"I don’t know the exact moments leading up to all of this. Because Serena was under her mother’s care. But there was clearly some conflict between Serena and Malisa in the weeks leading up to this, that’s all I know. Perhaps her homeroom teacher could clarify more," I said, nudging Lina with my elbow.I hoped this answer would be enough to divert their attention, but the crowd of reporters still seemed curious. Lina looked confused, but I tried to signal her to explain if necessary. The atmosphere was becoming more pressing, and I knew we had to be careful with every word that came out.Lina seemed startled, looking nervous to start her answer. I gestured for her to begin speaking, reassuring her that this was the right time to gain positive validation. In situations like this, every word we uttered would have a significant impact. This news would surely spread, circulating through mass media, print, and even the internet.I imagined how ou

Eric's POV The question heightened the tension in the atmosphere. I could see Lina momentarily stunned, as if trying to recall every detail of that very difficult moment. When she lifted her face, I could sense the uncertainty within her.I felt exhilarated to be in this moment. Honestly, this was the moment I had been waiting for. Finally, I was in a position of control to speak at length and explain everything that was on my mind. Soon, Malisa would surely be shattered in front of many people; her image would deteriorate further. It was even possible that Malisa could become a suspect in Serena's death.That thought sent a rush of energy through my body. With every passing second, I became more confident that my plan would come to fruition. If all this happened, all control of the company would automatically be handed over to me as the sole heir after Serena's departure.I imagined how my position would change. No more shadow of Malisa blocking my w

Malisa's POV Since I found Serena being abducted by Eric and entrusted to her homeroom teacher, I became increasingly convinced that there was something going on between Eric and Mrs. Lina. Even to this day, I still have my assistant investigating the truth. I want to ensure that their conspiracy is uncovered soon.But I lost control when I heard the news that Serena had been hospitalized due to a suicide attempt. I don't understand why Serena has become such a rebellious child and has become so reckless. I almost lost Serena forever, but I managed to bring her home, even though she needs ongoing care at home for her recovery.She had just regained consciousness, and I found her rejecting my presence. I don't know what Eric and Mrs. Lina have indoctrinated Serena with, making her so temperamental. I was nearly overwhelmed trying to handle the Serena of today."Why am I here? Tell me why you brought me back from the hospital! Where's my dad?" Sere

Malisa's POVMy assistant, quickly replied confidently, "No, ma'am. I gave her the medication as per the doctor's orders." Although her tone was calm, there was an underlying tension that I couldn't ignore."Then why? Did she have food poisoning?" I asked, trying to get more clarification. Anxiety and confusion piled up within me. All the worst possibilities spun in my mind, and I needed to understand how Serena's condition had come to this.My assistant hesitated for a moment, perhaps trying to find the right words. However, as my gaze returned to Serena, I felt the panic enveloping the room even more. In such a situation, all I could do was seek answers. I wanted to ensure she received the help she needed as quickly as possible."No, ma'am. If Miss Serena had food poisoning, it’s possible we both would be poisoned since we ate the same food," my assistant replied with a reasonable logic."Oh yes, you’re right," I said, realizing that was a v

This was a positive step, and I was determined to ensure everything went smoothly. I wanted to give her space to grow while still keeping her safe. With this agreement, I hoped we could start a new and better chapter in our relationship.I hoped she would be okay while outside the house. Besides that, I could resume the work I had neglected while focusing my attention on Serena recently.I hoped she wouldn’t do anything strange again and wouldn’t get too close to anyone who would negatively influence her. Especially with Mrs. Lina and Eric. They were people who could bring negative influences, and I felt the need to be more vigilant.I had to warn the guards I would send to accompany Serena. "Make sure you are extra vigilant when Serena has to meet with Mrs. Lina or Eric," I warned them. "If anything seems suspicious or if Serena lo

Usually, he was always able to keep everything in check, but this time, it ended tragically. Only regret remained between us, seeping into every passing second.Serena, once full of life, now lay helpless. Her fall from a height had stolen all hope, leaving two painful possibilities: a lifetime of disability or eternal loss. Guilt gnawed at my mind while deep sorrow enveloped my heart.

Malisa's POV With full concentration, I continued my journey. The road felt familiar, and each second brought me closer to the long-awaited meeting. Finally, I arrived at my destination.Seeing his house, I was shocked. It was small and looked a bit shabby, far from my image of Roby's home. I couldn't believe my friend lived in a place like this. Memories of the past raced through my mind—how Roby was always cheerful and full of spirit, even though his situation now seemed different.I got out of the car and began walking toward his house. It looked inhabited, but it appeared neglected, making me feel a little disgusted. The peeling paint and the yard filled with weeds added to the gloomy impression. Strangely, the front door was wide open, revealing a messy interior.I tried calling Roby's name, but no one responded. The silence made me feel uncertain. "Roby!?"

Malisa's POV "You clearly wouldn't know Roby; when he was our neighbor here, you were still very young. Let me talk to the caller; give me the phone!" the mother said, asking to speak to me directly.It seemed her child had handed the phone to her. The mother's voice began to greet me on the line."Sorry, ma'am, are you indeed asking about Roby's whereabouts?" the middle-aged woman asked me."Yes, of course, ma'am. Sorry for disturbing your time with your family. Let me introduce myself, I’m Malisa," I said, starting to introduce myself.This straightforwardness made the atmosphere feel warmer. I could sense sincerity in her voice, and my hope rekindled. The woman paused for a moment, perhaps reminiscing about past memories related to Roby."Wait, your name sounds familiar.

Malisa's POV I quickly explained the situation I was facing. “I’m looking for Roby, and I’m having trouble getting information about him. I need your help to find out more, maybe through your friends or your network.”Mariana listened attentively, noting every detail I described. She has an incredible ability to connect people and find information in unexpected places. I felt relieved knowing that I wasn’t alone in this search.“Now you go to the place where I used to go to school. I will send you the address via text. Go to the operator and administration section to inquire about the student profile data from my cohort. You can focus on Roby's personal data,” I said in detail, ensuring all steps were clear. “Once you get that, you can trace his address and go there.”Mariana listened intently, absorbing every piece of information I offered. “Okay, Mrs. Malisa, I will carry out that task immediately,” she replied, ready to proceed.

However, I was confident I could find him through my other friends, especially those who had gone to school with us. It seemed unlikely that among all my schoolmates, none would have maintained contact with Roby.I began to think that at least one, if not more, of my friends must still be in touch with Roby. Perhaps they knew his whereabouts or even had his latest address. This information was crucial for my upcoming efforts. Yes, I needed to contact my friends one by one to keep this confidential and ensure my plan went smoothly.With a resolute determination, I opened my contacts list on my phone.

Taking my child's life in vain was something I could not forgive.Every step I took would be filled with determination.

Surprise after surprise emerged as Mariana revealed that Lina indeed had a husband, or more accurately, had once had one.This information was truly intriguing.
