Sabrina's POV

After finishing our shopping, as we walked past the stores, Charlie suddenly pulled my hand excitedly. "Mom, Dad, can we play first? Look, there's Timezone!" he said, pointing to the arcade area in the corner of the mall.

I glanced at Nicholas, seeking his approval. Nicholas just smiled slightly and shrugged. "Why not? We still have time."

Charlie immediately cheered and pulled us both toward the arcade. I laughed at his enthusiasm, while Nicholas just shook his head, smiling. Seeing Charlie so excited made my heart flutter. Moments like this are what I always wanted—sharing happiness and joy as a family.

Once inside, the loud sounds from various game machines filled our ears. The laughter of children and the sound of falling coins created an atmosphere full of energy and cheer. Charlie jumped up and down, his eyes sparkling as he saw all the colorful games. He ran toward the most eye-catching machine, as if all the games were calling him.

Nicholas and I followed be

    Sabrina's POV I decided to take over and give it a few tries myself. With hope, I directed the claw towards the panda, but the results were still the same. Every time the claw missed its target, I sighed, feeling a bit frustrated. It felt like an endless challenge, and I really wanted to see a smile on Charlie's face.Nicholas stepped closer, encouraging Charlie. “Don’t worry, Charlie. We can try again! Maybe we just need one more attempt.”Charlie nodded, though his expression still showed disappointment. I felt how important that panda was to him, and I didn’t want to give up just yet. We both kept trying, occasionally changing our strategy, but every time the claw reached for the toy, the outcome was the same.With unwavering determination, we gave it one last shot. I carefully directed the claw, praying in my heart that this time it would work. As the claw began to close, my hopes soared, but unfortunately, the panda remained in its place.

    Sabrina's POV When we reached the car, Charlie carefully placed Titan in the back seat, as if the robot were a special passenger. The ride home felt even cheerier with Titan's presence, a symbol of a day filled with happiness and precious moments we shared as a family.During the drive home, Charlie sat in the back seat with his robot in his lap. His eyes sparkled as he played with the robot's arms, as if imagining an epic battle between Titan and its enemies. Every time he moved Titan's arm, he narrated imaginative adventure stories.“Titan will fight a giant monster!” he exclaimed, his excitement unmatched. “He will protect the city from destruction!” His vivid storytelling made me smile.Nicholas, who was sitting in front, occasionally turned around and laughed at Charlie's imagination. “You have to be careful, Charlie. The monster can come at any time!” he said, adding excitement to the story.Charlie nodded seriously, as if he were truly

    Sabrina's POV Upon entering the room, I immediately sat on the edge of the bed, exhaling slowly. Nicholas grabbed a glass of water and took medication from the drawer, then handed it to me. "Drink this, and then you can go straight to sleep."I accepted it without much protest. After swallowing the medication, I looked back at Nicholas, who was still standing in front of me with a worried expression."I'll take care of Charlie," he said, as if answering a question I hadn't asked. "You don’t need to worry. Sleep, I promise everything will be alright."I nodded slowly. "Thank you, Nicholas."Nicholas smiled slightly, then pulled the blanket over me. "Rest. I’ll wake you up later for lunch."I merely murmured a quiet response. My body felt even more tired after lying down, and slowly my eyes began to close.Before I completely fell asleep, I heard the sound of Charlie's tiny footsteps approaching. "Mom, have a good rest."

    Nicholas's POV After dropping Charlie off at school and watching him enter the gate happily, I sighed in relief. I waved goodbye before turning to Sabrina, who stood beside me. She seemed to smile, but there was a hint of fatigue on her face.I could feel how exhausting yesterday had been for both of us. The happy moments with Charlie had indeed drained our energy, but seeing his smile made it all worthwhile. Sabrina took a deep breath, trying to shake off the weariness that was evident on her face.We walked slowly away from the school, enjoying the morning silence. The fresh air brought a bit of new energy, and I hoped today would give us a chance to relax. We both knew that despite the fatigue, this time together was the most precious thing.“Come on, let me give you a ride home,” I said while opening the car door for her.Sabrina gently shook her head. “I can go home by myself, Nicholas. You might be late for the office.”

    Nicholas's POV From where I stood, I could see her walking into the room, disappearing behind the door. The atmosphere around her house seemed calm, with sunlight streaming through the windows, creating a warm ambiance.After a few seconds, I took a deep breath and walked back to the car. But as I reached for the door handle, I glanced back at the house once more.I didn’t know when it started, but lately, something felt different. It was as if something within me was beginning to change. Something that made me want to keep ensuring that Sabrina and Charlie were okay.This feeling was so strong, as if they had become an important part of my life. I felt more connected to them than ever, and that sense of responsibility was growing within me. Every time I saw Sabrina, I saw not just a friend, but also a struggling mother, and I wanted to make sure she wasn’t facing everything alone.I sighed, trying to gather my thoughts before getting into th

    Nicholas's POV I felt my urge to fight for Sabrina's rights grow stronger, and I knew I had to do everything I could to support both of them in this difficult situation. "Second," Rudi continued, "the stability of the environment. If the biological mother suddenly reappears and wants to take custody, she must prove that the change will not harm the child." I sighed. "But Hazel might use the fact that she is the biological mother." "True." Rudi looked at me intently. "But you can prove that for five years, it has been Sabrina who has cared for him. And if Charlie is old enough to speak, the court may consider his wishes." I fell silent, processing all this information. "So, what do you want to do, Nicholas?" Rudi asked quietly. I raised my face and looked at him. "I want to know, if I take this to legal proceedings, is there a significant chance that Charlie will stay with Sabrina?" Rudi nodded. "There is a possibility, if you have sufficient evidence." I breathe

    Nicholas's POV I didn't want Charlie to lose anyone. Not Hazel, and not Sabrina. I wanted him to have both in his life. However, Hazel left no room for compromise. She always saw Sabrina as an obstacle, not someone who also loved Charlie.This pain felt deeper as I considered what would happen if this battle continued. Charlie shouldn't be caught in the conflict between two people who were supposed to love him. He deserved the affection and support from both, but Hazel seemed unwilling to see that reality.Every time I imagined Hazel confronting Sabrina, I felt a threatening tension. She wasn't just challenging Sabrina's position as a mother, but also belittling everything Sabrina had done for Charlie. This wasn't just a matter of rights; it was also about recognizing the love and sacrifices that had been built over the years.If I spoke to Hazel, would she change her mind? I doubted it. So far, all our conversations had ended with the same debate. Every time I tried to explain my fe

    Sabrina's POV I paced back and forth in the living room, glancing at the clock on the wall from time to time. Nicholas and Charlie should have been home by now, but for some reason, they hadn't arrived. The clock showed nine in the evening, and the atmosphere in the house felt increasingly silent. The only sound was the ticking of the clock, as if reminding me that time was passing.I tried to calm myself, assuring that perhaps they were just stuck in traffic or stopped somewhere. However, the shadow of anxiety began to gnaw at my mind. What was really happening? Were they okay?To distract myself, I tried to turn on the TV. However, the show was dull and couldn't capture my attention. I switched to my phone, hoping for a message or call that would explain their whereabouts. But the screen remained silent.As the night wore on, the dark shadows outside the window became more frightening. I stood by the window, observing the empty street. There we

    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.”

    Nicholas’s POV Today was long, and I had to be strong for everything. A sense of responsibility flowed within me, pushing me to remain steadfast. With each passing second, I was determined to give my best for our family.Charlie began to tell stories about his friends at school, his cheerful voice filling the car. 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
