"Tell us, how have you been?"Heaven's eyes lit up with enthusiasm as she launched into an animated tale. "Guess what, Daddy? I have a new tutor now, and she's really nice! Her name is Miss Emily, and she helps me with my reading and math. We even played a game with colorful blocks today, and I won!"Selena and I listened attentively, delighting in our daughter's excitement.

SelenaAs the private jet touched down at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement mixed with a tinge of confusion. The airport seemed unusually crowded with an entourage of bodyguards stationed both inside and outside the terminal. I turned to Angel, a puzzled expression on my face."Angel, why do we need all these bodyguards?" I asked, my voice laced with curiosity. "I mean, I understand the need for security, but this seems like a lot."Angel smiled reassuringly, his eyes filled with warmth. "Don't worry, my love," he said, gently squeezing my hand. "It's just a precautionary measure. We have some influential acquaintances here, and they want to ensure our safety during our stay in Paris."His words brought a sense of calm to my racing mind.

AngelI woke up early, my mind still heavy with the weight of the previous night's encounter. As I quietly slipped out of bed, I glanced back at Selena, her peaceful form a stark contrast to the turmoil brewing within me. I knew I had to handle this situation carefully, and keeping Selena in the dark about my plans was the only way to protect her.Silently, I made my way to the living room, where I had set up a secure line to communicate with the different factions of the mafia. The room was dimly lit, casting long shadows on the walls, matching the uncertainty that lingered in my mind. I reached for the phone and dialed the number, waiting for the connection to be established."Good morning, gentlemen," I greeted the voices on the other end of the line, my tone calm and authoritative. "I trust you're all ready to move forward with our plans?"The responses came in a chorus of affirmation, each voice representing a different faction, all united under the guise of cooperation.

Tears streamed down my face as I found myself sitting on a bench in a quiet corner of Paris, the city I once associated with love and happiness now tainted by the shattered fragments of my trust.Part of me wanted to pick up my phone and call my father, to seek solace and guidance in his comforting voice. But I couldn't bring myself to do it. The thought of burdening him with my heartbreak, knowing that he would blame himself for my pain, was unbearable. I couldn't bear to see him suffer because of my poor judgment.Instead, a name flashed through my mind, Misha. Yeah, my ex-boyfriend, someone I had loved deeply before Angel came into my life.

But deep down, a gnawing unease lingered, fueled by the absence of Selena.I had lied to Heaven, telling her that Selena had important work to attend to in Paris. My heart twisted as I recalled her innocent, tear-stained face, her small voice filled with longing as she whispered, "I miss Mommy, Daddy." I had brushed her off, claiming that Selena would return soon, but the guilt tugged at my conscience.Just as I was about to drown in the depths of my self-deception, my phone rang, jolting me from my thoughts. Nikolai's name flashed on the screen, and a surge of anticipation coursed through me. I answered the call, my voice carefully measured."What is it, Nikolai?"

Chase's POV:I woke up to find Heaven in the kitchen, her expression a mix of exhaustion and something else. Something I couldn't quite put my finger on."Rough night?" I asked, trying to sound casual.She shrugged. "Just the usual chaos. Nothing I can't handle."I leaned against the kitchen counter. "You know, Heaven, you don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. Sometimes it's okay to let someone else share the burden."She shot me a skeptical look. "And who would that someone be? You?"I smirked. "Hey, I'm not as bad as you make me out to be. Besides, you might be surprised at how good I am at lightening the mood."She raised an eyebrow. "Lightening the mood, or causing more chaos?"I chuckled. "A bit of both, perhaps. But seriously, Heaven, you don't have to be so guarded all the time. We're in this together, right?"She sighed. "In this together, until the next betrayal or twist of fate. That's how it goes, Chase."I decided to change the subject, opting for
