**Hannah's POV**

Emma must not know, right? That her being alive at all is a crime. I mumbled to myself, my gaze fixed on my husband, lying asleep on the hospital bed, tangled in tubes and wires, oblivious to everything. I took another bite of the apple, pressing my fork deeper into its flesh with each bite.

“How she survived that fire… I don’t know,” I muttered, my voice barely audible. My fingers clenched around the fork as I pierced another piece. “But even if she did… she should have stayed hidden, tucked away in that orphanage where she belonged.” I bit down hard, relishing the snap of the apple as if it could somehow absorb my anger.

I stood up, placing the empty plate on the table beside him, watching as he lay there, utterly defenseless. The memory of Emma’s endless, needy glances surfaced in my mind—how she always tried to catch my attention, pretending she wanted nothing. *Just like her mother,* I thought, clenching my teeth. *So innocent, so self-sacrificing.

    **Emma’s POV**I awoke slowly, my eyes adjusting to the dim light in my room. The first thing I saw was Amory, sitting beside my bed on a small stool, his gaze soft but unwavering.“Amory…?” I groaned, my voice hoarse as I attempted to sit up. “What… what are you doing here?”A small smile appeared on his face. “I’ve been thinking about what you asked me. About why you went through all that. But even after a whole night of trying, I still can’t come up with anything. You didn’t deserve any of it.”He looked down at my hand resting on the bed, and he gently placed his hand over mine, his touch grounding me. “Emma, you were just a child. You didn’t do anything wrong, not one thing.” His voice was soft yet sincere, and I felt a swell of strength returning.I squeezed his hand in gratitude. “Thank you, Amory.”He looked into my eyes, encouragingly. “Go to Chairman Henry. Ask him why he did this. Demand answers, Emma. You have the right.”As the day turned to afternoon, I dressed and made

Why would Foden, of all people, help us, especially while he’s working for Hannah? There had to be more behind his sudden assistance.Today, we’re meeting at one of the largest hotels in the city. Now, as I sit across from him, I can’t shake the curiosity gnawing at me.“The information you gave me over the phone… it was invaluable. I didn’t get a chance to thank you properly,” I said, pouring drinks into our cups and raising mine to him.He looked down at his glass, swirling the liquid around before taking a slow sip. “The only ones who knew about that video were Hannah, myself, and Mr. Zayn’s mother,” he murmured, glancing briefly at me before looking away. “When I checked Mr. Zayn’s mother phone… the evidence was all right there.”I watched him as he spoke, his guarded expression showing th

    **Zayn's POV**I was heading home when one of my friends called, urging me to check out Elena and her mother’s live interview on MDN News. My heart pounded, wondering what she’d say—especially with all the recent rumors.Settling on my bed, I pulled up the MDN live stream, watching as Elena sat there beside her mother, dressed in black, her mother in purple. I rubbed my forehead, eyes fixed on the screen, seeing her cheeks lift in a smile that made me wonder what they could be asking to make her so happy.“Miss Elena, do you have a boyfriend?” the host asked, a hint of playfulness in his voice. “You’re rumored to be dating the Emgrand Group’s heir…”My pulse raced as I leaned closer, waiting for her response. She glanced at her mother, who smiled back at her, then turned to the host with a coy grin. “No comment,” she said, eyes sparkling.The host chuckled. “Oh, how mysterious!” she teased, while her mother added, “She's like this. She’s a terrible liar,” causing Elena to look down, l

Catherine asked, her eyes twinkling with amusement.I shook my head, a grin stretching across my face. "No, not at all. You've all done so much for us. I should’ve organized something like this sooner.""I know. We worked hard handling that incident," Mia chimed in, her voice buoyant.Catherine glanced toward the kitchen with a mischievous look. "And that man is still pouting!" she teased, nodding toward Amory, who was busy preparing dinner."Hello, CEO! Are you working? We're waiting on our food. Will we have it tomorrow?" Catherine’s husband, who happened to be Amory's secretary, teased."Here it comes," Amory said, carefully setting dishes on the table, holding one plate in his hand as he leaned toward his secretary."Could you stop rushing me, sir?" he quipped, grinning as he took a seat beside me."You’re such a terrible host.

Never stopping, even for a breath.” His teasing makes me feel lighter, but the day’s worries still cling to me.I laugh softly, leaning in close. “Neither do you. Aren’t you supposed to start at Emgrand Group next week?”“Yeah, but you know me. I have loose ends to tie up before then. Guess we’re more alike than we think,” he says, leaning over to plant a quick peck on my cheek. The sound of it makes my heart flip, but it’s the warmth in his eyes that truly undoes me.Then, he pauses and pulls me into a real kiss, one that leaves my cheeks flushed. I swat his arm playfully, but it’s impossible not to smile as he grins at me.“Much better mood now,” he quips, sliding into the driver’s seat with a wink

    **Amory's POV**I’ve been waiting outside the police station for nearly an hour, watching each person as they step through the gates. The mugshot photo of Davis Noah is fresh in my mind. His rough features, hooded eyes, and a scar slicing across his jawline—all unmistakable.Finally, a guard opens the gate, and a group of recently released inmates shuffles out, each heading in different directions. I glance down at my phone, comparing the image with the faces in the crowd. Then I see him—a lean figure in a black T-shirt and loose, worn-out trousers, his posture relaxed but guarded. He’s the last one out, his gaze flicking around as he takes in his surroundings.“Davis Noah,” I call, stepping out of my car and moving toward him.He stops, glancing back with a wary expression, his eyes narrowing as they travel from my shoes up to my face. He’s wearing a hood pulled low, but I can see his features clearly enough. He nods slightly, almost as if to say he knows why I’m here.***At the res

Now I was here to convince her myself.As I reached the building, a sharp burst of anticipation surged through me. She wouldn't be able to resist my offer once she saw me in person. With each step, my confidence swelled. But as I approached the window, a knot tightened in my chest, stopping me dead in my tracks.Through the glass, I could see Patricia—she wasn’t alone. She was sitting with Emma. My heart pounded against my ribs, a fierce, unrelenting thud. Shock, confusion, and dread crashed over me all at once. I barely kept my balance as I leaned closer, straining to hear their conversation.I stifled a gasp, my hand flying to my mouth as the reality of what

My heart felt raw, and my body was drained from the flood of emotions that overtook me. As I entered the house, I pressed the alarm button, and within moments, Amory opened the door, his face lighting up as he saw me.“You’re home late. You don’t know how much your husband has been waiting for you,” he teased, but his eyes softened when he noticed my expression.Wordlessly, I stepped toward him, letting my arms wrap around his shoulders as I hugged him tightly. I felt his arms come around me, grounding me in the warmth of his embrace. For a moment, everything felt still, safe. When we finally pulled away, he led me to the couch, where he took my hand in his, his gaze filled with concern.“Are you all right, honey?” he asked, his voice gentle.A faint smile tugged at my lips as I reached out, placing my other hand on his. “It doesn’t feel real yet.

A smile tugged at my lips as both Amory and I signed our names, finalizing our marriage registration. “Now, we just have to…” he said, glancing at me with a playful grin as we both reached for the stamp. “One, two, three,” we counted together, pressing the stamp onto the marriage license. With the finality of that gesture, we submitted our paperwork, and Amory pulled me into a hug, wrapping his arm around my shoulders as we walked through the lobby. “Congratulations!” voices echoed around us, and I turned to see Catherine, Mia, and some of Amory’s colleagues gathered there, cheering in surprise and joy. “Congratulations, brother! Congratulations, Emma!” Catherine’s voice was bright and happy. Her husband chimed in, grinning, “Just like old times, huh?” I couldn’t help but beam back, the warmth of their celebration washing over me

    **Emma’s POV** The sun was barely up, and the morning air held a slight chill, but there was a warmth blooming in my heart that no weather could touch. I reached across the breakfast table, picking up a slice of toast, and took a contented bite. “I think my morning sickness is finally gone,” I said with a sense of relief, smiling as I chewed. My mother’s expression softened as she watched me, her own breakfast momentarily forgotten. “Thank goodness,” she sighed, her hand resting briefly on mine. “I was starting to worry about you, you know, since you’d barely been eating.” She reached over to fill my glass with water, the sunlight catching the faint lines on her hands, a reminder of all the years of love and work she had put into raising me. “Do you have a busy day ahead?” she asked, glancing up at me with a hint of curiosity in her eyes. I nodded, swallowing a sip of water. “There’s a meeting with Dad and Grandpa about the foundation, and then I’m meeting Amory in the evening

I helped Amory settle down on the couch, his steps still unsteady, his recovery a slow process. I could see the weariness in his eyes, but I also saw something else—a lightness that had been missing for so long. We hadn’t been sitting long when a sudden chime from outside caught our attention. I quickly stood, realizing what it was. I hurried to the door, finding a delivery man waiting, a small package in his hands. As I took the package and shut the door, Amory looked over, puzzled. “What is this?” he asked as I placed the package on the table. I couldn’t help but smile. “It’s from my mom. She sent some of her special homemade dishes for you. She thought you’d need the extra strength.” “Your mom actually did that?” he asked, looking genuinely touched. I nodded, feeling warmth at the memory of her kindness. “She took such g

Every day, I had sat by his side, watching the faint rise and fall of his chest, searching his face for any sign of movement, any flicker of life. Even after his second surgery, he lay unresponsive, leaving me to grapple with an ache that felt impossible to mend. I sat quietly, watching him. He looked so peaceful, as if he were only asleep. I reached for his hand, feeling the gentle warmth of his skin beneath my fingertips, and clutched it close. "Amory," I whispered, my voice barely audible in the stillness, "I finally understand why I was given a second chance at life… why I came back." The quiet beeping of the machines filled the silence, steady and constant, a reminder of just how fragile he was. I took a shaky breath, pressing his hand against my cheek, my tears flowing freely as I whispered, “

It had been days since I’d last seen him—days since I learned the shocking truth that artist Edward Jones was his father.“You don’t look well, Ms. Emma,” he said, settling into a chair nearby. His gaze was steady, filled with a mixture of concern and curiosity.I sighed, sidestepping his observation. “How’s your father doing?” I asked, shifting the conversation away from myself.“He’s at the nursing home,” he replied, his voice carrying a hint of sadness. He studied me closely, then continued, “What I said at the police station was quite shocking, wasn’t it?”I took a deep breath, the weight of it all pressing down on me. “I thought you might be connected to Edward Jones in some way. I didn’t know you were father and son.”He gave a small, regretful shake of his head. “I was sent to an orphanage so young

Emma was with Amory, still in critical condition after his first surgery, and the doctors were already discussing the need for another procedure. My heart twisted just thinking about it. “So, is there no progress on Amory?” Grandma’s voice was soft, yet tinged with worry. She was sitting across from me, her hands tightly clasped in her lap. I let out a long sigh, meeting her gaze. “They need to operate again. I’m so worried, Mother. What if he…” I trailed off, unable to finish the thought. I couldn’t bear to voice my fears. “Don’t say that. We have to be strong, somehow,” my husband interjected as he stood from his chair. His voice was firm, but I could see the concern etched into his face. He left the room without another word, leaving Grandma and me in a heavy silence. Just then, the sharp sound of the doorbell shattered the quiet. One of the mai

I was handcuffed, and as I stepped into the hall, I saw him: my father, sitting stiffly in the visitor center. His eyes fixed on me as I entered, an expression that was as cold as it was unforgiving.For a moment, I froze, unable to take another step. But I forced myself forward, one heavy step after the other, until I reached the chair across from him. We were separated only by a small table, yet the distance felt insurmountable. He remained silent, his face a tight mask of anger and disappointment.After a painfully long silence, he finally spoke, his voice a low growl. “How could you do such a thing?” he asked, his words dripping with disdain. “I thought, maybe, after all this time, you would change.

I sank into one of the chairs, numb, with tears streaming down my cheeks as the reality of everything crashed over me.“Emma!

I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up to see Amory’s mother, Madam Elizabeth, standing before me, her face etched with worry.“What happened?” she asked, her voice trembling with fear as she knelt beside me.I took a deep breath, trying to muster the strength to explain, but the words felt heavy, almost impossible to say. “Amory… he got hurt trying to protect me,” I finally managed, my voice barely a whisper as I avoided her gaze, feeling the weight of guilt settle deeper in my chest.Madam Elizabeth gasped, her hands trembling.
