  Raphael POV

  I was looking at some papers.

  My friend, Royce, was sitting on the couch in my office.

  Royce said, "Raphael, who's our partner this time? I can't believe she stood you up! Not many women in New York would dare to do that. Wait, you said before that she was a software designer and a genius, right?"

  I didn't look at him and said, "You'll find out later when you meet her."

  What I was going to start this time was the design project for the newest cell phone of Royal Group's subsidiary. Previously, I had not been able to find a suitable AI software designer, and all this project was repeatedly delayed.

  The market potential for Araceli's Creaty was huge. That was what I was looking for.

  I called Royce the other day and told him about it, and Royce was surprised. The U.S. did not currently have leading AI software. We all knew that if a phone with such software was ever released, it would create a buzz. This was why Royce was very curious about who the designer wa

      Araceli POV  In fact, I didn't expect Raphael to really come, and to come alone.  I froze for a couple of seconds when I opened the door, but quickly calmed down.  Royal Group was the largest group in New York. I thought Raphael probably didn't have time to come over.  I did get a little angry at the time, but then I regretted it after I said that.  As a result, he came.  This was proof that he did value me as a partner.  I made him a cup of instant coffee.  Raphael sniffed it, frowned slightly, and said, "Ms. Chancey, I'll have a coffee machine sent over tomorrow, as a gift from me to you."  "Thank you, Mr. Lancaster."  I didn't feel embarrassed in the slightest and accepted with a smile.  I took the file over and handed him a copy. "A year ago, I did a project on machine learning. The results at that time were approved by the research institute I worked for, but the research was not successfully implemented becaus

      Araceli POV  I rushed to Unilan bar, pushed open the door to the room and saw Reynaldo lying tied up on the floor.  A man in black was holding a woman who was sobbing.  "Araceli..."  Reynaldo tried to crawl over, but was kicked by a man in a suit.  That man in black, with a cigarette in his mouth, approached me. "Did you bring the money?"  I threw a check over. "50 thousand dollars."  He picked up the check from the floor and gave me a suspicious look. After he finished confirming it, he said, "Take him and get out."  He looked at Reynaldo and said indignantly, "Bastard, if you touch my woman again, I'll kill you."  I narrowed my eyes slightly and stared at Reynaldo. He shook his head frantically and had tears in his eyes.  After the ropes were untied from Reynaldo's body, I yanked him by the collar and headed out.  "Araceli, I was wrong! Don't be angry. It's not what you think. I..."  I threw him to the floor

      Araceli POV  The next morning, when I came downstairs to make breakfast, the couch was empty.  There was a note on the table, "Araceli, I'm going back to France. See you next time."  I frowned slightly.  Reynaldo had given me that large sum of money yesterday. It should have been known to his father.  "Mommy, where did Uncle Reynaldo go?"  Krish asked softly as he walked down the stairs holding Valeria.  I looked back and felt my heart soften a lot when I saw my two children. I smiled and said, "It's okay. He's back in France."  I still went to Veronica's place last night to pick up my kids. The house was not far from Sliver Pack's villa, and the kids were still up.  Reynaldo's comments last night bothered me a bit, even though he was drunk and snoozing afterwards. I'd feel better if the kids were around.  Krish rubbed his eyes. "Mommy, are you okay?"  "I'm fine. Let's have breakfast. I'll take you guys to Brizela D

      Raphael POV  I was working in the office when I heard noisy voices coming from the door.  "Where's the little girl?"  "Where are her parents?"  "Send more people to look for her now!"  I frowned. Just in time, Maddox opened the door and came in to brief me on his latest investigation. He entered my office with a thick stack of papers and a hurried pace.  I asked him, "Maddox, what's going on out there?"  Maddox shook his head and said, "Mr. Lancaster, a little girl has run into the building. The security guards are looking around for her."  I suddenly thought of Essel sneaking out a lot, too. An inexplicable irritation ran through me.  "Tell security that if this happens again, they will be fired."  "Got it."  Maddox answered me carefully, nodding.  I gathered my papers, grabbed my bag, and headed out the door. Maddox reported as he followed me out the door.  The security guards who were busy instantly s

      Araceli POV  I finished my work and was closing my eyes, leaning back in my chair, ready to take a break.  I had only just closed my eyes when my phone suddenly rang.  Frowning, I glanced at the phone impatiently.  It was Krish and Valeria's teacher, Mayra.  I answered the phone, saying politely, "Ms. Scott?"  "Ms. Chancey!" Mayra's voice trembled. "Valeria is missing!"  "What?"  Instantly, I freaked out, and my mind went blank.  I did my best to calm down and said, "Ms. Scott, what's going on? You can talk slowly."  "Krish and Valeria are missing! I checked the surveillance video and found that Valeria ran out alone. Ten minutes later, Krish also ran out. I think he went to look for Valeria. Our security guard happened to be on shift change at that time, so he didn't notice the two kids running out of the gate..."  I hurriedly said, "I'll be right there."  Mayra and I said a few words. I grabbed the car keys

      "Buzz..."  The phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated.  I calmed down a little and took out the phone.  It was Raphael calling.  I suddenly snapped back to what crazy thing I was about to do, and the hand holding the gun shook slightly.  I couldn't do that. If I killed Melany, I'd go to jail for sure. What would happen to my children then?  For me, shooting Melany in the head was the fastest way to get revenge, but it was also the stupidest.  I screamed in my heart.  I couldn't do that!  I couldn't let Krish and Valeria be abused because their mother was a murderer!  I hated Melany to death, but I couldn't ruin myself by killing her.  Taking a deep breath and getting into my car, I did a drift, turned the car around and drove back.  Gripping the steering wheel tightly, I pulled out of the block, and slammed on the brakes.  Krish screamed.  "Mommy!"  My body leaned forward uncontrollly.  T

      Araceli POV  Cold sweat oozed from my forehead, and I didn't dare to move.  At that moment, Valeria suddenly reached out and slapped him gently.  She was just a little girl, so the slap shouldn't hurt at all, but it still made a crisp sound.  Raphael's face became livid.  I shuddered slightly, hurriedly led Krish and headed out.  Raphael was also stunned.  He didn't expect Valeria to slap him at all.  I apologized as I opened the door, "Mr. Lancaster, I'm really sorry..."  As I spoke, I focused on Raphael's expression.  His face was getting colder and colder.  "Mr. Lancaster, I have to go now..."  I held Valeria, took Krish by hand, and headed out.  Valeria let go of my neck, looking self-conscious and apologetic.  I walked out of the courtyard and asked her, "Valeria, can you tell me why you came to Mr. Lancaster?"  I asked in a low and gentle voice.  She blinked in confusion, didn't s

      Araceli POV  Early the next morning.  The morning light cast a soft glow through the gaps in the curtains, filling the room with an atmosphere of peace and warmth.  I dropped my two children off at Brizela Daycare and drove to Eclipse Group.  I had just entered the office when I heard some employees gathered in the break room talking about something.  "Melany is so pathetic. That project was supposed to be hers."  "Anyway, Melany is the heir to Eclipse Group, isn't she?"  I sneered and walked over. A few of the employees in the break room turned around and were startled to see me.  "Ms. Chancey..."  They stammered a greeting to me, smiled awkwardly, and bowed their heads.  "Nice to meet you guys." I smiled, "Before long, I should be the manager of the marketing department."  Several employees looked at each other.  At that moment, a woman came over, held her head high and said proudly, "Navi Group is a multina

"Of course I got gifts for everyone."He placed the bunny doll in Valeria's hand, then pulled a box out of his book bag and walked over in Krish's direction."This is a gift for you."Micah opened the box.It was a Rubik's Cube.He handed the cube over. "If you don't know how, I can teach you."Krish took the Rubik's Cube, played with it for a moment, raised his eyes, and said, "Thanks, I like it."Micah said calmly, then pulled another stack out of his book bag."Mommy, this is my gift to you."I froze.My heart suddenly overflowed with emotion and my voice became softer."Micah, thank you."I flipped the document in my hand over and froze.It was actually the share transfer lette

Raphael's voice was a little raspy. "I heard you on the phone when I went to look for you at Creaty Company."My lips pursed."Why didn't you tell me?" Raphael said in a single word.I lowered my eyes."I didn't take a paternity test to know if this was true, so I didn't tell you."Raphael stared at me for a long time, then suddenly smiled, "You actually offered me to be your boyfriend just to get close to Micah and Essel, right? You already knew Ramon wasn't the father of the baby, but you favored thi

You said yesterday that you would help me keep this secret, but today Raphael knows!" Melany sneered, "He hates me so much now that he can't wait to break me into pieces. Aren't you so proud of yourself? But let me tell you, I won't let you have your way! If I die, I'll let Micah die with me. I'll make you and Raphael live in remorse for the rest of your liv

    Araceli POVThe night was getting late.The inner turmoil gradually ate away at me.Essel was sitting on the couch somewhat six-footed, staring out of the window with two blank eyes.Krish was sitting on the floor clutching his laptop. His fingers clicked quickly on the keyboard.After ten minutes, he looked up."Mommy, I found Micah. He's moving fast now and should be in a car."He tracked Micah's cell phone and was able to pinpoint Micah's location.I sent the location to my phone and stared at the map for a minute.I was getting more and more uneasy, as if a million ants were crawling inside."Why would Micah be at the docks so late?"The marina over there had once flourished, but now it was abandoned because the coastal environment was polluted.Not many people had been in that neighborhood for a long time after the factories moved away."Mommy, I feel bad..." Essel rubbed where her heart was. "I always feel as if

    Araceli POVAt the Royal Pack.Essel reached for her cell phone and dialed two numbers. I distinctly heard a mechanical, cold female voice coming from her cell phone saying that Micah's phone was off."What's Micah doing? Why isn't he answering his phone?"Essel said with some concern."Normally, Mr. Micah doesn't turn off his cell phone. This is weird."Maddox scratched his head. "Mr. Micah's cell phone doesn't turn off all year round. But he should be back soon. Maybe we should wait a little longer."I didn't know why, but I'd been feeling uneasy.This uneasy feeling even prevented me from calming down to make dinner for the kids.I pursed my lips and said, "Maddox, do you have Micah's assistant or secretary's number? Call it and ask."Maddox nodded and immediately dialed a number.The call was quickly answered. maddox chatted with the person on the other end of the line for a few moments and quickly hung up."Okay,

    Raphael POV"Raphael, I do love Essel and Micah, and you..."Melany paused and said, "Araceli can't love you at all. She approached you to take away Essel and Micah.You must stay away from Araceli! She'll get back at you for what happened five years ago..."I lifted my foot and stomped on Melany's calf bone.I didn't want to do this to a woman, but Melany was just too hateful. Even if I had one of my men beat her up instead of me, it wouldn't be able to quell my hatred."Raphael, you have to believe me. I have the recording to prove it!"Melany hurriedly and tremblingly picked up her cell phone.I frowned slightly.What recording?Soon, the recording began to play. I heard Araceli's voice."You don't like Raphael?""If it wasn't for the kids, I wouldn't have had any dealings with him at all..."Melany and Araceli's conversation came out clearly from the phone.Even though I already knew that Araceli's willingness to be

    Raphael POVI was downstairs in Creaty's office within ten minutes, but Araceli never came down, so I had to go to the office to find her.I was about to knock on the door when I heard her on the phone with someone, so I stood at the door and waited for her.After a while, I heard her say that Krish had gone for a paternity test and that I was his father.I froze completely.There was no way Araceli could have known I was at the door and she spoke in a somber and despondent tone.There was no way she was lying.That meant Araceli was Essel and Micah's real mother.It also meant that Melany had been lying to me...I clenched my fists, veins rippling in my hands, and quickly descended the stairs and drove as fast as I could towards Eclipse.The car quickly pulled up in front of Eclipse's villa.I violently pushed open the car door, got out, and approached the door with large strides.The servants immediately greeted me respectfully when they saw it

Is this true?"I froze."Eliezer, how do you know this?""The men I arranged for today found a shell casing when they were weeding your yard."Eliezer sighed and said, "Araceli, why don't you move back in with Grandma? It would be safer for you and the kids."I frowned and said, "Do
