Electra POV Arriving home, exhausted from the long day, I pushed open the door and was immediately enveloped in the warm glow of the living room. My gaze fell upon the most precious sight - my baby, peacefully sleeping on the sofa, her tiny chest rising and falling with each gentle breath.I walked softly towards her, not wanting to disturb her serene slumber. Her tiny hands were curled into fists, and her soft, pink lips were slightly parted, emitting tiny puffs of air." Why did you let her sleep on the sofa?" I asked her nanny, trying to keep my voice down. "Why didn't you take her to her room?"Nanny looked up from her seat beside my baby, a sympathetic smile on her face. "She just fell asleep, and she insisted on waiting for you because you promised to spend the night with her. But she fell asleep before you came home, and I didn't want to move her."I felt a pang of guilt and regret, scooping up my baby into my arms. "There was traffic, that's why I'm late," I explained, feelin

As they waited anxiously, the hospital staff rushed the little girl into the operating theater. Electra slumped against the wall, worry etched on her face.Knoxville stood beside Henry, his voice low. "She called her her daughter. Are you sure she's her niece, like you claimed?"Henry's expression turned cautious. "That's the information I found. Did you suspect something was off?"Knoxville's brow furrowed. "Why did I feel a connection with the girl? And she said 'we will lose her'... It sounded like more than just concern for a niece."Henry's eyes narrowed. "I'll investigate further.""Did you think I should ask her?" Knoxville wondered aloud, his brow furrowed in contemplation. "Why did I have the feeling she has a daughter for me?"Henry's expression turned thoughtful. "The little girl has the same eyes as you, even though she looks like Electra. I clearly saw it before she closed her eyes. It was as if I was looking at you."Knoxville's gaze intensified, his mind racing. "I shou

"So, what are you going to do?" Henry asked, his voice laced with concern, as he leaned back in his chair.Knoxville rubbed his temples, his eyes weary. "I don't know," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper.Henry's expression turned serious. "I think it's time you told her the reason you divorced her."Knoxville's gaze dropped, his shoulders sagging. "Did you think she'll believe me?" he asked, skepticism etched on his face.Henry's eyes locked onto Knoxville's. "You have to make her believe that," he urged, his tone firm but gentle. "You owe her the truth, Knoxville. You owe yourself the truth."Knoxville's eyes narrowed, his mind racing. Could he really confront the past? Could he face her again?Henry's voice cut through his thoughts. "You've been running from this for too long. It's time to face the consequences of your actions."Knoxville's jaw clenched. He knew Henry was right. The weight of his secrets was crushing him."Okay," Knoxville said finally, his voice firm. "

"Are you out of your mind?" Mrs. Scofield thundered, her face purpling with rage as she slapped Electra across the cheek. The sound of the slap echoed through the room, leaving an uncomfortable silence in its wake.Electra's eyes widened in shock as she held her cheek, staring at her mother in disbelief. "What have I done to deserve the slap?" she asked, her voice trembling with hurt and anger.Mrs. Scofield's expression was unforgiving, her eyes blazing with fury. "How dare you plan to marry Maxwell without informing us?" she thundered, her voice echoing off the walls. "How can his father announce that without our knowledge or consent?"Electra's eyes flashed with defiance, but Mrs. Scofield cut her off before she could speak. "Aish, you're so unbelievable," she spat, her voice dripping with venom. "I thought you'd changed. That's how you go ahead and get married to someone you barely know, and then you get divorced within two weeks, eight years ago." Mrs. Scofield's face twisted in
