Eric's POV

"Why? What's wrong? Is there a problem again?" Lina asked, starting to feel curious about the instructions I had just given her.

I could sense the uncertainty in her voice. Although I had explained the importance of keeping things confidential, I knew that Lina's worries might stem from anxiety about the larger situation. This was the right moment to reassure her that all our plans were going according to the scenario I had outlined. I hoped this would allow her to focus better and not get caught up in unnecessary doubts.

"Yes, of course, we are not really safe yet, dear. Malisa just called me and asked about Serena's condition. She wanted me to send a photo or video of Serena because I told her that Serena was sleeping here. But I refused and gave her another reason, so I think Malisa felt annoyed with me and hung up the phone without much small talk. I'm worried that Malisa is starting to suspect our plans. The most concerning thing is if she decides to look for Serena at

    Eric's POV I need to quickly find a way to make money again, especially to cover the unpaid wages to those buzzers. But I'm confused about how to go about it. For a moment, I thought about finding ideas that could instantly draw in a lot of money from various sources.Maybe I could leverage this situation to find opportunities. Digging up information about the people involved in this issue might be a good first step. Or, I could look for ways to exploit this tension for financial gain, like selling information or creating content that draws attention.I might also think more creatively, like designing a crowdfunding scheme or doing something to attract public interest. With a bit of luck and the right strategy, I’m sure I can get the money I want. These ideas keep swirling in my head, and I’m determined to find a profitable way out.Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck me: to extort Malisa using Serena’s name.

    Eric's POVI watched Serena from a distance, feeling the tension flowing between us. I knew this step was crucial; persuading Serena to talk to her mother, Malisa, could be a bridge to mending our relationship. However, it was not an easy task.I was formulating a plan in my mind, trying to envision the best way to approach Serena. I wanted to ensure that the conversation not only went smoothly but also successfully created a stronger bond between Serena and Malisa.However, there was one thing on my mind: money. I hoped Malisa would be willing to send the funds I had planned. I knew that if Malisa refused to send the money, the situation could worsen. Serena might grow to hate her mother even more, and that was not the outcome I wanted.My thoughts kept swirling, meticulously planning every step. If Serena could speak directly to Malisa, perhaps Malisa's heart would open up. I wanted Serena to understand that this was an opportunity for both of u

    Eric's POV With her gentleness, Lina tried to provide a sense of security and affection that Serena might not have felt before. Amid the existing tension, this moment became a small light that could potentially change everything.In my view, Lina was an intelligent woman, not shallow like Malisa. That was the charm that made me want to remain with Lina. On the other hand, Malisa was too naive and innocent; I didn’t like women who were practically like her. It felt incredibly boring and unexciting. Malisa seemed monotonous and easily fooled, which made me feel unchallenged.In contrast, Lina was entirely different. She knew how to position herself and feed my ego. Her understanding and caring personality made me feel valued. There was an intriguing dynamic between us, a connection that made me feel alive.Lina could see and understand sides of me that Malisa might never have perceived. In my mind, the stronger this feeling grew, the clearer it became t

    Eric's POV That silence allowed Serena to reflect on everything I had just said. The expression on her face indicated that she was beginning to understand the complexity of the situation we faced. In that stillness, my hope was that she would realize how difficult our position was and develop empathy for everyone involved."Yes, that’s true, Serena. That’s what happened," Lina chimed in, affirming my fabricated story to convince Serena further.With Lina’s support, I felt stronger in conveying the message I wanted to get across. Serena seemed to be beginning to digest all this information, and I hoped that this explanation would help her understand how important cooperation and communication were in our family. That moment became key to opening further discussions about the hopes and challenges we faced together."So Mom has been unfair again? Why does she do this to me? After all, I’m her own child. I can’t believe there are mothers who are deceitful

    Malisa’s POV"Honey, come have breakfast. I made it especially for you," Eric said softly, bringing the food to me like he always did, with that gentle, caring smile. I felt a chill run down my spine.Eric had been a stay-at-home dad ever since we got married, taking care of me and our daughter, Serena. He was meticulous, thoughtful, and always made sure we had everything we needed. My friends would constantly tell me how lucky I was to have found such a perfect, gentle man, and I used to agree.But lately, something felt off. The way he looked at me sometimes, the intensity in his gaze—it was as if he were watching me for signs of something he feared. As I sat down at the table, I tried to shake off the unease. The aroma of pancakes and fresh fruit filled the air, sweet and inviting. Yet, the warmth of the breakfast contrasted sharply with the cold knot forming in my stomach."How did you sleep?" he asked, pouring syrup over my pancakes with a steady hand, his movements deliberate a

    Malisa’s POV Just like any other day, I finished breakfast. When Eric was about to take Serena to school, I stopped him.“Serena’s hair is a bit messy. Let me fix it.”I took my daughter to the bathroom, closed the door, and lifted up her shirt. Her skin was smooth and flawless, without a single bruise. Nothing like the scarred body I had seen in my previous life.So, what was going on? How could her body be covered in fresh and old bruises just hours later?“Honey, are you done yet? Serena's going to be late,” Eric called from outside the door, interrupting my thoughts.I opened the door and looked at him. “I’ll take her to school today.”Eric looked a little confused but smiled and said, “Alright, thanks, babe.” He didn’t hesitate, turned around, and started cleaning up the table. His reaction was so normal that it didn’t raise any suspicion.But the more he acted like this, the more determined I became to uncover the truth.On the way to school, I couldn’t help but ask Serena, “Ha

    Malisa’s POV I couldn’t put my finger on exactly what had gone wrong. All I could do was replay everything that had happened in my previous life, trying to grab onto any tiny clue to unravel the mystery. After forty minutes of racking my brain, it finally hit me.I immediately called my assistant.“Quick, I need you to investigate something for me.”After giving instructions, I sat anxiously in the car, my heart racing. I needed to know if I was finally close to the truth. Ten minutes later, my assistant called back with the results of his investigation. As I listened to the report, my hands shook uncontrollably.It was exactly what I thought!I gave one last instruction, my voice cold and firm.“Take care of it, as quickly as possible, at any cost. And remember—tell no one.”With that, I drove away from the school.Two hours later, the calls from Serena’s teacher started coming. One after another, as if she was in a full-blown panic. When I didn’t pick up, the texts followed.“Seren

    Eric's POVMy mission was successful, and I was satisfied to see Serena's change of opinion towards Malisa. At least now, Serena's trust in Malisa was gone. That was what I wanted, and finally, all my efforts paid off.Serena no longer wanted to live with Malisa. Seeing her move away from Malisa gave me a sense of relief. I knew this step would have a big impact, and even though there was a feeling of guilt that hung over me, I was sure this was the right decision.Now, I could take a step closer to Serena. With Malisa no longer an obstacle, I felt free to pursue what I wanted.However, even so, I had to keep adding hate and hitting her repeatedly. My goal was clear: to ensure that Serena would not change her mind and try to return to her mother. I didn't want that to happen because my plan to seize Malisa's wealth and throne through the sole heir, Serena, would be easily read and ultimately fail.My strategy had to be right. Every word I said had to seem to strengthen Serena's view o

    Malisa's POVI could feel the tension in the air. With every word I spoke, I tried to pressure Eric, hoping he would be overwhelmed by the situation. My plan was to make him feel trapped, leaving him no choice but to admit the truth.Eric fell silent for a moment, seemingly at a loss. However, he still had the audacity to answer my question with a new excuse. He clearly refused my request to send a photo or video of Serena sleeping right now. In reality, Serena was not with him, and that was why he couldn't fulfill my request.The reality was too clear for him to deny, especially since Serena was with Mrs. Lina. Eric was truly outrageous; besides being a liar, he was also irresponsible, even towards his own child. His attitude further demonstrated how low he was as a father. My determination to uncover the truth grew stronger."Sorry, I can't do that either. I take Serena's privacy very seriously. It's all for her good, especially since she's very disa

    Malisa’s POV My mind drifted to Mrs. Lina's house. Tension and uncertainty clouded my thoughts, making me feel the need to learn more about what was happening there. I had to check on Serena and try to regain her trust. With renewed determination, I decided to go outside and find a way to approach this situation.It might be a good idea to monitor in front of Mrs. Lina's house first. I needed to ensure that the news from my assistant was indeed true. The curiosity made me uncomfortable staying here.With firm resolve, I quickly prepared to leave. Perhaps, from outside her house, I could see signs of whether Serena was there. Every second was valuable, and I had to ensure my daughter's safety. Without further thought, I stepped outside, heading toward Mrs. Lina's house.It wasn't too late, and I had to arrive there to see if anyone was coming in or out of the house. I drove my car at high speed, driven by the mounting curiosity gnawing at my mind.
