Leaving Orion here was nothing but beneficial."I understand your thoughts. You believe that keeping the child with you will convince Dominic that you're genuinely unguarded. But remember, there's always a bigger fish," Pharaoh said quietly, his voice full of concern. "Don't forget, he's the president of Salterra. He wouldn't have gotten to where he is without being formidable."Nina fell silent, realizing she had overlooked that fact."So, we'll leave Orion here for now, and Nash and I will go ahead.""If all goes well, you can come back to get him. Nina, I just want to make up for everything I owe you. Even if it costs me my life, I won't let anything happen to him," Pharaoh said, his voice husky and resolute.Nina's breath caught in her throat. She had seen the lengths Pharaoh had gone to for Orion."Father..." she whispered, reaching out to embrace him.Pharaoh patted her shoulder gently. "Child, staying here with the Yaren Tribe would be the best choice for you. But I know
"And... Daddy!" Parting was already emotional. However, hearing Orion say that made it feel as though someone was carving into Nina and Nash's hearts with a sharp knife, one slow cut at a time. "We will. We’ll come back together to get you," they promised in unison. Their voices were thick with emotion, as if something was lodged in their throats, making it impossible to swallow the pain. But they had no choice. They could only keep moving forward without looking back.Orion watched them leave, not shedding a single tear. Pharaoh knelt beside Orion, speaking to him with patience. "What do you want to do, grandson? Do you want to go out and play, or would you like to start school?"At five years old, children in the Yaren Tribe were usually finishing their last year of kindergarten and preparing to enter the first grade. But because of his health, Orion had not had the chance to attend school. Like most kids, he longed for playmates and the experience of school.Looking up at
When interacting with strangers, Orion was particularly quiet, and in this case, he did not say a word. Seeing his silence, the other kids began to sneer, "If you can't talk, why are you even here to learn? I think you should be in a school for disabled kids!""Exactly!"These kids were brought in with the expectation of making a new friend, but instead, they found someone who would not talk. Feeling frustrated, they started to ridicule him, assuming he was mute. Orion, though he disliked talking, was not mute or incapable. He glared at them and said firmly, "Apologize!"Just as the kids were about to mock him further, they noticed Micah striding over with a serious expression."Mr. Micah!" they all called out in unison.Orion looked at Micah, his gaze softening though he remained silent. Micah nodded, crouching down to place a hand gently on Orion’s head. "Orion, how are you feeling?"One of the boys, dressed in a white t-shirt with tanned skin, pointed at Orion and said,
Micah picked up Orion and walked away with him.......Meanwhile, Nina and Nash's flight ran into trouble, forcing them to land and leaving them stranded at the airport. Everything was unfolding exactly as they had anticipated.Dominic had made his move.He arranged his men to capturer Nina and Nash. Everything was going according to their plan. After being forced off the plane and rerouted to Salterra, they finally came face-to-face with Dominic.Dominic tried to separate them, but Nash held Nina's hand tightly, refusing to let go. In the end, they were both brought before Dominic together."You claim to care about him so much, yet you're willing to ignore the poison still in his body?" Dominic said, his hands clasped behind his back, addressing Nina with cold disdain. He clearly did not like her and made no effort to hide it.A faint trace of sarcasm played on Nina's lips. "You were the one who sought him out in the first place. Instead of making amends, you poisoned him. On
Now, his image on the international stage has plummeted, with the forums filled with nothing but scorn for him. Especially since his face was clearly captured in the footage."It's you..." Dominic's eyes burned with rage. He had only one thought which was to kill Nina. She was the cause of all this chaos. Without her, Nash would never have defied him so repeatedly.But with everything being livestreamed, he could not act against her now.Facing Dominic's accusations, Nina stood her ground without fear or hesitation. "Yes, it was me. You've pushed us too far. We just want to live in peace, but you won’t allow it."Don't think we don’t know that you kept Orion close, refusing to fully heal him, just so you could use him to control Nash."Nash had not contacted her for five years. At first, it was because he was severely injured and in a coma. Later, he made his own decisions, wanting to wait until everything was settled so they could live peacefully as a family. But things did n
Nina knew one thing for sure. This time, Dominic would not come after them again. But while Dominic might let them go, Remi certainly wouldn’t.Remi rushed up to Nash, blocking their path. "Nash, you’re taking her away, but did you even ask me? I’m your fiancée. I won’t allow it!""That was arranged by Dominic, not by me. Nina is my wife. You should move on and find someone else." Nash’s tone was calm but firm as he rejected her.With that, he wrapped his arm around Nina and continued walking.Remi wanted to follow, but a sharp voice stopped her in her tracks, "Remi, stay where you are!"Remi had no choice but to stop in her tracks, but she knew that in this world, secrets never stay hidden. She was determined to have Nash, no matter what. She would not let this go unpunished. The humiliation she suffered because of him, especially in front of so many people, demanded retribution. She needed to get back at him and restore her pride. Remi would make sure of it and she was not
Though Freya was heartbroken, she still cared about Micah and chose to leave quietly. She knew that if he saw her lingering outside his door, he would be upset, and she did not want to cause him any distress. But she did not leave the matter entirely alone. Instead, she went to see Pharaoh. Noticing her red, swollen eyes, Pharaoh understood immediately. "If Micah bullied you, I can teach him a lesson," he offered. He was implying that if it was about anything else, it was out of his hands.Pharaoh had reached his current position through years of experience. He knew Freya had always been by Micah's side, and it was clear to him how she felt about Micah. But matters of the heart could not be forced, especially with someone as strong-willed as Micah.Freya had not expected Pharaoh to be so blunt. She took a deep breath and said softly, "Pharaoh, can't you help me? I really love him... He doesn't have anyone else in his life. I promise, I'll stay by his side and support him always."
Nina immediately realized what was happening and grabbed Nash's hand. "The poison in your body... it hasn’t been cured, has it?""I'm sorry..." Nash's voice was raspy and weak.Hearing this, Nina felt a sharp pain in her heart. "I don’t want to hear your apologies. We’re going back right now!" Nina grabbed Nash and started to pull him back. She had believed that her father had already cured Nash of the poison, especially since Nash had shown no signs of weakness. She had assumed everything was fine. But now, realizing Nash had been pretending all along, she felt a deep pain in her heart.Just as she was about to head back, Nash held her tightly and shook his head. He knew exactly what she was thinking. She wanted to return to his father for help. But if Dominic had been willing to give the antidote, he would not have let them go in the first place, not without saying a word."He won’t give it up easily. He probably wants to negotiate with us, but we—""I don’t want to negotiat
