Diego stopped by Freya's place after work, his sole intention to shed light on the adoption process, revealing how his lawyer had finalized the necessary documents and the significant role he would assume as Noah's father once the paperwork was officially processed.

However, he was aware that Freya might feel betrayed and angry. So he decided to take it easy and not explain everything at once.

In the living room, Freya and Diego settled into the couch together, watching TV. Diego wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her close while Freya snuggled into his chest, laughing at the sitcom on TV.

Just as the show reached its climax, Noah's hearty chuckles echoed from the next room, followed by the sound of toys crashing. The noise diverted their attention from the TV show and they exchanged uncertain glances.

“Sounds like someone needs attention”, Diego said to Freya, smiling warmly.

“Yeah, typical Noah. Let me go check up on him”, Freya said with a chuckle, starting to rise.

    Diego and Freya lay entwined in bed, reluctant to succumb to the morning's call. Their bodies relaxed in a tangle of sheets and blankets with Diego's arms wrapped tightly around Freya, holding her close as they savored the morning's warmth together. Freya's chestnut hair spilled across Diego's chest, and her gentle breathing synced with his. Morning sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a warm glow over Diego's luxurious bedroom. The city outside was slowly coming to life, the distant hum of traffic and chirping birds creating a gentle melody.

Slowly, she opened her eyes and propped herself up on an elbow, her gaze meeting Diego. Diego squinted at his phone screen and his expression tightened as he

The tinted windows shielded him from prying eyes, but couldn't block the turmoil brewing inside him.The first stage of the trial was over. And Diego knew the subsequent stages wouldn't be any easier. However, he steeled himself, prepared for battle. Good ultimately triumphs over evil. Diego believed that Desmond's sinister ways would one day catch up with him and he'd make a grave mistake against himself.As the car glided through the city streets, Diego's mind raced. The allegations and scandals weighed heavily on him. For a moment, he almost blamed himself for audaciously proceeding to adopt Noah without using due protocol. However, his mind reminded him of why he took the risk initially — Noah's well being. He couldn't bear to see Noah suffer from being in a broken home or experiencing lawsuits at such a young age. Plus, Noah was receiving threats from Desmond and that was the

    Diego savored the quiet morning moment, sipping his rich Colombian coffee at the dining table. The warm sunlight streaming through the window walls shone on his face and highlighted the dust motes dancing in the air.He sipped his steaming coffee absent-mindedly, his gaze fixed on a point ahead. With each sip he took, he let out a deep exasperated sigh.Then suddenly, his phone buzzed on the glass table, shattering the serenity and pulling him out of his thoughts. It was a notification from his office. A knot of discomfort formed in his insides as he read the message: "Emergency meeting scheduled. Your presence is required. Board Secretary."Diego's grip on the coffee cup tightened, his mind racing with questions and possibilities. That didn't seem like a routine meeting. Calling for an emergency meeting so early in the morning was so suspicious, especially the fact that they had to send him a special message without waiting for him to arrive at work first.

    The trial day had finally arrived. The courtroom stood silent, its sterile air thick with anticipation. The judge's bench loomed at the front, a raised platform of authority. The walls, adorned with the symbols of justice, appeared to bear the weight of the impending trial. The room's stillness was oppressive, and the clock on the wall ticked away, each passing second heightening the tension. Suddenly, the doors swung open and Diego stepped majestically into the courtroom, flanked by his legal team, including his lawyer, Attorney Anthonia. Diego wore a shallow mask of confidence; his smile seemed like an expression he had rehearsed for hours. His jet-black longish hair was neatly trimmed and styled and his tailored suit seemed to hug his broad shoulders, but his gray eyes betrayed a hint of nervousness. His gaze swept the room, his jaw clenched. Letting out a deep sigh, Diego and his legal team took their seats at the defendant's table, awaiting the arrival of the other party

    Diego stood over Desmond, his jaw clenched with controlled fury. The bastard in front of him was already bleeding, his face pale from blood loss, but Diego didn’t care. Not after what he had done. Not after the torment he had put his loved ones through. It was only right that he put an end to their problems by pulling one trigger.“Desmond Hugo July. You don't have much time left. Still got something to say?” Diego asked, his grip tightening around the gun.Desmond shook his head, his lips curling in disdain. “You're not scary, Diego. Stop this nonsense,” he snarled, his face contorted in a scowl.Before Desmond could think, Diego darted toward him and grabbed him by the collar, yanking him up. Violently, he slammed him against the cold concrete wall. Desmond grunted in pain, his wounded arm nearly giving out under the pressure. Diego didn't spare him the chance to recover, his fist pounded Desmond's face twice with relentless fury.He grasped Desmond's collar tightly, firmly pinning

    The dark warehouse felt suffocating as Desmond’s rage filled the air. He moved toward Freya, his eyes burning with intense resentment. Each step he took echoed through the warehouse, fueling his fury.He had expected Freya to recoil in fear, as he was now the one who called the shots. However, Freya didn't move. She fixed him with a deadly stare, her expression unyielding.“Let me warn you, Freya, just in case you've forgotten. I have your life in my hands at this point. Your life depends on me. So if you think being stubborn is gonna save you, I'll remind you why you had feared me for many years.”Freya stared hard at Desmond for a few seconds, shaking her head in disbelief. Then she let out a short, scornful chuckle, tilting her head back.Noah watched silently, swallowing hard to suppress the fear swirling within him. His eyes were red-rimmed and glassy, his hands trembling.Desmond let out an angry snort, his face hot with rage. The audacity of Freya to laugh in a situation like t

    Diego stepped off the private flight, smiling excitedly as he descended the stairs onto the tarmac. New York’s crisp air met him like an old acquaintance, the sharp bite of autumn wrapping around him as he adjusted his coat. He exhaled slowly, his breath visible in the cold, his mind already drifting to the people he couldn’t wait to see. He had informed them of his visit to New York that morning, but still had this urge to surprise Freya at her workplace. Or rather, Noah at school. However, he decided to get to his penthouse first.As he walked through the private terminal, he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone, his thumb instinctively unlocking the screen. He expected to see a message, a missed call, or a simple acknowledgment that Freya knew he was back. But the screen was devoid of any notifications.That was strange. Freya always called when he traveled. Even if she was busy, there would be a quick text—a "Safe flight?" or "When will you land?" Something. But today

    A sudden torrent of water crashed against Freya’s face, jolting her from a haze of darkness. The cold droplets cascaded over her face, mingling with the lingering taste of chemicals, and for a heartbeat, she wasn’t sure whether she was awake or still trapped in a nightmare. Her eyes fluttered open and she blinked rapidly, trying to clear the haze from her vision, only to register that she was bound to a creaking wooden chair.The dim glow of harsh overhead lights revealed the grim scene around her—an abandoned room, a hefty man with a stern expression standing above her, holding an empty bucket. The air was heavy with dampness and the acrid scent of mildew.Beside her, Noah stirred, his small frame similarly restrained to his chair. His wide eyes, full of confusion and terror, darted about as he tried to make sense of their surroundings. His hair, face, and clothes were dripping wet as well.Freya's eyes widened in surprise, and she squirmed in discomfort, trying to free herself from

    The afternoon sun cast a warm glow over the school grounds as Freya stepped out of her car, smoothing her dress as she closed the door behind her. Her driver remained inside as usual, waiting patiently as she made her way toward the school entrance. Normally, Noah would come running out on his own, but today, she felt like walking in to get him, just like old times when he was very little.It wasn’t just about picking him up—it was about the little moments. Seeing him at his desk, watching him interact with his classmates, hearing his excited chatter before they even reached the car. She loved those moments. They were the things that strengthened her resolve to protect him.The school hallways bustled with students and teachers wrapping up their day. Freya navigated her way through, nodding politely at a few teachers who recognized her. When she reached Noah’s classroom, she found him still at his desk, stuffing papers into his backpack with a look of intense focus. An excited smile

    The scent of cinnamon and vanilla filled Freya's luxurious home as warm candlelight flickered along the walls. A soft jazz melody played in the background, blending harmoniously with the sound of Noah’s laughter. The large dining area was set with care—gold-rimmed plates, tall glasses of sparkling apple cider, and a chocolate cake in the center of the table.Freya stood by the counter, watching as Diego leaned down to help Noah light the candles on the cake. Noah’s face was practically glowing, his excitement bubbling over as he giggled at Diego’s exaggerated instructions.“Alright, buddy,” Diego said, his voice playful. “Steady hands. We don’t want to set the house on fire.”Noah rolled his eyes dramatically. “I got this!” He carefully placed the last candle and stepped back with a satisfied grin.Freya felt something warm spread through her chest, and a soft, genuine smile lit up her face. This was their moment. Their victory.Desmond was gone. She was divorced. And she was finally

    “Help!” Desmond yelled, his husky, panicked voice echoing through the space.He struggled against the ropes once more, his disheveled hair falling recklessly across his face. Sweat beaded on his brows, crawling down his face and soaking his entire shirt.Desmond let out a frustrated sigh as he scanned the empty space in horror. The warehouse was suffocating in its silence. The only sounds were the rhythmic dripping of water from a leaking pipe and his own ragged breaths.Despite his desperate state, however, his mind burned with fury.Freya.She had done this to him. Humiliated him. Stolen his power. And worse—she had left him here like he was nothing.He couldn't believe she had the heart to abandon him in such a terrible place. What if he died?With a deep breath, he summoned the last of his strength and let out one more desperate shout.“I'm in here! Help me!” His throat was raw from screaming, his voice now reduced to little more than a rasp.He had lost track of time—hours, maybe

    Diego stopped a few feet away, tilting his head. A sly smile was plastered on his face, and he locked hands with Freya, who mirrored his smile."Well, well," he mused, his voice laced with satisfaction. "What do we have here?”In unison, Freya and Diego laughed, deliberately jeering at Desmond. Diego shook his head, reveling in Desmond's misery.“We finally meet again. After a long while”, he went on, his grip on Freya's hand tightening possessively. “But this time, I'm the one laughing and you…whatever this is.” He shoved his hands in the air, making mocking gestures at Desmond, while staring at him in a condescending manner. Desmond's face was contorted with rage, but he said nothing.“I have to say, Desmond—I never thought I’d see the day," Diego added.Desmond’s fists clenched, his eyes blazing with hatred and rage. He couldn't take the insults anymore. Enough was enough. "You son of a…""Careful," Diego cut in smoothly, a vicious glint in his eyes. "You're not exactly in a posit

    Desmond went still. He stared down the barrel of the gun, his breath coming hard and fast. The metallic scent of the warehouse mixed with the faint oiliness of the weapon, the cold steel mere inches from his forehead.Freya's eyes pierced deep into his soul, her hand steady, unwavering. Her expression was sterner than before, her jaw stiff with determination. There wasn’t a hint of hesitation in her stance, not a flicker of doubt in her eyes. She didn't seem angry. She was unnervingly calm, and that was what unsettled Desmond.For the first time since this confrontation began, he felt something creeping into his chest, something foreign—fear.She meant it. This wasn't a bluff.Freya raised a brow slightly, her voice smooth, almost bored as she spoke.“Why don't you spare your life and sign these?” she mused, nodding towards the divorce papers beside him. “Losing your life while I still get the separation I need to move on is gonna be a win-win for me.”Desmond swallowed hard, his Ada
