Chapter 161

ETHAN I sprang into action, my reflexes honed from years of training. Victor's finger tightened on the trigger, and I knew I had mere milliseconds to react. "Andrew, no!" Reina screamed. I lunged forward, my body shielding Andrew from the potential bullet. My hand closed around Victor's wrist, twisting it sharply. The gun clattered to the deck, skidding across the floor. Victor's eyes widened in rage, his face reddening. "You'll pay for this," he snarled. I slammed him against the boat's railing, my grip unyielding. "Reina, get Andrew to safety," I ordered. Reina's tear-stained face appeared beside me, her eyes locked on Andrew. "Come on, baby," she whispered, pulling Andrew into a tight hug. Lucy stepped forward, her gun trained on Victor. "It's over," she said, her voice firm. Victor's gaze flicked between us, his expression twisted in defeat. "You'll never win," he spat. I tightened my grip on Victor's wrist. "We already have," I growled. Victor's eyes gleamed wit

Chapter 165

ETHAN I stormed into the prison visitation room, my heart racing with anticipation, fueled by the burning desire for justice. The sterile air reeked of desperation, and the fluorescent lights above seemed to hum with tension. Victor's smirk greeted me, a cold, calculated smile that twisted his features into a grotesque mask. His eyes gleamed with malevolent intent, sparkling like polished onyx in the harsh light. "You're a hard man to kill," Victor drawled, his voice dripping with sarcasm, each word a deliberate taunt. I slammed my fists on the metal table, the clang echoing through the room like a battle cry. "You're running out of time," I growled, my voice low and menacing. Victor chuckled, a low, menacing sound that sent shivers down my spine. "Time's on my side," he declared, his confidence unnerving. Our eyes locked, the air thickening with tension, heavy with the weight of unresolved conflict. The silence between us crackled with electricity, a live wire waiting to spark

But my focus shifted to Andrew, my brother, my responsibility.The weight of my determination settled upon me, a mantle of protection I vowed to wear.

My heart ached with every step, but I steeled myself, fortifying my resolve.Inside the room, Andrew lay motionless, machines surrounding him like sentinels. The soft rise and fall of his chest was a reassuring rhythm, but my gaze lingered on the fragile lines etched on his face.My son.My responsibility.I took a deep breath, the air filling my l

Chapter 167

REINA As I strolled alongside Lucy through the hospital's serene corridors, the soft beeping of machines and gentle hum of conversation created a soothing melody. The scent of disinfectant and fresh flowers wafted through the air, a poignant reminder of the fragility and resilience of life. "Thanks for being here, Lucy," I said, genuine gratitude warming my voice, my words echoing off the sterile walls. Lucy's smile illuminated her face, her eyes sparkling with warmth. "I'm happy to help," she replied, her voice infused with sincerity. "You and Andrew are important to me." Her words wrapped around my heart like a gentle hug, but a lingering doubt remained, a whispered caution in the recesses of my mind. Was Lucy genuinely invested, or did she have ulterior motives hidden beneath her benevolent facade? I studied her profile, searching for any hidden agenda, my gaze tracing the contours of her face. Her features seemed chiseled from kindness and compassion, yet experience had t

Chapter 169

Reina Some weeks had passed. Weeks we all enjoyed until something happened. The sun was just setting. It casted a soft orange ray through the windows as I carefully set the last plate on the dining table. I glanced at the clock one more time. It was almost time. Tonight was very important to all of us. We had not had the whole family over in a while, and I wanted everything to be just right. No complications at all. “Andrew, slow down! You're going to break something!” I yelled out. I tried to conceal my laugh as I watched my son run round the living room like he was being pursued by something. "I am just excited, Mom!" he giggled, his legs running circles around the coffee table. He was too high on energy and his energy was infectious. It drove me crazy sometimes but, I just have to remind myself that he is just a boy. I smiled and shook my head, turning my attention back to the dining table. I lit up the candles and made sure they remained that way throughout dinn

Chapter 170

ReinaThe next few days after Riri’s unexpected visit felt heavy. The air between Ethan and me was so thick that we hardly spoke to each other. We moved around the house like strangers, speaking only when necessary, mostly about Andrew. Every time I tried to bring up the topic, Ethan would brush it off, assuring me that I was overthinking things. But I couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right.I went about my daily routine, trying to distract myself. I cleaned, cooked, just to keep myself busy. But, no matter how hard I tried, my mind kept drifting back to RiRi. I hated feeling this way, like I was losing my grip on something important. I had always trusted Ethan, but now, doubt had taken root, and I could not ignore it.Not this time. Ethan had gone out to pick up Andrew from school, leaving his phone on the kitchen counter. He forgot it because he was in a hurry and was running away. I was not the type to go through his things. In fact, I hardly go through his
