Chapter 244 Eva's point of view I sat on Sara's couch, my hands shaking as I held the photos Martha had given Max. Each image felt like a knife in my heart, Max at that bar, Max with her, Max kissing her. The evidence of his night with another woman spread across my lap like daggers. "I can't br
Eva's point of view The morning sun poured through the kitchen windows as I tried to make breakfast like everything was normal. My hands trembled while spreading peanut butter on James's sandwich, the knife scraping too hard against the bread. "Mommy, you're breaking it," James pointed out. I st
Max point of view I stared at the DNA results until the letters blurred into meaningless shapes. A knock at my door made me jump. "Mr. Graves?" My assistant's voice trembled. "Mrs. Graves is here." Eva. My heart stopped. She walked in, and the sight of her knocked the breath from my lungs. Dark

Max point of view I stared at the thick envelope on my desk, the law firm's name embossed in gold letters. My hands shook as I opened it, though I already knew what I'd find. "Mr. Graves?" My assistant's voice crackled through the intercom. "Your lawyer is here." Thomas Chen walked in, his face
Thomas Chen, my lawyer, straightened his tie. "Mr. Kane." "Let's skip the pleasantries," Kane smiled, all teeth. "We're here to discuss Mr. Brown's obligations to his son." My throat tightened at the word 'son'. Martha sat across from me, perfectly groomed, watching me like a cat with a mouse. "F
Max point of view I found Eva in our home office, papers spread across her desk. The look she gave me was colder than I'd ever seen. "The lawyers sent everything," she said, her voice arctic. "Their demands. The trust fund. The visitation schedules." "Eva..." "Fifty thousand dollars a month." S
Chapter 343 Sara's Point of View The email to Versace sat drafted on my laptop, cursor blinking accusingly. Two simple words that could change everything: "I decline." My finger hovered over the send button when Josh burst into my room, waving a paper printout. "What is this?" His voice cracked
Chapter 342 The mansion's lights glowed warmly as Josh pulled up the long driveway, Sara's hand clasped tightly in his. Through the windows, they could see small faces pressed against the glass, waiting. "They haven't moved from that spot since you left," Helena's voice carried from the front step

Josh's Point of View The garden's night-blooming jasmine filled the air with sweetness as I paced between rose bushes. Something felt different tonight, the weight of Marcus's threats mysteriously lifted, leaving me oddly unbalanced. Like a prisoner suddenly finding his cell door unlocked. "We nee
The trap was set in Helena's private office, every detail meticulously planned. Max's security team monitored feeds from hidden cameras while William stood ready with legal documents. Eva kept watch through the mansion's security system, making sure Josh remained occupied with the quadruplets' "emer
"Including whatever happened at Danny's Bar," Eva added quietly. Helena's fingers tightened on her chair arms. "That night is buried for good reason." "Clearly not buried deep enough," William observed. "The question is: how do we handle this without making things worse?" "I have contacts in the
Chapter 338 "Uncle Josh is in trouble," Mia announced, her small face unusually serious as she burst into Eva's study. Her brothers tumbled in after her, all wearing matching expressions of concern. Eva looked up from her paperwork, noting their agitation. "What makes you say that, sweetheart?" "
