It had been a long day for Ivan, and all he could think about was getting home and spending some time with his son, Carter.

As he unlocked the door to his apartment, he was surprised to find Auntie Bella, the nanny, waiting for him.

He hesitated for some seconds before lifting his head to look at her. He had not expected to run into her at such a time.

"It is late, Auntie Bella. What are you still doing here? Why didn't you sleep?" Ivan asked.

He understood that Bella was doing quite a lot of work. It would be good if she took enough rest.

"I wanted to make sure that Carter was okay. He refused to leave that room," Auntie Bella said. "He said that he is sleeping in Natalie's room tonight."

Ivan turned to look at the door of the house opposite where he was. And his eyes lingered there for a while.

"She seems to be a great lady," Auntie Bella continued speaking, a certain spark in her eyes. "She looks quite innocent."

Ivan's expression changed at the mention of that. Right now, he thoug

    Ivan was a bit silent as he stared at her. And she could not fathom his thoughts. However, she waited patiently. She did not care if it was going to kill her. The man was already helping her a lot! She could not rush him. She needed to be patient."You can go home tomorrow and check up on them," he said. But his voice was a bit off.

"You found them? Are they home already?" She asked."They will be home by morning," he said. But he was feeling sad for her.Natalie could not help it but rashly wrap her hands around him. "Thank you so much," she said, a tear falling from her eyes.Ivan hugged her and comforted her. "I am happy to help, okay? Just tell me if you need anything else.""Thank you again," Natalie said.

    ...In the car, they were all very silent, different thoughts going through their minds.Then suddenly, Carter, who was snuggled next to Natalie, looked up as if he had remembered something."Don?" He called. Of course, he was always using that name whenever he felt like it.Ivan, who was driving slightly, looked at him. "Mmh?""Can Natie be our Dona?" The child asked innocently. And Natalie, who was holding him, froze.Had they not finished talking about that yesterday?Ivan was also shocked by Carter's words. But the expression on his face remained calm, as he looked at the woman beside him in the car.The silence felt awkward, and Natie felt so guilty. She did not mean that Carter asked his dad about that. She just wanted him to stop talking about that!"Um... I..." She began speaking. She wanted to explain something even though she did not know what it was."She can be if she wants to!" Ivan said with a smile and held Natalie's eyes. He had just stopped at the traffic lights.For a

    Natalie's heart sank as she stepped out of the elevator and into the familiar hallway of her family's apartment building. Her steps were heavy, weighed down by the knowledge that her mother was gone. The memories of the attack still lingered in her mind, and the image of her mother lying lifeless on the floor was etched into her memory.As she walked towards her family's apartment, she noticed a crowd of people gathered outside. She could not help but wonder if the gathering had something to do with her family's tragedy. Her heart began to race, and she felt a sense of dread settle in the pit of her stomach.Approaching the crowd, she could see that some of them were looking at her, pointing in her direction. For a moment, she froze, unsure of what to do. But then she heard a familiar voice calling out to her, and she turned to see her brother, Scott."Brother?" she called out, her voice shaking with emotion.The other people in the crowd pointed towards her, and a woman she did not r

    Plans were made and the next day, people went to Mrs Shine's burial. But Natalie was not herself. She still felt the sadness, the loss.Her family was gathered together at the cemetery, all dressed in black and quietly weeping. The mood was heavy and suffocating, with a sense of finality and loss hanging over everyone.Natalie stood at the back of the crowd, her eyes red and puffy from crying. She could not believe that her mother was really gone. It felt like a terrible nightmare that she could not wake up from. She tried to hold back her tears, but they flowed freely down her cheeks, staining her black dress.As the casket was slowly lowered deep into the ground, Natalie's grief boiled over. She let out a guttural scream, loud enough to make everyone turn and look at her. Her family tried to calm her down, but she fought against them, thrashing and crying out in agony. She did not want to let go of her mother. It was too painful to imagine life without her.The funeral director tri

He knocked on the door, and Mr Shine answered.He was Logan after all and he was not scared of anything. And he had studied Mr Shine over the years, he knew very well that he would not be chased out.Mr Shine slightly opened the door and was surprised to see Logan. It had been a few days since they talked. And more, so many things happened in those two days."Logan, it is good to see you. Come in," Mr Shine said, opening the door wider.Logan stepped inside with a little sly smile on his lips and looked at the familiar surroundings. It had been a while since he had been in this house, but it felt like no time had passed. Mr Shine motioned for Logan to sit down, and he took a seat on the couch. He did not spe

    Logan nodded, "That is why I am here. I want to help you find out who did this and make sure you and your family are safe. Just watch that man closely. You know him, right?"Mr Shine looked at Logan, studying him carefully. "I hope you are being sincere, Logan. I can't bear to lose anyone else."But the truth was that he was scared. Who was Ivan? What did he want with his family?That ruthless billionaire who had everything under him! He was that mafia king who did not feel afraid of taking a life!He was that one man who never failed to get whatever he wanted! What was he up to? Why was he following his daughter?"I am, Riwel. I promise," Logan said, hoping that Mr Shine could not see through his facade. "I am just warning you like a long-time brother! You have heard about that man... Natalie is so innocent to be manipulated by him!"Riwel was still confused. Could someone explain to him whatever that was going on? How the hell did Natalie meet Ivan Dione?

Auntie Bella was standing at the side, not sure about what to do.Ivan tried to calm him down, but his son refused to be comforted. He had never seen the child like that."What is wrong, Carter?" Ivan asked with a sigh, trying to remain calm despite the chaos."Natie! I want Natie!" Carter wailed, kicking his legs and flailing his arms.Ivan frowned. Why was he crying for her all of a sudden? He thought they had agreed that they would go looking for her once everything had settled!"Not now, Carter!" Ivan said while shaking his head. "She is still..."But Carter's tantrum only escalated. He cried even loud

"I will not allow him to fool my sister! He wants to use her!“…When Natalie reached her floor and opened the door, she was surprised to find her family waiting for her.

    The old lady chuckled. “I was so stupid! How could I not differentiate between someone with a good heart like you from those full of bad intentions? Instead of protecting him, I exposed all of us to danger. Please forgive me…”Natalie, who had never had any experience of an elderly person apologizing, did not know what she was supposed to say. She pursed her lips in fear.The old lady sighed. “I am not saying all this because you saved my life. I just think I was too blind in the past not to see the good in you. Please, take good care of my grandson, and my great grandchildren!“Natalie was just so shocked. She had not expected that things would be this easy after so much struggle. That meant that the old lady was blessing her marriage with Ivan, right?She lifted her eyes to look at Ivan, and seeing the broad smile on his face, Natalie relaxed. Everything was fine. They were finally going to be together without any difficulties.Ivan winked at her, and Natalie could not help but roll

    The doctor sighed with disappointment. “You don't know it? That thing that healed you!“ He was not sure if the girl was just pretending or she really knew nothing about it.Natalie shook her head. “Wait… I think I was wounded! What happened? What is that Gello you are talking about?“ She asked.The doctor sighed. “When you were brought here, we all thought you were going to die! You had wounds, you had lost a lot of blood and you were almost losing your child. But… that thing they gave you… it healed you in less than ten minutes…”Even though Natalie was pretending not to know anything about Gello, she was shocked to hear that she was healed like that. “Doctor, are you sure about what you are talking about?“ “Yes… it happened… He just wrapped it around your hand…” The doctor had begun speaking when the door was pulled open and two men walked in. Trevor went directly to the doctor and held his hand. “Doctor, would you mind us having a small talk?“ He asked while pulling him out, not

    Natalie froze up. She waited for the excruciating pain, then maybe, death. She had been so sure that June had shot her straight in the chest. She would be dead in just a few seconds.However, after a few seconds, nothing happened. She did not get any pain either. Confused, she opened her eyes.“Natalie…” Someone called her. All she could hear and see were the movements of people here and there.But her eyes caught one person who was running towards her direction. “Natalie… are you okay?“ Ivan asked as he pulled her into his arms.Due to the pressure he applied, Natalie winced in pain. Her body was covered in several wounds due to the torture that these people had inflicted on her. She saw June lying on the ground, her gun some distance away from her.“You are hurt! Quickly, call an ambulance!“ Ivan ordered as he tried to untie her. Trevor and a few other men were checking up on the old lady.“Ivan… you came…” Natalie said in shock. She had not expected him to be back that quickly. But

Auntie June has a gun…” Carter said the moment he remembered what had happened.Natalie shook. “It's okay,” she said and carried Carter to the room where she had locked Melan. “She will protect you,” Natalie whispered to Carter.She handed Carter to Melan. “Melan, don't open the door until I come back. Don't make any noise,” she said while trembling.“Sister… will you be safe?“ Melan asked in fear. Natalie hurriedly nodded and locked the door behind her, leaving.She ran upstairs to Ivan's room and took out her phone. Luckily, Ivan hurriedly picked him up when she called him.“Natalie…” Ivan called. “Did something happen? I am done here. I am taking the plane soon…”“Ivan… hurry up! Grandma is in danger!“ Natal

    When Black came back to the room, Natalie wanted to keep her distance from him. If this man could send his wife away without blinking, what was he not capable of?Black sighed seeing her action. “Daughter, I sent her away to make up for what we caused you to go through in the past,” he spoke up. “Please, forgive me…”Still, Natalie could not fully understand if the man had changed or he was just pretending. “Why did you bring me back?“ She asked at last. She wanted to end things as fast as possible. She wanted to go back to Ivan and Carter.Black took a seat beside her. “I heard about your break up with Ivan… that man has wronged you. I am your father. I had to come for you. I will help you carry out revenge if you want to…”Natalie pretended to be really heartbroken. “But… why are you two fighting?“ She asked. She was still mad that the man had pretended that the break up had nothing to do with him.Black was silent for a while. “ We were fighting in the past, not anymore. I won't li

    …Natalie's eyes widened when she woke up on an unfamiliar bed, her mind finally connecting the dots. The room she found herself in was lavish and spacious, a real contrast to the small, cramped space she had been forced to inhabit in the past in this house. The memories of the mistreatment she endured flooded her mind, making her feel annoyed and anger about those two people that called themselves parents.She moved, and her body ached. She could not help but wince in pain. She had expected to be taken away by Black, but the fact that they had sedated her before bringing her here spoke volumes about their intentions. It was as if they didn't even want to give her the chance to fight back or escape.Her thoughts were interrupted as the door was pushed open, and a woman around forty years old stepped inside the room. The woman's eyes widened in disbelief as they landed on Natalie, and she let out a horrified scream."Aaaah!" the woman shrieked, her hands flying to her mouth as if to st

    Natalie tried to sit up, her concern immediately shifting to the boy who had accidentally knocked her off her feet. "The boy who just knocked me off... Is he okay?" she asked, showing her compassionate nature even in her own moment of distress.Ivan scanned the crowd and locked eyes with the worried boy. He noticed the blood on the boy's hand and pursed his lips. "Someone check up on the boy," he instructed, and the people around quickly rushed to help him.Still feeling disoriented, Natalie held onto Ivan's hand. "Can you help me up?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly."Of course," Ivan replied hurriedly, carefully assisting her to her feet. He guided her away from the gathering crowd and led her towards the car, where they could have some privacy.As they distanced themselves from the scene, Ivan noticed Natalie's expression changing. Her eyes turned red, and sadness enveloped her face. He gently helped her into the car, his heart aching for her."Are you feeling hurt anywhere?

He brought his hands to her face and gently caressed her, feeling the sense of peace that he had missed for days.Natalie's eyes fluttered when something kept moving on her face. Slowly, she opened her eyes and met a man's warm gaze. She snuggled closer to him, a smile on her face. "Good morning, beast," she greeted him jokingly.Ivan smiled and pinched her nose. "You look so happy today. Did that mean that I satisfied you well last night?" He joked back.Natalie buried her face into his chest to hide away her embarrassment. "Can't you just talk like a normal person?" She asked and pinched his waist playfully.Ivan hurriedly held her hand. "Stop messing around unless you want to awaken the beast again," he said, and kissed her lips lovingly.Natalie smiled, her cheeks flushed. She seemed to have thought of something and sat up. "Um...
