Hazel's POV

That support gave me an extra boost. I felt more confident that my plan could succeed. With a well-thought-out strategy and full attention to Charlie, I was determined to create a positive environment and strengthen our bond.

"Exactly, Mom. This isn't just about winning Charlie's heart. It's about making sure Sabrina knows her place. She’s nobody. She's just a stepmother trying to take something that isn’t hers."

The strength of my statement gave me a renewed sense of purpose. I realized that my struggle was more than just building a relationship with Charlie; it was also about maintaining my position and role in his life.

With firm determination, I planned my next steps. Every interaction with Charlie would be filled with care, ensuring that he felt loved and safe while I kept my distance from Sabrina. In my mind, all of this was part of a larger strategy to protect what I loved.

Mrs. Rosa gently patted my shoulder, as if gi

    Nicholas's POV Morning arrived gently, casting light through the slight gap in the curtains. I woke up before the alarm, an old habit I never quite shook off. There was a sense of calm settling in my chest this morning—a quiet conviction that today would go well, or at least, that I would face it with a steadier heart.I got out of bed and glanced at the other side. Sabrina was still asleep, her face peaceful. Faint traces of exhaustion lingered beneath her eyes, but I knew she was much stronger than she looked. Quietly, I changed out of my sleepwear into a white shirt and work slacks. I fastened the last button just as a small voice called out from the dining room.“Papa, I made a sandwich!” Charlie yelled.I smiled and stepped out of the room. Charlie was already sitting at the dining table, beaming, with a glass of milk in hand and a sandwich on his plate. Sabrina stood near the stove, stirring something in a pan.“Good morning, Prince,” I greeted as I ruffle

    Sabrina’s POV This city is loud, but inside the car it’s quiet.Silent, like the empty corners in my heart I’ve given entirely to Charlie.Hazel says she wants redemption. But redemption isn’t just a word. It’s a fight.A choice to strip away pride and accept that love doesn’t always return to the same place it left.I know what that feels like. And I’m not sure Hazel is ready.But… there was something in her eyes today. Something different. Not the gaze of someone trying to win.But someone terrified of losing—not reputation, not a job—But a kind of love you can never buy back,A child’s love.I know that fear. I live with it every day.I don’t know how long this will go on.Or how long we’ll remain trapped in this storm.But one thing is certain, I won’t let this child become the casualty of a war he never asked for.If Hazel has truly changed… Then I’m willing to listen. But trust? That will t

    Sabrina’s POV “Andrian wants to destroy Nicholas,” she said quietly. “He doesn’t care who he has to crush. Including me. He just wants revenge.”Nicholas’s words from earlier echoed in my head. “It seems there’s something Hazel herself doesn’t know.”I looked at Hazel silently. There was no anger in my chest. Only weariness, pity, and fear for what might happen if this all continued.“Will you speak in court?” I asked.Hazel nodded. “Yes. And I… I’ll tell the truth. Even if it means I lose everything.”I set my cup down. “I hope those aren’t just words, Hazel.”“They’re not. I can’t pretend anymore.”Hazel bowed her head, her eyes fixed on her hands clenched tightly in her lap. For a moment, she looked like someone who had given up. But I could sense something different—she was gathering courage, little by little, from the rubble of her despair.“I’m not perfect,” she said softly. “And maybe I’ll alway

    Sabrina’s POV That sentence kept echoing in my mind, like a distant whisper slowly unraveling my calm. I tried focusing on the ticking clock on the wall, the scent of jasmine tea in the air, the faint gurgle from the dispenser that had just shut off. But none of it could drown out the thoughts converging to one single point—Hazel.I didn’t want to think about her more than I had to. Didn’t want to reopen old wounds or reignite buried anger. But Nicholas’s words from earlier… couldn’t just be ignored.I knew who Andrian was. Everyone did. He wasn’t the type of man who gave without expecting something in return. If he was in Hazel’s life, it wasn’t out of kindness—it was strategy. And if Hazel really didn’t realize she was being used, then maybe her actions weren’t only driven by guilt or ambition. Maybe she was fighting her own battles in a game far more complex than it appeared.I stared into my cup, watching the lamp’s reflection shimmer on the cooli

    Sabrina's POV The midday air was still warm as I picked Charlie up from school. His bright smile, the quick little run toward me, and the hug that wrapped around my waist felt like a balm for the quiet unease I had been carrying. Today, Charlie was so happy. And seeing him that way gave me the strength to try harder, even though my heart was still filled with questions.In the car, he didn’t stop talking. About a drawing competition, about his funny friend, about how his teacher wore shoes that “didn’t match her clothes,” he said. I laughed quietly, responding to each story while keeping my eyes on the road. But my mind wasn’t fully there.The past few days had been filled with uncertainty. Hazel’s return—her sudden appearance—and all the emotions that surged back like old wounds ripped open again. I tried to remain neutral, to be the adult, objective and calm—but who can truly be neutral when the past shows up at your door, knocking while carrying the na

    Hazel’s POV From the top.That could only mean one person.Andrian.Without saying another word, I turned and strode quickly toward the elevator. My steps led me to the highest floor of the building—Andrian’s office.I pushed the door open without knocking and found him sitting casually behind his massive desk, as always, with a cup of coffee in one hand and a document in the other.He looked up, unsurprised by my presence.“Oh, Hazel. I thought you’d come sooner than this.”“What is the meaning of all this?” I snapped, my voice full of rage. “You fired me?”“Fired?” He smiled. “Such a harsh word. I simply ended our professional contract. Besides, isn’t it obvious? You betrayed me.”“Because I don’t want to be your pawn anymore? Because I want to save my son?” My voice rose. “You have no right to punish me just because I decided to stop playing your dirty game!”Andrian leaned ba
