Ben, with his heart pounding, rushed to check the attic after hearing something strange coming from there. The faint sounds from above seemed to call him to act. He quickly found a locked door, which appeared to be hiding something behind it. Without thinking twice, Ben prepared to break it down.

With a strong kick, the door burst open. The old wooden door shattered with a loud crash that echoed through the attic. Everyone—Isabella and Rose, who were behind him—stood still for a moment, shocked by what they saw inside.

There, sitting in the corner of a small, gloomy room, was Irene. She looked exhausted and thin, but the most shocking thing was that she was nursing a baby. Earphones were plugged into her ears, as if trying to escape the reality around her. When the door opened, Irene jerked in surprise, turning with eyes full of fear, before quickly removing her earphones.

“Irene…” whispered Isabella, her voice hoarse with disbelief at what she was seeing.

Ben didn’t wait any longer.

Nicholas asked softly, his tone full of concern.Irene sighed, her eyes glancing at Selena, still sleeping soundly in her arms. "I'm... still struggling. There are days when I fe

    Sarah sat down in front of Felix's desk, her eyes focused on the man in front of her, who appeared calm despite the tense atmosphere between them. She had just informed Felix that she had filed for divorce from Louis—a difficult decision but one she believed was the only way to be with Felix again.However, Felix's response was far from what she had expected."I don’t want to continue this relationship, Sarah," Felix said in a flat, almost emotionless tone. "Our relationship is over, and I don’t want us to go back to how things were."Sarah was taken aback by Felix's words, her eyes widening in shock. "What do you mean, Felix? Do you know how much I've sacrificed for this? I left Louis... for us. For a second chance at us."Felix took a deep breath before looking at Sarah with a serious expression. "I know, Sarah, and I appreciate what you've done. But I've made my decision. I'm going to London, and I won’t be coming back to New York."Sarah's face instantly paled, her entire body fee

Before Isabella could react, the car door opened, and Rudolf stepped out with quick strides and a determined expression.“Irene!” Rudolf shouted coldly and threateningly as he rushed toward her.Irene froze in place, too shocked to move. “Rudolf? What are you doing here?!” Her voice trembled with deep fear.Sensing danger, Isabella sprang into action, but before she could do anything, Rudolf roughly dragged Irene into the car. “You’re coming with me, Irene. Now!” he commanded, ignoring Irene’s growing panic and pr

When he entered, all eyes were on him."Isabella!" Rose called, rushing to hug her daughter with a sense of relief. "What about Irene?"Isabella shook her head weakly, looking deeply regretful. "I don’t know what Rudolf is planning, but I’m afraid he’s going to do something worse to her."Felix looked at Isabella seriously, trying to offer as much calm as he could. "Don’t worry, Isabella. We’ll find her. I’ll ask Kevin to track Rudolf’s car. We saw his license plate, so that can be a clue."Isabella nodded quickly. "Yes, I saw it before his car disappeared. He might have even switched cars by now."Felix immed

    Rudolf pulled Irene out of the car, which he had deliberately arranged from a friend outside the city. Irene struggled, trying to resist with what little strength she had left. However, Rudolf was a man, and his strength was clearly greater than Irene's."Let me go! Please, let me go!"No. Rudolf didn’t let her go. Instead, he roughly dragged Irene into a house deep in the forest. It wasn’t the same place that Kevin had successfully tracked down. Rudolf had swapped cars halfway through the journey, changing it according to his plan, and left his phone in an abandoned house to mislead Isabella and Felix’s pursuit. It had all been carefully planned.When Rudolf reached a room, he threw Irene onto the bed. Irene’s breath caught, and she suddenly lost focus, overwhelmed by the fear flooding her chest. She raised her hands, staring at Rudolf, pleading."Don’t do this!"Rudolf grabbed Irene’s hair, causing her to wince in pain. "Do you think you can leave me? No, darling. You will always be

Many mourners had come to pay their respects to the departed, but Isabella could barely focus on anyone. Her mind was too burdened by the recent loss she had experienced.Among the crowd, Nicholas and Felix stood not far from Isabella. Nicholas glanced at Felix, his eyes narrowing in confusion and slight irritation. He knew Felix was supposed to be in London, starting a new life away from all the drama in New York. Yet here was Felix, calm and present at this important event for Isabella.Nicholas approached Felix, his voice low but with a growl. "Why are you here, Felix? Aren't you supposed to be handling your business in London? I thought you'd left."Felix looked at Nicholas without emotion, though there was something faint behind his eyes. "I changed my mind," he replied briefly, as if he didn

    Felix sat at the dining table, staring at Isabella who was seated across from him. The atmosphere between them was tense, filled with unspoken burdens. Felix couldn’t take his eyes off Isabella, even though he knew that what he was about to say might worsen the situation. But he couldn’t hide his intentions any longer."Isabella," Felix finally spoke, his voice soft but firm. "I need to talk to you about something important. About us."Isabella looked at him with tired eyes, trying to understand what Felix was about to say. "What do you mean, Felix?" she asked, frowning, unprepared for a serious conversation, especially after the funeral and all the emotional weight she had been carrying.Felix took a deep breath, preparing himself. "I’ve ended my relationship with Sarah."Isabella stared at Felix in shock. Sarah, the woman who had been part of Felix's life for the past few years, was no longer by his side.

But there was still something he needed to resolve before he could truly move forward.He knew that Sarah, the woman from his past, needed him more than ever.

    Nicholas met Isabella at the park. She was wearing a white, knee-length dress with open shoulders, making her look elegant yet simple. She smiled as she saw Nicholas approaching, holding two cups of iced coffee. The soft afternoon sun cast a golden glow on the falling maple leaves, making them shimmer."For you," Isabella said, handing Nicholas one of the iced coffees. "I figured you’d need this after such a long day."Nicholas smiled as he took the coffee and sat down next to her on the bench. "Thanks. You’re right, it’s been a tiring day," he replied with a relieved tone.They sat in comfortable silence for a moment, enjoying the tranquility of the park. Isabella sipped her coffee, then broke the silence with heartfelt sincerity. "I really want to thank you, Nicholas.

"But you don’t have to do that."Nicholas leaned back in his chair, raising an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"Felix looked directly at Nicholas, without hesitation. "I’m going to London.

    As he reached the intersection, Felix noticed a black car parked by the roadside. Inside, a man in a leather jacket sat waiting, his expression unreadable. It was Kevin, the informant who had been helping Felix gather information about Rudolf. Felix turned off his engine and stepped out. The cold air immediately stung his skin, but he ignored it. Under the light drizzle, Kevin also exited his car, and they faced each other at the side of the road."Felix," Kevin greeted briefly, pulling up the collar of his jacket against the chilly wind. "I have news."Felix gave a sharp nod. "Tell me."Kevin slid a hand into his jacket pocket, retrieving his phone, and showed Felix a message. "We’ve found Rudolf. We tracked him to the outskirts of town, hiding in an old motel. He’s planning to flee the city tonight."Felix narrowed his eyes, his body tense. "What is he carrying?""Evidence," Kevin replied with a serious expression. "Documents and photos linking him to Irene’s murder. It seems he’s t
