The medicine in her hand is a gateway to death, but it may not be. Victoria knew the path she was about to take could lead to destruction, but the hope for a little happiness remained. In the darkness of the hospital room, before her sits a man she once knew-a man who has lost everything, who now stares at her with sharp, hateful eyes. Logan, the badly injured CEO of Dallas Corp, spends his days in a wheelchair, trapped in a deep grudge. Victoria knows this is the right moment. If she didn't act now, it would all be over. “I can take you to get everything back,” Victoria said, voice wrapped in hesitation yet full of determination. Stepping closer, her eyes met Logan's dark, piercing ones. “Everything they ever took away, including your own honor as CEO of Dallas Corp,” she added, looking at him deeply, like an unbreakable promise. “But... pay for my daughter's entire treatment. Even if necessary, find the best doctor in the country so he can work on her recovery.”

Abigail finally fell asleep after asking for quite a while about what happened today. Her questions, although simple, made Victoria increasingly aware of how fragile their world is today.“Why do we have to go to Aunt Grace's house, Mommy?” ‘Why are there weird people there?’ ”Why doesn't Aunt Grace like Uncle Logan?”Victoria answered as best she could, slipping in reasonable reasons without making Abigail too worried. But deep down, she knew Abigail was not completely satisfied with her answer.After making sure her daughter was really asleep, Victoria stepped out of the room. The fatigue of the day enveloped her body. She paused in the kitchen, took a cup and brewed her favorite lemon tea. Its soothing scent made her feel a little lighter.She decided to go to the back garden, a place she rarely used. The cool night air might help her unburden her mind.However, when she opened the door to the garden, she saw the silhouette of someone sitting on a long wooden bench. Her heart was p

The trip to the hospital went smoothly. Noah drove calmly, while Chelsea sat in the back seat with him. They had a light conversation to distract her from her worries.As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Victoria went straight to Abigail's ward. However, in the hallway leading to the room, she found James standing there, smiling at her.“Victoria,” he said, his voice sounding friendly. ‘Can I talk to you for a minute?”Victoria looked at him doubtfully. ’I'm in a hurry, James. What's going on?”James approached, a little too close for her comfort. ”Just a minute. I want to show you something.”Victoria sighed, knowing she wouldn't be able to avoid it. “All right. But make it quick.”She followed him to a small café near the hospital. Victoria felt something was wrong with the situation.“Have a seat,” James said as he pulled out a chair for her.Victoria sat down, trying to keep as much distance from him as possible. “What do you want to talk about?”James stared at her intensely

In the kitchen, Victoria was cutting bread with regular movements. The scent of butter melting on a frying pan filled the room, giving it its own warmth. However, the silence of that morning was soon disturbed by the sound of a chair wheel sliding closer.Without turning around, she already knew who was coming.“You should have stayed in your room,” she said flatly, still focused on her work.Logan stopped beside her, leaning his arm on the edge of the kitchen table. “I'm bored,” he replied casually. “Besides, I want to see how you make breakfast for me.”Victoria sighed softly. She had no intention of arguing, so she chose to remain silent.Logan shifted his position a little closer. “What did you make?” he asked, his tone full of curiosity.“Toast and eggs,” Victoria replied briefly.“No coffee?” he teased, his tone light.Victoria glanced at him, then sh

That night, Victoria's body felt weaker and weaker. Her gaze occasionally glowed, and every step she took felt so heavy, as if all her energy had been drained. In the room, Ella looked at her with an expression of worry that was difficult to hide.“Mrs. Victoria, are you okay?” she asked, her tone soft but attentive.Victoria shook her head slowly, forcing a slight smile. “I'm just a little tired, Ella. Maybe I just need a little rest.”However, Ella's gaze remained sharp, full of doubt. “But you look very pale,” she said, her voice containing an anxious tone.“It's okay,” Victoria said, trying to reassure her. “Can you keep Abigail company tonight? I don't want her to be alone.”Ella looked at her doubtfully before finally nodding. “Of course, ma'am. But you should get a good rest. Should I call a doctor?”Victoria raised a weak hand, stopping her. “No need. I jus

Victoria sat in the passenger seat, her eyes blank as she stared at the ever-changing streets outside the window. Noah's voice was faintly heard from the steering wheel, trying to get her to talk, but she only responded with a short murmur.Her mind was still full, circling around the conversation she had just had with Grace.Suddenly, his cell phone rang. Logan's name appeared on the screen.He took a deep breath before finally picking it up.“Woman, what took you so long?” Logan's voice sounded sharp, but there was something behind the tone—a concern he couldn't hide. “What did she tell you?”Victoria bit her lip, trying to calm herself before answering, “She's just making sure everything is going according to plan.”“Don't mess with me, Victoria. You know I can feel when something's wrong.”Victoria's gaze remained straight ahead, even though her chest felt increasingly tight.“Logan, I've made sure everything is safe. Grace just wants to make sure I do my job the way she asked.”T

Victoria walked quickly through the hospital hallway. Even though Noah had asked her not to rush, she couldn't slow down. It was as if an invisible force was pulling her towards Abigail's hospital room.When the door opened, the child's sweet smile greeted her—although her face was still a little pale.“Mommy!” she cried weakly, but it was enough to warm Victoria's heart.She immediately approached, gently stroking her daughter's hair, which had been tidied up again after the nurse cleaned it this morning.“How are you feeling today, sweetheart?” she asked, sitting on the edge of the bed.Abigail smiled, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “Better, Mommy. Doctor Hans said I'm a VIP patient. That means I'm special, right?”Victoria chuckled, although her heart felt bitter. “Of course you are special. You have always been the most special in Mommy's eyes.”Abigail giggled, then pulled the blanket tighter. Her cheeks began to turn red, a sign that her condition was slowly improving. But

Victoria took a deep breath before entering the cafe that Grace mentioned in her message. The smell of coffee and the sound of clinking cups filled the air, but nothing could ease her anxiety. Her gaze swept across the room until she found Grace sitting in the corner, accompanied by her son James.Her steps paused for a moment. It was unusual for Grace to bring James to this kind of meeting.Carefully, Victoria stepped closer, trying to keep her expression neutral even though something in her wondered—what exactly did they want from her this time?“Victoria,” Grace greeted with a not entirely sincere smile. “Sit down. I've ordered tea for you.”Victoria nodded briefly and took a seat in the empty chair in front of them. James glanced at her with a slight smile, but said nothing.He decided to get straight to the point. “I don't have much time. What would you like to talk about?”Grace sipped her coffee slowly before answering. “Calm down first, Victoria. I just want to make sure every

Victoria sat in front of Chris with mixed feelings. The man's face looked a little tense as he conveyed his decision to transfer Abigail to another hospital.Chris stared at her intently before finally saying in a soft voice, “Victoria, are you sure about this decision? I'm not saying another hospital isn't good, but Abigail has been getting intensive care here, and we understand her condition well.”Victoria swallowed, trying to keep her tone steady. “I understand, Doc. But the facilities at that hospital are more complete, especially for the long-term care that Abby might need. And... there is someone who fully supports this move.”Chris sighed. There was a glint in his eye that made it even harder for Victoria to shake her doubts.“I only want the best for you and Abby. You know that, don't you?”Victoria nodded. Her heart felt heavy, but she couldn't let her emotions get the better of her logic. “Of course, Doc. I really appreciate everything you've done. But I have to try everyth

“Abigail's condition is much better. But you still have to consider my advice, Victoria. Don't delay too long.”Chris's voice sounded firm, but still sincere. The look in his eyes showed deep concern. “As the doctor who treated Abigail from the start, I am trying my best for her condition.”Victoria nodded in understanding. She knew very well how much attention Chris paid to her daughter. I don't know how much help that man has given since Abigail was too young to understand that she had to visit the hospital often just to make sure her health remained stable.“You too, Victoria. Take care of your health. Your face is too pale. Get enough rest.”A slight smile appeared on Victoria's lips. “Is it that bad?”Chris nodded without hesitation. He wasn't the only one to say it. Logan had also repeatedly asked her to rest, not to mention Chelsea and Ben who kept warning her not to push herself too hard.They even urged her not to hesitate to ask for help if needed.Victoria was used to doing

[Prologue]
“Abort your pregnancy.”The voice pierced straight to Victoria's heart. The unexpected yet clear words came from the woman in front of her, Chelsea Lancaster. With trembling hands, Victoria stared at the check lying on the table. The amount written on it was enough to change anyone's life. Enough to buy a mansion, a car, even temporary freedom. But it was not the freedom she wanted. Not the freedom she was looking for.Seeing that the young woman in front of her seemed interested in the check she gave, Chelsea said again. “Take this check, and leave my son. Live well, away from our family. It's the only way out for you.” She folded her arms across her chest, her smile cold and haughty.Victoria stared at the check with a turbulent heart. The hand that had been hesitating, now trembled more strongly. What was Chelsea thinking? Did this woman really believe she could just erase her from their lives? Not to mention her eyes that repeatedly looked at the check and the woman sitting in fro...
