CHAPTER 31: UNANSWERED QUESTIONS

A MONTH AFTERRAYMOND’S POVHaving a peaceful dinner, something I hadn’t experienced in a long time. The clinking of spoon and plates filled the air, and for here I am, not eating alone or staring at my step mother, there was no tension. Just these two around me, sitting together like a real family and yeah.. This are my fucking family...Bella was excitedly talking about her new school, her tiny voice animated as she shared everything that happened."And guess what, Daddy?" She grinned, rolling her eyes. "I made a new best friend today!"I smiled. "Oh yeah? What’s her name?""Eliza!" she chirped.Ava choked on her water. She coughed dramatically, her eyes widening in pure horror."Eliza?!" she repeated, almost dropping her spoon.Bella nodded proudly. "Yes! She’s so nice. She even shared her lunch with me!"Ava’s face twisted like she had just swallowed something sour. "Eliza? That name is cursed."Bella giggled, her tiny hands covering her mouth. "Mommy, you’re so dramatic!" She tea

CHAPTER 32: FLASH BACK- 10 YEARS AGO

FLASH BACK- 10 YEARS AGO"Raymond needs to come home, William. This isn't right!" Hannah’s - Raymond mom voice echoed through the large living room, out of frustrationMr. William stood firm, arms crossed over his chest. "No, Hannah. He stays abroad until he regains his memory. I won’t risk bringing him back until then."** Hannah exhaled sharply, her hands trembling. "Keeping him away won’t help him remember. He needs to be around familiar faces, familiar places!"William’s eyes darkened. "You don’t understand what’s at stake. If word gets out that my son, the future heir, has memory issues, do you know what that would mean for us? For me?"Hannah’s heart ached at his words. "So this is about your reputation?" she whispered, shaking her head. "Not about Raymond? Not about what’s best for him?"William’s jaw tightened, refusing to answer. A heavy silence stretched between them before Hannah finally spoke again. "I won’t sit back and watch you do this to our son."**One week later,

CHAPTER 33: SACK LETTER

AVA POVI stared at Mr William, my fingers tightening around the check. My mind was racing, trying to make sense of what was happening.“Why do you want me to divorce Raymond?” I finally asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Without answering, he slid a document across the desk toward me. I hesitated before picking it up, my eyes scanning the words. My heart pounded harder with each line I read.It was a contract.A contract that stated I would divorce Raymond quietly, without telling him I had been forced to do so. I was to leave and move far away, taking our daughter, Bella, with me. In return, I would receive additional financial support every month.My hands trembled as I lowered the paper, my eyes locking onto Mr. William. I studied his face, searching for any sign of emotion, but he remained as cold and distant as ever.Why now? Why was he so desperate to erase me from Raymond’s life?Then I remembered.The way his entire demeanor shifted the last time he saw my father’s pict

CHAPTER 34: IT MIGHT BE DIFFICULT

AVA POVRaymond stood there, his whole body tense. His fists were clenched at his sides, and I could tell he was trying really hard not to lose his temper. His jaw was tight, and he was breathing slowly, like he was forcing himself to stay calm.The air in the room felt heavy, but before I could say anything, my phone buzzed in my hand. I looked down and saw a message from William.“I hope you received the letter, and note: No drama. Respect is a beautiful thing, you know what to do.”I swallowed hard, quickly clearing my throat and forcing a smile onto my face as I looked up at Raymond.“I think… this is a good thing,” I said, trying to sound cheerful. “I can just stay at home, look after Bella, and also…” My words trailed off as I struggled to finish the sentence.Raymond’s eyes darkened, his hands balling into even tighter fists.Before he could say anything, I quickly stepped forward, pecked him lightly on the lips, and turned on my heels, rushing out of the office before my emoti

CHAPTER 35: LEAVE MY DAUGHTER OUT OF THIS

AVA POVI went to pick Bella up from school, trying my best not to let the frustration of not working at the company anymore get to me. As we drove home, I played her favorite songs, letting the music fill the car. She was vibing to it, clapping her hands and singing along, her little voice making me smile.But then, she suddenly turned to me. "Mom, you should be at work with Dad. Why did you come to pick me today?"I glanced at her and smiled. "Is it now a crime to pick my child from school?"She pouted, looking a bit sober, but then, as another of her favorite songs played, she nodded along again, her mood lifting. I let out a silent breath.At HomeBella was eating at the dining table while the maid served her, and I was checking her bag for assignments. As I flipped through her school notes, my eyes caught a small brown envelope tucked inside. At first, I thought it was just a regular message from the school. They usually sent emails, but sometimes they sent physical notes too."B
