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."

    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 Charlie was silent, but I could feel his arms hugging me back tightly. The warmth of his body provided a bit of solace amidst the anxiety that still enveloped me. I closed my eyes, trying to hold back the tears that were about to fall.A mix of relief and emotion filled my heart. This moment was so precious, and I knew that all the worries that had gnawed at me seemed to fade away as I felt his presence beside me."I'm scared," I whispered in his ear. "I'm scared you won't come home."Charlie pulled back slightly, looking at me with confusion. "Why, Mommy?" he asked innocently.I shook my head, gently wiping his cheek. "Because you are so precious to me..."My words hung in the air, full of meaning. In that moment, I felt how deep my love for him was. The fear was not just about losing him, but also about the protection and affection I wanted to give.Charlie smiled sweetly, as if trying to calm my still r

    Sabrina's POV I felt the tension in my body start to loosen. In this embrace, I knew we would get through anything together. Nicholas was the support that made me feel strong, and I tried to store this moment in my memory."You look tired," he finally said, his voice gentle. "Let me take over for you."I shook my head. "I'm fine. Besides, it's just cooking. I can handle it."I tried to pull away, but Nicholas remained still behind me, not moving. His presence made me feel comfortable, but I still wanted to finish this task.However, fatigue began to gnaw at my spirits. Even though I tried hard to appear strong, my body signaled that I might need help. Charlie's cheerful voice in the living room reminded me that there were small joys to be enjoyed, and I didn't have to bear all the burdens alone.Nicholas shifted his attention back to the cooking, his eyes conveying understanding without words. I felt a little relieved, knowing h

    Sabrina's POV Once we arrived at the hospital, Nicholas immediately guided me into the ER. Charlie was still in his arms, hugging Nicholas's neck tightly while looking at me with concern. A nurse quickly greeted us and noticed my hand still wrapped in the bandage. "What happened?" he asked briskly. "Her finger was cut pretty deeply while cooking," Nicholas replied before I could say anything. The nurse nodded and led us into the treatment room. I sat on the examination bed while Nicholas stood close by, his worried expression unchanged.Soon after, a doctor entered, wearing a white coat with a stethoscope hanging around his neck. "Good evening, ma'am. May I see your injury?" he asked kindly. I nodded and slowly unwrapped the temporary bandage that Nicholas had put on. Once the gauze was off, I could see the cut on my finger still oozing a little blood. The doctor examined it closely and then nodded slightly. "The cut is quite deep, bu

    Hazel's POVI stared at my phone screen with a whirlwind of emotions. Once again, my calls went unanswered. Nicholas had been ignoring me for days, and now he wouldn't even pick up the phone? I bit my lip, trying to hold back the growing anger that was taking over my thoughts.I tried again. Once. Twice. Three times. Still no answer. Each time the ringtone stopped, my frustration deepened. There was something profoundly painful about the person who was supposed to be close to you drifting away.My feelings were mixed. On one hand, I felt disappointed and rejected; on the other, I was confused. What was really happening? Why wouldn't he answer? Maybe I should give him space, but it felt hard not to try.I set my phone down beside me and sighed. The anger began to mix with worry. Was he okay? Or maybe there was something bigger he was facing? Thinking about those possibilities only made me more restless.I tried to calm my mind, but the ima

    Hazel's POVDeep down, I knew this was more than just a fight. It was about love and commitment, about the mutual respect that should exist between us. However, right now, all of that felt like a shattered dream. Despair crept in, making me feel weaker. What should I do? How could I bring back the warmth that once existed between us? I couldn't continue living in this uncertainty, and I knew I had to take action. I looked at Charlie's small, cheerful face. That child is mine. I gave birth to him. I should be the one by his side, not Sabrina! A deep sense of ownership and love burned within me, demanding that I do something. With one rough motion, I yanked the photo frame from the wall and threw it to the floor. The glass shattered loudly, the sound echoing in the room, reflecting the shattering of my heart. I gasped for breath, my anger still boiling, now mixed with a pain that pierced my chest. Seeing all that happened, I felt like I

    Hazel's POVMy chest tightened as I thought about it all. Each question felt like a knife slicing through my heart. I had been patient enough, but Nicholas continued to push me away, as if I were nobody.I am Charlie's mother. I have the right to be in my own child's life. Yet, the reality I faced was the opposite. Now, I was treated like an outsider, sidelined from a life that should have been mine.The pain was excruciating, and I felt trapped in a never-ending maze of emotions. Every time I saw them together, my heart felt crushed even deeper. Why couldn’t he see or feel how much I wanted to be involved? How much I loved Charlie and wanted to be a part of his life?I shook my head, trying to dispel all those negative thoughts. Maybe tonight was the time to release all the burdens that troubled me. I have the right to feel happy, even if only for a moment.I reached for my third glass and gulped it down again. The warm sensation of alco

    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
