2025-01-13 09:16:09Heavy and large steps, Ashley crossed the distance between her and Nanny Doris. She held her trembling shoulders and shook it lightly as she asked in a hoarse voice. “Where’s my son?”
The same hospital. The same hallway. The same looks of people surrounding her. Everything overlapped with that wretched day when she lost what she treasured the most but realized it too late.
Her head was buzzing. Her vision seemed as if everything was focused on the ground she was walking on while everything else was nothing but blurry images. And she felt as if her skin was as cold as winter ice even when her sweat seemed to drench the back of her blouse.
The hallway she treaded through felt like an endless spiral staircase with no end in sight while the walls seemed to squash her in between, leaving her breathless.
Ashley did not know how a seemingly ordinary day could turn something like a nightmar

“Ashley, I am talking to you.”Ashley’s jaws tightened. She closed her eyes for a moment to calm her raging anger before she opened them as if nothing had happened. She did not look back to look at him when she answered: “You don’t even have the rights to ask anything about my son right now, you know. So shut up and don’t wake him up.”Silence answered Ashley. For her, this was not the right place for them to have some tit for tat. For once, they should put Scottie before anything—before any animosity. At least not now…Jaxon seemed to understand Ashley’s train of thoughts. He took the chair next to Ashley, his solemn eyes pinned on his son. Despite this, no one could see what was inside his complex mind. And Ashley did not want to know either.The quasi couple spent almost an hour without a word between them.

Not minding the sharp gaze pinned on her for a split second, Ashley merely smiled sweetly at him before she looked away and said ‘next’, waiting for the next question to be thrown at her. According to the number of questions allocated per cast member, this should be the last reporter that would ask her.Although the entire hall was in a buzzed after seeing ‘the’ Jaxon Elijah standing among them, the press conference must go on. Trying hard to look away from the man, who merely stood with his hands inside his coat’s pockets, the press people could not help but marvel at the air of nobility and dominance leaking from him even when he did basically nothing—this was the man in-charged of the biggest company in the country!Such an existence was the husband of the woman who was dubbed as the artist with most scandals!

“Jaxon, before you claim to be a father, you have to bear the responsibility it carries. The basic ones…at least. When you let that woman come in between you and Scottie, you already lost the qualification to be a father.”Ashley pulled away her hand from his, never feeling any nostalgia from its warmth. Her eyes were biting cold as she stared straight into his deep eyes. Her hot breath fanned over his chin with their hairbreadth distance before she took a step away from him the next second.“As a mother, I am also responsible for this. I let my self-interest came first, not fully understanding Scottie, forgetting he is just a small kid. I, as a mother, am not qualified either to call you names.” Ashley smiled bitterly at Jaxon. “But with this incident as an example, I am willing to put up with this broken marriage for my son. I admit…I pushed and pushed the divorce because I can’t wait to be

“Mommy?”Ashley, who was arranging her son’s little cabinet, looked back and smiled. “Good morning, sleepyhead.” She stood up, scooped him up from his favorite blanket, and rained kisses on him, eliciting a fit of laughter from Scottie that sounded like an angel’s lullaby for Ashley.“Good morning, Mommy!”Seeing him energetic again, as if what happened yesterday was nothing but a cruel illusion, Ashley could not help but cherish this moment event more.A child’s memory was not as strong as an adult. With him being slight feverish yesterday, Scottie almost forgot his heartbreaking meltdown until he saw his familiar suitcase, clothes, gadgets, and toys around the room. Suddenly, the subconsciously hidden memories flooded his mind.Ashley felt him stiffen in her arms. Seeing his gaze fixated on the shelf she just finished arrang

Vulcan Elijah looked deeply into Ashley’s eyes. Indeed. She was dead serious. She was one of those people who would die for their children—like his late wife. He was a businessman all his life but he only had one fear—desperate mothers.He once had an argument with his wife. It was because his son was admonished pretty badly by him to the point that the pressure the next few weeks caused him to be hospitalized. His son—Jaxon’s father—was raised by his late wife. Hence, he grew up a romantic who pursued happiness over trivial things and simplicity over power. For him, his son was not the perfect helmsman of his legacy. So, he made sure to sculpt Jaxon as someone who would be perfect to lead Elijah Consortium—he was so perfect that it eliminated all of Vulcan’s imperfections.Through Jaxon, his grandson, he created a better version of himself—the best businessman with only profits and contr

Noting the private restaurant’s location, she arrived after thirty minutes.The place offered was known in the capital as the hub where famous and influential people usually went for private dealings and meals due to its very tight security.

“Why are you so freakingly calm?”Dylan finally could not hold it in when the door of the nanny van closed and the vehicle moved. This was the question that kept on spiraling in his mind. He was picturing out how he would calm Ashley down, but it turned out that he was the one who should be calmed! Did the universe turn in the wrong direction today? Was he dreaming? What?!Ashley, who was typing something in her phone, looked up. She chuckled upon seeing the almost-constipated look on Dylan’s face.

“Wow! You are really glowing!” Dylan exclaimed in exaggeration as soon as Ashley entered the nanny van. He only noticed it clearly when she was near him, maybe because Ashley was leaning to a clean and minimalist yet elegant look for tonight.The driver was a veteran found by Jaxon and there was another veteran seated on the shotgun seat. Apart from Momo, Dylan, and Ashley, there was no one at the backseat—it was to the minimal. But looking outside the bullet-proofed nanny van especially configured by Jaxon for this night, there were two cars before the van while there were another two tailing behind them. And those people inside those black tinted cars were all sporting the latest technology of armaments and heavy firepower weapons under the sponsorship of the Elijah Family to the military department’s research and development laboratory.Dylan, whose attention was divided by Ashley—his money making cash cow—and the driver’s arms under those fitted suits, finally noticed something.“

I will sign the divorce agreement and convince my grandfather that you will have full custody to our son, just please, please…I am begging you, Ashley. Let me protect you and our son.”Ashley’s anger was palpable in her eyes. closing her eyes tightly, she turned around and wiped the tears on her face. She pointed the door and said: “Leave…” Sighing, she continued: “Let me think things through.”A staggering breath of relief escaped from Jaxon’s lips. He closed his eyes for a moment, hiding the turbulent emotions in them as he whispered: “Alright.”As Jaxon left, he entered his study once more.The silence of the study room did not give him comfort. He held the armrests of his wheelchair and stood up with much difficulty. He had to hold the wall and rely on the strength of his feet to support his legs and u

By the fourth time, she finally snapped at Izana.“Where to?” Izana drove slowly as if he was just driving in a countryside. His left hand on the stirring wheel while his other hand held Talia’s hand. Coupled with his gentle voice, the indifference in his words was directly muted.But Talia was not buying it anymore.“Back to my villa, where else?!” Talia was almost shrieking right now. “Are you hiding something from me?! You are so sketchy!”Izana merely smiled at her. One mere glance from him and the words that were about to come out from Talia’s lips were swallowed back on instinct. She buried herself on her seat and backed herself away against the car door. She somehow felt that something dangerous was about to happen.Izana nodded in satisfaction after seeing this.
