In the early morning, Gavin was the first to wake up. The moment he opened his eyes, a sharp pain hammered through his head, making him frown instinctively.

As he tried to sit up, he suddenly felt something soft and furry against his chest. Lowering his gaze, he reached out and realized that it was Laura lying on top of him.

His initial reaction was to push her off immediately, but as his eyes landed on her serene, sleeping face, his raised hand froze in midair.

His gaze was drawn to her lips. As if under a spell, he slowly lowered his head, and before he could even register his own actions, he gently kissed her.

This subconscious act came from the depths of his instincts. It wasn't until the moment their lips touched that he snapped back to reality, his heart surging with panic and guilt, as if he had committed an unforgivable sin.

His expression darkened. He pulled back abruptly, lifted the blanket, and got out of bed. Without a second glance, he strode toward the bathroom

    "Boss, Miss Laura is missing." Inside the nightclub, a subordinate rushed to Gavin in a panic, his voice trembling as he reported. Gavin's dark, night-like eyes instantly flashed with a chilling coldness. "When did she disappear?" "It seems like it's been a while… We weren't paying close attention, and by the time we noticed, she was already gone," the subordinate replied, keeping his head down, afraid to meet Gavin's gaze. His voice grew weaker with each word. The wine glass in Gavin's hand suddenly shattered with a sharp *crack*, shards scattering, and wine spilling onto the floor. "Find her!" he roared, his voice reverberating throughout the nightclub. In an instant, his well-trained subordinates sprang into action, sealing off every exit and scouring every inch of the club. They combed through every corner multiple times, turning the atmosphere tense and chaotic. Minutes passed like hours. Then, another subordinate ran up to Gavin, his face pale with fear, his steps

    Gavin and Leroy locked eyes in a silent but intense standoff. Despite Gavin's overwhelming numbers, Leroy's gaze remained calm and unwavering. As he stared down Gavin, Leroy's mind worked rapidly, assessing the situation, scanning his surroundings, and calculating an escape. He didn't know exactly why these men wanted them dead, but one thing was certain—he and Laura were in grave danger. Laura, caught completely off guard by the sudden turn of events, had no idea what was happening. However, Leroy's tense voice and protective stance made her sense the seriousness of the situation. Without hesitation, she obediently followed his instructions, clutching his arm tightly and resisting the urge to peek. Gavin's gaze dropped to their interlocked hands. The sight of Laura clinging so desperately to Leroy sent a sharp sting through his chest. The pain was fleeting, quickly replaced by an icy rage that turned his expression to stone. Then, in a voice as cold as death itself, he uttere

Inside, a little girl, Amy, ran toward Phoebe with her short legs, her big eyes brimming with unshed tears. Her voice was full of grievance as she whined, "Mommy, Mommy!

"Sweetheart, what happened?" she asked tenderly.Amy pouted, her small face scrunching up with distress.

He simply responded coldly, "Talk."Amy's eyes flickered with confusion and curiosity as she said, "Everyone else has a dad." She pointed toward a group of children playing not far away.

    Phoebe's fingers hovered over the cold doorknob for a second, her knuckles whitening. She drew a sharp breath and pushed open the heavy black door.The CEO's office was more expansive than she had imagined. Floor-to-ceiling windows framed the glittering cityscape beyond, while at the center of the room, a large black executive chair sat with its high back turned toward her—tall enough to nearly obscure the figure seated in it."Sir, I'm the new secretary, Phoebe Garcia." Her voice cut through the silence, so clear she could hear the faint tremor in her own words.No response.The chair rotated slowly, and Phoebe's gaze traveled upward—over polished leather shoes, long legs, an immaculately tailored suit—until it landed on that face.Alexander Knight.Her breath hitched. Her pupils constricted. It was as if every drop of blood in her veins had frozen solid.Thud. The cardboard box in her arms crashed to the floor, the small potted succulent inside shattering, soil streaking her skirt.

    Monday, Alexander's office.The sharp scent of nicotine hung heavily in the air, making it hard to breathe. The thick curtains were drawn tightly shut, blocking out even the faintest trace of sunlight. On the desk, countless files were scattered—each one filled with information about a certain woman.Alexander sat there, eyes tightly shut, brows deeply furrowed. He had locked himself in the office for two whole days, isolating himself from the outside world entirely.For the past two days, it felt like he was wandering through a maze of agony, memories flashing through his mind like fragmented images. The stories Dana had told him surfaced again and again, chaotically piecing together inside his head.Maybe it was because those memories were too familiar. Maybe it was the scent that lingered around him lately, or the figure that haunted his dreams. He had lost his memory for five years, but within these two days—it all came flooding back.All the love, all the hatred, played like a mo

    In the car ride home, Jeremy sat sulking in his seat, puffing out his cheeks, eyes fixed straight ahead, completely ignoring Amy. Amy gazed at him pitifully. She had apologized several times, but Jeremy remained unmoved.Amy felt both aggrieved and anxious. Is Jeremy really that angry with me? Is he just going to ignore me like this? No, she couldn't stand it. She didn't want her brother to keep giving her the cold shoulder."Jeremy, I'm sorry. Please talk to me. Forgive me, will you?" Amy sobbed as she stole glances at Jeremy, desperately hoping he would at least spare her a glance — even just a fleeting one.Jeremy folded his arms tightly across his chest and turned his head toward the window, deliberately avoiding Amy's gaze. He secretly made a vow to himself: From now on, I'm never taking her out again.Seeing that Jeremy still refused to pay her any attention, Amy had no choice but to seek help from their mother.

She instinctively looked up and saw a police officer walking toward her."Excuse me, are you Miss Phoebe Garcia?"Phoebe frowned slightly, puzzled. "Yes, I am. May I ask what this is about?""It's about your child. She's downstairs waiting for you," the officer explained briefly.Phoebe's face turned pale in an instant.

However, as her workload increased, the time she spent with the children grew less and less."Jeremy, are you sure this will help us find Mommy?" Amy stood at the kindergarten gate, her face full of worry as she looked up at Jeremy."Of course!" Jeremy grinned with confidence. "Just follow me closely."With that, he tightly grasped Amy's small hand, leading her toward the bus stop like a little adult.After a long bus ride, they finally arrived near the city center. Jeremy carefully helped Amy off the bus, holding her hand firmly.

He walked over to the liquor cabinet, took out a bottle of strong alcohol, and leaned elegantly against the plush sofa.For years, he had been haunted by a strange dream—an indistinct figure appearing and disappearing in the shadows. It seemed to be a woman. Every time, he tried desperately to see her face, but the closer he got, the blurrier she became until she eventually faded into the darkness.He had no idea how much time had passed when the sudden ringing of the phone in the living room pulled him back to reality.
