The weeks following the successful playdate saw even more progress in Lucas. His confidence grew steadily, and he began to thrive not just at daycare but also at home. He laughed more, shared his thoughts openly, and no longer hesitated to express his feelings. Leon and I couldn’t have been prouder.

One evening, as Leon returned from his office, he handed me an envelope with the daycare's logo on it. "This came in the mail today," he said, raising an eyebrow.

I opened it, curiosity bubbling within me. Inside was a beautifully handwritten letter from Lucas’s teacher, Mrs. Ellison:

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Kwartz,

I wanted to personally reach out to commend the remarkable progress Lucas has made over the past few weeks. His enthusiasm, kindness, and leadership in the classroom have been inspiring. Recently, he even took it upon himself to comfort a classmate who was feeling left out, demonstrating empathy far beyond his years.

Thank you for being such supportive and loving parents. Lucas is a

    Life had finally settled into a rhythm of peace and hope. Lucas’s laughter filled our home once more, a sound that had been sorely missed. Between his art classes, playdates with Tomas, and the ever-growing bond we shared as a family, it felt like we were finally healing from everything that had once threatened to tear us apart.Then one sunny morning, Leon dropped a bombshell—albeit a good one.I was in the kitchen making breakfast, flipping pancakes while Lucas sat at the counter, coloring in a new superhero drawing he’d started. Whiskers sat curled up at Lucas’s feet, occasionally glancing up with hopeful eyes that some pancake crumbs might fall his way.Leon walked in, unusually chipper, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Morning, my loves," he said, kissing the top of Lucas’s head before coming over to plant a soft kiss on my cheek."Morning," I replied, smiling at him as I slid a pancake onto Lucas’s plate.

    The morning of our departure arrived sooner than I expected.I had barely finished packing when Leon walked into our bedroom, a smirk tugging at his lips as he watched me struggle to zip up my suitcase. "Need help?" he asked, amusement flickering in his eyes.I huffed and threw him a half-hearted glare. "I got it."Lucas ran into the room, clutching his stuffed panda. "Mama, Papa! Are we really going to Japan today?"I ruffled his dark hair, smiling down at him. "Yes, sweetheart. Are you excited?"He nodded enthusiastically. "Yes! I want to see ninjas and samurais!"Leon chuckled. "We might even get you a little ninja outfit."Lucas gasped in excitement and jumped onto the bed. I couldn't help but smile at their exchange, though the nagging thought in my head remained—why was Leon so insistent on this trip? It felt so sudden, and though I loved the idea of a vacation, something told me there was more to it.We arrived at the airport without a hitch. Leon had booked first-class seats,

    The tension in the air was thick, lingering like an unshakable storm cloud. Ever since our confrontation with Sandra Murphy, I had a sinking feeling that things were far from over. Leon’s revelation that Kent might be working with someone powerful made my stomach twist with unease.That someone could very well be Sandra.It made perfect sense—her wealth, her connections, and her entitled nature. If Kent had found a way to get her on his side, then we weren’t just dealing with a playground bully. We were dealing with something far bigger.That night, I barely got any sleep, my mind running through countless possibilities. I had spent so long fighting for justice, for my family’s safety. I couldn’t let anyone—especially someone like Sandra—undermine everything I had built.The next morning, I decided to dig deeper. I wasn’t just going to sit around and wait for Sandra or Kent to make their move. If they were working together, I needed to find proof.With Leon at work, I dropped Lucas of

    The room remained silent for a moment, heavy with the weight of what Lillian had just revealed. My mind raced, processing the implications of the forged document. Justin wasn’t just trying to intimidate me—he was trying to erase my claim entirely, to make it look like I had given up willingly.I clenched my fists, my pulse pounding in my ears. “How did you get this?” I asked, my voice steadier than I felt.Lillian exhaled sharply, pulling out a USB drive from her pocket and placing it on the table. “An informant within Justin’s circle leaked these to me. They overheard him discussing his next steps—he’s preparing to launder the stolen assets and shift everything offshore. If we don’t act now, your parents’ properties will be out of reach forever.”Uncle George muttered another curse under his breath. Aunt Lou, pale and shaken, placed a protective hand over mine. “What do we do now?” she asked, looking at me as if I had the answers.I swallowed hard, then turned to Lillian. “Do we have

    The silence in the house wasn’t peace. It was the kind that hummed before a storm, like the breath the earth holds before lightning strikes.It was barely past seven. Leon had taken Elijah and Caleb out for ice cream, partly to give me a moment of rest, partly to shake off the tension none of us wanted to name. I sat alone in the living room of our new home—our temporary fortress—holding the letter Christian Vance had sent, my fingers brushing its torn wax seal again and again.He knew.I didn't know what exactly, but it was enough to unearth the bones of a history we’d spent years trying to bury.The windows rattled softly as the wind picked up outside. I wrapped my arms around myself. My belly, already firm and rounded, shifted with the slight flutter of our daughter’s movements. She always kicked when I was anxious—like she could feel the storm in me.“You’re safe,” I whispered to her, resting my hand against the curve of my bump. “You’re going to be safe.”The front door opened qu

    We had heard of him, of course. Anyone who read financial papers or watched market news did. The sharp-tongued tycoon who’d climbed the corporate ladder with bloody fingers. He was all steel suits, scandalous acquisitions, and the kind of gaze that could unsettle even the most confident businessman.When his yacht anchored off the neighboring island, Leon’s posture changed. Gone was the relaxed man who napped in hammocks and tossed coconuts to our sons. He stood by the window that evening, fingers curled tightly around his glass of whiskey, staring at the horizon like it had betrayed him.“Do you know him?” I asked gently.Leon didn’t answer immediately. “I knew of him. Years ago, we were both candidates for a massive joint venture in Europe. I walked away. He didn’t. He won… and lost half his investors by the following quarter.”“Why is he here?”Leon turned to face me. “That’s the question keeping me awake.”It started small. Strange boats circled our island. Drones hovered far too

    I stood barefoot on the damp sand, the wind weaving through my hair like invisible fingers, the sea humming a lullaby that had become the heartbeat of our peaceful island life. Leon stood beside me, his hand resting on the curve of my growing belly. It had become our evening ritual, watching the sunset together, our two kids—Isla and Theo—laughing somewhere behind us, chasing each other with sticks and seashells.I closed my eyes for a moment, letting the sound of the waves steady my heart. This place—this little paradise Leon bought for our third child—had become more than a retreat. It was a dream he turned into a promise. But even dreams, I had come to learn, were fragile."She kicked again," I said softly.Leon turned, his eyes lighting up. He dropped to his knees and pressed his ear against my belly. "Hey, little one. You trying to tell us something?"I laughed, running my fingers through his hair. We had built a world here—away from pain, betrayal, and danger. For nearly a year,

    When we stepped back into the rhythm of Anacortes, it wasn’t like slipping into an old coat—it was like walking into a haunted house. Familiar, yes, but every corner creaked with memories and shadows.Leon drove us home from the precinct in silence. One hand on the wheel, the other draped protectively over my knee, as if touching me could anchor him—and maybe, in a way, it did.“I’m not going to let him near them,” he finally said, breaking the silence as we passed through the old business district. “Christian Vance. I don’t care how many aliases he uses or how far his reach goes. I’ll burn everything he’s built if it means keeping you and the kids safe.”“I know,” I said, watching the reflection of our car lights ripple across the shop windows. “But we need to be smart about this. He’s already several steps ahead.”“And we’ll catch up,” Leon said, jaw tight.Back at the estate, Aunt Lou met us at the door with Lucas in her arms and Elias trailing behind, eyes sleepy but curious.“Was

    The next twenty-four hours unfolded like a twisted thriller novel—one where every moment felt more surreal than the last.Leon doubled the patrols and locked down the main house with a level of precision that made me feel both safe and deeply unsettled. We weren’t just protecting Angela and Riley anymore; we were protecting our entire family, our children, and the unborn life growing inside me. I absentmindedly touched my belly throughout the day—our third child, already making their presence known in subtle kicks and flutters.Leon noticed, of course. He always noticed.“You okay?” he asked quietly that afternoon, his arm curling protectively around my waist as we stood by the nursery window, watching Isla and the twins playing with their nannies in the garden below.“I don’t know,” I admitted. “I want to be. I should be. But Victoria… she’s like a shadow. I can feel her even when she’s not there.”Leon didn’t speak right away. Instead, he pressed a kiss to my temple and rested his h

    Days passed in a blur of uncertainty. Leon worked late into the night, organizing security measures, making phone calls. He reached out to his contacts in Anacortes, hoping to get a lead on the source of the letter. Meanwhile, I tried to keep things normal for the children. I kept the island life as idyllic as possible, determined not to let the shadow of the unknown consume us completely.But the truth was, I couldn’t ignore it. Not anymore.It wasn’t just Riley and Angela we had to worry about—it was us, too. And I couldn’t shake the feeling that this was only the beginning of something far worse.The morning the helicopter arrived, I knew something had changed.Leon had arranged for a private security team to monitor the island, just in case. The sound of the helicopter’s blades cutting through the air had become an all-too-familiar noise. But this time, when it landed, it wasn’t just the usual security team.It was Riley and Angela.And they didn’t look like the carefree couple th

    The days that followed Victoria’s arrest felt like exhaling after holding our breath for far too long. Riley and Angela stayed on the island for a while longer, though it was clear they needed to forge a new chapter of their own. Angela had begun smiling again, truly smiling—without fear shadowing her eyes. Riley, too, softened. He built sandcastles with Liam and Lila, cooked with Leon, and talked with me late into the evening, often about forgiveness and starting over.And just like that, they left. Quietly, one morning, before the sun rose. A handwritten note on the kitchen table read:"Thank you for giving us this time, this place, and this chance to be free again. We’ll never forget it. Love, Riley & Angela."I folded the note and placed it in the drawer beside my bedside table, next to the ultrasound photo of our third child.Yes, our third. I was five months along by then—round and glowing, Leon would say, with that teasing smirk of his. Truthfully, I felt more like a sleepy, wa

    One Month LaterPeace. Real, actual peace.It settled on our shoulders like a soft shawl, wrapping us in warmth we’d long forgotten existed. Riley and Angela decided to stay on the island for a few more weeks to heal, but soon they were talking about moving to a quieter part of Europe to start fresh. With Victoria behind bars and no more shadows to run from, they deserved that clean slate.As for us… we were starting to dream again.Life slowed into soft routines. Mornings began with giggles from Liam and Lila as they climbed into bed with us, demanding pancake breakfasts and treasure hunts on the beach. Isla—our tiny, perfect miracle—was thriving, always cooing and gurgling, her smile lighting up the room.And then came the moment.I was standing in the garden behind the cottage, barefoot on the grass, Isla napping in a basket under the shade while the twins dug in the sand nearby. Leon came out, holding something behind his back.“Close your eyes,” he said, grinning.I rolled mine a
