Chapter 1

مؤلف: Cammy Winslow
Wesley's POV

I had just arrived at the hospital gates when, suddenly, a dark figure plummeted to the ground right in front of me. My mind went blank, and a shrill ringing filled my ears.

Miles Glover, my son, was lying there, his body covered in blood.

"Miles! Wake up, Miles! Don't scare me!"

I cradled his broken body as a wave of endless terror and despair crashed over me. As if hearing my voice, Miles used every ounce of his remaining strength to open his eyes.

"Dad, don't save me… I hate this… this body! It's not even mine anymore!"

I looked into his dead, despair-filled eyes, and my fear reached its absolute peak.

"This is all my fault. I failed to protect you. Miles, please don't leave me, okay?"

Just then, a group of strangers rushed over. Before I realized what was happening, they grabbed both of us and roughly shoved us into a van.

Bewildered, I desperately begged them, "Please, save my son!"

No one answered. As I watched the van pull further and further away from the hospital, I lunged forward to grab the steering wheel, but a hard kick sent me crashing to the back of the van. Then, I found myself pinned to the floor under someone's shoe.

"Please take my son back to the hospital! I'm begging you! I'll give you whatever you want!"

After a long, bumpy ride, the van finally stopped. They dragged us out and dumped us in a deserted area in the middle of nowhere.

The man in the passenger seat sneered.

"You want to go to the hospital? Dream on. You can just stay here and wait for death to take you!"

Miles' blood had already soaked through my clothes. Despair swallowed me like a tidal wave.

"Please, if you want my life, just take it. But please save my son!"

The men threw me into a freshly dug pit before they turned around and left without another glance back. Looking around at the empty wilderness, I completely broke down.

Suddenly, my phone rang. It was my wife, Teyana Packard.

"Well? Are you willing to admit your mistake now?" she asked.

I swallowed every ounce of pride I had left. "Yes, yes, I was wrong. As long as you save our son, you two can do whatever you want. I don't want anything else anymore! I just want Miles to live!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" she huffed, sounding exasperated. "It's just a minor surgery. Why are you acting like it's life or death?"

I cradled Miles' body as it slowly grew colder, unable to understand how she could possibly call this a minor surgery.

Then, I heard the voices of Hunter Leach and his daughter, Cassadee Leach, in the background.

"Mom, I'm scared… They're all calling me the illegitimate daughter…"

    Wesley's POV"Didn't we get divorced a long time ago, Teyana? Isn't your current legally wedded husband Hunter Leach, the man currently locked up in the psychiatric hospital?" I asked.Teyana froze. She never expected me to actually discover her secret."We… We can get remarried. Let's get remarried, okay? I can't lose you too."Just then, my younger sister, Riley, popped out of nowhere, grinning facetiously as she grabbed my hand."Wesley, you should forgive Teyana. She didn't mean for any of this to happen."I backhanded her across the face as well."I sacrificed my own happiness for you and for this so-called family. My son is dead now, and you're asking me to forgive the person responsible for it?"My dear little sister, you'd better hurry home and see what's going on. Your life of luxury is about to come to an end.""Wait, you have to save me, Wesley! You can't just stand there and watch me get killed by those debt collectors!" Riley cried out.But I didn't care about an

    Wesley's POVCassadee, having lost her mind, was determined to take me down.At one point, a group of black-clad men surrounded us.The man in charge looked at me with a smirk."Weren't you quite impressive back in the day, Wesley Glover? How did you even end up like this?""Enough," a man interrupted. "I don't have time to get involved in your messy drama. You promised you'd help me, Wesley, so I'm taking you with me right now."The man who spoke was Bernard Hough, the father of my first love, Erika Hough.Back then, both Erika and I had our unavoidable reasons. I had been burdened by my family, while she bore the responsibility for her own. We were destined to be mere passing travelers in each other's lives.But Erika had been far more resolute than I had ever been. In her attempt to see me one last time, she ended up in a car accident and had not woken up since.I was taken to the hospital by Bernard, where they bandaged my wounds. Biting through the pain, I asked him, "Whe

    Third-Person POVTeyana had decided that after Hunter passed away, she would give Cassadee some money and send her back to Ostosia.Then, she'd quietly remarry Wesley without anyone realizing it.Later, when Wesley found out about Hunter's existence, she had enjoyed watching him get jealous. Whenever it happened, she knew she held a place in his heart.But Wesley had suddenly abandoned his usual gentlemanly ways and instigated Miles to bully Cassadee. She didn't want to see their son turn into a tyrant, so she arranged for someone to stage a fake kidnapping to scare them.It had all just been an act, though, so how had things turned out like this? How?Jacintha handed Teyana the investigation results. As it turned out, Hunter had been behind everything.No wonder… No wonder Wesley had told her she'd regret it. He was right. She regretted it now.Karma had been swift. Why? Her first love had murdered her own son. And she herself had washed away Miles' ashes with her own two ha

    Third-Person POVTeyana froze instantly. She staggered backward several steps before quickly regaining her composure."What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't he get into Mallard U? It must be Wesley! Wesley went insane and hid him away. That father-and-son duo is just trying to get my attention."Jacintha had never seen Teyana like this before."I've seen Miles' death certificate," she replied, her voice trembling with fear. "A-As well as his cremation certificate…"Panic seized Teyana."What did you just say? Cremation?"She bolted out the door, jumped into her car, and sped toward the crematorium. When she arrived, the staff member recognized her, and his face twisted in contempt."Aren't you the horrible mother who washed away her own son's ashes?""No! That wasn't my son! Those were fake! You people must be working with Wesley to deceive me!"The employee looked at her coldly. "We have surveillance cameras. If you don't believe me, you can watch the footage."When t

    Wesley's POV"It looks like you've completely lost your mind, Wesley," Teyana continued. "You need to be sent to a psychiatric hospital for proper treatment right away!"She signaled to one of the men behind her to contact a psychiatric facility."No! I'm not sick! The one who's sick is you, Teyana! You can't even tell right from wrong. Open your eyes and take a good look!"An unreadable smile appeared on her cold face as she reached for a bottle of water."No! What are you doing, Teyana? Stop! Don't! That's Miles, Teyana!"Firmly pinned down, I could only watch as she twisted open the cap and poured the water over the ashes. Not satisfied with just the one, she grabbed several more, pouring them until the ashes and water mixed into a muddy sludge and were completely washed away, leaving nothing behind.A scream tore out of me, and a mouthful of blood spilled from my lips. I began to laugh—a laugh so unhinged that it made even Teyana and Hunter look afraid."I see you've really

    Wesley's POVI clicked on the video attached to the news article. In it, the family of three stood together, laughing and smiling. Teyana looked every bit the loving mother.But I felt nothing. It didn't matter anymore. None of it mattered. Miles was gone, and with him, my entire reason for living. Whatever she did meant absolutely nothing to me now.I watched with my own eyes as Miles was pushed into the cremation chamber. The son I had raised for 18 years was now reduced to ashes.As I held the urn containing his remains, someone suddenly snatched it away while I was still in a daze.It was Hunter. The innocent, pitiful expression he'd always worn before was long gone. Instead, he smirked cruelly at me as he casually played with the urn in his hands."Give Miles' ashes back to me! Give them back!"He shot me a meaningful look. "Give them back? And what if I don't want to?"I lunged toward him, trying to grab the urn, but he kicked me hard and sent me flying to the ground. H
