That's fine," Tabitha waved it off.Wrapped in a thick down jacket, she buried her face in the hood. She felt as though someone was watching her, but she didn't dare look back.She was afraid that if she turned around, she wouldn't be able to leave. In her heart, she kept repeating, Don't look back. Just keep walking.Behind the curtains, Derek held Kyrian, who was crying silently. Kyrian reached out toward the empty air, as if trying to grab the hem of Tabitha's coat."Dad, I don't want Mom to leave. Will she abandon me?""No, she loves you. How could she abandon you? She's just leaving for a

Third person's POVThough he was just a child and didn't fully understand what had happened between Tabitha and Derek, he knew one thing—he loved Tabitha and wanted her to be happy."If this makes you happy, I don't mind. I'm just scared... scared you'll leave me," Kyrian said, his voice trembling slightly."Silly boy, didn't I tell you? You and your siblings are my most precious treasures. I love you so much, and I'll visit you often," Tabitha said gently.Then, she noticed the cord around Kyrian's neck and gently pulled it out. It was the small lock she'd designed for him years ago."I made this for you. It's engraved with my hopes for you, 'May you grow up happy and healthy every day.'"Kyrian reached out his hand. "Mom, you can't lie to me. You have to come see me again."Their fingers hooked together in a pinky promise, and Tabitha smiled softly."Okay, I promise. When you're a little older, we'll live together, alri

Third person's POVIn such a short time, Kyrian had already figured out his place in Tabitha's heart. He knew exactly where her soft spots were and used his natural childlike tears as a "weapon" to try to keep her from leaving.Though this might not make Tabitha happy, she couldn't bring herself to refuse him.What parent could say no to a child crying for candy?Especially when that child was the one she owed so much to, the one she wanted to give the entire world to.But he didn't want the world. He just wanted Tabitha to stay."I..." Tabitha started to speak, but Kyrian cut her off."Mom, I love you so much, and you love me, and my siblings too. I already don't have a complete family. Do you want my siblings to grow up without a dad, only imagining what he looks like, envying other kids' happy families? Mom, haven't you heard? A happy, complete childhood can heal a person for life, but an incomplete one takes a lifetime to heal."

Third person's POV"Back then was back then. Now is now. But I promise you, no matter what happens, I'll always love you," Tabitha said softly, gently stroking Kyrian's head. Her hand brushed through his soft fur, the warmth of a mother's love flowing through her touch.Kyrian's voice was small, tinged with hope. "Mom, can you spare a little love for Dad? He's actually kind of pitiful."His eyes showed sympathy for Derek. In his heart, both his parents were his greatest loves, and he longed for a complete family."There are plenty of people in this world who love your dad. He doesn't need mine," Tabitha replied, her tone carrying a hint of stubbornness. Despite her lingering feelings for Derek, the pain of the past made it hard for her to forgive."But to Dad, you're like oxygen to a fish. A fish can't live without oxygen," Kyrian said, snuggling closer to Tabitha.He pressed his body against hers, as if clinging to her love would make it st

Third person's POVKyrian obediently climbed over and was immediately pulled into Tabitha's embrace.From here, they could see the beautiful scenery outside. Kyrian realized that the training grounds looked completely different from this angle—probably because his mother was by his side.Tabitha smiled softly, her voice warm. "I chose your name. You were born with all my love.""Mom, you must have loved Dad a lot back then," Kyrian said, looking up with curious eyes."Yes, very much," Tabitha admitted honestly. "No matter how I feel about your dad now, you are my precious child, born after seven months of carrying you. Your dad took you away, and I didn't even know you existed. That's why I missed so many years of your life. But you need to know, I thought about you every single day. There wasn't a moment when I didn't miss you or wonder about you. I love you more than anyone in the world."Kyrian's mood brightened, a happy smile sprea

Third person's POVKyrian watched nervously as Tabitha cleaned and dressed his wounds.He didn't dare breathe too loudly, his eyes glued to her every move. His gaze was filled with dependence and longing.Every now and then, he'd glance quickly at Derek, his eyes questioning, desperate for reassurance that this wasn't a dream."Dad, is Mom really back?" His voice trembled, carrying the fragility and hope unique to a child.Derek reached out and gently tapped his nose. "Silly boy, she's really here."Kyrian's tense body relaxed slightly, and a shy smile crept onto his face.When Tabitha applied the ointment a little too firmly, he winced but stayed silent.His hands gripped the hem of his shirt, his knuckles turning white from the pressure. He was afraid that if he cried out in pain, Tabitha might leave.In his heart, he thought, As long as Mom stays, this pain is nothing.Kyrian had always been well-behaved, but n

Third person's POVAzazel was furious.To be honest, he hadn't planned to take things this far with Kyrian.He showed Kyrian some respect, but deep down, he knew most of the children here were orphans with no one to rely on.He'd been provoking Kyrian because he refused to fall in line. After all this time, Kyrian still wouldn't listen to him.Azazel had wanted to teach him a lesson and assert his dominance in front of the others.But Kyrian was tougher than he'd expected. Instead of backing down, he even fought back with a fierce determination that burned in his eyes.What's wrong with him? Why won't he give up?"You're dead, brat," Azazel snarled, raising his fist to deliver a crushing blow to Kyrian's head."Stop!"Kyrian closed his eyes, bracing for the impact his small body couldn't possibly withstand. But the blow never came.A hand shot out, gripping Azazel's wrist.Everyone turned to see Tabitha, breathless from running.Thankfully, she'd made it in time.What she didn't know
