Tania's half-smile remained. "And what's this, Mr. Langford?""Layla and I got married," Jordan announced, his gaze lingering on Tania as if she were a piece of exquisite art.Tania's smile faded a touch. "Well, congrats. I've been abroad for a few years, so I missed out on your big day.""Don't sweat it, Tania. Now that you're back, we'll have all the time in the world to catch up. You can always celebrate with Jordan and me at our wedding party later.""Is that so? Is Ms. Layla planning on walking down the aisle with Mr. Langford again?"Layla's face tensed up, and she gave Tania an awkward glance. "Sis, you've got it all wrong. I just...""Ms. Layla, just stick to calling me Tania. It's the name your dear mom graced me with, after all.""You..." Layla's complexion turned sour.The worst thing about her life was having Yasmin as a mother. She had no shame. If it were not for Yasmin, she would be living it up as the rightful heiress of the Hoffman family, not dealing with that

Tania's face went from calm to stormy in a heartbeat when she heard those words. She glanced at Noelle, trying to figure out if she was messing with her on purpose. "You're such a tease, Noelle. I'm a married woman. There's no way I'd be a solo parent. My hubby might be super busy, but he’s as dedicated to Brandon as me!"Peter's grip on the steering wheel tightened just a notch when Tania brought up her husband, and his eyes clouded over with something dark and unreadable.Tania knew Peter's moods like the back of her hand because they went way back. The chilly vibe rolling off him was a dead giveaway that he was ticked off.She balled her hands into fists, took a deep breath, and insisted, "Trevon adores Brandon, and he adores me, too."However, before the words had even settled in the air, Peter slammed on the brakes. The tires screamed against the road, and Noelle, clutching Brandon, nearly flew forward.Noelle was ghost-white with shock, her eyes darting to Brandon in her arm

Tania's heart skipped a beat as Peter's grip on her chin sent a jolt of heat through her. That intense warmth from his touch was impossible to ignore.Staring into Peter's eyes, Tania was swamped by feelings she could not quite put into words. Three long years had passed, and they had not been kind to her. Nightmares often woke her up, replaying the worst moments over and over. When she needed him most, Peter was nowhere to be found. That kind of hurt builds up, and her bitterness toward him had only grown. The last blow hit too close to home, and she felt trapped.Peter's brow was knotted with concern as he watched Tania sink into deep grief. He could almost touch her sadness. "Tania?" he murmured her name so gently, but Tania recoiled like a startled deer, shoving Peter away. Her gaze was icy as she regained her composure. "Peter, I've told you before that we're done. We can never patch things up!"Tania turned and ran as if the ground were crumbling behind her. Peter stood there,

Sean was mid-sentence when he heard the purr of a car pulling up outside. His ears never missed a beat. "Charles is back," he announced.Then came a knock at the door. Sean sauntered over and swung it open. "Charles, man, you should know how to—Mr. Fischer?" His eyes popped in shock at the sight of Steven and the fiery woman at his side. " Little Firecracker?"Steven shot Sean a look. "What's the matter? Shocked to see me?"Feeling the sting of Steven's icy stare, Sean stiffened and quickly shook his head. "No way! Shocked? Ha! Come on in, Mr. Fischer. And, uh... Little Firecracker, you too?"Eloise ignored Sean, stepping past him with Steven.Sean smirked innocently and trailed after Eloise. "Come on, Little Firecracker, give me a little smile. We go way back! Aren't you even a little bit happy to see me?""You're so loud!" Eloise shot back, visibly annoyed. "Only a chatterbox like you could still be single!"Sean's mouth hung open, ready to retort, but her jab left him speechl

"Wait up!" Charles was on the phone with Ronald, instructing him to scope out who had been around Phoenix Tree Residence that night and to upgrade their security system pronto. Once he hung up, he caught sight of the syringe clutched in Peter's hand, and the look in his eyes was nothing short of predatory."Looks like... it's about to go down!"Peter was looking pretty rough, and Steven gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "The guy who just took action is Quill Sect's top hitman, Shane Quill. He's the same dude who went after Charles before..."Charles scrunched his brow in concern. "I'm gonna fetch Sean to figure out what's in this syringe. Brandon..." Peter did not wait for him to finish. He rushed to check on Brandon, but the kid was out like a light, not showing any signs of trouble.Peter peeled back Brandon's blanket and inspected his arm, spotting the telltale puncture mark. A fierce glint flashed in Peter's eyes, and he scooped up Brandon, ready to bolt. However, Stev
