Carina’s POVMiguel’s jaw tightened, and he exchanged a look with Antonio. “We’re not trying to make you feel trapped,” he said carefully. “But you have to understand—”“No, you have to understand,” I interrupted, my voice trembling. “I’m not some fragile little girl. I don’t need your protection. I just need you to trust me.”Antonio’s expression softened, but his voice remained firm. “We do trust you, Carina. It’s the rest of the world we don’t trust.”“That’s not good enough,” I said, shaking my head. “If you can’t trust me to take care of myself, then what’s the point?”The tension was getting heated, none of us willing to back down. Finally, Miguel sighed and stepped back.“Let’s take a breather,” he said. “This isn’t the place to have this conversation.”“Oh, now you want to be reasonable?” I muttered, crossing my arms.“Come on, Carina,” Antonio said, his tone lighter but still tinged with frustration. “Let’s go somewhere and talk this out properly.”I hesitated, my anger still

Carina’s POV“Of course,” he said, his expression earnest. “I’m not going to let you deal with this alone.”Tears welled in my eyes, and I quickly wiped them away. “Thank you, Ethan. I don’t even know what to say.”“You don’t have to say anything,” he said with a small smile. “We’ll figure this out together, okay?”For the first time in what felt like forever, I felt like I wasn’t completely alone. Ethan’s kindness and support were like a lifeline, pulling me back from the edge of despair.“Thank you,” I said again, my voice trembling.He nodded, his smile reassuring. “Now, let’s come up with a plan.Ethan leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees as he stare at me intently. “Okay,” he said after a long pause. “Let’s take this step by step. First off, where would you even go?”I shook my head, feeling the weight of the question. “I don’t know, Ethan. Somewhere far, somewhere quiet. I just need to get away from all of this.”He nodded thoughtfully, rubbing his chin. “Alright. I k

CHAPTER 23Carina’s POV“Really,” he said. “Sarah’s great. She’s like a mom to everyone she meets. And Jake’s a bit rough around the edges, but he’s a good guy. They’ll take care of you.”“Thank you, Ethan,” I said, my voice thick with emotion. “I don’t know what I’d do without you.”He smiled, his eyes warm and kind. “You don’t have to do this alone, Carina. You’re stronger than you think, but it’s okay to lean on someone else when you need to.”I nodded, his words giving me a strength I hadn’t felt in weeks. “I’ll be ready,” I said firmly. “Friday. Midnight.”“Friday. Midnight,” he repeated. “We’ve got this.”********Since meeting with Ethan, my mind hadn’t stopped spinning. Thoughts of escape, fear of being caught, and the uncertainty of what lay ahead consumed me. How was I going to leave this house unnoticed?Antonio and Miguel were always around, their noses constantly in my business. I didn’t know if it was out of overprotectiveness or plain control, but it felt like they had

Chapter 24

Carina’s POVThe moment I walked into the dining room, I could feel the tension in the air. The clinking of plates and low murmurs stopped as everyone turned to look at me.“Finally,” Antonio sneered, leaning back in his chair with his arms crossed. “We thought we’d have to drag you down here.”I forced a tight smile. “Sorry, I was busy reorganizing my closet.”Miguel raised an eyebrow. “Reorganizing? You don’t even have that many clothes.”“Maybe I like things neat,” I snapped back, already feeling the heat rising in my chest.“Yeah, neat,” Antonio muttered under his breath. “Or you’re hiding something.”I shot him a glare, but before I could respond, Rodrigo chimed in. “Stop wasting everyone’s time and just sit down, Carina. Dinner’s already cold.”Biting back a retort, I pulled out a chair and sat down. The tension at the table felt like a storm waiting to break. Mum was sitting at the head, her lips pressed into a tight line as she picked at her food. Our stepdad, David, was tryin

Chapter 25

Carina’s POV“Your mother,” he began, his voice heavy with emotion, “she loves you. She loves you more than anything. And I love her. More than anything. Seeing all this tension in the house... it hurts her. She doesn’t show it, but I can see it. It’s wearing her down.”Guilt gnawed at my chest, but I didn’t say anything.“I know my sons aren’t easy to live with,” David continued. “And I’m not asking you to be a saint or to forgive everything they’ve done. But for your mother’s sake... could you try to keep the peace? At least a little?”I bit my lip, conflicted. “David, it’s not just them. It’s this whole situation. I feel like I’m suffocating here. I don’t belong, and they make sure I know it.”“You do belong,” he said firmly. “Your mother and I want you here. You’re part of this family, whether the boys like it or not. And I know they can be cruel sometimes, but deep down, they’re good kids. They just... don’t know how to show it.”I shook my head, tears stinging my eyes. “It doesn

Chapter 26

Carina’s POVThe countryside stretched out before me, rolling hills bathed in golden sunlight. The air outside was fresh and crisp, carrying the scent of wildflowers and grass. Inside the car, there was a silence between Ethan and me, but it wasn’t awkward. It was the kind of silence that let my mind wander.“Hope you’re enjoying the ride,” Ethan said, breaking the quiet. His voice was warm, reassuring, like it always was.“Yeah, sure I am,” I replied, though my tone was distant as I gazed out the window. My eyes lingered on the open fields, the scattered houses, and the occasional flash of people going about their lives.I kissed the city my final goodbye.Just hours ago, I had snuck out of that house. It felt like both a victory and a loss. I remembered the way the cool morning air had hit my face as I tiptoed past the porch and down the driveway. My heart had been racing, my breaths shallow and quick. Every creak of the floorboards, every rustle of the wind outside had felt like it

Chapter 27

Carina’s POV“We’re here,” Ethan said softly, his voice pulling me out of my thoughts.I opened my eyes slowly, realizing I must have dozed off during the drive. I blinked a few times, adjusting to the sight before me. The car had stopped in front of a charming little bungalow. It wasn’t grand or luxurious, but it had a cozy, welcoming vibe.“Willow Creek,” I murmured, stretching as I sat up in my seat. The town was quieter than I’d imagined, with wide streets and small shops lining the main road. “Hmm, I hope this place is kind to me.”“You’ll be fine,” Ethan said with a grin, stepping out of the car. “Come on, let’s get your stuff.”I stepped out and inhaled deeply. The air felt different here, fresher, lighter, almost like it carried the promise of a new start. Maybe it was all in my head, but I needed to believe that this was the right decision.The bungalow stood proud in front of us, painted a soft cream color with blue shutters. It had a small porch with two rocking chairs and

Carina’s POV_Ten Years Later_“Ma’am, you have a call.” My secretary, Lisa, stepped into my office, holding the phone. Her voice was polite but carried a hint of urgency.I glanced up from my desk, slightly irritated at the interruption. “Who’s on the line?” I asked, pushing my glasses up my nose.“I’m not sure, ma’am,” Lisa replied. “I think it’s from the school.”My heart skipped a beat, but I quickly composed myself. “Alright, hand it over,” I said, reaching for the phone.“Good day, ma’am,” a voice on the other end greeted. It was soft and professional. “This is Mrs. Lee from Willow Creek Academy.”“Good day,” I replied, already bracing myself for what was coming. “How may I help you?”“We noticed a new driver came to pick up your children today,” she began cautiously. “We wanted to confirm if this change was made with your approval.”“Oh, yes,” I said, nodding to myself. “I changed the driver yesterday. I needed someone more competent for my boys.”“Understood, ma’am,” Mrs. Lee

Chapter 29

lCarina’s POV“Oh, let’s see,” he said, counting off on his fingers again. “You’re brutally honest, fiercely independent, and you have this terrifying ability to read people like a book. Most men can’t handle that.”I smirked. “Sounds like their problem, not mine.”Ethan shook his head, still smiling. “You’re impossible.”“And proud of it,” I said, holding my head high.“Funny how life works out,” I murmured to myself, looking out at the city skyline.From a scared, pregnant girl with nothing to her name to a successful CEO raising two incredible boys.I thought about Sarah and Jake, who had given me a place to stay when I had nowhere to go. About Ethan, who had been my anchor through it all. And about my boys, who were the reason I worked so hard every single day.“Life is good,” I said again, a smile spreading across my face.But deep down, I couldn’t shake one lingering question: What’s next?*******The door to my office burst open, and before I could react, my twin boys, Liam an

Chapter 30

Carina’s POVI took a deep breath as I stood outside the boardroom. My heart was still racing from the conversation with my boys, but now wasn’t the time to dwell on it. This meeting had to go well. Investors were here, and everything was riding on our next project.I pushed the door open and stepped in. Every head turned to me. The room was full—board members, department heads, and, of course, the investors. They all looked sharp in their suits and polished expressions, except for one man in the corner who seemed more interested in his coffee than the meeting.“Apologies for being late,” I said with a small smile. “Thank you all for your patience.”One of the investors, Mr. Roberts, a man in his sixties with a salt-and-pepper beard, raised an eyebrow. “We were just about to start without you, Ms. Carter.”“I wouldn’t blame you,” I said as I took my seat at the head of the table. “But I promise to make up for lost time. Let’s dive right in, shall we?”There were a few murmurs of agree
