Nicholas's POV

The three of us walked toward the hospital parking area. The fresh morning air slightly helped ease my fatigue. After a few steps, Hazel stopped and turned to me.

"Your car is still here, right?" she asked.

"Yes, it is. Wait a moment," I replied as I walked faster toward my car parked not far from there.

When we reached the car, I opened the back door for Charlie. He jumped in immediately with his little enthusiasm, his tail wagging with excitement. Watching him run cheerfully made me smile, as if he brought a bit of joy into the heavy atmosphere.

Once everyone was inside, I started the engine and adjusted the air conditioning. The vibrating sound of the engine seemed to erase the silence that weighed on our minds. During the drive, we passed familiar streets, but today felt different.

Hazel glanced at my car for a moment before finally sitting in the front seat. "You really need to check the condition of this car,

    Nicholas's POV That day, the office felt noisier than usual, or maybe it was just my overly sensitive feelings. The sounds of conversations and laughter from my coworkers echoed in my ears, creating a lively atmosphere that was hard to ignore.I sat in the large meeting room with several investors discussing the latest project proposal. In front of me, the projector displayed slides filled with numbers, statistics, and graphs. However, my head felt heavy, and my thoughts were far from all those figures. Every time someone asked a question or gave an opinion, I could only smile while trying to absorb the information, but my heart was not in that place.Worries about Sabrina and her condition in the hospital haunted me. In my mind, I pictured her weak smile and the hope resting on the care she was receiving. Every time the investors spoke, I reminded myself that this was part of my responsibility, but guilt always crept in.I stared at the screen,

    Nicholas's POV “Are you okay?” she asked, her tone slightly softer than usual.I nodded, even though it was clearly a lie. “I’m fine, Livia. Thank you.”Even though my words came out calmly, there was a tension I couldn’t hide. Livia looked at me intently, as if she could see deeper than just my smiling face. The anxiety and discomfort crept back, but I tried not to let it show.After a few seconds, Livia nodded, looking a bit hesitant, before continuing. I knew she wanted to ask more, but I was grateful when she chose not to. As she walked away, I refocused on my phone, hoping to receive the news I had been waiting for, even though uncertainty loomed over every moment.She approached, looking at me sharply. “No, you’re not okay. You barely said anything during the meeting earlier. And every five minutes, you check your phone. What’s wrong?”I took a deep breath, leaning back in my chair. “Sabrina... she’s in the hospital. She just h

    Nicholas's POV As I approached the door, I hoped to see her smile again, even though everything felt so uncertain right now. My steps felt heavy as I walked through the cold, silent hospital corridor. The white walls, usually unbothering, now felt oppressive, as if they were adding to the burden on my shoulders. Each step intensified my anxiety, and I tried to calm myself before reaching the ICU. At the door, I took a deep breath, gathering my courage before asking the nurse for permission to enter. They provided me with protective clothing and a mask, following strict procedures. After putting on all the gear, the nurse opened the door, and I stepped into the quiet room. Inside the ICU, the atmosphere was heavy. Machines beeped softly, while dim light cast shadows around the bed. Sabrina lay still, surrounded by various medical equipment that continued to emit quiet sounds. Her pale face made me hold m

    Sabrina's POVI watched hopefully as he tried several times to reach Hazel. But his expression changed as the calls went unanswered. Nicholas returned and sat in the chair next to my bed. "Hazel isn’t answering her phone," he said gently, trying to keep me from feeling too disappointed. "Maybe she’s busy with Charlie. I’ll try calling her again later." I nodded slowly, looking down at the blanket covering my legs. A feeling of disappointment gradually filled my chest, but I tried not to show it. Nicholas, as if reading my mind, suddenly smiled and opened the gallery on his phone. "But there’s something that might ease your longing a bit," he said while playing a video. I lifted my head, curious. On his phone screen, Charlie was playing in the living room of Hazel's apartment. His cheerful voice filled the room, calling out to Nicholas in the video. "Daddy, look at me! I can play like this!" he said in the recording, showcasing his simple toy tha

    Sabrina's POV I had just arrived home after dropping Charlie off at school. As I opened the door, the gentle aroma of the empty house welcomed me. I placed my bag and keys on the small table near the entrance, taking a deep breath in an attempt to dispel the heavy silence that felt more oppressive today.Every corner of this house reminded me of the beautiful moments we had shared together. However, now everything felt empty without Nicholas's presence. I walked slowly into the living room, feeling the stillness envelop me.Sitting on the sofa, I reflected on how my days were always filled with noise and laughter. Now, everything seemed to have come to a halt. I picked up my phone and checked the screen, hoping for a message from him, but there was none.“I can get through this,” I whispered, trying to calm myself. Maybe I could do something to fill the time, something that would make me feel better. I got up and headed to the kitchen, intending to pr

    Sabrina's POV Charlie looked proud to hear that. He puffed out his little chest, making me smile even more.When we arrived home, I helped Charlie take off his shoes on the porch. We went inside, and the aroma of chicken soup wafting from the kitchen immediately filled our noses.Charlie sniffed the air and exclaimed, “Wow, your cooking smells amazing, Mom!”I ruffled his hair gently. “Let’s wash our hands first, then we can eat.”We went to the bathroom, washing our hands together while laughing as Charlie played with soap bubbles. After that, we sat at the dining table. I poured warm soup into Charlie’s bowl, arranging it with cute-shaped vegetables, star-shaped carrots, and heart-shaped potatoes to make him more excited to eat.As the first spoonful entered his mouth, his eyes widened. “It’s so good, Mom!”I laughed. “You like it?”He nodded quickly. “Yes! Daddy has to try this later!”I held my breath f

    Sabrina's POV I tried to focus on the road, but the image of his face kept haunting me. I imagined how he was doing now, in London, facing heavy challenges. “Is he okay? Does he feel alone?” I asked myself.Every question haunted my mind, but I knew I had to be strong. For Charlie, for Nicholas, and for myself.Upon arriving home, I walked slowly to the living room, sat on the sofa, and reached for a small photo album lying on the table. I hadn’t opened the album in a long time, but today, for some reason, I wanted to see the smiles captured by the camera.The first thing I saw was a photo of Charlie as a toddler, hugged by Nicholas while smiling brightly. His little face full of happiness reminded me of those simple times. It felt like just yesterday when he was learning to walk, and Nicholas was always there to catch him whenever he fell.I continued to the photo from Charlie's first birthday. Nicholas and I stood in the background, ou

    Sabrina's POVThis morning felt a bit quieter. There was no sound of Nicholas's footsteps usually heard from the bathroom to the kitchen, no sleepy smile as he pulled out a chair for breakfast. It was the second day without his presence, and I was still trying to adjust.Every corner of this house felt empty, as if everything had lost its color. I sat at the dining table, staring at the empty plate in front of me. The aroma of coffee that usually warmed the atmosphere now only reminded me of his absence. I tried to distract myself by reading a book, but the words on the pages felt flat and meaningless.I remembered the little moments with him—how he would often tease me when I was too serious, or how he always remembered little details about me. Without him, my days seemed dull and monotonous.Taking a deep breath, I stood up from the table. Maybe I needed to go out and get some fresh air. But before that, I glanced at our photo on the wall.

    Nicholas’s POV Leaning back in the car seat, I took a deep breath. I knew this journey was not just about saving the project, but also about saving trust—trust from clients, trust from my family, and perhaps, my own trust in the people I had once considered important.I opened my phone again, staring at the wallpaper photo, me, Sabrina, and Charlie in the park last week. They were the reason I had to resolve all of this. I couldn’t fail.“I’ll be home soon,” I whispered to the screen now displaying the digital boarding pass. “For you.”The plane was set to take off in one hour, and I was already sitting in the airport waiting lounge, alone with my endlessly spinning thoughts. My laptop was on my lap, but not a single email I read truly registered in my mind. I just stared at the blank screen while my thoughts returned to one point—Hazel.Why did she do it? What was her motivation? I knew she loved Charlie. But this… this wasn’

    Nicholas’s POV I suddenly sank back in my chair. My body felt stiff, and my head felt like it had been hit with a blunt object. The project with Mr. Harrington wasn’t just any project; it was a long-term strategic partnership that would expand our business network into Europe. Everything was almost finalized. And now, canceled?I squeezed my temples with both hands. The missing report, Hazel avoiding me, and now this. Everything felt clearer. But there was no time to get caught up in anger or shock.I had to move quickly. With my mind starting to focus, I reopened my laptop and began checking all the data related to the project. If there were discrepancies, I needed to find them before Mr. Harrington made his final decision.One thing was certain: I couldn’t let this end like this. I had to find Hazel, get an explanation from her, and perhaps—just perhaps—find a way to save this project.“Book the fastest flight to London for today!” I c

    Nicholas’s POV I had been holding my phone for five minutes, staring at the screen with Hazel's name clearly displayed. Anger bubbled inside me, but there was also deep disappointment. Even so, I knew I couldn’t resolve this with just emotions. I needed clarity. I needed direct answers from her.So, with a deep breath, I pressed the green button and brought the phone to my ear. But she didn’t answer.Seconds ticked by, feeling more and more tense. I tried calling again, but the result was the same. The courage I had built up began to fade, replaced by anxiety and frustration.What should I do now? If she was indeed involved, maybe she already knew I was suspicious. With each passing second, negative thoughts gnawed at me.The ringing tone continued until I finally heard her voice on the other end. “Hello?” “Hazel, it’s Nicholas.” There was a brief silence, then I heard her usual tone. “Oh… why are you calling

    Nicholas’s POV My heart began to race. This wasn’t just an ordinary document. Inside were details of the monthly report, fund allocation strategies, and financing plans for new projects. Everything was sensitive.I stood and walked to the shelf in the corner of the room, checking the extra folders I sometimes used to store copies. Still nothing. “Strange…” I muttered as I sat back down and rubbed my temples.My mind drifted to many things. I hadn’t opened that document yesterday. So who did? My secretary was always meticulous and wouldn’t randomly move important documents without my knowledge. And the only person in my office yesterday was Hazel.I shook my head quickly, trying to dismiss the suspicion that arose. But my mind was starting to be clouded with discomfort. I rarely made mistakes with paperwork, especially something so crucial.Quickly, I pressed the intercom button. “Please come to my office now.” “Sure, sir.”

I tried to listen, although my thoughts still wandered to heavier matters. However, seeing his smile made me feel a little better.“Papa, look! There’s a dog!” he suddenly exclaimed, pulling my attention back to the road.I smiled, trying to engage in his excitement. “Yeah, champ! The dog is cute, isn’t it?”As soon as the car stopped right in front of the school gate, Charlie eagerly unbuckled his seatbelt. “Charlie’s off to school now, Papa!” he exclaimed as he reached for his bag in the back seat. I turned to him and placed a hand on his shoulder for a moment. “Wait a second.” Charlie stopped and looked at
