Chapter 114 You leave with the children.

As the silence stretches, my restlessness increases. I am almost losing my patience. I open my mouth to say something, but he holds up his hand to stop me, and I reluctantly fall quiet, giving him the floor to speak.

“Listen to me first.” His voice cuts through the silence, and I swallow hard, my anticipation growing. “Things are turning ugly here. I am trapped badly. All the evidence is against me, but you shouldn’t be concerned about it. I’ll handle everything. You leave with the children. I’ll ask my assistant to book your flight tickets.”

His words strike me like a blow to the chest, and my heart sinks further. Despite our attempts to keep him in the dark, he's managed to uncover the extent of the troubles he's facing. Tears gather in my eyes as the reality of the situation hits me.

“No, I am not leaving anywhere,” I say emphatically, my voice quivering with a mix of fear, frustration, and unwavering resolve. His plea to protect me only strengthens my resolve to stay by his side.
